Neo-Calvinist Influence on the American Solidarity Party
You mention Neo-Calvinist influence in edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Solidarity_Party&oldid=728992192 I'm not familiar with Neo-Calvinsim. What influences are you aware of? Desmond —Preceding undated comment added 21:25, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anglicanism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King Charles II (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your BS Kenny Britt Edit Removal
He's not a ram, that was a rumor. All I changed was marking him as a free agent, which he is. Source: check any football site. any. My edit stands, and I'm going to remake it. Stop spreading misinformation.

GD 66 b
I see you reverted my conversion of GD 66 b into a redirect. Please note that the object GD 66 b is a non-existent planet, as detailed in the article GD 66, which gives the history of the detection and the reasons why there is no evidence that this system hosts a planet. As such it makes no sense to have an article giving all the information as though this were a real object, it is misleading to readers who might come across it. (Certainly one of the researchers who is involved in this is rather amused that Wikipedia rushed to get an article about this planet up ) I'd nominate it for deletion but as an anonymous user this is impossible for me. 77.56.99.23 (talk) 20:38, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Alan Clark
Hi Anupam. First, congratulations on your dilligence in making extensive contributions to Wikipedia. Second, Alan Clark's infidelities were common knowledge in the UK during his lifetime, and interviewers sometimes pressed him on this matter. (There is a reference to his relationships with the Harknesses elsewhere in the article, and there are brief references to other such relationships in the diaries.) He never attempted to deny what he did. This aspect of his life is one of the things for which he is best remembered; I think that to make mention of his infidelities - especially after his death - comes well within the realm of what is accepted as fair comment within the North American and UK media.

In the strict legal sense, I don't think it's possible to defame the dead. It would be hard to write a meaningful account of the lives of Edward VII or the first Duke of Wellington without making a passing mention of their mistresses, and I think the same is true of Clark. If you think I've overlooked something please let me know. Kind regards, David H. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.245.61 (talk) 21:32, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

God's Not Dead (film)
If you want to participate in the inclusion and exclusion of information in the article, I don't believe it's too much to ask that you participate in the discussion going on on the talk page. Your justification of 'improper synthesis' is both false and not conducive to the production of a good article. MjolnirPants  Tell me all about it.  04:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * You are grossly mischaracterizing what was said in the article in order to argue the point. There was no original research done, there was no synthesis of information, there was simply the presentation of a claim, several sources which support that claim, and several additional sources for good measure. You are reading too much into the edit. Please participate in discussion 'before' blanking sections of the article or making demands upon others to do so. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  04:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * You are continuing to grossly misrepresent what was claimed in the article, what is contained in the sources, and what wikipedia guidelines are regarding the issue. Read WP:SELFSOURCE, pay attention to the notability and credible expertise of the atheist source cited, please perform a careful re-reading of the claims in question and please try to make a case for original research instead of simply repeating the phrase. I have already responded to you on the article's talk page. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  05:03, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Jane Somerville
Hi Anupam, please don't worry about it. I was maybe just being a little impatient myself. It's just that I had only just written the page and not yet inserted the references. It's just that I've had a few negative experiences on here and it's made me a bit defensive. To be honest, I welcome constructive criticism. If you have time you could maybe take a quick look at a couple of my others about which I've had some slights disagreements over notability and references. They are Kevin Howarth and Simon Rumley. But only if you want to, please don't feel obliged. Thanks Picknick99 (talk) 18:21, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Refresher on WP:BLP: "We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources.... Biographies of living persons ("BLP"s) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives..."

Hi Anupam!

???
Reads like an advertisement??? Watchmen Drum and Bugle Corps gives the bare-bones facts of a newborn organization. There is no attempt to sell anything, only to convey a bit of knowledge about the last of the currently active junior drum and bugle corps in North America to have an article in the Wikipedia. Yes, there may be issues with the article, but it is only a stub which still contains more accurate information than many new articles... As the organization ages and progresses, more information will be available to be added, and more references will be cited.

