I think you made a mistake. I removed content on Grand Council of Bern, but adequately explained the reason. The last election was held in 2018, and the current composition is explained in the infobox on the top right corner.

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Hi,

I recently deleted the content of the Edelman Fossil Park Wikipedia page. I know this seems like a mistake, but my employer requested I remove the content so that it can be reviewed and edited offline before resubmitting. Is this okay? I'm not sure if there is another way to keep the content but turn off the page from the public until it is ready to go live?

Hello! I've been an active reader and IP editor for many years, and a few months ago I decided to create an account, something I should have done long ago.

Thank you,Telefocus (talk) 21:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Telefocus, Hello , thank you for your message and welcome to Wikipedia. I regret to inform you that I am not able to take you through CVUA as my student for the following reasons:

1. You have not reached the minimum threshold of 200 mainspace edits
2. Looking through your edits, your not involved in antivandalism work
3. Youve some behavioural notices on your talk page which aren't solved yet
4. Most, if not all of your edits are to your talkpage or Wikipedia namespace.

Cheers Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 07:05, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Synoman Barris, I understand, I could have sworn the whole point of the Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy was to learn to spot and counter vandalism, which is why I am asking to be a student, so I can learn. I also read the page and it does not appear there are requirements to become a student of the CVU. Telefocus (talk) 16:04, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello,

I have made some edits voluntary to the page of Leart Paqarada but i received an notification that you removed all the changes.

I actually have changed his stats by updating them on the actual season. I just want to let you know that all the informations i put in the change are verified and you can find them in the official page of the Club and also on https://www.transfermarkt.de/. So, i think you have made a mistake.

Hello Synoman Barris,

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.

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

Happy First Edit Day, Synoman Barris, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 08:07, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello Synoman Barris,

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: 14064 articles, as of 16:00, 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.
• To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Notes

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

Thank you for your interest in the account creation process, as well as your interest in joining the ACC team as an ACC Tool User. I have reviewed and discussed your application with other ACC Tool Administrators, confirmed that you meet the required minimum qualifications for prospective new ACC Tool User candidates, and verified that you have signed the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. Given your application, as well as the level of experience and perceived trust that you've accumulated on Wikipedia, I have approved your ACC Tool User request and activated your ACC Tool User account.

• You may now access the ACC Tool User interface by clicking here. Before you begin handling any new ACC requests, please ensure that you have completely read though, reviewed, understood, and familiarized yourself with the ACC Tool Users' Guidelines, as well as Wikipedia's username policy.

• Please subscribe yourself to the ACC Tool User private mailing list by clicking here and following the instructions on that page. Having an active subscription to this mailing list with an email address of yours is required in order to maintain an active ACC Tool User account. If this is not completed in a timely manner, your ACC Tool User account will be temporarily suspended until you complete this process, so please be diligent in getting subscribed. I've already done this for you. See the email that I sent you for more information. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:40, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

• I also advise and encourage you join us on IRC - instructions for how to join can be found here. The ACC team has a private channel, #wikipedia-en-accounts ^connect, that is restricted to active ACC Tool Users and ACC Tool Administrators only. In this channel, a bot automatically informs us as soon as a new account request is submitted to the ACC new request queue, and you can get real-time information, help, and advice from other ACC Tool Users and ACC Tool Administrators on policies and procedures, and how to properly handle certain requests there. Although joining us and participating with us on IRC is advised and highly encouraged, it is not required and you are not obligated to do so.

• With your ACC Tool User account, you are (by default) only allowed to create up to six Wikipedia accounts per day (every 24 hours), and you won't be able to create an account if it is found to be similar to the username of another Wikipedia account. ACC account requests for usernames that are similar to other Wikipedia account usernames are placed into the "Flagged user needed" queue on the ACC Tool User interface. Only users who have the account creator user right (and hence are allowed to create accounts with similar usernames, as well as create an unlimited number of new accounts per day) should handle requests that are in this queue. After a few months of demonstrating experience and consistency with following all ACC Tool User processes and procedures (at least a minimum of three months of tenure and 50+ handled requests are expected), if you find yourself reaching the limit of six new accounts per day frequently, and find yourself without new requests that you can handle frequently (by not being usernames that are similar to others), you can request having the account creator user right granted to your account by filing a new request here.

• Please note that the account creation process is not a race, and each new account request must be handled diligently, accurately, thoroughly, with care, and within compliance of the ACC Tool Users' Guidelines. Failure to correctly assess ACC account requests will result in corrective action up to and including suspension of your tool access and your ACC Tool User account. Releasing any kind of personally identifiable information (such as a user's IP address, email addresses, or other non-public information), whether intentionally or unintentionally, is treated as an extremely serious violation of the ACC Tool User policy, as well as your compliance with the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information that you signed with the Wikimedia Foundation, and will usually result in immediate suspension of your ACC Tool User account.

