Re: Bingo
What a weird article ... and a weird topic for an article ... but it is probably notable enough. Per Google Maps it's in Siesta Park, which is yet another of the localities around here that doesn't have an article ... I've tried to fix the estate article up a bit.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello ,

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.
 * Backlog

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
 * Coordinator

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for  making  the occasional  mistake while  others can learn from  their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
 * This month's refresher course

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
 * Deletion tags

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
 * Paid editing


 * Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
 * Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent  enhancements to  the New Pages Feed and  features in the Curation  tool, and there are still more to  come. Due to the wealth  of information  now displayed by  ORES, reviewers are strongly  encouraged to  use the system now rather than Twinkle; it  will  also  correctly  populate the logs.
 * Not English
 * 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, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
 * Tools

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

New article Wawasan Nusantara
Hi JarrahTree! I just happened to see the new article Wawasan Nusantara. Does WP really need this article? Poor sources, doubtful notabilty. Even most Indonesians would scratch their head seeing this. Bring it to AfD? – Austronesier (talk) 09:27, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Stub maker 2000
Rather than filling up Justlettersandnumbers' talk page, I left the following for you there:


 * Hi. (Apologies in advance - I don't know how to do diffs). I'm basing the assertion on edit histories like Roman Catholic Diocese of Bayeux, where the history shows a series of edits between 18 and 24 Nov 2018 by D A R C 12345 which includes | one on 23 Nov by the IP address, surely by the same editor. Also, the combination of subjects - Australian local government, mediaeval French church subjects and ancient titular sees - is very distinctive. Also, the editing errors in the historical articles across the three identities are identical - to name just one, linking dates and centuries. I haven't yet got an explicit overlap between Stub maker and the IP address but is one needed? Is that enough for your purposes? All best, Ingratis (talk) 13:35, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

I've now found another article - Teutsind - where the IP address and Stub maker 2000 appear together (series of edits on 2 September), which would be quite a coincidence if they were not the same editor when compared to Roman Catholic Diocese of Bayeux as above, but I leave it to you to take forward more formally if you wish - I don't involve myself in this sort of thing.

Cumberland (1827 ship)
Hi JarrahTree, My apologies. I got so involved in further correcting the article after I saw your corrections I forgot to thank you. My key original error was to put W in the coords, not E, moving the locus into the Pacific Ocean, rather than just off WA. Once I got that sorted out everything else was clear.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Boats designed by Bruce Farr


A tag has been placed on Category:Boats designed by Bruce Farr requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Event coordinator granted
After reviewing your request for the " eventcoordinator " permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things: If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! — xaosflux  Talk 11:44, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
 * The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the " confirmed " permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
 * The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
 * Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.

Toodyay Post Office - is it still a post office or not?
I was just updating Australian Post Offices which divides the post office articles in each state into current post offices and former post offices. The WA ones were all listed as current but two are definitely former POs and, while the Toodyay Post Office article doesn't say either way, photos show no Australia Post signage and there is a modern building in Toodyay that claims to be the post office so I put it into the "former" list. But I just thought you might know for certain what the status is. Thanks Kerry (talk) 05:09, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * former post office, now a local arts & craft place, the current PO is on piesse street Gnangarra 11:24, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre
Hi Jarrah Tree, I just finished fixing up some aspects of the above article (i.e. infobox and categories). I then looked at the Talk Page and discovered that it had been nominated for deletion in 2016, the discussion agreed to deletion and the order to execute the article had not been carried out! Can you arrange for its disposal? Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 09:46, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Re: your hahaha
You mean that, right? I just couldn't help myself ... I went along there on the train today. Now I can finally say I've done it ... Graham 87 10:34, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

October 2019 Tree of Life Newsletter



 * October 2019&mdash;Issue 007


 * Tree of Life


 * Welcome to the Tree of Life newsletter!

