New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Lee Vilenski/Archives/2024,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

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!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

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:

We are approaching the end of the 2024 WikiCup's second round, with a little over two weeks remaining. Currently, contestants must score at least 105 points to progress to the third round.

Our current top scorers are as follows:

Competitors may submit work for the second round until the end of 28 April, and the third round starts 1 May.

If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from gaming Wikipedia policies or processes to receive more points.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please read Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Thank you today for 1984 World Snooker Championship, introduced (in 2020): "This article is about the World Snooker Championship event in 1984. A year before the blackball final, Steve Davis won his third world championship. He defeated Jimmy White in the final, which was White's first of six losses at this stage!"! - Enjoy your vacation! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:04, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Question about WWE roster

Hello, Lee. How are you? I hoper you're fine. Sorry to disturb you. Looks like we have a few "problem" with the WWE roster and Jacob Fatu. Maybe you can give us your 2 cents. It's an issue we have time to time. Reliable sources report a wrestler signing with WWE, but people remove it since WWE didn't comfirm the contact, which I think is a conflict between a non independent company and independent sources. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Have you got a link to the discussion so I can take a look? Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 13:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Ok, I found the discussion. Best to have discussion in one location. Quick reminder that Edit Warring goes both ways. Even if the info is sourced, WP:BRD should be the way to solve it. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 13:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Hey

Just a quick note to say hello. Lovely to see how you've made Wikipedia your own place! If you have any article reviews for WikiCup or similar, let me know, I have a bit of spare time, not masses, but more than happy to get stuck in with the people I trust. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 22:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Great to see you about. My time has been limited, so my dirge of content you've seen in the past just isn't there. I do have an FAC 2023 World Snooker Championship if you do get a little bit of a chance.
I'm just in the cup for fun this year, I don't have the inclination to go after it! I hope you are enjoying life. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 09:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
