Hello!!
Please can you upload a picture on Shubhaavi Choksey Wikipedia Page. You have done so many edits ,it will be a great help on it.

- Hi, unfortunately uploading photographs of a living person is very complicated due to all the permissions required which is why I don't do it unless it has already been uploaded to wikicommons without any problems.@Diannaa: may have some advice, regards, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:08, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

About my update to Princeton Community TV
Who are you? Why did you remove my addition to Princeton Community Television? I am a member of the station and added a show I know about. 173.72.0.164 (talk) 00:11, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Because Wikipedia is supposed to be written in a neutral tone and your entry was written in a promotional tone, also see WP:COI. Also Wikipedia is based on what reliable sources say about subjects not what the subjects such as a TV station says about itself. You can readd it if you can edit it to be factual rather than pr, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 03:14, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- As for me I'm an ordinary editor who tries to prevent pr, vandalism and original research on the thousands of articles on my watchlist Atlantic306 (talk) 03:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
I respectfully disagree with your assessment of my change to Princeton Community Television
I respectfully disagree with your assessment of my post on the Princeton Community Television page. For the Princeton Community Television page I added another broadcast show that is on the channel. There are dozens of shows on this Community Television channel that, like this one, are self-funded via their donor membership and show producers.
In this post there is no company promotion, conflict of interest, sales or services offered in what I wrote. I only identified the show host and described his path to become a show producer. That information supports and validates why he is the host. Everything is factual about Mr. Uva. And, I am not a representative, employee or board member of the station. I live local to Princeton, NJ and periodically watch the channel. Why am I not a reliable resource for this post?
The information is potentially valuable to college-bound high-school students and their parents across the county. I believe you misunderstood the intent of the post.
I ask that you let me know what you specifically saw as "promotional" and not factual in my description, and recommend a change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbschuchman (talk • contribs) 22:42, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, this is the part that is not neutral: "Now after many years and over 200 shows later, and building a following that has grown to over 1 million via YouTube, Vimeo and social media, he continues to give back to high school students and their parents." I suggest changing it to "There have been more than 200 shows broadcast and he has a social media following of over 1 million." regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:59, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the suggestion. I will make that change to the update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbschuchman (talk • contribs) 04:19, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Atlantic306,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 803 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 851 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hi, this edit [1] restored an unreliable source I removed from the article. Per WP:RSNP, "There is consensus that The Electronic Intifada is generally unreliable with respect to its reputation for accuracy, fact-checking, and error-correction. " Accordingly, it is flagged "red". Please remove it. Izzy Borden (talk) 23:28, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello Atlantic306,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13397 articles, as of 04:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list.

Xentrix - For Whose Advantage?
Do I really need a review or two in order to make it public? References I understand but reviews are irrelevant to a wiki article; And not all articles on albums contain reviews from cites like Metacritic or Metal Injection. Besides, if someone wants to see reviews for it they'll go to metal archives or just simply type 'For Whose Advantage? reviews' on google. Kingofstillport (talk) 03:05, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- The better articles, C class and above, have details of reviews, the worst ones don't and they are more liable to be deleted or redirected to the band article as many music articles are each week. Reviews are considered more important than interviews as they are independent rather than the band talking about themselves which can be promotional. Reliable music sources are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources where metal archives is rated an unreliable source. Other reviewes may take a different stance, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 03:41, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- I added a recent review on the remasters to the article; Hope that works. I had a really hard tume finding a review from trust worthy cite. If I can't find any reviews for it, can an article still be made? Some old articles on obscure records don't have any reviews listed on them yet are still up.

- Hi, i'll review the article tomorrow. Thanks for adding an album review, that helps towards passing WP:GNG, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 20:04, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
