New Years new page backlog drive[edit]

Hello In ictu oculi, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

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

The backlog drive will begin on January 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.
The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

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

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

Brother Sister (film)[edit]

I'm confused by the redirect you created at Brother Sister (film). Why does it have 2 names listed in addition to the redirect target? Also, the film doesn't seem to be notable at all...would someone A. really be looking for it and B. be satisfied with the redirect to Helen Slayton-Hughes which makes no mention of the film in the article? only (talk) 15:38, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It sometimes is worth leaving a little redundant DNA is a redirect in case anyone wants to change the redirect later. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:48, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A personal plea[edit]

Please have a look at User:Andrewa/A personal plea and apply it to this edit. TIA

But I thoroughly endorse your comment this is lazy...! Andrewa (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right, rose to it, more fool me. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:40, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moves[edit]

I've raised this with you before. Why do you keep moving articles to disambiguated titles than leaving the original title as a redirect to that disambiguated title? What does that achieve? If you have a better target for the original title, fair enough, redirect it somewhere else, but please either do the whole thing or just leave them be. Cases in point just from today: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Please either do something sensible with these, and the others you've moved, or move them back. --Michig (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bedwetters is redirected to bedwetter. What to do with Déborah Rodríguez is more of a problem, a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to Déborah Rodríguez (athlete) makes most sense, but okay have removed (athlete). In ictu oculi (talk) 16:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

and now...[5]. --Michig (talk) 16:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, the category says vocal group but I have removed vocal. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:27, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

and here's some more: [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. I would suggest you stop doing any more page moves until you can get this right. --Michig (talk) 16:35, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Apology for this edit which I cannot explain (which is scary to me obviously). I can't see how best to fix it. (Please feel free to just remove this comment if you do). Andrewa (talk) 15:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay. Seriously though, there are four reasons for not locking ones edits immediately - one is allowing a pause for others to revert, the second is time for the what links here on templates to catch up, the third is WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, the fourth is toilet breaks.

So impressive[edit]

Hi In ictu oculi. I must say how staggeringly impressive is you User page. A stunning list. If you would permit me, I could fix 15 DAB page links for you - unless of course you have left them like that deliberately! Kind regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:01, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well I used to keep track of the articles I made. And keep track of changes. But as they've got more random I stopped. No, I don't deliberately link anything to a dab, it has never occurred to me to check the page for dab links. Surprising how many Polish composers have cyclists added now with the same name. :) Thank you. Done it. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects I created[edit]

You have previously said in December of last year that you would stop editing redirects I created. Less than a month later, it appears this no longer stands. I will get an administrator involved again if you cannot stop this. You said you would, so do it. Don't move this discussion to my talk page. If you want to reply, reply here. If you remove it, then I will take that as an acknowledgement that you have seen it and agree to stop. Ss112 21:05, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

S112, this is in no way personal, I have not been picking your redirects, I have simply been correcting misdirects in A-I order, I didn't stop to check who created the mislinks, they surely can't all be ones you made? Take an example I see you've put Courtship (song) pointing at Bjork when there are four songs listed at Courtship (disambiguation). With respect perhaps you should consider WP:OWN. If that doesn't apply to articles, then it certainly doesn't apply to misdirects pointing to the wrong article. But if you insist any misdirect you make must stay then I'll pause. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:10, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How is this a matter of WP:OWN when it was your idea to stop repointing my apparent "misdirects" to avoid conflicts? Ss112 21:12, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again I am not repointing your misdirects I've just corrected about a dozen misdirects in A-I order. In a couple of cases I noticed it was yours and left it. But surely the rest aren't all yours are they? (note that I haven't corrected Courtship (song) to point to the dab page). In ictu oculi (talk) 21:16, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say they were all "mine". I believe the only ones I did revert or take issue with were ones I created, aside from Hang on Me, which is not one I created but was still on my watchlist from when I moved it recently. Ss112 21:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at them, seems at least a third of them were in fact yours. I am very sorry but I assure you that there was no targetting involved, as I said I was simply following alphabetical order. Can I suggest something; perhaps if you feel this strongly that particular (song) should redirect to a particular artist or album, then maybe you should create an article on the song? But it's only a suggestion. I will try and check to avoid your redirects where possible. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:22, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have to go offline for a day now. All the best. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:23, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tony[edit]

