New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello Theroadislong,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022

Suggestions:

  • There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
  • Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
  • Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
  • This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or 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.

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Theroadislong,

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.

stan Kakudo richardson page

Hi, I submit a page about Stan Kakudo Richardson, he is a renown shakuhachi player (one of the few world masters). He has played with Riley Lee, Christopher Yohmei Blasdel, Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin and others. I am his student and wanted to created a page for him. Not sure why it was rejected. If there anything I need to change, please let me know. Thanks! Alberto Ambattaglino (talk) 20:52, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft Draft:Stan Kakudo Richardson was declined because it has no sources, and no indication of how they pass WP:GNG. See WP:YFA. Theroadislong (talk) 20:55, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indoor Advertising

Hi, I just submitted two drafts of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Indoor_Advertising. Please consider the later because is has some errors corrected. Thank you. Fraredemptor (talk) 09:50, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you have been told the draft is "riddled with problems" tone is not appropriate and we already have an article on advertising. Theroadislong (talk) 09:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My article refers to a specific form of advertising - indoor advertising. This is different from put of home advertising and this is the sole purpose of my article. I have tried to correct the problems of my article. Please take a look at it. Fraredemptor (talk) 10:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you ask for help here Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk Theroadislong (talk) 11:03, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I followed your advice but I didn t get any replay. So what should I do now? are you going to revise my draft once more or not? it s been a week since my last attempt to post my text but i didn t get any answer. Fraredemptor (talk) 07:35, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You can re-submit Draft:Indoor Advertising for review, I won't review it again, I don't think we need a separate article on indoor advertising. Theroadislong (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Theroadislong why did you deny my draft

Why? Numberblockfan22323 (talk) 20:16, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is in the pink box, the topic is not notable. Theroadislong (talk) 21:05, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Alf Webster

You may find this one interesting. I declined it due to inadequate sourcing, though. S0091 (talk) 18:53, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh yes that looks promising, I'll see what I can find on them. Theroadislong (talk) 18:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Great! It will hopefully be a nice change from reviewing some of not so interesting stuff not to mention the loads of crap we get. S0091 (talk) 19:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes a very pleasant change to find a nugget amongst the dross. Theroadislong (talk) 19:23, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers to nuggets! S0091 (talk) 19:31, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You declined this page as it was inadequate for submission, page link - Draft:GPTZero

I made a proper page on this same topic that got declined because of the above existing draft, Link to my page - Draft:GPTZERO

Please advice me, what i am supposed to do in this case? As i took alot of time drafting mine for submission, yet the existing one is declined with one line of code Yabancii (talk) 09:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC) Yabancii (talk) 09:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The draft that I declined as a test edit, had a single line “GPTZero is an AI detector” you should edit the other draft and blank the test one. Theroadislong (talk) 09:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay Sir, i was able to contact the person with the single line draft, he will delete his draft.
and then we will re-submit our main draft.

Request on 14:03:21, 29 April 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Varun Godham



Varun Godham (talk) 14:03, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft needs to show how the subject passes the criteria at WP:NWRITER, also note that blogs and YouTube are not usually reliable sources.

The Fourteen of Meaux

Thanks, mate. I kind of promised the creator to help with this, but didn't get around to it. Good to know you've accepted it now. Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes though strangely they had messed the draft up again with this edit [1] It looks Ok now though and an interesting topic. Theroadislong (talk) 07:37, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding bKash Limited Wikipedia Article

Hello Theroadislong, can you please mention why I used copyrighted content? All the informations given on the article is from the official website of bKash Limited. Hence, it will be really helpful if you could inform me about the copyrighted details so that I can recover accordingly. Sakib.mahboob (talk) 12:43, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly Sakib.mahboob, you also said in your edit summary "All the informations are taken from their official website: https://www.bkash.com/en/about" you CANNOT copy and paste content from their site, we have no interest in what their own website says in any case, we need independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 12:47, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Theroadislong. I have updated the writeup and did it on my own. Now, I have not copied from any article/website rather did the writeup which I used on my University assignment. Requesting you to please check and approve. I am really eager on Wikipedia and want to be an active participant. If it is possible, I will be very glad to learn more from you. Sakib.mahboob (talk) 13:06, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have reverted your edit it was entirely promotional an unsourced, please STOP. Theroadislong (talk) 13:08, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have tagged you on the Talk section of bKash Board of Director section. Please have a look. I think it is an important information and has to be updated. Sakib.mahboob (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
