User talk: Eubot and Twinkle

[edit]

I reverted the last 500 edits on that page, removing between 300k and 400k bytes, and reducing the number of sections from the 600s to the 100s. Almost all of those edits were automated Twinkle edits for the redirect deletion. Is that okay? HotdogPi 16:56, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@HotdogPi: I'd prefer you archive the noticies to a separate page for future reference, for I have a bunch of lists of redirects that I (and SimonTrew need to keep an eye on, if I notice any redlinks, I'd just go and remove them off the list. Thanks. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:48, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re:RfD/Eubot

[edit]

Thanks! Can't promise how much of my time I'll be able to spend on it, since I have multiple long-term, large-scale, eternally-repetitive tasks I'm involved with either permanently or from time to time, but I should be able to put some time in it at least every now and then. From time to time I need a break from the other things anyway. Found your lists of Eubot redirects. To avoid repeating your work or having you needlessly repeat mine, any preference for which list I pick to start from? Also, would it be acceptable if I edit whichever list I end up working from to mark the ones I've checked and either found valid or listed at RfD, so it's easier at a glance to see which ones I've either not yet checked or was uncertain about? I'd leave the actual list in-tact, not gonna remove stuff from it, probably would just put Checked or something similar at the start of the ones done, and something like (RfD) with a link to the discussion for those posted to RfD. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 04:46, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • @AddWittyNameHere: Any list will do, but I suggest you begin with 18 for that one is almost done with and work your way backwards, and that way is just fine with me, but a list entry should be removed if it deleted/kept at RfD or certain that it will be kept, the progress meter should be updated accordingly, also, if you are not sure about any of them, just make a new section and move them there. Thanks. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 04:59, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds fine. There's no consensus either way yet for the em-dash/double-hyphen cases or the ligatures like Æ/AE, from what I can tell. Any other cases I'd better either hold off on entirely or at most put up a small batch of to check consensus?
Does 'certain it will be kept' include all cases of blatantly valid redirect, or solely those where similar eubot-created cases have actually been 'tested' against RfD? AddWittyNameHere (talk) 05:21, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@AddWittyNameHere: I suggest you ask SimonTrew for he has been doing a lot of this, I can't recall any of these at the top of my head, thanks. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 05:43, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see, I see. Oh well, there's enough stuff in there that I am sure ought to be RfDed-and-deleted that I'll focus on those for now. In the mean time I've listed a couple more at RfD, found two clearly valid no-diacritic redirs and removed them from the list & added a quick link to the RfD discussion for all ongoing discussions for list 18.

CSD X1 & X2

[edit]

Just a note, when tagging for speedy deletion under the temporary criteria CSD X1 & X2, you can use the standard templates {{db-x1}} & {{db-x2}}. These templates will properly tag and categorize the target for deletion. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 01:50, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of On the other hand

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on On the other hand requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --Animalparty!

New Page Review - newsletter No.2

[edit]
Hello Champion,
A HUGE backlog

We now have 811 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

Hitting 17,000 soon

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

  1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
  2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
  3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

[edit]

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

I'm not sure why you created Angus (name), but I've retargeted it to Angus (disambiguation)#Names.

Disambiguation pages

[edit]

Hello, Champion. When you changed the ABC TV redirect so that its target was a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:

When creating disambiguation pages, fix all resulting mis-directed links.
Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "ABC TV" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:30, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4

[edit]
Hello Champion,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 811 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.

not an attack page.

[edit]

How was my user page an attack page in any way? How did I threaten or even dislike Donald Trump in any way? I wrote the explanation that It's based on an inside joke, but deleting non-threatening account pages and then THREATENING me with blocking is kind of ironic. Donald Trung (talk) 13:36, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply] 

in It's entirety:

"G10. Pages that disparage, threaten, intimidate, or harass their subject or some other entity, and serve no other purpose

Shortcut: WP:G10 Main page: Wikipedia:Attack page Examples of "attack pages" may include libel, legal threats, material intended purely to harass or intimidate a person or biographical material about a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced. These pages should be speedily deleted when there is no neutral version in the page history to revert to. Both the page title and page content may be taken into account in assessing an attack. Articles about living people deleted under this criterion should not be restored or recreated by any editor until the biographical article standards are met. Redirects from plausible search terms are not eligible under this criterion. For example, a term used on the target page to refer to its subject is often a plausible redirect – see Wikipedia:RNEUTRAL."

There is not a single thing on this list that my account page could've been considered guilty of, it didn't attack him, I don't even hate Donald Trump, I literally stayed at one of his hotels once, and my friends joke that I'm his cousin because our names sound so similar (I live and work in Australia and adopted the name "Donald" back in 1992 and I've been joked about being related to Donald Trump a couple of years after.

Trump - Accusations of bigotry and racism

[edit]

Could you please let me know why you erased the section of accusations of bigotry under Trump. This topic has been under discussion for days in the Talk page. It seems clear that most users think that this is a serious issue. Although there is disagreement about the truth value of statements such as "Donald Trump is a racist", no-one has yet denied that this is a matter of public debate. Therefore, the facts about the accusations and the record of Trump's behavior should be included in his article. Avisnacks (talk) 08:15, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emperor Entertainment Group

[edit]

Hi, could you explain why you relisted this discussion: the general rule is that we relist twice unless there is a strong reason otherwise. The last relist by RoySmith was intended to allow previous participants a chance to weigh in on whether they still favoured deletion: none who commented changed their opinion, and all the new participants favoured deletion and had policy-based rationales. This seems like a case where it would have been best to let an admin assess the consensus rather than do a third relist. TonyBallioni (talk) 06:11, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, this message was initially left on the TOP of my talk page, other than that, the only reason I reverted it is that it was not specified what exactly the assistance is and I thought that the editor left the message for an uninvolved person, thank you for understanding. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:08, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

[edit]
Hello Champion, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
  • Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!

Technology update:

  • The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225

General project update:

  • On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
  • Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.
  • To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

Speedy deletion declined: Eleanor Nathan

[edit]

Hello Champion. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Eleanor Nathan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: notable husband = valid merge/redirect target per WP:ATD => ineligible for speedy deletion. Thank you. SoWhy 07:12, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please do try to follow WP:BEFORE even when tagging for speedy deletion. In this case I was able to find two books explicitly covering her life on multiple pages with a short Google Books search and I have now expanded the article to be eligible for WP:DYK.

ArbCom 2017 election voter message

[edit]

Hello, Champion. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Your draft article, Draft:Political map

[edit]

Hello, Champion. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Political map".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. TKK! bark with me! 16:14, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

[edit]
Hello Champion, 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.
  • To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.
