You think I'm missing something?--S Philbrick(Talk) 02:13, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Sphilbrick, you are absolutely right, my mistake :( thanks for catching it! I’m just getting back into npp and forgot to check the status thoroughly enough. Eddie891 Talk Work 02:32, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
Eddie891, np, I do a lot of copyright work, and miss it myself on occasion. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:45, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Eddie891,

I have seen Wikipedia articles that link to the article in question, which display not as links but as bolded inline text. To my way of thinking, this is helpful to the user. So, while I am fine with you removing the numeric equivalent of the Senators in parentheses, as I wasn't sure if that was preferred or not, I'm just wondering why many editors link to the article on the same page and many do not? There seems to be no consistent standard here—at least one that is not consistently applied.

Note: To keep this conversation together, please reply here.

- --Doug Mehus (talk) 17:13, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Dmehus, Perhaps you are referring to this edit? If so, it doesn't make sense to link to the Canadian Senators Group on the page Canadian Senators Group, because it just takes readers to the same article. As far as I know, the article is never linked on its own page, unless you are linking to a sub page. The first instance of the articles title is generally bolded, but sometimes is not if there is no easily laid out subject, as is the case on pages such as History of Microsoft, where it is impractical to say 'the history of Microsoft begins..." and instead can just begin "Microsoft is a...". If I didn't answer your question, please let me know. Eddie891 Talk Work 20:58, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Eddie891 Yeah, I believe that's the one, but when you wikilink the same page, the MediaWiki software, as I understand it, automatically does not make that link a link; rather it just bolds it. I definitely get the rationale for unlinking if it did make it a link, as that'd make it a double-redirect. I have seen instances where the same page links to itself on the first instance and others where it does not. So, it's unclear which method is correct or, in any case, whichever method is correct is not being consistently applied, it seems to me. Anyway, thanks for your reply and comments. Doug Mehus (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Dmehus, I'd say that the most common method is bolding the first instance. You are right in that a link to the same page will display simply as bold text. I've personally never actually seen the page being linked rather than bolded. Happy editing! Eddie891 Talk Work 21:12, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Eddie891, Okay, sounds good. Thanks for the reply. :) Doug Mehus (talk) 21:31, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter December 2019

A graph showing the number of articles in the page curation feed from 12/21/18 - 12/20/19

Reviewer of the Year

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

Redirect autopatrol

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Fake achievements by Kingdom of the Two Sicilies

Hi there! I’m writing just to let you know that in Italy, since 2011, some Neo-borobonic (“neoborbonici”) associations, smallest parties and (non scholars) authors are publishing books with a list of (fake) achievements held by the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in order to appear a lost rich and powerful country (e.g. the fake claims to be the 3rd most powerful country of Europe, recognized even at the Paris expo). Moreover this fake list is being copied and pasted on several websites and social media networks as well for the same nostalgic purpose. Please be aware. Thank you. --Nicola Romani (talk) 00:36, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Eddie891,

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
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.
