New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Irish in Britain Representation Group draft page
Please reinstate the full draft, all the material quoted or drawn on for the page comes from the IBRG archives 1981 to 2000  which have been posted publicly   previously  on the Lipstick Socialist   blog, run by  IBRG member  Bernadette Hyland, who created the IBRG wiikpedia draft. We are not contraveing copyright, all the material belongs to IBRG. We have no idea who the Anarchist Federation are, mentioned in the reason for deletion... they ,nothing to with IBRG but they have reposted  posts  that appeared first on the Lipstick Socialist posted by  Bernadeette Hyland and written by IBRG member Patrick Reynolds  So if anyone has contravened copyright it is this organisation. .

Re: File:Norman Lowell campaigning in 2019 MEP election.png
Why was my dispute in the talk page of this file regarding it totally ignored and the image deleted anyway without addressing my dispute?

Mtonna257 (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)


 * The deleting admin was User:Explicit so they would need to give you the official answer. But my likely accurate guess is that they did not ignore your dispute rationale.  It's simply that it failed to convincingly address the reason for deletion.  WP:NFC is pretty clear on this with  -- Whpq (talk) 15:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Mama Lion
I'm working on adding sources to the article right now. Someone just nominated the article for speedy deletion once again, though. Could you please remove their speedy deletion tag for the second time?--LadybugStardust (talk) 03:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

deletion of Copy notation
You deleted my article Copy notation as invented but I didn't invent it, and it is in the Approximations section in User:JrandWP/Twenty-twos — Preceding unsigned comment added by Numspan33 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * It is completely unsourced, and from what I could see, likely would remain that way. But, I've restored it to Draft:Copy notation so you can work on it. -- Whpq (talk) 21:00, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Image seems PD
It seems i improperly uploaded File:Official Portrait of Emperor Haile Selassie I.jpg on The English Wiki, it should and now i have uploaded it on Commons, since according to the "Copyright Act 1956" Any work before June 1956 is in the Public Domain whether Government Works of Private Works, for the Painting dating to 1954, this is because it appears Edward Copnall painted it while Selassie received his Order of the Garter which was in 1954. So this work does appear overwhelmingly to be a 2 Dimensional Photography of an Artwork dated to the early 50s which makes it Public Domain. You could delete it from the English Wiki since again it its supposed to be on Commons CtasACT (talk) 21:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

CSD U5
Hi Whpq, I saw you declined a couple of CSD tags I placed under U5 for example here. This draft is not suitable for mainspace, hasn't been edited in 13 years, and is from a contributor who has made not a single other contribution. This kind of misuse of userspace as a de facto webhost is routinely deleted under U5 so I'm quite surprised by your decision. AusLondonder (talk) 07:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)


 * These are drafts in user space. Creating a draft is certainly something that would qualify as writings closely related to Wikipedia's goals.  These are drafts for things that quite plausibly could be articles as opposed to a biography of my pet dog Rexie-poo.  As such they do not meet the criteria for U5 irrespective of the age of the draft or the amount of other contributions made by the editor.  That is not to say that these should not be deleted, but that would need to be through WP:MFD.  If these are the being deleted U5, and the community agrees that these should be speedily deleted, then this needs to be reflected in the U5 criteria, or a new CSD created. -- Whpq (talk) 13:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I disagree with your interpretation of U5 and you are the only admin to reject speedy deletions under this criteria for users who have made few or no other edits. AusLondonder (talk) 16:52, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

File:Bangladesh Football Federation.svg
Hi Whpq. Would you mind taking a look at this edit? You removed the file from Bangladesh national football team per Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2022 December 14 started by. For what it's worth, the same user who added the rationale for this file's use in the national team article has done similar things for files that were removed per FFD or NFCR discussion. Their account is only a day old, so they could just not be aware of why the files were removed. At the same time, their account is only a day old, but they could have just created it specifically to readd files to team articles and avoid using perhaps their primary account. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:51, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Acapulco Chair- backwards copy?
Sorry to bother you, but, as the deleting admin, would you mind taking a look at Acapulco Chair and double checking whether it was a copyvio or an unattributed translation from the Silla Acapulco article that was later backwards copied and machine-translated to that webpage? (the esWiki article appears to pre-date the website by a few months). I'm really only asking because I'm wondering if I should request a CCI into the article's creator, and I want to see if I should list this example as a unattributed translation or a straight-forward copyvio. Thank you for looking into this. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 06:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I see you've checked. Thanks for looking into it! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 00:29, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for spotting this. I've undeleted the article and added the appropriate attribution.  A CCI request is justified only if there is a evidence that there is a problem.  Usually, this would be five instances of copyright violations.  -- Whpq (talk) 00:29, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, I've definitely found over 5 instances of copyvios, plus a few unattributed translations, plus some dodgy commons files, plus copyright warnings on here and eswiki going back as 2018. I ended up opening a request yesterday, which I hope was the appropriate thing to do. I'm not entirely familiar with CCI (the only other request I've been involved in is one Diannaa filed for me, but I don't think I can expect her to do everything for me lol) Thanks again for looking into the chair article. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 09:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Distribution of wealth
I understand the removal of the copyvio-revdel template (I had not dug deeply enough into the websites copyright section to recognize the CC-BY statement), but this additon of the "CC text attribution notice" was probably unnecessary as the copied text had already been removed as irrelevant to the article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I tend to err on the side of caution figuring if it was worthy of rev-del as a copyvio then an an attribution should be added if it is missing. As for the licensing, academic papers seem to hide their licensing in a myriad of ways.  sticking in the CC license in the paper itself would be the logical thing to do and sometimes that happens.  And then sometimes it is in a separate license link on the web page like here.  And I'm pretty sure I've seen an instance of the license statement being a general one for the journal with no mention in the paper or the specific web page.  -- Whpq (talk) 15:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

You deleted Danny Lauter
Hi, you deleted the Danny Lauter as a former AfD page, but the page is back after being recreated and then moved from Danny lauter, as well as Draft:DannyLauter. The WP:GAMENAME is obvious, but I want to confirm the page is the similar enough to the one deleted by the AfD discussion and completely correct as a candidate of the CSD before I take any further action. I would note that the author has been removing the CSD tags. If it's different enough, would you mind letting me know and I'll hold off?

Do you remember User:GrahamBould?
Hello ,

You may be interested in this post at WP:AN, and this related discussion at WP:CCI, involving edits by User:GrahamBould. A lot of their problematic edits from 2006-2009 have been dealt with back then, by you and other volunteers at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gastropods/Subpage for organizing CopyVio Cleanup, but some that were missed have now resurfaced. One article had most of its revision history deleted yesterday (1251 revisions spanning 18 years), and there are about 1700 articles that may be affected. As one of the few editors who are still active out of those who were involved in the original cleanup operation, maybe you can remember what happened back then, and have ideas how to best proceed. Thank you! Renerpho (talk) 06:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
