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.

I have completed this reading. Retswerb (talk) 04:47, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

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

Answer: Wikipedia relies on the goodwill efforts of editors who are willing to learn their way around a sometimes-complicated set of conventions and rules which can be confusing to a newcomer! Approaching fellow editors (new or experienced) with assumptions of good faith is key to building a collaborative environment where this project can continue. Taking care in how we approach new editors can be the difference between scaring someone off vs welcoming them to learn their way around and become a productive editor. Retswerb (talk) 04:47, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Cassiopeia  talk  03:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

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

Answer: Notability in the context of Wikipedia refers to the standard by which topics are determined to warrant an article here. Notability can be thought of as whether or not a particular subject has already been paid attention to enough — noted enough — by appropriate outside observers. This is determined by evaluating coverage of the topic which has taken place in reliable, independent secondary sources, in a significant way. Retswerb (talk) 04:59, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * . 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 whee 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  03:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

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

Answer: No, it would not be, see WP:NOTHOWTO. Retswerb (talk) 04:47, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Cassiopeia  talk  03:05, 25 August 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: WP:GNG is the blanket standard for notability across Wikipedia, establishing the criteria under which a topic is presumed to be notable. WP:SNGs, on the other hand, are specific guidelines that help to clarify notability for topics within certain subject matter. The SNGs include specifics regarding how to apply notability criteria for various subjects about which there has been community consensus regarding notability. When looking at a given article, the SNG should be consulted if there is one for the topic at hand. For example, when examining an article created for a river, WP:NGEO would be a great starting point. If no SNG exists for that subject, the GNG applies. Retswerb (talk) 07:53, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * . SNG does not supersited GNG. However, certain subjects would not meet GNG due to the fact that no article talk about them directly in length and in dept such the academics- WP:PROF - who would received few or none independence source talk about them (we would see BBC write an article about car stuck in a tree see here but not the President of Australian National University would be hard to find) Other SGN such as  WP:ACADEMIC and WP:NPOL specify a very strict set of source criteria and requirements respectively. Cassiopeia   talk  03:05, 25 August 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: I spent quite a while thinking on this one and I'm still not sure I'm looking at it from the right perspective. WP:NSPORT says that it exists to help evaluate whether or not a sports person or sports league/organization (amateur or professional) is likely to meet the general notability guideline so although at first I thought it was the appropriate guideline to apply, the 2024 Summer Olympics is an event, not a person or league/organization. While WP:FUTUREEVENT has a little guidance, common sense dictates that an Olympic event 5 years away will certainly be notable and certainly already has coverage. Wikipedia may not be a WP:CRYSTALBALL but this event is notable and, as that paragraph mentions, almost certain to take place. If I saw this article I would consider it to be notable and either: a) look for sources myself that I could add or b) wait 15 minutes to see if the editor adds sources, and if not tag it as unsourced. Retswerb (talk) 07:53, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Good. In general, if a subject is deemed notable, and there is no sources in the article to support the content claim, we the reviewers would generally find sources and add them in as a good practice. For event such as Olympics, source would be available 8 years prior the event take place as the host country would have been chosen. Cassiopeia  talk  03:05, 25 August 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: Not notable. Coverage of raised capital is considered "trivial coverage" per WP:NCORP. Retswerb (talk) 05:01, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

8. A upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported will be in production in December 2022 and to be released on August 2023 in the cinemas.

Answer: Not notable. Hasn't begun principal photography yet, so not yet notable per WP:NFF. Retswerb (talk) 05:01, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Cassiopeia  talk  03:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

9. A political candidates, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2021 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspapers coverage of his candidacy.

Answer: Not notable. Per WP:NPOL, being a candidate does not guarantee notability for a politician not meeting GNG. The grey area on this one to me is what exactly would be considered "significant press coverage" per that guideline. Per your description here I'm assuming the local newspaper coverage does not rise to a level that would be considered to be significant. Retswerb (talk) 05:01, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

-


 * 4. Please explain in your own words why the content claimed needs to be verified?

Answer: Verifiability is what allows the reader to follow up on what they read here so that they can see that we are recording what reliable sources say about a given topic rather than making things up ourselves. WP is designed to be a collection of information already researched and reported by others, rather than an outlet for original research. Retswerb (talk) 04:28, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * . Verifiablility is the core Wikipedia policy. Content needs to verifiable so we may know where the info/source from for we could know if the source is independent, reliable and not because it is the facts or true - see WP:But it's true!. If source indicated XXX is from Jamaica but the fact XXX is from Cuba, we put XXX is from Jamaica in article as per source. We will correct the info when the sources (not need to be the same source) correct itself. For example Alexander the Great - How he die is based on which sources you read, from poising, to malaria and typhoid fever to infectious (meningitis) to  acute pancreatitis and etc.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>   talk  02:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Answer: No. Per WP:WPNOTRS, Wikipedia articles are not a reliable source for any purpose. Retswerb (talk) 08:10, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 5.Could we used Wikipedia as the source? and why?
 * . Wikipedia can not be the sources as the content of Wikipedia is supported by "other sources" as Wikipedia a tertiary source that only compiles the information already published- See WP:CIRCULAR. Wikipedia is a online knowledge sharing platform. Readers should check the sources in the article and verify/read the info themselves.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>   talk  02:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Answer: A source can be reliable, especially for personal information, without being independent of its subject. An example of this might be a public figure whose own personal website lists their birth date. Retswerb (talk) 04:33, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * 6.Give an example and explain why a source is reliable but not independent of a subject?
 * . A personal website regardless he/she is a public figure or not is considered not reliable just like in all their social media info or a company website.
 * Pls answer again:
 * I'm confused on this one, also related to your comments on questions 13 and 16 below. My understanding of both WP:SELFSOURCE and WP:ABOUTSELF is that a personal or organization website can be considered reliable for personal information that meets the 5 criteria given there. Are you saying that's not the case?

Self-sources could be used in the article but it is still considered not reliable. See Reliable and WP:REPUTABLE - "Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Selfsources such as a person website/ a company web page/press releases/ social media and do NOT have the "fact-checking and accuracy" in place. If there is a page about me and editor place some info from my social media and who is there to check what I say in my social media  (example: If I say I know five languages and I am a citizen of 3 different countries) ,has been fact-check and accuracy? and who am I to be considered reputable for my own info (the source)?  This is also apply to company and org and gov (some gov produce a lot of propaganda and false info for their own gains and lie to their own citizens and to the world). Pls note that Selfsource can be used if the criteria is met but sparingly and it can NOT be used as a source/demonstrate  for the notability acceptance requirements - in another words, the article needs to have significant coverage of independent, reliable sources that talk about the subject in length and in depth and not passing mentioned (the article is considered notable) and the self source is just additional info of the subject in the article. I hope I have answered your question.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  09:22, 9 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Regardless, another example would be a reliable source reporting on itself. This article by NPR, reporting on their own coverage of the Beirut explosion, would be an example of this. Retswerb (talk) 05:04, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Answer: Anyone can make a statement about almost anything; someone who has no vested interest in the topic may be independent, but may or may not be reliable.

 * Pls answer again: (Give another example whereby the source is not a person)
 * Sure: another example of this would be an article posted on InfoWars regarding the war in Ukraine; although the publishers are independent of the conflict, they are not a reliable source, having been deprecated due to consistently posting false information.

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.
