NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.
 * Backlog


 * 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
 * User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js(info) — A new script created for quickly placing copyvio-revdel on a page.

Your GA nomination of Lafargue Clinic
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Lafargue Clinic you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Renata3 -- Renata3 (talk) 03:41, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018
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.

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018
Hello ,

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
 * Reviewer of the Year
 * Thanks are also extended for their work to (15,059 reviews),  (12,760reviews),  (9,001reviews),  (8,440reviews),  (8,092reviews),   (5,306reviews),  (4,153 reviews),  (4,016reviews),  and  (3,615reviews)., , , and  have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only sevenmonths, while , with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top100 reviewers.

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
 * Less good news, and an appeal for some help

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
 * Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minutevideo was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system.

Ruining Wikipedia
I think people who are too strict about the idea that one cannot put any original thought in wikipedia are ruining it for other people. What is the problem with my putting in some Minor thought on the discussion page about Felix Leiter? How can I possibly harm you while you’re away at school or anybody else? I think that wikipedia by being too strict about these things is making itself an unpleasant place to interact and contribute. I see that it says that I have made 100 contributions to wikipedia. Most of them I believe have been removed. Please consider, wikipedia, allowing People to make minor contributions of their own original thoughts on discussion pages of minor things like a Supporting character in a thriller novel. You would make a lot of people happy. I doubt if I will ever contribute to wikipedia again because it is just too depressing. Ladybelle Fiske (talk) 23:50, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This comment made my day. Thanks! Argento Surfer (talk) 00:12, 27 February 2019 (UTC) I don’t know what you mean.

Please see WP:OR, WP:NOTAFORUM. I removed your contributions because they violated these Wikipedia guidelines. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 00:43, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia would be happy to accept your contributions, so long as they follow the guidelines. Also, talk pages are for discussing controversial changes to the article, or for resolving disputes. They are not simply discussion forums for a character you may like. —But that’s just the point. I think they should be a place where people can discuss things.Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 00:46, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

I don’t know where to put Comments. There seems to be no place for me on wikipedia. Argento, I would like to know whether you’re saying that it made your day because I might not edit anymore? Or are you saying that people should be able to use wikipedia in a more flexible manner? If it is the former, this is just what I mean.It’s too complicated and there are too many rules. It’s not easy for someone to just jump in and figure out how to do this. And there should be a place where one can make comments like mine. Can’t you understand? It’s too complicated for some people. It’s too much trouble so many people probably never put in useful information. If there is somebody who wants me not to edit it anymore I will keep doing it. That’s rude. You should be helping people not making things harder for them. If on the other hand you meant that the rules are too strict thank you! On wiki tree people help each other. If someone doesn’t know how to do something instead of removing their information they help the person figure out where to put it. There has always been a nasty attitude towards me here.
 * I saw this while I was having a bad day at work, and bizarre comments like "Please consider, Wikipedia, ..." made me smile. That was at your expense, but I didn't expect you to see it since you said you didn't expect to contribute anymore.
 * But you're right - if you come here to discuss your feelings about an article subject, then there isn't a place for you here. That's not what Wikipedia is for, and we have policies that allow inappropriate comments to be removed. I suggest you click these links and read them in their entirety: What Wikipedia is not and What Wikipedia is.
 * The internet is a big place. There are lots of other websites that would be happy to read about your opinion of James Bond supporting characters. Don't expect Wikipedia to become one of them. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:56, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

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.

Movement Strategy
 * Sam (PonyToast) and Maria (Rimmel.Edits) have signed up to serve as our Organized Groups Strategy Liaisons; through December, Strategy Liaisons will act as a conduit for ideas, questions, and updates between the Movement Strategy and organized groups such as our own. Thank you to both members for taking this on!
 * The Wikimedia Summit 2019 just came to a conclusion. Maria Rimmel (Rimmel.Edits) served as our representative this year, following her work at the Ohio State University and WikiConference North America. This year's event had a heavy focus on the Movement Strategy Process and its Working Groups. Maria will be providing updates and outcomes of the conference on the user group talkpage soon - keep an eye out!

