Request for guidance on my draft article

Dear Devopam,

Thank you very much for reviewing my draft article on JAMA Cardiology. As I am new editor, I am hoping that you can help me understand some of your feedback.

You said:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

I agree with you. My article only relies on articles from the JAMA Network. There are numerous mentions of studies from JAMA Cardiology in other reliable sources such as the New York Times, but I could not find any reliable, external sources about JAMA Cardiology as a topic.

Nevertheless, I still believe that the topic warrants its own article. I didn’t see guidelines for notability specific to academic journals on Wikipedia:Notability, but eleven of the thirteen other JAMA Network journals do have their own pages, and I think the reason JAMA Cardiology and JAMA Network Open don't have pages is because they're new journals. JAMA Cardiology has an impact factor of 10.1, making it among the highest-impact cardiology journals.

Where should I look for other sources? In general, what should I do to improve the article? I saw you also mentioned that I expand the lead, so I am thinking of other information to put there.

Thanks,

Benjamin

Taylorzb (talk) 17:45, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello Benjamin / @Taylorzb: , It is actually a candidate for a good article , that helps people understand research journals. Unfortunately, while reviewing, the focus is on giving it a go or no-go at that point in time, instead of trying to edit and modify. Also, this is your article, so I encourage you to edit it, make it more interesting for a reader who doesn't have the insider view of AMA journals. Currently it is just a stub, which I believe is not doing justice to it. Add more sections, try to do a good research on the history , importance of the journal and then add it to the article. Devopam (talk) 07:52, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. I will! Taylorzb (talk) 16:49, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

@Ismailim: I did not delete, I opened a discussion for AfD with reasons stated here at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mabrur_Rashid_Bannah. Please feel free to improve the article, or contest the deletion stating your POV. I am not a proponent of outright deletion, and look for if curation is feasible.

Hi there, I just wanted to clarify the reason my draft was rejected. Sources provided were reputable news organizations. Would it be possible to tell me exactly which one is causing a problem? Also, how should I be sourcing "DOB, Early life and Personal life"? I have been using several other Wiki bio pages as precedent, which do not include sourcing for many of these items (ie: Jamie Gorelick, Andrew Tobias, Jason Rae). Would you mind giving me some guidance on what content I should remove to get this submission approved? William Derrough is the only member of the Democratic National Committee's "key people" who does not have a live Wikipedia page and I'd love to know how others succeeded in getting their posts approved.

Hey Devopam,

thanks for your advice on my first article at the help desk section. I edited the article for Uwe Marx and followed the guidelines for references and citation. Maybe you can take a look at my changes. I would really appreciate it.

Take care! Milan Reiter

@Milan Reiter: article is in a much better shape than earlier. Appreciate the due diligence. Could you please address the following:

• Please add some news coverage on the patents. I wasn't able to find it on a cursory look.
• See WP:ELNO. Remove all that can be , per guidelines, else retain.
• Few of the Media coverage articles should ideally be a strong reference indeed (e.g journal summaries)

Once done, please ping back, and I will be more than happy to be of help. Devopam (talk) 12:45, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi :@Devopam:,

- I added some sources for the patents - I deleted some of the external links to his webpages because that is apparently against the wiki guidelines - I talked to the user Maproom and he recommended that I should delete the media coverage unless I can cite them in the article, so I already did that before I saw your response. A few of them are listed in the reference section tho.Hope that is not a bad thing.

Thanks, Milan Reiter — Preceding unsigned comment added by Milan Reiter (talk • contribs) 16:01, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Submitted article Hertha Natzler

Hello Devopam, Thanks for reviewing my proposed article. I am a bit puzzled how to follow up on the reasons for your non-acceptance. Your feedback was that the "submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources". I think I have only used reliable sources and I have accounted for all of them in footnotes. The fact that they are not readily available online, but in hard copy in libraries, does not mean that the references are unreliable, in my view. You also mention "Please help with WP:ELNO and preferably an infobox with a picture." I changed the two online references. Hopefully they are as expected. And I added a picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mockridge13 (talk • contribs) 11:18, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello Devopam, I noticed that you rejected the draft of the entry for Anthony K. Tjan. The entry lists several notable sources, including press articles and television placements. I am curious to know if the entry was rejected because there were not ENOUGH sources, or because you don't consider these sources to be RELEVANT. Also, I would love if you could let me know what needs to be added/replaced/improved if I decide to resubmit the entry.

