Impact logo
So, I hate to say it, but I reverted your update of the Impact logo, because the version with the GFW initials was completely unreadable on a white background, as there is no outline on the white lettering. If you can find a version that has an outline, that would be fine. oknazevad (talk) 16:42, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Oknazevad: No worries. I was concerned about that when I uploaded it. I'll look for a better one. JTP (talk • contribs) 16:47, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
- Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.
Technology update:
- Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
- The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
- User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
- User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through

Response to speedy deletion request for Proposition 9
Hi JTP,
The content of Proposition 9 wiki pages comes of a government agency website, the Fair Political Practices Commission, for which I work. We are trying to update the wikipedia pages with information that pertains to our agency and its authority. We believe the content from our website is the appropriate content to be posted on wikipedia. I do not believe there is a copyright infringement since we are also a government agency and the content is not privately owned but part of the public sphere.
- @Fppcphil: Hi Phil, I am currently on the go; I'll explain the situation and some of our policies in about 45 minutes. JTP (talk • contribs) 22:32, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Fppcphil: Phil, welcome to Wikipedia! We are great community with the intent of making the Internet a better place. Thank you for joining us. If you read the message that was left on your talk page by WikiVirusC, they explained conflict of interest. Thank you for disclosing that here, but on the Wikipedia guideline called WP:DISCLOSE, you must disclose that on your user page, which can be found at User:Fppcphil. Also, thank you for adhering to our username policy, explaining that you are one person using the account and not implying shared use, which many business-related accounts often do. And, perhaps the most significant issue, thank you, thank you, for notifying me about your .gov website. This is clearly stated at WP:Public domain#U.S. Government works that .gov sites are in the public domain. I take full responsibility for this mistake, and thus award you with the Barnstar of Diligence, which is [moved to user's talk page). After looking into it more, state and local governments (which I believe you are apart of, correct?) do not release their work into public domain, unless in the states of California and Florida. Thank you for realizing my mistake. I hope I cleared things up; if you have anymore questions, feel free to respond here. Welcome to Wikipedia!

Rollback granted
Hi NotTheFakeJTP. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Anarchyte (work | talk) 02:22, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Josh Lewis wrestler page
Just trying to fix any issues on this page. I see lots of changes. In rewritten version
For example. Josh Lewis losing NWA tri state tv title to Rob Conway was left out in the new version Also I see placing removed from bodybuilding contest results that are verified and referenced. Examples Arnold classic placing and some contest that were referenced are all together removed
I've been reading the guidelines you marked I'm trying to fix. Can you fix any of these problems? I don't see what's not correct I don't see anything that is not referenced Don't see anything in the guideline that are not Correct NWATilteUpdates (talk) 13:42, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- @NWATilteUpdates: Hello,
Firstly, may I ask if you are affiliated with the NWA at all? If so, please declare that per WP:Conflict of interest. Also, my apologies for removing that title change; it must have gotten caught in my change of wording. Also, although I'm not sure of WP:WikiProject Bodybuilding guidelines, but it would make sense that only bodybuilding competition wins would be considered notable. Every competition does not need to be listed. I hope I assisted. If you have any further questions, please, do not hesitate to ask. In the meantime, however, do not remove the tags at the top of the page. The issues have not yet been addressed. Thank you. JTP (talk • contribs) 22:39, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
No. I don't have any affiliates with anybody. Just a fan of wrestling. I like stats, I did look at many others Wikipedia pages today as far as how other bodybuilders have there contest history. Looks like on most all contests placing are listed. Some have different cash prizes for 1st threw 6th place. That's prolly a big reason why they seem to be listed. But I'm more of a wrestling fan. But I know much about bodybuilding. Hope I was helpful NWATilteUpdates (talk) 21:06, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
WWE 2K18
what was happened with the crew? released and confirmed suddenly on xbox 360 as was announced for current gens only. Same could be happen with wwe 2k18. twitter id uses word 'OR'. not 'AND'. as microsoft ceased xbox 360 production but still supporting it, so it will be release on xbox 360. line should be 'Not yet expected to be released on Xbox 360 or PS3' instead of 'Not to be released on ps3 and xbox360' or 'not to be released'. contact me on my talk page named Broken Nutshell 111.119.176.82 (talk) 21:29, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, @Broken nutshell:. Firstly, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Secondly, I think I understand what you're trying to say. Your grammar is not 100%, but I'll do my best. Of course Microsoft is still supporting Xbox 360 games. Sony is doing the same thing with PS3. Otherwise, the devices would just be bricked. They announced the cease of production on April 20, 2016 (Xbox) and October 2016 (PS3). No more games are being produced for either system. The information is sourced that 2K is not releasing 2K18 on either system is sourced. Your claim that the game will be released on Xbox is unsourced. I hope I cleared things up. If you have any further questions, my talk page is open 24/7. JTP (talk • contribs) 18:43, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

