Serious question
Do you think that an IP editor who says "Wikipedia is dominated by ax-grinders, mostly from the left," is here to improve the project? Fred Zepelin (talk) 22:25, 13 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Not exactly, but your previous comments on that page made me think of the question to ask you. Kline &#124; yes? 22:47, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm very pro-IP-editor. I'm not pro-believe-that-all-these-IPs-are-different-people on that talk page. There's sockpuppets and meatpuppets all over that discussion, and those particular IPs should be disregarded. One was already blocked for sockpuppetry. Fred Zepelin (talk) 00:32, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah. Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining. Kline &#124; yes? 03:52, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Kline. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Anarchyte ( talk ) 11:16, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only . Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
 * Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

HI I'm sorry you rejected my page. I'm doing my best, I don't understand why!!! I've been working on this page for months, but I always get rejected. It's not right! I love Wikipedia, and I trust I support it very much, silently, but I support it. I would like to create other pages, but if they don't accept me on this one I think I'll throw in the towel. It's not fair because there are pages accepted without funds, why?

Cinefilm (talk) 14:59, 10 October 2023 (UTC)


 * @Cinefilm It's a hard process to get accepted in AfC if you don't do it properly. Even I had my problems, but if you follow the comments given by me and other reviewers, you should be able to get it past and into the mainspace. If you need anymore help feel free to ask.

Please be careful next time when making edits in discussions
Be careful when you make edits like this in discussions. The person who added this was the one who bought up the discussion and was trying to make a comment on what someone else had said. By adding what you thought their position was without checking first, you caused confusion because me and some other editors thought they were potentially trying to sway the vote into their favor by adding their view twice. This is not a condemnation of what you did, but just a word of caution because others may not be as nice about something like this as I am here. Chess Eric  16:49, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello Kline:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case, I have already emailed them and I have been waiting for over a month with absolutely no answer. I don't know what's going on but I just want a response so I can get back to editing. Kline • talk to me! • contribs 14:23, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

OK, I've given you three months of IPBE. Hopefully by then they will have responded. And if not, and you continue to edit the way you have for the past four years, then that would be an argument for permanent IPBE. Daniel Case (talk) 21:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Alright, thank you very much for the help. If they don't email back in the next three, I'll ask again. Thanks again for the help! Kline • talk to me! • contribs 23:04, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi Kline. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for maintenance so that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
 * Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
 * Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

 * @82.84.225.97 iTunes does not count as a source and the first source is a chart listing. The second source looks alright though, might want to look for more sources like that. Kline • talk to me! • contribs 20:41, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Tankeshwar Kumar
Yesterday I submitted an article on a professor named Draft:Tankeshwar Kumar and the message left by you said that this article does not follow notability guidelines. And out of that 8 criteria i think this article follows 6th critera which states that “The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.” Because he is currently vice chancellor at Central University of Haryana and vice chancellor is the heighest post in a university in india and the university is also a central university and not a private and he has been also a member of National Academy of Sciences. I have updated the article today with some other references and also created a award section which may help. Thanks TheSlumPanda (talk) 07:37, 14 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @TheSlumPanda I declined at the time due to the references in the article not passing WP:GNG. If you do add more sources that do follow the guidelines, you might have more luck in getting it into mainspace. Kline • talk to me! • contribs 16:48, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Your draft article, Draft:پیش‌نویس:Mehdi Jahangiri


Hello, Kline. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "پیش‌نویس:Mehdi Jahangiri".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Many thanks, BernardusMallus --BernardusMallus (talk) 07:15, 9 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello @BernardusMallus and welcome to Wikipedia! The best way for you to get your article accepted into the Wikipedia mainspace would be to put it through articles for creation, where you can get advice and a review on whether it needs improvement. If you want any advice from me, I'd be happy to help. Cheers! Kline • talk • contribs 13:53, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much @Kline - that's very useful - much appreciated. BernardusMallus (talk) 20:05, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks again @Kline - I've moved the article here now and have requested an edit. Great if you can take a quick look and suggest any changes - all feedback is welcome. BernardusMallus (talk) 00:44, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You're welcome @BernardusMallus, I've taken a quick look and I would recommend that you state what she does in the lead as the first thing. Wikipedia likes to note why they are notable first and foremost. A second recommendation would be converting the table you have into an infobox. My third and final recommendation for now is to remove any external links and potentially convert them into wikilinks if possible. Kline • talk • contribs 19:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks again @Kline, I've fixed the lead, changed to an InfoBox, and removed some external links. An important link is to the organisation NAKO, which is only on Ukrainian wikipedia, so that one remains.  BernardusMallus (talk) 13:13, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from VeniceBreeze (18:48, 23 May 2024)
I am curious as to why Beastie Boys Square would be merged with Paul's Boutique when there are hundreds of articles dating back 15 years... Doesn't seem appropriate to merge a destination in NYC to an album when there is justification and a story --VeniceBreeze (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @VeniceBreeze I've looked at the discussion and it seems like they believe it can be merged with another article as the content currently in the article can be put in another article with context. If you can put some more information, perhaps they will rethink their decision on whether to merge. Kline • talk • contribs 21:27, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I did put more and there is plenty more to do but i shouldnt have to deliver a front page article to prove this has independent notability from the album. There are articles in Europe dating back to 2013. The page is 3 days old.. let it develop before you assasinate it. They have a huge fanbase to contribute to the article. Thanks though. VeniceBreeze (talk) 01:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @VeniceBreeze A good place to develop the article without it being deleted would be the draftspace. You have plenty of time to improve the article there and then move it back, hopefully without any concerns. Kline • talk • contribs 01:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't want to talk about it.. it's so ridiculous it just will make me mad. Please don't bother me anymore. VeniceBreeze (talk) 01:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Fishman5518 (23:00, 25 May 2024)
Hello Kline, I have a question about writing my first article. I want to write an article about McLaren's Bikes past and present. I would like to know how to cite sources and references. Thank you Fishman5518 --Fishman5518 (talk) 23:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello and welcome to Wikipedia @Fishman5518! A perfect page for that would be this right here. That page should show you the basics of citing and references. Kline • talk • contribs 23:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from War Term (23:13, 29 May 2024)
Hello,

How can I be able to expand my scope of edits? --wɔːr (talk) 23:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello and welcome to Wikipedia @War Term! I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the question, could you explain further? Cheers! Kline • talk • contribs 00:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I have interest on politics, war and history. Where do I find specific articles to edit on them? wɔːr (talk) 05:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @War Term A good place to look would be the Wikipedia contents page. There is plenty of digging you can do in there. There is also a very active military history WikiProject if that might interest you. Kline • talk • contribs 22:58, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks wɔːr (talk) 05:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sqrysl (18:29, 30 May 2024)
hello! i would like to know how to create a page? --Sqrysl (talk) 18:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello and welcome to Wikipedia @Sqrysl! Creating an article is a hard task to do for a newcomer but if you're up for the task, there's always help at this page. This will help you throughout the article process. Cheers! Kline • talk • contribs 23:00, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikimedia commons
I found this national anthem on Wikimedia Commons. Please, help me to check if it is free from copyright. I wanted to add it on Nigeria, We Hail Thee and Nigeria. Thank you wɔːr (talk) 06:33, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @War Term If I'm correct, it should be cleared to be used on Wikipedia and added to both pages. Kline • talk • contribs 12:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes,but don't know how to clear it. Or did I really misunderstood what you mean by "clear"? ENGAGE (talk) 12:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @War Term It's currently uploaded with no objections, which means it should be alright to use. I don't see anything wrong copyright-wise. Kline • talk • contribs 22:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you Mentor Chat Term talk 23:01, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