Page-move question[edit]

You recently moved MilkandCookies →MilkandCookies (website) with no explanation, and you left the non-disambiguated pagename as a redirect with no actual content. Are you planning to write a primary-topic article or DAB page among multiple meanings? Your action appears to have reversed a previous pagemove that was based on some talkpage discussion (Talk:MilkandCookies (website)#Requested move). Could you please leave a note on the talkpage about your plans, and maybe wait for others to chime in before pressing to far ahead? DMacks (talk) 04:21, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deccan Park[edit]

Hi, I'm here to request a move. Correct me if I am wrong. The dab Deccan Park has only two entries and both are related to each other - Deccan Park (park) and Deccan Park (building). Per WP:SIMILAR, hatnote is more appropriate instead of dab, and Deccan Park (park) is a weird name it should be moved to Deccan Park. Thanks.

Response[edit]

I didn't say I "own" them. I have never said that. You're bringing that policy up as an excuse now to renege on the fact that you said you would leave redirects I created alone to avoid conflicts. You haven't done that. It doesn't matter what the reason is, and "it's a stopgap" doesn't make any sense. Request the move at WP:RM/TR or don't touch it. And perhaps you should start checking to avoid future messages like this or warnings from admins. Ss112 11:42, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One way or the other page history needs to be preserved when articles are blanked, as you want to do it yourself, that is fine by me, and I have left you a message at Talk:You Are the Reason (Calum Scott) suggesting that you use a G6 to fix the problem. All the best. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the main issue and you know it, so stop deflecting. Leave redirects I created alone and we wouldn't be in this position in the first place. Ss112 11:56, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you are not the only editor who does this. But you are the only one who gets sensitive if they are fixed. Can you at least make an effort that when you blank an article you preserve page history at a more appropriate location and fix resulting dab issues? There's no urgency to do this since it's fair enough to allow other editors some time - even a couple of months - to revert. But sooner or later if nothing happens then the page history should be preserved and the title treated with normal disambiguation you blanked the article 26 Nov, that is 2 months ago. Look I also leave things for a few weeks to allow editors to revert, but sooner or later they need clearing up. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? I'm actually confused. There was no article at that time at the namespace "You Are the Reason". I blanked the page for failing WP:NSONGS. I don't know what else you mean that I "needed" to do. It was fine where it was at the time. I couldn't move it to You Are the Reason (Calum Scott song) at the time, because that already existed, as you know. I think you're honestly trying to tell me to remember every single redirect I've created and go back and see if that's also the title of another song in the entirety of music history, so disambiguate it and create a dab page (which takes time to research and do). Nobody is forced to create a dab page for the other number of possibilities there is. I only do it when I think it's obvious. However, I try to be a bit more aware now to avoid you coming along thinking it's your duty to clean up or "housekeep" on Wikipedia/to avoid you moving the page, but that was November 2017. You hadn't made a big deal to me of saying I should do it then. Ss112 12:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well I'm sorry to be confusing. Just to stick to this example. clearly You Are the Reason (Calum Scott song) was non notable, it shouldn't have been created, you were right to blank and redirect to the bio. That cleans up 90% of the problem. What it doesn't do however is restore the original situation where a reader could put in "You Are the Reason" and end up with the search results leading them to Air Supply etc etc. Personally I'm of the view that having moved You Are the Reason page history out of the way to You Are the Reason (Calum Scott song) redirect, the remaining You Are the Reason would be better off deleted, using a CSD7, but there some admins who simply won't do that, which then forces creation of a dab page at the baseline. Does that make sense? In ictu oculi (talk) 12:21, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well as I just said in one of my edits to my above message, nobody should be forced to create a dab page for the amount of other possibilities there may be. It's nice and helpful if they do, but it's not required by WP policy. I had no reason to in November 2017 because I didn't know any user would have an issue with it then. That would not have even been on my mind. Ss112 12:24, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I'm not forcing you, some of them are not worth it. But I just can't help noticing that some of these generic titles are squatting over other songs - that Tremaine song was a another example. You (again) were right to blank and redirect it, but that still left a 1946 jazz standard that it was usurping. It's just one of those things - a certain number of non-notable articles (be they songs, anime, books, you name it) once deleted then need repointing to the other more historical items. A similar problem with those editors who when a new 2018 album comes out believe they need to redirect every song on their new album to their new article, even if half a dozen other artists have used the title before. I've seen you correct editors who do that, so on this we appear to agree. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:30, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus before massive reworking[edit]

