A tag has been placed on Category:Women footballers in the Netherlands indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz ^{Read!

Hey y'all, voting for the 2021 Wikiproject Military history coordinator tranche is now open. This is a simple approval vote; only "support" votes should be made. Project members should vote for any candidates they support by 23:59 (UTC) on 28 September 2021. Voting will be conducted at the 2021 tranche page itself. Appropriate questions for the candidates can also be asked. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:39, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Joseywales1961,

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.

Hi Josey, I appreciate your thanks for my (re)creation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Hyacinthe article. If you are interested, there are other articles here: Category:Articles incorporating text from the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia with no article parameter which could use some enhancement by adding the Wikisource title to the template used. An example of one I did recently is Bentivoglio family. I use the Copyvio detector here https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ (using the Wikipedia article name and URL of the Wikisource article, e.g. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Family_of_Bentivoglio ) to see which blocks of text from there are used. Regards — DivermanAU (talk) 23:00, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DivermanAU, Thank you, I am mostly involved in New Page Patrol these days and I usually thank the creators when I've looked at the article. We have a bit of a backlog in that area so will be tied up with that for a while until we get it down, but I will certainly look at your suggestion in a couple of weeks. Happy editing JW 1961 ^Talk 07:43, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why shouldn't she have a page? And why actively delete her page?

She's talked about on Sky Sports regularly.

She's the wife of world-famous retired footballer and coach, Ray Lewington, whose most recent positions include those at Crystal Palace and England.

She's an important fixture in the footballing world.

Article needs to go back up immediately. ErrorHound (talk) 12:23, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ErrorHound People need no be notable in their own right per notability guidelines and that notability needs to be demonstrated in the article with references to multiple third party reliable sources that speak about her in depth. To retrieve the contents of a deleted article if you want to re-work it, you would need to contact the administrator who deleted it here.

Hi Mr Joseywales, gooday sir, please check and help review these pages;

• Grace & Talent
• The Certificate (album)
• Wazobia FM Abuja
• Papa Benji
• Umu Obiligbo
• Nkwelle-Ezunaka, thanks sir --Idoghor Melody (talk) 17:58, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Idoghor Melody, thank you for your contributions. The only one of the above that I reviewed was Nkwelle-Ezunaka which is fine as a geo-stub, it could use more references (for example a newspaper report) as it is barely mentioned in the reference in the article. The other articles look well laid out and you seem to have put in a lot of effort, however music and entertainment is well outside my area of expertize (I usually review football, military, geography, history and some Irish topics) so I'll have to leave them for another reveiwer that knows what is notable in these areas. Don't worry if they don't get reviewed for a while as we a dealing with a large backlog of new pages at the moment. Have a great time editing and creating! JW 1961 ^Talk 19:23, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mr Joseywales, I appreciate. I will look for books and news papers to expand the Nkwelle Ezunaka article as I too I'm not happy that it is looking like that. Thanks sir --Idoghor Melody (talk) 19:30, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,Could you please delete the Draft:Berkay Vardar page?.Could you please review Imarat Tayfa article? User:MuradAli2000

Hi MuradAli2000 I had a quick look at the page and tagged one section, as I can't understand the languages of the sources I couldn't do a full verification check, but the page looks to be laid out fine (maybe move the pictures in to a gallery and make them the same size, it should be reviewed shortly (we have a backlog of new pages at the moment so don't worry if it's not done today). Keep up your good work and happy editing JW 1961 ^Talk 19:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you anyway, Mr Joseywales. I have one more request from you.While I was creating the Berkay Vardar article, I accidentally published it without completing it and And you moved to the drafts.I fixed the mistake I made.Could you please delete the Draft:Berkay Vardar page and review Berkay Vardar. User:MuradAli2000

The new page has been reviewed, thank you for making it - I have request that the draft be deleted (you can do that yourself on any page you make and think it is wrong by replacing the content with {{Db-g7}} - in future if you make a mistake it is best to keep the original draft and improve it, as that keeps all the page history in the one place (there was not much in this case) you can ask any experienced user to move pages from draft to mainspace or the other way around (and you could do it yourself when you have a little more experience) Happy editing JW 1961 ^Talk 20:30, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for fixing the case on the Jintu Gogoi article, however there appears to have been a typo in the pagemove: it was moved to Jinto Gogoi, rather than Jintu Gogoi. Can you please fix? Thanks, 2A01:4C8:41:F1F7:E84E:F4EC:5DB:176 (talk) 08:42, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I made Draft:DaniDev, I wanna know how is it inappropriate. And Danidev.net is the official website of the person.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohammed12313893 (talk • contribs) 21:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mohammed12313893, Draft:DaniDev was declined by the reviewer Hoary on 20 September 2021 as not being supported by reliable sources. I am not a Draft article accepter/decliner - I only review new pages as they are published on the New Page Patrol. I nominated the mainspace article DaniDev for deletion for the same reason - Please note that youtube and his own website are not considered reliable sources (see WP:RS) and WP:RSP for help in what is reliable. The mainspace article has since been deleted by admin Liz - you can see the log here. You can continue to work on the article in Draft and submit for review again when sourced to independent, reliable sources. It would also be a good idea to look through WP:Notability to check if your subject is going to be able to pass the notability guidelines. Thank you for your contributions JW 1961 ^Talk 22:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have no idea what I am doing. I am trying to make a page for Chris Charlton. You keep tagging my pages. I fix what you tag and then you tag something else. All the sources you requested are about him. I gave direct links to the articles written about him proving he is real. I don't understand why that can't count as a credible source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmellsas (talk • contribs) 18:43, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kmellsas, welcome. As you are trying to create a biography of a living person it required sources which is why I first tagged it as an unsourced biography of a living person (see WP:BLP and Reliable Sources for help on this). The second problem, and why it was tagged again is that it appears to an almost exact 89.4% copy of another web page - which is not allowed so please see WP:COPYVIO for help in this area. As a new user it would be best to create your first few article at Articles for creation where you would get help and advice along the way rather than just publishing to the main space where they would invariably be tagged by a reviewer. Thank you for your contributions and I hope this helps you, have a great time on Wikipedia, you'll get there we all had to start sometime! JW 1961 ^Talk 18:59, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the article about Miraheze that I created was speedily deleted? Vitaium (talk) 23:14, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vitaium, This was an article that was recently deleted see CSDG4 meaning that it had already been deleted a few times and then recreated. Also the re-creation of the article did not prove notability WP:GNG (see CSDA7) by being sourced to multiple, independent reliable sources - you can see the page logs here and contact the deleting administrator (top name on the list) if you wish to challenge the deletion.
