Question from Naphxing (15:24, 16 June 2023)

Hi, first time editing here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sijil_Pelajaran_Malaysia

In this article, the results document reveals a lot of personal information. How should I censor those? --Naphxing (talk) 15:24, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

I do not mind. I prefer to keep it original. Thank you for your concern. --Ong Kai Jin (talk) 17:00, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
Dear @Naphxing, I do understand your concern although, in general, if someone chooses to reveal something about themselves on Wikipedia that is their choice.
Dear @Ong Kai Jin, two points, one personal, one policy related. First, I'd strongly encourage you (in fact I would do this for all editors) not to include information on Wikipedia that can be used to identify yourself. While it is a personal choice, it is very hard to predict the long-term consequences. Second, on a policy related note, the certificate is a work of the government, under Malaysian law, government works are copyright for 50 years from creation except under the provisions of s.3 ("literary work": "but does not include official texts of the Government") of the Copyright Act, in which case they are public domain. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 21:39, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
@Ong Kai Jin - looking at this a little more closely, I'm not sure this is covered by the public domain exemption of the Copyright Act. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:14, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Goldsztajn/Archives/2023,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
