Enclave law DYK
Hi Narutolovehinata5, is there anything I can do to support my request to you at the Enclave Law DYK? I invest a lot of time at DYK (I have 22 credits and have two other nominations at the moment - Earth's circumference and Cartography of Jerusalem). There have been lots of delays to this Enclave Law nomination. This last delay, since it was approved on 8 January, seems to be just a misunderstanding, which I have now tried to explain.

Regards, Onceinawhile (talk) 17:59, 20 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your suggestion. Shrike has responded positively. I am wondering how to ensure that the long thread since Shrike’s original comment doesn’t distract the DYK admins. If you are happy to strike your DYKno, I thought about putting the thread in a collapsible box, but only if you agree?
 * Onceinawhile (talk) 21:42, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's necessary, all that's needed is for me, Shrike, or another editor, to give a final approval tick, perhaps with some bold in the comment to emphasize it, then let it pass. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:51, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, makes sense? Are you happy to do so now? Shrike can’t approve it because he has been involved in editing the article. Onceinawhile (talk) 18:57, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Hey, how are you doing? I have been meaning to add a certain analysis in regards to Shirou Emiya. It involves his relationships that can be formed in the Fate/stay night' visual novel and it is discussed by Nasu and Urobuchi. However, a copyeditor removed it from the page.

Template:Did you know nominations/All India Azad Muslim Conference
Narutolovehinata5, your post here on February 5 indicated that a full review would follow; it's been over three weeks. Your comment basically made suggestions but not ones that had to be implemented, so it's not surprising that the nominator hasn't done any work at all or responded—they may well be waiting for the completed review before getting to work. If you aren't planning on reviewing this, please let me know and I'll add it to the list of nominations needing a DYK reviewer. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:16, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I was originally intending to wait for a reply from the nominator and/or for them to make edits to the article before doing the full review, which appears to have not happened. I left them another message on the nomination page, in any case. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 20:31, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Bringing Shirou Emiya to GA
Because the peer review was quite silent, I decided to nominate Shirou Emiya to GA. The article is large but it has been copyedited three times. If possible, could you review it?

NPR Newsletter No.17


Hello ,


 * News
 * The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.


 * Discussions of interest
 * Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
 * db-blankdraft was merged into G13 (Discussion)
 * A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
 * There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.


 * Reminders
 * NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD  because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.


 * NPP Tools Report
 * Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
 * copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
 * The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Go for RfA?!
Hi there,

I was just looking back over last year's Admin Polls, and you were one of a handful who got a universally high score - and one of only a couple that everyone said "yep, would be a great admin" Link

I was wondering if you were considering going for it? Nosebagbear (talk) 14:41, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but after that poll and giving it some thought, I don't think adminship is really for me. RfA is toxic as it is, and for the most part I'm satisfied with the kind of work I'm doing and don't really need the tools at this point. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:52, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Copy edit request of Proposed 2019 amendment to the Constitution of Malaysia
Hi, just thought I'd pop you a message regarding your request. This is taking a lot longer than I had anticipated as it's turned into less of an exercise of just fixing some of the grammar and more of a fine tooth comb inspection of the article. I've run into a lot of copyvio amid the borderline POV violating text so I'm checking each source as I go to make sure I scrub the copyvios. --Blackmane (talk) 12:37, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Opera roles
May I explain a bit about opera and its roles, to avoid the friction in DYK noms that I find eats up too much of my time? I am in the process of expanding Melanie Diener, and would like to include you in the process of finding a hook. Just to explain something, let's assume to mention her singing Donna Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni. This would give newbies to the topic an iconic opera on an iconic subject, and would tell someone who knows what kind of voice she has. There are three leading soprano roles in that work, Donna Anna (dramatic + coloratura), Donna Elvira (lyric + coloratura) and Zerlina (lyric, but much ligter, almost soubrette). By naming one of these roles, I avoid technical terms of voice description, do you see that? - Voceditenore is my authority for opera who has guided me almost from the beginning. I think her suggestion for "Ruth" is fine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:42, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * That really won't allay the concerns raised by editors regarding roles hooks I'm afraid. My suggestion for you is, if possible and you can find information about it, is to try to write a hook that involves something she did other than her roles. Like for example, if she won an award or was praised for something. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:37, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd rather give up DYK altogether than not writing about what an opera singer does best and is known for. Awards and praise only follow, and praise is often pov wording. - Would you kindly answer my questions, one about a role name being better than a technical description of a voice type, and the other about the hook (ALT4) by Voceditenore which I think is a fair compromise and you reject? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * For the first question, it doesn't matter if it's a technical description or a role name. If it's still a hook that basically goes "that opera singer X played the role of role Y in opera Z'", then it remains a magnet for complaints. I know that some similar hooks have been approved and got promoted in the past, but there has been increasing resistance recently among editors, so for the benefit of all, I'd really suggest that you at least for now try to avoid such hooks.


