Returning the favour, discussion here: Talk:Overwatch_League about the individual seasons. Doesn't look too good and I've basically given up at this point, so apologies in advance for any work you lost due to using my template; hopefully you'll at least be more inclined to try and salvage some of it towards your main article.

RE:You've gone a bit overboard with these hidden comments. Removing a few, at Mustafa Ali (wrestler)
Hi, Same edit-warring still happening and additions of which is not mentioned in Article Body as Prefall said(talking about Indian Descent, Indian and Pakistani Descent or India). This article had been subjected to be having Incorrect Infos, being confusing and unclear for the readers, I don't wanted this article to be deleted as I said it is confusing, unclear or being having incorrect edits. After getting your reply, I'll do next step to handle that issue. Thanks. CK (talk) 17:47, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Birth place and education - Peter Strzok
Peter Strzok may have been born in Iran, where his father was posted from 1966 to 1979. He was educated at the American School of Tehran up to 1978. Then he went to the American School of Saudia Arabia. (Source: BigLeaguePolitics, July 18, 2018) He is said to have graduated from St. John’s Preparatory School in Minneapolis in 1987, but the school will not confirm or deny this fact. (No birth records exist in the Minnesota Index for him) He also attended Georgetown University, where he obtained a B.A. degree in 1991 and a Master’s degree in 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:B840:D5C0:6082:625F:BBBE:8942 (talk) 01:45, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

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.

 * The Signpost
 * The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Editing semi-protected

 * I'm sorry to tell this to you, but that's not how it works. You can't "ban" people from your talk page. It is open. Always. To anyone. Edit semi-protected is to request edits to semi-protected pages, not for whatever you were trying to use it for. I suggest that you start constructively editing the articlespace instead of policing your talk page to prove that you are WP:HERE to contribute, as you can be blocked if an admin believes that you are WP:NOTHERE to properly contribute to the encyclopedia. If you have any further questions, add them below or ask the hosts at the WP:Teahouse.  JTP (talk • contribs) 04:09, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

It was an additional detail to the messy GFW situation and it was well sourced, so it should stay.

 * B. Don't insult me. It's not going to help you but it can sure as hell hurt you.
 * C. Questionable edits? Those threads are other users WP:Civilly discussing topics to which they may agree or disagree. Your page is full of warnings, so I'd recommend that you do not speak about "questionable edits".
 * D. To WP:Sign your posts, simply put four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your post.

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.

Short description issue
Hey, thanks for making me aware of the short description issue. Could you please tell me where you see this issue, as I'm trying to reproduce it.

Request on 02:57:14, 18 October 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Mary Henrietta Graham
Hello and thank you for your feedback. Your comment mentioned our acknowledgments section. If we removed that would substantial changes still be necessary? In response to a previous reviewer we significantly pulled back our editorial content in an effort to read impartially. If there are still sections that seem to express opinions, please let us know. We removed all primary research and have only drawn from published secondary sources.

Thank you.

Mary Henrietta Graham (talk) 02:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello, . By your use of the word "we," I assume that you are affiliated with the subject of your article? If so, please follow the instructions at WP:DCOI before continuing. If by "we" you mean multiple people are using your account, then this is in violation of the account sharing policy and you are subject to a block. Regarding your draft, the issue is not your sourcing–it is definitely one of the best jobs I've seen in a draft–the issue is the way in which it is written. It reads more like an essay than an entry in an encylopedia. As Bkissin said back in May, you may want to look at the article on Rosenwald Schools to get a better feel for how to structure/restylize your draft. Once that it complete, and it will take time for do, submit it for review. Feel free to reply back here when that happens, and I would be glad to accept it if I feel like everything is in order.  JTP (talk • contribs) 21:12, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi NotTheFakeJTP,

Thanks so much for your feedback. I have resubmitted the article with substantial changes. I used the Rosenwald Schools as an example to fix my language and substantially shorten the article to only include essential information for an impartial encyclopedia entry.

