New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Joseywales1961,

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).

Page Review

Thank you for reviewing the Slingshot_(whiskey) page. I created another page which hasn't yet been reviewed. As I'm a new editor, I don't know how long these things typically take, but the whiskey page all happened quite quickly which maybe gave me a misleading impression. Anyhow, would you mind taking a look at it? It's Jeremy Leibler. Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 05:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Whitemancanjump23, welcome to wikipedia! Pages are reviewed in no particular order and can sometimes (with a suiable short article like your first one) be seen quickly depending on how many reviewers are active. At the moment our backlog to review is around 6,500 articles so it may take some time with only 8 reviewers looking at more than 10 articles in the last 24 hours. I'm mobile at the moment but will look at new pages this evening (Irish time) and will look out for your page if it's not already done by then. Best wishes Josey Wales^Parley 11:08, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 11:10, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NPP school

Hi, thanks for replying to my message on the new page previewer talk page. I'm happy to be part of the NPP school, I might not be able tomorrow (Friday) but I will be available on Saturday if this is okay with you? Thanks, SarahTHunter (talk) 12:52, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SarahTHunter we don't have to be online together, so I will set up the page for you tomorrow and post the link to it here for you to look at on Saturday, good luck with the study! Josey Wales^Parley 15:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again SarahTHunter, your NPP School page has been started and can be found here. Please bookmark that page and ping me when you have completed the first question. Josey Wales^Parley 22:40, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm afraid to say that I am going to withdraw from the NPP school because I haven't had time to do the assignments as I'm very busy at the moment. It's been great to learn but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, I cannot continue. SarahTHunter (talk) 15:23, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NPPSCHOOL request

Hi, I am interested in starting NPP school. Given your recent edit to WP:NPPSCHOOL, I'd like to see if you would be willing to take me on as a student. I am familiar with some basic NPP skills, but I would like to gain a comprehensive understanding of how exactly things work so that I can be confident I am doing them correctly. Thanks for any help you can provide, —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 03:09, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PlanetJuice I've set up your programme which can be found at User:Joseywales1961/NPP School/PlanetJuice, please note I'm on Irish Summer Time (UTC+1 at the moment) but we don't have to be online together - I should get to reply to any query you may have within 24 hours. Good luck with the training! Josey Wales^Parley 08:04, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. As for time, I am in UTC-4. I will get started on the first task soon and continue from the school page. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 11:46, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Joseywales1961,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Dr Jaan Nissar Lone & Jaan Nissar Lone

Hello Joseywales1961 -- I understand your concerns about this article, but looking at Jaan Nissar Lone it was repeatedly created in 2019, so there is a real possibility that notability has been achieved in the ensuing years, especially as several of the awards post-date that time. I think an AfD will be needed to clear this one up, one way or the other. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:03, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Espresso Addict, I mentioned to the admin that had protected the page the other day - I just saw that page on NPP and as I don't usually review music artists I was just going to page move to remove the honorifics from the title and move on. I have no problems with the article being kept if anyone thinks notability has been achieved since 2019, however, I notice another editor has started an SPI on the creator linked to the previous creations so I think it's best to wait for that to close in case it results in a mass deletion. Best wishes Josey Wales^Parley 10:59, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up about the investigation. I'll steer well clear! Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:25, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1986-87 Norwich City F.C. season

I understand the problem of there being a broken reference on the page but I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. The problem is that the page being transcluded from has a reference on it that is sourced elsewhere on that page. I even looked at another page that must have had to deal with the same problem, but I couldn't see how I was doing anything differently. If you have any idea how to fix it, please let me know! Skteosk (talk) 20:49, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skteosk I had a look this at as you say it looks the transclusion that is causing this error, I'll remove the ref altogther if I can, maybe if you want just add a note that English clubs were banned from UEFA competitions that season. Best wishes Josey Wales^Parley 21:13, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I just about managed to add a note but I'm afraid it's a bit clumsy. I'm wondering if it might be better to just mention the ban in the overview so the reason for the notes is obvious. Skteosk (talk) 21:47, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skteosk I'd say that makes sense and would be perfect! Josey Wales^Parley 21:50, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and done! Skteosk (talk) 22:13, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Arch of Charents sources

Hi Joseywales1961. You edited my Arch of Charents page and you removed 4 of my sources. Although I agree with you on most of them, I have to mention that I used those sources because there aren't many websites that have reliable information on Arch of Charents and most of them are travel websites. I have to mention that the use of the YouTube video " Ռաֆայել Իսրայելյան" was used in the Western Armenian version of the website and is the only reason why I used it. Unless you again say that it's unreliable, I am going to add it, but thank you for suggesting improvements on my page. Spino-Soar-Us (talk) 09:12, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spino-Soar-Us, I think you need to re-look at the page history - the only thing I added to your page was the template re some of the sources being unreliable - the next edit after mine I think removed the sources. Best wishes Josey Wales^Parley 09:40, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joseywales1961. I am sorry for the mishap and that I disturbed you. Again, thank you for suggesting improvements on the Arch of Charents page Spino-Soar-Us (talk) 12:11, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SOS - The San Onofre Syndrome film Page Deletion

Hi Joseywales1961, thank you so much for adding your comment explaining your deletion. Please help me as I am pretty new to creating pages. I made an effort to give the source for every sentence I wrote. I copied the Synopsis of the film from its website and I got a Deletion warning about Notability etc, is copying a published synopsis not allowed? Then I thought you wanted more reliable sources so I copied one paragraph from two different publications to show diverse opinions on the film's content thinking that would be interesting to Wikipedia. Could you please help me on how to proceed. It is an important film on an important issue that was just release and got a top award at a L.A. festival just as it was released. Many thanks! KnowledgeDew (talk) 15:25, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi KnowledgeDew, thank you for your contributions. My deletion request was for a copyright violation of this page, please read WP:COPYVIO and WP:CSD G12 regarding copyright. In almost all cases we cannot accept material word for word from another site. You can see the deletion details re the page here. Best wishes and happy editing Josey Wales^Parley 16:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Josey Wales. Understood. It is Ok then to paraphrase a sentence published somewhere and provide the source? And can I now recreate the page, being supercareful at not infringing copyright etc.? KnowledgeDew (talk) 21:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, once you don't parphrase too closely and make sure to add reliable references Josey Wales^Parley 23:02, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