• The consistent and full compliance with the ACC Tool Users' Guidelines, Wikipedia's username policy, and the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (including all policies and procedures outlined within those pages), the correct and accurate handling and closure of new ACC account requests, and the strict compliance with the non-disclosure of any and all non-public information that you'll have access to within the ACC Tool User interface is expected at all times, and is a condition of your ACC Tool User account's standing and your membership with the ACC Tool User team.

Now that all of the mandatory warnings, explanations, and rules have been disclosed to you, let me end this on a positive note by welcoming you to the ACC team. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions, and I'll be more than happy to answer them and help you. Thanks again for your interest with participating in the account creation process, and I welcome you as a new member of the ACC team! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:38, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to enroll as a trainee under you. In regards to Wikipedia counter vandalism. Uricdivine (talk) 21:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Synoman Barris,

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 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.

For example, these sources give in-depth coverage of the subject: [1], [2], and [3]. Thanks in advance. Insight 3 (talk) 04:59, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

One year. Courtesy pings @AmandaNP and Vermont: -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:00, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

I see that you gave them IPBE for one year with zero reason logged. The original steward ticket does not explain the reason why they still need IPBE at this time so far after expiry. If they would like to email stewards again and ping me, I'd be happy to look. If you also want to email me too, that's fine. I just can't grant for absolutely zero reason. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:54, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

• Lydia Starr (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Lisa B (Lisa Bernstein) ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, I'm responding to your message this evening declining my Draft:Lisa B (Lisa Bernstein). I need some clarification on one thing you wrote. Also, I suspect that because of issues with the initial section of the draft, you overlooked the many solid citations in the subsequent sections of the draft that point to significant, published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject and focus directly on her, not in passing. I believe the problem is that the initial section lacks these, and I ask you to reconsider by more closely reviewing the subsequent draft sections.
The subject is notable because unlike anyone else, she is a popular practicing psychic as well as a well-published and awarded literary poet as well as a much-reviewed jazz singer. These latter two aspects of her professional work are referred to DIRECTLY, not in passing, in the citations in the two sections on her work as a poet and as a singer. All the citations in these two sections are significant, published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. But I think you may have overlooked this because the initial section of the draft about her work as a psychic lacks published material that can be cited and therefore does not have the same quality of citations. But under the section "Books and Publications," citations 9-11 note books authored by the subject that are published or about to be published by prominent literary publishers, including one university press. After this, citations 13-23 refer directly to prestigious literary journals and anthologies that have published the subject's poems. These are not passing references but examples of actual publications. I did not give a full citation for every single publication by listing volume, journal no., etc. (and I could if you recommend it), but these 13 citations are significant examples. The section also includes citation 12 which notes a prominent award from the National Endowment for the Arts in creative writing that was given to the subject. Few other honors are as great in American literature. The next section of the draft on "Jazz and Groove Singer and Spoken-Word Artist" also includes many citations of independent, reliable sources that focus directly on the subject; these verify her notability as a singer/spoken-word artist. Citations 24-40 are reviews that prominently focus on B (Bernstein)'s seven recordings, usually reviewing just her most recent recording but sometimes including recent related releases by others; still, these are direct, not passing, references to the subject, and a review of more than one musical artist at a time is customary in these journals. These include the most important jazz journals in the United States (Jazz Times, All About Jazz, L.A. Jazz Scene, etc.). Citations 41-43 give examples of her widespread radio play. Can you give another look at these two sections of the draft? I believe you will see that they meet the criteria for significant sources verifying the subject's notability as a literary poet and a singer/spoken-word artist, including the uniqueness of being both. As for her notability as a psychic, it's difficult to cite independent sources for this, but it would be inaccurate to leave out of the draft. Would it make more sense to move this section last or de-emphasize it? I agree that the references to workshops given by the subject are unfortunately less substantial, but the nature of this work leans against written references. Finally, I don't understand what you mean by "Too much primary sources." I don't mean to offend you, and I realize you are probably working quickly and using some shorthand, but grammatically "much" goes with a singular noun rather than a plural noun like "sources." Do you mean too much content from one primary source? Or too many different primary sources? Also, I don't know which primary source or sources you're referring to. In any case, I do see that the first section on her work as a psychic lacks the solid and numerous citations of the other sections of the draft. In summary, given what I've written above, I hope you'll see that it is simply not true to say that citations 9-45 at minimum, and a couple of the initial citations, are NOT reliable, independent, secondary sources showing the subject's notability. I believe that they are and you may have been misled by the initial summary section and the section on the subject's psychic practice. Could you reconsider? Or advise me of an editing path to move this forward to acceptance? Thank you so much, LS 

Lydia Starr (talk) 09:46, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, the reason I declined your draft was due to the presence of many primary sources, I would advice you to remove the sources such as Facebook, not use her self written blogs to cite sections. After you've corrected the mistakes with the references I advice you to resubmit the article once again for another reviewer to take a look. Cheers Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 11:39, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Great! Thank you, that's very helpful. Will do. -- LS Lydia Starr (talk) 00:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello Synoman Barris,

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!

