Fontana, California

Thanks for trimming the promos at Fontana, California. I've been removing promotional cruft from articles for a while, and occasionally have pushback like this. I'd like to take this whole "promo and rankings in US city articles" to an RfC like the Canadians did. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:42, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is this company likely to pass WP:NCORP? If yes, I'd remove the old tags. If not, I'd send it to WP:AfD. Please ping me either way. Bearian (talk) 00:16, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or "professional golfer" when appropriate. In some contexts, any such descriptor is unnecessary and can simply be removed. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 21:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw you took a shot at the updates I made about Telestream company The updates are based on actual facts which is described in the factsheet of the company. All users of Wikipedia have the right to know actual data i.e. the story of company, number of employees, revenue, so that they decide whether to join it as employee or buy its products or make career decisions. All MNC's already show such information. write to me in my talk page if you have any concerns on any paragraph. I have removed some of them for you. Please let it be there.

Hi – you added an advertising flag to the AImotive page back in 2019. I've just done a major edit. It would be great if you could check the page sometime, and flag anything else that needs to be changed in your opinion to remove the promotional tag.

Hi Mean as a custard, I appreciate your contribution on the LoopUp article however your edits took out the main offering that the company now offers - Direct routing for Microsoft Teams. If you checked the website and newsroom you would see that the content on the page was at least up to date. If you are not going to let me update the content as you find it too promotional can you at least make sure that what your edits don't make the article completely outdated and irrelevant!?

Hello, Mean as custard,

Please make sure when you do a big revert to an earlier version of an article, that there haven't been valid changes made since that earlier version was done. In this case, categories had been altered to correct ones and your revert put back nonexistent, red link categories. If, in the future, you could just look over the page and fix any problems like this that appear before moving on to the next article, it would be appreciated. Thank you! Liz ^{Read!

You didn't like the tone of Krea University and therefore erased, essentially, all of it. If you don't like some of the content, please be judicious and just erase what you find objectionable.

Hey would you mind looking at Madras Christian College. I tried cleaning up the article but it still contains a lot of unsourced material. I am not sure if it’s all right to remove all unsourced material as it might degrade the quality of the article. Thanks defcon5 (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Castronovo Chocolate

Thank you for trimming Castronovo Chocolate. The references were from bogus anduntrustworthy sources such as New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Zagat. Pat yourself on the back. You should feel proud of yourself. Another editor noted after you that no sources exist... well, of course they don't after your good work. The only disappointment is you didn't delete the whole article.

The problem was one of promotional tone, not of sources. . .Mean as custard (talk) 07:07, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Promo cuts to Alpha Sigma Tau

Good afternoon, Mean.

I'm generally onboard with reduction of promotional material in articles, and cruft (great word for it). My areas of editing work focus on the Fraternities and Sororities Project, and various collegiate articles. Lots of cruft to work with there. But also woeful stubs that need expansion.

Regarding the very sharp scythe you took to the Alpha Sigma Tau article, I think you cut too much. While toss-off sentences like "Alpha Sigma Tau provides women with the skills, community, and empowerment needed to excel in life." are clearly "yada-yada" filler, and add no encyclopedic value, I thought the sections listing values and traditions were OK, as was inclusion of their Creed. While all such groups have a creed, citing it here is useful for non-members to understand the sorority's brand and its differentiation. --Not just for branding in a promotional sense. I would make a clear distinction between the two (promotion versus clarification). Stated a different way, I don't have a problem with company articles that note their mission statement or animating values: Inclusion helps their people focus, and helps outsiders hold them accountable because of the clarity these words provide.

I assume you deleted the symbols section because some of the items were duplicated in the infobox. My sense of other F&S articles is that the infobox summarizes and that a symbols and traditions section is allowable, and may have a sentence or two of dialog and supporting references. At least that is how hundreds and hundreds of other articles have it.

