Orphaned non-free image File:BC Ecosocialists logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:BC Ecosocialists logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:26, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Date format

Hello there! For articles about non-English speaking nations or cultures, please do not randomly and unilaterally switch mdy date format to dmy format just because you like it better. As per MOS:DATERET, the Manual of Style clearly states: "If an article has evolved using predominantly one date format, this format should be used throughout the article, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic or consensus on the article's talk page." I have seen you change entire pages over using a script, most recently for Japanese Red Army. Japan is a non-English speaking nation, so the "strong national ties" exception does not apply. Thanks. --Ash-Gaar (talk) 05:20, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Similarly, see MOS:STYLERET: "enforcing optional style in a bot-like fashion without prior consensus is never acceptable." --Ash-Gaar (talk) 05:23, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Socialist Party of Ukraine

Hi there. You seem to be the only other active editor of the Socialist Party of Ukraine and I was wondering if you wanted to sort of partner-up? I've been trying to rework the entire page in my sandbox but I'm a slow worker and I get distracted really easily (friends claim I have ADHD, I don't know), so help would be great :) Sisuvia (talk) 14:51, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

@Sisuvia: I am pretty busy this month and I only have time to make small edits to Wikipedia. I would love to help you out, but unfortunately I will likely be unable to contribute to such a project until the end of the month. CentreLeftRight ✉ 18:21, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

False quote?

Hi this edit [1] inserts a quote "modern tankies" but I can't find the quote in the source, is this an error? I also noticed that this edit removed 'many' which led it to mischaracterize the source, I assume that this was also an error? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:26, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

I used quotation marks because "tankie" is a label / term (like how it is in quotation marks elsewhere in the article) and not because I was directly quoting from the source. The removal of "many" was an editing oversight by me (you're right, it doesn't mean the same thing!). All the best, CentreLeftRight ✉ 20:20, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure why there are quotation marks around Tankie elsewhere in the article, there shouldn't be. Will correct. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 12:38, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Slang terms and informal labels are often written in quotation marks in academic writing, but there is no such guideline at MOS:QUOTEMARKS or elsewhere (as far as I can tell). CentreLeftRight ✉ 18:36, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

We seem to reserve quotation marks for quotations and select use cases like plant names, see WP:SCAREQUOTES "Misused punctuation can also have similar effects. Quotation marks, when not marking an actual quotation, may be interpreted as "scare quotes", indicating that the writer is distancing themselves from the otherwise common interpretation of the quoted expression."

Speedy deletion declined: GCD matrix

Hello CentreLeftRight. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of GCD matrix, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Professor Google tells me that there really is a thing called Greatest common divisor matrix, so this would appear to avoid outright WP:A1 and WP:A3 - move to Draft:Greatest common divisor matrix ? That said, while they are both popular with a lot of people, I'm terrified of both mathematics and hot sauce , so I might not a completely objective opinion here. Thank you.

Cambodian People's Party lead

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I made this edit, in order to reduce reader confusion. In the old version, the internal links to Chinese and Communist Party of Kampuchea were right next to each other, leading a reader to believe that there was only one link there. Also, in the old phrasing, the reader may be confused into reading the sentence as "in contrast to the pro-'Chinese Communist Party of Kampuchea' led by Pol Pot."

Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew Lokenauth

Hello @CentreLeftRight, I have improved and fixed the article on Andrew Lokenauth. I made edits and additions. I updated the article to mention Andrew Lokenauth was a writer on Bitcoin Heist (2016) and Crypto (2019) and speaker at the Florida Bitcoin and Blockchain Summit. I referred to similar Wikipedia pages I have edited (of other educators I also follow on social media) as examples, Dave Ramsey, Tori Dunlap, Kevin Paffrath, etc. I will make edits and editions for improve and fix the article, and use better sources for Andrew Lokenauth that I find on Google. I want to cite the article correctly. Previous articles I submitted didn't have enough sources and were not published.

In the past I have created articles of other educators I follow on Social Media. The previous articles I submitted on other educators I follow on social media were not published (Saifedean Ammous, Glauber Contessoto, etc). Should it be converted to a stub?

