 * The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
 * We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
 * We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
 * Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Disambiguation link notification for March 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Soudamini, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Telugu ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Soudamini check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Soudamini?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
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.

Australian ODI players
At some point between 25 Feb and today, you made an edit to the page List of Australia ODI cricketers. Unfortunately, before your edit a vandalistic edit was made so that some bogan could pretend he'd made 15,000 runs for Australia when he does not exist. I have reverted everything up to then so, if you wish to make your edit again, please do so. 79.71.9.109 (talk) 20:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Learning how to edit the "Sadananda" article
Hi Dl2000,

thank you for helping me with my first attempts to create a proper article on Wikipedia! My first mistake was "donating my own texts" from the www.sadananda.com website which I am running and which was then marked as a copyright problem. I have rephrased my own text now, cut a huge part and given a link to the website instead.

I have, however, deleted references by you (or a former editor) that were not related to the text, as I thought that it works like with a normal article: references must be related to quoted literature in the text. But maybe I am wrong and it works differently here? I meant no offense by deleting it. I just had the impression that it was added only to "save the article" by adding sources and that they could be replaced by better ones. I have now added connected references and hope the quality of the article has improved.

In order to give a more balanced view I have searched for other places where people mention Sadananda like Eidlitz, Ramdas, Veltheim-Ostrau, Sardella or Bon. This seems, to me, to give quite a range. They all mention Sadananda by name, therefore they seem to be relevant to me.

I would appreciate if we could discuss future changes before we are editing the text.

Thanks for the help again!

Thanks for reviewing and amending my first Wikipedia article. I appreciate the guidance! Muttleee (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:19, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Any reason not to on Automatic Computing Engine?
It's not just about something developed somewhere that's not a former part of British North America, it's about something developed in Britain. Template:EngvarA just redirects to Template:Use American English, and Template:EngvarC just redirects to Template:Use Canadian English; I infer from the discussion for the proposed deletion of that the reason why Template:EngvarB doesn't just redirect to Template:Use British English is that it refers to all the non-North American varieties of English, not specifically to British English.

I'm not sure what articles should be tagged with Template:EngvarB rather than some "Use XXX English" variant. For example, there's Template:Use Australian English, Template:Use Irish English, Template:Use Indian English, etc., so articles about Australian/Irish/Indian/etc. topics could just use those. The proposed-deletion discussion indicates that there have been objections to tagging articles about Australian topics with, such as the one here, but presumably using  would be more precise than just.

And Automatic Computing Engine is an article about a British topic, so presumably would be appropriate there. Is this change just being done automatically or semi-automatically, without much human intervention? Guy Harris (talk) 01:12, 18 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Upon another review of the article, agreed that the British tag is better. The EngvarB was applied in error on the side of caution, so will fix that as you suggest. Dl2000 (talk) 01:28, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:
 * WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags
 * Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:
 * A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. 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.

Editathons
 * There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. 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.

Paid editing - new policy
 * Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, 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. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

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 common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
 * Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.

Advertisement template
I think you have flagged the page for Singapore Management University as reading like an advert. Could you kindly identify the passages to which you object? Tpjsmu (talk) 09:59, 31 May 2018 (UTC)


 * You removed the advert tag without providing any justification for doing so. The article structure and content seemed to be fundamentally unchanged since January, some relatively minor detail changes and some referencing changes. It seemed to resemble a brochure for university programs and facilities, with most citations from primary sources (i.e. the university or related departments). There are a few secondary citations, but probably should have some more of those. Note that the advert tag was placed by back in January; that editor may want to take another look to determine if that template is still appropriate. Further discussion on this should be done at Talk:Singapore Management University. Dl2000 (talk) 01:52, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

advertising & promotion about Mario Christian Meyer article
I am a new Wikipedia contributor, not always aware of your etiquette. I started this new involvement to help an non_governmental_organization with my computer-based knowledge. This NGO deals with ecology and the safeguard of the Amazon and its population .Its founder ,M.C. Meyer is the only permanent person of this structure and needs help. His article can seem as self-promotion as he is the only person working on the subject : this seems to me a justification for that. About the way of presenting the facts, I have a lot to learn , so could you tell me which edit(s) caused your remarks. About external links, what is the best way to link one fact to another : reference , note ,external pdf, external website ? (I read that ext.links must be avoided in the main article). I hope you will find some minutes to guide a newbie. Thanks. PS : M.C.Meyer suggested that I insist on the fact that he has got a lot of support for his action from several sources such as UNESCO, French Academy des Sciences , french Universities , Manaus government , etc...

