New Page Review - newsletter No.2
Hello , We now have New Page Reviewers! Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October. The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work! It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to. Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten. This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody,  and
 * A HUGE backlog
 * Second set of eyes

Xu Yang (speed skater)
Hello JTtheOG. Thanks for reviewing of my first article in EN:WP, although I have made some other edits here and created some redirects and a few categories. The Xu Yang -article, can you tell me if it was an okay start for an article in this wikipedia-language ? I am mostly active on NO:WP (Norwegian bokmål-riksmål language wikipedia). PS. I am not hundred percent sure if I got the name of this person correct as per chinesian way of naming standards for first and last name. Best regards Migrant (talk) 21:57, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Willace Bowen
My computer hung while I was creating a redirect for this. I've tried twice to do the redirect. It is necessary because this historically significant Canadian had multiple name spellings, but standardized on the one in the redirect. I thought I was now not autopatrolled and would have been allowed to complete a redirect. The move feature was disabled for some reason. -- Westendgirl (talk) 01:28, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Were you able to create it? And I thought someone had mistakenly patrolled it without tagging it; that's my bad. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though, I'll be on the lookout for that next time. :) JTtheOG (talk) 01:44, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi JTtheOG I notice that you have reviewed a number of the rugby union club pages I created - thank you. I have a query regarding another page I created, Penryn RFC, which is not appearing on any Google searches (although an image I used for the page does). I was wondering if you had any idea why this is the case? Thanks. Jgjsmith006 (talk) 20:20, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi! Great job on the articles. I know there is a technical reason regarding web crawlers and indexing, but I don't know enough on the subject to explain it correctly to someone else. It may have just been that it hasn't been patrolled until just now. Let me know if it is not solved, because I have been curious about this issue for awhile, too. Happy editing!

OhioBasketball
Why did you nominate my article for a speedy deletion? That makes no sense. I gave credit to the athlete. So, stay off my page. Thank you. Also stop messing up peoples articles, they put hard work into them.

Hey. I nominated your article because he does not meet the general notability guideline set by Wikipedia. If you want to make an article on someone, you have to make sure he/she has received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If they have not, they are not notable enough to have an article about them. Unless you can cite multiple sources online to confirm this player's notability, this article will be deleted. Especially for a player who has not reached the college level yet, sources are essential to establish their notability since they have not yet proven themselves at a higher level. Look at someone like LaMelo Ball. Since he's only a high school player, he has 36 sources from sites such as ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sports, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, etc. JTtheOG (talk) 04:25, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Jonathan Wells
Hey! I wanted to know if you could help me out with an article I came across while patrolling the recent changes page. I'm not familiar with American Football at all; I tried to gather as much knowledge from what I'd heard of the sport and try and figure things out myself but failed eventually and had to search up WikiProject American football as a final resort. The page is I wanted help with is Jonathan Wells (American football). I reached out to you because there were some suspicious changes to the numbers under the "rushing statistics" table made by an IP and I was unable to cross-check the source myself and revert if needed. The "rushing statistics" table on the page has statistics of games from 1998-2001 while the NFL player stats shows statistics from 2002-2005. Is that maybe because the the info is out-dated? Hope to see a reply soon! Jiten Dhandha •  talk  •  contributions  • 17:42, 29 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi! The rushing stats table on the Wells page details his rushing statistics during his college career at Ohio State University, which spanned from 1998-2001. He started playing professional football in 2002, where he recorded 1167 yards between 2002-2005. I do see how it can be confusing, because there's a high school career section, followed by a college career section, and then it immediately jumps to his post-football career. If you wanted to help the page, I'd suggest adding a section with details on his pro career with the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts, complete with sources. JTtheOG (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply! This is slighlty embarrassing for me because I dont know how I could've missed the big heading: "College career" (because I did miss it). I'll see if I can get around to doing some research before updating the pages. Cheers! Jiten Dhandha  •  talk  •  contributions  • 22:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Matthew Mancinelli, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Trophy Kids. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4
Hello ,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just reviews, the  backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Can you help verify translations of articles from Spanish
Hello JTtheOG,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Spanish to English Wikipedia?



This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Spanish article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Spanish, using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Spanish. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great.

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Spanish article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates Pass and Fail may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elinruby (talk • contribs) 07:47, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Backlog update: Outreach and Invitations:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
 * Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
 * If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: . Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.

Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

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

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

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:


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

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
