I am very overwhelmed

Being new here I don't even know where to start. My health is better so I decided to come back and see what I could do to help everyone! I am not sure even where to start and I am so afraid of messing up that it overwhelms me! OhioGirl42986 (talk) 17:27, 10 April 2022 (UTC)OhioGirl42986

Hi, @OhioGirl42986! Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been quite busy IRL. The best place to start is to just read articles that are of interest to you and see if you can improve them -- fix typos, for instance. If you see a [citation needed] tag, see if you can google to find a source for that information. The folks at WP:TeaHouse are very helpful for new users! valereee (talk) 14:17, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

  1. New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
  2. Christmas Island AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
  3. Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
  4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
  5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
  6. United States Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
  7. England Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Your draft article, Draft:Andrea Drummer

Hello, Valereee. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Andrea Drummer".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Help with COI request

Hi Valereee. I noticed your involvement in WikiProject:Food and drink and hope that you will agree to help me out with my pending edit request on Steve Salis's article. As part of this edit request, I suggest revised language and content to advance the article's clarity, balance, and neutrality. I value your input and appreciate your assistance. Thank you Sheena 2022 (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey, @Sheena 2022! I'm not actually sure the guy's notable. Pretty much all the sources are from the local area, which never is a good thing, and most look like simple basic business coverage typical of any business owner. valereee (talk) 18:23, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Valereee, I appreciate you taking the time to review my request. I'd like to clarify both of the tags you've put on the page and the discussion you've opened on the article's talk page. For notability - I'm confused by your reservations. This Wiki discussion suggests that significant coverage in local sources can establish notability for all subjects except companies. The Steve Salis article includes national sources, like National Restaurant News, where appropriate. The paid contributions tag is similarly puzzling as I'm a declared COI editor following all of Wiki's policies; all the content added has been vetted by veteran, unaffiliated editors. Thanks again Sheena 2022 (talk) 14:27, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
@Sheena 2022, sorry, I'm not sure what in that long discussion you're referring to. It's four years old, so probably finding information in actual policy rather than in discussion is better. Declared paid is still paid, and it concerns me that other paid editors are also involved and that some of them may not have declared themselves and that clearly Mr. Salis paid to have an article created about him and is still paying people to make sure it says exactly what he wants it to say.
FWIW, the best advice you can give your boss is that Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. And paying people to write about you unfortunately will absolutely attract hostile attention from other editors, which means that things he doesn't want in that article could end up in it even if they wouldn't have in the normal course of things. This isn't linkedin. Article subjects have ZERO control over the article about them. valereee (talk) 14:43, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ou Cuisine has been accepted

Ou Cuisine, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello Valereee,

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 804 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 852 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.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

I am not following you around. I check AfD a lot and I guess you nominated more than one article that caught my interest. My participation in AfD discussions has nothing to do with who nominated them. I see you deleted this question, so were obviously borderline about asking, but I think it's a fair question to ask, I've been asked before when I also found myself commenting on more than one AfD by the same author and it prompted me to adjust my user page to clarify that I take an interest in AfD.

Obviously we've disagreed twice today, please please know I am engaging on the topic, not the person and I respect the reasonable points you've made. All the best. CT55555 (talk) 22:28, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi, Valereee,

Sorry to lose your admin talents for a while but glad this isn't a permanent departure. Enjoy doing editor stuff! Liz Read! Talk! 18:08, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Liz! I'd been thinking about maybe taking a 2-3 month break for a variety of reasons, and when I found myself not editing much for several weeks thought maybe taking that break now would help me get back to work. Only three weeks in I'm already discovering things I find interesting. valereee (talk) 18:23, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
I took a three month break from my admin tools in 2019 in protest over FRAMBAN. Came back with a focus on content creation and enjoying Wikipedia quite a lot more than before. Hope your break works out well for you! —Kusma (talk) 08:38, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Got 'em! I'll take a look! valereee (talk) 13:12, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
@Justanothersgwikieditor, so here's my feeling.
The "You can disagree with us" article in The Straits isn't about Shoukouwa. It's about the vagaries and controversies of Michelin assessments, including among other oddnesses the fact Shoukouwa got 2 stars in the inaugural SG Guide within weeks of being opened. The restaurant itself is barely mentioned in the article. I would not count this toward notability.
"Sushi worth its stars" in The Straits is a lengthy review of the restaurant. I understand that SG media is trickier to assess because it's all "national" media and, as you've pointed out, there's a history of gastronationalism among it and its neighbors so we might not be able to expect the same kind of coverage that, say, a notable Chicago restaurant might get in the NYT or LATimes. Still, a truly notable sushi restaurant ought to at least get mentioned in press somewhere else. But I'll accept it as one.
The "Life Food & Drink" article (also in The Straits) is barely more than a directory listing. On top of that, I generally am reluctant to use for assessments of notability for restaurants anything that comes from the same source, no matter how reliable. These are all from the same source and in the same year. And this directory-ish piece is only a few weeks after the review. Definitely I would not count this one toward notability. valereee (talk) 13:35, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

