Do Not Delete Robert Brizel
'Do Not Delete Robert Brizel I am one of Wikipedia's principal boxing writers, photographers and contributors. I get millions of hits each day on my Saddoboxing website. In another smile of WIki stupidity, some dodo deleted my Henry Hascup boxing historian) entry on Wikipedia, citing my own article on my own site as a a copyrighjt infringement of myself! In fact, Wiki was written first, and my Saddoboxing article on Hascup was written thereafter. Many of articles are written specifically to provide Wiki references when no other sources are available......Robert
 * Sorry Robert, whether or not it is deleted isn't up to me. I only brought up the fact that there were no independent sources on the article. It looks like a lot of people have been sending you links and giving advice on how to show notability so you'd be better off asking for help from them; I'm still pretty new here. Comatmebro (talk) 06:10, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Acknowledged, thanks. Presently my main focus is covering boxing events as a well known boxing reporter, I just don't have more time for Wiki.. I appreciate your kind words, though. Thanks....Robert

speedy deletion nomination of Koninklijke Oost- en Westvlaamsche Kring
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I removed your speedy deletion nomination for Koninklijke Oost- en Westvlaamsche Kring.

How are you?
Hey, you've stopped asking me questions, so I guess you are all good with Wikipedia now! How have you been generally?! Kinkreet ~&#9829;moshi moshi&#9829;~ 20:22, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Haha, I'm definitely getting better with Wikipedia but don't get too comfortable because I'm sure I'll come to you with more questions. I've been pretty busy with exams and papers so I haven't been able to edit as much, but I'm gonna start getting after it again soon. Generally, aside from being busy, I've been great! It was nice of you to check in on me. I feel special :) How have you been doing? Have you learned any new cool stuff around here lately?   Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 02:37, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL. "exams and papers", sound just like me (when you say paper, do you mean just reading it, or do you mean writing it, what field are you in if you don't mind me asking). I have to read a 13-page paper about Get3, probably make a Wikipedia page on it after. I guess a lot of Wikipedians are busy around this time of year. Otherwise I have been good as well! Just wanted to make sure you're OK, glad you are. Good luck with exams and papers! Kinkreet ~&#9829;moshi moshi&#9829;~ 10:45, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I actually do have another question (see I told you I would). I've used the lists with 'all articles needing copyedit' and 'all articles needing to be wikified' to find pages to work on.  Do you know if there's a place to find all of those kind of lists; The ones that show of all pages with a certain kind of tag on them?  I'd like to look through those because they're a great source for finding pages to fix, and that way I can learn some different ways to contribute too.   Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 23:25, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikification of Wilton Lackaye
I noticed that you marked that you had Wikified Wilton Lackaye; however, a review of the article shows that the Wikification was incomplete. Particularly the article was missing a large number of Wikilinks that should have been added. Adding Wikilinks is generally the primary aspect of Wikification; although, adding section headings, persondata, infoboxes, and wiki markup are still important. Ryan Vesey Review me!  05:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for the heads up. I normally add wikilinks as part of wikifying but I must have just not noticed the lack of them on this particular page. Probably because it didn't have a ton of content.  I'll pay more attention to that on the next ones, thanks.  Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 00:37, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Deprod of The Fire Engines
I have removed your proposed deletion tag from this article because your rationale of "Non-notable myspace band" was, to be frank, ridiculous. Please read up on what proposed deletion is for and our notability guidelines for music topics before making any further deletion nominations. Thanks. --Michig (talk) 07:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That message seems a bit harsh. Whatever happened to wp:AGF? I was focusing mainly on sourcing when I was checking for notability. Out of the 4 sources on the page, 2 were Myspace pages and 1 was a blog. Most of the results from searching the band name were youtube videos or pages that just list the albums. Based on that and the fact that none of the individual band members were notable, I thought it didn’t pass notability guidelines. I didn’t realize that the notability guidelines for music were less strict than others, so I will look over the guideline more closely, but I don’t think it was “ridiculous” to think that band might not be notable.  Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 16:42, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The Fire Engines - a band that had hit albums/singles in 1980/81, with lots of coverage out there (e.g. ). Myspace - a website launched in 2003. There was already an Allmusic link in the external links that amply demonstrated that the band passes several of our notability criteria, such as releases on important independent labels, and at least one of the members is individually notable - we just don't have articles on them yet. AGF is all well and good, but we get articles deleted because people make snap judgments on articles, and I pointed this out in the hope that it won't happen again. How any band from the early 1980s can be a 'Myspace band' is beyond me, that's what I found ridiculous. Regards. --Michig (talk) 17:26, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I made a mistake. I apologize. I always learn from mistakes so you can be assured that it won't happen again. Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 17:30, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Happy editing. --Michig (talk) 18:34, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Va Vai Va
Hello Comatmebro. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Va Vai Va, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A9 does not apply if the artist has an article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:03, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * OK no problem. That one I was a little confused by because the reference given went to a diff artist than the one listed on the page. I should have just used the A7 tag. Looks like it was made into a redirect anyways which is good. Thanks for letting me know. Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 05:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Removed your edit
You added the following, uncited, to the Human rights in Tunisia page on August 10:

'''The authorities have tight restrictions on freedom of expression, association and assembly, and government critics are harassed, threatened and imprisoned. Former political prisoners are also harassed, intimidated and subject to restrictions. Torture and other ill-treatment in police stations and prisons are reported. People prosecuted under the anti-terrorism law are sentenced to long prison terms after unfair trials. Death sentences are to be imposed, but the government maintains a moratorium on executions. '''

I found the following in the 2011 Amnesty report:

'''The authorities maintained tight restrictions on freedom of expression, association and assembly, and government critics continued to be harassed, threatened and imprisoned. Former political prisoners were also harassed, intimidated and subject to restrictions. Torture and other ill-treatment in police stations and prisons were reported. People prosecuted under the anti-terrorism law were sentenced to long prison terms after unfair trials. Death sentences continued to be imposed, but the government maintained a moratorium on executions.'''

Your addition has been removed.

I've looked through your contributions and they're just loaded with copyright violations. Maybe you weren't aware of what that means, but you need to check this page and the Terms of Use, then fix all of these... if it means deleting them, then fine.

Please don’t do template edits beyond your level of competence
You recently added a Reflist tag to the Pussy Riot member template (which was not intended to have a reflist) without bothering to check what it would look like on the pages transcluding it (which have their own reflists). While this fixed the error notice when viewing the template directly, it caused style/layout errors on the including pages that induced other editors to remove the reference to this template entirely without checking. Fixing all this took more work than I should have had to do. In the future, please learn what the  and   tags do before making edits that require their use.

A question
Hello Comatmebro!

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --216.59.202.242 (talk) 06:22, 28 January 2014 (UTC) I want to write a page about a person that when I went to the chat room everyone agree he was note worthy. Over the 30+ year Reggie Foutain started a company of his namesake. Has personally won 100s of races. Hold the water off shore speed record for v bottom racing boats (177mph). Is a living legend in the power boat arena and is about to have a 40 year biography released about him. His competitor Don Aranow has a wiki page and he's been dead for over a decade. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Aronow Google Reggie Fountain articles and you will get over 20 years of news to cite. There are dozens of YouTube interviews and racing clips to support his achievements. Do not because of me being a novice at writing a wiki page delete or discredit a man worth being written about on many topics. Instead of easily dismissing or deleting (lazy way out) why not encourage people that want to contribute actually notable person the correct way to submit, Thank you, Ryteme — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryteme (talk • contribs) 06:31, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi there. it wasn't my intention to upset you by nominating the Reggie Fountain article for WP:CSD, so for that I apologize. I understand adding material to wikipedia can be difficult. If the statements you make are true, that by googling Reggie Fountain I can find articles about him, I suggest you take some time to read over the Wikipedia guidelines for creating the biography of a living person. These guidelines can be found at the following links: WP:BLP WP:Afc WP:REF. Like your chat room came to the consensus that Reggie Fountain was notable and worthy of a wikipedia page, "our chat room" (or the editors here at wikipedia) has come to the consensus that certain criteria need to be met in order to have a page posted on this website. I hope you take the time to review the links I've attached, and I would be happy to help edit Mr. Fountains page the next time you decide to create it. Best, Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 19:35, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Some days ago you improved my article 'Hans Rudolf Thull'. Thank you for your help as I am not so experienced in wikipedia yet.

So please allow one question: In its top the article is still qualified as a "new unreviewed article" that should be "reviewed by someone other than its creator ". So do you know how to find someone to review my article? Or can even you do such a review?

Thank you very much for your help!

WaldeBeck (talk) 19:48, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello WaldeBeck! The "new unreviewed article" tag will be removed when more editors have gotten a chance to look over your newly uploaded article. An editor could remove the new unreviewed article tag and give the article different, more specific tags relating to the content of your article. Right now I would hold off on removing the unreviewed article tag (although the article looks pretty good from what I've seen) and give it at least one month from when you uploaded the article before removing it. I will keep my eye on the page, and if it hasn't been removed in the next couple of weeks I will remove it for you. Happy thanksgiving! Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 20:06, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Chikara Season One
Hi! Thank you for reviewing Chikara Season One. I appreciate your feedback.