My issue with the D.M.Z. album. You've already decided to create a redirect and point all instances of the former link to the latter before consensus has been reached on the move. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing broken links will need to be done either way. Sorry but the onus is on yourself to provide evidence that DMZ with dots never occurs except for this Christian album. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:05, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I saw that some pointed to D.M.Z. (album), while others correctly pointed to D.M.Z. I'm not sure why you decided to create a redirect to point back to the album and fix the bad linking (that you created) by pointing to your redirect. It's all poor editing. The fact that the album title has a built-in disambiguation is reason enough to not need another page with your preferred spelling. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:08, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One way or another, the hard-wiring inside article html would be better done correctly to avoid mislinks. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:10, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help finding entries for Chapter Ten[edit]

Hi IIO. Since you appear to be good at finding topics on such short notice, if you get time, can you help list things that may be known as either "Chapter Ten" or "Chapter 10" at Chapter Ten? It was originally a redirect to a Kendrick Lamar album but it seemed like too generic a title to remain that way. Thanks! Ss112 14:11, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking me, I found one more, but think you have already found what there is. Cheers In ictu oculi (talk) 15:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer Newsletter[edit]

Hello In ictu oculi, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

RMs[edit]

Good job on the video game series RMs. I think cleaning up the existing incomplete DABs will solve most of the problems. -- Netoholic @ 17:04, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it clears up 4 howlers, but it's still a classical example of a local consensus. You were right to fix the guideline, though it doesn't surprise me it was rejected. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:19, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The more we can take care of using the existing guideline before raising the question widely (WP:VPP), the better. If we can show that a majority of VG articles already use (video game series), it'll be an argument to make it more consistent. -- Netoholic @ 19:07, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Primary idea[edit]

Hello. If you want to follow-up on your idea of switching the two primary title criteria I think you have good reasoning to do so. Either a "bold" change or a talk-page discussion may end with that idea being adopted. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit wary of initiating a discussion on that. But I believe it makes sense to state the long term serious encyclopaedic view first and the page-counting view second. I will keep on eye on the next discussion there. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:07, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comico moved page.[edit]

Hi, I just wanted to say that I apologize for moving the Comico page (American publisher) without having a discussion about it before hand. I did not mean to cause any trouble. I thought that because that company is now defunct and the NHN's Comico is currently around and much bigger that it made sense to select that as the default Comico. I don't usually move pages without having a discussion first but I personally thought that it wasn't a big deal which is why I went ahead with the move by myself. I will delete the current move discussion on Comico (Korea) and start a move discussion on the U.S. version. Sorry for the mess and the confusion. I did not mean any malice from it.

Thank you very much for moving Baselga di Piné! Why didn't you do the same for Ruffré-Mendola? You disagreed to move Dolcé because "the correction should start on the it.wp": well, in it.wikipedia they've corrected the spelling of Ruffré-Mendola, exactly as for Baselga di Piné. Could you move also this page please? I hope that you didn't change your mind because of that article in a local newspaper... In others articles of the same newspaper you read "Ruffré-Mendola" ([15]) but they aren't sufficient as sources anyway. Rather, have a look at one of the main daily national newspapers in Italy, La Stampa: (you have to google the text between Qs: Qsite:lastampa.it "ruffrè mendola" -"ruffré mendola"Q AND Qsite:lastampa.it "ruffré mendola" -"ruffrè mendola"Q) over 655 results for Ruffré-Mendola versus...0 (yes, Z-E-R-O) for Ruffrè-Mendola (because if you open the only 2 results that you see you'll read in both pages "Ruffre'-Mendola" with apotrophe). And even Google Maps spells it "Ruffré"... Besides this, the noted overmentioned DOP and DiPI and, overall, the article in the Italian wiki which was already moved. I don't see which reason there may be not to move this page after moving Piné... 151.48.215.96 (talk) 19:39, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cadet colleges[edit]

found in UK and Bangladesh also, a move to Cadet colleges of Pakistan would be correct. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you still think this is desirable, I have no objection to a formal WP:RM. Just thought I would go ahead with the move to Cadet college for now. Keep in mind that we also have List of cadet colleges in Pakistan and List of cadet colleges in Bangladesh. So wouldn't it be curious if the main article was titled Cadet colleges in Pakistan?

