Disambiguation link notification for January 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 10th Magritte Awards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baloji (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello Earthh,
- Source Guide Discussion
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
- Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
- Discussions and Resources
- There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
- A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
- A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
- A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
- Refresher
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

January 2020
[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:Joker (2019 film)]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|the bold, revert, discuss cycle]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]].
'''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''—especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
The information you removed had been in place since around October and was unchallenged until you removed it. That classifies as consensus through editing. Since your removal was challenged, please restore it and discuss on the talk page. JOEBRO64 21:06, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- I don't believe you understand BRD. The contested material was removed without objection on 12 January establishing a consensus per WP:SILENCE; after that, the page was edited 24 times by 18 different users and this classifies, as you kindly explained above, as a consensus through editing. Before reinstating any contested material, you need to discuss on the talk page and find a new consensus. Thank you, --Earthh (talk) 23:32, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Four months trumps a week. Your edit was bold and eventually contested, so BRD still applies. You're also not allowed to edit other users' talk page comments. JOEBRO64 23:52, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
TheJoebro64, WP:TPO does not apply to user talk pages, which rely on WP:UP. The latter allows user to edit their own talk page. I want to make clear for the last time that your comment has been stricken because you did not understand what BRD is, making a wrong use of tmp:uw-3rr, ignoring the rules to reach a new consensus, which has been reached after other users joined the discussion. If you make a wrong use of user warning templates, these will be removed or stricken. I cannot really see the point of editing past discussions. Regards, --Earthh (talk) 16:13, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- WP:UP literally says that the entirety of WP:TPG applies to user talk pages, which shows a lack of understanding on your part. This is my last comment on the matter. JOEBRO64 22:03, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- You missed WP:UP#CMT, I guess.--Earthh (talk) 22:24, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:BeTV.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:BeTV.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello Earthh,
- Your help can make a difference
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
- Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
- Discussions and Resources
- A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
- Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
- A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
- Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

The article Ostend Film Festival has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (events) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello Earthh,
- 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.

Hi Earthh,
Thanks for your edits on Joker (DC Extended Universe). I just wanted to let you know that I've warned the anonymous user about edit-warring, and appreciate you following the 3-revert rule on that page. With that being said, I'll start a new section on the talk page to hopefully resolve this in a more civil manner, and invite you to take part in it.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello Earthh,
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.

Jared Leto reversions

- You can add to the article that his performance was critically panned if there are sources supporting this claim (and it seems they say the opposite, at the moment).