How can I be a better editor? What do you recommend? I am still learning to use Wikipedia (other Wikipedians have left advice on my talk page. I noticed some were Extended confirmed users. How can I become one?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZackAshley (talk • contribs) 01:14, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Before spending the time and energy to create a new article or draft, you should check to see if your subject is notable under the criteria listed at Wikipedia:Notability (people). Your primary task then is to prove through reliable secondary sources that your subject fits those criteria.

Extended confirmed status is automatically given to users after they make several dozen constructive edits. Permissions can be requested or automatically given, but usually requests will be denied without lengthy experience on the site (I myself did not get my permissions until a few years after I started editing). CentreLeftRight ✉ 01:30, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice @CentreLeftRight. I believe the subject is notable under the criteria listed at Wikipedia:Notability (people). I believe I have enough reliable secondary sources.

How would one go about requesting permissions? Thanks for your assistance. ZackAshley (talk) 17:32, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

@ZackAshley: There is a list of permissions that can be requested at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, but as a new account with few edits, your requests will almost certainly be denied (for now). If you think your article has been fixed up enough, you can resubmit it for a draft review by another editor with the appropriate credentials. The reviewer will likely give you more feedback if the draft is rejected. All the best, CentreLeftRight ✉ 00:31, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Revert

Sorry if that was a mistake. I saw the addition of national emblem this and that. Status Quo was more or less my intent. If that was not what that change was about thanks for correcting my error. Unbroken Chain (talk) 22:41, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Kugluktuk

I just noticed this. If you look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Strong national ties to a topic and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Retaining existing format. It says that "Articles related to Canada may use either format with (as always) consistency within each article. (see Retaining existing format)" and in the case of Kugluktuk it was originally is the day month year format so should stay that way. Cheers.

May Calamawy

Hi @CentreLeftRight: - I noticed your addition of a hidden comment in May Calamawy's lede sentence in regards to her identity in the sources.[2] I've started discussion on her talk page because the sources vary, with one source even describing herself as solely "Egyptian".

North korea communist description situation

Hey there! Regarding North korea, we have a note describing their unique communist system and party on every page that relating to a communist or socialist political party or state or system, we are missing the note for it on the Communist state wikipage, it is protected so I can't add it. Would you please add it or consider adding it, with variations of course, but it gives an outline on why we can consider North korea a communist state. I believe the uniqueness is worth mentioning here. Here is the hapnote we have been using: () 2603:7000:3B40:B500:991C:6BD6:EA74:A25 (talk) 04:27, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

 Not done because that note is a misunderstanding of what Juche and communism are. A party does not have to be Marxist-Leninist to be communist, and following Juche does not entail an abandonment of communism. CentreLeftRight ✉ 07:13, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello Yue,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 811 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 861 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Why did you just revert my edit?

Excuse me, why did you revert my edit to Israel-North Korea relations? I don't think the countries are hostile with each other just because they lack relations, but they are tense. Please let me get that edit back! 2600:8800:508E:9400:98A7:7C38:C706:BB99 (talk) 23:59, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Given this comment is your first edit to Wikipedia, I am going to assume that you are the same person who made this edit. "Tense" is an understatement when each country denounces the existence of the other and North Korea has armed and funded militant groups in Israel while repeatedly threatening the country on state television. CentreLeftRight ✉ 01:40, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't understand how that can be an understatement. If there's no other way to describe it and you're sure they really are hostile, I guess I'll never be right. I, in that case, may just end up not editing at all unless I'm angry. 2600:8800:508E:9400:98A7:7C38:C706:BB99 (talk) 06:12, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of New Generation Communist Party of Azerbaijan

The article New Generation Communist Party of Azerbaijan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No claim of significance. A quick Google search only returns ~2,000 results in English and Azerbaijani, and most are blogs, wikis, and mirrors of Wikipedia. No news coverage aside from the one citation provided covering its founding in 2008.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, CLR

Anyways, I'm kinda new. Mostly terms and conditions the entire recommendations but read the rules. Anyways can you give me your two cents on how I can improve. And also how good am I at editing wikipedia right now, just curious.

