New Page Review - Newsletter No.4

Hello Razer2115,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 804 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE.

Hi, I am afraid I cant help you with this. If you believe your article need to be restored to Wikipedia , You need to Request at WP:UNDELETE. You can also request any admin to provide you with the content of the deleted article as they have the tools to view deleted articles. Razer^Talk 03:57, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My Page

You deleted my page Wiggle Town for no reason. It may sound mean but that's what they call them selves. If you asked anyone what that area was called they would say Wiggle Town.And if you think it's "inappropriate" because I said lower and upper class, maybe you should suck it up because that's how life is. If you would have done it for any other reason, I probably wouldn't have been mad. Most area around Plattsburgh have a wiki page. I decided to make a page on Wiggle Town. Everything in that article is true. You probably haven't even been there! So next time you delete a page, think... do I have the authority or reason to delete this page Miikkaevan (talk) 01:32, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern. I removed the CSD tag as soon as I found out that it is a real place. The page was redirected to the main article by Hammersoft and not deleted [1]. Razer^Talk 05:39, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding MandYcPP

I think we should give User:MandYcPP some time to flesh out their article before we speedy it, or at least try to explain to them why their page won't fly on Wikipedia. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 09:11, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Although I believe the user falls in the WP:NOTHERE category , I agree with you in holding of CSD tags for the time being Razer^Talk 09:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I mentioned you in an ANI thread. Not anything bad or in any way a big deal, but I think there's some requirement to notify any user you mention on his or her talk page. I've no doubt that there's a posse of wiki-lawyers just champing at the bit to get me for any "violation" possible, so I'm just erring on the side of caution.

Hi RazerTalk
Since you belongs to India, You are the right person to save this page Ravi D. Channannavar from deletion. Ravi D. Channannavar is very famous police officer in Karnataka, almost everyone in Karnataka is aware of his name. He is also called Karnataka Singham or Kannadada Singham for his unique style of working. Please do search in Google once Please do use https://www.google.co.in for searching, this is what we get default search engine URL in india.

Ajeet Aryan Sharma

I recognize that you have concerns that Ajeet Aryan Sharma may be a hoax — but please note that because there's already an active AFD discussion underway at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ajeet Aryan Sharma, we have to respect and follow the AFD process. Accordingly I've declined the speedy — please feel free to comment at the AFD discussion with some evidence that it's a hoax, but please don't restore the speedy template in the meantime. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 15:58, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bearcat, I fully understand your reason for declining the speedy but I am 100% positive that the article is a hoax. In the infobox it claims that the subject is "Member of the India Parliament for Palamu" but these sources 1, 2 state clearly that the current MP from Palamu is Vishnu Dayal Ram. Razer(talk) 16:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I get that, and I've already cast a delete vote in the AFD discussion, but the problem is that it's already been speedied three times but got repeatedly recreated again. So we have to escalate it to a full AFD, because that way we can salt the title altogether once the discussion closes. The AFD can still close early on a speedy consensus if enough people argue for that, but we just need to have a documented discussion at this point since it's been recreated and speedied three times.

Page deleted

Hi Razer2115,

I have created a page AudioSolutionZ and further updating it for more info on which you placed a tag for speedy deletion. After deletion of the page, I have realized that I should keep that in draft mode and should take help from other editors on Wikipedia before publishing it.Also saw a message that being an administrator you can restore deleted material for future reference or improvement. So would request you to restore that article on draft mode so that I can further improve that and once it reached to a level that will fulfill wiki guidelines will push to publish it. Jamesinhere (talk) 14:54, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jamesinhere. I do not have the tools to restore deleted pages as I am not a Wikipedia admin. The article was deleted by RHaworth. You should consider making a request at their talk page. Razer(talk) 15:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Razer2115, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!

Outreach and Invitations:

If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update:

ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2017 News

Guild of Copy Editors December 2017 News

Hello copy editors! Welcome to the December 2017 GOCE newsletter, which contains nine months(!) of updates. The Guild has been busy and successful; your diligent efforts in 2017 has brought the backlog of articles requiring copy edit to below 1,000 articles for the first time. Thanks to all editors who have contributed their time and energy to help make this happen.

>>> Sign up for the January Drive! <<<

>>> Participate in the Coordinator Elections! <<<

Our copy-editing drives (month-long backlog-reduction drives held in odd-numbered months) and blitzes (week-long themed editing in even-numbered months) have been very successful this year.

March drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2016 from our backlog and all February 2017 Requests (a total of 304 articles). By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22 editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.)

April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme was Requests. Of the 15 who signed up, 9 editors completed 43 articles (81,822 words).

May drive: The goals were to remove July, August, and September 2016 from the backlog and to complete all March 2017 Requests (a total of 300 articles). By the end of the month, we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles. Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words).

June blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme was Requests. Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words).

2017 Coordinator elections: In June, coordinators for the second half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated!

July drive: We set out to remove August, September, October, and November 2016 from the backlog and to complete all May and June 2017 Requests (a total of 242 articles). The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so that December 2016 was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive. By the end of the month, only three articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to 1,363 articles. Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words).

August blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme was biographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months (47 articles). Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words).

September drive: The goals were to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all August 2017 Requests (a total of 338 articles). Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words).

October blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme was Requests. Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words).

November drive: We set out again to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all October 2017 Requests (a total of 207 articles). By the end of the month, these goals were reached and the backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles, the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old. Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words).

2018 Coordinator elections: Voting is open for the election of coordinators for the first half of 2018. Please visit the election page to vote between now and December 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Thanks for participating!

Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before (or after) every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Keira1996.

New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello Razer2115, 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

Speedy Deletion

Hi, I have submitted a response regarding an article which was recently marked for speedy-deletion. Thanks and all the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalitmail (talk • contribs) 15:19, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Razer2115:. Please take a look at Darbhanga and Purnia pages. Thanks. — Jakichandan (talk) 03:38, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Razer2115 and SpacemanSpiff: please take a look at it again as it is apparent that WP:socking has started again (particularly on Darbhanga page). Thanks. — Jakichandan (talk) 04:30, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BigPicture

Just a friendly heads up on BigPicture. I declined your speedy deletion request because software is specifically excluded from WP:A7. ----Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:32, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fabrictramp . I should not be making these kinds of basic mistakes no matter the excuse. Now that I think about it software is obviously a creative work and hence it makes sense that it is excluded from WP:A7. Thanks for the heads up ( I am glad you made a friendly comment and not a snarky remark). I assure you that I will go through the guidelines again and will be careful with the CSD tags in future. Cheers Razer(talk) 04:38, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Razer2115, 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.

June 2018 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News

Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days.

Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed.

March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words).

April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words).

May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words).

Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June.

June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Corinne, Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tdslk.

Robert Moran (Yacht broker)

Good Day Sir,

You tagged my post for speedy deletion due to the gentleman in question not being noteworthy. I would like to contest that and would draw your attention to the fact that he is the largest broker of super yachts in the world with an annual turnover in excess of 200,000,000 dollars who advertises in every yachting publication and pays Boat International for example, 150,000 pounds biannually to do so.. This gent pays to be publicly visible and trades on that reputation. I feel he is sufficiently noteworthy to be on wikipedia and to all of the yachting community he is a very visible figure. He has offices globally and really is the first and last word in yacht brokerage. I planned on creating a page on his brokerage firm also which would put his importance into context.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration.

Fame and Wikipedia notablity standards have no corelation. It is possible for someone to be famous but still not meet Wikipedia's notability standards due to lack of reliable, published, independent sources that can be used as the basis for an article. Please see WP:BIO for details regarding Wikipedia notablity standards.

Also , Wikipedia is not a tool for promotional purpose. Information about the subject must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources.

I would also like to remind you that if you are in any way related to the subject of the article , you must disclose your COI, Please see WP:COI and WP:PAID Razer(talk) 10:23, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sig cleanup

Could you please update your signature to use modern HTML? Your use of the ... element (which hasn't existed in HTML for over a decade) is causing every page you sign to show up in our "lint" cleanup lists; this is an impediment to our eventual migration to pure HTML5. The fix is very simple:

Just change:

[[User:Razer2115|<big>'''Razer'''</big>]]([[User Talk:Razer2115|<big>'''talk'''</big>]])

to:

[[User:Razer2115|<big>'''Razer'''</big>]]([[User Talk:Razer2115|<big>'''talk'''</big>]])

It's not necessary to specify black in the talk link, since that's the default text color.

You can make it even shorter this way, by converting the Mediawik pseudo-element <big> to the equivalent size with CSS (and this also saves the parser some work):

[[User:Razer2115|'''Razer''']]([[User Talk:Razer2115|'''talk''']])

— SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:27, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done, Thanks for the heads up . I have used your second recommendation with the added black attribute. I don't have much knowledge about CSS and HTML but isn't the default link color blue? As you can see here Without specifying the talkpage link as black The link appears as blue. Cheers Razer(talk) 14:41, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

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

Hello Razer2115, 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.

Hilcona edit

Hello Razer2115, thank you for your edit in Hilcona. I added two articles in the Liechtensteiner Vaterland and the Aargauer Zeitung as sources and would like to remove your templates. Is this OK for you? Notability of ″Hilcona″ should be proven by mentions in the largest newspaper of the country and an above average revenue and number of employees.--Qwertz1894 (talk) 11:11, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I see that you have added a couple of references after my edit. Although it would be ideal if a 3rd person review and handle the templates , I have no problem whatsoever if you decide to remove them yourself. Cheers. Razer(talk) 17:16, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Survive the Summer

In your edit summary, you said you had no idea how it showed up in the new pages queue. It showed up because it was recently turned into a redirect and then back into an article. Those always show up as new pages. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 20:14, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sapna Choudhary

Hey Razer, just a quick note about the aforementioned article. Don't forget to move talk pages when you move articles; I've fixed that for this article. Also, it looks like Sapna Chaudhary is an alternate spelling that had also been salted so I created a redirect. Cheers, Airplaneman ✈ 22:37, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
