Ajoy Chakraborty page

In the future, please specify which part of the edit you have an issue with. I had forgotten that I removed a web-archive link from the page. And even that removal (which I don't have much of an opinion on either way) doesn't seem like vandalism, because the link contributes nothing to the article. If you randomly revert edits with no clear reason, I may have to take it up with higher-ups in Wikipedia. 70.114.211.80 (talk) 22:27, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

If you remove something, you need to give a reason in the edit summary. My reversion and undo had clear edit summaries.   — Jeff G. ツ 22:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello Jeff G./Archives/2018, 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

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.

'Autobiography' issue

Hello, I received your message about what I have written. But be sure it's not an autobiography. I'm not writing about myself. I'm a woman writing about a Libyan male singer who I know some information about him. That's all and because I want to keep trying to learn how to write properly on Wikipedia.

@Emmakarima: I'm sorry I assumed. I have replaced the message.   — Jeff G. ツ 10:50, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