Good day or night Randomdudewithinternet (talk) 02:06, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

@Randomdudewithinternet: Your contributions to Wikipedia are welcomed and appreciated. Like everything else in life, your editing will improve with time, although your edits are already problem-free for the most part. You will gradually become more accustomed to the general rules of formal writing and the guidelines of Wikipedia; there is no rush to have an immediate grasp of them. You can learn from reading WP:MOS pages if you really want to, or you can (do what I did over the years and) just learn by reading other editors' contributions, "Good articles" you're interested in on Wikipedia, and comments left for you by more experienced editors. All the best, CentreLeftRight ✉ 02:44, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, however despite summer coming up, and me having basically all the time to myself. I will not and refuse to read WP:MOS, it's simply too long and I've better things to read and do. Anyways I got thanked by somebody with like 1000+ edits so (*ω*)b. Anyways basically nobody leaves me any comments on my talk page. And also how do I make a complex user profile like a wiki page instead of it just being a blob of text. Anyways Good day or Night --Randomdudewithinternet (talk) 03:23, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

New Page Review queue June 2022

Hello Yue,

Backlog status

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

Backlog drive

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.

TIP – New school articles

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

Misc

There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 14938 articles, as of 06:00, 27 April 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
• If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello Yue,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination

MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

Open letter to the WMF

The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

TIP - Reviewing by subject

Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

New reviewers

The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Small change to Sophie Chang article

Hi Yue, thanks for implementing my edit request at Sophie Chang (philanthropist)! I noticed that there is one small inaccuracy in the previous text, and was hoping you might be willing to fix it:

In the first line of the "Philanthropy" section: She became the president of the TSMC Volunteer Society since 2009 in 2004.

Thanks again for your help! Albee at TSMC (talk)

Sophie Chang- Chinese updates

Hi Yue, thanks for your help with the Sophie Chang (philanthropist) updates. I noticed that the Chinese article is very brief and outdated and would like to update it as well, perhaps by translating the English article as most of the sources are from Chinese press. What do you think of the idea? Would you be able to help make those changes? Thanks again for your help, Albee at TSMC (talk) 02:37, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Albee at TSMC: Unfortunately I do not have the same editing privileges and permissions on the Chinese Wikipedia as I do on the English one, so you might have to seek further assistance from someone else there. I am getting quite busy soon with my real-life responsibilities as well, and will not have the time to assist in such a project. As long as you follow the guidelines on the Chinese Wikipedia, you should be fine. Good luck and all the best! Yue🌙 04:48, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Name

How come your Chinese name and your Korean name are different? 2001:8003:9007:8201:472:4992:F1C:C5BD (talk) 05:09, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Because of my parents' judgement, which I agree with: 이월문 is a weird Korean name. Its the same reason why I chose a Western-sounding English name for myself when I moved to Canada, if that comparison helps. Yue🌙 07:41, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Wow, that's cool. I guess you are half-Chinese half-Korean. I have a friend who is half-Chinese and half-Japanese. 2001:8003:9007:8201:472:4992:F1C:C5BD (talk) 08:11, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

The best part is multilingualism because you can speak to more people and read more books. Yue🌙 08:14, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Yes, multilingualism also widens your world view. 2001:8003:9007:8201:472:4992:F1C:C5BD (talk) 08:20, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

I definitely agree! Yue🌙 08:35, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello Yue,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022

Suggestions:

• There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
• Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
• Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
• This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Reminders

• Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
• If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
• Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

My deleted change

Well, I changed something which was 1000% incorrect and a disgrace even [sic] to Wikipedia. Ah, well. 89.240.248.160 (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Mureungdowon

Hi.

I'm looking to connect Mureungdowon and Storm598 as possible sockpuppets. Based on your comment on Mureungdowon's talk page, I looked at Kkm010, but that editor and their socks seem more focused on India and former British Empire countries, while Mureungdowon and Storm598 are focused on Korea (which is where I believe they are based), Japan and the US. Do you have any other thoughts as to who the sockmaster could be? Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:00, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: 삭은사과 is the oldest account I am aware of. Every time they run into an issue (any escalated discussion) they just jump ship and stop using the account. Same focus on Korea, Japan, and conservative liberalism / conservative liberal parties. Not sure if it's abusive sockpuppetry in this case, just odd. Yue🌙 00:42, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll look into it when I have a little more time. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:43, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Yue,

New Page Review queue December 2022

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