Upcoming and Ongoing Events
 * This May is the election for two Affiliate-Selected Board Seats for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The Ohio Wikimedians User Group will be eligible to cast one vote. Be on the lookout for updates on how we will decide our vote.
 * Two edit-a-thons are being hosted for Ohio State Department of Spanish and Portuguese students this month. One edit-a-thon is focusing on improving Wikipedia's coverage of female and under-representated language scientists, and the other on Latinx studies.

Recent Events
 * WikiConference North America 2018 (Oct 18-21) at the Ohio State University was a great success! Over 200 attendees (including those representing over 15 Wikimedia affiliates and 25 academic institutions) attended the 70+ sessions we had. A big thanks goes to all the event's organizers, volunteers (including those from Ohio Wikimedians), sponsors, and session hosts. View the full report (work in progress) for more details and outcomes. You can also check out the photos on the Commons.

''Photos by Sixflashphoto, Geraldshields11, and Benjoneswhite.
 * In February, NIOSH Cincinnati hosted a Hear in Cincinnati Edit-a-thon at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, part of the Wiki4WorldHearingDay campaign in honor of World Hearing Day. Participants improved Wikipedia content related to hearing, hearing health services, hearing testing, preventive and treatment interventions.
 * Our student group at the Ohio State University, Wikipedia Connection, hosted an Art+Feminism edit-a-thon on March 23 in collaboration with the Wexner Center for the Arts Student Engagement Group. 21 editors made 117 edits leading to over 75,000 article views; click here for more information.The University's student newspaper, The Lantern, covered the event: "Wikipedia edit-a-thon increases gender representation in the arts".

"By doing an event like this, we can show people that you can edit; your contributions are valid; your contributions are valued. Beyond valued: necessary," Dalesio said.
 * Alden Library at Ohio University also independently hosted an Art+Feminism edit-a-thon on March 22. Check out the event page for more details. Outcomes included editing 27 articles, including the creation of a new one.

"We will be encouraging participants to use our collections to create and strengthen articles, and Library volunteers will be available help them do this effectively. In doing so, we hope to encourage participants to move beyond the role of information consumer, and to consider how they can enrich the information landscape—and maybe leave the internet a better place than they found it," Jennings stated.

Hello, I want to ask if you could not delete my article. I have in hand other reliable international sources such as from Amnesty international that I can add. This page is already published in Wikipedia Persian. Please remove the speedy deletion tag. I’ll really appreciate that. Thanks! Nikoo.Amini (talk) 23:53, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Kimberley Leonard
Hello Etzedek24. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kimberley Leonard, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: presenting the news on a major news channel is a sufficient claim of significance. Thank you. So Why  07:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Etzedek24! I have looked over my page of Morphe Cosmetics and believe that the information is now presented in a more objective manner. Hopefully you agree, I tried to find sources regarding this topic and pulled as many as I could from as reputable of mediums as I could. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vertyped (talk • contribs) 22:12, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019


Hello ,

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important. Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR. The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever. NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so  you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations. Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for  the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging. Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway. School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Mis-use of the Twinkle rollback tool
AFD discussions very much are discussions, and rolling back the article creator's response to the question of an article's sourcing, with Twinkle's rollback tool, is wholly inappropriate. Do not do that again. Uncle G (talk) 23:27, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

AiroAv Anti Virus Software
1. I am not affiliated with AIROAV.

2. User:Danielcohens (my page) here on Wikipedia has a link to my profile in the Google Hall Of Fame with my picture and a long history of security credentials and contribution. So my publication on the subject of AiroAV is not about PR, rather SECURITY.

Please note, I am a professional security consultant and am on Google, AT&T, Adobe, Apple, and Microsoft's official website's with my name and picture (Daniel Cohen, Speed-net.com) for contribution. My name coincides with my own username here on Wikipedia and can easily be found online and emailed if necessary to confirm who I am. My Twitter handle is @dancohens and screenshots there can confirm my work. So that is my "affiliation" to security and purpose for creating the page as AIROAV is a Anti Virus company. But to be clear, my company Speed-net.com is not affiliated with AiroAV nor any of their businesses and you can do a simple Google search for "Daniel Cohen Speed-net.com" and find the necessary references and authority qualifications for my contribution to protecting online user activity.