Chikara Season One is one topic and is related to Chikara. If I was to break it into sections, it would be choppy and possibly confuse the reader, as many different stories are being told within the course of one year. The stories are often intertwined and interconnected, adding another difficulty to adding sections. I will not be adding sections, but I did update and shorten the introductory paragraph per your suggestion.

Thanks again, Babs BabsChikara (talk) 01:05, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi BabsChikara . I just wanted to give you a heads up that creating the page for Chikara, and having your user name and information be solely dedicated to your work with Chikara, is a clear violation of WP:COI. The page I just linked notes, "when advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest." Your profile content reads, "BabsChikara (also known as just Babs) is the creatrix, hostess, editor, and producer of CHIKARA in 15 Minutes or Less, a weekly CHIKARA/Wrestling is news podcast. She also created, maintains, and produced the UStream channel, The CHIKArmed Forces Network, to stream #IAmCHIKARA rallies and other events. In addition, she is a writer and maintains the website Writing Femme." It is clear to me from your personal page that you have a vested interest in seeing Chikara promoted via wikipedia. While I do not have any intentions of deleting your articles, someoneelse will surely figure this out and suggest that your articles be deleted. I suggest you read up on the wikipedia policies regarding WP:neutrality and tailor your personal page and the pages you have written regarding CHIKARA accordingly.

Best, Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 19:12, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I put that there to let the audience know that I am subject expert, rather than just a random fan. I do not work for the company. I am very sorry that you misinterpreted the purpose of my profile. I am interested providing accurate and detailed information on CHIKARA, which is a valid and worthwhile subject. I will put that disclaimer in my profile, so it is clear. My entries are full of information that can be verified through independent sources and are not trying to sway anyone to a particular opinion. BabsChikara (talk) 03:20, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
 * By no means did I mean to discredit your knowledge of the subject, or the notability of the subject, with that comment. Like i said it is not my intention to remove any of your posts. I simply wanted to give you a heads up regarding some of the rules of wikipedia that some people may not be all to familiar with. I think if you read WP::COI you will see where I am coming from in regards to the issues between the articles you wrote and your personal page. I think putting a disclaimer on your profile is a great idea and doing that should prevent anyone from deleting your post. Best, Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 05:20, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

How is it statistically viable to delete Carla Howe article
I am looking at this from a google algorithm approach. Mainly, I am basing it on the statistical odds of a google search of "Carla Howe."

https://www.google.com/search?q="carla+howe"&rlz=1C1TSNF_enUS525US525&oq="carla+howe"&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59j0l4.7924j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=%22carla+howe%22&tbm=nws

Even just a recent news search highlights that her alleged affairs have created global news reproduction and interest. While agree that flirting does not make it viable to be in Wiki, I did not know if I could use alleged affair even though it was reported and documented...

With one of the biggest stars of Manchester United and one of the biggest Heavy weight champions in modern time, it would appear that her actions are much greater in terms of society impact then many playboy models that are listed with wiki pages that really only did a reality show...Thoughts? ````danandrewsreporter — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danandrewsreporter (talk • contribs) 02:52, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:BLP1E notes the following:
 * Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article.
 * This section of the Wikipedia biography of a living person policies states that an article should be removed from Wikipedia if, "reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event" IMHO, Carla Howe, is covered only in the context of a single type of event-hooking up with celebrities. Therefore, she is not notable by wikipedia's standards. If you disagree with this, I completely understand, and I will not attempt to edit or remove your page any further. Your justification for adding Howe is solid-a google search of her name will direct a person to information regarding her alleged affairs. I am simply arguing that the fact that she is known for being promiscuous is not notable enough for her to have her on personal wikipedia page.  Best,  Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 05:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

