Problems

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 16:11, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * This month's refresher course

Editing Fatpipe Networks Page with Unbiased, Non-Marketing Information
Hi There'sNoTime,

I am reaching out to see if I can make edits to the Fatpipe Networks page that was deleted and protected by you. I reviewed the deletion discussion and wanted to start writing the page in an objective, unbiased, non-marketing style. The company team in India made the page and didn't understand the rules of Wikipedia. The US team wants to take over and make a page that follows Wikipedia guidelines. Please let me know what I need to do to get the page unprotected so I can start editing it from scratch.

Thanks.

Some of the content that I wanted to include is:

Fatpipe is an American-based Computer Networking Hardware Company that invented SD-WAN and WAN Optimization technology. Fatpipe Networks invented a load balancing technology across disparate networks, a key aspect of modern SD-WAN systems. [1]. The US Patent Office recently held up Fatpipe's claim on developing this technology [2][3] in a lawsuit filed against Fatpipe by Talari Networks.