 * For the second, as I've explained many times, you should really not overestimate people's familiarity with opera. It may be that the opera is well-known among classical music fans (as I have admittedly little knowledge of the subject matter and you are the expert, please feel free to explain), but I really doubt if the average reader knows or cares. Instead of focusing on the roles themselves or the works themselves, try to add an aspect that would catch the attention of even those unfamiliar with the subject matter. For example, something like "John Doe played the role of Giovanni in Opera A" does not make for a wide-appealing hook. Neither is "John Doe, who played Giovanni in Opera A, played Johannes in Opera B". But something like "John Doe's portrayal of in Giovanni in Opera A was described by critics as 'being the closest ever to the composer's vision'" would. A hook that went something like "John Doe, who has played roles such as Giovanni in Opera A and Johannes in Opera B, is also a practicing lawyer?" also appeals to a broad audience while still mentioning the roles. Your proposals at Template:Did you know nominations/Sylvia Geszty regarding her performing in both East and West Germany are actually steps in the right direction when it comes to how to propose a hook that would interest non-opera fans.


 * Considering as ALT4 does appear to be the last remaining option for the nomination, I am kind of open to allowing it, but the problem is that I don't know if the wording or hook fact will be enough to satisfy concerns being raised at WT:DYK on these roles hooks. If you need help on other possible suggestions, you can ask another editor such as or  who may be willing to help you as well. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:14, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Sigh: I had two simple questions. Repeeating:
 * Do you understand that naming Elvira, a role with a good story in an iconic opera, is better than (the equivalent) saying that Diener is a lyric coloratura soprano, - yes or no?
 * Is ALT4 a valid ooption? Then please undo your marking for closure. I have no time for more right now, travelling today and tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:21, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * For the first question, I'm going to be direct to the point: neither will work at this point, I'm afraid. For the second option, I'm open to it, but considering the resistance to roles hooks, there would need to be consensus and comments of approval from multiple editors first. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:22, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, saw myself pinged in this discussion. In addition to the alternative wordings that Narutolovehinata5 suggested above, I suggest writing hooks that spell out the unusual/unique/special point you want to make. Like: "that opera singer X performed as Y for the XYZ opera, a particularly demanding role considering the music and staging?" Yoninah (talk) 13:38, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello ,