Now to address AiroAV. It's an Anti Virus company. I don't use the software myself, nor have I ever used it - so clearly not promoting it. Everything I stated in the Wikipedia is clear fact and referenced. Wikipedia is a historical fact site. According to the Register.co.uk and another tier 1 media source FossBytes, earlier last month AiroAV identified a dangerous malware variant spread via the Adobe Flash Plugin that undermines the security of Mac users by re-writing Google and Bing search results and turning innocent computers into a reverse proxy that's used for malicious activity. This is not PR, rather HISTORICAL FACT and in the future, such reference on Wikipedia could prove invaluable for security researchers to follow up on.

All I stated in the Wikipedia was reference to the company as reported on Crunchbase (this helps malware researchers cooperate to find other coders who identified the malware variants) and the reference to the malware variant itself. How in the world can that be PR? Finally, I was in Prague at Hackathon last month hanging out with Brian (the head of Wikipedia Security) and Sylvain (head of France's security). So please don't suspect me for exterior PR agendas, and in the name of community contribution, please do not support erasing the page or references that identify malware putting millions of MACOS users at risk.

So many now that I've stated my case, you can explain how in the world you think my publication was PR? --Danielcohens (talk) 01:58, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Your credentials have nothing to with whether a page is kept or deleted from Wikipedia, nor do they make you better than any other editor on the site. The core issue is that the company did not meet the general notability guideline of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The linked articles discuss the company in only a passing mention, which does not satisfy the significant coverage guideline and thus the article, having little encylopedic substance only served to publicize the company. It may be helpful to see what Wikipedia is not to potentially further understand why it was not appropriate for the company to have its own article. It was also improperly created in mainspace after having been denied at Articles for Creation. Being an expert in the field and hanging out in real life at Wiki events and with Wiki staffers is not a substitute for understanding the process of the website. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 19:41, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

My only purpose of mentioning my credentials (in security) and even going to Hackathon is to ensure I'm not some PR guy cause the majority of people who arrive to both learn and contribute to Wikipedia are techies (as oppose to PR people). My education and work is security related only, but with and without connection to identifying and publicizing vulnerabilities, the purpose is raising awareness and community contribution. With no relation whatsoever to this subject, if you look at my edit committed a week ago, you can see it has nothing to do with PR, rather just updating an existing wikipedia with international news coinciding with the cancellation of a European countries democratic elections. As for this specific publication, I was not the original author. I read an article on the Register.co.uk of the virus and then started checking out the company. Google revealed a previous publication of the company here on Wikipedia which was up for speedy-deletion and subsequently erased. To me that publication appeared like PR. But I assure you that was not me publishing, nor my intention when I re-created with the proper references to Fossilebyte and the Register's article.

So was just surprised that I'd be suspect of PR for something where my intentions were only pure. In general, there are various viruses and malware (i.e. Stuxnet ) that have their own pages for both researchers and computer users. I didn't see this company mentioned a name for the virus so I mentioned them. But make no mistake I don't honestly care about the company, rather only the significance of identifying the manipulation of Google and Bing search results as that is synonymous with cloaking and fake news, etc. Anyway, just wanted to clarify my intentions. My best. --Danielcohens (talk) 20:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Airo Security (AiroAV)
Hi Etzedek24, Thanks for your message. I'm wondering why do the notability of Airo security is not enough, compared to other similar security companies the coverage seems at the same extent. In a practical manner, what kind of coverage is necessary? Please make it perfectly clear and elaborate as much as you can (for example - 'only security articles or news that are particularly covering the company are considered as significant coverage' ). Thank you for your assistance! Lidorga Lidorga (talk) 17:19, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Paid editing suspicion on Jeannine Bailliu

Many students learn to edit Wikipedia through the classroom assignment, and few continue to do so afterwards, explaining the pattern of edits. If you want to nominate the article for deletion, go ahead, but I just wanted to let you know that the editor is definitively not a paid editor. I'll post the same thing on the article talk page.