I had hardly posted this article and was searching for the appropriate stub tags, when you jumped in and tagged it for multiple offenses to your ideas of what is right and proper for inclusion in Wikipedia. I have now calmed down enough to refrain from throwing epithets in your direction, but come on... WikiProject Drum Corps was once a flourishing activity on Wikipedia, yet when people posted new articles only to have them almost instantly tagged and deleted for "lack of notability" and sundry other causes, several dozen editors became disenchanted departed Wikipedia in disgust. GWFrog (talk) 05:43, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * You, like several other are under the mistaken impression that Drum Corps International and the organizations that compete under its umbrella are one and the same. This is not now nor has never been the case, much as the teams within any athletic conference or sports league are independent from each other. Each drum corps is an independent organization, except for the four that sponsor more than one corps. Yes, I referred to the corps' webpage and to its Facebook page, but also to DCI, a separate entity, negating your argument that I have used only one source. I had fully expected to use an additional, independent source, but the articles I expected to see with mention of the corps have not yet been published and will be referenced as soon as available.GWFrog (talk) 07:27, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

 Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce

Medical Translation Newsletter

Issue 1, June/July 2014 by CFCF, Doc James

sign up for monthly delivery



This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice. note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine

Spotlight - Simplified article translation

Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.

Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
 * WHO's list of Essential Medicines
 * Neglected tropical diseases
 * Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.

What's happening?

I've () taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year.

See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
 * Wikimania 2014

There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish. What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
 * Integration progress


 * Swedish Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that. Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
 * Dutch Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
 * Polish Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article. (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
 * Arabic The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:
 * Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
 * We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
 * Lastly, why not try and strive to create a good article! Anatomical articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages!

Sorry, we don't have a template for long-standing users! But I'd encourage you to have a look at the project if interested, we're quite active. Thanks for your edits to Anterior interventricular branch of left coronary artery! Cheers, --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:34, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Tumhari haqeeqat

Reliable sources
I make bold to submit something to your attention with no intention to start a discussion about it. If you disagree and even post a reply, I may think it best not to dispute what you say, and simply to accept the fact of your disagreement. You have every right to continue to defend the statements you are insisting on inserting in the Christmastide article. I will correct them only gradually, to enable you to do so. But I ask you here quietly to just consider for yourself the reliability of one sample of the books on which you base statements you are insisting on having in Wikipedia.

A lunar calendar of the kind used by the ancient Greeks, like that still used by Jews, normally has 12 lunar months, but adds every few years an intercalary lunar month, making that year a 13-month year. In such a calendar it is nonsense to speak of a particular date as that fixed for the solstice: only after 19 years will the solstice return to approximately the same day of the same lunar month. Yet in the long quotation that you give, that book states: ''This arrangement became an administrative problem for the Roman Empire as it tried to coordinate the solar Julian calendar with the lunar calendars of its provinces in the east. While the Romans could roughly match the months in the two systems, the four cardinal points of the solar year--the two equinoxes and solstices--still fell on different dates. Even ignoring the Roman solar calendar, they fell in any lunar calendar on a different date each year'' from the year before, and the year after, and the year after that again! What stable lunar calendar date existed for comparison with that in the Roman solar calendar? It goes on: By the time of the first century, the calendar date of the winter solstice in Egypt and Palestine was eleven to twelve days later than the date in Rome. For one thing, Palestine had a lunar calendar and Egypt a very different solar calendar. An "Egypt and Palestine" date is nonsense. As far back as the time of Herodotus, the Greeks explicitly recognized the much greater accuracy of the Egyptian calendar for indicating the length of the real year. In fact the Greek calendar made only a very rough approximation to the length of the real year and for that reason had to be adjusted by adding a whole month every few years, to bring it a bit closer to the length of the real year. Both Greeks and Egyptians knew how to calculate the date on their respective calendars when the solstice was to occur, just as we can calculate the date on our calendar when the solstice will occur. You do know, of course, that in our calendar the December solstice, for instance, is sometimes on 21 December as in 2014 and sometimes on 22 December as in 2015. (I refer to UTC/GMT, of course. In India, it will already be 22 December even this year at the moment of the solstice.)  Since the date of the solstice isn't quite fixed even on our solar calendar, what is this nonsense about a fixed date for it on a lunar calendar, on which it will appear not only on different days of the month but even in different lunar months in successive years? The book goes on: As a result the Incarnation came to be celebrated on different days in different parts of the Empire. The Incarnation, you surely know, is celebrated in March. I presume the writer meant, not the Incarnation, but the Birth of Jesus, which is celebrated in December, close to the date of the December solstice, a practice that began in the West and was only later accepted in the East. The imaginative The Western Church, in its desire to be universal, eventually took them both--one became Christmas, one Epiphany--with a resulting twelve days in between needs no comment except to say it is imaginative. ''Over time this hiatus became invested with specific Christian meaning. The Church gradually filled these days with saints, some connected to the birth narratives in Gospels (Holy Innocents' Day, December 28, in honor of the infants slaughtered by Herod; St. John the Evangelist, "the Beloved," December 27; St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, December 26; the Holy Family, December 31; the Virgin Mary, January 1).'' So, according to this book, what it declares to be a hiatus was filled only in the second half of the 20th century (Feast of the Holy Family, which is celebrated on 31 December only if that day is a Sunday)! And it makes this statement in relation to a Council of Tours held 14 centuries earlier! That council found no 12-day "hiatus" there (as it found no "hiatus" in the whole month of August, even for a single day), except perhaps for 1–3 January, since each day of 25-31 December and 4-6 January was already the feast of a saint, with 1-3 January devoted by earlier decisions (the "Fathers") to be days of penance, and declared by the Council of Tours itself to be days of fasting for monks.