This week's article for improvement (week 23, 2022)

Squash is a racket and ball sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. The players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. The objective of the game is to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return.

Semenenko

Thank you for your interest in the violinist. You added to a closed discussion, the DYK nomination, and I don't know where to answer. You say "your hook" but - please read the discussion - that was not "my" hook, - my hook spoke of music (which I heard, pictured on my talk). Others changed it, and the prep builder made a completely different thing of it, and then changed again. My hook said he was from Odessa and is teaching at Folkwang (which is in Essen, Germany, for those who don't recognise the name). I thought that told about his two nationalities background better than some "Ukrainian-German". I am not into diplomatic finesse, sorry, and I believe that even having a German passport would not have prevented him being held as the holder of a Ukrainian passport at an age able to defend. Please see the video which was taken while he was held, title translating to "From the stage into war". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I realized I'd added to a closed discussion after I added it! :D valereee (talk) 15:09, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
No problem. I returned from an outing, fresh air was good. I thought about why I am so unhappy with the Semenenko hook, and arrived at - short version - that I experienced him playing the music by Ukrainian composers as the voice of Ukraine that will not be silenced, and none of that shows in a hooks saying only that due to him forgetting something he was in a situation beyond his control. Just for you to understand. - Completely different topic: I think I told you about WP:ITNN, under-staffed especially on weekend. Would you be willing to watch it? Right now, I have a "recent death" there, entered 1 June, marked ready today, - that's not "recent" any more, and is still not on the Main page. (+ I have a second, and will enter a third today ...) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:20, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt, I understand. I think DYK is frustrating for you because you want to highlight a musician's work, and that's not really what DYK is for.
I can't do much at ITN right now as I've set down tools for a bit. valereee (talk) 18:51, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
I see, - silly me, I think I even noticed that but forgot. - What is DYK for? May be I misunderstand. I keep trying to say something about a person (musician or other) pointing out how the person makes a difference (vs. what happens to the person.) See? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:58, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt well, for me the article is for covering the important stuff about the subject. DYK is for mentioning something interesting about the subject so that others will go read the article and possibly improve it. The more people we can get to a new article, the more likely it is one of them will try to improve it. That's the reason I nom pretty much everything I nom.
It's kind of like the cover of a book, which has one job: gets you to pick it up and read the copy on the back. The copy on the back has one job: get you to read the first page. The first page has one job: get you to buy the book.
DYK has one job: get people to the article. So every DYK hook should be created with that in mind. Once they're at the article, they'll see all the important stuff about the subject. But if we don't get them to the article? No one will see it. valereee (talk) 19:05, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
That's a good theory. But 1: millions click the Main page each day, but only some four-digit number will turn to the article. For the others, the hook will remain all they'll ever read about the subject. But 2: a "cover" telling me that a forgetful person was kept where he didn't want to be would not get me into wanting to find out more. - So I'll keep trying to put as much positive information as possible in each hook, facing to be turned down again and again. My first barnstar was for resilience ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey, no reason we can't have different goals! I just was explaining why I thought you often felt frustration there. -- because your goal is somewhat different than many other workers at DYK. valereee (talk) 20:04, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Fine, - I may call you next time when I feel not understood. - Great music coming up for me the next two days, first one singing myself, next two brother playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:23, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
June songs

Ukrainian peace music is "on" today, with the conductor! I use that hook with more enthusiasm than the passive "stranded" for the violinist. - Pentecost (on last Sunday and Monday in Germany) brought a rich harvest of great music in two church services (one with me singing in choir) and two concerts with my brother in the orchestra, - four pictures I took besides the symphonic one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
