New Years new page backlog drive
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:


 * The total number of reviews completed for the month.
 * The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits
Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the wait tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:07, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Kid Rock
I didn't make any major changes to the article. Please stop removing content (including sources and photos). TheRealBoognish (talk) 00:45, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No. TJH2018  talk  00:46, 30 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Now you're being childish. I cleaned up the article. I sourced content. You removed sourced content and sources and added unsourced content. Do you not see the problem? TheRealBoognish (talk) 00:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Now, I'm just going to refer you to the message that other user left you which sums up the issue. Also, you clearly are not interested in gaining consensus from anyone... TJH2018 talk  00:51, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You don't need consensus to add sources and make an article encyclopedic. TheRealBoognish (talk) 01:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * He's violated 3rr and made 5 reversions (maybe even more) in 24 hours and is clearly edit-warring even though he has been told to go to the talk page. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 00:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't. Reverting vandalism isn't a violation of 3RR. I initially took your edits in good faith but you are proving to have an agenda. TheRealBoognish (talk) 01:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * TonyBalloni gave the page Admin protection, so we should be good for a while... TJH2018 talk  01:01, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , except he didn't revert the changes by TheRealBoognish. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 01:02, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , I'm starting a 3RR noticeboard thread. -- Gokunks (Speak to me)


 * @TJH2018 I have been here several months. It's not like I just registered last week. And, no, I don't have any other accounts. Surely, if I had socks and were really "warring" the article, don't you think there would be more than one person reverting your edits?

Also, again, I did not make any controversial changes, I simply rewrote the existing content for quality, clarity, neutrality and professionality. TheRealBoognish (talk) 01:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Alleged "removal" of political activities from Kid Rock
I'd like to point out that I did not remove any of his reliably sourced political activities. The Warrior video and comments on Confederate flag, NFL, etc. was moved to his career section, the activities not related to his music career were moved to the personal life section. The Sean Penn video Americans was sourced only to YouTube, and thus not reliably sourced. If you wanted that back in, you should have found a reliable source instead of edit warring. I couldn't find a source outside of YouTube; civerage should be significant, otherwise it's trivia. TheRealBoognish (talk) 03:39, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

User:JackyAlcine
Putting a speedy deletion request on User:JackyAlcine 40 minutes after the page was created is awfully bitey. What exactly in that was advertising? Fabrictramp &#124;  talk to me  02:33, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The main reason I CSD'd it was the external link. Anytime an external link is placed on a userpage, it is usually for promotional purposes, as was the case with Mr. Alcine. TJH2018  talk  16:07, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

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

Backlog update: New Year Backlog Drive results:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
 * We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
 * We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
 * Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! ACTRIAL:
 * ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing
 * Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking  place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
 * While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News To opt-out of future mailings, go here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:06, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:
 * WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags
 * Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:
 * A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons
 * There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. 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.

Paid editing - new policy
 * Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English News Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 20:35, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
 * Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
 * The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.
