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.

Gutnau Monastery
If you have anything to offer for this article, please help out. The German article wasn't great, and I'm sure my translation is no better--and of course there were no footnotes... Thanks, Dr Aaij (talk) 14:20, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted because...the subject of importance has not been officially codified by Wikipedia itself, but by a group of editors. The qualifications are murky at best and do not clearly outline what dictates "importance". Also, how does one determine importance without creating bias? The article is referenced and is an important part of the local arts community here in Spokane, WA. This deletion is arbitrary at best. Please reconsider.

I will refer to the 'Credible claim of significance': "Two, if there is no evident claim of significance in the article, check the references provided within the article. If the references within the article discuss the subject or provide a possible claim of significance as discussed in #1 above, then too the A7, A9 and A11 tags should not be applied. For example, if the new article contains just one line: "John Doe is a fitness trainer", the initial view might be that there is no claim of significance. But if the sources in the same article discuss the subject, chances are, more coverage may exist; and in this case too, the A7, A9 and A11 tags should generally not be applied (except when it's clear that this is all the coverage this subject will ever get)."

The references I cited include more information about the Richmond Art Collective than a simple statement of its existence. There is a fair amount of coverage on this organization and I think it should be reinstated. Lyra11 (talk) 00:55, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thanks for the super-speedy reviews. Is there any chance you could take a look at Draft:Sayh Mudayrah? No biggie, but it's been languishing in the dank, moody miasma of draftspace for a while now... Best

So that's a double thank you, then! :) Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:48, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018
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.

To reply, leave a comment on Insertcleverphrasehere's talk page.

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018
Hello ,

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

See also the list of top100 reviewers.

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

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

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minutevideo was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system.

Lisa Aspinwall
Hi, I created Lisa Aspinwall and used details from a publicly posted CV for career history, then realized it was probably not information that should be used in that way.

I appreciate the note; do you have thoughts on how to remedy this situation? Are there any circumstances in which a CV could be used? She was previously redlinked but is not hugely famous, so I wanted to create a basic page for her that can be contributed to further (but there are limited sources available). Thanks! Merlin of the Mountain (talk) 08:53, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Merlin of the Mountain, what I suggest is to use publicly available reliable sources as the references, like newspapers, academic journals, publications. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * So in this case there aren't newspaper articles about her that mention that information, and her journal articles and publications don't have career history. (there aren't many available sources, since she isn't hugely famous, as I said). Do I just remove the career history? It seems important. Merlin of the Mountain (talk) 09:10, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

ç|D. L. Narasimhachar Page
Greetings. I recently created a page on a renowned Kannada language Professor, writer, lexicographer, Grammarian and Editor who passed away in 1971. He authored close to four books, hundred articles, numerous essays and edited ten volumes. He is widely quoted by Kannada language experts even to this day in South of India. I have sufficed about thirty references (many from WorldCat) for veracity. Additionally, I have sufficed a Bibliography section with detailed links to pages from JSTOR and the like. Group Photographs from 1930s - 1960s clearly show the personality with his fellow colleagues. As far as possible, I have kept the tone and tenor of the article "neutral" and encyclopedic in character. Could you be kind enough to "review" the article and (if found satisfactory) make it "searchable" on leading Search Engines thus enabling lovers of Kannada Language and Kannada Literature a glimpse at this intellectual giant's life and contributions. I am happy to effect any changes you may feel warranted. Kind Regards, Bugs2beatles 14:34, 6 February 2019 (UTC) Bugs2beatles

NPR Newsletter No.17


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.


 * NPP Tools Report
 * Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
 * copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
 * The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Samira Saraya
Samira is a Palestinian - which is an ethnic group. The term "Israeli Arab" is considered insulting and is to be avoided. The link - Arab citizens of Israel is more accurate - but it is a status description, not an identity. The Arab citizens of Israel include Druze, Palestinians, and several other ethnic groups, so on its own it doesn't say much. Please change this bad edit (also edited to be grammatically incorrect, which is how good an edit it was...). Thanks! TMagen (talk) 19:58, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * HiTMagen. I will allow myself to disagree with you. "Israeli Arab" is identity, not considered an insult and there is no consensus that it should be avoided.

 * As people called that say it is insulting, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - what is the point of being intentionally insulting? However, there is no argument that she is ethnically Palestinian...? TMagen (talk)
 * TMagen Ethnically she is Arab. Cheers. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 20:31, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * LOL, maybe you need to read Wikipedia? Palestinians are an ethnicity. I'm not sure what your agenda is, but you are muddying a very clear picture. "Arab" can also mean someone from a different continent - Palestinian is very specific, it is unclear why you are objecting to this. TMagen (talk) 20:39, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Lets discuss this on the talk page of an article. I don't feel comfortable talking about agendas. Cheers. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 20:44, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your review of the Michal Marek article. I have more to add to this once I start getting into journals, but I have added a note on the talk page, stating how the article now meets the requirements you added; if you agree then please remove the fix tags on the article.

George A. Tomasso
Hi Arthistorian1977,

I’m curious as to why you nominated George A. Tomasso for speedy deletion rather than deletion. Did you do WP:BEFORE? Horse Eye Jack (talk) 17:43, 23 May 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.

 * Wow - that automated message is a bit unfriendly! I've never done that before, and wasn't expecting it to send you this message; since it has, I thought I'd better explain myself. I thought the refs in the article failed to establish notability - it was the author's website, and a very brief review on PW - not enough in my eyes to get over the line on WP:NBOOK. I did a quick check for better sourcing, and nothing was jumping out at me, but I haven't done a thorough BEFORE, so have tagged and marked as unreviewed rather than sending to AfD. Let me know if you disagree - if I get round to doing a proper search and mark for deletion, I'll let you know.