Thank you very much for your help. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Draft:Spyros Rigos

Good morning The reason given for declining my article was "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." The article I submitted contained at least 3 sources of reliable information as listed by wikipedia Magazines Journals Mainstream newspapers

Allow me to be more particular. 1. The Tokyo Shimbun is one, used in the submission, is of the oldest and most respected newspapers of Japan with a circulation in the millions.

2. "Mancode" magazine is a printed source with circulation n hte tens of thousands in Greece (it is part of the Kathimerini Group, the highest circulating Greek broadsheet newspaper I can forward a pdf but here goes the online reference https://mancode.gr/about-men/spyros-rigos-filosofia-tou-judo-dynamoni-pnevma/

3. "Ta Nea" was another newspaper with a wide audience

4. "Athletes was a very reliable sports magazine of some years ago.

5. Athlitiko Panorama was a magazine/journal with a very high circulation

Furthermore 1. Judoinside is again a respected online source of judo info

In light oof there references and wikipedia policy, I find it impossible to see how magazines and newspapers with a circulation of tens of thousands do not constitute reliable sources

Dear reviewer Devopam, thank you for your help and clarification. I have looked at several pages of computer scientists. There are heterogeneous styles, either very concise or very structured. I would like to prepare a simple page containing a descriptive text with inline citations to appear in a single section of references. I have understood that reliable sources have to support the information given and must be verifiable. According to these criteria I revised the content of the page. May I ask you please to review it and give me a feedback before I re-submit it? I attach it in the following, in case you have time to take a look. The text is in the form in which it should appear, while in the list of References, for each source the corresponding url is added. If you don’t have time, please don’t hesitate to decline, and I totally understand. Your comments and suggestions are welcome, best regards Robfour

Valeria De Antonellis is full professor of computer science and engineering at University of Brescia, Italy, where she leads the research group on "Databases, Information systems and Web" [1] at the Department of Information Engineering. At University of Brescia she has covered several institutional positions and, as Rector's Delegate for ICT (2010-2016), has successfully led a radical and complex process of renewing the ICT infrastructure and information systems at the University - aimed at improving the treatment of information, communication with users and the provision of online services. Since 2008, she is member of the Governing Council of CINI (National Interuniversity Consortium for Informatics), the main point of reference for the national academic research activities in the fields of Computer Science and Information Technology in nowadays in Italy. [2]

She has done extensive research on database design and conceptual modeling, schema matching and semantic integration. Currently she is active on semantic web, service discovery and web application design. Within the area of database design, she is best known for her groundbreaking research, beginning in the 1980s with her work in the development of the comprehensive DATAID methodology, covering the whole process of database analysis, conceptual design, logical design and implementation. DATAID has become part of the "History of Conceptual Modeling".[3] In the methodology, she advocated conceptual modeling of both data and processes in database design, anticipating issues of the object-oriented methodologies, and her work is mentioned in a citation analysis of papers authored by the conceptual modeling community.[4] In the area of schema matching and semantic integration research, she proposed a novel affinity-based unification method for global view construction and the associated ARTEMIS tool environment.[5] [6] ARTEMIS was chosen by the Microsoft Database Group as a reference prototype for experimentation and development of automatic schema matching tools.[7] In recent research, she extended the ARTEMIS affinity-based matching techniques to propose an ontology-based hybrid approach where different kinds of matchmaking strategies are combined together to provide an adaptive, flexible and efficient service discovery environment.[8] [9] Valeria De Antonellis is author of over 200 scientific publications in conference proceedings, journals and books [10] [11] [12], among which a book providing a comprehensive introduction to relational database theory.[13]

article submission

Hi Devopam, Thank you for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to review my article. Unfortunately it was rejected so I wanted to clarify how I may move forward on getting my article through. Your comment was: "Could you please help with the references. I could not dig into any of the ones, including the books and get a validation, unfortunately." Is there any advice you could give me regarding how I might make the references easier to dig into? I realize some are difficult to dig up. I have hard copies which I could show you. I pestered quite a few journalists to them so I can understand how it might be hard to find them online. However, I believe the books should be very easy to find especially since "Japanland: A Year in Search of Wa" already has it's own Wikipedia entry.

Draft: The Giants Club

Hi Devopam,

I'm a conservationist and great fan of the work done by the anti-elephant poaching company "Space for Giants" and so decided to write up a Wikipedia page for their "Giants Club". You recently reviewed this page and declined it, stating that:

"A lot many claims are not supported by reliable sources (see WP:SECONDARY). This article has very good potential. Please develop further and it will be a good read." I was wondering if you could state which claims in particular needed more reliable sources?

