Nice job, I noticed the list was shrinking rapidly. From here on, I figure we just start on the to-do list and gradually improve articles whenever possible. HalifaxRage (talk) 18:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello ,

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
 * Source Guide Discussion

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
 * Redirects


 * Discussions and Resources
 * There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
 * A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
 * A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
 * A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.
 * Refresher

Museums
Thank you for your help with List of museums in Ottawa. I've begun to add references. Is using the museums website a good reference? Can you take a look at what I've done so far if you have a second? Thanks again! Gizapink (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe using a museum's site is a good reference for the purposes of the list. A purist might tell you that an independent 3rd party reference is better, but ya gotta start somewhere!  Regards,  PK  T (alk)  15:32, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * As for the work you've done so far, it's better to not use just a "bare URL" but to use the cite web template. In your editing window, at the top you'll see "> Cite" - if you click on that, another line will appear with "Templates v" and cite web is in the dropdown menu.  Please give the reference a title (the name of the museum is enough) and its URL, of course..... PK  T (alk)  15:37, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
User:Clovermoss submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * I nominate Editor PKT as this weeks Editor of the Week. They registered their account 13 years ago, and have made more than 185,000 edits since then. PKT is a self-described wikignome, and I've often come across them making small, but much-appreciated edits. PKT often edits articles about Canada and Canadians, and their breadth of contributions is vast and noteworthy. They often access the quality of new articles included as part of WikiProject Canada. They have also made extentsive contributions to articles about Canadian cities like Windsor, Ontario, Newmarket, Ontario, Markham, Ontario, Barrie, Aurora, Ontario, Georgetown, Ontario, Thornhill, Ontario, Whitby, Ontario, Owen Sound, Milton, Ontario, Cambridge, Ontario, etc. The list goes on and on and on. In addition to all of that, they've also made extensive contributions to sports coverage of Canada. In conclusion, I think that PKT is more than deserving of the Editor of the Week Award.

List of museums in Ontario

Demographics in electoral districts ("Most of")
Some of the electoral district articles contain some statement in the demographic section (or the lead if it doesn't have one) saying that it has the most of a certain demographic, then cites census data for that district but no proof that it actually has the most (Ex. 1,2,3). Are there any reliable sources that could prove any of these statements or should they be removed? Username6892 18:54, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello - in my experience, this is a bit of a good news, bad news answer. Good news: StatsCan census data is definitely a reliable source for Ethnic data for Federal ridings.  Bad news:  Statscan data doesn't seem to add up very easily....I find it best to put the data into a little spreadsheet and plug it to get it to balance before entering numerical data into Wikipedia articles.  If I were inclined to update the Ethnicity data for Markham--Thornhill, for example, I would get the data from here and massage it to come up with data to update the article with.


 * In short, Statscan data is definitely reliable to support statements that a certain demographic is prevalent in a Federal riding, but it's not as nice and clean-cut as I would like it to be. Cheers,  PK  T (alk)  19:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Also, in this article, the map appears to be incorrect. Do you know the source file for it? Username6892 00:09, 6 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Disclaimer: I'm not much of a maps or images guy - other editors know a lot more about this stuff than I do. Answer to your question: No, I don't.  You can get more info by clicking on the map you're interested in, then clicking on the blue "More details" button in the bottom right of the image.  That should get you to a page titled "File:(name of file)", and when you scan down you might find what you're asking about. BTW there are 3 maps in that article, but that's another story, I suppose :)   PK  T (alk)  00:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I had meant the one in the top right corner with the coordinates . Username6892 00:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Pat Day
Hello, on the Pat Day page under the riding section, 8th to last line, can you please correct "Day was the regular rider on Hall of Fame filly Safely Kept" to "Hall of Fame filly Lady's Secret"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6C3:4081:A10:1938:DE09:B339:8027 (talk) 23:14, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No. I would need a solid reference to do that, and the reference on the sentence doesn't appear to mention either filly. BTW, I'm not a horseracing guy.  PK  T (alk)  00:44, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Sir
Hello,

anything wrong? Were my sources wrong? I read dn(date needed) in the upper caste,so,I thought to clarify. Dinopce (talk) 13:33, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

https://books.google.co.in/books?id=num2I4NFGqIC&pg=PA33#v=onepage&q&f=false Following is from the above page:

"The Census of 1931 also listed Kayasthas as one of the upper castes." Dinopce (talk) 13:37, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello - whatever information you were trying to convey should be added to either the article you're referring to, or its talk page. Not on my talk page. My edits were merely general maintenance, intended to either fix issues such as ambiguous links, or to bring attention to issues in the article that I couldn't fix but should be fixed by others.  I am not interested in India's caste system.  Have a good day!   PK  T (alk)  13:44, 16 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Ok.Sir. No problem! Understood your point. I'm new here. So,I don't know too many things.

Belleville Ontario
PKT, I am truly sorry about this. I will undo anything that I can, and undo untrue data that I have written. I just changed it now and I will not touch it again until they release the new population if they ever do. I will verify that the new population is correct with you if they ever do new population in 2020. Again i'm truly sorry and I will come and verify with you if I ever do any edits again if you want me to. You have been doing it a lot longer then I have.

Thank you!

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello ,

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference. In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
 * Your help can make a difference
 * Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
 * Discussions and Resources
 * A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
 * Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
 * A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
 * Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

I'm not claiming to have any particularly deep knowledge about her beyond having heard some of her music on the radio, but she was already categorized in both and. Those categories were added by "Fishhead2100" three years ago, and I just don't have enough knowledge about her career to have questioned tha. If you dispute it, I have no objections, but I just wanted to clarify that the only reason I added her to the "women singers" category is that she was already in other singers categories.

Thanks for your contributions to women's ice hockey!
Thank you for your recent edits and your post at WT:HOCKEY regarding notability for women’s ice hockey leagues. I’d like to extend an invitation to join the WP:WHOCKEY task force, if interested. You appear to be an editor of some distinction and, while I have no expectation that you will join our small group, your experience would be immensely valuable. Regardless of your decision, please know that your contributions in the realm of women’s ice hockey are sincerely appreciated.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello ,



It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to and  who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to, , and who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
 * Year in review

has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
 * Reviewer of the Year

As a special recognition and thank you has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.