{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%; background:#b6ecd0;" By request from another editor, this month I wrote an overview of ways that content is featured on Wikipedia. Below I have outlined some of the processes for getting content featured:
 * Alphabet Soup: Explaining DYK, GA, FA, and More

Did You Know (DYK)
What is it: A way for articles to appear on the main page of Wikipedia. A short hook in the format of "Did you know...that ___" presents unusual and interesting facts to the reader, hopefully making the reader want to click through to the article

How it works: The DYK process has fairly low barriers for participation. The eligibility criteria are few and relatively easy to meet. Some important guidelines: The process for creating the nomination is somewhat tedious. Instructions can be found here (official instructions) and here ("quick and nice" guide to DYK). Experience is the best teacher here, so don't be afraid to try and fail a few times. The last few DYK nominations I've done, however, have been with the help of SD0001's DYK-helper script, which makes the process a bit more streamlined (you create the template from a popup box on the article; created template is automatically transcluded to nominations page and article talk page)
 * To be eligible, article is either new (newly created or moved to mainspace), a 5x expansion, or passed a GA review. Its creation, expansion, or promotion to GA must have been in the past 7 days.
 * Article must be long enough, with more than 1,500 characters of prose (this doesn't include embedded lists)
 * I find Shubinator's DYKcheck script useful in determining whether an article is eligible for nomination.

Once your nomination is created and transcluded, it will need to be reviewed. The reviewer will check that the article meets the eligibility criteria, that the hook is short enough, cited, and interesting, and that other requirements are met, such as for images. If you've been credited with more than 5 DYKs, the reviewer will also check that you've reviewed someone else's nomination for each article that you nominate. This is called QPQ (quid pro quo). You can check how many credited DYKs you've had here to see if QPQ is required for you to nominate an article for DYK.

Good Article (GA)
What it is: A peer review process to determine that an article meets a set of criteria. This adds a symbol to the top of the article. About 1 in 200 articles on Wikipedia is a GA.

How it works: You follow the instructions to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Anyone can nominate an article&mdash;you don't have to be a major contributor, though it is considered polite to inform the major contributors that you are nominating the article. The article is added to a queue to await a review. In the ToL, it seems that reviews happen pretty quickly, thanks to our dedicated members. Once the review begins, the reviewer will offer suggestions to help the article meet the 6 GA criteria. Upon addressing all concerns, the reviewer will pass the article, and voilà! Good Article!

Advice to a first-time nominator: Look at other Good Articles in related areas before nominating. If you're unsure about nominating, consider posting to the talk page of your project to see what other editors think. You can also have a more experienced editor co-nominate the article with you.

Featured Article (FA)
What it is: An exhaustive peer review to determine that an articles meets the criteria. This adds a to the top of the article. About 1 in 1,000 articles on Wikipedia is a FA.

How it works: You follow the instructions to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Nominated articles are usually GAs already. Uninvolved editors can nominate, though the article's regular editors should be consulted first. Several editors will come by offering feedback, eventually supporting or opposing promotion to FA. A coordinator will determine if there is consensus to promote the article to FA. For an editor's first FA, spot checks to verify that the sources support the text are conducted.

Advice to a first-time nominator: The Featured Article Candidate (FAC) process is a bit intimidating, but several steps can make your first one easier (speaking as someone who has exactly one). If you also did the GA nomination of the article, you can ask the reviewer for "extra" feedback beyond the GA criteria. You can also formally request a peer review and/or a copy edit from the Guild of Copy Editors to check for content and mechanics. First-time nominators are encouraged to seek the help of a mentor for a higher likelihood of passing their first FAC.

Good and Featured Topics (GT and FT)
What it is: It took me a while to realize we even had GT and FT on Wikipedia, as they are not very common relative to GA and FA. Both GT and FT are collections of related articles of high quality (all articles at GA or FA, all lists at Featured List). GT/FT have to be at least 3 articles with no obvious gaps in coverage of the topic, along with other criteria. For GT, all articles have to be GA quality and all lists must be FL. For FT, at least half the articles must be FA or FL, with the remaining articles at GA.

