Awesome, while your on a role 51st Newfoundland and Labrador general election and Newfoundland and Labrador Alliance are terrible too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NL19931993 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Possible help?--NL19931993 (talk) 03:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

I found that, in at least two of the four articles above, that you @NL19931993: added the bare URLs as references. Not cool. That's making work for somebody else, namely me. If you're adding references, please fill them out better - it's not difficult, especially when the article/website is in front of you.

I have now taken care of the 51st NL Election article, leaving the NL Alliance article to be completed. PKT(alk) 18:48, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello PKT,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

• There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
• A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
• A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
• A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Review of Ellwood Walter (businessman)

Thank you for reviewing my page Ellwood Walter (businessman). I was wondering if you could review a similar page at: Draft of Elwood Walter, No. 7. It is in draft mode and needs to be reviewed. The Elwood Walter was a notable Sandy Hook pilot boat that was made for the N. Y Pilots. I have made the following additional changes and waiting for someone to review it again:

Changes made to Elwood Walter, No. 7

1. Citation for The New York Times Memorandum
2. Citation for New York Morning Courier
3. Secondary source from Charles Edward Russell
4. Citation for Shipbuilding and the Nascent Community of Greenpoint
5. Citation for Ellwood Walter, No. 7, taking off the crew
6. Added image of Elwood Walter, No. 7
7. Added references to other wikipedia pilot boats, eg. George W. Blunt, No. 11
8. Belongs to category:Sandy Hook pilot boats
9. Elwood Walter, No. 7 was named after Ellwood Walter (businessman)

GOCE March newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2020 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Election results: There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a coordinator emeritus while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator. The next election is scheduled for June 2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the Requests page and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August 2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a record low of 323 articles in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. February Blitz: Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are here. March Drive: Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November 2019. As of 18 March, the backlog stands at a record low of 253 articles and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now! Progress report: As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog – a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Museums

Thank you for your help with List of museums in Ottawa. I've begun to add references. Is using the museums website a good reference? Can you take a look at what I've done so far if you have a second? Thanks again! Gizapink (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

@Gizapink: Yes, I believe using a museum's site is a good reference for the purposes of the list. A purist might tell you that an independent 3rd party reference is better, but ya gotta start somewhere! Regards, PKT(alk) 15:32, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

As for the work you've done so far, it's better to not use just a "bare URL" but to use the cite web template. In your editing window, at the top you'll see "> Cite" - if you click on that, another line will appear with "Templates v" and cite web is in the dropdown menu. Please give the reference a title (the name of the museum is enough) and its URL, of course.....PKT(alk) 15:37, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Demographics in electoral districts ("Most of")

Some of the electoral district articles contain some statement in the demographic section (or the lead if it doesn't have one) saying that it has the most of a certain demographic, then cites census data for that district but no proof that it actually has the most (Ex. 1,2,3). Are there any reliable sources that could prove any of these statements or should they be removed? Username⁶⁸⁹² 18:54, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Username6892: - in my experience, this is a bit of a good news, bad news answer. Good news: StatsCan census data is definitely a reliable source for Ethnic data for Federal ridings. Bad news: Statscan data doesn't seem to add up very easily....I find it best to put the data into a little spreadsheet and plug it to get it to balance before entering numerical data into Wikipedia articles. If I were inclined to update the Ethnicity data for Markham--Thornhill, for example, I would get the data from here and massage it to come up with data to update the article with.

In short, Statscan data is definitely reliable to support statements that a certain demographic is prevalent in a Federal riding, but it's not as nice and clean-cut as I would like it to be. Cheers, PKT(alk) 19:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Also, in this article, the map appears to be incorrect. Do you know the source file for it? Username⁶⁸⁹² 00:09, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@Username6892: Disclaimer: I'm not much of a maps or images guy - other editors know a lot more about this stuff than I do. Answer to your question: No, I don't. You can get more info by clicking on the map you're interested in, then clicking on the blue "More details" button in the bottom right of the image. That should get you to a page titled "File:(name of file)", and when you scan down you might find what you're asking about. BTW there are 3 maps in that article, but that's another story, I suppose :) PKT(alk) 00:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

"The Census of 1931 also listed Kayasthas as one of the upper castes." Dinopce (talk) 13:37, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Dinopce: - whatever information you were trying to convey should be added to either the article you're referring to, or its talk page. Not on my talk page. My edits were merely general maintenance, intended to either fix issues such as ambiguous links, or to bring attention to issues in the article that I couldn't fix but should be fixed by others. I am not interested in India's caste system. Have a good day! PKT(alk) 13:44, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok.Sir. No problem! Understood your point. I'm new here. So,I don't know too many things.

PKT, I am truly sorry about this. I will undo anything that I can, and undo untrue data that I have written. I just changed it now and I will not touch it again until they release the new population if they ever do. I will verify that the new population is correct with you if they ever do new population in 2020. Again i'm truly sorry and I will come and verify with you if I ever do any edits again if you want me to. You have been doing it a lot longer then I have.

Thank you!

Drive and blitz reports March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit.

May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020. Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report.

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello PKT,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

• A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
• Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
• A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
• Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Natalie MacMaster

I'm not claiming to have any particularly deep knowledge about her beyond having heard some of her music on the radio, but she was already categorized in both Category:20th-century Canadian singers and Category:21st-century Canadian singers. Those categories were added by "Fishhead2100" three years ago, and I just don't have enough knowledge about her career to have questioned tha. If you dispute it, I have no objections, but I just wanted to clarify that the only reason I added her to the "women singers" category is that she was already in other singers categories.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello PKT,

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.
