New Page Review newsletter December 2019


This year's Reviewer of the Year is. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
 * Reviewer of the Year

Special commendation again goes to who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to and  who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by.
 * Redirect autopatrol

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
 * Source Guide Discussion

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag. Delivered by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) at 16:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * This month's refresher course

Happy New Year!


IVORK, Have a great 2020 and thanks for your continued contributions to Wikipedia.

Guideline and policy news
 * A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
 * A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
 * Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.

Arbitration
 * The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
 * Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee:, , , , , , , , , ,.

Draft page of World of Tanks
Hi IVORK.

Earlier, I wrote to you that I would like to update the World of Tanks page. I prepared a draft. It contains a huge number of edits compared to the current page. Could you take a look at it and give your verdict regarding its publication?

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

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.

Did you really come from semi-retirement just to take down a page? If you can't use Billboard, Youtube, or any other press source to back up an artist (as they do on THOUSANDS of other wikipedia pages) then what can you use?

Hiya Ivork,

well understand general bias to certain kinds of entries, a bit like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Medical_Women%27s_Association https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Women%27s_International_Association but these sorts of entries tends to be ... stubby(?)

Also, 'Previous decline issues ['seem to'?] still exist' but not for lack of genuine edits :(

About the Xbox Two redirect
I feel like The Xbox Two should redirect to the Xbox 360 due to it being the Second Installment in the Xbox Series not counting the new additions to the Xbox like Xbox 360S, Xbox One X and S, and Xbox 360 Core. So I should say you should re-redirect Xbox Two to 360, Xbox Three to Xbox One, and Xbox Four/Xbox Five to the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

 * Much Appreciated, But I think that redirect still wouldn't make sense due to many YouTube videos and Google searches calling the Xbox Series X the Xbox Two, so the Xbox Series S would be the Xbox 1.5, I don't know which choice is better Vice Versa --StaleGuy22 (talk) 00:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Hi IVORK

Thank you so much for your question and interest;-)

I wanted to change my status from 'red' to 'blue' which, someone told me, you can do simply by creating a User Page, which I have now done.

I am a newbie, so hope this is the right msg and right place for it!

Thanks again David

 * Hi there, yes I am. And as you may have seen, it has been resolved already. Was trying a to host the script within a tmux pane, but Kubernetes apparently doesn't like that.

Invitation to re-join WP:cleanup
Hey there! At some point, you signed up at WP:cleanup/Members, and at some later point you were moved to the "Inactive members" section because you hadn't been active on Wikipedia for 6 months or more. I see you've been active recently, so I thought I'd make you aware of this. Feel free to move yourself back to "Active members", maybe freshen up your signature... Perhaps we'll see you around on the main project page, where you can always be of help. Kind regards from  PJvanMill ) talk ( 12:37, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Reagen Revord
I think you may have misjudged the article request for Reagan Revord, you decided she is not notable. Meanwhile, at the encyclopedia made by qualified editors (which seems to have been the source for much of the proposed article) there is a page. Its also seems to contain lots of references, in reliable sources, discussing the subject at length. Since these sources are also listed on the draft article, I do not think your decision is correct, and the reasons stated on the draft page appear invalid. Could you please review this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Raegan_Revord Bertcocaine (talk) 01:45, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I have re-read over the content of the article and am still satisfied with the decision I made 6 months ago. While I do think it highly likely that she will qualify as she furthers her career as an actor and gains significant awards/more notable and covered roles, policies such as WP:NACTOR/WP:TOOSOON/WP:CRYSTALBALL have relevance here as to why I'm still not convinced enough to publish the article. — <b style="font-family:Ariel; color:red">IVORK</b> <b style="font-family:Ariel; color:Green; font-size:x-small">Talk</b> 23:46, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi there, while the sources are credible, this singular event is not enough to establish notability for a person to have their own article per WP:ONEEVENT and WP:NBIO — <b style="font-family:Ariel; color:red">IVORK</b> <b style="font-family:Ariel; color:Green; font-size:x-small">Talk</b> 02:23, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

 * Hi, please notify the user after declining their redirect request and asking for a source (see here). Thanks! &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  06:20, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see the need to further expand reasoning on the basis of editors perhaps missing/not realising there is a show button, even if the original thought came from a sysop. I'm doing the same process as I have for years, if it's that big of an issue, the AFC/R script would have been edited. — <b style="font-family:Ariel; color:red">IVORK</b> <b style="font-family:Ariel; color:Green; font-size:x-small">Talk</b> 06:27, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Adding Aim Assist under Controversy
Hey IVORK, may I ask why you reverted my comments on Dr Disrespect page about aim assist controversy? I think it has enough source depth and cultural relevance to be included. It is also a large portion of the Doc's persona and feels wrong to overlook. I have opened it up for discussion on the talk page and wanted to get your take on it.

Regional Jazz scenes
A while ago, I sent a request to move Cape jazz, Marabi, and Latin jazz (along with Afro-Cuban jazz) to the Regional scenes section of the Jazz template, but so far, that hasn't been done. Could you do it? 47.36.25.163 (talk) 20:47, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