How it works: Follow the nomination procedures for creating a new topic or adding an article to an existing topic. Other editors weigh in to support or oppose the proposal. Coordinators determine if there is consensus to promote to GT/FT.

Advice to a first-time nominator: There are very few GT/FT in Tree of Life (5 GT and 11 FT). Most of the legwork appears to be improving a cohesive set of articles to GA/FA.

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.
 * Arbitration Committee
 * Community Wish list

Thanks
Thanks mate. Wikipedia still just has too many dickheads for it to be a regular timesink - there really is a point at which if I'm going to deal with the hassle of that I need to get paid for my time - but I've been enjoying fiddling around the edges once in a while when in the mood. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 08:47, 3 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the welcome Jarrah. Those dickheads never get old... last visit I attracted one serious cuckoo who went all out. Kinda important fellow he was (his view) but a real windbag actually who annoyed quite a few up the tree due to his failure to read :D Anyway I had some free time today so I waltzed back for a bit. I'll leave some of the trash for others to clean before I head back to real life later tonight :D -- Longhair\talk 09:09, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Family businesses
Hi JarrahTree, you're listed as the creator of Category:Family businesses back in 2017, which had been deleted previously in a 2011 CfD. The new category still has the problems that led to the initial deletion, but since there's clearly an interest in the topic, I've opened a discussion at WP:Business as to how to proceed.-- choster (talk) 23:10, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Heritage sites
It's fine to have strong views, but you've got to be able to articulate why if you want other people to heed them. Our coverage of heritage sites in Queensland and New South Wales is objectively vastly better in breadth, depth and quality than on those in states where there hasn't been a CC-BY project, with South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania being particularly bad. WA is a bit of an exception due to the extensive local projects in some areas, which surpass the CC-BY efforts in at least breadth, but the breadth is very much concentrated in those areas, with even metropolitan National Trust museums still lacking articles. Even in places where the breadth of articles is okay, the user-created articles are heavily lacking in depth compared to the articles we've been able to get through CC-BY material. This is why an argument that is just "I don't like CC-BY material" is not something people are going to care very much about, or why calls for an evaluation are going to fall on deaf ears: the CC-BY material just holds up extremely well by any comparison.

Now, if there are things that can be fixed beyond "I don't like CC-BY content", they're things we can talk out and possibly walk through - but that requires that people explain what those issues actually are. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 07:02, 24 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Why would they be assessed separately to the process for any other article? You're absolutely correct that no one is interested in assessment, and that's always been substantially the case across the entire Australian WikiProject, largely because it's never served a clear purpose to many people beyond appearing in a metric that nobody much pays attention to: the assessment itself will be ticked off once with no real process and then maybe looked at it again in a decade. It's an issue that's got absolutely nothing to do with heritage places or CC-BY content, and the point and purpose of that assessment process needs a thorough evaluation much more than the addition of good content to the project does.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Transport ministries in Australia


A tag has been placed on Category:Transport ministries in Australia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

question...
Hi JarrahTree, as discussed a few weeks ago, I'm trying to have the company that I work for's page edited as it's very out of date. No one responded to my Talk page request so I've followed your advice and done a userspace draft. As I wanted to make edits rather than rewrite the whole article I'm not sure that's the way to go. Is there a better way for me to do this? Also, separate topic, I would like to start editing some non-conflict of interest pages, ideally starting with some simple language tidy-up type activities, any advice on where to start? thanks and happy Monday!

New Page Review newsletter December 2019


This year's Reviewer of the Year is. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
 * Reviewer of the Year

Special commendation again goes to who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to and  who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by.
 * Redirect autopatrol

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
 * Source Guide Discussion

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag. Delivered by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) at 16:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Happy New Year
My best wishes echo to everyone I've had a good relationship with. I don't feel benevolent enough yet to extend the same towards those I dislike.