John Saxon (wrestler)
Hey, thanks for getting in touch re: the proposed the deletion of this article. I must admit I did feel I neglected giving it my best effort when I finalised it. I'll get on to sourcing additional information for this ASAP and expanding on it. I'll let you know when finalised so you can review it if you have a moment.
All the best.
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:55, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Hell in a cell 2017
Hi JTP, first I need to tell you about 81.170.27.227 IP that page Hell in a cell 2017 edited as [1] which is edited inaccurately as it is not a current version of article as changed and corrections have done accurately now.
Second, I need your help here as I've noticed that you mostly made changes on WWE related articles to made them accurate. I want you to do watchlist every WWE related articles to see if there's any mistakes found out there or something found unsourced or poorly referenced and try to fix them. Thank you I'm available 24*7 here and I totally support and thank your proper and positive edits. Cheers. Broken nutshell (talk) 20:35, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
I really support your positive and proper edits you made especially for WWE related articles on Wikipedia so as per above message I need you to kindly respond these things. Thanks. Broken nutshell (talk) 20:38, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) @Broken nutshell: Firstly, the first edit was just vandalism. It happens all the time. It's nothing to fuss over. And secondly, perhaps you haven't noticed, but I've been here for nearly three years. I watch well over 100 wrestling-related pages. I check my watchlist at least 6-10 times/day. Thanks for the advice anyways. JTP (talk • contribs) 20:42, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Steve Millar for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Steve Millar is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Millar until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Allreet (talk) 23:35, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Allreet:
A. There is no active deletion discussion. You should probably create one.
B. Why am I being notified about this? I edited this back on New Year's Day when I removed an improperly formatted hatnote. It's not like I created it. JTP (talk • contribs) 23:58, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Very few registered editors have worked on this article, so there aren't many people I could notify. Meanwhile, the guidelines suggest contacting editors who might have an interest. Hence you were among the chosen. Meanwhile, I'm not sure how to create the discussion, but I'll find out and will. Thanks for the suggestion. Allreet (talk) 21:26, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Revert
You are the third editor so far to revert an edit I made regarding a redirect. I implore you to do more before you follow the bandwagon. Look into the reason why the edits were made, look at the user contributions and their edit in talk pages. This is part of the reason why I don't want to edit on Wikipedia anymore. It is such a mountain to climb sometimes because it's like some editors are following a script blindly. This is not meant to be a hostile message, it is to get you to look into my edits and why I made them. --Dara (talk) 17:25, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Dara: Firstly, I am not "following the bandwagon", but following policies. You can't just change a redirect into an article with one sentence and a navbox and call it okay. There are notability policies, and you did not follow those. SamHolt6 said it best: If you can't produce an in-depth article, the redirect should be left alone. And, if "following a script blindly" is what I just did, trying telling the tens of thousands of constructive editors that they are doing the same. JTP (talk • contribs) 19:03, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Dear Editors;
Greetings!
The only evidence that I have on my possession in support to the claim is the coronation that was held last November 30, 2016 and was posted on the website owned by me who is subject. There is also a portion of the website blogs/currents events wherein I self-published all the events as follows: • 1st Sultanate Summit on Peace and Security • Celebrating the 10th Founding Anniversary of Sultanate of Buayan Sa Buayan Darrussalam • Coronation of Dipatuan A Kanda that was held on November 30, 2016.
I have already edited my biography as brief as possible and to be neural and I am hoping that you will consider my Biography to be publish and the points mentioned above could consider also as self-publish resources. Your guidance to make it possible for your consideration to be publish is valued.
I apologize for any peacock terms used before. I am learning for my mistakes. I do believe that in due time we will provide notable and independent sources in the near future.
Your kindhearted consideration and warm-hearted approval is highly appreciated by the yours truly.
Best regards.
Yours Truly;