Language-population update project
Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the sigfig template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.

Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

 * Cool. If you check the talk of the category page I linked to above, we're sorting the articles by population, as so far have done everything over 13,000 (about 2/3).  One editor is doing nearly all the work, while I'm spending more time with AIATSIS and ethnic population citations right now.  You might want to check whether they're online, or which chunk they're working on, so there aren't any edit conflicts.  — kwami (talk) 21:11, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Eucharistic Adoration at Yulee UMC.png

Easter egg
Hi there,

I think you almost total reversion at Easter egg was inappropriate, given the nature and scale of the work done. The article as I found it was in a very poor state, with huge WP:UNDUE on the alleged Christian symbolism (which is still there in parts I haven't finished]], poor referencing (almost all of aforementioned symbolism sourced from articles or books which don't meet WP:V standards.

I've reverted to my version, because I think we need to work from there if you have concerns over WP:SYNTH etc.

Large parts of the old article can't really stand.

Let's talk on the article talk page, but i'm pretty certain that this article needs the overhaul. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 08:02, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities and Fellowships


A tag has been placed on Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities and Fellowships requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.catholicfraternity.org/about.php?lang=en. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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. — Diannaa (talk) 21:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

United Methodist Issues
Hi! I am glad other contributors/users are working to help improve pages for denominations and provide accurate information. While much of the condensing you contributed was accurate, some of the wordage could be interpreted as one-sided or even offensive. First, trans* people do not refer to themselves with 'transgenderism' so that is not accurate or suitable. Secondly, official statements from Annual Conferences, Committees, and official agencies are official of the policies and positions of those Conferences and denominational organizations. For example, more than 18 Annual Conferences support same-gender marriage and that should be included in any discussion on differing views in the denomination. SeminarianJohn (talk) 08:17, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, you added a statement that states that the UMC does not give funds to LGBT causes and, while in a limited sense that is accurate, that does not also include information that congregations and conferences can, and do, give funds to those groups. While this is only one example, Foundry United Methodist Church regularly holds capital campaigns for Gay Pride.(Pride 2016 Foundry United Methodist Church) If a larger example can be found, do you think that could be included?

Scapular of Our Lady of Walsingham
Hi there, I was wondering whether you have any sources (including informal/anecdotal) on the Scapular of Our Lady of Walsingham aside from the ones you give in the article. The reason I ask is that your sources do not support the present tense of the article.