House of Gucci
Hi there Earthh. I am contacting you regarding an edit I made a few weeks ago, which you reverted. I didn't bother reverting back as I did feel your revert was valid at the time, but if I'm honest, I am reconsidering as I'm still concerned over the inclusion, which is why I wanted your opinion on this. I still don't feel that Leto's performance should be included as praised, at least not in the lead, which is what my concern is over. It's true that Screen Rant is not reviewing, but rather summarizing the critical reception, yet I don't feel it is suitable to include that, as in my opinion, it wouldn't be giving WP:DUE weight. Although Screen Rant claims Leto's performance was praised, it never supported its claim that it was, as it never mentions who was praising it, and per WP:RSPSS, Screen Rant is only marginally reliable, therefore I don't think we should be heavily relying on it solely on that source, especially when the source in question is a medium-quality one that is in the minority. Many other sources have pointed out that his performance was actually the opposite (Even Screen Rant has admitted that his performance received criticism [1][2], as well as the more reliable Digital Spy [3]). Frankly, it sounds misleading to say his performance was praised. I don't object to briefly mentioning it in the body (perhaps saying something like polarizing or similar), but I don't feel it's right to include it in the lead, especially when the majority views it as either bad, or simply doesn't even address or acknowledge it. But one thing is for sure, rarely have higher quality sources claimed it was praised. — Film Enthusiast✉ 00:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
- Film Enthusiast, I restored that edit because you were removing reliably sourced content without any reason. Clearly, sources do not suggest that his performance received widespread acclaim, yet they recognize general praise when summarizing the film's critical reception. Screen Rant do not appear to be the only one claiming this, as a quick search hints [4][5][6]. Personally, I would remove both Gaga and Leto from the lead, since the award nominations mentioned shortly afterwards suggest in a more neutral way which performance got the most praise. But please be careful to avoid WP:SYNTH: your opinion appears to be a synthesis of published material, implying a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source.--Earthh (talk) 23:18, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- Well I did give a reason, you obviously just didn't agree with it, no hard feelings though. I didn't think it would cause such turmoil, as again, Screen Rant is not generally reliable (although not exactly unreliable either), so removing it didn't seem to be so problematic. I'm not sure how reliable the sources you are referring to are, but either way, it seems like there's enough coverage claiming that it has received both praise and criticism. So for that reason, I agree that removing both Gaga and Leto from the lead would be best, and simply leave that the cast's performances was received generally well. This way it sounds more neutral and accurate to what sources state. That being said, I was not aware that my opinions were giving off OR, it was not my intention. Perhaps I should've been more careful of how I explained my views. Will make sure to not do that again. — Film Enthusiast✉ 17:23, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
In this edit, you refer to WP:BLANKING but you do the opposite of what it says. Please don't restore talkpage posts that the user has removed. Bishonen | tålk 22:38, 13 April 2022 (UTC).
- Generally, warnings should not be removed before the question has been discussed and settled, also the user's offensive and dismissive behavior suggests that he's not willing to find a resolution. Earthh (talk) 10:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- You're making that up. Users have a right to remove posts from their talkpage, with a few specific exceptions that don't apply here. See WP:BLANKING for what those exceptions are. It feels strange to have to repeatedly provide you with a link that you used first, but whatever. If you restore a removed comment again, you may be blocked. Compare also Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments, an explanatory essay which provides greater detail for the guideline WP:BLANKING. Bishonen | tålk 16:34, 15 April 2022 (UTC).

Hi Earthh, there's been something on my mind as of late that I wanted to talk to you about. I have a dilemma. I remember reviewing this article for you and quickly passing it because the work on the article was stellar, and strictly speaking, it still meets the criteria, which is why I think I would want it to stay. On the other hand, everything that the EP covers is one song ("A Beautiful Lie") that was already released as a single, and while the titles are different, the differences are otherwise insubstantial. I don't see what is so radically different or notable about this EP that it couldn't be covered as part of A Beautiful Lie (song); in fact, I see this as closer to an expanded single than an album release. However, since I've already listed it, I feel bad that what would have to happen in order to achieve that goal is that it would first have to be delisted. I value your opinion on the matter and if you do not wish for that to happen, I will not pursue the matter further and I will pretend this conversation did not happen, but it is something that has been lingering in my mind for a while. dannymusiceditor oops 15:34, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- DannyMusicEditor, thank you for letting me know. To the Edge of the Earth is actually a different release from "A Beautiful Lie": they have different release dates, artworks, formats and coverage, yet some information related to "A Beautiful Lie" are necessarily covered in To the Edge of the Earth cause its tracklisting includes a number of versions of that track and its music video. I feel there is enough information to have two different articles, due to the fact that the EP is one of a series of releases related to the band's environmental campaign.--Earthh (talk) 21:59, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't realize there was a series of connected releases, that's interesting. The way I envisioned it would be a subsection of "A Beautiful Lie", but if there's more to the story, then maybe we should approach it differently. Is there more on that I can read on? dannymusiceditor oops 23:02, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry for the long delay DannyMusicEditor, I've been busy with my exams. As the page says, To the Edge of the Earth was conceived as part of an environmental campaign started by the band, which includes two music videos (for the song "A Beautiful Lie"), a website (now offline), a collaboration with the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the use of environmentally friendly material for the physical release of this EP.

Hello Earthh,
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.

You are risking a block
At this AN3 complaint it appears you have violated 3RR at Morbius (film). There may still be time for you to respond to the complaint and promise to wait for consensus before reverting again. Let me know. EdJohnston (talk) 16:47, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello Earthh,
- 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: 13379 articles, as of 00:00, 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}}

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello Earthh,
- Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
- Coordination
- MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
- Open letter to the WMF
- The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
- TIP - Reviewing by subject
- Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
- New reviewers
- The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
- 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.
