Reversion of Janet Napolitano page edits

Hi James- I was wondering about your rationale for reverting my changes to Janet Napolitano's $15 minimum wage policy. This was a major policy announcement, generating a wave of national headlines (likely the result of a PR push) and considered the first time a University system set a $15 minimum. There are 6 policy initiatives mentioned in her page's University of California section, and none as worthy of inclusion on her wikipedia entry (though I suppose an argument could be made that the carbon-neutrality initiative is equally worthy). Is it that my additions focused too much on implementation, was too detailed, and/or the citations did not adequately capture the national attention it received? Your stated rationale, on its face, would preclude all of the 6 policy initiatives mentioned if it precludes the $15 minimum wage policy.

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello James Allison,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

  • Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
  • Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.