Further, I find the listing and short descriptions of programs for health and safety issues, which you cut, to be valuable, especially in differentiating this program benefit among other women's groups. These aren't just marketing screed; rather, these items are important to participants and their parents. (Speaking as an outside observer, sorority women tend to have a higher skew awareness and responsiveness to these points. I note this even though these items aren't personally important to me. I hope I'm clear.)

For sure, the sections blathering on about "Lifelong friendships", "Vast network", "Giving back", clearly are more cruft, and I support those deletions, too.

Have you considered a similar effort on the several very long, disjointed, promotional and nattering articles for the traditionally Black Greek Letter Organizations? Some of these have endless detail, going on for a hundred or more paragraphs. To be fair, there is far more promotional language in these, with kludgy language, grammar issues, often a non-encyclopedic tone, non-notable "notable members", lack of references, and themes that are severely over-weighted. The same criticism can be made of articles about the Ivy League schools, which drone on for paragraphs about insufferable details of their annual rankings and further detail about minor departments and initiatives. Gaaah. These are far more troubling to me.

I really appreciate your work. We may have a slight difference of opinion on this issue. I remain an Inclusionist rather than a Deletionist, to bring up the long-standing Wikipedia debate. I fully endorse the effort to cut non-encyclopedic junk and clearly biased, promotional material, but I do recognize that we do not have the same space limitations as a physical encyclopedia. Fair? Would you give my view here a review before I go back to the article and restore a couple of these items?

You call yourself Mean, but I think you are just thorough. You are an important contributor to Wikipedia. For that, and a few moments of attention to this note, I thank you.

Yukari Films

You recently placed an Advert template onto this page, however, you did not provide any feedback or reason why. It is not written in a promotional tone. The subject meets the wiki guidelines and has both industry impact, as well as positive peer reviews - which are all documented with reliable citations. Additionally, you placed a Verifiability template on the page also, which makes no sense as none of the citations are close to the source whatsoever. I would appreciate an explanation of these actions so that the article can be improved upon, or ask to please remove the complaints.45.170.104.254 (talk) 08:15, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If the article referred to is Yulari Films, only the Advert template was mine, but I agree with whoever added the other two templates. The article consists mainly of unreferenced positive reviews and lists of alleged awards, and overall the tone is highly promotional. . . Mean as custard (talk) 11:03, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance

Hello -- you keep flagging my edits as being promotional, but they are clearly written in objective prose. It would be nice to have your assistance in identifying what about my edits on Native Design in particular is having you flag the content. I will happily change so it can remain up. Thank you!

Native Design: "awarded for developing innovative products", "now offers a full-service innovation practice", "a completely cohesive user experience", "a range of world-firsts", "made with sustainability and a circular economy in mind". - all highly promotional. You clearly have a conflict of interest with the subject despite (or due to) removing the advert tag from the article header. . . Mean as custard (talk) 17:02, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

Hello Mean as custard,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

I noticed you did a big revert to an earlier version of the OSF Digital article, after I had made valid changes reflecting the current status of the company.

Mission, vision deletions

Hi Mean as custard. I note a couple of mission statement deletions, etc., you recently provided. I've seen your solid editing before, and know these were offered in good faith. I would challenge them though, as these points are factual and do not generally tend to excessive puffery or bloat. That said, I would firmly agree with you that some of these Greek Letter Organization pages indeed do have such peacock language. I too, police such body text often. I also cut sections of really long mission statements for the purpose of summary statements.

We ought not be haphazard in these. If you want to argue that omitting mission statements, vision, pillars, etc., should merit a change to our standard infobox template (and these, from the body text that generally informs the infoboxes), fine. Take it up as a discussion point on the template Talk page. Let's determine consensus first.

