Deleted Page ArchChat
Hi,

Came across your profile from Satyabrata Pal's Wiki page.

Can you take a look at Deb deleting ArchChat on Wiki which I created.

You can also maybe restore the iSticker page as it was a page 'Move' rather than an entirely new page by me.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello ,

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
 * Source Guide Discussion

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
 * Redirects


 * Discussions and Resources
 * There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
 * A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
 * A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
 * A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.
 * Refresher

Proposed deletion of Nikhil Mahajan


The article Nikhil Mahajan has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "It looks like this article is made for publicity."

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. UserPankajM (talk) 03:13, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

The page Saheem Khan
Hello sir, Hope you are well. Recently you placed speedy deletion tag on the article Saheem Khan. You are senior but I would like to say that The page does not have the same material which previously deleted. I created it systematically. You just once go to GOOGLE and search 'SAHEEM KHAN', You will see the title is qualifying notability guidelines. Thanks so much:) Rama.dhanraj (talk) 05:44, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Sir, you checked the news section where some recent published articles are showing on top which are not so notable news websites I agree. But many other notable news websites like Zee News, Navabharat Times, KoiMoi, The Lallantop etc published about his works and the award he got in Creation International Film Festival. Also please do check this sir. Please get in to the deepness of the notability of the title and then take decision sir. Thank you so much. !

Draft move
Hello, I wasn't sure about your move of architect Sandeep Khosla's page to Draft space, citing there is no independent coverage. As can be seen in The Hindu, India Today, one of the country's major architecture magazines, Architectural Digest, and other coverage in Dezeen, ArchDaily, notability is easily established from independent sources. And being cited one of the "most influential" architectural practices in India, both by AD and Hindu, provide ample grounds for notability. As it is, given the systemic bias, notable Indian architects are under-represented on Wikipedia, and people like Ram Sharma and Romi Khosla (no connection) don't even have a page -- which I intend to start after this. I've taken the liberty to move back the page, and will be further expanding it in the next 2-3 days. Regards, BahrdozsBulafka (talk) 14:37, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to say if you were searching online, Google might have thrown up many, many more searches on Sandeep Khosla, the fashion designer, but is solved by looking for 'Sandeep Khosla architect' (apologies if you didn't need this pointing out) BahrdozsBulafka (talk) 15:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I still feel he is a non-notable architect with no in-depth coverage on him or his work only passing mentions and fails WP:GNG too. - FitIndia  Talk Commons 15:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I've somewhat boldly moved Hachette India and Speaking Tiger Books back into main space, as there are in-depth articles on both publishing houses, and a cursory Google search would prove their notability.

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello ,

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference. In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
 * Your help can make a difference
 * Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
 * Discussions and Resources
 * A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
 * Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
 * A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
 * Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Voting
I would like to get your advice how I will get these accusations cleared and how I will get the levels of a high level user in wiki. About the article I have created are under NO way that is paid. I so I will clarify it. Please have a closer look and clear my userid from such things if you can. I have free time in this COVID crisis this is where I could be calm and contribute. but its not a good morale condition with what happened. I know its not anyones fault.

About maldives articles, Please note that most local news dont have English end covered. Local main sources are difficult for you and others to read since its in local language. (Existance Leesaaisath 15:56, 15 August 2020 (UTC))


 * I can see a COI notice on your talk page, do you know the person or have any connection with the subject of the article that you have written? Pinging .- FitIndia  Talk Admin on Commons 16:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Fitindia: Thank you for asking me and giving me sometime. I have been asked that question by Praxidicae too. And I have answered in detail so it will be easy for everyone to understand. Please check in detail and read below what I know and my thoughts.

This is the question answered in in detail to Praxidicae.
 * Let me ask a more direct question of you, what if any is the relationship between you and anyone you've written about? How are you the owner of several photos of subjects you've written about? Have you also ever solicited other editors to edit for pay via sites like Freelancer or Upwork? Praxidicae (talk) 15:23, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Me: Thank you for asking this directly. I am not feeling good since I cannot comprehend this, and I wanted everyone of the editors and admins to know that, I have actually loved this work, and want to create more and had already done many articles and everytime its approved I loved the feeling. That was my drive and intention.

I am sitting and thinking why this has happened to an article I have researched so much. I selected people on how they appear on media when I started this interest in wiki. It all started due to COVID19 and we have to work online.

Since I am a journalist I have archives of photoes (long digital bundles). In maldives we mostly take photoes and write too, some of those photoes we publish, some we keep as our own since the published ones will be the ones the newspapers officially will own. Also, upwork and Freelancer is not a place I work, I had NOT asked any editors of those companies to do something like that. And in future too will never do, since I have SOME ambition to be a page reviewer or by chance an admin here someday. About the people I write, I do not personally know these people, but these are familiar faces since they appear on TV. I sometimes have encountered them in online questions. For example in COIVD19 I was among 20 journalists who was given chance to ask online questions to Dr. Niyaf and Wisham.

I hope this clears and gives an answer, if youvhave any questions please ask. Existance Leesaaisath 21:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

H, Again, Fitindia, since your an admin, Please check in detail what is happening in the AFD. I am in need of your guidance and advice. The look of it is bad for a future in wikipedia. Since, in less than few months I have almost all tags on my username from this AFD. I have created many articles and successfully published them here and Love the work. As for the remaining researches, I dont see such work will stick, specially if that's related to previously notable persons or history of Maldives if we cannot recognize local notable papers. Im sure with your expertise you will find who is doing what there. GSS, I hope I will get your advice too and explanation. Good luck guys, Thanks and be safe Existance Leesaaisath 08:09, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello. I guess you saw my username in the block log. In fact, I have only soft blocked the IP range on this wiki - the block log is very instructive. There are two appropriate things to try before anything else. The first is to ensure you are not using some kind of proxy, which you might be able to disable. The second is to ask a steward (in this case starting with User:Krd) to either reduce it to a soft block, or to grant you global IP block exemption. Since you're a commons sysop I assume you know how to follow that up, but if there are further issues drop me another note. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:24, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello ,



It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to and  who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to, , and who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
 * Year in review

has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
 * Reviewer of the Year

As a special recognition and thank you has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

On our project Sarita Rai is requested for speedy, and reviewing the page, I found you started her article here on the English Wikipedia, and it survives for years. So I'd ask you an opinion on that page: if those quotes are legitimate, if the article can be expanded, and so on. The page doesn't follow our WQ:MOS and several similar styled pages were recently created, so I think it is reasonable for our community to consider them as spam, and on Google, I failed to find her notable, but it could be different in other languages. So I ask your help and thought on that. Cheers, --Aphaia (talk) 20:36, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

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.

Nomination of Gurdeep Singh (NTPC) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gurdeep Singh (NTPC) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Gurdeep Singh (NTPC) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Iitianeditor (talk) 01:04, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest. Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

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.

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.

Hello Sir, I'm an Indian wikipedian and I got blocked in Commons I've already explained what I did and now understand all Commons policies and will not violate them in future. Can you unblock me ? STATZET (talk) 04:54, 2 August 2022 (UTC)


 * @STATZET You have already requested to be unblocked on your Commons talk page. I think you should wait for the outcome of that request. - FitIndia  Talk (Admin/CheckUser on Commons) 18:51, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I did but the blocking admin didn't respond me as I've already explained everything. I'm really helpless right now. STATZET (talk) 19:34, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

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.