I removed your prod tag, because this deletion outside of WP:AfD might be controversial. Bearian (talk) 19:59, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Churaliya hai tumne jo dil jo removal
Hello! I’m Nyantiaz, the person who created that page - I feel it was unfair that the page was just removed and turned into a redirect with no discussion, no notice, whatsoever. I feel this was unfair and unnecessary because there are many other song articles just like this one, and with NO discussion or notice given to me, the article creator, I feel suddenly deleting the article and just making a redirect with NO talk or notice at all was unfair. I would’ve liked at least a discussion or a sign that you were going to do this, and we could talk about the article’s significance or at least notify me. I feel this is unfair and just had to leave a message addressing my concerns. Please respond back. Nyantiaz (talk) 02:47, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

New page reviewer permission
I've removed it. I've seen you too often mistagging articles.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:52, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry, and this is this first I've heard of it? I'm not a mind-reader, Bbb. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 00:56, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * A couple of recent examples in speedy tagging. You tagged James Baillieu as a G11. First, I'm not sure why you were even reviewing an article that was created over three months ago. Usually an article that is "established", if it has a promotional issue, can either be (1) slapped with an advert tag or, better, (2) edited to remove any promotional material. However, in this instance, the article couldn't possibly be considered a G11, and your action demonstrated a lack of understanding of the tag. Second, you tagged Kankrej, Gujarat, a place article, as a G2. What on earth made you think it a test page? It too was created months ago. Place articles are almost never taggable unless you can demonstrate it's a hoax. In this case, it certainly isn't a G2. Besides the recent mistagging, I've noticed that you often prod articles that are removed, and you often send articles to AfD that are kept. At least in one instance you actually withdrew your nomination because of the keep votes. I'm sorry to remove your permission because I can see you've been working very hard at curating articles, but I think you need to reflect more on what each tag means, when they are used, and whether they are applicable than you apparently have before you plunged in. The same is true for prodding and AfD. BTW, your ping didn't work. For a ping to work, you have to sign at the same time as you ping. If you sign it as a separate edit, no notification is made.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:47, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

G12 speedy
Hi - just a small request when you nominate a page for WP:G12 speedy deletion. When you put the URL of the page in where the copyrighted text comes from, please include the HTTP or HTTPS portion of the URL at the beginning. This is required so that the copyvios report link will display. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:41, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Hometown is not birthplace
We need clear confirmation a person was BORN in the place in the birthplace field. Hometown is just where you live. Rikster2 (talk) 22:34, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Note there is a "hometown" field that can be used in the infobox if different from birthplace (assuming it's supported by reliable sources, which it is in this case). See Template:Infobox person.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:41, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That is not a field in this infobox. Rikster2 (talk) 23:39, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * There's no reason it shouldn't be, as I think we're rather unlikely to find a source that explicitly says a minor professional player was BORN somewhere (though in my thinking, if someone says their hometown is somewhere, 99% chance it's where they were born). I'm submitting an edit request to the basketball biography template requesting it to be added. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 23:48, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You created Sandy Cohen (basketball). Go back and look at his UWGB bio - it explicitly says he was born in Green Bay, which is not his “hometown.” Birthplace is included frequently in college bios, NBA bios, USA basketball bios, etc. But it isn’t always and you can’t assume it’s the same as hometown. A lot of people live in a suburb but are born in a city hospital, or their families move. There is nowhere near 99% overlap. Rikster2 (talk) 02:17, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter November 2019
Hello ,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon. There are now holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action. Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays. Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox. Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards. Admin has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers. Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources. Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13. The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights. There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

 * Getting the queue to 0
 * Coordinator
 * This month's refresher course
 * Tools
 * It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
 * It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
 * Reviewer Feedback
 * Second set of eyes
 * Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
 * Do be sure to have our talk page  on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.

Re: comment in Batman in film article talk
Could you explain what you mean by "policy-waving"? - Jack Sebastian (talk) 07:38, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I just wasn't a fan of how some of the policy/essay viewpoints were being articulated. I removed my comment after a second look, it's been a long day. I was going to cite some WP:XYZ about not overlinking policies/essays but that's a rabbit hole of pages I don't have the energy to sift through. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 08:13, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hust to be clear, I link policy/guidelines because stating them without linking them has made me come across as an arrogant know-it-all in the past. Linking protocol makes it clear for all concerned that at position isn't just my opinion, but instead the prevailing view of the wiki-en. I am absolutely not aiming to be officious. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:29, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