I've got a long list of pending edit work, but if this issue is a focus of your concern, maybe take a look at the websites for the Divine nine, many of which have lengthy, bloated text which detracts from the value of a more tightly written summary article. Or look at some of the 'captive' honor societies that are merely profit-making front groups. These are rife with peacock language. Fair? Jax MN (talk) 17:19, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

Hello Mean as custard,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 803 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 851 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Removal or company URLs in Infoblox and "External links" from companies

I noticed that you have been removing company URLs from infoblox and the "External links" section from company related pages and I was just wondering if there was a particular policy against including that information? I would also like to mention that a number of your recent edits have left off the edit summary which makes it harder for other editors to see what is going on. Gusfriend (talk) 14:27, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was just coming to ask the same after your removal on Terracotta, Inc.. I don't think this is necessary or policy based when it's the official URL. Can you clarify? Thanks! Star Mississippi 15:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I often find in articles containing promotional content that the company url is in the heading infobox as well as at the bottom of the page, and this seems excessive. Occasionally I remove it from the infobox as well where it appears to me to be part of the company's advertising strategy on Wikipedia. . .Mean as custard (talk) 18:06, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is explicitly a field for it in the infobox, so I don't think your editing is in line with current practice. Please keep culling the spamvertorial content as you are doing, but I think the URLs are fine since I believe they're all WP:NOFOLLOW Star Mississippi 18:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For the "External links" section I agree that there is often too many links but would suggest that having the company URL there via the template {{Official URL}} would be reasonable even if the other links were removed.Gusfriend (talk) 01:17, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

Hello Mean as custard,

Backlog status

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000^[a] at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.^[b]

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

Backlog drive

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.

TIP – New school articles

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

Misc

There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13379 articles, as of 00:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Reminders

Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

Hello Mean as custard,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination: MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

Open letter to the WMF: The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

TIP - Reviewing by subject: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

New reviewers: The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.

Reminders

Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Content advice

Hello. You have recently removed the projects section from this page as an advert. How can I modify this list of projects that have used the Berkeley Open Infrastructure to be more inline with expectations and the receptacle of historical information that I want it to be? Al Piskun (talk) 10:10, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of listing every single project, you could include a few examples if they are written with non-promotional language and have independent references to show their notability. . .Mean as custard (talk) 17:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello Mean as custard,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Suggestions:

There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Mean as custard,

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Mean as custard,

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).

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Mean as custard,

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.

Libvirt Advert tag?

Hi User:Mean as custard, you added the {Advert} tag to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Libvirt&oldid=1091049546, but I don't understand why. Could you please review the page and reconsider the tag? Please explain your reasoning or remove the tag. Thanks. — HowardBGolden (talk) 19:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chalmers University of Technology: Advert tag

Dear User:Mean as custard,

I noticed you added the {Advert} tag to the Wikipedia page for Chalmers University of Technology. After reviewing the content, I made edits to remove sections that I felt were promotional material. Could you please take another look at the wiki page and share your thoughts? Note that I have already removed the Advert Tag. Thank you for your consideration. Undercover scientist (talk) 13:35, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All sorted. I notice that you have made multiple edits to this page and none to any other Wikipedia articles. Could it be that you gave a confict of interest?. . .Mean as custard (talk) 14:15, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your revision. I have a background as a student at Chalmers University of Technology. Should this be considered a potential conflict of interest, I am willing to refrain from further edits on this page. Undercover scientist (talk) 19:11, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CBM (Charity)

HiUser:Mean as custard, thank you for your input. I tried to remove promotional sections from the previous version. Can you have a look again? I think there is much information that is important and not promotional, so I try to identify the promotional sections. Can you let me know, if you think any more sections are problematic?

