NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Jack Frost, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal
Project updates
  • ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
  • There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Jack Frost,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
  • Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018

Hello Jack Frost,

Reviewer of the Year

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.

Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760 reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001 reviews), Semmendinger (8,440 reviews), PRehse (8,092 reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306 reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016 reviews), and Elmidae (3,615 reviews).
Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven months, while Boleyn, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top 100 reviewers.

Less good news, and an appeal for some help

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.


Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.


Training video

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Batman v Superman revision

Hi Jack Frost,

Yesterday I made updates to my edit request, but since my edits are still showing above your initial comments, and I'm new to Wikipedia, I thought I would let you know here, just in case it helps, that I did try to revise my edit request based on your instructions. My apologies also if this message doesn't adhere to the correct format.

If I can be of further help let me know.

Thank you!

@Usagienthusiast: Apologies for the delay, however it looks as if your query has been answered. Should you have any further queries or requests for help, please don't hesitate to ask! Thanks, --Jack Frost (talk) 01:07, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mallg: Hi! Wikipedia has a number of policies on what articles are suitable for inclusion in the encyclopaedia. In the first instance, articles such as the one you created need to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, through providing citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Wikipedia also has a guideline on autobiographies, which are articles about yourself. This is considered a form of conflict of interest. Please have a read of these policies, and if you have any further questions, please let me know. Thanks, --Jack Frost (talk) 01:18, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dove Cameron

Dear Editor:

I do not know of Dove Cameron and never attempted to edit a page about her. If you believe this has happened, then it is surely a hack. Please take appropriate steps. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.38.30.127 (talk) 18:15, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@100.38.30.127: Hi! It appears that this was in reference to an edit and subsequent warning from back in 2017. Given you are editing from an IP address, I suspect at that time another person was using that address. Given you did not make the edits, please consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices. Thanks, and welcome to Wikipedia! --Jack Frost (talk) 01:24, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hindi translation?

Hi, where was the original in Hindi from which you think Nana Farari was translated? I can't find it. Experience suggests to me that it is just someone who has a poor grasp of English ... and is about to be topic banned because they also have a poor grasp of policies. - Sitush (talk) 19:13, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sitush: Hi Sitush, I couldn't make hide nor hair of whether it was a very poor translation of a text, or very poor grasp of English, and was more aiming for another opinion (possibly erroneously...). I think next time I'll just go with my gut and whack it on face value. Thanks for your time dealing with it anyway! --Jack Frost (talk) 01:31, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, except I am unsure how to deal with the template given that it connects to a maintenance list entry. The template and the entry are now not needed. - Sitush (talk) 01:35, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm 99.9% sure it auto-populates; no template = no maintenance list entry. I've removed the template and it appears to have disappeared from the list... Hopefully I haven't broken something! --Jack Frost (talk) 01:40, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if you have I will deny ever having been here to raise the issue :) - Sitush (talk) 01:42, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Mackey Article Edits

Hi Jack,

I've been trying to edit what Craig Mackey did during the 22 March 2017 terror attack in Westminster, London UK where he locked himself in his car and did not confront the terrorist. This is a factual description of the events that took place. Other law enforcement and former soldiers ran towards to the attacker - Guardian Link

I'm still new here, so I'm wondering why this edit has not been accepted.

Thanks! Dan
