Hello ARN. I hope you are doing well. I come here because it looks like you approved this article with positive feedback to the contributor. I didn't catch the article before it was deleted but the title and the AFD suggest it was pretty egregious. It should not be getting past NPP. Ideally, any NPP coming across stuff like this ought to and be able to handle it promptly; leaving it alone would be a distant second choice only befitting new reviewers, which you are. Please evaluate what went wrong so it may not happen again. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 04:09, 5 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, @Usedtobecool: When I marked the article as reviewed, the documents hadn't been released yet and the article was just some background info that didn't include the names of BLPs (iirc). Most of the BLP concerns were inserted a few hours afterwards, once the documents were released. I acknowledge the title isn't the best, and I did mention that on the talk page, but I thought that an undiscussed move might have been contested. Thanks for the feedback, and I will watch out for things like this in the future. Happy new year! ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 17:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If this was a list article that did not include a list, that was a good reason to not approve it just yet. Proposing merge was also an option. But I don't want to put you on the spot here. You don't have to justify it to me, especially as neither you nor I have access to the article's history anymore. As I said, think about what went wrong and what you can learn from it. Happy new year, ARN! Usedtobecool ☎️ 17:38, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The article wasn't a list article, it just had "list" in the title. As for the proposed merge, I was planning on waiting to see how much analysis and coverage RS's would provide. Apologies if my justifications have been annoying, I just wanted to clear things up. Regardless, thanks for the feedback, and I will do differently if I come across this situation again. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 18:45, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, not at all. You are actually making sense. From your explanations, I am convinced it was not a case of serious NPP error as I had first feared. But if it can help us with the next time, all the better. Best, Usedtobecool ☎️ 02:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Page Review!
Hello @ARandomName123, You Recently Reviewed the Page Draft:Valayam (film).

I have searched in google about the Realiable sources, I found only 2 websites given the Rating for this film. Where this movie has no more Reception from the critics were found.

Requesting you to please lemme know what should i do now, to improve the draft for the Acceptance!

Thankyou! Milli&#39;s Boy (talk) 16:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, @Milli's Boy: If you can't find any sources, that may simply mean that the film is not notable enough for inclusion. Remember that no amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. Thanks, ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 16:47, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Health, sport, rehabilitation

Hello dear ARandomName123.

Could you please explain what exactly I need to do to add "significant coverage from secondary, reliable sources".

There are many resources in my article. That's why I didn't understand what to do.

Sorry! but I really need your help!

Best regards FreeworkfromM (talk) 21:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @FreeworkfromM: Hi, currently, the majority of sources in your article are just simple database listings. This fails the significant coverage aspect of our notability guideline. To achieve notability, you need to provide something like news coverage of the journal, or recognition from other journals. Additionally, please add some more sources to your draft. Thanks!

How do I revert people’s edits when they’re trolling? --Tepunia (talk) 02:46, 22 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Tepunia: Hi, in the history of the article, there should be a button that says "undo" next to their edit. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 02:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If you are referring to the page Tyler Bass, the article has now been restored to it's last stable state. However, it is semi-protected, which means you need 10 more edits to be able to edit that article. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 02:58, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

What are examples of independent sources?
Hello, i'm new to wikipedia so I don't really know everything that comes to editing. I apparently have only 1 independent source in my article draft, so can you give me some examples to help me get an idea?

Thanks,

Wikiiiipedia123 Wikiiiipedia123 (talk) 02:07, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Wikiiiipedia123, independent sources are sources that are not related to the article subject. For example, sources from the school website are not independent. On the other hand, news coverage, like the article in Daily Commercial, are independent since the publisher has no direct relation to the school. Please see Independent sources for more information. Thanks! ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 02:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Welcome to the drive! (obligatory)
 * I saw your edit request at Mediawiki:Watchlist-messages but it seems that no admins are responding yet. Is it possible to notify an admin about this? CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 18:29, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @CactiStaccingCrane: Hi, I'd give it another day or so, but if no one has responded then, I'll ask around on Discord. Looking at older requests, they seem to be posted around a week before the drive starts, which is a few more days for us. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 18:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems that an admin responded. Now there's an avalanche of editors joining the drive. There's a small but real chance that the amount of editors joining would be greater than that of WP:WikiCup LOL CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 14:24, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I noticed. It's great that there are so many people joining, and we're already at nearly 50 editors only 2 days in. It probably helps that this is probably the easiest backlog drive to participate in since editors don't need to have advanced permissions (NPP/AFC) or make a long-term commitment (WikiCup). ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 14:29, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey, could you help me make a personal message to participants from 45 onwards?

