 * I have, but I'm a ittle concerned about the outlet and it is actually a video where Óscar Pérez can be seen clearly. I recall CNN in Spanish included the video while reporting, this is the segment if I'm not mistaken. If the sources are going to be included because of the negotiation, I should also note that Óscar published in several videos, in which the first one was about him explaining that there was a surrender in process. I see the article already include Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch statements regarding a extrajudicial execution.--Jamez42 (talk) 02:16, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: New Year Backlog Drive results:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
 * We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
 * We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
 * Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! ACTRIAL:
 * ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing
 * Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking  place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
 * While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:
 * WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 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.

Deletion tags
 * Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:
 * A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons
 * There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy
 * Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Re: Spanish politicians
Hello, Jamez42.

Thank you very much for your message and your work! The list facilitates the review.

In principle, I'm not interested in editing pages about politics, with certain exceptions. The issue of nationality seems important to me. Apollo is not the only one that is (was...) skewing / distorting information, unfortunately. Look for example and.

Best regards. --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk)  15:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The entire list reviewed! Surely there is more ... If you are so kind and you are interested, we can collaborate to correct the errors.
 * Best regards. --BallenaBlanca &#128051; ♂ (Talk)  16:05, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank! Sure thing, I found out the politicians with Apollo's review history. For the time being I added the articles to my watchlist to be wary of another edit war. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Cheers! --Jamez42 (talk) 16:16, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thoughts? --BallenaBlanca &#128051; ♂  (Talk)  17:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm personally alright with including both nationalities, especially if this is the consensus, some of the articles had them before the deletion of the Spanish nationality. What I don't think it's good it's deleting "Spanish", since as I explained to Apollo, communities in Spain have less autonomy than in other nations such as the United Kingdom. If this becomes bothersome, a dispute resolution could be asked. --Jamez42 (talk) 17:58, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If the concept is "two nationalities", then it is not correct to put "Basque Spanish" or "Catalan Spanish". In Spain there are no more nationalities, only Spanish, nobody born in Spain has another nationality in their identity document. The jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Spain determines that the concept of nation and nationality are not synonymous, declaring that the Constitution of Spain only admits one nation, which is the Spanish Nation. See for example this explanations and refs Talk:Juan_José_Ibarretxe.
 * Best. --BallenaBlanca &#128051; ♂ (Talk)  21:20, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Of course, I know since I'm Spanish, what I mean is that if there's a consensus to include both nationalities and there are arguments to support it as well as to refute the previous version, I think it should be included, but for the time being there isn't such case and there were even allegations of WP:CANVASS. --Jamez42 (talk) 21:25, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Activity in Jorge Oteiza
Hi, you have come to revert my edit, controversially so, since removal of nationality is a matter of contention. Still I do not know what your relation is with that article. It is a topic a I have worked on, but it looks as if you are following my steps, isn´t that right? Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 22:17, 27 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi. I am not; like you have shown in one of your edits, I currently have in my watchlist around 40 articles of Spanish biographies that were subject to POV pushing by a sockpuppet that also edit warred in the main topic I edit in, Venezuela. Federico Krutwig is among them, but Jorge Oteiza is not. Now, I personally don't disagree with including both terms, the sockpuppet actually deleted or replaced "Spanish" and I was the editor that added both words trying to balance the introduction, but many of the articles said "Spanish" originally and since BallenaBlanca provided arguments to back up the original version I commented about the articles on their talk page. I think your distinction between nationality and citizenship is important and I recently added this field in the infobox hoping that it helps to reach a consensus. In any case, it is a discussion I really would prefer not to get involved into and I only look for keeping a stable version. Cheers. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:33, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks Jamez42 for your reply. I will go through the edits. Not about you, but editing on national matters is always sensitive, especially if it is an article another editor has worked on. Someone is altering automatically definitions of articles, without nuance and with a lot of self-entitlement, and frankly it is raising red flags. Iñaki LL (talk) 22:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No worries, thank you for writing to me directly. I totally understand your concern, I'd only suggest to continue looking for a common ground. If you feel that the issue is going too far, I'd recommend to seek dispute resolution. Let me know if I can help with anything else. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:54, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

NPP Backlog Elimination Drive
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel: there are currently 2900 unreviewed articles, and 4000 unreviewed redirects.

