New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Liance, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!
The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
  • We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

  • We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

  • ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
  • Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

ACTRIAL:

  • ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing

  • Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled

  • While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News

  • The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Notability

ACTRIAL:

  • WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags

  • Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

  • A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

  • There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

  • Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

  • The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English

  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

  • Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
  • The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Recent review of a new article: DeepOnion

Hello Liance,

Thank you for reviewing my new article DeepOnion. Your Comment: Sources do not establish notability of subject, merely acknowledging its existence. I am a little confused that it looks my sources all focus on DeepOnion and DeepOnion only. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. Your opinion is very important for me.

Hi Skynav, sorry for the delay in answereing your question. I must have missed your message. All references on Wikipedia must conform to our policies in that they must be reliable and secondary, some of your sources do not fit that requirement; in addition the references should establish notability about the subject (CryptoCompare for example). The article can be greatly improved, please ask if you have any more questions. Thanks! -Liancetalk/contribs 13:07, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 22:07:40, 14 December 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Rinonut


Dear Liance, regarding Draft:M A Sargent Medal, could you take a quick look and check if it now has enough references to go live?

Rinonut (talk) 22:07, 14 December 2018 (UTC) Rinonut (talk) 22:07, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed

Dear Liance, please forgive me. I'm a newbie and misspelled the title of the page Noman W. V. Hayes Medal. "Noman" should be "Norman." I have no idea how to fix this. Could you do it for me? Rinonut (talk) 07:06, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved your article to Norman W. V. Hayes Medal, next time see WP:MOVE for an easy guide. Have a nice day. -Liancetalk/contribs 13:46, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article review Haelan 951

Hi Liance, I am new at creating articles for Wikipedia. Can you clarify your comment "Some references are associated with the subject. Please remove these." Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haelan951 (talk • contribs) 18:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Haelan951, I was referring to the fact that Wikipedia requires references to be independent of the subject, in that they usually should not be published by a party closely related to the subject itself. I recommend removing references published by a party closely related to the subject itself before resubmitting your article. Please let me know if you have any other questions. -Liancetalk/contribs 23:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liance could you please change the Wikipedia headline from Donald Hooker, to Donald "C-Note" Hooker. As this heading has the most preexisting Google results, and the artist is more widely known as C-Note. Selena Selena Ebony (talk) 17:32, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Selena Ebony, I have moved your draft from Draft:Donald Hooker to Draft:Donald "C-Note" Hooker per your request. -Liancetalk/contribs 04:37, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Apps: Swift Playgrounds + Kiwaka

Hello Liance,

Thank you for reviewing and rating Swift Playgrounds. Someone tagged the page with: "{Advert | date=February 2019}" I would like to improve the article so that the tag can be removed. I've reviewed the document and I don't think it has inappropriate links or promotional content. Maybe the language style could be improved. Do you have any recommendations?

Also, I've recently submitted an article for an educational game: Draft:Kiwaka within the scope of the WikiProject Apps. I've noticed that you are also in this group. Do you want to take a look and give me your feedback?

Best regards, --Coel Jo (talk) 13:46, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Coel Jo, I took a look at Swift Playgrounds and I think there are no particularly problematic issues with the article, perhaps the language could be made a bit more neutral but otherwise the article is great. When I get the chance I will take a look at Draft:Kiwaka and get it reviewed. Let me know if you have any more questions. Keep up the good work! -Liancetalk/contribs 17:29, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Open Beatz festival

I had a look at the article corresponding to the submission you declined at the German Wikipedia, and I noticed that it's using the same ref that I used. You said that that ref is invalid. Do you know if it's an issue that the ref is on the corresponding article? I understand if you can't explain. GOLDIEM J (talk) 16:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GOLDIEM J, I am assuming you are talking about your draft, Draft:Open beatz. The ref itself is okay at best, but it should not be used alone to establish notability. In order to be included in Wikipedia, articles must have multiple references that show coverage and are independent of the subject - the website you cited does not appear to meet this criteria. You should look to add some more references that are not as closely associated in order to establish notability. Please let me know if you have any more questions. -Liancetalk/contribs 19:14, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I actually have another question right now. How do you eat a sandwich?😂 #humour GOLDIEM J (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Liance,

Thank you for guiding my article on Minnie Howard to the preferred location. Obviously, I'm very new, and I learn much more quickly through trial and error than through reading copious amounts of text. I'm taking the directive to "be bold" to heart. So, again, thank you for your assistance.

One question, I would like to make an alteration to formatting but when I submitted the article for review, the instruction asked that I don't change anything. As long as I don't change any of the text, can I still make the formatting change to bring the article in line with what I see as common practice?

Sincerely, MagicWellGilt73 (talk) 19:21, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lonnie McFadden

Dear Liance:

Thanks for moving my Lonnie McFadden page to Draft:Lonnie McFadden. I understand I need to be patient, but I'm wondering if there is any information about the process of having pages accepted. This is the first page I've written, but my hope is to post pages for many Kansas City jazz musicians who have sufficient published material about them for creating pages. I'll feel much more comfortable moving forward with this project when they start to be posted. It's hard to know if the work is just disappearing.

I would be grateful for any information about how I might know if and when the page will be posted.

Many thanks, Anne AG Kansas City AG Kansas City (talk) 00:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AG Kansas City, it appears that Draft:Lonnie McFadden is currently out of the review process, so it cannot be reviewed by an editor and potentially included in the Wikipedia mainspace until you resubmit it. An editor has declined your submission, and I recommend you take a look at the advice they provided and edit the submission based on that advice so that the draft fits Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Once you feel that you are ready to re-enter the review process there should be a blue "Resubmit" button on your draft that you can click on. Hope this helps! -Liancetalk/contribs 00:12, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for moving my draft page to the right place. It's much appreciated! Will remember to do this in the future.
