New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Technology update: General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
 * Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: 
 * On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
 * Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

<section begin="technews-2017-W39"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * Wikitext syntax highlighting is a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. This beta feature is based on CodeMirror. You can now search through the entire article with +  or  +  when you edit. Before it just searched through a part of the article. The developers are also fixing a couple of other bugs.
 * Administrators on wikis that use Structured Discussions as a beta feature or by default can now create and move Structured Discussions boards. Structured Discussions was previously called Flow.

Changes later this week
 * You now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device or IP address that have logged in to your account before you will be notified after five failed attempts. For security reasons you will soon get an email by default when someone tries to log in to your account and when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address. This can be turned off in your preferences.
 * Users with extremely old browsers (for example Netscape 2–4, released from 1995–1997) which do not support Unicode will no longer be able to edit. They should try to install a new browser.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 September. It will be on all wikis from 28 September. (calendar).

Meetings Future changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 27 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.


 * The Wikimedia Foundation Readers department has proposed changing the mobile website. You can read more on mediawiki.org. This would be a big change.
 * You can't use OCG to create PDFs after 1 October. This is because of technical problems. You can still create PDFs. Tech News 2017/37 said the function to create PDFs from books would still work. It is now clear it will not work for the next few months. The developers are working on fixing this. You can read more on mediawiki.org.

Recent changes
 * The number of active users listed by  and on Special:Statistics will now only include Wikidata edits as activity on Wikidata and not on other wikis too.
 * Previously you could create wiki links starting with two colons. Now you need to use one colon. :File:X.jpg now has to be File:X.jpg . There is now a new Linter category. You can see a list on Special:Linterrors/multi-colon-escape. The Linter extension helps you find technical errors in articles. You can read more about using Linter.

Problems
 * You will not be able to edit or upload files to Commons for around 30 minutes on 11 October. This will start at 06:00 UTC. This is because of work to let Commons show 3D models.

Changes later this week

Tech News: 2017-42
<section begin="technews-2017-W42"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * When you edit a template with the visual editor it follows the template's  configuration on how to save it. You can now change the format in more powerful ways if your wiki wants it.
 * The TwoColConflict extension is a new way to solve edit conflicts. It makes it easier to copy and paste the relevant text to the text field. It has been a beta feature for the last five months. You can now try out the new interface on a page where you will actually get simulated edit conflicts. You can give feedback to the developers.

Problems
 * There is a problem with recent changes pages and your watchlist that show a large number of pages. Until it is fixed, Wikidata edits will not be shown on recent changes or in your watchlist on Commons or Russian Wikipedia. If necessary, Wikidata edits will be removed from all wikis.
 * Notifications are not working for some actions. For example some users don't get a notification when they are mentioned. The developers are working on fixing this.
 * Users on some wikis could not change their preferences. This has now been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia from 17 October. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP can't connect securely to the wikis. When we allow them to do so it means that we get less security for everyone else. If you use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP you can install Firefox 52 ESR instead. Around 0.1% of the traffic to the Wikimedia wikis comes from Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP.

Jurors for WikiScienceCompetition 2017
Hi, I don't if you missed all the messages I left here and on commons and wikiveristy about this event.

I am checking with Ivo Kruusamägi from Wikimedia Estonia the composition of the final jury. We did our best to keep it balanced by continent, gender, field etc but in the end it is still a little bit eurocentric.

I hope that the results will promote science around the globe in any case. As a last appropriate effort now that more urgent issues have been addressed and we are finalizing the main organization, I am looking all the profiles of active wikimedians from or related to Africa, South American Oceania or Asia but not to countries with national juries, with a public name and surname (jurors should be public figures) and a scientific or technological education or position, the key aspect is to make a wikidata item of the jurors, so I need some ID that show they are or were related to the academia. There are good chance for example that this is you. We want to give the idea to the young researcher that we their images will be evaluated by people who were or are in the academia like them, with different backgrounds.

Would you be interested in joining us to be a juror in the second-level jury? I am sure that next time we will find new additional contacts and I will find your name not at the last minute.

Even you don't have time, could you help us also in promoting the event amongst people you know or mailing lists or groups you have joined? This will be also useful to promote more national juries next time.

Thank you in advance.--Alexmar983 (talk) 03:26, 19 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Alexmar983 I'm http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1809-1062, I have a Phd in computer science / digital libraries from Waikato University, spent time working at Oxford and now work in an academic library. I'm happy to spend a little time judging things related to computer science or libraries. Ping me with instructions. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * We will have the instructions once we start, the strategy we adopt will depend on the final number of jurors. If we get few mores we will create different subjuries for continents groups for example. We are thinking about it know (and the event has not started yet).
 * In any case, there is no category for "computer science". These are the categories. It is more like balanced sensitivity of different fields and countries. But no worries if you don't join... in the meantime I got someone from New Zealand in the main jury and a mathematician, so I did my best to fill the box. At this point, it is more about how you feel. If you like the idea of looking at hundreds of pictures of different fields and say yes/no to send them to next jury, jump in. Otherwise if you think it is boring, don't worry.
 * I can give you the link when the start date is officially decleared, and you can spread the news. That's also a good thing.
 * Thank you for the quick reply in any case.
 * Ops, I put a wrong SCOPUS link! in any case since I saw all the IDs I used the one I could access from PRC and created d:Q42306660. Take it as a thank you for the reply... plus I am trying to explore the world of resesrchers' items on wikidata too.--Alexmar983 (talk) 08:59, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