I myself am a member of the Society of Our Lady of Walsingham and, contrary to the claim in the article, the Society does not invest one in the scapular on joining. Indeed, I cannot find any evidence to suggest that this scapular is still in use - all mentions of the scapular's existence seem to date from the early 20th century. The more recent sources you give in the article do not mention the scapular, so the article violates WP:SYNTH to a large extent.

If I am right and this scapular is extinct, the article ought to be rewritten to reflect this. It would also be worthwhile to find out when it fell out of use and why, and to incorporate this information into the article.--Newbiepedian (talk · contribs · X! · logs) 03:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:08, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion nomination of To the Wind and On To Heaven
Hello Anupam. Speedy deletion work is important and I do appreciate the effort. I would just ask that you please review the criteria carefully because accuracy is also important. On that issue, I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of To the Wind and On To Heaven as an article that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the topic under CSD A7. That criterion did not apply because the article was about an album, and A7 only applies to articles on real persons or groups, individual animals, organisations, web content and organised events. Albums come under A9, but that also did not apply because it is only for articles on musical recordings where none of the contributing recording artists has an article.

 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

New Page Review - newsletter No.2
Hello , We now have New Page Reviewers! Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October. The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work! It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to. Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten. This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody,  and
 * A HUGE backlog

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4
Hello ,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just reviews, the  backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Thanks and need for sources
Hi Anupam, Many thanks for your help at Criticism of Protestantism!! As regards those who believe in the real presence I had to tweak it a bit, given some research I did in the net, and also since your sources didn't really say "majority". The source I got is not really that good but it actually says "most". I suggest we keep on looking. Thanks. Marax (talk) 12:12, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Anupam, thanks again for all your help, and your latest note. :) The present numbers come from Gordon-Conwell, which I believe has great prominence among Protestants and therefore, in my opinion, abides by the wp reliable sources: http://www.gordonconwell.edu/academics/Faculty.cfm Hope this is ok.

 * Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: 
 * On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.

The Shina language and Devanagari
Hi! In this addition to Shina language you cite Cardona's book for the use of the Devanagari script for the language. I've had a look at the book (to be precise, the 2003 version, which afaik should be identical in content to the 2007 reprint that you cite), and I wasn't able to verify that. On the page cited (947) there's no discussion of Shina at all: the page is about passives in Kashmiri. There is a little paragraph elsewhere (p. 823, which according to the index is the only passage that discusses the writing system of Shina) and the only thing it mentions in connection with Devanagari is that it was proposed in the 1970s by Rajapurohit for the Darsi variety. Is there any way you could double check this was the exact book you meant to cite there? Many thanks! – Uanfala 22:08, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Eucharist ordering
Hi Anupam, Just for you to understand my edit. The starting sentence on the eucharist was the abandonment of apostolic succession because it links up with the previous last sentence of the previous section on apostolic succession being abandoned.

Also as I wrote in the edit summary, the whole article is on criticism, thus a reader looking for this won't understand why the first paragraph on the eucharist is just an exposition of various doctrines on the eucharist.

Methodist faith and works
Hi Anupam, I just checked the article on Methodism and it actually says: They are "justified by faith alone" - and this is based on the works of Wesley himself. Works of piety are points emphasized but sola fide is still the ruling principle. Marax (talk) 10:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Anupam, thanks for your reply. I think we need to summarize this quote, since the sola fide section is quite long.


 * Faith is necessary to salvation unconditionally. Good works are necessary only conditionally, that is if there is time and opportunity. The thief on the cross in Luke 23:39-43 is Wesley's example of this. He believed in Christ and was told, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise." This would be impossible if the good works that are the fruit of genuine repentance and faith were unconditionally necessary for salvation. The man was dying and lacked time; his movements were confined and he lacked opportunity. In his case, faith alone was necessary. However, for the vast majority of human beings good works are necessary for continuance in faith because those persons have both the time and opportunity for them

I propose:


 * Faith is necessary to salvation unconditionally, since the good thief was saved even without though he didn't have time to do any good works. Good works are necessary only conditionally, that is if there is time and opportunity, which is true for the vast majority.