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important. Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR. The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever. NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so  you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations. Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for  the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging. Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway. School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Fringe topics concerns?
I take issue with your comment here - diff. Joanna Tokarska-Bakir is a Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Institute of Slavic Studies, Polish Academy of Science. She has a h-index of 18. I won't get into the actual misrepresentation of Pawel Dobrosielski's technical report (he actually agree with Tokarska-Bakir) on the nomination page. Stating that this has "fringe topics concerns" is a BLP issue vs. the cited scholars (as well as what would seem to be an editorial conduct allegation - and this to an article with top notch references), and I suggest you strike this. Note also that everyone that commented on the nomination prior to you (ignoring EEng's "tread carefully" comment) - was involved in the article. Icewhiz (talk) 06:18, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Note that when I said that there were "possible fringe topics concerns", I was referring to the state of the nomination and not necessarily the article. I will admit that the subject matter is outside my line of expertise so I cannot necessarily comment on whether or not the information in the article is fringe or not. What I did notice was that, other than EEng's comment, there had been no major activity since earlier on in May, and it appeared that no agreement could be reached as to how to handle the apparent issues that were raised by editors. It was due to these circumstances that I marked the nomination for closure. If you wish to appeal and have it re-opened, I suggest you either contact (who was the one who actually closed it) or start a discussion at WT:DYK. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:55, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I did contact SL93 - however I take great issue with your statement that the nomination or the article had fringe content. A very involved editor, on the nomination, raised a (rather non-policy based) objection to Tokarska-Bakir. Tokarska-Bakir is a rather well regarded academic (presently - Chair of the Ethnic and National Relations Study, Institute of Slavic Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw - ) - she's definitely not in fringe turf, and this was published in a mainstream outlet (and widely cited as literature afterwards) on a topic well within her expertise. You made a statement here of your own volition - no one else mentioned "fringe" on the page - and this is either a conduct allegation vs. me or an allegation vs. a BLP scholar - you should strike this. The reason the nomination has been so silent in a concurrent ARBCOM case. In terms of nomination itself - there are no tags on any of the relevant pages, and objections to Tokarska-Bakir leave quite a few other hooks viable - the main one, ALT1, and ALT4 (which all should be good to go given article state and DYK comments). I myself saw little reason to continue bickering over Tokarska-Bakir given that other hooks were available and that the commentator objecting to Tokarska-Bakir was involved in the article. Icewhiz (talk) 09:27, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if you got what I said. Me saying that there were fringe concerns was an observation of the discussion, not the article, as this was a reflection of the comments said by MyMoloboaccount (and to a lesser extent Piotrus, although their comments apparently actually had more to do with a different linked article). These are not necessarily my own opinions about the article: as I mentioned previously, I am not an expert on this topic and I know nothing about it, so I admit I am not the best person to decide which is "fringe" and what isn't. Again, my mention of the word "fringe" was about the nomination and not the article. And I'm not sure why you are taking offense with my words, with when all I did was mark the nomination for closure. It was MyMoloboaccount who had raised concerns about the reliability of the claims, not me. If you have issues with the comments, it would probably be a better idea to discuss it with them, not me. In any case, I will start a discussion over at WT:DYK and see if another editor is willing to take another look at it. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:45, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The sole editor mentioning "fringe" - was yourself - this is a serious conduct allegation towards me if you are asserting that the hooks are fringe. Considering that the hooks involved are attributed quotes of the Chair of the Ethnic and National Relations Study, Institute of Slavic Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences - that's a pretty bizarre claim . Piotrus did not mention fringe concerns - he mentioned a NPOV tag that was since removed, and he agreed with at least some of the hooks. There are no open tag on the article - and several of the hooks are unobjected to - the main one, ALT1, and ALT4. If you are reviewing a hook - you are expected to review - not make a passing observation based on what someone else said (who did not even say that). In any case - I request you strike your allegations that any of the content in the nomination is fringe. Icewhiz (talk) 09:52, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I really don't understand why you're taking this personally. I have mentioned already that the wording referred to the state of the nomination, not the articles and not even the hooks. The comments were in no way intended to be a reflection on your edits or you as a person. And I was not even reviewing the article, all I did was mark the nomination for closure since, other than EEng's comment, there was no activity since May. If there were problems that you wanted addresses as soon as possible, I don't see why you couldn't have tried to do so during that timeframe, such as discussing with the other commenters. In any case I already started a DYK discussion, so if the consensus states that the content is not fringe, then I will strike my comments. But I would suggest that the nomination not be reopened unless the consensus there is to do so. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:05, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * You asserted my nomination was fringe - so yes - I am quite irate at that - and unless you have an actual policy and source based way to make that claim - that is a personal attack (as well as a BLP issue vs. Tokarska-Bakir), which you should strike. As for discussing - the nomination was good to go from May. The tags on the page were resolved. There were some objections to some of the hooks (which I chose not to debate further - those involving Tokarska-Bakir) - several other hooks were not objected to (and even supported by Piotrus). The nomination was waiting for someone uninvolved to come along and make an actual review - I had little cause to discuss anything further with MyMoloboaccount (there was little need to repeat myself) - as there were other hooks which weren't objected to. Icewhiz (talk) 10:22, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

In any case, I've struck out the "fringe" wording. I hope this solves your issue. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:22, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Prep 3
Hi, I see you linked The Great Escape. Actually, I was thinking of leaving it unlinked. On the discussion page, the reviewer knew it was a British thing, but frankly, I thought it might have been an escape from a Nazi concentration camp. It's in the quirky slot, so not everything needs to be spelled out. Yoninah (talk) 22:35, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of this, but the thing is, "The Great Escape" is kinda vague since there have been plenty of events with that name (in fact, "The Great Escape" is a common term particularly in association football, as it's a frequent description for teams avoiding relegation). And come to think of it, I don't even think it should be in the quirky slot since it sounds pretty straightforward and not really "quirky". Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:06, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I hear you, but the quotes around "watcher" do make it quirky. And it's too short to keep inside the set. Regarding the "Great Escape", the article and the link put "the" outside the quotes, so I'll tweak that. Yoninah (talk) 23:10, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, it might be better to just shuffle it out to a later prep (and perhaps in the non-quirky slot). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:14, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Huh? I'm reverting the changes and going back to no link. Let's see what others say. Yoninah (talk) 23:30, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

For the slender glass lizard hook verification, I found a PDF from Pocahontas County, Iowa's Conservation Corner newsletter and the search result snippet says, "Their naturalist correctly identified it as a slender glass lizard, one of Iowa's most ... that these pieces somehow reattach themselves or grow into new lizards." I tried opening the link, but all of their PDF files for the newsletter have error messages now. I did message them on Facebook to see if they have the whole sentence.

