CU Block.

You have reviewed this draft Draft:HAZRAT LASSA KHAN FIDA SAHAB (R.A) and marked not adequately supported by reliable sources What is wrong with these references, I don't think i have added any unreliable cite for reference, can you please explain ? Thank You Kashmirian-21th (talk) 11:28, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kashmirian-21th Blogs are not usually considered reliable sources and The Times of India is probably even less so. Maliner (talk) 11:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

You mean times of india is not reliable Source Kashmirian-21th (talk) 11:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes it's reliability is disputed. Maliner (talk) 11:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Also you should disclose your WP:Conflict of interest with this Sufi saint too. Maliner (talk) 11:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kashmirian-21th. May I know your connection with Lassa Khan Fida? Maliner (talk) 11:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I have no connection with Lassa Khan Fida as personally or any other terms of relatives, But yes he is best writer and he contributes to Sufi, so for this he should be on Wikipedia so that intrested users can know about him so on .......

I have personally Readed his contributions on islam... Kashmirian-21th (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

See WP:N. Maliner (talk) 11:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok, What I should do for this Saint's Draft, Ignore it or it is reliable for article. Kashmirian-21th (talk) 11:53, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kashmirian-21th: Try to find some scholarly material, such as peer-reviewed research papers or books by established subject-matter experts discussing your subject in detail, and cite it. Per my WP:before, I am not getting anything. Sorry. Maliner (talk) 12:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Maliner,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Question from Absuk2 (13:19, 3 April 2024)

Hi. I am an artist, can I write an article about myself? --Absuk2 (talk) 13:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Luca.fasani (15:51, 3 April 2024)

Hi there, I am new as an editor on Wikipedia.

I am trying to create a new informative page for the Executive Director of my company. Is that possible or goes against the principles of the Wiki community? I edited in the article in the sandbox and sent out for review. I am still able to edit the article or do I just need to wait?

Thanks for your help. Luca --Luca.fasani (talk) 15:51, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi Luca.fasani, you should read this page about conflict of interesting editing on Wikipedia. It is strongly discouraged to create or edit articles about your organization. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:37, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Cat guy3 (00:54, 5 April 2024)

when should i go to medium edits --Cat guy3 (talk) 00:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi Cat guy3, I assume you are talking about the difficulty of edits over at Special:Homepage? You can edit whatever you like whenever you feel comfortable doing so. Every editor is encouraged to be bold. Feel free to reach out to experienced editors if you ever have any specific questions. :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:39, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation

Hi Maliner :) I hope you don't mind that I answered some of the newbie questions above... I figured you were busy. Apologies if I overstepped, though. Anyways, I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. There's no time limit, so you can contribute whenever you want to. But also feel free to pass if you're not interested. Cheers, Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 01:00, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

@Thank you so much, Clovermoss, for this great opportunity. I will surely do it. And thank you once again for helping the newbies in my absence. I am really a great fan of yours and am learning the ropes of editing Wikipedia from experienced editors like you.

I will be happy to see you on the arbitration committee soon. Regards. 😊 Maliner (talk) 07:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh no, I have no plans for ArbCom whatsoever. I appreciate the confidence, though, but that's just not something I'd ever see myself being comfortable doing. It was hard enough for people to convince me to run for RfA! Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

And I was lucky to support you there. I will surely support you again if you ever run for the ArbCom elections. I think you are nice enough. Regards 😊 Maliner (talk) 07:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi PoisonHK, Thanks for adding references. It seems your draft is currently a pending AFC submission. So it should be reviewed by an AFC reviewer soon. Thanks for your patience. Regards. Maliner (talk) 12:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, got it. Happy editing! PoisonHK _{Sapiens dominabitur astris} 13:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Aershan Yiershi Airport

Hello, Maliner, I don't understand your tagging request here. You are asking to move this page to itself which is impossible. Do you want to make it a redirect to another page? Or move another page to this page title? Please retag this page to make your wishes more clear. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Liz It seems you are tipsy at the moment. I was only the page mover here who performed the requested page move, not the one who tagged the article for speedy. I hope this helps. Best Regards. Maliner (talk) 07:58, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi CanonNi. Unfortunately, I need to decline your speedy tag in the above-mentioned article, which was mistakenly attributed to me by Liz, as we usually leave redirects for the older titles while moving pages to the new titles to avoid broken links or 404s. Let me know if you have any further queries. Best Regards. Maliner (talk) 08:11, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
