New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello MPGuy2824,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, MPGuy2824. Thank you for your work on Mexicans in Oklahoma. North8000, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

IMO this "intersection topic" is not wp:notable per se. (no GNG source coverage) Looks like a good paragraph of material for an article somewhere; suggest merging into another article.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|North8000}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Draft: List of siblings of presidents of the United States

I and JimmyCarterLover1 have finished a large chunk of this draft (I am aware that you know of said draft because you were responsible for converting the initial page into one). However, it would be suitable to have help from other editors considering the collaborative nature of Wikipedia. I also anticipate work on this draft stalling without the support of more people as one person cannot simply draft an entire article by themselves (and, not to discount the contributions of JimmyCarterLover1, I feel as if this draft has turned into my personal project because I have been responsible for so much of it). In short: help is needed, and I encourage you to help us with this. ApplePieGuy95 (talk) 00:10, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

The subject of this list isn't a particular interest of mine, but looking at the draft, I'd suggest the following:
  1. Write up a two-three sentence lead paragraph for the list. Find and add enough references that talk about the list as a whole and not just individual people in the list. Read and make sure that the list meets WP:NLIST. Do this before improving other aspects of the draft.
  2. Merge the individual tables for each president into one large table.
  3. Many of the entries in the "Notes" cell can be made into notes that will be shown at the end of the list. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:59, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello there! How do I publish edits to an ECP page on behalf of the concerned person? (Craig Mokhiber) Thank you. --ViennaMoka (talk) 09:54, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

@ViennaMoka: I assume you mean that someone has asked you to do a few changes to an edit-confirmed protected page. The problem is that you haven't got that right (yet). You can use Template:Edit extended-protected to post a message to the talk page of the relevant article. Hope this helps. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:11, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

@Bettertv5: you should visit Wikipedia:Articles for creation which explains a lot about the process of starting a new article. I see that you've started an article in your sandbox. I've watchlisted it to see what improvements you make. I suggest that you start with finding reliable, independent sources that talk about the tv station in depth.

You recently created this article and included the {{taxonbar}} template. However, you didn't provide it with a "from" parameter. If the "from" parameter is not present, the template attempts to look up the appropriate QID using the article's title. If there is no match, then it fails and the taxonbar isn't displayed, like in this case. The Wikidata item is named with the scientific name, which is not how the article is titled. So, the from field is required to make it work. (Frankly, you should always use the "from" fields, even if the bar finds the right item, as it helps prevent disconnects.) Anyway, just thought I'd share that bit of knowledge for your future endeavors. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi

Is there any Indian admin on EnWiki? My question is because it would be helpful to explain any India-related matters to him and get good replies, as an Indian would better understand Indian-related issues. I am not saying that other admins don’t understand, but it would be better. GrabUp - Talk 10:46, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

I checked a few people who are active on the India noticeboard who I thought were admins. Sadly, they aren't (yet). Let me research and get back to you. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I think DreamRrimmer is Indian! If so, he would be the first Indian admin. 🫡| GrabUp - Talk 11:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Titodutta became an admin in 2015, and there may be others. But more competent admins (of any region) is a good thing. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Sure, Thanks for the information. GrabUp - Talk 11:09, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Admins Vanamonde93 and Tinucherian are also in Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Members. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:11, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
I am looking for an Indian admin because I tagged other admins, but they didn’t respond. I am unable to give the user sufficient reasons for this on Wikipedia nor I found sufficient reason. I mentioned Dutta there. GrabUp - Talk 11:15, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
I don't think this requires an admin (even an Indian one). You can just list it at Wikipedia:Third opinion. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
There is no disagreement between us. I just want to know and share with the editor, from some more experienced editors like admins, the reason they didn’t count it as per the Government of India. Maybe there was some discussion. GrabUp - Talk 11:25, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi MPGuy2824, you reviewed Green Bay Packers draft picks (1936–1969) at WP:FLC a little while back. If you have the time and interest, I have its companion article at FLC too (Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Green Bay Packers draft picks (1970–present)/archive1). No pressure, just thought I would bring it to your attention if you are interested. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't think you have a problem here. The nom has 2 supports (+PresN's support since you've fixed the issues that he's pointed out). It also has a source review support.
