Roopa D Moudgil

Hi there, i have created a page Roopa D Moudgil and I am in contact with this person and this person has shared me the pictures via mail, so that i can upload them on this page. Moreover, same pictures, which this person shared with me, are already available on many news articles. If i upload these images on Wikipedia page and mark it as Ownwork. will these images be deleted? My one more question is since i have taken these images with the permission of D Roopa, where can i prove it under free work category? Because i want to share it under Free work and My own work

--Kiranmadhu.e (talk) 02:15, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Your note is very confusing. Who is the photographer? Is it you? If so, then why would the subject of the photo have shared them with you via email? You may want to ask you questions at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- Whpq (talk) 14:05, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

D Roopa IPS

D Roopa shared her photos to me to upload them on Wikipedia's page. But those images shared with me are already published on some news articles. If I upload them, I know that Wikipedia will delete them because of copyright issues. So, how can I prove Wikipedia that I got these images from D Roopa? --Kiranmadhu.e (talk) 16:34, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

D Roopa

Hi, My article D Roopa has been speedy deleted, it all happened soon after I moved the page from D Roopa Moudgil to D Roopa IPS. Fact is earlier somebody had created page with the name D Roopa IPS, which was deleted due to some reasons​, which I wasn't​ aware. So the page got deleted soon after I moved the page to D Roopa IPS.

I created new page yet again with the name D Roopa, even that has been deleted and is now it's in contest for deletion status. I request you to look at issues and rectify the problem. I have no idea why it has been deleted and what's going on
I made myself clear at the contested deletion page as to why it should not be deleted.--Kiranmadhu.e (talk) 03:37, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

I did not nominate the article for deletion. You will need to contact the nominator (User:Reddogsix) and the deleting admin (user:Anthony Appleyard) for an explanation. -- Whpq (talk) 12:34, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Please Help Me

Could you please make some articles about Teairra Marí, Brooke Valentine and Lyrica Anderson because I am really desperate to make articles about them but the Wikipedia admins protected the articles because there has been a series of sock puppetry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonsdebut8 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

I would like your opinion

You left a message on my talk page a long time ago . That is how I choose you for this. My user id is mcb133aco and when I am too lazy to login the IP is 184.97.245.52. On 20 Jan I made an edit to the USS Mifflin article as I thought it was written in a redundent manner. It was undone. I did not check for that at the time as I thought I may not have saved the edit(something I manage to do now and again). I redid the edit and had it undone. Now I checked. A user XPennsy22X had done that. I checked other edits I had done and XPennsy22X had undone one other with no stated reason. In addition, my user history prior to contact with XPennsy22X was deleted for the IP 184.97245.52. That was an administrative action and I believe Pennys22 is an administrator As to the other article undo, it was the article on the Seabees, specifically the paragraph on ANTARCTICA. I am a former Seabee that was in Antarctica and I happened to actually work on the Ice runway mentioned in the article. My edits made it read more correctly. I asked Pennsy22 why they returned the article to a state of less accuracy and why the redundacies in the USS Mifflin article? Which got me a SOCK PUPPIT complaint with Wikipedia. Now, a template has appeared at the top of the primary article I have worked on Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133. It is for a legitimate concern of Wikipedia- bare URLs for citations. However, when I went to the other article I had added a reference and link on, the same template was at the top of the page. (the 4th Marine Division) So I checked the history and guess who left them? They are legit in themselves. I corrected 4 or 5 of those citations first thing this morning. When I came back they were gone like it had never been done So, then I did them all and they remain. But, my ability to upload images to Wiki Commons has been restricted for both my user ID and the IP stated. When I click on the upload tab the entire box disappears. So - your thoughts please. I expect you know exactly what to do and how to do it. When that other user mentioned me on their page I received an email stating that my ID had been mentioned on that user's page. So, I added the Xs to the other ID to negate however that notificataion process works as I think that other user is vindictive. I would rather find out from you that I have misjudged than to find out from them. If you check the 133 article history for the IP 185 you will see the deleted user history goes back to Sept 2015. Sorry to bother you with this and thank you for your time. It says to sign with tides. I do not see anyone has used them on your page so if I get wrong sorry.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Whpq, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 14304 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 day.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Lauren Jauregui

I removed the image simply because I wanted another user to upload a better image with the caption is not detailed and needs to represent Jauregui in a better way. Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 05:27, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Another user an upload new image regardless of the p[presence of an existing image. Your edits a disruptive. -- Whpq (talk) 11:13, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