When you ask for more reliable sources, does this mean I need to quote the same ones more often next to statements, to back the statements up, or I actually need to find more references? I have used 18 sources so far but am struggling to find more, I am worried I will run out of references as there simply is not that much coverage of the company on media because they are still quite small.

Good morning dear Devopam, thank you for your edit, I just sent a new submission, after adding a various number of international books that i searched for, that in my opinion can help proving the notability of Giovanni's work.

Re: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Igorevich_Gurevich

Dear Devopam,

You once kindly reviewed my contribution on High voltage interface relays, so I'd like to ask you for advice, as I'm not as experienced in Wikipedia, as you are. I translated the originally English Wiki article about my former professor Vladimir Igorevich Gurevich into Russian. Almost right after the article appeared in Russian Wiki, one of my professor's long-time scientific opponents started spamming his page with demeaning language and references. He makes his edits anonymously as 185.72.227.2 My question is how to block this user as a spammer in Wiki.

With kind regards, Vvkrivtsov (talk) 20:52, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello Devopam, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• 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!

Technology update:

• 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: T175225

General project update:

• 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Param Vir Chakra, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Devopam, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• 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!

Outreach and Invitations:

• 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: {{subst:NPR invite}}. 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:

• 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.

The backlog drive will begin on January 1^st and run until January 29^th. 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.

New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello Devopam, 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

• 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.

Nomination of Soldierathon for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Soldierathon is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soldierathon until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 04:16, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

hi Winged Blades of Godric (talk · contribs), thank you for providing the expected attention to articles that I edited significantly.

If this was my Wikipedia, I would have unilaterally deleted the article.That both you and me have to depend on the consensus of the community for either action, (given that it's at AfD), nullifies your ad-hominem attack.Also, please read the entirety of the policies, before you cite them.Also, see this policy.Best,~ Winged Blades^Godric 14:20, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for keeping Wikipedia thriving in India

I wanted to drop in to express my gratitude for your participation in this important contest to increase articles in Indian languages. It’s been a joyful experience for me to see so many of you join this initiative. I’m writing to make it clear why it’s so important for us to succeed.

Almost one out of every five people on the planet lives in India. But there is a huge gap in coverage of Wikipedia articles in important languages across India.

This contest is a chance to show how serious we are about expanding access to knowledge across India, and the world. If we succeed at this, it will open doors for us to ensure that Wikipedia in India stays strong for years to come. I’m grateful for what you’re doing, and urge you to continue translating and writing missing articles.

Your efforts can change the future of Wikipedia in India.

You can find a list of articles to work on that are missing from Wikipedia right here:

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Devopam, 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

• 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.

News

• 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.

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. ()

Hello Devopam, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules

• New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
• Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
• Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.

Editathons

• Editathons will continue through August. 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.

The Signpost

• The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Hello there!

Thanks for the approval, but it doesn’t clearly seem to pass WP:NMUSIC or WP:NBAND

So, I don’t think it should become a Wikipedia page, it’s probably better if we leave it here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jennie_(singer)

Or unless you have another suggestion, you may revert the redirect and probably fix some sentences/find realiable sources.

Dąbrowski Manor in Michałowice

Dąbrowski Manor in Michałowice

Reviewer said to find sources, like news, books, newspapers; The references are precisely from those sources - baffling.

There's an article on the Polish Wikipedia about the Dąbrowski Manor in Michałowice:

https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zesp%C3%B3%C5%82_dworski_w_Micha%C5%82owicach

It's been on the Polish Wikipedia since 2013.

This reference does not qualify as significant coverage? This is a book. You wrote FIND SOURCES ( news · newspapers · books)

This is a book:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170829202613/http://dworyipalace.com.pl/dwory-i-palace-michalowice.html

This reference does not qualify as significant coverge? This is from a scholar.

https://archive.is/WdIqk

Here's the bibliography:

https://dnidziedzictwa.pl/dwor-dabrowskich-w-michalowicach#bibliografia

Here's a Google search result:

from the Małopolska Institute of Culture. That's not considered significant?

https://dnidziedzictwa.pl/dwor-dabrowskich-w-michalowicach/

The mansion is on a list of historical monuments.

