WikiCup 2022 September newsletter
[edit]New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
[edit]Hello Abishe,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
- There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
- Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
- Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
- This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
[edit]Hello Abishe,
- Backlog
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
- 2022 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2022 Barnstar
[edit]
Dear Abishe :
- Thanks for participating Wikipedia Asian Month 2022. We are grateful of your dedication to Wikimedia movement and hope you join us next year!
- Wish you all the best!
New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
[edit]Hello Abishe,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord and #wikimedia-npp connect on IRC.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
WikiCup 2023 September newsletter
[edit]The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and 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 and within 24 hours of the end of the final. 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Wikipedia Asian Month 2023 Golden Barnstar
[edit]
Dear Abishe :
- Congratulations! Thank you so much for participating in the Wikipedia Asian Month 2023. We are very grateful for your dedication to the Wikimedia movement and effort in promoting Asian content. Hope to see you again this year and celebrate the 10th year of Wikipedia Asian Month together.
- Sincerely,
Nice work
[edit]I am deeply satisfied with your work (long articles). The only complaint I have not include YouTube videos from unofficial channels. DareshMohan (talk) 05:50, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@DareshMohan: Hello. Thank you for the appreciation and kind words. Basically I have the knack of writing really lengthy articles and that habit has eventually transpired into even at my workplace LOL with writing some essay type mails through Microsoft Outlook. I think you are referring to the YouTube links which I shared them as sources in Kavundampalayam and that is one area I really need to go back to the drawing board and stick to the basics of Wikipedia guidelines. Anyway glad to note that people admire my work although there are key areas for improvement. Abishe (talk) 14:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- Can you make articles for Thavasi (actor) [1] and Vengal Rao [2]? DareshMohan (talk) 00:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
@DareshMohan: Hey to be honest to create articles about these film actors, the mainstream media hasn't done anything special in terms of covering about their real life stories, struggles and what are the professional career achievements they have attained. For example I wrote article for comedian actress Rangammal but the sources repeatedly told facts about her in 2 or 3 lines and sentences. I only found more about her career through her exclusive interview available in YouTube which she gave sometime back where she tells about having acted alongside M. G. Ramachandran and the worst part is only after her death media reports about who she was and they never make much effort or research in capturing the important milestones in her career. The same problem lies with Vengal Rao as most of the sources only had detailed explanation about his health conditions being worsened but only talks less about his career like he worked as a stuntman for some popular actors and then he worked with Vadivelu over 30 films. There is no further information to speak of about him in first place. The media hasn't done enough to give attention to such individuals. The media only gives importance to high-profile actors and celebrities for viewership and target rating point to grab audience attention especially covering about those who are immensely popular. Abishe (talk) 07:24, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- I feel Thadi Balaji and Bayilvan Ranganathan both deserve articles. Both deleted several times -- do sources existed? DareshMohan (talk) 21:13, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
@DareshMohan: Ahh, I mean article on Thadi Balaji is currently not possible at the moment as the page is currently protected and it requires a special approval to proceed further [Require administrator access]. Actually I wrote this article way back in June 2018, but it was deleted due to an afd discussion in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thadi Balaji (2nd nomination). I tried to claim that the subject should be able to meet WP:GNG guidelines since he has done numerous roles in films and took part in the Bigg Boss contest in it's second season, but the suggestion was rejected as I only started editing Wikipedia around that corner so I realised I may not have sufficient claim to prove my credibility at that time. Hopefully fingers are crossed to create article about him in near future. Abishe (talk) 07:54, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Wanted to create an article on Chaplin Balu but found no reliable sources but now I found two! [3] [4]. DareshMohan (talk) 20:03, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- I wanted to create an article on RmKV but Draft:RmKV got deleted since it was a stub and I think it wasn't neutral (since the sources praised it I think). See User_talk:Kailash29792/Archive_48#Stores and User_talk:Kailash29792/Archive_49#Your submission at Articles for creation: RmKV (July 26). DareshMohan (talk) 03:31, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Wanted to create an article on Chaplin Balu but found no reliable sources but now I found two! [3] [4]. DareshMohan (talk) 20:03, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Can you help with Draft:Rahul Thatha? DareshMohan (talk) 02:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

| How are you able to create so many articles. Creating over 1000+ articles is a remarkable feat (very very small percentage does it). You are legendary! DareshMohan (talk) 07:45, 26 October 2024 (UTC) |
@DareshMohan: Thank you for the appreciation and acknowledging my efforts. I think you are also doing an amazing work in writing many articles. I am so passionate about gaining knowledge and sharing knowledge to others in whatever capacity I could contribute eventhough I may have flaws from my end. I try to learn everyday because life never stops teaching. I still have to do a lot of research and create more articles. Abishe (talk) 07:57, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- The highlight is that many people use Wikipedia, but not many edit it — and I feel embarrassed for admitting I edit here. Many admins I think don't mass create articles -- I don't think you are admins. Any creating anywhere over 1,000 or more is very rare. I have many regrets in my life, but ... one day we all will make it. I don't think I can leave Wikipedia for video games or anything else, cause it is ok to be different. 😎 I also feel welcome here. Not sure if all of them introverts are here cause them extroverts busy socializing. DareshMohan (talk) 08:18, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
@DareshMohan: Hi, I understand your thought process but you don't need to feel embarrassed to edit Wikipedia. You are doing a great job. Hopefully you will continue to do good work in Wikipedia and you have a great track record of 90,000+ edits in 3 years, you too have done a great job in terms of creating articles as you have created over 500 articles that's a great accomplishment and your edit count is a terrific record which speaks volume about your ability to showcase your talents and skillets by creating quality content. I feel those who are very much interested with Wikipedia and devote, allocate certain time slot to Wikipedia would value it as an integral part of their lives. I use Wikipedia as a stress relief and as a positive distraction from all the real life practical situations. I see it as a hobby and to positively impact myself to forget job stress and yeah obviously I am not much into socialising. I am also an introvert and with some extrovert characteristics, but I prefer to edit Wikipedia because I am so eager to write more and more articles. It's because of the thirst for general knowledge thing also it comes into my mind naturally. Every human is unique and make sure you do what you like because only you can decide the level of inner peace in you and only you understand your true passion. Don't compare yourself with others and be the person you are. We are all different and have different thinking patterns and belief systems. It is normal to worry about things and stuff which I do tend to think a lot. Socialising is sometimes difficult for me due to the need of meeting different kind of people who have different mindsets and most importantly it may not be easy to vibe with them as our taste could vary as well. Be true to yourself and do what is best for you. You are the CEO of your own life. Keep up your fine work. Abishe (talk) 09:45, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Choon Paan
[edit]That's a nice one! :) I've thought of writing that but never got around to doing it. Cheers! Chanaka L (talk) 00:35, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
@Chanakal: Choon Paan too was in my mind for a long time as I felt it could be apt to write about it for the Wikipedia:Wikipedia Asian Month/2024 competition, considering how Choon Paan is seen as sentimental element for majority of the Sri Lankans. Abishe (talk) 01:26, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Keshini Ann Suraweera moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to Keshini Ann Suraweera. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. ... discospinster talk 20:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