<section begin="technews-2017-W43"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes Changes later this week
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can use  when you create an abuse filter. This can be used to look for multiple words or phrases within a string. It will find words where some characters have been replaced. You can read more in the documentation.
 * When you search in some languages the search function could use specific other languages if the first language didn't work. This is called a fallback language. This didn't work properly and created bad searches. The search index is being fixed to work better.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 October. It will be on all wikis from 26 October (calendar).

Meetings

About Anne Veronica Goldson - moved to Annie Goldson?
Hi Stuart, It would appear that Dr Goldson is much better known as Annie Goldson - see her NZ On Screen bio here. I have gone ahead and moved the page. Your thoughts about this? Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:49, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
 * User:Shirt58, I'm fine with that. I'm thinking about nuking the subjects' contribution, however, since this isn't a CV. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:24, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

 * The irony of a professor who teaches journalism not immediately recognising the difference between a primary and tertiary source is not lost. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:06, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The very real problems faced by a real, living person who has a WP:BLP article here and has to navigate the labyrinth of WP:PG ain't just ironic, it's positively Kafka-esque.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:57, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 December. It will be on all wikis from 7 December (calendar).
 * Very old versions of the Opera Web browser are no longer supported. This means that technical development will not be tested to make sure it works with those Opera versions. Use Opera 15 or above or another browser if you have problems.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Almost 170 wikis with no high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. A few larger wikis such as German and Italian Wikipedia will also make this switch. It will happen on 5 December. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 December at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Brigid Hughes
Thanks for the question. Interesting. The top job at the Paris Review, normally, is Editor. The founder, George Plimpton was the Editor. Hughes is the only one who's had the top job referred to as Executive Editor. Here's how they refer to the past editors on their Masthead page:

Past Editors George Plimpton (1953–2003), Brigid Hughes (Executive Editor, 2004–2005), Philip Gourevitch (2005–2010), Lorin Stein (2010-2017).

According to the pieces in the New York Times, she started as an intern, was hired as an editor (doesn't specify what level, but probably associate editor), then was named Managing Editor. When Plimpton died, she was named "interim editor," meaning top editor pro tem, like Plimpton but only temporarily, ie, while they looked for a successor. The board wound up giving her the job, naming her "executive editor." For clarity sake I agree that using "executive editor" will make it clearer. All the clips refer to her position before she became the exec as "interim editor." I'll figure something out and reword it shortly.

Thanks for the query.

Tech News: 2017-50
<section begin="technews-2017-W50"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this:  instead of  . This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work.
 * A new tag marks edits where a redirect was created or removed. This still works when the editor writes something else in the edit summary. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist.
 * If you use Chrome on Android, you can now use the print to PDF button to create a PDF of an article.
 * Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "" link is now more prominent.
 * Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 December. It will be on all wikis from 14 December (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 December at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * You can discuss new or improved blocking tools with the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team. They will work on building better blocking tools. Leave comments on the talk page.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Outreach and Invitations:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
 * Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
 * If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: . Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive
 * A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
 * Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. —  TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC) 
 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
 * The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

Michael Adrian Peters
Grunf (talk) 14:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)Hi Stuart. I'm an academic from Croatia and I use the page Michael Adrian Peters with my students. Usually they just use the Croatian version, but now I've got a few foreign students as well, and I was surprised when they told me the page was down. I first waited a bit, but when the page did not return, decided to ask. So I looked up the webpage, and found out that you put it down for what seems to be a good reason. Now I'm only vaguely familiar with Wikipedia and its editing policies (sorry if my question is posted in a wrong manner or place), but I do think that you might want to reconsider the decision to put the page down, or perhaps to leave it in a different, more appropriate format for Wikipedia, and retain the important parts of the text. Can you please advise what should be done in order to provide at least some info on Peters in English Wikipedia? My students primarily need the list of publications and basic biographical information, really just encyclopedic stuff, which was nicely done in the previous version. I do know the subject in person, but I also use his work professionally, and the Wikipedia page is really helpful for my students. Thanks a lot for your reply, and once again excuse me for any ignorance about your work.