You just reinstated the previous version, promotional material and all. . . Mean as custard (talk) 11:08, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Mean as custard, this is not true. You can see from the number of characters that the text has been shortened by 10% - about 1000 characters less, so I did not "just reinstate it". In my opinion, these were promotional passages. Can you please be more specific in your feedback? That's not very constructive this way, sorry to say. I also compared the article with other NGOs, it's mostly exactly the same sections. 09:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few of the promotional phrases: "create a world where every person has equal opportunities and can live free from disease and poverty", "draws on its Christian values and over 100 years of professional expertise", "to realise its vision and fulfil its mission", "dedicated to improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities in the world's poorest communities", "strives to make a significant and sustainable impact on the lives of persons with disabilities, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable world for all", "reflects its commitment". . .Mean as custard (talk) 12:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is describing the mandate and mission of a nonprofit organization promotional? After all, they have legal relevance and determine how an NGO MUST use its donations. Just some examples from other aproved wiki pages of other NGOs:

Amnesty International: 'The stated mission of the organisation is to campaign for "a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights"'
UNICEF: 'UNICEF's programs emphasize developing community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children.'
WWF: 'WWF revised its mission statement to: Stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature (...)'

Every aid organisation works in accordance with its statutes, which is why its official mandate is not simply advertising – it is a legally binding framework. And as you can see, it is quite common on the Wikipedia pages of NGOs to describe their mandate and it is very relevant to the public. So why set such double standards in this case?

In addition, >90% of the content is a description of the historical foundation and prehistory. Wouldn't it be much more expedient to edit individual sentences or passages instead of simply rejecting everything across the board? 2003:DF:6F1A:3000:B183:B128:A730:33 (talk) 14:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I do not understand how the part you deleted is promotional. It just talks about the travel. Youprayteas ^talk^/^contribs 17:23, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I appreciate your edits to remove promotional material. I wanted to reach out, as I've noticed you have been removing the "external links" section from articles.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Mean as custard,

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:

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

Reversion of edit on Blount Island Command

Hi there! Blount Island Command needs a lot of help. Why did you revert my edit? A quick glance at my contribution history shows I'm not a vandal. I showed up at the Blount Island page to provide coordinates and also did some copy editing because it's so promotional and so poorly written I can't even tell what it's about. Is it a Marine Corps unit? It's too promotional for the military... Is it a private contractor trying to pass themselves off as a military unit? It's just too promotional to stand as it is. May I redo the copy editing? It does not at all meet Wikipedia's standards for quality... Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 15:39, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to edit it, but don't reinstate promotional material like "proud of our relationship with Marine warfighters" and "operationally invaluable in supporting our nation’s interests". . .Mean as custard (talk) 17:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KNIME

Dear @Mean as custard,

Thank you very much for your input. I recognize that you are a highly experienced user, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to improve the KNIME Wikipedia entry in a way that avoids being flagged as promotional content.

For now, I have reverted your edit because I’m hoping to receive a detailed edit summary from you.

To give you some context, KNIME is a software company whose main product, KNIME Analytics Platform, has changed and evolved greatly over the past 10 years. The Wikipedia page had not been updated in many years, resulting in outdated and sometimes inaccurate information. This is why the edit was so extensive and resulted in a significant increase in the number of bytes (which probably caught your attention).

For example, the version you reinstated contained information about courses, but the offerings have changed dramatically, with KNIME reshaping its course curriculum. Therefore, wouldn’t it be better to have the most updated information? Or should information on courses not be included altogether?

Additionally, I understand from reading these Identifying blatant adversting guidelines that discussing a company’s mission carries a high risk of being flagged as promotional. However, my intention was to discuss the design principles of the platform from a technical perspective. This section was inspired by the Python entry and cites an academic paper, focusing on computer science concepts rather than the company's mission.

I appreciate your guidance on how to better present this information. Bassanelli (talk) 14:13, 3 July 2024 (UTC) comment added by Bassanelli (talk • contribs) 13:08, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have left it as it is for now, but it reads more like a software user manual than an encyclopedia article about the company. . .Mean as custard (talk) 18:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The style of content written there is fundamentally unencyclopedic, and reliant entirely on primary sources. I've re-reverted. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Pppery for your feedback.