The image is pourly sourced and cited and the caption isn't necessary I'm asking for users to upload new different image or a better the image was better not this one and no harm is being done. I simply stated in my edit for another user to upload a better picture. Making changes that's not vandalism or being disruptive it's making changes. Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 23:22, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

You or anybody else can upload a new free image any time you find one that is better than the current image. But until you find such and image, there's no good reason to remove the one that is already there. -- Whpq (talk) 23:26, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm asking for someone to upload the image that's why I put it my comment section asking for others to do so. I'm fine with an image on her page just not that image. I just updated a response in my comment section about the picture. The image before was fine and then was changed to this one .. on other hand what's wrong with not having a picture? I find this image too small and the caption is too busy quote ("my opinion in general but also the image is poorly edited"). I'm not advanced in uploading images I'm giving it other user's chances to so because some have knowledge of how to so that's all. Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 23:32, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

I've shifted the conversation to Talk:Lauren Jauregui where other editors can more easily see and weigh in. -- Whpq (talk) 23:43, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

That's fine and in all respects I'll leave the image up for discussion and at bay for other users to debate and not alter having it being left alone. Although, do consider my suggestions as all users have opinions, ideas and says on different things about editing and all ideas are welcomed and used for free expression. Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 23:47, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

My apologies about asking a user with copyright violations problems I was unaware of the user's history I did took in advance to ask other users as well one's that have great citation and comment feedback in their talk page about edits on articles. The article Lauren Jauregui has an impactful support team something I'm really impressed in that's good other articles need that support system and some do not. Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 00:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm liking the image File:Lauren Jauregui performing.jpg anyone in favor? I recommend we use this image in replace. Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 00:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

You are asking me to "consider my suggestions as all users have opinions, ideas and says on different things about editing and all ideas are welcomed and used for free expression". I do consider other editor's opinions. In this particular case, your opinion was to remove an image from an article that had no other free images available. As best I can tell, the reason is because you didn't like the image. You them edit-warred to remove the image. I consider that opinion to be completely contrary to the improvement of the encyclopedia, and not supported by any policy or for that matter, even common sense. -- Whpq (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Semblance Play

Is it possible for you to create the Article about Semblance Play? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Semblanceplay (talk • contribs)

(talk page stalker) I couldn't find any reliable independent sources discussing Semblance Play. Without such sources Wikipedia cannot have an article on that topic. Huon (talk) 18:32, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

File PROD

Hello. I see that you made multiple nominations, including eleven at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2017 October 25. I appreciate your efforts. However, I wonder whether you realize that WP:PROD has extended to pages under file namespace for months per RfC discussion. You can use Twinkle to PROD a file or manually use {{subst:prod}} on any file. Thanks. --George Ho (talk) 06:47, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

User:EstadísticasDTGH‎

Those blankings look like WP:G7 candidates, not cause for reversion and warning. VQuakr (talk) 20:21, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

The MFD template explicitly states "You are welcome to edit this page, but please do not blank, merge, or move it, or remove this notice, while the discussion is in progress.", so I am simply going by that information. These instructions, and the info at G7 are a bit contradictory and I don't know what the usual practice is for this situation. If G7 is applicable, please feel free to undo my revert and tag it with a G7. -- Whpq (talk) 21:10, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
I might have considered forgoing the warning, restoring just the MfD notice, and nominating for CSD with a G7 rationale. That would meet the suggestions at both G7 and the "do not blank" instructions intended to prevent disruption of the deletion discussion. VQuakr (talk) 00:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Proposed speedy deletion of files I've uploaded

Why are you targetting me? This feels like a form of bullying. Beryl reid fan (talk) 14:15, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I am not targetting you. I regularly review recent file uploads and noticed that File:Actor John Glyn-Jones.jpg had been uploaded with an invalid fair use rationale. In particular, the image is an example of an unacceptable non-free image. Point 7 specifically identifies that one cannot use a "photo from a press agency or photo agency (e.g., AP, Corbis or Getty Images), unless the photo itself is the subject of sourced commentary in the article." The image was from Getty Images. As such, I nominated it for deletion under F7. With the number of actor images you've uploaded, it is natural to look further to see if there are other images which are problematic. You can help out by reviewing your own uploads, and tagging images that have been taken from photo agencies such as Getty, Corbis, etc. with G7. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 17:22, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

