About your review of Upcoming Porter Robinson album
Hey Mccapra, I noticed that you marked this redirect as reviewed after I had tagged it for CSD R2 deletion. I would not recommend doing this, and it's not endorsed by the new page patrol guidelines either. Most of the time, of course, a page tagged for speedy deletion will be deleted by an administrator soon after, so marking it as reviewed wouldn't do much. However, if the tag is contested, this will result in the page staying in mainspace, but bypassing the review. This potential for abuse is mitigated by leaving pages with CSD tags (and PROD tags, for that matter) in the queue. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:17, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- @TechnoSquirrel69: hi the article was redirected to draft, not sent to speedy deletion. Mccapra (talk) 23:31, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- As I understand it marking such a redirect as reviewed simply takes it out of the queue. If the article is moved from draft space back into mainspace it reappears in the NPP queue regardless of whether the original redirect to draft was marked as reviewed or not. Or have I got that completely wrong? Mccapra (talk) 23:35, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, I draftified the article, which left behind a redirect in mainspace due to the page move. That redirect was then tagged for speedy deletion as it's cross-namespace. The reason that marking that redirect as reviewed is problematic is because if I or another editor were to contest that speedy deletion and, for example, change the target of the redirect or even start another article from it, that page would not get a proper review since it had been removed from the new pages feed, and probably won't get seen by an administrator either since it's no longer in the speedy deletion tracking categories. I wouldn't ever game the system like that, but it is a loophole in the system that abusive users can exploit. In general, it is not appropriate to mark any page as reviewed if it has CSD tags on it. Either an administrator deletes it, or the tags are contested and NPP will review the page as usual. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Adulf mcEtulfe hoax?
Why have you listed my article as a hoax? GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 13:02, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Because I can’t find any sources supporting it and it contradicts sourced articles on the topic we already have. Mccapra (talk) 13:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- What sourced articles do we already have that it contradicts? I did not intend to put false information on Wikipedia, if I have then I apologise. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 13:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- @GoldenBootWizard276: apologies my misreading. I’ll remove the tag. Mccapra (talk) 21:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello Mccapra,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Nice to meet you
We just met at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New Capital Sports Hall I see youre a new page reviewer - could I send you a couple of drafts I created to take a look at? Theyre awaiting review. MaskedSinger (talk) 16:52, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- hi yes if you like. I’m only intermittently active as a page reviewer and if your articles are sport-related I won’t review them, but no harm in having a look. Mccapra (talk) 04:58, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- thanks. one is sport related, she does taekwondo. the other is Draft:Logan Levkoff. MaskedSinger (talk) 05:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- ok well my view is that notability is doubtful in the case of Logan Levkoff based on the current sourcing. If there were some quality reviews of her books that would change my view. Mccapra (talk) 17:17, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- ok. thanks for that. ill look MaskedSinger (talk) 17:47, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

- Goodreads and other UGC sites are never acceptable as sources to support notability but yes the others are good and I think will make this subject a pass under WP:AUTHOR. If you add them in (not Goodreads!) I’ll complete the review. Mccapra (talk) 20:24, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- super. thankyou! i will do it tomorrow. much appreciated. thanks for your terrific counsel and guidance. MaskedSinger (talk) 20:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

I just discovered that the page has been protected so it can only be moved by an admin so I’m afraid I cam’t move it. Sorry. Mccapra (talk) 06:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- ok no problem. are you able to let one of them know? MaskedSinger (talk) 07:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Actually I am going to leave it. If it has been move-protected that means there is a contentious past history of editing on this topic so the best thing is just to wait till the AfC reviewers reach it and do their work. Mccapra (talk) 11:39, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- ok. thankyou. the issues were 11 years ago. MaskedSinger (talk) 12:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