I understand your concern on primary sources. I have therefore included the part about design principles since it references an external academic paper. This was inspired by "Design and Philosophy features" section in the wiki page for Python (programming language). Also, I updated the very outdated screenshot of the platform.

Any further feedback is welcomed Bassanelli (talk) 10:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Austere Systems

Hi @Mean as custard, too busy to prevent the deletion of the page Austere Systems which you recently deleted, i would have rather preferred to improve it and remove advertising materials/content on the page. I would request you please restore the page as a draft so i can work on it and improve it until it is ready to be published in the main space. Thank you Nuel Jr (talk) 13:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Mean as custard is not an admin so is not able to do that. As an admin, I would decline - the text there is fundamentally unsalvageable (from the very first sentence: Austere Systems Pvt Ltd, is a software development company providing cutting edge IT services and solutions to startups and enterprises). This has nothing to do with you being busy, it has to do with whether you are trying to describe the country from a neutral perspective or whether you are trying to advertise it to its customers which Wikipedia is not a venue for. You were clearly doing the latter. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mean as custard, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Drako has your "reads like a resume" tag from May 2024.

National Digital Library of India

Dear @Mean as custard,

I recently observed that there has been a significant edit to the National Digital Library of India's page. It might be more accurate to describe this as "vandalism" rather than an "edit." A substantial part of the article has been replaced with outdated information, and numerous inaccuracies have been introduced without proper citations. Readers seek the most current information, which is their right. The privilege to edit does not extend to distorting facts and figures. Please refrain from misusing the editing privileges granted to you. I have reported this matter to the Wikipedia administrators. Dr. Anirban Mukherjee (talk) 05:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have again reverted your edit as it contains unacceptably promotional and uncited content. Please tell me in what way you have notified the administrators, so I may justify my action to them if necessary. . .Mean as custard (talk) 16:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The changes to the article had no references and read like the school prospectus rather than an encyclopedia article: "has a rich history", "the pride of its students in their community’s achievements", "the school’s commitment to excellence", dedicated to promoting high academic achievement", "instills values such as loyalty, patriotism, and accountability, "mission is to close the achievement gap", "designed to equip students with the skills". . .Mean as custard (talk) 09:29, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reversal of edits to Tata Memorial Centre Wiki page

Hello. I had edited the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Memorial_Centre, which has a lot of old, incomplete and incorrect information, and added multiple factual updates, including the current logo of Tata Memorial (the logo on the page is an old one). I had removed incorrect or irrelevant information such as regarding the Konark Cancer Foundation or the Tata Clinic. However, all my edits have been undone and the page has been restored to the prior status. I can see some of these were done by you. Can you please help me in ensuring that the page remains accurate and uptodate? I am looking forward to working together on this. Ad baheti (talk) 16:31, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Factual edits are fine, but the material you added was over-promotional, e.g. "TMC has been the torchbearer for research in affordable and accessible cancer prevention and care.

Company websites/external links

Why are you removing links to company websites from "external links" sections, such as here, or recent edits here? You removing them is very disruptive when I want to quickly get to the website to get the company logo. I have to google the company site then & check it's the correct one, because you removed the links.

Such links are perfectly fine per WP:ELOFFICIAL. --TheImaCow (talk) 21:44, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I generally only remove external links from the bottom of the article if they already appear in the infobox at the top of the page and the article is intended to be promotional. . .Mean as custard (talk) 10:20, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at the first link, the company website was no longer linked anywhere, and at the second link, you broke the display of the {{Commons category}} template, which now renders at the bottom of the "References" section, where it dosen't belong.

I support removing promotional content, but a simple link to the main page of the official website, both in the infobox & external link section -especially if the "External" section already contains other links- is not promotional (Except maybe some rare special case)

See the wikipedia page linked above, specifically The official website should be included in infoboxes such as {{infobox company}}, and by convention are listed first in the ==External links== section. --TheImaCow (talk) 12:40, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
