Thank You

Hi there, I came from my place to say "Thank You" for your works on the particular article named Ramakrishna Mission Shikshanamandira, which is created by me tonight. Keep helping me in this platform if possible and stay safe my friend :)

"Adriano (footballer, born 1982)" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Adriano (footballer, born 1982) and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 5#Adriano (footballer, born 1982) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 10:17, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Burnside Public School

Hi I am so sorry for reverting your edits! If I did remove them it's because I thought I made a mistake while editing or something and had no clue someone else had actually edited something. I just assumed I had amnesia. This is my note to be more observant for sure!! Oh and they were good. I just didn't see them and because I'm kinda new to wikipedia I was a bit hyper aware to avoid mistakes. But thank you!

RM discussion...

Mind closing it as well? since you had done the move. Talk:Alberto Suárez. – robertsky (talk) 18:02, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the edits

Thanks for your recent edits to Robert Hood (explorer). I wrote that yesterday at my mom's in the midst of Christmas day chaos(!), after Hood came up in conversation. Geordie (talk) 18:51, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which oblast for Bezimenne?

Hi. Thank you for your interest in Bezimenne. Before we can finalise the name we have to solve the puzzle of which oblast it is in. According to the map in the infobox, it is in Kherson Oblast, not Mykolaiv Oblast. See the discussion at Talk:Bezimenne, Snihurivka urban hromada, Bashtanka Raion, Mykolaiv Oblast#Mykolaiv Oblast or Kherson Oblast?. Ymblanter thinks OSM is pretty accurate, in which case the map in the infobox is wrong. I have not been able to solve it and am unconvinced either way. Can you help? Thanks. Nurg (talk) 05:36, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I am of no help. I was just reviewing redirects as part of NPP and found this. I know it should have a shorter name, but I can't help determine the correct Oblast. MB 05:47, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of edits

Greetings, I happened to notice that you reverted my edits regarding Bishop Luke Waddinge of Fens and Fr. William Devereux of Piercetown. To take the page The Wexford Carols as an example: the articles you reverted the links to are for entirely different men. Bishop Luke Waddinge is not the same person as the Friar Luke Wadding, and Fr. William Devereux is certainly not the same as the Anglo-Norman nobleman William Devereux. Factually, they are all completely different people, so I cannot conceive of why you reverted my edits as "Non Constructive". I will fix the errors again soon, if you don't wish to. Best regards, DefeatingLine (talk) 23:05, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You changed many links from articles to things that do not exist, such as Kilmore, County Wexford to Kilmore Carols, making your whole series of edits very suspicious. I see another editor has removed your changes in Kilmore, County Wexford, so perhaps you should explain yourself on the article talk pages and get WP:CONSENSUS. MB 23:29, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the Kilmore Carols, I made those edits in anticipation of an article I drafted. I believe that the Kilmore carols are unique and notable enough to warrant their own article. My draft can be found here. I was probably too hasty in adding the links, as I see that it can take over four months for an article to be reviewed. My draft is hardly perfect, but I expect that's the point of review. Any suggestions you have regarding the draft, by the way, would be most welcome. DefeatingLine (talk) 01:53, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You should definitely wait to see if the article is accepted before adding links to it. The Draft looks well referenced, so it could get reviewed fairly quickly. You can change the numbers in the list to just "#", that creates an numbered list with proper spacing between elements. It's great that you have references. Those are acceptable, but it would be better if they were more complete with citation templates like {{cite book}} or {{cite web}}. That is something you could work on while waiting for a review. See WP:REFB for help, and you can always ask for help at the WP:TEAHOUSE. MB 02:05, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pascaline Edwards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lome.

What does your edit summary mean? Please do not revert my edits giving such reasons. Instead of reinserting bare references you may try to fix them. Egeymi (talk) 16:25, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a mop reserved in your name

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

— TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 06:28, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Remarkable work in patrolling mainspace, and could clearly use the tools. I'd support if you decided to request adminship. — Wug·a·po·des​ 20:15, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think patrolling and XfD look good, but would like to see more content creation, probably a GA. If you have one, which I think shouldn't take more than three months once you pick a topic, I'd be more than happy to support. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:50, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I already have two (and 85 DYKs). MB 01:34, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Polson Logging Co. 2

Remember that steam engine-related article you edited and added that “bare URLs” banner? Well I’ve tried two improve the URLs since then and now the page is longer than it was when you probably saw it. Is it alright if the bare URLs banner gets removed? 23.169.64.51 (talk) 01:02, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it seems that there are no longer any bare urls so you can certainly remove it. But there is a different referencing error now - Ref #13 says there are to refs with the same name but different content. Probably just needs a minor correction. Can you fix that too?

Billard

How much more of this[1] kind of trolling cleanup, typo(s) fixed: Billard → Billiard should I expect? This has continued for a few months now. Invasive Spices (talk) 31 December 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Invasive Spices, it's interesting that you didn't revert it then - but you knew of course that the edit hadn't actually been made and was an AWB false positive leaving a non revertible edit summary. What the AWB run did do was to remove a lot of unnecessary overlinking and effect some other MoS corrections. Its a long article and I see you added 86.9% of the text. Probably took a long time to write and I found it very interesting, but clean ups and copy-editing are necessary evils and any editor is welcome to do it. It even happens on the many articles I write, but with the arthritis in my fingers I've become a rather clumsy typist and I'm grateful for it. MB was doing the right thing. Perhaps being so quick to accuse experienced editors of trolling isn't quite the best reaction. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:11, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Several months" and "so quick" don't go together. The dichotomy of an immediate impression and several months experience is the important thing here.
it's interesting that you didn't revert it then no it isn't. I read the edit. Why would I revert any of it? but you knew of course of course I did. Invasive Spices (talk) 1 January 2023 (UTC)
As a retired professional linguist, I am unable to resolve how that can be a dichotomy unless you are confusing the word with its botanical sense. Your 'several months' and your quick and incorrect impression don't conjoin in theory and method in any sense. The accusation of trolling was just plain wrong. Perhaps you might wish to thank MB for his clean up work. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:50, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello MB,

New Page Review queue December 2022
Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
