New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Bellezzasolo,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

List of users with more than 10k edits

Hello friend. I ran across your excellent work when I recently forked a user highlighter script. Here's my fork. One of the features I added to the fork was highlighting for users with more than 10k edits. I created my own JSON list of users with 10k+ edits here.

Anyway, from looking at the code, it looks like you have bots set up that do SQL queries and create a JSON user list in the correct format, running monthly. I was wondering if, instead of me re-inventing the wheel, that you might be willing to generate the 10k list on a monthly basis? It looks like you're very busy, so please only look into this if it's quick and easy for you. Here's the SQL code.

SELECT user_name FROM user WHERE user_editcount >= 10000 ORDER BY user_editcount DESC;

Thanks a lot. Looking forward to your feedback. –Novem Linguae (talk) 01:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Asking a question

Hello! Hope you're alright. I was creating a page for Orbit Culture band but the old page got deleted about 2 years ago due to lack of references. This new one I created has reliable references but since the old one was already removed, I used a new title like this: Orbit Culture (band). here is the draft for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Orbit_Culture_(band) I'd appreciate it if you could look into this new one and replace it with the old one. here is the old page that got removed 2 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Orbit_Culture It's written that "no further edits should be made to this page." so I made a new article for that. If there's anything I should do to replace the old one with this new article, let me know. --LastRaven77 (talk) 16:45, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I guess you were the one who deleted that old page so I thought maybe you can replace it with this new article.

No, I wasn't the one who deleted the page, nor nominated it - I'm not an Admin, so don't have the power to delete, that was Sandstein, and the nominator was admin Anachronist. I just looked at the page as it was and offered my opinion, naturally I can't remember what it looked like at the time!
That said, the page was recreated more recently, and deleted by Deb in February - "A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events): Multiple reasons: speedy deletion criteria G4, G11". However, your draft I don't think is anywhere near G11, and A7 doesn't seem to apply either, as there is at least a credible claim to importance.
As was mentioned in the deletion discussion, the threshold you need to meet is GNG, where the crux of the matter is whether your sources accept self-promotional content. Looking at the sources, it's hard for me to make a judgement on that, so possibly needs bringing up at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. In the meantime I've had a look through the archives there - Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Thrash Hits mentions Metal Injection, I can't find any references to Stormbringer, not even on German Wikipedia. For Distorted Sound Magazine, there's a page detailing advertising. If "full page ad" means an article, i.e. Sponsored Content, that's self promotional, so the source isn't reliable. Metal Forces has its own Wikipedia page, which is promising, so I at least suspect it's worth pursuing.
Thanks, Bellezzasolo Discuss 17:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure who tried to make the page in February but that wasn't me. Is there any way you can publish the page so other editors can have their opinions on the references as well? I used references such as: Revolver Magazine, Dead Rhetoric, Storm Bringer, Metal Hammer, etc... They all dedicated some pages to review this band and surely I'll try to improve the article as much as I can as well. I just want another chance for this page. --LastRaven77 (talk) 17:39, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Bug with Bellezzasolo Bot

Renamed users are not updated to the renamed usernames in the javascript files for the user highlighter. For example Sammartinlai (talk · contribs), who was renamed in December 2018, remains in the list (even though no account exists for that username) and their username BlueD954 (talk · contribs) since December 2018 is not on the list (even though the username should be). I would appreciate if you could fix that. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 21:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Dreamy Jazz, Ah, the way that bot works is looking through the user rights logs. To fix that would need to add an extra item by looking on the rename log... I'll take a look. Bellezzasolo Discuss 19:58, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Bellezzasolo,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

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 or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

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.

  • Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928)
  • When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)
