New Page Review newsletter December 2019


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks mate!
Hello Blythwood. Thanks for your work on linking Commons to Wikidata for a bunch of plant photos I've uploaded. I can see I need to expand my skill set. Happy New Year to you. Gderrin (talk) 09:32, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing!
Dear Blythwood,

Thanks for reviewing Clay chemistry. It is indeed just my second new page at Wiki and I agree it could profit from more detail. I hope soon I will be able to contribute more to it, since it is one of my specialty fields... In the meantime, please continue with the good work, and let me know if you have any more feedback! cheers,

Thanks for the input!
Thank you for the input!

I am planning on building the barium stannate article up over the next few weeks, and I just wanted to play around with the editor to get a feel for it.

I will make sure to add citations as I go in the future.

Thanks!

Michael
 * Thanks - hope you enjoy editing on here! I don't know anything about semiconductor chemistry myself, so I've tagged the article to come under WikiProject Chemistry and added categories so that any specialists interested get to see it. I recommend using your sandbox for drafting articles. Anyway, all the best. Blythwood (talk)