OK, cool, this is my first go at it and since I spent a number of hours on it, I am going to give it my best shot. The thing that got me really thinking this should be a wiki page is because if someone Googles "carla howe" using a tor project browser then you will see literally the top three automatic searches are "carla howe instagram" then "Carla Howe Wikipedia" is the number 2 searched topic then the number three is carla howe amir khan... Which is pretty much how I got into this because I figured if google is saying that the public has such a strong interest in this individual that the second most requested topic carla howe wiki...then it should be done. Also looking at the Google Analytic trend over the last 90 days as you can see her name is starting to pick up steam. Both due to affairs and her Playboy modeling. I am going to try to convey this and put a little more into this project, but at the end of the day, I feel if Google thinks via it's predictive search engine that someone needs a wikipage then well someone should do it Danandrewsreporter (talk) 05:57, 3 February 2014 (UTC)danandrewsreports
 * I think the things you recently added to her page definitely improve the article, so I commend you for that. However I think you are missing my point, and I don't agree with your logic whatsoever. You said, "I figured if google is saying that the public has such a strong interest in this individual" that she deserves a wikipedia page. Nowhere in WP:BLP does it say that "if a person has a lot of hits on google, you should probably go ahead and make them a wikipedia page." Further, your google trend results are completely insubstantial. The google trend graph notes that, "numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart. If at most 10% of searches for the given region and time frame were for "pizza," we'd consider this 100. This doesn't convey absolute search volume." From this I do not think google trends is a means to justify creating a page for this person. Being "googled" does not make you noteworthy, the actions that a person does in his or her lifetime are what make a person noteworthy and this is clearly explained in the WP:BLP guidelines. Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 16:46, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your input. In fact your advice actually supports my claim! In reading the Subjects notable only for one event... This absolutely validates my point. Please refer to She had multiple high level celebrity affairs. In fact it is strongly arguable that she is an American version of Carla Howe. If Wiki guidelines allow for Rachel Uchitel to have a Wiki page and that she is noteworthyable then the absolute same discussion must be validated for Carla Howe.

Nope, no mistake at all thank you for the deletion.

Fixed citation in Jane Fortune
Hello Comatmebro,

Thank you so much for your help reviewing Jane Fortune: I have updated the citation for her page as you well pointed out. What is the best way to have this reviewed for the updates? I appreciate your time.

Rachelmychajluk (talk) 23:57, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I've removed the citation style tag. The references section looks much better so I commend you for that. The only other piece of advice I would give you is to go through your citations and add titles to them. You will see in red on several of the citations "missing or empty|title=..I am not familiar with how you cited your sources, it looks far more complicated than the method I typically use. The easiest way to cite something (lets say from the web for example) is to click the "Cite" button on the top right corner or the edit box. A drop down menu with the word "Templates" with an arrow pointing down will pop up underneath the edit tool bar. From here, click on "cite web". A pop up box will appear that will ask you to type in some information (including the title of the source you are citing) and then it will generate a citation for you. I hope this info helps!

Dan Senor
I don't see how Dowd's quote violates WP:RECENT. Senor was an advisor in Iraq during the Bush administration -- the first Bush administration at that. And Dowd doesn't say he was "responsible for the war in Iraq." Nor does she say "the war in Iraq was the biggest foreign policy bungle in US history." She says it was "one of the the biggest foreign policy bungles in US history." I honestly don't understand why you think Dowd "attacked" Senor here. What she wrote is valid criticism -- criticism which, I remind you again, appeared in a reputable U.S. newspaper. I don't want to get in an edit war either. How about if I reinsert the quote and make it clear Dowd wrote about Senor's role in the early stages of the Iraq war? The Iraq war is a continuously unfolding fiasco, 14 years in the making, but I agree, Senor isn't responsible for all of it. I'll make that clear in my revision to the article. Chisme (talk) 22:39, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Chisme I apologize for the confusion, but I was speaking in regards to your justification of adding the quote back to the BLP as a violation of WP:RECENT. You stated on Senor's talk page, "In light of last week's events (advances by Sunni terrorists in western Iraq, collapse of the Iraqi state army, Iranian revolutionary guards reinforcing Shiite Iraq militias) aren't Dowd's words truer than ever? " Using this as a justification for keeping the quote on Senor's page violates WP:RECENT. Senor's BLP is not a venue for describing how the Iraq War was a failure and Dowd's quote doesn't belong on a BLP for the various reasons I've already cited. There are multiple pages on wikipedia that this quote would be more appropriate on. For example the Iraq War page would be a better fit, or even better, the Criticism of the Iraq War page.  Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 16:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)


 * The confusion? Yes, I am confused. I think I've demonstrated to you pretty well that the quote belongs there. I already compromised by shortening the quote and by qualifying it. Let's meet halfway. Chisme (talk) 16:31, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Chisme:

Maureen Dowd's article starts the following way:


 * Mr. (Paul) Ryan bemoaned "the slaughter of brave dissidents in Syria. Mobs storming American embassies and consulates. Iran four years closer to gaining a nuclear weapon. Israel, our best ally in the region, treated with indifference bordering on contempt by the Obama administration." U.S. foreign policy, he said, "needs moral clarity and firmness of purpose."

The article is initially about comments made by Paul Ryan at the Values Voter Summit held in Washington DC. Dowd's comments proceeding the following way:


 * Ryan was moving his mouth, but the voice was the neocon puppet master Dan Senor. The hawkish Romney adviser has been secunded to manage the running mate and graft a Manichaean worldview onto the foreign affairs neophyte.