 * Ok, I will. I found the whole thing. "The slender glass lizard is named for its fragile tail that, when seized by a predator, shatters into moving pieces.

Alas, there’s no truth to the myth that these pieces somehow reattach themselves or grow into new lizards" SL93 (talk) 03:22, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

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.

DYK for Yū Sasahara
Gatoclass (talk) 00:02, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

DYK
Thank you for the article! The hook tells me nothing about her, only that she shares a story with many others: the parents don't want what a child dreams of. I will not protest against that kind of hooks, even if I don't understand them. Kindly consider to do the same with mine. I have real work to do here, Peter Handke, Nobel Prize winner with an article in sad condition today, and will be something else tomorrow. It's article work that counts, because they will stay. Hook wording is for one day, and not worth arsorbing thinking time for too long. Peace? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:32, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * In what aspects do you need help Gerda? Is it the hook wording, or hook suggestions? Or simply help on the article itself? I'm afraid the message you left above wasn't very clear. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:09, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:16, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't give it a header Peter Handke, I thanked you for your article about another voice actress. Does that help understanding? I mentioned Handke only to explain how much more I want to do work on the real articles, than argue about miniature details of a DYK hook wording. Handke had a 6-digit view number yesterday, - one of those reaches many more readers than even a stats hook.


 * From my workshop: today, I want to write to write about Joshua Guerrero who impressed me as Des Grieux in Puccini's Manon Lescaut at the Oper Frankfurt. I know nothing else about him yet. A hook saying just that would be enough, it mentions an interesting opera, Puccini's first success, after two failures before. Everybody loves La bohème, this is where it came from, let readers find out. It evokes a powerful drama, ending with death of the girl in the desert, some will know that, others can find out. Oper Frankfurt was opera house of the year 2018 and several times before, no nead to mention that again, some will know and others can find out. That's what defines "interesting" for me: something readers are offered to learn about if they don't know yet. look, video, 5bio --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:04, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not the expert in opera here, you are, so if I know nothing about the person then I can't give suggestions on what could be used as a hook. In any case, if it's about hook suggestions that you want to ask about, particularly something related to his opera career, one thing I could suggest is to see if reviews could be found on his performances. Perhaps there are quotes out there praising his work and giving unusual qualities about him. Another suggestion could be to see, for example, finding information about their personal life and highlighting an aspect that people wouldn't normally associate with opera, i.e. to highlight contrast (an example would be Isabelle Druet's interest in reggae, since most people probably wouldn't expect an opera singer to like reggae as well). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:22, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, you and I seem to speak different languages. I didn't ask you for advice about a hook about an article not yet written. I defended my choice. I will look for a review, but please keep in mind that ERRORS are sensitive for things not stricly factual, and a review is always the personal view of one critic (+ saying "a critic noted" makes a hook clumsy, imho). Something like Druet's interest in Reggae is nothing I would want to mention in the short line of a blurb. I might if in context of the great things she did, such in a TFA blurb (but perhaps not even then). For a living person, I try to say something that captures the essence of that person (who may read it!), not some cute quirky little aspect. - I remember the hook about an operatic soprano, article written by her daughter (with some help from project opera) who reported (on International Womens Day!) how happy her mother was, then 94, and alive only for a few more months. Imagine Ms. Druet, 30 years from now and reading in our archives that all we had to say about her was interest in Reggae.


 * I'd need hook help for the wording of Britten's Purcell Realizations (content is clear), and a suggestion (not promising to take it) for Clara Schumann, GA-to be. I am inclined - assuming that everybody knows already about marriage, and relation to Brahms - to mention tours to England and teaching 69 international student, assuming that what she really did unusually - being the first to play recital as we are used to today - will be nothing the general audience may grasp. I seriously consider FA for her, just to say a bit more ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:55, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry Gerda, but I'm having difficulties with understanding exactly what you want help for. You mention that you are seeking for help for Britten's Purcell Realizations and Clara Schumann; however, you did not mention either of those articles in your initial comment. You also mention Joshua Guerrero. So are you asking me to help out with the Realizations and Schumann articles? And in what specific way are you asking for help here? The comments you left above weren't exactly clear and were on a bit on the long side. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:35, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I am sorry to make you guessing. In my initial comment, I asked to please leave my hooks alone, to give me time for article work instead of forcing me to discuss hooks. You offered help for hook wording, and said I don't want it, then felt awful and not polite, rejecting a kind offer, and thought about for which hooks you could help, coming up with the two. No need for you to do anything. Did you check out the Anne Sharp hook and understand how much I want to say something about a BLP that the person can be proud of? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:53, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * (watching), this is a very strange thread. You seem to be concluding that someone shouldn't look at your hooks because you're too busy with new article content. So why are you nominating hooks? Yoninah (talk) 23:28, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you know that sometimes I ask myself that very question? ITN is much more rewarding, in terms of reaching readers. 104k were interested in Handke already before he reached the main page. I had the good feeling to reach interested people by improving the article from an almost unreferenced detailed list of controversies to a sourced article also mentioning literature. Next day 50k, and still 22k yesterday, - easily more than all DYK of 2019 together. It took me half a day, - the estimated time of a DYK hook discussion such as for the Britten mentioned above, which in the end may raise readership from 500 to 700, or for Druet mentioned above, where - yes - Reggae attracted a few more readers (1,390) than the average opera singer (700?), but which readers? By not mentioning opera at all, didn't we loose those who may have been interested in her? Just some thoughts. Back to an earlier question: do you understand how pleased I was with the Anne Sharp hook? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:48, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

