WP:AFC Backlog Drive

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!

WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done!

As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help!

Re:Speedy deletion of Devourment band members

Hey, no problem. A lot of people seem to hate me at the moment, and have decided that vandalising that article is the best way to tell me. I've semi-protected it for a week. J Milburn (talk) 08:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback request granted

For the public record, the request for this alternative to be flagged with rollback has been granted. As a reminder to the account holder, abuse of rollback (that is, usage of the tool outwith the boundaries of vandalism reversion) may result in all of your accounts being deflagged, and certainly this one. Use wisely! AGK (contact) 00:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Wow, I was just running through Anon ip's and I saw that you warned someone for vandalising my user page. Double yew tea eff I thought, no one has vandalised my user page, this madness, "I would know if someone vandalised my user page" I muttered in disbelief, but alas this is wikipedia!, where vandals vandalise user pages and people like you revert them real fast. As some sort of reward, I award you with an extremely exclusive, cookie. Its yours to keep :P--Kerotan ^{Leave Me a Message} Have a nice day :) 02:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

my RfA thanks

Oh snap, the DEA is an admin

I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which I'm very glad to say was successful at 81/7/0. Some of the very best that Wikipedia has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, I got you something great but I can't show you because it's fair-use only. Excuse me, I mean non-free. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 14:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

I just rolledback one of your changes, where you accidently changed "software" to "sofware". I used rollback because I thought you had introduced the mistake to other articles aswell, so a fast tool was the handiest. It seems that's not the case, and using rollback gives the wrong impression here. Sorry for the inconvenience. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 22:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And it seems I introduced an error in doing that. I fixed it though. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 23:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sailor Uranus links

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to make these links accurate. Don't worry about it too much, though, because making all of them would be a lot of work, and there's a specific guideline that says it's not really necessary to bypass the redirects. You can read about that at WP:REDIRECT#NOTBROKEN.

Anyway, thanks again for your contributions, and I'll see you around! --Masamage ♫ 00:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Your Message

Thank you for the reprimand. I actually vandalized the page becuase my previous vandalism of the Iowa class battleship article wasn't reverted within five minutes. I assumed that by vandalising a more visable article someone would notice the original vandalism and revert that too. Question: why haven't the bots caught this? They usually pick up on blatent vandalism alot faster. Have they gone down? 129.108.96.45 (talk) 02:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why would someone enter Monday Night Football on ABC, when looking for this when they can simply enter Monday Night Football. We do not have (or need) redirects like Naruto on Cartoon Network as a redirect to Naruto.

New Page Review - newsletter No.2

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives,

A HUGE backlog

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

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

General project update:

Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project.

Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!

Technology update:

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225

General project update:

On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

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.

My belated apologies

I just realized (when another Wikipedia editor answered a question of mine with a follow-up response) that I was extremely rude to you last month. I wanted to apologize. (This was the incident in question):

User:Diak4 opening RfC based on objection to "left-wing partisanship" in Alternative for Germany

Hey there. I just wanted to see if you would be willing to take part in an RFC that User:Diak4 has opened an RfC on the lede for Alternative for Germany [here that goes as follows: "I am concerned of the partisan nature of this sentence and it disrupting the neutrality of the page since it is making an allegation that many supporters of this party are racists, neo-nazi's, etc. I am even more particularly concerned with the sources being so biased against this party as well as being partisan, left-wing sites. I understand that this is not against WP:RS however it brings the opinion of these sites and states them as facts on the Alternative for Germany page." This is based on a previous discussion here:[4]. -- Wilner (Speak to me) 12:07, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Your edit and my warning

I am disappointed in your blatant assumption of bad faith editing on my part. Please retract the "warning" since it wasn't my intention to add any "libel" to the page. Sakura Cartelet^Talk 20:41, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also in case you missed it. I officially apologized to the anon here after I had realized my mistake in the revert and didn't revert any further. Sakura Cartelet^Talk 21:00, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how you expect me to 'retract the "warning"' as you have already removed it with a hostile edit summary. If the mistake isn't going to be repeated then there's nothing to worry about. If you already knew it was a mistake and have apologised then that's even better. Unfortunately you did add libel to a page on a living person, and I had to remove it, so that's what the warning was for. Never mind. I'm sure you'll be more careful in the future. --John (talk) 06:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing

Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled

While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News

The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. 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.

Editathons

There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English

A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Not sure why the question was deleted from the help desk; newish editors often post like that. Their request showed up on my watchlist and I just clicked on their contribs. directly from there to find the page and save time. I then saw your 'ping' from the other TP but when I got there, that had been deleted too! Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 20:06, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for digging up this link. This dispute has highlighted (as people at WP:AWNB are noting) that a lot of these articles could really do with stronger referencing - it'd be great if you could add that and anything else you dig up where appropriate. It's never been an area I've edited in, but after this I might have to dedicate a bit of time myself when I get the chance. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:59, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