O.K., thank you, it's helpful to know the reason why. Beryl reid fan (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2017 (UTC) I wasn't aware of the rule re. agency photos. Beryl reid fan (talk) 20:42, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

WP:NFC has many many rules. It's worthwhile to give it a good read. Regards --Whpq (talk) 21:13, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

O.K. thanks. I hate rules, I must say... Beryl reid fan (talk) 21:18, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

You're destroying all my work! It's hard to believe that what you are doing is anything other than destructive, under cover of doing the right thing. Officious behaviour, acting like a sort of policeman. It's everything I hate about Wikipedia. Beryl reid fan (talk) 14:51, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I have already explained above that images from photo agencies are not compliant with Wikipedia's non-free content policy. All of the images I have tagged for deletion are from commercial photo agencies. It's unfortunate that you were not fully aware of all the details of the non-free content policy when you uploaded them, but that does not mean that oversight should not be corrected. -- Whpq (talk) 15:18, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

O.K., well there's nothing I can say, because you are right, technically. Beryl reid fan (talk) 18:29, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I want to apologise. I think I must have been feeling rather touchy when I reacted like that. Or rather, overreacted like that. Sometimes working on Wikipedia can put me into a strange space. I realise you are only doing your job. Beryl reid fan (talk) 23:58, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

No worries. Apology accepted. -- Whpq (talk) 12:40, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Whpq, 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.
  • 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 Whpq, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

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.

D Roopa Moudgil

Hi there, I want to create page with the name D Roopa Moudgil. The thing is this page was created by somebody in July 2016, but this was deleted soon after the creation due to some reasons. It seems to me that this page was deleted as there were no much credible sources or references were available on the internet at that point of time and also this person was not so popular too at that point of time.
This person, who is a very brave and honest woman IPS officer in India, was suddenly in the news all over India in July 2017, as she did a commendable job by earthing the irregularities at jails and she became very popular after that incident.
When i created this page in August 2017 with the same name and with all credible sources and references, this page again got speedy deleted and it was showing the old page (july 2016) as a reason for deletion. The fact is I was not aware of its earlier deletion before creating this page. Please help me to retrieve the page or creating the new page.

Kiranmadhu.e (talk) 16:17, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

The article was deleted by consensus per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/D Roopa IPS. You can ask for a copy by contacting the deleting administrator. I am not an admin anc cannot help you. -- Whpq (talk) 20:40, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Rejections to Dribbble post

I see you rejected the copy edits I made to Dribbble. I left all citations for changes made so not sure why these were rejected. Also, the company is not HQ in Salem, MA, the user count is wrong and the CEO is not event included here. Dan Cederholm and Rich Thornett founded the site but are no longer involved. How can I work with you to correct these errors? I'm happy to post updates in draft form so you can review prior. My goal is to correct inaccurate information, not promote the brand. Fool4Music (talk) 00:17, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

I don't see why you don't understand why the changes were reverted. I left you a note specifically telling you that the whole ting read like a press release. Also, in the non-free usage rationale for File:Dribbble Hangtime.jpg, you stated for respect for commercial opportunity that "we are the owner". You should review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I will be honest and blunt. I have ZERO interest in editing the Dribbble article. If you want changes made, I suggest you read and follow the WP:COIEDIT section of the conflict of interest guideline previously noted. -- Whpq (talk) 12:18, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

You left a notification on my talk page about this file needing proof of copyright. There is this page, which I believe is the original publication site, which details the creative commons license. http://peterschweizer.com/creative-commons-license-for-images-of-peter-schweizer/ I was unsure of what course of action to take, since it seems fairly clear that that meets the requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lensfielding (talk • contribs) 13:34, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
An administrator will review and make a determination if that is sufficient proof. -- Whpq (talk) 13:47, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Why do you reverted my edit

I added section in Gombe State University. But you remove it for no reason sir. I meet all the requirement. I wrote it myself it doesn't looks like press release, reference provided, i think the section doesn't qualified for deletion. Abubakrsadik (talk) 05:28, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Obviously, we disagree about tone of your wording. I suggest a discussion about the wording be made at Talk:Gombe State University. -- Whpq (talk) 11:22, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Then now the recent section "Historical Background" can not be added back? I suggest you to review it please. Abubakrsadik (talk) 16:07, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Raeesi.jpg file question

What should I do so in order my file is not deleted? Why did you put that nomination, can you explain cuase' I'm new to Wikipedia? Thank You. Shayaan Raza (talk) 17:26, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