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.

 * 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.

DYK for Jo Walker-Meador
I added another hook on the DYK for Jo Walker-Meador per request. Please review. Thanks. Chris (talk) 23:19, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Followed up on another hook. Let's hope the third time is the charm. Chris (talk) 23:39, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Please check my references for Bodyguard Kiba: Apocalypse of Carnage 2
You asked for references for the production staff in Bodyguard Kiba: Apocalypse of Carnage 2, which I provided in the form of screenshots from the credits. I resubmitted the article here but it was never checked. Now the images have been removed by Wikipedia bots but you still haven't approved the article. Could you please give me your e-mail address so that I could send you the screenshots directly? If you are unwilling to do that, I have provided the screenshots for you here. Please review them and see that my information is correct. Nicholas0 (talk) 14:13, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The cast could probably be cited to the film itself (the template exists for this purpose). The one that really needs an inline citation is the paragraph that starts with "The production designer was Wayne Chen"; screenshots are insufficient for Wikipedia referencing purposes, although I suppose they could be cited to the film itself if no online or offline references could be found. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:26, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I have cited the paragraph accordingly, but you can still check the screenshots I sent you to prove that I am not lying. Nicholas0 (talk) 01:31, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I never said or even implied that you were lying, only that references were needed. In fact, I'm assuming in good faith that the film's credits has the required information. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:48, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Hadiqa Bashir
Hi - Like you know, I am participating in WAM and the article on Hadiqa Bashir wasn't accepted. I see the reason and I understand that some facts need to be put as is. I have removed that part from the article as you indicated. I would love to know from you on how to best represent information that is as factual but doesn't come across as paraphrasing. I can learn a few things and would love your help. Thanks! --Parul Thakur (talk) 12:01, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It's relatively simple: the information could have been kept in the article, but instead of copying the source word-for-word, the paragraph could have instead been rewritten using your own words. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:30, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:31, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think I had copied the source word-to-word but I get your point. Will keep that in mind. Thank you!--Parul Thakur (talk) 13:23, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Merryll Saylan
Narutolovehinata5, this nomination had reached a seeming impasse, with nothing happening for three weeks, so I proposed two new alternate hook as variants of one of the prior ones that Gatoclass had objected to. Gatoclass has just responded positively to them, so as the person who had approved the prior hooks, I was wondering whether you could take a look and see whether you feel you can approve the new alt hooks. Thank you so much; it would be great to get this approved, or at least reactivated. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:06, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look later, I'm not on my phone right now.

Ehelepola Walauwa
Apologies for not checking. I transcribed that section from the article on Walauwas but failed to see whether this was a copyright violation. I have completely re-written this section. So if you have the time I'd appreciate it if you could re-assess whether it now meets the Asia Month criteria. Dan arndt (talk) 10:08, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Arbitration Case Opened
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals/Evidence. Please add your evidence by December 20, 2019, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, SQL Query me!  20:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Update to Fred Page
With respect to your question here, I have finally accessed information to update Fred Page with his professional and personal life. I have to drive 16 hours one way to get to Thunder Bay, but hopefully it was worth it. Cheers. Flibirigit (talk) 23:37, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Tnx for the ping at User_talk:Epmdejong, I didn't notice it somehow, otherwise I'd have talked to the student earlier. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:03, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

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 16:11, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

WT:DYK
Narutolovehinata5, the nominator has expanded the article to the point that it is now a 5× expansion. Can you please post to the discussion on the talk page, giving your thoughts on whether the nomination, which you closed earlier this month, should be reopened? Given their hard work and perseverence, I think it should at least be considered. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:40, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
