translation request
Good evening from Coreca, I write to greet you and know how you are, in addition to this to thank you for your timely intervention on the article, I wondered if you could help me to improve a couple of articles in English and German. For English I would need a re-reading for Sabrina Ferilli and an improvement for Katrin Heß, for the German I would need a translation for Milena Miconi, Fanny Cadeo and Barbara Chiappini. Of course your kindness will be reciprocated, I will help you in Italian, Sicilian, Neapolitan and other Romance languages that I know a little. I hope you can understand and help me. a greeting from Calabria.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 16:58, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello Thank you for the kind words. As a matter of fact, I'm not hugely interested in biography articles (more esp. the biographies of living persons) but I'll be happy to translate Katrin Heß into English for you. The other articles you are talking about is not exactly up to standards. Thank you so much for your offer of assistance. Best Ivec os  (t) 07:51, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex Shih (talk) 05:10, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages
I see you recently accepted a pending change to January 16. I looked for a source for this date of birth in the Kabir Bedi article and it was unsupported by any source there either.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

Please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 14:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I looked at Kiran Bedi's article, only by previewing the first part of the article (using WP:POPUPS), which confirmed their addition. I always use Google instead of Wikipedia for verifiability (observing WP:USERGENERATED). Through a simple google search I found several articles on his birthday, so I decided to accept their change. My policy is to correct poor edits, and keep things legit as much I can. Yes, I do agree that I missed WP:BURDEN thing. Adding source was my responsibility. And I will restore that content. Thanks again. Ivec os (t) 18:33, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Please don't revert sourced edits
You have reverted my edit on Binod Bihari Chowdhury. Please show me a source which says he was an Indian. If you cant't then don't revert my sourced edits. This is a vandalism on your part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.127.246.106 (talk • contribs) 09:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * He was born in undivided India, so he was an Indian by birth. Would you mind explaining what's your rationale behind the changing: Indian independence activist to anti-colonial revolutionary in the lead sentence? How it is misleading? If you need to know what falls under vandalism, read WP:VANDALISM. Best! Ivec os (t) 13:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I never removed information on his involvement with Indian Independence Movement, but this wasn't his only identity at all since he was also involved in other areas as well. Please read the whole para before reverting you unnecessarily fighting here. And "India" refers to republic of India, he was born in British India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.127.246.106 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

And also in South Asia article, you are not adhering to neutral point of view, since I have compromised by adding both the cities since both are major cities. Please don't fight unnecessarily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.127.246.106 (talk • contribs) 08:13, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It seems all the warnings are having no affect on you. You seem to be hell bent on introducing your POV to an important geographic article. Please use the article's talk page to discuss any further edits. Best! Ivec os (t) 11:02, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

About Dina Carol
Dina Carol is the largest sporting event retainer in Indonesia, even Southeast Asia, with her sporting event organizer called GOIFEX. In 2016 in Jakarta, Dina Carol once held Zumba's very crowded gymnastics event so it was almost crowned as Zumba gymnastics with the most participants in the world by Guinness World Record. Dina Carol also often organizes bodybuilding, fitness, gymnastics, yoga, sports games, even bodybuilding matches that she organizes have been scheduled each year to be held by the Indonesian government. And what's amazing is that Dina Carol also often hosts Mix Martial Art and Boxing matches. Her busy friends always support Dina, including Ade Rai (international bodybuilder) and Chris John (international boxer). And Indonesia vice president Jusuf Kalla once inaugurated GOIFEX ASIAN GAMES EXPO INDONESIA 2018 organized by Dina Carol. Hopefully the English Wikipedia administrator can keep Dina Carol's article.

How to add stuff to wikipedia pages without it being copyright
Dear Ivecos, I want to know How to add stuff to wikipedia pages without it being copyright. I thought adding the link to the website you are taking information from was what you are supposed to do. I'm going to be editing another article soon so can you please tell me how to do it the right way?

Thanks, Johnster222 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnster222 (talk • contribs) 20:38, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Summarise multiple sources in your own words and footnote it to where you got the information. The page Copyright violations outlines Wikipedia's rules about copying text and about too-close paraphrasing. Read Close paraphrasing also. You'll also want to check Image use policy for information about uploading images/media. Good luck!  Doreen  Reinders  05:29, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

WP:WikiProject Deletion sorting/United States of America
Reads in part 'This is a high level category for deletion sorting. It is strongly recommended you do not add discussions directly to it. Instead, please add them to a more specific category, such as a state and/or relevant subject area.' Your inclusion of WP:Articles for deletion/Barbara L. Wegener at USA AFDs was obviously incorrect because Wegener is obviously from Florida....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:51, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Why my page was deleted
Dear, Why my company page eresourceerp deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virtualsunil (talk • contribs) 12:58, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The article has been speedily deleted because it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, i.e., why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for companies, you may want to check out WP:CORP. Since you have a COI, which you have disclosed, consider using the Article Wizard. Thank you! Ivec os  (t) 16:38, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:IORA logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:IORA logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:09, 29 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.

 * 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.

NPP Backlog Elimination Drive
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel: there are currently 2900 unreviewed articles, and 4000 unreviewed redirects.

Announcing the Backlog Elimination Drive! Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  06:57, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * As a final push, we have decided to run a backlog elimination drive from the 20th to the 30th of June.
 * Reviewers who review at least 50 articles or redirects will receive a Special Edition NPP Barnstar: NPPbarnstar SE.png. Those who review 100, 250, 500, or 1000 pages will also receive tiered awards: RR3217-0014 100 rubles USSR 1989 Gold avers.png, Swiss-Commemorative-Coin-1991-CHF-250-reverse.png, Coin of Kazakhstan 500Thinker averse.png, US-$1000-SC-1878-FR-346a-PROOF.jpg.
 * Please do not be hasty, take your time and fully review each page. It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