Hello Synoman Barris,

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.

Reminders

• Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
• There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• If 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.

Something to be aware of as a global rollbacker involved in ACC: Per Wikipedia:Global rights policy#Global rollbackers, Global rollbackers may use the rollback, suppressredirect, markbotedits, and noratelimit functions on the English Wikipedia only in the context of counter-vandalism efforts. Since normal people are only allowed to create 6 accounts per day, and the only reason you can create more is the global rollbacker flag, per policy you are required to create no more than 6 accounts per day until you get noratelimit some way other than through global rollbacker status (such as by becoming an account creator). * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:04, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Pppery am aware of that policy but thanks for reminding me :). I realised that on 5th May I created one extra account above the normal limit, it was all an error on my part due to my confusion in timezones , however I realised this and stopped. Have a nice day and happy editing. Cheers --Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 19:21, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

You had previously declined it, saying it didn't meet WP:NFILM. Now does it? Kailash29792 (talk) 04:07, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Kailash29792, I reviewed this version of the draft, at that state and from my source search I couldn't confirm that the film had begun principal photography, therefore declined it per NFF. While there is improvement in the current draft (the author has given a source to confirm principal photography has began), it seems to be bombarded with alot of sources many of which are unreliable/or have questionable reliability i.e Times of India. Still needs a cleanup IMO. Cheers Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 07:01, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

The Times of India comes between no consensus and generally unreliable per WP:TOI. But it seems acceptable for non-government purposes as this is a film article. Either way, it shouldn't be an obstacle to getting the article to mainspace. Given that Captain Miller (film) is currently a redlink, I could easily move it. But I prefer to play fair. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:14, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Per this discussion, it should be reliable for non-controversial topics. That should allow its usage here since the film is not controversial (yet). Kailash29792 (talk) 14:18, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

(Edited due to an issue with the original post. Mobile Wikipedia certainly has its bugs. Designated Management (talk) 15:40, 12 May 2023 (UTC))

Hi Megan, I'm unsure why you closed the RM at Chinese Communist Party. My understanding is that the function of the thread is to investigate whether a consensus can be established on moving the page, and that the discussion is to be closed either when one is established or when it becomes clear one cannot be established.

While it is certainly true that a consensus had not been established at the point of your closure, the discussion was still active; the most recent a comment against the move occured at 3AM 12/05 (this morning), and a response was given at 7AM (by me). I'd also note that I'd articulated the case for movi While it is certainly true that a consensus had not been established at the point of your closure, the discussion was still active; the most recent a comment against the move occured at 3AM 12/05 (this morning), and a response was given at 7AM (by me). I'd also note that I'd had some success justfying the move to an editor who previously had not found the move justified. As such, it seems reasonable that a consensus could have been reached in the course of the discussion.

Please let me know if there is anything I am missing regarding policy here, as I am relatively new to editing Wikipedia. However, if I've got the general gist of the procedures right, I'd appreciate it if you could reopen the RM.

Kind regards, Designated Management (talk) 15:37, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, RM are usually open for seven days unless relisted if consensus is not reached. When I read through the RM, it was obvious to me that there was a consensus and it was not to move since valid points were given by the editors opposing that was relevant to policy. I think this is better suited for a WP:MR since am unsure whether to reopen the discussion while I believe it shall lead to the same result. Cheers Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 17:00, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

After reviewing your request for the "accountcreator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:

• The account creator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
• The account creator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the account creator right will result in its removal by an administrator.

If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator right. Happy editing! stwalkerster (talk) 13:02, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi,

I have noticed that my article has been deleted again. Several versions have been created, and with each subsequent one, I have improved the article to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Previously, there was a version of the article with fewer references, but they were of high quality. It was rejected because it did not meet the notability criterion. I created another version that included the previous references and added new references found on the internet. This version was also rejected. As I mentioned before on my profile, this entry is a project for my studies, and I have no affiliation with the company. It is crucial for me to add it to Wikipedia as it will contribute to a higher grade. Please provide specific information on which part of the article needs improvement, which references to remove/add, and any other steps I should take to successfully get this article on Wikipedia.

Have a good day! Felomat972 (talk) 09:00, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Felomat972, please see WP:CORP, the draft has unreliable sources that can not demonstrate notability of the subject. Cheers Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 09:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Synoman Barris,

The New Page Patrol team is sending you this impromptu message to inform you of a steeply rising backlog of articles needing review. If you have any extra time to spare, please consider reviewing one or two articles each day to help lower the backlog. You can start reviewing by visiting Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello Synoman Barris,

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.

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

Hello Synoman Barris,

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.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.