 * Hi I suggest you read Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard where the concensus is that he may not be notable and the whole page might be deleted: in short we need secondary sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:00, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Female NZ Professors - AUT
Hi there, I admire your commitment to creating pages for female professors in NZ. How's the progress going? I would like to draw your attention to the fact that you've missed AUT. See the list at. Tayste (edits) 20:54, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks User:Tayste. It came out of event funded by the RSNZ and run by USer:Giantflightlessbirds that I helped out on; I had no idea there were this many female profs, and once I knew I was too stubborn to admit defeat. There are several classes of female profs I've missed (including quite a few deceased, retired and emeritus; and I've still not found any at Wānanga). In reality I'll probably not catch them all, but in terms of WP:Systemic bias, I'm not sure absolute completeness is required, just doing a fair whack. I see you've added the AUT ones to my list; I'll get to them eventually, Alison McIntosh was already done and I have Tania Ka'ai currently under construction.  Stuartyeates (talk) 08:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yay. I'll try to help some more when time permits, tho I might focus on institutions I'm not affiliated with first, i.e. outside Auckland. Feel free to ping me on the talk pages of specific ones you'd like help with. Tayste (edits) 10:18, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm much more laissez-faire about COI than I used to be. These days I declare a bunch of COIs and am happy to back off if anyone takes exception; this lets me edit whatever I want :). Stuartyeates (talk) 19:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Help request for synonym labeling
We are building a model to be able to do article section alignment across Wikipedia languages. I'm wondering if you can help us with a labeling task that will define the ground truth for a synonym detection algorithm. (Please be aware that clicking on the next two links will take you to a Google spreadsheet) The task and the instructions, in case you'd like to look into it. Also, if you have recommendations on who else can help us for English or some of the other languages, please suggest names in the Usernames sheet. I'd appreciate if you let me know if this is something you can help us with. Thanks either way! :) --LZia (WMF) (talk) 19:34, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi User:LZia (WMF) I've done a handfull and will do a bunch more later in the day. The link to the task took me to a spreadsheet sheet that I couldn't edit, which was initially confusing... Stuartyeates (talk) 20:09, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Stuartyeates. I locked en-r1 and gave you access with your gmail account. I think it wouldn't work if you were not logged in with that account. I see that you're on en-r2 now. No problem. I'll lock it once you finish. We want to make sure we don't mix signals from those who help labeling at the label collection level. --LZia (WMF) (talk) 20:30, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The issue appear to be that i was logged on to a different gmail account when I clicked on the link from wikipedia and this messed up the permissions. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:53, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Jennifer Windsor
Hi Stuart - Jennifer Windsor has requested the article about her be deleted. You may wish to take a look as I note that you wrote most of it. I think, on the basis of a fairly superficial examination of Google data, that it should be retained as she appears to be notable in my view. NealeFamily (talk) 05:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Is Judy Margaret Parr notable?
Hello, While reviewing new articles, I came across your article on Judy Margaret Parr. As the article stands, it is not clear how she meets the Notability standards for academics (at WP:NACADEMIC). I have not tagged the article yet: I thought I would check with you first. Just being a professor is not enough. Please indicate how she has had a significant influence on her field, and/or what prestigious awards or honours she has received, or how else she is notable (in Wikipedia's special meaning of that word).--Gronk Oz (talk) 13:02, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I think she's notable. If you don't, you're welcome to take the article to AFD. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:22, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Bugger, I was hoping the answer would be that there's more material you haven't got around to incorporating yet. I really hate deleting good articles.  There are plenty of rubbish ones that really need deleting.  Never mind, I think I will leave it to somebody else to take this one to AfD if they choose...  --Gronk Oz (talk) 01:46, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * before I posted my response, I did add more material :). Full disclosure: I have another at AfD right now Articles for deletion/Jennifer Windsor if you're interested in casting a !vote. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:39, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Note
I removed your comment here. In your paper that you cited there, you wrote things like "A number of people have criticised Beall for racism" and "Taken together the last three issues would be seem to be easy to characterise as racism, xenophobia or colonialism, depending upon the lens one uses.", each of which is quite different from the declarative statement you made at WT:MED. BLP applies everywhere in WP. It is not ~exactly~ a BLP violation but close enough to make my hair stand up. Please feel free to repost more...carefully. Jytdog (talk) 22:11, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Help request for synonym labeling
Hello Stuartyeates!

I quick follow up on the synonym labeling project. Will you have time to complete it soon? It is important for us to have the whole list made by a unique person. If you don't have time to finish it, that not a big deal. Just tell me so I can find someone to work on that list. :)

Speedy deletion nomination of Benjamin Sutherland


A tag has been placed on Benjamin Sutherland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Bbb23 (talk) 23:28, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Sentence case
Stuartyeates, WP uses sentence case for headings as per MOS:HEADINGS. After creating nearly 2,500 articles that shouldn't be news to you. I suspect, though, that you are working from a template and that it contains the heading "Selected Works". Could you please adjust that template to use "Selected works"? Similarly for "Private Life". Much appreciated.  Schwede 66  01:54, 1 June 2018 (UTC)


 * The other thing that's missing from your template is DEFAULTSORT! Lastly, you place the stub tag in the wrong spot; it belongs into the very last line and there are supposed to be two empty lines between the last category entry and the stub tag. Could you please confirm that you'll fix your template for new articles?  Schwede 66  02:49, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