Her article starts with Paul Ryan's comments, but then directs negative criticism about these comments to his “neocon puppet master” Dan Senor. I don't see that as "valid criticism," I see that as a WP:ATTACK.

Further, at what point in this article does Dowd ever cite a credible source? I understand that in one of your earlier comments, you used the following rational to keep the information on the page. “What she wrote is valid criticism -- criticism which, I remind you again, appeared in a reputable U.S. newspaper.” I would ask you to take a look at this article and this article. I think this makes it pretty clear that just because a piece of information comes from a “reputable source” like the New York Times, does not make it factually accurate. From WP:PUBLICFIGURE: "If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out." At any point in this article does Dowd make a tangible connection between Senor and “one of the biggest foreign policy bungles in US history?" While Dowd’s comments are not supported by facts, there have been several other reputable sources that have published articles regarding the public out lash against Dowd for her comments about Senor in this article up for discussion. See and.

While combing through Dowd’s article, I also came across the exact same quote that you recently “paraphrased” into Senor's article that you cited from Chandrasekaran’s book Imperial life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq’s Green Zone. The information you added was “Chandrasekaran wrote about Senor, ‘Off the record: Paris is burning,’ he told (reporters). ‘On the record: Security and stability are returning to Iraq.” First, by stating “Chandrasekaran wrote about Senor” and then quoting “Off the record: Pairs is burning,’ he told (reporters),” this gives your citation a false sense of credibility. Senor didn’t tell Chandrasekran that “Paris was burning” he, allegedly, told unnamed reporters this. Secondly, this quote is nearly identical to the one included in Dowd's NY Times article that has been the topic of this debate from the get go. From (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/16/opinion/sunday/dowd-neocons-slither-back.html?_r=0): “Off the record, Paris is burning,” Senor told a group of reporters a year into the war. “On the record, security and stability are returning to Iraq.”

I think the fact that you added an additional quote from Dowd’s controversial article, claiming it came from Chandraeskrana’s book, while we are still going back and forth about this initial quote from Dowd, is inappropriate. With that being said, I am respectfully removing the material you added to Senor's page and if you add the material back, I intend to file a case to WP:ANI.

An article of this nature is not permitted on Wikipedia and certainly does not belong on a BLP. Below is a list of Wikipedia policies it violates:

Wikipedia is not a news source: it takes more than just routine news reports about a single event or topic to constitute significant coverage-tabloid journalism is not significant coverage. Even a large number of news reports that provide no critical analysis of the event is not considered significant coverage.
 * A negative comment (with loaded words) made by one of Senor’s critics is not notable, see WP:NOTE (events) and WP:UNDUE


 * WP:VALID Wikipedia policy does not state or imply that every minority view or extraordinary claim needs to be presented. Good and unbiased research, based upon the best and most reputable authoritative sources available, helps prevent NPOV disagreements.


 * WP:IMPARTIAL states that editors must not quote directly from participants engaged in a heated dispute; but instead, summarize and present arguments in an impartial tone.


 * The quotes are WP:COATRACK for commentary on the Iraq war. Senor’s page, or any BLP for that matter, are not vehicles for spreading claims about the Iraq war failure. As stated before, perhaps criticisms and quotes of the war in Iraq should be added to the Criticism of the Iraq War page, where it would fit more appropriately. When a biography of a living person is a coatrack, it is a problem that requires immediate action. Items may be true and sourced, but if a biography of a living person is essentially a coatrack, it needs to be fixed. Removing the quote will prevent a potential WP:ATP.


 * Maureen Dowd's opinion that the Iraq war was one of the biggest foreign policy bungles in US history is of no importance to Senor's BLP. Senor is not responsible for the war in Iraq, and it is a stretch to say that the war in Iraq was “one of the biggest foreign policy bungles in US history.” It’s not Wikipedia’s job to be sensationalist, see WP:BLP
 * Senor's BLP is not the place to cover an event currently unfolding in the Iraq, see WP:RECENT. Though your material wasn't a recent quote, you supported your add by claiming, "with what's unfolding in the Middle East, aren;t Dowd's words truer than ever." This remark fails to support for violation of WP:RECENT. Best, Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 16:05, 24 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Rather than go to such lengths to discredit a reporter for the NY Times, maybe you ought to ask yourself why you have this burning need to defend Dan Senor. I mean, come on... This is weird. You come on like a truth warrior for Wikipedia when really you're just preventing an opinion about a public figure from appearing in a public forum. All public figures are subject to criticism. Sheesh. Chisme (talk) 16:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I am not saying the quote "does not belong in a public forum." I have suggested several different pages in my previous comments that the quote could be included in (i.e. the Criticism of the Iraq War page). My argument is that because the article up for discussion is so biased towards blaming the Iraq war on Senor et al, and because of the way it is written, that it should not be cited on a WP BLP. There are certain standards that need to be met in order to include material a on a WP BLP, this article does not meet several of these criteria and, therefore, does not belong on Senor's page.

