Candida blankii
You reverted my delinkification of a reference to this yeast species, saying that someone might provide more information.

Candida blankii has not changed since the article was created, in 2010, with just seven words in it. I have duly nominated that article for deletion. Whatmakes you think that someone is likely to improve the article, after 9 years of evidence to the contrary?

And surely the link can be restored after the article has been given some worthwhile content. It is very annoying to follow a link in an article, only to discover that the linked article doesn't even come up to stub grade. MrDemeanour (talk) 18:41, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Noticing this. If an article for something like this exist then it should be blue linked to.  Someone might go there and add to it later on.  Some articles are just stubs for a decade before someone expands them.   D r e a m Focus  19:43, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * MrDemeanour WP:Before should be considered and implemented before proceeding to WP:AFD.  Article can be improved, and probably will be now that we have all those other projects informed.  We disagree.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 19:48, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You want to get rid of the link even before consensus is vetted at AFD. You put the cart before the horse.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 19:51, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. Fair dos - will wait for outcome of AfD. Which, according to your views, will fail. MrDemeanour (talk) 09:36, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Will be kept. You can take that to the bank.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 10:16, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Wondering if you know why someone would relist the afd on this article. It is the third relist, and it seemed to be a clear keep vote Lubbad85 (talk) 01:20, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Lubbad85 They didn't like the count, and are suffering from a delusion that the result will change. There is no good reason, IMO.  I put up a note on Articles for deletion/Jean Mill about this.  <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 13:01, 29 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, this is maddening. The work it takes to fight off those with an agenda is supremely disappointing. Wikipedia has clear guidelines regarding Afds and it seems they are being ignored. Playing by the rules is apparently unimportant. Lubbad85 (talk) 14:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You've got that right. I've seen this concerning all the Supercentenarian articles.  And if they don't win, they will refile next week. they hope no one will notice, or that they will get worn out and too tired to protest.  One of the best things you can do is post the existence of WP:AFDs to the Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list and all potential project talk pages.  There is some strength in numbers, but the deleters are highly organized and acting in concert. Avoid saying much, as they will be quick to accuse of WP:Canvassing. <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 14:13, 29 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I filed a complaint against the 3rd afd relister. Never posted a reason why he ignored wikipedia policy and clear consensus. Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents Lubbad85 (talk) 15:14, 29 March 2019 (UTC)


 * seems that admins stick together and swarm when one is questioned. I thank you for reading the article. However I will need to forget about it. It is like being caught in the gears of a big machine. I have no clue as to why there is so much opposition to this article. And at this point I have done all I can - and administrators are swarming to defend the admin who placed a third afd. Wikipedia says we should assume good faith. Read the entry if you have time. sigh.... Lubbad85 (talk) 16:47, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Lubbad85 It's not about you. Your improvements helped.  The publicity (a fireworks display) brought in attention, and the quick responders were negative and surly.  And now there are a lot of KEEPs coming in.  The article will stand or fall on its own.  There is little control.  As I tell lawyers I deal with: "Lawyers give themselves too much of the credit for their successes, and too much of the blame for their failures.  They don't make up the facts.  And litigation is like a horse race, '90% horse and 10% rider.'" We do what we can, but our fate is in the stars.  So to speak.

Legal syllogism
You are the only one who cares for the Wiki content and who has made effort in order for the article: legal syllogism has not been deleted, treating it as a common property of all in a sense.

So, I am leaving you the information which may help you or someone else to improve the current content of this entry so as one, in Continental Europe, may pass an exam when acquainted with it.

The minor premise of legal syllogism is the proposition of fact – it can be (in the sense of descriptive proposition or more accurately the statement in the logical sense, i.e. a statement which value can be established as true or false) but also it can be raw facts of the case at hand. Which tends to more correct see below.

The major premise of legal syllogism is the proposition of law – it can be, but also it can be not. If it is so, it would be advisable to indicate which kind of such proposition: descriptive, normative or performative one. And if it is to be a normative proposition, which kind of it: rule, norm, principle (for the meaning of a legal principle as something different from a legal rule see for instance Neil MacCormick, Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory, Clarendon Press: Oxford 1978, pp. 152-161, 166-167, 178-180).

However, if the major premise of legal syllogism is a norm (or even a rule), this premise can be not proposition of law provided the linguistic conception of norm is not adopted. Indeed, there are many other conceptions of legal norm, for instance, comprehending such norms as a social fact or a psychological fact (see American Legal Realism, Scandinavian Legal Realism and Petrazycki's theory for instance respectively).

