New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello Argento Surfer, 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.

Back Issue! #82

Do you have access to the rest of this issue's feature on Crisis on Infinite Earths? I was only able to get a glimpse of the first page of it. JOE BRO 64 21:50, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

@TheJoebro64: - I do! I'll try to remember to scan it tomorrow. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:44, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the scans! I'll start expanding the article this week using them. (By the way, I also wanted to tell you that I was actually inspired to rewrite the article after seeing your work on The Infinity Gauntlet.) JOE BRO 64 00:32, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Sideways (comics)

Astronomical unit GA Process

Hello Argento,

I was expecting to correct all problems before commenting on the page. But I see this is not gonna work. I'm overworked with University work and I'm not having much time for Wikipedia. Since one month has passed since the nomination I see I'm already past the deadline.

So I'll tell you what we'll do. I'll correct the copyright errors mentioned and I'll comment in the GA nomination page. You'll will fail the nomination because my actions didn't meet the criteria, including the deadline. This is bad, but at least the people reading the Astronomical unit article talk page will learn and someone with more time/stamina than me will do a better job in a future nomination.

This is my first nomination, you know, and I learned a lot in the process. Thank you for your time. I'll work on the page, as I mentioned above.

See ya in a couple of hours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdob (talk • contribs) 09:51, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Done.

Of course I support you in the wikicup :) Good luck and best wishes Mdob (talk) 10:49, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

DYK for The Infinity Gauntlet

On 10 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Infinity Gauntlet, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the upcoming film Avengers: Infinity War draws inspiration from the 1991 comic book The Infinity Gauntlet? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Infinity Gauntlet. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, The Infinity Gauntlet), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:

Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Argento Surfer, 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.

Hey Argento Surfer; just a quick note to let you know that The Bill (Inside No. 9), which you reviewed at GAC, has been nominated at FAC. While there's certainly no pressure to take part, any comments you have would be very welcome. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:23, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Rogue & Gambit

On 5 June 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rogue & Gambit, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that though in a romantic relationship since the 1990s, the titular characters of the 2018 X-Men miniseries Rogue & Gambit had never previously headlined a comic book together? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rogue & Gambit. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rogue & Gambit), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Superman

I don't want to come off as a pest, but would you consider reviewing the edits I've made to the Superman article? I've made a bunch of them without community approval because the community ignored me.

Wikicup submission declined

Hi Argento Surfer. After some thought, I'm choosing to decline this submission of yours. While these is nothing wrong with the review, I think you will agree that there is only a single comment which isn't just ticking a box, and as such this doesn't meet the spirit of the length guideline, even if it meets the letter. If you disagree, please feel free to raise this on the Wikicup talk page. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 12:22, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Thanks!

Thanks for helping to tune up the Deadpool v. Gambit article. I'm hoping that we can start to move articles of characters or comics series in a more encyclopedic direction, as I've done there and at Unbelievable Gwenpool. Perhaps brainstorm some of our own notability criteria? In addition, I noticed that one of your goals is to get the Comics Code Authority to good article status. We should talk about that--I'm working on a thesis that deals heavily with it, and have a lot of data we could insert. Cheers, Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 15:11, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@Etzedek24: Funny, I was just about to send a message your way saying good work on creating it!

I've toyed with writing a subpage explaining my personal criteria for levels of notability (stand alone article, list entry, delete) before. Maybe I'll move that up on my to-do list.

I've been gathering info on the CCA for a while, but it's currently all written longhand in spiral notebooks. I'm planning to begin real work in my sandbox in the coming months. I'll ping you when I start - any help is welcome! Argento Surfer (talk) 15:16, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

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

Hello Argento Surfer, 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.

Collaboration idea and WikiBirthday wish

Let me first begin by saying HAPPY WIKIBIRTHDAY! It's been a pleasure to work with you on here, such as it is. I'm reaching out to you because I'm going to begin working on an article on Josette Frank, who worked for the Child Study Association and was instrumental in being a reasonable voice in the midst of the anti-comics crusade. I figured you might be interested, so I dropped you a line. Hope you have a good one! Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 23:10, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

@Etzedek24: Thanks! Those 7 years sure have flown by.

The name doesn't ring a bell, but I'd by happy to look into my sources. She definitely sounds like someone I'd be interested in knowing about. How quick are you hoping to get this in shape? Argento Surfer (talk) 12:27, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

@Argento Surfer: I'm not in a huge hurry, but I will probably get it moved to mainspace tonight at work. Ken Quattro has a truly excellent 5-part blog series about her which is complimented by archival sources and is honestly probably the most comprehensive writing done on her.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Goal Structuring Notation (August 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SamHolt6 was:

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Goal Structuring Notation and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Goal Structuring Notation, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:

Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
Other contestants who qualified for the final round were Nova Crystallis, Iazyges, SounderBruce, Kosack and Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

Shared control = cooperation?

Is it just me or does

... shared control of at least 70% ...

sound like the two companies were "in cooperation"?

While clumsy, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Milton_Griepp&diff=prev&oldid=855028910 prior construction] was a bit clearer in regards to competition. I'd love something that made it plain that "... the two competitors together controlled 70% ...", even if I can't think how to say it. Shenme (talk) 02:38, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

@Shenme: how's this? Argento Surfer (talk) 12:43, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Very nice. I wouldn't have thought of that. Shenme (talk) 16:27, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

		For all the thorough, high-quality work you do towards comic articles, and for your unsurpassed congeniality and spirit of teamwork, I'm happy to present you with the inaugural Comics Barnstar. Congrats! Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 00:02, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Another project idea -- sick of me yet?

Yo,

I know you eventually wanted to get the CCA article to GA status, and I'm going to start a page in my userspace to mark events in the anti-comics movement that will hopefully help me signpost my thesis a little better. Thought you would be interested in hearing about it. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 18:53, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I am interested! Have you ever read The Ten Cent Plague by David Hadju? It's a pretty thorough examination of the era from North's article through the implementation of the code. I found it to be a bit dry at times, but otherwise very informative. You might also find some useful stuff here - it has scans of lots of the old articles. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:09, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Said as if Hajdu's book isn't sitting next to me and I don't have LOSTSoti open in another tab ;) If you haven't, you should check out Seal of Approval by Amy Kiste Nyberg--I can send you a copy if you don't have access. Nyberg is on my committee! Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 19:42, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I read some of her book when it was excerpted in Alter Ego, and it's on my to-get list, but I'm currently on a self-imposed moratorium on buying new material until I get caught up on what I already have. I went on a buying binge earlier this year and have an intimidating stack to get through. Argento Surfer (talk) 20:02, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

@Etzedek24: - Is this something you want to eventually move to mainspace, or for personal reference? Do you want me to provide sources? Argento Surfer (talk) 13:19, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

I do want it in mainspace eventually. I have it in userspace as to avoid draft time deletion. Feel free to add anything you'd like. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 14:34, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

DYK QPQ

Hi Argento Surfer. About a month ago, you approved Edel-optics.de Arena at DYK here, saying it was good to go. At the time, the article looked like this. Did you check the article before passing the hook? The infobox hadn't been fully translated, and the text was machine-translation gobbledygook. I've just copyedited it now, as it is about to appear on the main page tomorrow, which would have been embarrassing. Fish+Karate 14:11, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I don't remember that one specifically, but I either overlooked it or failed to save a correction. Thanks for letting me know. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:21, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, The Accelerators (comics)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.