John Burton - Actor
Hi There

I really need your help and you seem like someone that may be able to do that?

I am John Burton, the actor in question. The Wikipedia page was set up by a web specialist many years ago and I have only ever edited the page as new acting jobs have been completed, thus bringing it up to date.

I don't understand what the issue is and why whenever it has been resubmitted by me or another person, it is then removed again.

My website is www.johnburton.tv and all the information that was on the page was correct.

Can you put it up again to help me out or add/change things to make it visible and correct. I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance

 * 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

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.

Removing edits to Anees Salon's webpage
Hi, I saw your message about reverting edits I've made to Anees Salim's wiki page citing "neutrality issues." I'd like to know what these are, failing which I'd like you to restore the edits I've made. Everything on that wiki page has been taken from public sources - and since it is biographical, the author's publicly-stated opinions can be a part of the page as well. I know the standards for wiki pages, so I am mindful of using only material that's within Wikipedia's standards. Like I said, I'd appreciate either an explanation or a restoration asap.

Removing edits to Anees Salim page - 2
Hi, Your reasons - as 'explained' in your latest note - remain weak at best, and arbitrarily absurd if I were to be frank. For one, if your problem was that the number of references had gone down from 9 to 5, you could have simply restored the removed references or flagged the section asking for more references. Instead, you've chosen to delete my edits. If you'd actually gone through the changes, you'd have seen that I've used only the strongest sources out of the nine. That's overreaction 1. Your point about 'promotional' tone because I've used words like prestigious and award-winning is even more absurd. Do look up the meanings of these words, and then the wiki pages for these awards themselves. (Hope you don't edit them because they are self-congratulatory now!) These are prestigious awards. These are awards the subject has won. That makes him an award-winning author. I've not cited anything that isn't there in the public domain or isn't an objective fact. I've modelled this page based on author pages already up and approved on wiki. Like I said earlier, I'd like you to restore my edits. Otherwise, it's just a blatant misuse of the very culture you claim to espouse - pressing your opinion down on a neutral article. Ramize84 (talk) 01:54, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

List of rivers of County Clare
It is rather useless to change dates and hammer for dmy-dates when the title of the sources states (for example) 19th. In the article List of rivers of County Clare the dates you have changed are part of the title of the source (check. If you want that changed, please contact Clare County Council.

 * Fair enough, but it might help if such titles were enclosed in quotations or italics per MOS:T, since article references can often be a confusing conflation of titles, publication dates, authors, etc.. Dl2000 (talk) 23:56, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

What quotation syntax do you want checked, please? Spike-from-NH (talk) 01:10, 7 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Just cleaned that up - basically noticed an unclosed italic in a reference and unfortunately didn't get around to dealing with it immediately. However, if you see a quotation check, you can fix any unbalanced quotations and italics or remove the tag if the quotes and italics are good (sometimes these are done in confusing combinations). Hope this helps. Dl2000 (talk) 01:17, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

International Date Format userbox?
Sorry if I'm being really obtuse or missing a joke, but isn't International date format YYY-MM-DD? I remember as it's really handy on computers as alphabetical order is chronological order of dates. HLHJ (talk) 02:45, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * First time this one was raised about the 10-year-old userbox - interesting point, and not an obtuse observation, although IDF would be more accurately identified as ISO 8601, rather than the rough redirect created back in 2005 when such matters were more a moving target. Note there is a specific ISO-related userbox available: User:Teemu Leisti/Userboxes/ISO-8601 User:Teemu Leisti/Userboxes/ISO-8601. However, the matter would be something to ponder as priorities permit. Dl2000 (talk) 03:05, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ghanashyam Hemalata Institute of Technology and Management


The article Ghanashyam Hemalata Institute of Technology and Management has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Their is same wikipedia page related to same subject and topic, might confuse others see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghanashyama_Hemalata_Institute_of_Technology_and_Management also this wikipedia page is less informative then the link provided of above wikipedia 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.

