Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).

Make sure you read through Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
 * How to use this page

If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.

Notability
 PART 1 

When patrolling or reviewing an article, you may often come across articles do not meet the WP:N guidelines, but the editors make the edits in good faith. Please read WP:AGF and do not WP:BITE the new editors.


 * A. Notability is a test guidelines to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article in Wikipedia mainspace. Please read What Wikipedia is not, General Notability Guidelines, Specific Notability Guidelines, Stand-alone list before completing the following tasks.

General notability guidelines
1. In your own words, why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors.

Answer: It is really important to WP:AGF because most times when a new comer starts editing Wikipedia, they get little or no knowledge about the specific rules and guidelines governing Wikipedia, so they just start creating articles in a bid to help the project, whereas they are hurting the project, so all that is needed is to guide them in the appropriate way and not to WP:BITE them.

For example, I had my fair share of experience, joining Wikipedia I though in WP:AGF, I could just be creating articles as I like about people I like or topics that interest me, I thought I was helping the project, I thought I was doing something good, but I learnt with all of this experience so WP:BITE new editors would only make them uninterested and leave the project (if care isn’t taken), so assuming WP:AGF is very important to retain new editors while also giving them the support and training needed (if possible).


 * ✅. Assuming good faith is important as mistakes and Wikipedia policy breaches appear not because people intend to do harm, but due to their lack of knowledge of Wikipedia guidelines. Always behave in a civilized manner and avoid attacks on new editors which may result in unpleasant situations such as fights or their leave and subsequent loss to the community (this could have been a great editor). Cassiopeia   talk  05:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

2. In your own words, how is notability defined in Wikipedia?

Answer: Notability is defined (in my own word) as the ability for a subject to meet a specific guideline set aside, in this case the - general notability guidelines such that the topic/subject has significant coverage, has sources (reliable sources) that are independent of the subject.
 * . In Wikipedia, notability means "worthy to be noted" - it is defined as a topic is "presumably" notable for stand-alone article or list if (1) it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject where by the sources talk "directly" about the subject in depth and in length and not only passing mentioned and (2) it is not excluded under the What WP:Wikipedia is not policy. Cassiopeia   talk  05:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

3. Does a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" considered a notable topic in Wikipedia?

Answer: A step by step instructions on how to ‘change a car tire’ doesn’t sound like a notable topic for Wikipedia to me, cause a step by step instructions sounds like a manual or guide instruction which Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and ‘Steps to change a car tire’ do not fit into an encyclopedia, so ‘Change a car tire’ is not considered a notable topic.
 * ✅. As per WP:NOTMANUAL - Wikipedia allows descriptions of things but not imperative instructions on how to use them. Cassiopeia   talk  05:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

4. What are the differences between A WP:GNG and a specific notability guidelines? how do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?

Answer: The WP:GNG as the name implies are the general notability guidelines that guide the creation of an article on Wikipedia this means that they are the general rules and guidelines that has to be followed before a topic is deemed fit to deserve a stand alone article while the Specific notability guidelines are guidelines that are specific to a particular topic this means that while a subject/topic might not be notable under the WP:GNG, it might be under the specific notability guidelines, the specific notability guidelines help to show that a topic which has fulfiled some criteria could still be given time for improvement and to test for its notability before been deleted.

The major difference is that the WP:GNG is a major notability guidelines that guides all articles creation while WP:SNG are specific to some topics and helps to take a broader look on the article when it fails the WP:GNG but passes the WP:SNG
 * ✅. Both can be used when patrolling but those subject falls under SNG/SSG (sport specific guidelines) but fails to meet the WP:GNG guidelines would sometimes nominated for deletion WP:AfD for discussion to determine the status of the article. (We will cover AfD in later assignment). Cassiopeia  talk  05:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Specific notability guidelines
5. If an editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2019 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?

Answer: Without reliable and notable sources (reference), it is difficult to substantiate the notability of a subject, Wikipedia verifies the notability of a subject or topic by the sources added to back it up.
 * . The subject is considered notable as 1. it had widespread effect as an international event, 2. The host nation of Olympics games would usually be announced 8 years prior the event, so even the article might not have source, we, as the reviewers, would find the sources and add them in as good practice. Cassiopeia  talk  05:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * B.  Without considered of sources/content policies and review just based on "subject specific notability" (SSN) "alone" for sake of the exercises below,  please answer if the subject meets the SSN guidelines, based on the given content below, and specify under (1) which notability criteria they meet or fail (example - MUSICBI#1 if certain sub set of criteria is applicable) and (2) reasons/explanations.

6. A New York city based 2021 start up software company, specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.

Answer: 1. fails WP:CORPDEPTH 2. All it has is just a trivial coverage in brief announcement of a raised investor fund which doesn’t meet the WP:SNG
 * ✅. Cassiopeia  talk  05:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

The program is for participant to learn about NPP and not about getting the answer rights. It is disappointing.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  09:09, 4 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, that is not true. I have nothing to gain copying and who would I copy from?. I have been volunteering for Article for Creation (AFC) and before volunteering for AFC, I have been reading about the notability guidelines for a while which means I am quite familiar with it and I was on this assignment for over 2hours, immediately you sent, I had to recap on what I have learnt and learnt the new guidelines that I have not seen before. It’s sad to me that you accused me of copying or plagiarizing anyones work, you could use any plagiarism tester to test that I didn’t do anything of such.

B.Korlah (talk) 09:14, 4 September 2022 (UTC)


 * , ok. I had students which did copy other participants work and ended up abandon the program because they can answer nor understand the guidelines on the later assignments.

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home.