Thank you for the edits you made to my article on Arthur T McCormack. Last week, I moved an article about his father, Joseph McCormack, from my sandbox to the main space. That's the only thing I've done so far on Wikipedia. I'm not really an editor; I've learned only enough to add that one article. This morning, I wanted to start the article about Arthur McCormack. I meant to begin it in my sandbox. But, somehow I created something in the public viewing space. I can probably 'finish' it this week, but I'm wondering if perhaps it wouldn't be better to move it back to my sandbox and work on it there.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Tunberg (artist)
11/18/16 Comatmebro, I will redo my argument in favor again tomorrow, but I'll do it on my computer and copy & paste into Wikipedia so I don't lose it. This has been so discouraging. We started out building the page with joy and excitement. It's been one bad thing after another. Now I've been accused of voting twice, which isn't true. I was just trying to let you know that I was having trouble getting an argument up on Wikipedia.Cstwct (talk) 05:05, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

11/18/16 Hi Comatmebro. Yesterday, I left a long dialog in support of why you should keep Tunberg's page. I countered SwisterTwister's objections. However, I cannot find what I wrote on Wikipedia. It seems to have disappeared. Again, I feel this page should be kept. I'll keep looking for my argument in support and update you when I find it. It may be in another section. Negatively qualifying Tunberg's page because of one editor's opinion is unfair, and it is damaging to his reputation.Cstwct (talk) 02:26, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

11/18/16 Comatmebro, please confirm you received my Keep argument for Tunberg's page. I spent a long time tonight writing it and it doesn't show up again. This is the second time this has happened. I'm not sure if Wikipedia is knocking me out because I take too long. Maybe it goes into a section that someone reviews before posting. I don't know how this works. But I didn't save it to my computer again! I'm ready to give up.Cstwct (talk) 03:39, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Comatmebro. I saw that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Tunberg (artist) because you were withdrawing your nomination. You can withdraw your nomination for sure, but I'm not sure you should close the AfD per WP:NAC. Another editor did !vote that the article should be deleted so such a close is possibly contentious. I think it would be probably better for you to just add a comment on why you've changed your mind and leave the closing up to an administrator. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:06, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at this stub I created for one of the newest justices of the Arizona Supreme Court. I'm just curious as to why you chose to leave the "New Unreviewed Article" tag in place after your changes?

Reviewing

 * You reviewed Swoon Editions, without tagging it for any problems; I think there is so little indication of significance that I have listed it for SpeedyA7.


 * You also reviewed Melissa Aldana without adding any tags, even though there was only a single unsatisfactory reference to "webarchive", which is fact turns out to be an archive of the unreliable  theculturetrip.com/ . If the iformation there is accurate, she is in fact notable, but this is a BLP, and it  needed to be tagged for better sources. (Its also a close paraphrase of the source) . Similarly Church of the Immaculate Conception, Żurrieq is notable, but the very brief stub had no third party sources, just its own web page. Major sourcing problems like this need to be tagged. The objkect of patrolling recent changes is not just to see if the article should or should not be deleted, but to indicate at least the most critical problems.

BLP PROD tag on Peter P. Gudo
Hi. I removed the WP:BLPPROD tag you place on Peter P. Gudo. BLP PROD requires that there be no sources of any kind in the article. The article did have sources, and so it is not eligible for that deletion that method. It did have a previous AfD, so I have tagged it per CSD G4, but you should generally not tag an article with BLP PROD the same minute it is created, even if it is eligible. That's pretty much WP:BITE and doesn't give editors the chance to create articles that might be useful for building the encyclopedia TonyBallioni (talk) 21:28, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Comatmebro. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Booso booso and Amrinder Nagra. It is also suggested that pages that might meet CSD A7 criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. <b style="border:2px solid; color: #17B6F9; background: #305577"> { MordeKyle } </b> <b style="border:2px solid; color: #B8A553; background: #727579">&#9762;</b> 23:17, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

 * PS: Isn't a page titled Amrinder Nagra created by a new user names "Nagra.Wiki" with 0 other edits a little fishy?

A7 again
2016 Mexico fireworks incident was very much not an A7.

