A favor please?
Earlier this year, I noticed that our article on Thomas C. Hindman contained a number of errors/omissions (it had been a featured article since 2007!) and I rewrote it essentially from scratch in April. Would you be willing to give it a skim at some point to make sure I didn't mess anything up with it? Hog Farm Talk 02:54, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking over it briefly, I think the prose is pretty good. One omission is that Hindman ended up in a feud with William Clark Falkner in the Mexican War that turned deadly, resulting in the murder of Hindman's younger brother when they returned from Mexico. This is described in Winders' Panting for Glory, an excellent history of the Mississippi Rifles (TAMU, 2016). Some other works that you could consult are Earl Hess' on Bragg for Hindman's relationship with Bragg, and his detailed history of Kennesaw Mountain. Kges1901 (talk) 04:02, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Looks like I can get Winders and Hess's work on Bragg for the local library - will try to get those when I have a chance. I've got Falkner's murder of the brother in there, but I don't remember Neal and Kremm getting into details of Hindman's pre-murder feud with Falkner. Hog Farm Talk 04:22, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

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. 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.
 * To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
 * Notes

Oberrender, or why the heck do sources hate talking about radar so much
I have a problem that I had thought I had found a solution to at one of your FAs, but I only found greater confusion. I am troubled by the lack of discussion in any sources I've found and could access to on US Navy destroyers about what radar was on which specific ships; just what radar sets were out there and maybe their intended role. When I checked your article's references (specifically, Friedmann 1981, pp. 146 & 149), I could not corroborate that either of the radar mentioned in the article were actually on the Oberrender, likewise any radar that might have been on USS Johnston (DD-557). There was a line about a certain radar version being intended for DDEs, but that was it in Oberrender's regard. So I have to wonder, is there just somewhere I haven't looked yet, or should I give up on finding an RS for USN radar? – ♠Vami _IV†♠  06:43, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * IIRC the radar was mentioned in Friedman's book as having been on the early Butler-class hull numbers. I got lucky with USS O'Flaherty mentioning a broken radar in her war diary, but otherwise I'm not sure that there is detailed coverage. I wouldn't get too hung up on it because the primary notability of these ships to me is there combat role, not highly technical equipment details. Kges1901 (talk) 13:32, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
