New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Megalibrarygirl/Archives/2020,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

A barnstar for you!

I jut saw the three articles on suffrage in Hawai'i and a) couldn't believe they weren't there before and b) so impressed with the resource! Amazing and inspirational work! Lajmmoore (talk) 21:02, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Lajmmoore! It all started with writing Women's suffrage in Texas and I'm working my way through all the states! Next one: Arizona! :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Mahalo for those articles. I added a few things here and there and nominated one for DYK. Would you considered creating an article for Almira Hollander Pitman. She is the daughter-in-law of Kinoʻoleoliliha. Here is her obituary. Also would you happen to know how missionary wives Mary Elizabeth Parker (1805-1897) and Mary Tenney Castle (1819-1907) were considered early suffragists as well conveyed here. KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:23, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
KAVEBEAR Thank you so much for adding more information! I'll look into the women you mentioned. I wonder if Parker and Castle were involved in the WCTU? That group advocated for suffrage early on in Hawaii, but I only found mentions about the info. I'll look into Pitman. I hadn't realized I'd linked the wrong woman! (eep!!!!) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Could you take a look at [1] and see if you agree with the rationale for removal? ☆ Bri (talk) 18:48, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Bri, the list says "Additions to the list need to reference a recognized, documented source and specifically name the tribal affiliation according to federal and state lists." It doesn't say that the artist has to be notable yet. But I can also see Netherzone's POV in removing so that the list consists of only notable artists on Wikipedia. It looks like she's WP:TOOSOON. It might be good to specify "notable artists" in the lead in order to reduce conflict. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:12, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into
a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania,
and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury
for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the
River
was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old
Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it
in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

Hello Megalibrarygirl:


Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels?

Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters.

Article Creation

Hello! I see you're a member of the WikiProject Cannabis and I was wondering if you would you be able to help out with the creation of Poke A Bowl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Poke_A_Bowl). I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. 67.76.114.156 (talk) 18:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Right now I'm pretty deep into working on Women's suffrage in the United States. You may want to check with Bri or Another Believer and see if they're free. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:10, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

@Megalibrarygirl: No worries! I appreciate your response. Happy New Year! 67.76.114.156 (talk) 20:55, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

List of Public Health Officials

Hi. I'm contacting you as the creator of the Women in Red > Redlist (Medicine) page. State and local health officials are at the center of the Covid-19 response and management. They have been targeted, harassed, and threatened.[1] Of these officials, more than 60% are women.[2]This list was compiled from news articles as well as the Directory from the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. May I add it as a sublist to the Women in Red/Medicine#Public_Health? Happy New Year! Ahsoka Dillard (talk) 20:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Ahsoka Dillard, absolutely! Please feel free to add any redlinks to the Crowd-sourced list anytime. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