Bhat
Hi Anupam, can you take another look at this edit? Your edit summary says you were restoring the lead, but a lot of the body was also changed and, as far as I can see, the new content is a lot worse. The citations seem clobbered as well. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 22:08, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Dear User:Kautilya3, thank you for your message on my talk page. If you look at the talk page history, the edit diff you linked only provides my initial restoration. I then tidied the rest of the article, including restoring deleted content, here. AnupamTalk 01:04, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, before you started editing there was a claim about the "Dogra Hindu regime" sourced to Rekha Chowdhary. Your edits somehow changed it to "Dogra Hindu rulers" sourced to somebody called Arvin Bahl, published by Atlantic. In the latest version, Rekha Chowdhary is completely gone, and three other sources have come in which don't have anything to do with the content. Moreover, the dubious claims are repeated in the Punjab section too. The best version seems to be the one before you got involved. Is there any reason why we can't go back to it?
 * This is supposed to be a list page, basically. Contentious aspects of Kashmir history should not be buried in here. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 06:24, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Catholic sisters today do not like to be called nuns; the distinction has become so wide that I considered creating a separate page for Catholic sisters and moving some of the material on them from "Nun" to there. With the "sister" category overtaking that of "nun" in the modern Catholic church, would you think it helpful to have a separate article on Catholic sisters?

Project Tiger Writing Contest
In 2017 – 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) and user groups from India, are piloting a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program will (a) support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and (b) sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

Phase (a) has been completed, during which active contributors were awarded laptops and internet stipends. Phase (b) will be a contest in which editors will come together and develop a writing contest focused on content gaps. Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to each community based on their contribution for the month. The prizes worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR, will be awarded to the top contributors for each month. The contest started at March 1, 2018, 0:00, and will end at May 31, 2018, 23:59 (IST).

Did You Know Nominated by The C of E

... that some people know Christ the Lord is risen today from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?"

Featured article Nominated by FutureTrillionaire

Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah.

The City And The City (TV series)
Please stop messing about with this page. Your latest is now the second time my work has been lost in an edit conflict. The In Creation tag is there for a reason; please respect it. Thank you. Swanny18 (talk) 21:23, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

And again: Are you going to let me write this, or are you going to do it your bloody self? Swanny18 (talk) 21:29, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Reply to talk page message: As a new page reviewer, then you should be aware of the NPP guideline that says you should wait at least 15 minutes before editing a new page, to avoid this very problem. That is what the In Creation tag is for. And I think it is just as rude to trash someone else's work, not once but twice, without explanation. So, can I get on, or are we going to be edit scuffling over this all night? Swanny18 (talk) 21:35, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * To respond to your guideline-bombing of my talk page, and to be clear (as you seemed oblivious as to what the offence was): My reference to your “trashing my work” was that, after adding the section, then previewing and correcting it for a couple of minutes, my work was then lost when I came to save it to the article, due to in an edit conflict caused because you had added half a line of text to the page. And this happened not once, but twice, the second time after I'd asked you to stop. Would you welcome someone leaning over your shoulder to add a bit to a report/essay/letter/poem/doodle/shopping list you were writing, while you were still writing it?
 * Second, the 15 minute delay just being “with respect to tagging an article for deletion”; that's a bit WP:WLlegalistic, isn't it? It stands to reason that a page with only one paragraph on might not be finished, especially if the editor has taken the precaution of posting one of the “hang on a bit” templates: and anyway the In Creation template suggests up to half-hour, not just 15 minutes.
 * So, this was me asking everyone to refrain from editing while I'm working, and this was you telling me to bugger off (twice!); which of us was being uncivil there?
 * And no, I don't think I own the page; after I'd finished what I was doing you (and anyone else) were welcome to do what you like with it.
 * Also, I am familiar enough with article categorization, thanks, as you would have seen had you waited half-an-hour or so.
 * As for assuming good faith, I can do that; but I'd also like to assume common sense, particularly from someone who's been entrusted with reviewing new pages. The only reason to be looking at a new page three minutes after it's been posted is to see if it needs immediate attention (attack pages, copyright violations, etc) otherwise it is only common sense to leave it alone until it is finished before chipping in with what is missing. And I can't see any reason at all for ignoring a hang-on-a-bit request (outwith those circumstances) if it is still within the time frame.
 * I'm sure you have your own view of this matter, and hold out very little hope that you will take note of this, but if we are going back to the days of New Page Patrollers playing Splat-the-Rat with articles, then it needs saying. Swanny18 (talk) 01:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for looking at the heresy list article. Just as an FYI, I did change your addition citing Benedict XVI: the book was written in 1993, long before the person of Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope Benedict XVI. Normally sources make the distinction, and the book was published under that name originally. Most of the time the reprints include the Benedict name as a marketing tactic by the publisher, not as an actual change of authorship status. Not a big deal, but wanted to let you know in case you come across any pre-2005 Ratzinger. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:37, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Lutherans and images
Hi, I think the line you are pushing in various articles misrepresents the equivocal attitude to images than Lutherans have had, going back to Luther himself. It is as easy to assemble hostile remarks by Luther on images as positive ones, and the plain fact is that Lutheran churches saw almost as big a clear-out of pre-Reformation Catholic art as Calvinist ones, with any replacement of works very slow and patchy. You should also be careful about attributing theological positions to large groups of the population in the 16th century. Although the lay public took a much greater interest in such things than even regular church-goers do today, most uneducated people could not have articulated clearly their thoughts on such matters. General sources on these issues should be treated with some caution - recent work by specialists will typically be much more nuanced. This is an interesting article on Lutheran attitudes at various periods, which gives a more balanced perspective. Also this. Johnbod (talk) 13:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Project News By

Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost.

The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

Achievements

Four articles in the Project were promoted to GA: Edict of Torda nom. by, Jim Bakker nom. by, Ralph Abernathy nom. by and Psalm 84 nom. by. The Psalm ends with "O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee." Words to live by. Please support our members and send some WikiLove to the nominators!

Featured article Nominated by Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five&mdash;Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian&mdash;were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. (more...)

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.

 * 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.

Did You Know Nominated by

... that in 1636, Phineas Hodson, Chancellor of York Minster, lost his 38-year-old wife Jane during the birth of the couple's 24th child?

Featured article Nominated by The Mortara case was a controversy precipitated by the Papal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in Bologna, Italy, in 1858. The city's inquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but Pope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the unification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.

Our newest Featured list Nominated by List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Christian Era. Most predictions are related to Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ.

Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. (more...)

Revertions of Editor2020
Hi, I see that you praised reversions made by Editor2020 here. I wanted to ask you how do you see his recent reversion of my editing Reverted edits by Quodvultdeus Have I done something so wrong that without even a word he just reverted it? What do you think?--Quodvultdeus (talk) 14:26, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

<div style="font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 90%;"> By

WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline.

At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red."

Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by 

Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey. The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:


 * 53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
 * "Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
 * "Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."

In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here. (Discuss this story)

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.

 * The Signpost
 * The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters.

User:Ibn Juferi and Menj sock puppet investigation
Hi Anupam, I recently noticed that a user named Ibn Juferi has been re-adding the Bismika Allahuma link to the article Nabeel Qureshi (author). Since this was something convicted sockpuppeter Menj often did I was wondering if it was worth investigating and adding to Sockpuppet investigations/Menj. Thanks Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 01:52, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Anupam. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. The conflict of interest guideline (see WP:PAY) strongly discourages paid contributors from directly editing articles. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:50, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

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.

Question about talk page for new disambig
Hi Anupam,

thank you for reviewing my newly created Gramme (disambiguation)! I also noticed you created a talk page for that article. As far as I understand the documentation Template:WikiProject Disambiguation (see footnote 1 there), this talk page should not have been created? I've created a lot of disambig pages recently, therefore I'm interested in this topic.

Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.
 * Backlog


 * 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.

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.

File permission problem with File:Chancel of Trinity Lutheran Church on Easter Sunday.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Chancel of Trinity Lutheran Church on Easter Sunday.jpeg, which you've attributed to ticket 2018040510011652, which does not contain acceptable evidence of permission. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

You are Welcome Sir. That user Blamen1 is in the talk page but another Blamen2 has deleted the Minahan source from the article. Blamen2 got indefed. Seems sock puppetry. This Blamen2 also deleted the complaint here. Can a non-admin do that?