Moreover, if the major premise was the proposition of law in the sense of linguisticly comprahended norm (or rule) and the minor premise was  the proposition of law in the sense of a descriptive  proposition (the statement in the logical sense), is it something wrong with the whole conception? How from two ontologically different items may one infer anything?

So, perhaps if the minor premise of legal syllogism is formed by raw facts of the case at hand and the major premise by a legal norm without deciding on its linguistic or non-linguistic nature, it would be more accurate. And the legal syllogism would be not a kind of logical calculus but an illustration of a mode in which people really think (form the psychological perspective). And thus the whole conception of it rescued.

If you find a while and regard that topic as interesting, see some such an attempt in the article published in a “crappy” German international leading journal devoted specially to legal theory and philosophy of law. http://www.ingentaconnect.com/contentone/fsv/arsp/2017/00000103/00000004/art00005

Therefore, perhaps the original definition was the most overarching and safest one. – apart from its major vise that “the Polish guy” was cited therein (incidentally one whose doctoral dissertation’s supervisor was Bartosz Brozek and the reviewer Jerzy Stelamch who are now cited. And that’s good!) Therefore, perhaps the original definition was the most overarching and safest one. Click biography at:      http://jagiellonian.academia.edu/MaciejKoszowski

Legal syllogism does not hinge on the legal question one has to resolve but such a question prompts one to employ legal syllogism in order to resolve it. And in this way these concepts are related to each other.

Moreover, legal syllogism has nothing to do with a holding. American holding usually means the facts of the case at hand and its legal outcome specified in a judgment. And it suggests analogical reasoning, not deductive one – definitely!

By the way, the statement that: “The holding is the "legal principle to be drawn from the opinion (decision) of the court."” is totally, at least insofar when the holding in a narrow sense is involved, incorrect and must be changed in order not to misguide the readers of the Wiki – see for instance Steven J. Burton, An Introduction to Law and Legal Reasoning, Austin 2007 p. 37 and 38 and Robert S. Summers, Precedent in the United States (New York State), [in:] Interpreting Precedents. A Comparative Study, eds. D.N. MacCormick and R.S. Summers, Aldershot 1997, pp. 384, 386-387.

What can be connected with legal syllogism is instead the British ratio decidendi, which is more often than not comprehended as a general rule, albeit, a defeasible one by its very definition. If you want to extend the article you may show the origin of legal syllogism and its links with legal positivism and legal normativism as well as a syllogistic (subsumptive) style of judicial opinions. The latter concerns above all France, but not only of course. If in turn you like to give it some Polish or more broadly European taint, legal syllogism can be connected with the ideology of constrained judicial decision as an opposition to the ideology of free judicial decision or the ideology of rational judicial decision. The idea of tripartion of power is also at stake here.

It is also not advisable to exaggerate the prominence of legal syllogism. It is still thaught in civilian legal systems (and all students of law should know its structure), but it serves rather as schematic illustration of legal argument than the mode which one invokes during legal proceedings or in dogmatic academic writing. But it was crucial for legal positivisms and its assumptions as to the nature of law, including the so-called formalistic-and-dogamtic method, and hence deserves the place in the Wiki.

Nevertheless, it would be also appropriate to show the difference in the attitude to legal syllogism in Continental Europe, the UK and the USA (and perhaps in the Nordic legal systems) for this attitude is not the same there. Perhaps after adding such a section, people from India, Japan, and China will join and explain what this attitude is in their countries – with no disrespect for their legal systems which considerably differ from civil and common law, yet are also worth attention and do not seem to be inferior in any way. Cosmic Sans appears to be able to help in all of this, since he has known that original definition was right and any of its words cannot be questioned, thereby he must possess some knowledge about theory of law – being even legal theorist and/or philosopher of law – and can assess the article’s content as it progresses.

Please, do not take my remarks as a sort of elevation. Expertise is by its very definition related to the specific domain and being an expert in one domain does not lead – at least automatically – to being an expert in another one. See Philip E. Ross, The Expert Mind, Scientific American vol. 295 no. 2 (2006), pp. 64-71 (a very good article, anyhow). You have shown in the way in which you have advanced the argument that you must be a good lawyer and if fact an honest one, not racially motivated; independently of that fact that some civilian law legal concepts are sometimes hard to grasp.

The list of articles you may also repair - if you are willing - comprises analogy, law, non liquet, statutory interpretation, metaphor, argumentum a contrario, argumentum a fortiori, loophole and Draft: Legal reasoning.

