New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
Hello , Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by  and  with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of, and also some patches from , has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Request on 09:12:05, 11 June 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Lacuna Leemte
Lacuna Leemte (talk) 09:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Hallo,

I wrote the article for the Dutch Wikipedia and had it translated by a native English speaker. In the meantime, I have deleted a lot and re-edited the article completely at the request of the reviewers.

In Dutch the artikcle looks completely different, but it makes sense, because there is also a lot written about his hometown Roeselare.

I also removed some primary sources and added reliable secondary sources, totally independent of the subject. The article now contains at least 15 reliable secondary sources that are 100% about Kristof Santy, and abolutely no "just passing mentions".

Most of them are Dutch-language sources, especially newspapers, magazines, the Belgian Radio (VRT) and leading art websites in Belgium. I hope “Reliable" applies also to sources in another language and from foreign countries. The sources that one finds depend in part on the language settings of the PC.  I can't find any English newspaper articles.

Kristof Santy is a rising star, who exhibits a lot in England, USA and Austria and gets very good reviews. That's why I published the translated article on the en.wikipedia, which is the first time. I don't have a personal connection with the artist, I just write continuously about art on the Dutch wikipedia and I am actually writing about contemporary Belgian artists, after a serie about contemporary American artists.

I hope it's all right now. If not, just scrap it. I have done everything that is asked and what is possible for me. Sorry, but I don't want to spend any more time on it. Lacuna Leemte (talk) 09:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Lacuna Leemte, Dutch-language sources are fine, but from what I could see they were mostly interviews, which aren't great for establishing notability (see WP:INTERVIEW). But perhaps I'm missing something – what would you say is the single best source that establishes notability (either WP:ANYBIO or WP:NARTIST)? – bradv  01:42, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can’t agree with your assertion. I know the standards. The references include 6 interviews, 13 articles, 1 encyclopedia and 1 primary source. That is a healthy mix that I encounter in the many en.wikipedia articles  I have translated and used for the wikipedia.nl. I have now listed the different kinds  for each reference, so you can easily check for yourself. Lacuna Leemte (talk) 07:18, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
