I think it's MOS that we don't keep repeating links, but I'm not bothered enough to make an issue of it. I'm astonished that Rothschild misspelt his own surname, but if you are sure of that, so be it, cheers Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:16, 27 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Incidentally, do we have a ref for the signatories? I was going to check the spelling but I'm not sure of the source Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:20, 27 November 2020 (UTC)


 * MoS was changed a while back to allow moderate repeating of links (MOS:REPEATLINK); typo was mine (now fixed); citation is in the article ("Observers of Birds". The Times. 1 July 1933.) Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:38, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

I wanted to give you a heads up that the implausible age issue you cited on Template talk:Infobox person/Wikidata appears to be fixed. You said the issue appeared on Colin Campbell Garbett, and I'll leave it up to you if that means that it's ready to use the Wikidata infobox template. -Thunderforge (talk) 02:23, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

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.
 * NPP Technical Achievement Award

Beer
Hmmm, it just seemed to me that this isn't particularly notable info. Take any other random industry -the garment industry -should every business and their product lines need a mention? Even more extreme - where they are located and of what the garments are composed? Most of these business have only a handful of employees and will likely cease existing within a decade, their product lines have an even lower life expectancy -some of these craft beers will only exist a season.

Look, I was looking at articles for deletion earlier and some people were saying the fourth most important uranium mine in the world by volume was not notable enough for inclusion... How come tiny local beer start-ups are worshipped so? Seems silly.

Also, you say "restore sources" -I never removed those? Leo Breman (talk) 00:46, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Question re. sandbox
Hello. I've looked for an answer to this question elsewhere without success, so I hope you don't mind this entry. I just created a new page titled Other Afternoons. When I moved the page from my sandbox to the main space, it brought along the history of other pages that I had previously worked on in the sandbox back in November (specifically Spiritual Unity and Live in Paris (1975) (Lost ORTF Recordings)). In other words, the history for Other Afternoons (which I started working on today) contains info regarding edits to other pages.

Is there any way to correct this problem? Can you please tell me how I can avoid repeating this mistake? Many thanks, best wishes, and apologies for the screw-up! Helen Puffer Thwait (talk) 15:26, 12 December 2020 (UTC)


 * In future, copy the code (if using the code editor) from your sandbox to a brand new page.
 * To fix this instance, you'll need to ask an admin to undo the page move, delete the new page, and then you can act as I suggest above. Note that this can only be done if no-one else has made a substantial edit to the page in the interim. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:43, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