As such, I'm planning to stick to quick and simple edits for the rest of the week, and I won't have enough time to make personalized messages. Once my exams are over, I'd be able to do so, but I'm not entirely sure this is necessary for everyone. Maybe for the newer editors? ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 13:59, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:


 * Proposal 2, initiated by, provides for the addition of a text box at Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
 * Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by and, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
 * Proposal 5, initiated by, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
 * Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
 * Proposal 7, initiated by, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
 * Proposal 9b, initiated by, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
 * Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by, , and , respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
 * Proposal 13, initiated by, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
 * Proposal 14, initiated by, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
 * Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by and, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
 * Proposal 16e, initiated by, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
 * Proposal 17, initiated by, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
 * Proposal 18, initiated by, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
 * Proposal 24, initiated by, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
 * Proposal 25, initiated by, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
 * Proposal 27, initiated by, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
 * Proposal 28, initiated by, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

 * @TheRealLee5555: Hi, I'm going to assume the article is Draft:Pro REIT. First things first, you should probably get rid of the big table at the top. If you're trying to get those side boxes, please take a look at Infobox company. Regarding the sources, please note that standard business announcements (like funding announcements), profiles, don't confer any notability.
 * Sources don't have to be national publications, but they should be reliable, secondary and have large amounts of coverage on the subject. (Ex. an article on it) ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 17:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Happy to get rid of the big table at the top. I was, in fact, trying to create a company infobox, so thank you for the link! CoStar and RealEstateNews.ca are independent industry publications in Canada, so those sources are not standard business announcements. I did use a news release from TMX - the Toronto Stock Exchange - it would be like a news release on a company from the NYSE - is that not a reliable source?  Does Yahoo! Finance not count as an independent source? It is very difficult to find sources for small companies. Would it be more appropriate to get a Canadian editor who might understand the media landscape in Canada? Any help would be appreciated. TheRealLee5555 (talk) 17:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @TheRealLee5555: Hi, fyi, things like news releases are usable to verify basic facts, but don't count towards notability, which is what you need to get your article accepted. Standard announcements include "the hiring, promotion, or departure of personnel," which is the CoStar source, and "quarterly or annual financial results and earning forecasts," which is the RENX source. Please see WP:ORGTRIV. The Yahoo! Finance source can be used, but does not count towards notability since it doesn't have much accompanying text/prose.
 * Please keep in mind that the large majority of small companies do not receive enough coverage for inclusion. Regarding Canadian editors, they're pretty common (I'm a Canadian, for example, see my user page). ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 17:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi. Very happy you are Canadian! Also, very much appreciate the insight into references. I guess I will have to keep this page in draft for the time being until I can find sources other than RENX and CoStar. Thank you for your time. TheRealLee5555 (talk) 18:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem, happy to help! ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 19:38, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Question from Aincrad1 (16:39, 2 April 2024)
when editing what do i have to watch out for? --Aincrad1 (talk) 16:39, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Aincrad1: Hi, just make sure you're citing reliable sources, and writing in a neutral point of view. I would also advise staying away from controversial topics, as they sometimes have editing restrictions. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 16:50, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

"Ami Dror"
Draft:Ami Dror

As Israeli, I find it absurde that the English page about this person is defined by you as "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.". Dror is one of the key leaders in Israel, Personaly I'm part of a comunitry of close to 100,000 people that follow him daily on his whatsapp groups. (check is social media) - he is being quated and interviewed almost every day etc etc. https://x.com/faniaoz/status/1771595428573712817?s=20

I edited parts that were wrong, and this page need to be restored ASAP as it makes Wikipedia looks like a political tool which tries to hide the people that are working to change the Israeli goverment.

Thank you, Gili2011 (talk) 07:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Gili2011: Hi, where did I define it as "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia."? The last time I declined it, it was for lack of reliable sources. Please contact the rejecting editor instead. Thanks. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 12:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Review
Hello, would you be able to these articles? They include 'Shastry Viruddh Shastry,' 'UT69,' and 'Fairy Folk.' I've noticed they haven't been reviewed by other users yet, and since you've kindly reviewed two of my previous articles, I thought I'd reach out to you for your insights. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Grabup (talk) 16:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

 * @Grabup: Hi, two (Woh Bhi Din The and The Boys (2024 film)) have already been reviewed by other reviewers.

Question from NotGoingToDoThis (17:55, 16 April 2024)
I'm not sure the edit was done correctly. Senator Blood has always had 3 children in all of her interviews and 11 grandchildren. I'm not sure who is messing with her profile, but that person should likely be blocked? --NotGoingToDoThis (talk) 17:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Growth News, April 2024


The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.

If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Community Configuration
Growth features are currently configurable at. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.

An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.

In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.

Experiment Results
Add a Image experiment analysis results

The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:


 * The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
 * The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
 * The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
 * A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).

Personalized praise experiment results

This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)

English donors encouraged to try editing

As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)

Future work
Annual Plan

The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Anthony Veasna So.webp


A tag has been placed on File:Anthony Veasna So.webp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 04:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Svdpsem (14:10, 22 May 2024)
Hi there, I just created an account on Wikipedia because I would like to either update or request an update to our Wikipedia page regarding the history of our Seminary (St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary). Is that something that we can edit ourselves or something that we need to request? Thank you in advance for your time and help! --Svdpsem (talk) 14:11, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Svdpsem: Hi! Assuming you are related to the Seminary, you have a conflict of interest. It's best that you don't edit the page directly. Instead, you can make an edit request using Edit Request Wizard/COI. Just follow the instructions there, and an editor will review your request eventually. Is the update a simple one or something more substantial? If it's fairly straightforward, I'd be happy to take a look at it. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 15:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