Max Emanuel Cenčić[edit]

The version with only Max was a result of a misunderstanding ;) - I still think "Cencic" is what he now uses, and what you find in programs, bios and the press. Shouldn't we follow? Last word in the review: "Hingehen!" Go see! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:56, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Probably best to discuss on the page. What he uses in German press is really not the issue until he takes Austrian nationality. That's his decision not ours. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:57, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He uses it on his own personal website. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:00, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

English terms[edit]

I see that you've been valiantly trying to protect lots of British terms from being gobbled up and spit out as American-centric primaries. You deserve an honor of some kind, from the Crown if need be. In the meantime, would you mind if I made a bold move of Big Ben to Ben Cartwrght? (dibs on that for April Fools Day/Easter) Randy Kryn (talk) 15:46, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not so much English but Indian sir, as the main form of English by speakers, if it were just the little Brexit island t'wouldn't matter. But also more encyclopaedic usage to entertainment usage. Another foible. :) In ictu oculi (talk) 15:59, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True. Then an award by a Rajah as well. That's a good point though, from encyclopaedic to entertainment usage might do well as a point in favor of not moving something. I will do that Big Ben to Ben Cartwright RM on April 1, maybe I'll work up a good case with stats beforehand (it will make the point of recent RM's switching to American usage).

New Page Review Newsletter No.10[edit]

Hello In ictu oculi, 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.

Move of Transatlanticism[edit]

Quick question – what was the purpose of moving the page Transatlanticism (album) from Transatlanticism to its current location? Seems to me that the extra disambiguation isn't necessary. Conifer (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A 97-charting US Billboard album doesn't displace Transatlanticism (culture) or Transatlanticism (politics) from real world meaning. There are two or more schools of thought about what Wikipedia is however. By all means move the album after checking Google Books is you think justified. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:19, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it seems like the term is most commonly used when referencing the album – so I'm going to move the album back to Transatlanticism and add a hatnote. [[User:Conifer|<span style="color:forestgreen;font-

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018[edit]

Hello In ictu oculi, 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.

Season pass (winter sports) redirect[edit]

Hello again In ictu oculi,

I commented on this in the Season pass requested move, but do you think the redirect you made for winter sports is worthwhile? I'm skeptical, myself - seems to fall afoul of WP:RFD#DELETE "target article contains virtually no information on the subject." Season ticket doesn't currently talk about the likes of seasonal lift passes for a ski resort, and more generally, I don't think it ever will - it's just not a very interesting subject, with little written on it. Would you be willing to reconsider that redirect's creation and {{Db-author}} it? SnowFire (talk) 22:16, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The bytes you just used to say that no source exists were less than it took to locate an article on the subject and add the main point to the article. I'm just saying :) In ictu oculi (talk) 08:17, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wasfi Kani[edit]

Hello, and well done for starting the article on Wasfi Kani. I have for the time being removed your claim that she was married to Stephen Tumim as I think it is incorrect and I can see no evidence for it at the article you cite. I know WP is not itself an RS but the Tumim article doesn't help in this direction either; finally, his Guardian obit supports the idea that he remained married to Winifred, not Wasfi. Hope this helps, best wishes DBaK (talk) 10:08, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Modulations.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Modulations.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:05, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

Hello In ictu oculi, 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.

File:Excess Baggage (1933 film).jpg[edit]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:14, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Columbus[edit]

Is there any other opera named Columbus? If not, please revert the changes. If yes, please move to Columbus (Egk). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:49, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Columbus (Herzogenberg) an oratorio. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:37, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why change if there's no other opera. The other could be Columbus (oratorio), as long as only one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:06, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well there are other long scale works recorded, and there are other operas. When I created Columbus (Egk) I should have just had it as (Egk) not (opera), and now the Herzogenberg recording is coming out I think it's time to rectify that. Plus the Herzogenberg although an oratorio is technically labelled a choral cantata. So composer names work better. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:23, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, because most people will not know these composers, but rather know what to expect when reading opera or oratorio. Or we would have Siegfried (Wagner) as the article title but don't. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax warning[edit]