 * I understand - what tag would you recommend in this type of situation? I was thinking WP:TOOSOON maybe? Comatmebro  User talk:Comatmebro 02:13, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I would recommend tagging it as a current event and watching it. It's definitely covered in reliable sources, so I'd wait a few days and see whether there's sustained coverage, then potentially tag for AfD if not - the main concern would likely be WP:NOTNEWS as an event with no sustaining notability. In this case, it's a non-routine and fairly major event so I would expect it will have some lasting notability. That remains to be seen though.

I feel a need to tell you that your attempt to prod delete the article on Tsendiyn Munkh-Orgil was totally unwise. This type of behavior especially against new users is what keeps Wikipedia with too few editors, and in this case reinforces systemic bias. The foriegn minister of virtually any country is default notable, one in a country entering the news at the level of Mongolia is totally notable without question.

is adding first footnote sufficient to remove "needs notability established" template?
Dear Comatmebro, I noticed you put a "needs notability established" template on the George Makdisi article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Makdisi? I put the first footnote on the article. Would this be enough to establish notability? My notion is that subsequently I and possibly other Wikipedia editors could add additional footnoting/references, but in the meantime I would like to remove the template. What do you think? Also, notice that five books are mentioned in the article as being authored by the article subject. Would this authorship be enough to establish notability? Greg Dahlen (talk) 06:41, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey, Greg! The issue I had with the page when I looked for sources is all that I could find were obituary articles. While this is an indeed a source, it's not one that can really stand as the sole source of a WP:BLP. I would compare it to using Facebook or iMDB as a source for a wiki article (it's a source, but not a great source, does that make sense?). What you can do to establish notability is find additional sources, above and beyond the obituary page, that explain why Mr. Makdisi is notable. The books are a great start, but a lot of those sources are simply "hey you can buy this book here" and again, those don't really explain why he is notable. You are free to remove the notability tag (I won't add it back), but I can't guarantee someone else won't come along, see the same issues I saw, and simply request that the page be deleted.

I am an aerospace engineer and not an expert editor like you on wikipedia. I created myself the article gathering online references after watching many TV interviews featuring this guy and wanted to be my first article and learn more wikipedia tweaks to participate in other scientific articles. The intention wasnt in any way promotional and I hope you can help me creating the article in the correct wikipedia guidelines. Could you guys help?

Please help in making the article suitable for wikipedia guidelines, instead of deleting the article, help me creating it in the right way, it's not in any way intentionally made for any promotional reasons. I have contacted the 	Wikipedia information team who assured that admins will help instead of going to the easiest solution of deletion. But instead making an effort in contributing.


 * Hello, . An admin,, took a different approach - instead of deleting that article, he/she moved it to a draft, at Draft:Philippe K Ziade.  This will allow you (and others) to work on the article before it "goes live" and is held up to more scrutiny.  The cut-down article there now is much better.  Your first step should be to collect sources that are independent (not written by the subject or his company) and which discuss him in some detail.  Then write the article based on what those articles say, without adding your own personal knowledge or point of view (that is often the hard part).  Also, you should look at cutting down the excessive list of external links; it is not apparent why most of them are pertinent (there is a good guideline on what should not be linked at "Links normally to be avoided ").  --Gronk Oz (talk) 01:52, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

New Years new page backlog drive
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:


 * The total number of reviews completed for the month.
 * The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

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.

WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan
Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - underlinked - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! ACTRIAL:
 * ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing
 * Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, 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.

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. A further discussion is currently taking  place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
 * While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

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.

 * Per WP:NFILM. Sources provided do not cover the topic in depth (clicking on the websites, they are non-noteable promo websites), nor seem to be reliable. Just because there is a notable cast member it does not mean an unreleased film should receive it's own wp page. "To presume notability, reliable sources should have significant coverage."

There are many wikipedia pages that do not have really noteworthy references or major Hollywood announcements. This is an independent film, a film with a very small budget, limited news coverage, and minimal attention. I can think of several wikipedia pages about minimal independent films that have at least reached the filming stage. Why can't we support small, unknown films? The film has purpose, as it depicts a love story during the Greek War of Independence. Just because millions/billions of people do not know about the film, does not mean its unimportant. This is an independent film, of course it doesnt have large megacorporation coverage. There are hundreds/thousands of low budget independent films with no major Hollywood coverage, many have their own wiki pages with no major promo websites. Independent films just do not have many promo or grand websites. Take this under consideration. Cardei012597 (talk) 17:44, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Assistance with Jim Goetz BLP?
Hi there, I'm here on your talk page because you are the editor to most recently make substantial improvements to the Jim Goetz article (even though that was just about a year ago). A few weeks back, I offered a proposed expansion of the article—the draft is in my userspace, and a longer explanation is on the talk page—although I haven't had any replies yet. I have gone this route because I am working on Mr. Goetz's behalf to create a more informative and up-to-date entry; because of my financial COI, I believe it's best I not edit the article directly.

