Disambiguation link notification for June 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Catholic Church and homosexuality, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russell Shaw ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Catholic_Church_and_homosexuality check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Catholic_Church_and_homosexuality?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Potential BLP violation
Is this a BLP violation? I'm more hesitant to remove or edit another editor's comment on a talk page than in an article, but it seems to be a clear unsourced violation that should be removed without discussion. You are a more experienced editor, and so I was hoping for your advice. Thank you. Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 20:16, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019


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.

Have you read the article? (Tip: disable JS as lots of popup ads). It is about monitoring and protesting: see the first photo if busy. (Granted, ironic as Metzger had been doing much worse before.)

If not doxing, then UNDUE and BLP apply. Your thoughts? Zezen (talk) 15:18, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Re https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/904186757 - IMDB is not an RS, see the table of allowed sources. Neither could the film itself.

-》 Please rerevert or find a solid RS. Zezen (talk) 15:08, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Of course the film itself can be a reliable source. Documentary films meet all the standards required of a reliable source. You're welcome to raise that question on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard for broader consensus; if there's consensus that it's inappropriate, I'll of course defer to that.
