New pages patrol newsletter

Hello True Pagan Warrior,

New Page Review article queue, March to September 2023

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

I have asked for a Move review of List of spaghetti Westerns. Because you were involved in the discussion, you might want to participate in the move review. --В²C 04:36, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A category or categories you have created have been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 October 1 § Category:WikiProject X members on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. Qwerfjkltalk 09:33, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop moving sports articles to non-capital letters

You know this was being discussed and moving things during the discussion is considered disruptive. Moving articles like 1999 Dubai Tennis Championships – Singles or Athletics at the 1999 Pan American Games – Men's decathlon should not be happening at all.

There is a consensus. If the new discussion results in a different consensus, I'll conform to it. If you're saying that editors should be frozen from action when there is any pending discussion, then by that logic no sports events articles should even be created since you are questioning which case to use after a dash. ~TPW 13:13, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
NO there is not consensus at all! It was challenged immediately as bogus. You should realize this. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:12, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Challenging consensus is not the same as changing consensus. You should realize this. All the best. ~TPW 15:11, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus is to leave it alone. That bogus thing that someone tried to slip through was challenged immediately for not informing all the projects involved. I hope that is not what you are relying on as consensus. Even if it was ok, it is being challenged so you should have the decency not to go changing related articles while under discussion. The first few articles I simply moved back with a summary, thinking you would desist. Then you did a couple more and I brought it here. Then you moved more and I gave a warning. Then you moved still more and another warning was given. I'm not sure what more I can do here to make you understand. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:35, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2023

Information icon Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to 1983 Custom Credit Australian Indoor Championships – Doubles. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. You have been told in edit summaries and on your talk page that this is disruptive editing. You have left me no choice but to give a formal warning. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:17, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I told you before, my understanding is that while consensus can change, it has not yet been changed. If you are indeed giving me a "formal warning," it should include a link to the particular policy you are claiming I've violated. I am unaware of any policy that is as you have described, but I will gladly follow that policy once I have read it. Please do link to it. ~TPW 15:08, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I also am confused about the assertion that replacing a single capital letter with the lowercase version makes anything "harder to follow." Even without a redirect, I know of no technical reason why this would be the case. Kindly provide evidence, including diffs. All the best. ~TPW 15:11, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This isnt a question into why... that is being taken care of with the rfc "as you know!" You should be well aware of standard protocol that when there are huge disagreements as to what consensus is, you don't go making page moves while under discussion. Com'n that's wikipedia 101. But I see you continue to do the same over and over. Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:51, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Let's be clear: I asked you for a link. Surely if one exists, you can help me find it. ~TPW 13:58, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at Swimming at the 2015 European Games – Men's 1500 metre freestyle, you may be blocked from editing. This is an undiscussed move against longstanding consensus and you know it! You also know it is under discussion. You have been told several times and already been warned not to do it yet you continue. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:00, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with Fyunck here—it is indeed disruptive to continue to move articles when a discussion is ongoing and you've been asked to stop. Ed [talk] [OMT] 04:01, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for expressing your opinion. As I noted to the other editor, I do my best to comply with policy and consensus, and I've not yet seen any policy or consensus (or guideline, or even essay) suggesting that editors are expected to predict future consensus, rather than relying on current consensus. Any assistance you can provide in pointing me toward evidence of policy or consensus would be appreciated. ~TPW 13:57, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are not expected to "predict" anything, but maintaining the status quo while a discussion runs its course is a basic part of finding a new or maintaining an existing consensus on Wikipedia. See, for example, WP:TALKDONTREVERT. Please consider this a final warning. Ed [talk] [OMT] 07:00, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
With apologies, I based my response on my understanding of policy, and did not realize that you are an administrator who can enforce a different interpretation. I respectfully disagree with your suggestion that I've violated any policy; I did not, for example, revert anything, and by working with established consensus I have been seeking to maintain the status quo. That said, you have the tools to enforce your view, and I do not. All the best. ~TPW 14:14, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you move a page disruptively, as you did at Boxing at the 1984 Summer Olympics – Welterweight. This is going to wind up getting you blocked! Even an administrator has told you to stop. @The ed17:. You have now moved another three articles including Diving at the 2019 Pan American Games – Men's synchronized 10 metre platform, and Swimming at the 2013 SEA Games – Women's 200 metre butterfly Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:39, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