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.

 * 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

Regarding BAT! page for deletion
Hello! While I agree that BAT! are a new band, I believe the page should be allowed to remain as they do meet the criteria of notability due to it featuring members of other notable bands as well as their being signed to a major record label. The article can always be expanded upon as time goes on. But I am definitely open to any suggestions you may have on how I can improve the article so that it may remain. Thank you, Fiend1138  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fiend1138 (talk • contribs) 03:53, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for removing the PROD tag. It is greatly appreciated. When you suggest that I find some additional reliable sources that discuss the notable members of the band, would not linking to their other bands Wikipedia pages as I have suffice?

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello ,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our  Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but  there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software. Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Edits to Koch Industries
Hi Comatmebro! Can you explain this edit? Your edit summary says "Removed per Wp:NPOV" but its not actually possible to remove coverage in WP:RS like that under NPOV, you can only add more sources or balance existing ones. There is no ground for a wholesale removal on NPOV grounds. Likewise this edit says "Removed content from non neutral source" but I'm at a total loss as to what you could be referring to as a non neutral source. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 06:01, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

This other edit to Political activities of the Koch brothers also invokes NPOV but it has nothing to do with NPOV, its more POV pushing. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 06:08, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello! POV pushing is right under WP:NPOV in WP:NPOVD. I would agree with your point that this probably falls more in the POV push category, but is it really possible to have "nothing do to with NPOV" if a POV push is involved? <b style="color: green;">Comatmebro</b> (talk) 23:49, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You misunderstand, you're the one pushing the POV. You removed a top tier academic paper on "wp:npov" grounds because it didn't conform with your personal POV, what would you call that besides POV pushing? Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 15:41, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Lay off the POV pushing
When your POV pushing is so blatant and indiscriminate that you're corrupting quotes by changing every mention of "climate change denial" to "climate change skepticism" you need to stop. Note that this is the exact same fringe POV you're attempting to push at Koch family foundations. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 06:05, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Seriously... How many of these are there? Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 06:12, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Excuse me for not wanting to turn Wikipedia into the Huffington Post. Such obvious attempts to paint organizations as "climate denialists" are a very clear POV push, and I prefer to fight back against drive-by editors that want to paint "climate denial" all over these pages. <b style="color: green;">Comatmebro</b> (talk) 15:43, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You are aware the climate change skepticism is just a PC term for climate change denial? It is a distinction without a difference, climate change skepticism and climate change denial are the same thing. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 15:47, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Then why not use the PC term? If our goal is to be netural why blast all of these pages with accusations of denial? <b style="color: green;">Comatmebro</b> (talk) 15:51, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Because its not the common term, the common term for climate change denial is climate change denial. This is why the page is named climate change denial not climate change skepticism. Also to be clear it isn't an accusation, its a neutral description. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 15:53, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello ,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently Special:ListUsers/patroller New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Another Koch question
Hi Comatmebro, can you explain this edit ? You seem to have removed a tag without addressing it... In fact you did the opposite, you removed a tag which said that the lead did not adequately summarize the article as well as removing all mentions of environmental and political issues from the lead. What am I missing here that would make this edit non-disruptive? Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 20:25, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * My mistake. I was interpreting the tag as "the lede is not concise" and tried to tighten it up. Re-reading the tag that's not what it's suggests - your right it's the opposite. I won't remove the tag again unless I feel like lede adequately summarized the article and is concise. Cheers <b style="color: green;">Comatmebro</b> (talk) 21:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello ,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 at the end of May.
 * Backlog status

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
 * Backlog drive

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
 * TIP – New school articles

There is a new template available,, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
 * Misc

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.


 * Reminders
 * Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
 * If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing on their talk page.
 * If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello ,

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators and, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
 * Backlog status

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.


 * Coordination: and  have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out.  will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.


 * Open letter to the WMF: The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.


 * TIP - Reviewing by subject: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.


 * New reviewers: The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.


 * Reminders
 * Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
 * If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing on their talk page.
 * If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list.

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
Hello , Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to ), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also. Software news: and  have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved. Suggestions:
 * There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
 * Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
 * Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
 * This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog: Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
Hello , The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day. won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
 * Backlog
 * 2022 Awards

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from  to  '''

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as and  have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
