Backlog update: Technology update: General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
 * 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.
 * Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.

Replaceable fair use File:Carpentier2013.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Carpentier2013.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 11:36, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Copyedit of Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean
Other than a little MOS cleanup I didn't find much to change in Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean. My notes: I can explain the MOS changes if you'd like, but it's just little nit-picky things that most editors shouldn't be bothered with. Interesting read, should be a good DYK. Ping me here if you have any questions or comments. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:12, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * the historic informal name "Columbia". If you want, you can put Columbia in italics instead of double-quotes.  Your choice. (see MOS:WAW - words as words)
 * Is the Arthur Jonston quoted this person: Arthur Johnston (composer)? He would seems to be the right age for The High School Journal, though that's just a guess.
 * I feel it would be good to mention who some of these people are on first mention, for example, "author Arthur Johnston" or "music researcher Arthur Johnston", "musicologist W. H. Grattan Flood" and "librarian William Studwell". The profession shows the reader how the person is an authority on the subject without having to follow the link.
 * as a 12 year-old boy I feel that could be trimmed.

Speedy deletion declined: Post Affiliate Pro
Hello Chetsford, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Post Affiliate Pro, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not promotional enough for G11, consider PROD or AfD. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:32, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

John Hirasaki
Nice timing on John Hirasaki for me. I'm currently reading a book on the Hornet's recovery of Apollo 11, and had planned to add a mention of him in the quarantine portion of the Apollo 11 article; your new article prompted me to do that. TJRC (talk) 03:55, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * TJRC - thanks so much! The article is very embryonic. I hope to fill it out later. Chetsford (talk) 03:57, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, they often start small. One of my earliest contributions was Jack King (NASA), and it never did get very large; but the important stuff is there.
 * Judging from your edit here, it looks like we may both be reading the same book, Moon Men Return. I have Hornet Plus Three sitting next to it, next on my reading list. TJRC (talk) 04:51, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * We are indeed, TJRC! Chetsford (talk) 22:07, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Malicious nominations for deletion
Chetsford, I would greatly appreciate if you did not maliciously nominate my articles for deletion. After I called you out in your attempt to get the Scott Guggenheim page I created deleted, you have gone and proposed 3 of my articles for deletion. You already withdrew one of your nominations after realizing you were wrong. This behavior is really unnecessary. I already pointed out the Wiki guidelines that argue against simply nominating pages for deletion in favor of expanding them and finding more sources. And you are not looking at the actual notability guidelines rather you are favoring your own opinion.Kuching7102 (talk) 21:23, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * While I can't promise you that I won't nominate articles you've created for deletion, you have my personal assurance I will not do so maliciously. Chetsford (talk) 21:28, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * That's good to hear. Evidently we have different opinions about nominating articles for deletion, I would generally give articles the benefit of the doubt whereas you are less forgiving, and I've given you my point of view, so there you go.Kuching7102 (talk) 23:04, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I note your point of view. Chetsford (talk) 04:25, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

"Minor" edits
Just a head-up, you seem to be marking all your edits as "minor," even when they're quite substantial. Help:Minor edit explains when to use the "minor edit" tag; basically for only superficial edits like correcting typos and spelling. TJRC (talk) 05:57, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Are you sure all of my edits are marked as minor? By my count less than half of my edits are marked as minor. I routinely mark edits as minor on articles less than 72 hours old in which no person, other than myself, has edited the page since, in the absence of any other editor working on the page, they "could never be the subject of a dispute" (as per Minor Edit). Chetsford (talk) 06:04, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * My bad on the use of "all"; I was misled by the long string of edits on Helicopter 66 marked minor. Some of them are the minor-marked ones are indeed minor, but many (e.g., , ) are not. Note, they're not objectionable edits; they're just not minor ones. TJRC (talk) 00:03, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Antarctic Treaty issue


The article Antarctic Treaty issue has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Of the thousands of stamps issued by the United States Post Office Department and United States Postal Service, there is nothing special or unique that distinguishes this issue which would warrant a stand-alone stub, not like the 10 US issues that have their own articles (see the United States entries in the List of postage stamps). It merely lists the basic facts and there are no independent third-party reliable source to support anything notable, like a controversy, a printing error, design mistake, or any such thing. It might be suitable for merging into the North Atlantic Treaty article."

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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address 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 articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ww2censor (talk) 10:43, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Outreach and Invitations:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
 * Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
 * If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: . Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive
 * A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
 * Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. —  TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC) 
 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
 * The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.
