Ohio Wikimedians User Group - Invitation

Hi Bhockey10,

I'm Kevin, one of the founding members of the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Created in July 2016, we're working to be a central group of Ohio Wikimedians who organize and support offline events, promote the Wikimedia movement in Ohio, build connections throughout our state, and above all, support each other. We already have a handful of members and have worked to support multiple events, including Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States and several Art+Feminism edit-a-thons at universities throughout Ohio.

I wanted to reach out to you and invite you to join the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Being a part of the user group will allow easy communication between active Ohio editors, notificatio ns of upcoming events in the Ohio area, and, if you're interested, the opportunity to help organize events such as edit-a-thons or workshops. Some notes:

All members receive a monthly newsletter with recent happenings, upcoming events, and more. Check out our April newsletter here.
This Thursday at 8:30 EST, we're having our first online meeting. Check out our meeting page here for more details, an agenda, and a section to sign up if you'd like to join us. Topics will include introductions and brainstorming for future projects.

Right now we have a Wikipedia Takes Columbus photo event going on, a Wiknic coming up this summer, and opportunities to attend the upcoming Ohio Private Academic Libraries Conference. If you're interested in joining us, feel free to add your name here - and feel free to reach out to me (or post on the user group's talk page) with questions or discussions. Thanks! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 07:33, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer granted

Hello Bhockey10. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex Shih ^Talk 08:54, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA Division I women's lacrosse map

I noticed you created the map of NCAA Division I women's lacrosse schools that's currently on the college lacrosse page and posted at the WM Commons. Since it hasn't been updated since you uploaded it to the Commons back in 2011 (for the 2012 season), you should know about changes that need to be made for the upcoming 2018 season. Here's the current conference lineup in women's lacrosse for the 2018 season.

Conferences that did not sponsor varsity women's lacrosse at the Division I level in 2012 are in bold.

Programs that did not play at the varsity level in 2012 are in bold as well.

Programs that played in 2012, but have since changed conferences, are in plain italics—but only if they now play in leagues that had women's lacrosse in 2012.

Note also that the American Lacrosse Conference and National Lacrosse Conference no longer exist.

ACC
- Boston College, Duke, Louisville, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech
America East
- Albany, Binghamton, Hartford, New Hampshire, Stony Brook, UMass Lowell, UMBC, Vermont
Atlantic Sun (entered lacrosse alliance with the Southern Conference in 2013, with the ASUN sponsoring the women's sport and the SoCon the men's sport)
- Central Michigan, Coastal Carolina, Delaware State, Detroit, Furman, Howard, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Mercer, Old Dominion, Stetson, Wofford
  - Kent State will launch varsity women's lacrosse in the 2019 season as a single-sport ASUN member.
Atlantic 10
- Davidson, Duquesne, George Mason, George Washington, La Salle, Richmond, St. Bonaventure, Saint Joseph's, UMass, VCU
Big East
- Butler, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Denver, Florida, Georgetown, Marquette, Temple, Vanderbilt, Villanova
  - Cincinnati and Connecticut remained in the new non-football Big East for women's lacrosse after the 2013 conference split. The Big East and American Athletic Conference agreed that only the "new" Big East would sponsor women's lacrosse.
Big South
- Campbell, Gardner–Webb, High Point, Liberty, Longwood, Presbyterian, Radford, Winthrop
Big Ten
- Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers

Think you're up to the change? :) — Dale Arnett (talk) 07:59, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dale, thanks for the details. I've generally kept up with the College Lax updates mostly on the men's side but must have missed the women's map. I can certainly work on getting it ready for the 2017 Lax season. As you may know, it's one of the fastest growing sports in the US so there's often lots of changes season to season. Bhockey10 (talk) 21:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. :) Another FYI: The Atlantic Sun began branding itself as the "ASUN Conference" in 2016–17. Although the legal name, AFAIK, remains "Atlantic Sun", the conference exclusively uses "ASUN" throughout its website and social media platforms. — Dale Arnett (talk) 07:29, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA Division II men's lacrosse map

Have some more changes in the lacrosse maps for you. These involve D-II men's lacrosse. Specifically, the Great Lakes Valley Conference will start sponsoring men's lacrosse in 2017–18, with the following schools:

Full GLVC members: Indianapolis, Maryville
Affiliates: Alabama–Huntsville, Montevallo, Shorter, Young Harris
Rockhurst, a full GLVC member, will remain in RMAC men's lacrosse until the 2018–19 school year. (I presume this is for contractual reasons.)