The warning that attention should be paid to copyright has also not been done in order to deprive the Wiki of the current content but stems from the fact that this content now suggests – for the readers of the Wiki – that the author whose works have been used in order to prepared the content of the wiki has prepared these works upon the Wikipedia, while in fact it was otherwise. These works have been used for creating the Wiki's content.

No discrediting, disrespectful or harmful content regarding a concrete person mentioned by real name should also be left, much less when it is publically accessible.

Cheers! As to deductive legal reasonnig cf. also Richard A. Posner, "How Judges Think", Harvard University Press 2010. Best!

NPR Newsletter No.18


Hello ,

, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
 * WMF at work on NPP Improvements
 * Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
 * Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
 * Reliable Sources for NPP

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.
 * Backlog drive coming soon

Duplicate references at Stuck (unit)
Hello! You reverted my removal of two duplicates (essentially) of the Cardarelli reference for this article. Note that the Jerrard book is a new edition (the original was in the 1960s), with a copy-paste of the same information from the Cardarelli; both books are published by Springer, who thus own the copyright to this scrap of text. The Gyllenbok book is a newer book published (ultimately) by Springer, which seems to have copied, but misread the Cardarelli entry (which reads "Stuck (hock)"). Gyllenbok, who just like Cardarelli is not a native speaker of English, has assumed that "hock" is another way of saying "stuck", because he doesn't realise it's a curious English word for German white wine. So neither reference is independent, and Gyllenbok is actually worse. Can you explain how it can help to have three copies of essentially the same snippet? Thanks. Imaginatorium (talk) 14:23, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I understand your concern.
 * Please understand mine.
 * There are different sources from different authors that say the same thing. Inferentially, it suggests that each of them deemed the assertion to be factually correct.
 * We are concerned wsith WPzVerifiability not WP:Truth.
 * Further, we are going through an AFD process where some editors, maybe even you, suggest that it is not verified, and not WP:Notable. And the argument will then follow that there are no sources and not references.  And of course, since you removed them that would be correct.  You have deliberately ut the rticle into a failspin and made a Self fulfilling prophecy.

Blatant violation of WP:CANVASS
These two edits and  indisputably violate WP:CANVASS. Not only were they made to a partisan audience, but they are not the least bit neutrally worded. I am requesting that you delete them.

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019


Hello ,

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important. Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR. The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever. NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so  you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations. Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for  the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging. Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway. School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

What were you thinking? I suppose we should be happy that you added that awful sentence and the extreme-right advertisement disguised as a reference after the article was on the front page. Drmies (talk) 19:15, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Drmies I did not see it that way.  That's how they used it.  I did not claim agreement with the statement.  Indeed, I think it's offensive.  In any event, YMMV.  That was done six months ago.  You could have (and maybe someone did) edit it out.  <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 12:13, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes--it had been taken out before. The sentence was in very weird English ("t is a direction in the United States") but I find it more disconcerting that you would give a spamlink and pretend it's a valid reference--that smacks of agreement, and at least of promotional editing. But there were a ton of sourcing problems in that article anyway. Drmies (talk) 13:36, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

BLP Policy
Icewhiz (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) In regards to diff - beyond being WP:POINTy - per Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions you are required: "Editors issuing alerts are expected to ensure that no editor receives more than one alert per area of conflict per year. Any editor who issues alerts disruptively may be sanctioned.". As I received an alert on December 2018 - you are in breach of policy here.
 * 2) More importantly - diff - inserting this Friday sermon, published in the opinion section of the Premium Times as a source for fact (in Wiki Voice) - is a WP:BLPSOURCES violation. Please - self revert, as I do not want to escalate this further.
 * I disagree. That it was a matter of continuing discussion, concern and controversy.  It is related to WP:GNG and the related WP:PROD. That you want to bowdlerize the existing coverage only proves the point.
 * Your posting of the notice was b.s., but it is applicable to you as to me. Cheers.  <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 15:25, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Your notice was counter-policy, as I've already been alerted in the past year. I kindly suggest you self-revert your addition of a friday sermon as a source for BLP information - I don't think this will go over well at WP:AE. Your addition of this at 14:59, 8 August 2019 was made after you were duly notified of the BLP DS regime at 14:57, 8 August 2019. Icewhiz (talk) 15:28, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello ,

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.
 * Backlog

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
 * Coordinator

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for  making  the occasional  mistake while  others can learn from  their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
 * This month's refresher course

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
 * Deletion tags

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
 * Paid editing


 * Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
 * Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent  enhancements to  the New Pages Feed and  features in the Curation  tool, and there are still more to  come. Due to the wealth  of information  now displayed by  ORES, reviewers are strongly  encouraged to  use the system now rather than Twinkle; it  will  also  correctly  populate the logs.
 * Not English
 * 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, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
 * Tools