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at Tal Vez (Marta Sánchez song). If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Continued disruption will be met with blocks or other sanctions. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. Fram (talk) 11:22, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That was a good faith filling of a gap based on available information from Spanish wikipedia. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:24, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your replies at the AfD and actions to save the article do not indicate any "good faith filing" but a desire to keep incorrect information at all costs. When information is challenged, and you are not trying to protect a hoax, you don't oppose deletion based on "what Spanish-language 90's chart books did you consult?" when you have not consulted any yourself, nor on Wikipedia mirrors / self-published sites like Prezi, not on other languages versions of Wikipedia. You don't dismiss reliable evidence which directly contradicts your info (like the Billboard source, or discogs). Your actions show a very worrying attitude which is not compatible with editing Wikipedia. Fram (talk) 11:40, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I hope anyone looking at that AfD will see me responding to your initial post in good faith, and then fully retreating, capitulating, and saying God bless you again in good faith. Please have a nice day. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:45, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your definition of "good faith" is opposing the deletion and asking whether I have consulted sources which you, the creator of the article, obviously never consulted in the first place, and have not provided since? That's not good faith, that's attacking the person actually uncovering the incorrect information you added, adding in your "oppose" a Spanish line which supposedly supports your position ("Un segundo sencillo, "Tal Vez", fue provisto por Thomas Anders") but which seems to come literally out of nowhere, and to the article an unreliable source to do the same. What exactly in all this is a good faith response to my initial post? You didn't address the actual concerns at all, only posted a very defensive "oppose". When you oppose the deletion of unverifiable and apparently wrong contents, then it is no longer a mistake but the defense of your own hoax. Fram (talk) 11:55, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018[edit]

Hello In ictu oculi, 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).

I found a possible Kauffner sock[edit]

Hiya, In ictu oculi - I found a possible Kauffner sock. Could you check that I've not gotten it wrong? The suspected sock in question is: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Nine_Zulu_queens&offset=&limit=500&target=Nine+Zulu+queens - it raises my "sock-radar". They share very similar interests and the jokey username is a staple of Kauffner's socks. Plus, I don't know of any editor aside from Kauffner who has an interest in Christmas, Islam, Asia, and US style conservatism, and certainly not all four at the same time.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of ¿Dónde estás corazón? (tango)[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on ¿Dónde estás corazón? (tango) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article does not exist or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018[edit]

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

Hello In ictu oculi, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018^[update], 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

File:TKO (Tsakani Mhinga album).jpg[edit]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Nominations of The Morning (song) and The One (GOOD Music song) for being merged[edit]

These two songs both charted, therefore they meet WP:NSONG, so there is no need for you to nominate the articles for being merged. I know neither reached the Billboard Hot 100, but if a song reached the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart and/or Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, that shows notability too and do not write Bubbling Under Hot 100 positions as if the Hot 100 extends past 100 like you tried to because that is not correct formatting. --Kyle Peake (talk) 08:55, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018[edit]

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

Hello In ictu oculi,

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.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}18:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018[edit]

Hello In ictu oculi,

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.

Diacritics / Māori[edit]

A long time ago you and I briefly had some interactions involving diacritic marks for names with origins in languages other than English (e.g. here). I recently came across this discussion; I don't understand the NZ-specific context that serves the backdrop, but a lot of the arguments there sound familiar (and bad), and I thought you might be interested. --JBL (talk) 03:06, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas![edit]

BOZ (talk) is wishing you a Merry Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Don't eat yellow snow!

Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:Flaming/MC2008}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings". :) BOZ (talk) 15:36, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of J. Archibald Douglas[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on J. Archibald Douglas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The Dogs[edit]

You moved The Dogs to The Dogs (US hip-hop band) yesterday ([16]), but with no explanation why. I can understand that you may have seen this as not the primary topic for The Dogs (adding an edit summary always helps), but:

You left The Dogs as a redirect to The Dogs (US hip-hop band) - a redirect to The Dog or Dog (disambiguation) (which should really be merged together) would be more appropriate (presumably that's why you moved it?)
The entry at The Dog for this band needed updating
You left disambiguation hatnotes on The Dogs (US hip-hop band), which would be redundant once The Dogs redirects to the disambiguation page
Article links to The Dogs needed updating to point to The Dogs (US hip-hop band) instead (but not all of them as some relate to other bands)

I have (I think) dealt with all of these, but in future if you could add an explanation of page moves and tidy up afterwards it would be appreciated. Thanks. --Michig (talk) 20:59, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
