New Years new page backlog drive
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:


 * The total number of reviews completed for the month.
 * The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Michael Wolff (journalist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanity Fair ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Michael_Wolff_%28journalist%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Michael_Wolff_%28journalist%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:16, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Thanks! —Anomalocaris (talk) 04:58, 8 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi again - Happy new year. As you can see above you advised me on deprecated code exactly 1 year ago. I simply cut & pasted as I have no clue about code. So I was just archiving my talk page and noted the top line in edit mode is pink. Could you help me out here and unpink it? I could just ignore it but then I'd develop some kinda wierd tick lol. With thanks  Mark  Dask  17:20, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Do you mean that when you edit a page, such as this one, certain sections display with black letters on light pastel backgrounds including light yellow, red, and blue? For example, right now, I see the indenting colons on very light blue background; templates in curly braces on a very light yellow background, Wikilinks on a light blue background (but not as light as the colons), HTML markup in light pink, signature tildes in light bronze, and everything else on a plain white background. This is because before editing, I went to my Preferences page and on the Gadgets tab, I checked Syntax highlighter. I don't ordinarily use the Syntax highlighter, but I found it as a possible explanation for your issue. —Anomalocaris (talk) 05:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:The bread winner(novel).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The bread winner(novel).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:14, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: New Year Backlog Drive results:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
 * We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
 * We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
 * Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Thanks for notifying me. I've looked at the article and agree that there's nothing notable there. --Thnidu (talk) 01:03, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Multilingual welcome banner
BTW, as a linguist I enjoy the cycling multilingual "welcome" message on your talk page. As an Esperantist, if BONVENA is meant to be the Esperanto expression for welcoming someone, while I'm pleased to see it there, I'm advising you that it should be BONVENU. Bonvena is an adjective (ends in -a), as in perhaps bonvena gasto '(a) welcome guest'. The usual expression for welcoming the person(s) you're addressing (="Welcome!") is bonvenu, the imperative (-u) form of the verb. --Thnidu (talk) 01:03, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks . I found the welcome gif on someone else' page many years ago and have used it since - never thought to question the actual text. I agree the word is bonvenu, and now I have to go edit the original version because its actually used on countless sites. I don't know anything about editing gifs so this will be a first . When I do that, are there any major languages you can identify should be included in the gif that are not? Let me know and I will add same. Mark  Dask  15:14, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * All done - I hope you like the new welcome banner .  Mark  Dask  20:15, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Multan dankon! (Many thanks!) It is really very nice!
 * I'm afraid I made a bit of a mistake, though. Bonvenu isn't wrong, but the usual form of the interjection is the accusative noun form, Bonvenon. This is common in Esperanto, as in Dankon, understood (or at least explained) as something like "(I give you) welcome/thanks." I would have made the change myself but I don't know how. --Thnidu (talk) 20:26, 18 February 2018 (UTC)


 * No probs - so we're agreed then - BONVENON?  Mark  Dask  21:51, 18 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Exactly! For some reason it shows up in the Notification with two V's, BONVVENON! ... And it's still Bonvenu in the banner. Maybe it'll just take some time to update.--Thnidu (talk) 22:02, 18 February 2018 (UTC)


 * It will take me about 15 mins to upload a new copy of the gif, and then it might take another 15 mins before the exchange of old and new. So BONVENON right? ::::

Yes, it's the usual idiomatic form, and I see it there now. :-) --Thnidu (talk) 02:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Another few languages:


 * добро пожаловать : Russian ✓
 * тавтай морил : Mongolian ✓
 * https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/тавтай_морилогтун
 * bi xêr hatî : Kurdish ✓
 * https://glosbe.com/ku/en/bi%20xêr%20hatî
 * amohela : Sesotho ✓
 * http://www.bilingo.co.za/sesotho-translate/amohela/


 * I got all of these through Google Translate, then checked them with a web search. Sometimes I couldn't confirm a "translation"-- it would turn out to be something related but not correct here, e.g., meaning "accept". The URLs are confirming pages, except for Russian, which I studied in high school and recognized the translation.


 * I've taken the liberty of inserting a new level-2 header above, where I switched the topic from that Punjabi page to the Welcome gif, and it never changed back.