http://mik.krakow.pl/2013/12/09/zabytki-malopolskich-dni-dziedzictwa-kulturowego-2014-dwor-w-michalowicach/

http://www.bezmapy.pl/przewodniki/palac-w-michalowicach-zabytki-w-okolicy-krakowa/

http://www.polskiezabytki.pl/m/obiekt/2941/Michalowice_/

This is a newspaper, one of the sources you say to find:

http://www.dziennikpolski24.pl/artykul/3265842,michalowicka-posiadlosc,id,t.html

Here's another source talking about the mansion:

https://web.archive.org/web/20180813054316/https://www.michalowice.malopolska.pl/spzm/publikacje/nr25_26.pdf

How much is considered "significant", if none of these sources are? Are you coming to the conclusion because the sources are not in English, they are not significant? Why are the sources on the mansion's article on the Polish Wikipedia significant, but on the English Wikipedia they are not?

The English version has more detailed sources and references than the Polish Wikipedia article on the subject, the Polish Wikipedia article having been there since 2013:

@Exxess: , peace. I only did an AfC review ! phew... Please try to address why this topic should make an interesting article/read. I re-scanned the article and it is not in a good shape . So many references (and yes, non-english holds equally good as well, to clarify) and yet a stub merely defining a building and its chronology. Take some time to curate it into a good/ interesting read that will help others know about this building, it's significance and heritage, in an encyclopaedic manner more on the lines of the Polish one.

I am confused now. You moved it back to Draft, when it was published already in Article space by me. Nonetheless, happy editing Devopam (talk) 12:08, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Developer Goutam/sandbox

Hello, Devopam. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Sam Sailor 23:40, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi @Sam Sailor:, seems this was one of the AfC edits that I moved back to user space. But it's deleted so I guess we don't need any action on it per se from my end. Devopam (talk) 04:46, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018

Hello Devopam, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Project news

• The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.

As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.

• There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks for more info to see if you can help out.

Other

• A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.

Moving to Draft and Page Mover

• Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
• If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
• Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
• The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js^(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
• The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing

Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget. In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions. MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues. User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page) User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js(info): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50). User:Primefac/revdel.js(info): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you. User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js(info): Creates a "Page Curation" link to Special:NewPagesFeed up near your sandbox link. User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion. User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Devopam, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal

• There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
• Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

Project updates

• ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
• There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

New scripts

• User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js^(info) — A new script created for quickly placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Devopam,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW

• Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018

Hello Devopam,

Reviewer of the Year

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.

Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760 reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001 reviews), Semmendinger (8,440 reviews), PRehse (8,092 reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306 reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016 reviews), and Elmidae (3,615 reviews).
Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven months, while Boleyn, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top 100 reviewers.

Less good news, and an appeal for some help

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.

Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.

Training video

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

California Consumer Privacy Act

In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:38, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Devopam,

News

• The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

• Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
• {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
• A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
• There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

• NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

• Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
• copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
• The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello Devopam,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

• Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
• Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

News

• Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Discussions of interest

• A request for bot approval for a bot to patrol two kinds of redirects
• There has been a lot discussion about Notability of Academics
• What, if anything, would a SNG for Softball look like

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello Devopam,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello Devopam,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion

• Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
• Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Not English

• 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, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

New Page Review newsletter November 2019

Hello Devopam,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.

Getting the queue to 0

There are now 804 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.

Coordinator

Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.

This month's refresher course

Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.

Tools

• It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
• It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.

Reviewer Feedback

Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.

Second set of eyes

• Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
• Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.

Arbitration Committee

The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

Community Wish list

There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Reviewer of the Year

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. 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.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG 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.

Redirect autopatrol

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 DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

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.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia: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.

Happy Holidays

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Devopam,

Source Guide Discussion

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.

Redirects

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.

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.

Refresher

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.

Nomination of Mabrur Rashid Bannah for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mabrur Rashid Bannah is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mabrur Rashid Bannah (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Worldbruce (talk) 06:10, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

NOPV in 2020 Delhi riots

Hi Devopam, I'm not sure but I believe that the article "2020 Delhi riots" violates some WP:NOPV. Based on my limited experience, we are doing a discussion in Talk:2020_Delhi_riots#NOPV_of_the_article. If possible please provide your views on this or else, please guide me if I'm wrong in this context.--Methu1 (talk) 21:40, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Devopam,

Your help can make a difference

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.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

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.

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.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Devopam,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Proposed deletion of File:Exilant Technologies logo.png

The file File:Exilant Technologies logo.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Uploaded for Exilant Technologies. No other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 12:23, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