Announcing the Backlog Elimination Drive! Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  06:57, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * As a final push, we have decided to run a backlog elimination drive from the 20th to the 30th of June.
 * Reviewers who review at least 50 articles or redirects will receive a Special Edition NPP Barnstar: NPPbarnstar SE.png. Those who review 100, 250, 500, or 1000 pages will also receive tiered awards: RR3217-0014 100 rubles USSR 1989 Gold avers.png, Swiss-Commemorative-Coin-1991-CHF-250-reverse.png, Coin of Kazakhstan 500Thinker averse.png, US-$1000-SC-1878-FR-346a-PROOF.jpg.
 * Please do not be hasty, take your time and fully review each page. It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing.

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Political advocacy by Jamez42 / Susmuffin.

 * Because of the unusual circumstances here, I'm not taking any action against you for the edit-warring at El Paraíso stampede. However, your reverts are not exempt under WP:3RRNO. The blanking referred to is "page blanking" and is a subset of obvious vandalism. The IP's edits were not vandalism. Take care.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:45, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * My apologies in that case, and thank you for the attention to the case! --Jamez42 (talk) 22:46, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries. I don't like to see long-standing users blocked because of frustration. At the article Talk page you referred to personal attacks against administrators. Did I miss that?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:49, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Just referring to the IP's claims, in one of their last comments the IP said "Better get one of your colleagues to close the 3RR discussion I'm about to open.", which seems to suggest they were accusing you of being a paid editor too. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:51, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Josneidy Castillo for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Josneidy Castillo is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Josneidy Castillo until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:31, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Marianella Salazar
Hi, I saw that you requested speedy deletion of this page with the reason "Space to allow a move", but as you had moved this page (and had that move reverted) already, speedy deletion isn't the best way to achieve this, so I declined your deletion request. If you still believe that the move should be made, then follow the instructions at WP:RM and explain why you believe the move should be made. The community can then add their thoughts to the proposed move and a consensus formed on whether the move should be made or not. Iffy★Chat -- 08:26, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Excellent, I'm used to the procedure in the Spanish Wikipedia, which is different. Thanks for letting me know! --Jamez42 (talk) 13:18, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing that the current spelling of the article is correct, I didn't notice when the revert was done, but there's a Venezuelan journalist named "Marianella Salazar", with two ls, that doesn't have an article in English yet, hence my confusion. Given the spelling, I'm not sure if the best course is to delete the redirect. --Jamez42 (talk) 14:01, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If you want to create a new article at the redirect, then just replace the redirect with the new article (see WP:RTOA). Once you do so, make sure that incoming links to the page point to the correct page. Iffy★Chat -- 14:16, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers. Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
 * June backlog drive


 * New technology, new rules
 * New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
 * Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
 * Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.


 * Editathons
 * Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.


 * Project news
 * The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.
 * As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.


 * There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See New pages patrol/Coordination for more info to see if you can help out.


 * Other
 * A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.


 * Moving to Draft and Page Mover
 * Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
 * If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
 * Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
 * The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
 * The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

 * Community Wishlist Proposal
 * There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
 * Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!


 * Project updates
 * ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
 * There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.


 * New scripts
 * User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js(info) — A new script created for quickly placing copyvio-revdel on a page.

Santa Teresa (rum) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Santa Teresa (rum), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello ,
 * Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
 * Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.


 * If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.


 * We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.


 * With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

 * I'm in the process of making templates, hopefully I can do that. Kingsif (talk) 15:41, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
 * Less good news, and an appeal for some help

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Hi. It looks like you copied some content from Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to United States of America v. Joaquín Guzmán Loera. When you copy from one Wikipedia article to another, you need to provide attribution. This is done by saying in your edit summary that the material was copied, and where you got it. Please have a look at for an example of how it is done. Please let me know if you have any questions, or have a look at WP:Copying within Wikipedia for more information. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:52, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