Also, in an unrelated change, Alderson Broaddus got rid of the hyphen in its name a few years back.

Rock on... :) — Dale Arnett (talk) 11:24, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA Division I women's lacrosse map: Further updates

Turns out that I didn't have the complete list of changes for the 2018 D-I women's lacrosse season... since the Southern Conference has now added the sport, and will hold its first season in 2018 (i.e., this coming spring).

The ASUN will lose five members to the new SoCon league: full SoCon members Furman and Mercer, plus associates Central Michigan, Delaware State, and Detroit. These teams will be joined by Wofford, a full SoCon member that begins varsity play this season. Note that Kent State remains committed to joining ASUN women's lacrosse in 2019, despite its fellow Mid-American Conference member Central Michigan moving its women's lacrosse team to the SoCon.

I've now confirmed that East Carolina will play this season as an independent. After that, however...

...the American Athletic Conference (full-time home to ECU) will begin sponsoring women's lacrosse in the 2019 season. Full conference members Cincinnati, Connecticut, ECU, and Temple will be joined by current Big East associates Florida and Vanderbilt. To put it another way, the Big East will lose all of its women's lacrosse associates except Denver.

Figured you'd want to be kept up on the situation... — Dale Arnett (talk) 05:20, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dale, sorry for the delayed RE, work/real life was really busy in the fall and holiday season. I have some time here in the next few weeks and should be able to work through the updates and changes. Lots to do with the continued rapid growth of lacrosse but very exciting for the sport.

Warner University

Hi Bhockey10 -

Can you help with deleting WU's old logos that are currently on their page, and uploading the revised?

The two old logos are in the Infobox template on the right side of their page.

We're not sure how to delete / re-upload.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Bhockey10,

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.

Gregorio Cortez

Hey Bhockey10.

On the page of Gregorio Cortez, I have cited Americo Paredes serveral times and have put in all needed citations in every paragragh. Could you please explain as to how I need to cite more, or provide a more reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chr66 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chr66:, I took a more detailed look and you did add a couple citations so I rv'd to your latest version before adding a cleanup tag. In particular the "pop culture" section needs a lot more citations and sources. Much of your additions were large content blocks with little or no in-line citations/references, it would be helpful for future additions to use citations and references more generously (please review WP:CITE and WP:RS). Although Gregorio Cortez is deceased, it would be helpful for you to review WP:BLP because editors should take extra precautions when working on Biographical articles.--Bhockey10 (talk) 18:42, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And on the issues here... As you point out, Cortez is long dead, so WP:BLP doesn't apply. We will be working in improving the citations. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 00:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BLP does not directly apply, as I already noted but still helpful for review as there is much cross-over between BLPs and other biographical articles. Especially for citations and references. --Bhockey10 (talk) 00:27, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bhockey10. Let me jump in here. Gregorio Cortez is an article that my students are editing for a class assignment, as should be clear from the talk page. We would all be very pleased if you were keen on constructively working with them on this project. I'm not sure that large-scale deletions of work in progress helps much. Perhaps you could comment further on the article talk page? Thanks! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 00:04, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jbmurray:, no worries, I will take this over to Talk:Gregorio Cortez for further discussion. The deletion was not in poor spirit, only that of bold per WP:CYCLE. Since you rv'd per Cycle, it is worthy of discussion on the talk page to open up to more editors. A brief summary of my explanation is found below in RE to Pechodor13. In short: the "Background" section was devoid of any mention of the biographical subject and also covered in separate articles such as History of the Texas Ranger Division. As an admin/experienced editor, you should know that WP:NOTESSAY and the current version of the article is largely structured in academic essay format. For an encyclopedia article, such as massive background section is unneeded and against WP:MOSBIO guidelines as well as WP:BIODD.Bhockey10 (talk) 00:27, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gregorio Cortez Background Section

hi @Bhockey10.