"We" refers to a professor that I worked with to gather information for this project. Neither of us have any formal affiliations with the Detroit Study Club. I am the only one with access to my account and that can edit the article.

Hopefully this new version meets expectations. I look forward to receiving feedback.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mary Henrietta Graham (talk • contribs) 23:49, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.
 * Backlog


 * 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.

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018
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.

Speedy Deletion of Robert L. Tillman School of Business
NotTheFakeJTP you mentioned that the subject page appears to be copied from elsewhere. The content was moved from the parent page University of Mount Olive. The content is original to the University and is cited. Please remove the speedy deletion tag as expeditiously as possible.

Cc09091986 (talk) 01:44, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Regardless of whether or not it was copied from another page (where it should have been removed from in the first place), Wikipedia licenses its content under CC BY-SA (see WP:CV). Cited or uncited, it was copied from a site that does not freely license their text, and will be deleted. I will not be removing the speedy tag. If you are affiliated with the university, please follow the directions at WP:COI and, if applicable, WP:PAID.  JTP (talk • contribs) 01:50, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Regardless of whether or not it was copied from another page, and whether or not you feel it should be deleted, the text you are stating is "likely" copyright infringement is generic an is not an original work. The text reflected are statements of facts, which are not considered to be copyright infringement. I removed what may perhaps be considered the only text that is "unique" in the cited source, which was the text referencing "the prescribed...". Please remove the speedy deletion... Cc09091986 (talk) 02:00, 30 November 2018 (UTC) Cc09091986 (talk) 19:01, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * If you only reworded the text, this would not be continuing as long as it has. The only reason it is a copyright infringement is because it is copied word for word. Only a WP:REVDEL would be required if you just reworded it. No speedy deletion. I suggest that you get on top of it before it is deleted, as this is an unusually long waiting period.  JTP (talk • contribs) 19:38, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * how does it not qualify for fair use? The language used is factual, generic, and unoriginal. Factual statements provided by the University are generally a benefit to the public good, which it why they are out there. You really have an overly pedantic interpretation of WP:CV. Cc09091986 (talk) 20:52, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It's too late now; it's been revdel'd. Thanks for completely ignoring my suggestions. Let's do it again sometime.  JTP (talk • contribs) 04:53, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * @, had you been more judicious in your review and looked at my contribution history to the parent article, you might have considered that a more effective approach would be to collaborate with a person who is actively making improvements on Wikipedia. The talk page with a redirect would have been sufficient, which I am sure you know. I do, in fact, take issue with your approach, especially your snobbish tone, because Wikipedia is an open community, and you could have made the changes yourself rather than flag the article for speedy delete. In the future, your 'suggestions' might not fall on deaf ears if you use a tool less blunt than an iron fist. By the way, my wife and I decided to not donate to Wikipedia this year because of you. I certainly don't like people throwing my time away when I am volunteering it.
 * Don't pin this on me. I take time to review new articles, and my time is just as precious as yours. I was "snobbish," in your words, because you disregarded any suggestions I made and kept using the same rationale over and over again. I could have fixed it, yes, but Wikipedia is not my first priority. I am a volunteer, just like you. I was in a car accident this week and had to deal with that for a long time. I apologize if I was blunt to you because of that, but you could have done it yourself. I do not think that one person in a community of over 35,000,000 should dictate whether or not you donate, but to each their own. Please don't reply anymore; this is simply an argument for its own sake by this point. Happy editing.  JTP (talk • contribs) 00:27, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello ,

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
 * Reviewer of the Year
 * Thanks are also extended for their work to (15,059 reviews),  (12,760reviews),  (9,001reviews),  (8,440reviews),  (8,092reviews),   (5,306reviews),  (4,153 reviews),  (4,016reviews),  and  (3,615reviews)., , , and  have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only sevenmonths, while , with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top100 reviewers.

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.