Instalment
Hi,
Just to let you know, "Instalment" is spelled with 1 L in UK English (diff). Adam9007 (talk) 16:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Adam9007: Well, you learn something new every day! And I thought I knew British English pretty well (I'm American). Thanks for the notice! JTP (talk • contribs) 16:22, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- You're not alone: it's a somewhat common occurrence for someone to "correct" 'instalment' to 'installment' on the Harry Potter articles. It's funny, because words like "travelled" and "cancelled" are spelled with 1 L in US English, but 2 in UK, which is bound to confuse the matter. Adam9007 (talk) 17:42, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Just wanted to leave my thanks for copyediting Wipeout HD. Yes, "instalment" with one 'l' still seems quite strange for me but I've learned to accept it for what it is! JAGUAR 17:49, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

21:22:24, 22 November 2017 review of submission by L weiwei yt
- L weiwei yt (talk · contribs)
I still don't really understand why my article was rejected (the 3rd time), I had taken advices from the previous 2 rejections and yet is till got rejected. Your main reason to decline my article was it 'was not suitable for a Wikipedia Article'. You also suggested that I have links with the game and that I relate to it.I don't know where you had got the idea of that from but I could assure you the only links with the game that I have, is that I play the game. You also said remove the excess information ; the two sub-sections of the articles.Is that the only thing I need to do?
In addition to this, I've checked out other article for games and the article for 'Clash of Clans' talks about the in game mechanisms. Listing the main stories (which in Clash of Clans's perspective could be the battles, as Episode is all about reading stories and Clash of Clans is all about battles between Clans), should just be like writing about the in game mechanisms.
Thanks a lot.
PS:I am getting a little bit upset because I had spent so much effort into researching and being rejected the third time ,is a bit 'painful' deep down.
- @L weiwei yt: I don't know where you got the idea that I said you had a conflict of interest. I never said anything like that. But I stand by my decision. Wikipedia is not a game guide. You don't need a plot summary that detailed. There is no reason for it. You also don't need App Store reviews and "A view of how expensive the game is". Those simply don't belong in an article. This needs a lot of cleanup before resubmission. JTP (talk • contribs) 22:46, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
- Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
Outreach and Invitations:
- If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with:
{{subst:NPR invite}}
. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.
New Year New Page Review Drive
- A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
- Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.
General project update:
- ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
- The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
- To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

Hello NotTheFakeJTP. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Frank S. Bissell, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: being inducted into the sport's Hall of Fame is a clear claim of significance. Thank you.

- That's fine, but most everything needs to be sourced. JTP (talk • contribs) 13:56, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- Umm..that's not even in the realm of a speedy? Actually, that isn't even a reason for deletion, let alone a speedy deletion criteria. Not sure why you nominated for speedy if you don't think it meets the criteria..also that one source supports most of the article. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:00, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- I never said that's why I nominated it for deletion. In hindsight, a PROD was probably a better choice, but that source is only used once. If it supports most of the article, then show that. JTP (talk • contribs) 14:04, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- It supports the "early life" and "coaching career" sections...this sources about everything I think. I'd recommend taking a look at WP:SIGNIFICANCE and WP:CCSI (how is "serving as an olympic alternate" not enough for the low bar of significance?) Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:10, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

RE: "Unnecessary Edit"
Can you elaborate how it is unnecessary? It is a key event in the feud and is worth noting, especially with the chance of a title change the night before the PPV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingOfTheRing (talk • contribs) 21:34, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- These happen all the time. Rivalry matches at house shows, especially for the title, are not uncommon in WWE. This is just another one of those moments. JTP (talk • contribs) 22:05, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
New Years new page backlog drive
Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!
We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!
The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
- The total number of reviews completed for the month.
- The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