That Blamen2 was Nsmutte also imitating Bonadea who pointed it out on Fylind's complaint.

But, I was hoping you could have a relook at Minahan at least once. Reporting some details also reported by others can't correct the flaws. I think you already know about his wrong characterization of Arab & Ghaznavid invasions, plus timelines not backed up by historical facts.

Most importantly Minahan was characterizing Nuristaini faith, not that of the Kalash for which you used him. Blamen1 (talk) 10:49, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello ,


 * News
 * The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.


 * Discussions of interest
 * Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
 * db-blankdraft was merged into G13 (Discussion)
 * A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
 * There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.


 * Reminders
 * NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD  because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

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

Featured article Nominated by Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene. (more...) Help wanted We're looking for writers to contribute to Ichthus.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Hi. I see in a recent addition to Ordination of women in the Anglican Communion you included material copied from Ordination of women in Protestant denominations. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying within Wikipedia in the future. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:29, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

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.

The Top 6 Articles By

A suicide attack on July 11th claimed by Islamic State (IS) near a church in the Syrian city of Qamishli shows that Christians remain a major target of the terror group. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were: <ol style="margin-left: -2.0em;"> </ol> Did You Know? Nominated by ... that The Vision of Dorotheus is one of the earliest examples of Christian hexametric poetry?
 * 1) Henry VIII of England – King of England, He was an accomplished musician, author, and poet; his known piece of music is "Pastime with Good Company". He is often reputed to have written "Greensleeves" but probably did not. He had six marriages.
 * 2) Elena Cornaro Piscopia – was a Venetian philosopher of noble descent who in 1678 became one of the first women to receive an academic degree from a university, and the first to receive a Doctor of Philosophy degree. In 1669, she translated the Colloquy of Christ by Carthusian monk Lanspergius from Spanish into Italian.
 * 3) Mary, Queen of Scots – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC), Mary was found guilty of plotting to assassinate Elizabeth I of England in 1586, and was beheaded the following year.
 * 4) Bob Dylan – American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist. " Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them."

 * 6) Billy Ray Cyrus – Having released 12 studio albums and 44 singles since 1992, he is best known for his number one single "Achy Breaky Heart", which became the first single ever to achieve triple Platinum status in Australia.

Featured article Nominated by When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.

The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals. (more...) Help wanted We're looking for writers to contribute to Ichthus.

Proposed deletion of File:Vettery Logo.jpg


The file File:Vettery Logo.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused logo, c:File:Vettery logo.png is of better quality"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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.

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. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

 * Getting the queue to 0
 * Coordinator
 * This month's refresher course
 * 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.

First, in this edit, I wonder whether the phrase "Perfect love, as Christian perfect is often called" is right. Did the source say perhaps "as Christian perfection is often called"? I can't check your reference.

Second, in this edit, I don't understand the sentence: Irenaeus wrote about the spiritual transformation that occurred in the believer as the Holy Spirit is to "fit us for God."

It doesn't seem to be grammatical. Can you tell me what you meant? Should it perhaps say: Irenaeus wrote that the spiritual transformation occurring in the believer was a work of the Holy Spirit to "fit us for God."

Thanks. Please Ping me when you answer. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:11, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by avant garde artist Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers Lancelot Andrewes, Dante Alighieri and St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of anti-Semitism on Eliot's part. (more...)

- Quotes "Faith lived in the incognito is one which is located outside the criticism coming from society, from politics, from history, for the very reason that it has itself the vocation to be a source of criticism. It is faith (lived in the incognito) which triggers the issues for the others, which causes everything seemingly established to be placed in doubt, which drives a wedge into the world of false assurances." ~ Jacques Ellul French philosopher, sociologist, and professor who was a noted Christian anarchist. - - WikiProject Christianity Ichthus is published by WikiProject Christianity <span style="">© Copyleft 2020 Questions • Discussions • Newsroom • Unsubscribe Sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:27, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