 * Ooops! You wanted major languages. Russian is that, but I'm not so sure of the others. Oh, well, use 'em if you want 'em.
 * --Thnidu (talk) 04:01, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Added Russian, (pop 128M), but Mongolan pop is only 3M and if I tried to put in every language the banner would not be fairly representative of current Wikipedia demographics. I added Urdu and Swahili earlier, Swahili being most spoken African language. Thanks for your input .  Mark  Dask  16:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * A good decision, I agree. If I come up with any more big-population langs that aren't in there, I'll let you know. --Thnidu (talk) 00:41, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

About the banner
Hi Markdask ! Thanks for your attention about the banner matter. Its idea is really good and beautiful, and I thought it would be more complete and better if we add more languages, so could you please add the Arabic language ? Its translation is : "أهلاً و سهلاً" Which means⬆ "Welcome" Or you can put this translation : "مرحباً" Which means ⬆ "Hello" And about Pure conSouls language, I don't think he wanted to add a new language, I remember Dinah Kirkland wanted to do so, but anyway, you can add the Maltese language

And Thanks again 😊 TDLWH (talk) 08:11, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * All done - I hope you like the new welcome banner .  Mark  Dask  20:17, 18 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I know I always have trouble with RTL/LTR. Shouldn't the exclamation point be on the left, at the end of the text? --Thnidu (talk) 22:06, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well spotted - I copied and pasted from Google translate and the exclamation point was switched by autocorrect. I'll fix that within 24 hours. Thanks for spotting it.  Mark  Dask  22:55, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! ACTRIAL:
 * ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing
 * Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking  place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
 * While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News To opt-out of future mailings, go here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:06, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:
 * WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags
 * Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:
 * A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons
 * There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy
 * Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

 * A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
 * Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
 * The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

NPP Backlog Elimination Drive
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel: there are currently 2900 unreviewed articles, and 4000 unreviewed redirects.

Announcing the Backlog Elimination Drive! Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  06:57, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * As a final push, we have decided to run a backlog elimination drive from the 20th to the 30th of June.
 * Reviewers who review at least 50 articles or redirects will receive a Special Edition NPP Barnstar: NPPbarnstar SE.png. Those who review 100, 250, 500, or 1000 pages will also receive tiered awards: RR3217-0014 100 rubles USSR 1989 Gold avers.png, Swiss-Commemorative-Coin-1991-CHF-250-reverse.png, Coin of Kazakhstan 500Thinker averse.png, US-$1000-SC-1878-FR-346a-PROOF.jpg.
 * Please do not be hasty, take your time and fully review each page. It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing.

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers. Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
 * June backlog drive


 * New technology, new rules
 * New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
 * Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
 * Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.


 * Editathons
 * Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.


 * Project news
 * The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.
 * As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.


 * There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See New pages patrol/Coordination for more info to see if you can help out.


 * Other
 * A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.


 * Moving to Draft and Page Mover
 * Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
 * If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
 * Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
 * The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
 * The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

 * Community Wishlist Proposal
 * There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
 * Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!


 * Project updates
 * ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
 * There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.


 * New scripts
 * User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js(info) — A new script created for quickly placing copyvio-revdel on a page.

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018
Hello ,
 * Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
 * Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.


 * If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.


 * We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.


 * With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Please discuss deletions at an appropriate venue, like WP:AfD.  Sounder Bruce  00:55, 17 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I was seperating "upcoming" i.e. "not yet notable" clubs from "current" clubs on the USL Championship page and overlooked giving a reason for the redirects, (7 in total). What I've done is resolve months of disputes on the subject of what is and what is not acceptable regarding club notability. The "upcoming" clubs do not pass Notability standards and so were redirected. For details see here. I do not use sandboxes.  Mark  Dask  01:18, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018
Hello ,

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
 * Reviewer of the Year
 * Thanks are also extended for their work to (15,059 reviews),  (12,760reviews),  (9,001reviews),  (8,440reviews),  (8,092reviews),   (5,306reviews),  (4,153 reviews),  (4,016reviews),  and  (3,615reviews)., , , and  have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only sevenmonths, while , with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top100 reviewers.

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
 * Less good news, and an appeal for some help

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
 * Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019
