Global pandemic!

On the off-chance one of my TPSes stuck around and is reading this: crikey, can’t say I ever saw this coming! I am going to be self-isolating as of this week (currently asymptomatic but I am considered somewhat “at risk”), so chances are there’ll be a surge in my contributions for a little while. It’s been a while since I edited here properly, so look forward greatly to returning, and maybe trying something new out, that’s a little different from AV work. We shall see. Patient Zerotalk 14:09, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Also chuckling just a little bit at the irony of my username within these circumstances... not that this is a laughing matter as such, just hoping the tables don’t turn and I literally become a Patient Zero or something. Patient Zerotalk 14:10, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
Patient Zero Hope you're keeping well mate! :) Class455 (talk|stand clear of the doors!) 16:33, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello there, Class455! Great to see you round here again. :) What are you doing these days? I’m in Aberystwyth studying Law, going into my final year this September but we’ve just closed owing to the COVID-19 situation, so all my exams will be online now!

On what planet is adding context and summary to a list not constructive? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.114.34 (talk) 13:48, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Will respond at your TP, but in the interests of accountability, I noticed I made a mistake and have reverted accordingly. Patient Zerotalk 13:49, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for acknowledging and reverting! Wikipedia has become contentious enough that we make bad assumptions :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.232.203.249 (talk) 08:31, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

I didn't add it, I added notes explaining as such. It was the same text as was already there, I merely moved the section for Croatia from Africa to Europe... since Croatia is in Europe not Africa. Not sure why I would need a source for that. 68.227.175.152 (talk)

Will respond at your TP, as to the best of my knowledge IPs can't be pinged. Patient Zerotalk 20:43, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
ok. But you reversion just added Croatia back to Africa, which isn't the continent it's in.... so you might want to re-think that. 68.227.175.152 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Edit request

Hello,

I'm new here. I would like to make some changes to a page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_MAG ) But I lack the knowledge to edit the source code.

Could you add the info for me ?

I would like to add Portugal to the user's list, and one or more photos (as examples)

The FN MAF equip some versions of the APC Pandur 8x8 (30mm ICV, Command Post and Mechanical Evacuation Vehicle) Portuguese army official webpage https://assets.exercito.pt/SiteAssets/DMT/VBR%20Pandur%20II%208x8/VBR%20Pandur%20II%208x8-galeria_ICV-05.jpg https://assets.exercito.pt/SiteAssets/DMT/VBR%20Pandur%20II%208x8/VBR%20Pandur%20II%208x8-galeria_IFV-03.png

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi Patient Zero, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Patient Zero,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources
  • A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
  • Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
  • A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
  • Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Paula Danziger Page Edit

You removed my edit on her page. She has a book entitled The United Tates of America, NOT the incorrect title listed on her page as The United States of America. A very simple search will prove that my edit was correct and is constructive to her page, since it has a title of one of her books wrong. Please consider keeping my edit. Thanks.

Honestly, I thought this was some subtle attempt at vandalism. I was wrong. Just goes to show you don’t always get the full picture when you are supposedly doing “counter vandalism” work on subjects you know very little about. I apologise, and have reverted myself. Best, Patient Zerotalk 00:21, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Exciting times ahead

I’ve just applied for a Master of Sciences degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. 14-year-old me would be rather surprised, I reckon - but I’m very much looking forward to next year (and the next two years after that, within which I plan to do my PhD) and everything it will bring. In the meantime, my focus here has definitely shifted more towards editing psychology-based articles. Perhaps I ought to update the user page. :) Patient Zerotalk 00:19, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

I'm not being ageist, but I do have my exiting times behind me. By the time I was 20 I had my Batchelor of Business Studies and I was travelling the world for my employer in the days when the closest most people in the UK got to an aeroplane was watching them from the perimeter fence at Elmdon Airport. I still had time to do two more post-grad degrees and a 30 year career in teaching teachers. What I'm saying is that with time comes not only what we can absorb for our education, but also a thing called experience. And now you know why AmandaNP is a bureaucrat, checkuser, oversight, sysop, ombuds, otrs-member, with 40516 edits since 2007, and what she said today at User talk:DoSazunielle is solid hard research of exactly the kind I used to do (without the aid of a CU tool) and why I see through a lot of 'new' editors while 'presuming' to AGF for the benefit of those who defend their actions. I have every respect for studies of Criminology and Criminal Justice, (as a linguist I worked on many cases of international crime) and I sincerely wish you success with your PhD and perhaps you could then apply what you know to becoming an admin, then an Arbcom member and turning that Committee into something more equitable. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:25, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Sounds like a plan. Thank you for the kind words and for reaching out, Kudpung. Patient Zerotalk 21:14, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Patient Zero,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Rank Username Num reviews Log

10 Utopes (talk) 3,958 Patrol Page Curation
Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

QAI

I tried to give 2021 a good start by updating the QAI project topics. Please check and correct, - did you know that - at four years - you belong to the project's "older" active members? For moar private "happy new year" see here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:37, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Will check that out, Gerda Arendt! I didn’t know that, either; I know I’m not around here often these days, but it’s made me rather happy that I’ve been part of something for that long. I certainly feel like I’m getting older too, what with the lockdown situation here! Hope all is well with you? Patient Zerotalk 01:52, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. My health is fine - different from when you joined - but a dear friend's isn't. She had surgery yesterday. That's all I'd say in a public place. If you check out the list of RD you see it beginning with a friend whose article I felt I had to write on the occasion, and his wife died last year. Their DYK was one of the funniest I made. - I need the list of psalms a lot - help from thousands of years ago ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:49, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
No worries Gerda - I’m glad you’re doing OK, though I am terribly sorry to hear of your friend and send my condolences regarding your friend’s wife. If you’re able to, please send them my well-wishes. Indeed, I believe it’s safe to say that support can come from quite literally anywhere - even if said support is from a historic source. Sometimes that’s what’s needed. :) Patient Zerotalk 19:07, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
  • When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
  • There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

Administrators' newsletter – April 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).

Administrator changes

removed AlexandriaHappyme22RexxS

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)