Mandatory use of show preview option
Hi there,

Is there any way the use of Show Preview option can be made mandatory across Wikipedia as some editors keep making edit after edit rather that properly reviewing the article before posting it ?/

In my personal opinion, it is cheating to increase the number of edits made. Superfast1111 (talk) 05:17, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

On what you said.
The birth date was wrong. If you don't mind, can you change the date of birth for the actress 'Shobana' to March, 21, 1964 on the page.

Shobana - Actress
Hi,

For proof, in the movie Thenmavin Kombath (1994) she was 30, according to the information given. (If you have an apple device, search up Shobana age Thenamvin Kombath, and you'll see). If you subtract 1994 and 30 you'll get 1964. So according to that information, the year she was born was indeed 1964. If you again subtract the year of today and 1964 you'll get 55, which would be her age. Honesty is important.

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.

Major edit done - removed as it "seemed to be a test"
Hi DI2OOO,

I have recently tried to update the Wikipedia of an organisation I work for, based on weeks of planning. The whole work I have done on Wikipedia has been reversed.

I don't have much experience of Wikipedia and I would like to do why was my edit deleted and how could I make sure it won't happen again? I guess the problem is that I'm basically replacing entire sections almost everywhere, but this is the interest and the will of the organisation itself.

Can you undo the delete you have done? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.132.174.192 (talk) 22:53, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

 * You did not mention the article or provide any information on where you were editing, therefore it is not possible to review the edits in question. However, it seems you are attempting to edit an article of a subject you are closely associated with - therefore your editing must follow Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines.

1970-73 Juno Award for Artist of the Year nominees inquiry
Hello. I was wondering in which issue of RPM did you find the nominees for the Juno Awards of 1971. I'm currently looking for the nominees for Juno Award for Artist of the Year between 1970 and 1973 and not having any luck. I'm currently checking 3345.ca as this website (should) have the issues I'm looking for. If you could point me in the direction for the 1970-1974 Juno nominees I would very appreciate it. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:25, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * been a while since going through RPM at either National Library or Toronto Reference Library, but there was a Juno Awards Special Issue, 27 February 1971 in the "Other" references which would be the likely source of nominees. junoawards.ca lists winners only for 1971. Unfortunately there is that gap at 3345.ca, so that may remain an offline reference, other than secondary reports from papers such as Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, artist bios, etc. Dl2000 (talk) 01:44, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was kinda hoping that wasn't the case. In regards to the 1971 Juno awards, were the nominees in the special RPM issue? If you look at the Juno awards articles from 1970-1973 on Wikipedia, there are no nominees listed apart from the ones you wrote down for 1971 per this edit. If so, would you have any ideas where I could find 1970, 1972 and 1973 noms? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:51, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Nominees would be obtained from RPM if lists of those could be found (e.g. the 1971 special issue). If nominees were missing, this is likely due to not finding those in RPM for the early Junos. Again, info on the early Junos is mostly WP:OFFLINE, and I may not have the opportunity to recheck those for a while. Maybe CARAS has some non-published archives. Dl2000 (talk) 02:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay. I'll try emailiong CARAS to see if they would know where the nominees would be published. I tried emailing the Juno Awards a long time ago but got no answer (even though CARAS owns the Junos). Thank you. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:14, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Criminal Defamation
Please note that 'Criminal Defamation' is a penal offence, and 'screening the offender' is also a penal offence; hence, the edit that you made recently wrongfully blames a person as "involved" in corruption, whereas he has "exposed" corruption -- this gives him a cause to institute a criminal case against you and the platform used by you, and to apply for issuance of a red corner notice to Interpol and your extradition to stand trial in his country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jugbaj (talk • contribs) 07:47, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