The Background section is important about the life of gregorio cortez. Gregorio cortez is not a mere individual but a whole legend exists around his person. Therefore, if a person want to understand why Gregorio Cortez has to flee and was unfairly convicted, the whole context that surrounds its life is crucial. Cortez confronted Rangers and the legend is about this confrontation because of the logn standing diffcult relationships between the two communities, as well as racism and the whole transformation of the region. I agree with you that it does not concern Cortez Per Se, but such information are necessary to understand why cortez acted as he did. What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pechodor13 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pechodor13:, No, it is un-necessary and largely duplicate info to that found via WP:WikiLinks. The background section in particular is focused on ancillary subjects and far too much detail into the history of Texas-Mexico relations, history of the Texas Rangers, etc… a small bit of that could be recapped in the “Early Life” section to help establish the era, but a full historically review years before the life Gregorio Cortez is entirely outside the scope of this particular article. Please review, WP:BIOGRAPHY, WP:MOSBIO and WP:BIODD for more info on how biographical articles should be formatted and what info to include. Essentially it breaks down to a chronologically organized article on the biographical subject. For more influential people, a legacy, in pop culture, or other similar section postmortem impact is appropriate.Bhockey10 (talk) 00:27, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hockey

I was originally planning on putting together the NAIA but the only information I can find for it is about the tournament. Many of the teams that did compete in the NAIA are not NCAA and they make no distinction about which organization they played under and for what years. Bemidji State is about the only one I can find that states when it joined and when it left but as they are one of the few that's now at the Division I level, that's a rare occurrence. I would put it together if I could get the information but at the moment I can only guess as to how the NAIA was comprised.

As far as Michigan-Dearborn goes, unless I'm mistaken, they specifically remained in the NAIA despite all other teams leaving between 1982 and 1984 and continued as an NAIA team until 1990 when they abandoned any chance of recruiting other programs to join them. I wanted to include them on the list of former programs since they were a varsity team, but I forgot about the Wolverine-Hoosier conference. PensRule11385 (talk) 21:36, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, The tournament was small too, I tried finding more information awhile back on more of the general NAIA hockey field but there's not much actual data out there. It appears that 90% of those schools transitioned to NCAA D3 and D2 once the NCAA created those levels, and especially the D3 hockey championship. Sadly, it seems like most of the statistics outside of the NAIA tournament are lost to time for the original NAIA Hockey era. Dearborn may very well be the only team that continued operating since the original NAIA era without moving to NCAA or folding. --Bhockey10 (talk) 17:09, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Bhockey10,

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.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Bhockey10,

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.

Rank	Username	Num reviews	Log
1	DannyS712 bot III (talk)	67,552	Patrol Page Curation
2	Rosguill (talk)	63,821	Patrol Page Curation
3	John B123 (talk)	21,697	Patrol Page Curation
4	Onel5969 (talk)	19,879	Patrol Page Curation
5	JTtheOG (talk)	12,901	Patrol Page Curation
6	Mcampany (talk)	9,103	Patrol Page Curation

9	Hughesdarren (talk)	4,520	Patrol Page Curation
10	Utopes (talk)	3,958	Patrol Page Curation

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.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

Hello Bhockey10,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

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 or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Proposed deletion of File:WayneStateWarriorslogo.png

The file File:WayneStateWarriorslogo.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused image. I think this is too complex for PD-textlogo.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --TheImaCow (talk) 08:32, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

Hello Bhockey10,

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 812 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 846 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.

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

Hello Bhockey10,

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^[a] 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.^[b]

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: 14123 articles, as of 20:00, 14 December 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. 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.

^ not including another ~6,000 redirects
^ The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

Hello Bhockey10,

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.

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello Bhockey10,

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.

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!

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah^Talk 04:26, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Bhockey10,

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.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Bhockey10,

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Bhockey10,

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.

Proposed deletion of St. Louis Metro Collegiate Baseball League

The article St. Louis Metro Collegiate Baseball League has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NSPORT.

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. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:44, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Bhockey10,

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:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