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

Unsourced articles
Articles with no sources should be removed. Why do you think the encyclopedia is better off for dozens of articles like Baby Puss? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:39, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * And why do you think articles are better without short descriptions? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:48, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Koavf I did not intend to eliminate "short descrioptions." Feel free to put tyem  back
 * These articles are useful information, all of which antedate the internet, So sources are hard to find.  My "feeling" is that deleting them diminishes the content of Wikipedia.
 * Why do you think their systematic eradication (without bothering to WP:AFD them), is an improvement? You found a clever way to achieve a result without honoring required process. <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 03:25, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , Because I'm not deleting them nor do I think they should be deleted: they are useful as redirects. Saying, "I can't find sources for this but trust me, it's important" flies in the face of fundamental principles of Wikipedia: WP:OR, WP:SOURCE, WP:NOTABLE. There are a lot of cartoons: if we don't use sources to establish notability and facts about them, how do we decide which ones to include or not? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:34, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

See also WT:ANIMATION, where other users are putting their input that redirecting is appropriate. Decade-old articles with no sources violate WP:SOURCE/WP:RELIABLE and WP:NOTABLE which are bedrock policies here--not just suggestions. You cannot have unsourced articles on Wikipedia.
 * You know the rules, without understanding them. You apply them selectively.  If you want to WP:Delete and WP:PROD articles, there is a procedure, which you have continually flouted.  If there is a content dispute, it belongs on the article talk page.  Your continual use of WP:Merge to delete articles is abusive and ignores policy.

Perhaps this warning was unnecessary? I realize that the user's edits were not terribly helpful, but you warned them a about vandalizing the Draft:Sandbox, with a warning that tells them to test their edits in the Draft:Sandbox.

New Page Review newsletter November 2019
Hello ,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon. There are now holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action. Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays. Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox. Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards. Admin has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers. Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources. Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13. The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights. There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year.

 * Tools
 * It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
 * It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
 * Reviewer Feedback
 * Second set of eyes
 * Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
 * Do be sure to have our talk page  on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.

Mihi fuerit magno gaudio si tu, praeceptor admirabillime, mihi articulos haud diutius miseris qui propter paupertatem vel nescientiam latinitatis eorum sunt corrigendi, emendandi, poliendi.

Latin Articles needing improvement
Translation of My Greeting into English Dear 7&8=thirteen, I hope you are in good health as I am. I should be greatly pleased if you were to send me Latin articles in need of proof reading, improvement or refinement - but not too often! Best wishes from LeoTertiusMagnus

Livestock guardian dog and Mountain dog
There was an o'er hasty merger of the latter article into the former. They posted it on one page and left the other off. As the creator of the latter article, I would have thought somebody would have notified me. But merger discussions are subject to abuse and quiet rigging of the process. The merger discussions are NOW ongoing at Talk:Livestock guardian dog and Talk:Mountain dog. I wrote the latter article many years ago, and it needs additional sources, particularly ones that use the phrase "mountain dog." The breeds that are listed on these two pages do not completely overlap. <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 21:17, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter December 2019


This year's Reviewer of the Year is. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
 * Reviewer of the Year

Special commendation again goes to who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to and  who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by.
 * Redirect autopatrol

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
 * Source Guide Discussion

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag. Delivered by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) at 16:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Patrolling of articles
Hello! Colleague, could you please to patrol this and this articles? Thank you. — Green Zero   обг  21:54, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Peace Dove
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ― Buster7  &#9742;   14:32, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Edit to "American Nazi Party" entry
TheBlueTortoise (talk) 07:24, 28 December 2019 (UTC)Hi there (and Merry Christmas!),

I wanted to apologize for editing the word "assassination" to murder about George Rockwell. I had written asking for advice on it on the "talk" page, and asked my dad about it and he had thought it should be OK to change it. I hope I didn't break any rules, I've been reading about user contribution guidelines but there is so much of it, I should have just left it be and don't want to get in trouble.

I thought I'd mention that on the entry for "George Lincoln Rockwell" in the opening blurb it says he was murdered rather than assassinated (I didn't do that one though, I just came across it as I was doing research for a paper assigned over the holiday break. I don't want to change anything else, but I thought maybe you could change that entry to make it more the same between the two articles if that isn't much trouble for you? Again though my apology for changing something that I don't know enough about, I feel badly about it.

Thank you! Greg — Berean Hunter   (talk)  12:57, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