I will answer on your talk page so you can easily find the information again. -- Whpq (talk) 17:47, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

My image issues

But I have referred the pages from where I got the pictures! So how are they copyrighted? Shayaan Raza (talk) 17:57, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Just because you found an image on the internet and provided a source, doe not mean you can use it on Wikipedia. Generally speaking, images you find on the internet are likely copyrighted and non-free. This is almost always true for movie stills which is what you appear to be uploading. Please read the policies and guidelines that I linked in my note to you on your talk page at User talk:Shayaan Raza#Your image uploads. -- Whpq (talk) 18:52, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

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

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled

Adminship

Hi, I don't think we've crossed paths before but I've recently being trying to gather some statistics on potential new RfA candidates, and yours seem to be pretty good. A nice mix of content to maintenance skills, excellent performance at AfD (eg: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Baxter (entrepreneur) where you helped turn around a discussion heading for "delete" into one that ended in "keep"), no problems with CSD, alert with copyvios and a strong contributor to FfD which is an area we don't have many admins specialising in. I think you could make good use of the tools, and I've had a pretty successful run of getting candidates through recently. What do you think? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:33, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm flattered, but I will decline at this point. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 00:19, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
@Ritchie333: Regarding this, I'll explain my decline. I've been a registered editor for over a decade, so it is true that I fall into the category of editors who don't have a burning desire to be an admin; if I did have a burning desire to be an admin, I would have been through an RFA by now. Having said that, I am not completely adverse to the idea of becoming an admin. Wikipedia is an amazing resource. The idea of a free, user built online encyclopedia seems like a pipe dream, and getting all these users to work together to produce what we have is akin to herding cats on an unimaginable scale. Yet here we are. To this day, I remain amazed and astounded at what has been built. I understand that to get all this to work needs effort behind the scenes. Administrative activities to enforce policy, and to apply procedures. So if we are in a situation were more admins are needed to make everything work, I'd be willing to help in some way. However, the timing is not great right now. I took a break from editing from Dec 2017 to Feb 2018. And my ability to contribute may go up and down some more in the near future, so I don't feel that now would be the right time to take the step into adminship. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 15:34, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
That's fine. The point I was making on the other talk page wasn't that I wanted to force you to run for RfA (if you don't want to, you don't need to). Rather it's that people complain about "rising standards", "serial opposers" and "failed RfA reforms", but I think it's more likely that (as you have suggested here) most people who were interested in doing the grunt janitor work have already asked and that bemoaning it on anything else is somewhat misguided.

Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony Article Problem

Dear Mr./Mrs. Whpq,

I am NetHelper, a fellow Wikipedia member. I was surprised to learn that the Wikipedia article for Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony had the exact same text as this website(https://www.gustav-mahler.eu/index.php/werken/95-symphony-no-9/858-movement-3-rondo-burleske-allegro-assai-sehr-trotzig), and I believe that copying and pasting from other sources may be a violation of the copyright policy, furthermore it is detrimental to the quality of the article. Could we work together to solve this issue? I am at your disposal to send you the text that I believe has been copied and pasted from the source.

Regards,

NetHelper — Preceding unsigned comment added by NetHelper (talk • contribs) 05:20, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting this, It looks to be a bit of a messy one. I've altered the tagging and listed it for administrator attention. If you see any copyright violations of this nature in the future, you can tag it with the copyvio template and list it for admin attention. -- Whpq (talk) 00:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

The uploader has shared the following content in the description of the video;

Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."

Hence a screenshot of the same has been used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shayoni15 (talk • contribs) 03:55, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

The licensing that you applied to the image states that the image is released to the public domain. The copyright information on the file and which you copied here makes it abundantly clear that the image is copyrighted and not public domain. You did not make a claim to use the image under fair use, and in any case, the image's use would not meet Wikipedia's guidelines for non-free content as a photo of a living person is considered to be replaceable in almost all cases. -- Whpq (talk) 04:03, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. So how to claim my usage under fair use? Is there a process to do so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shayoni15 (talk • contribs) 04:42, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

As already stated above Wikipedia:Non-free content, but you will not be able to claim fair use for this image because it could be replaced with a free image that somebody (not necessarily you) could make by taking a photo of this person. -- Whpq (talk) 10:37, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi

Hi! I am about to change the pic of Rachelle but due to copyright it was changed back to original. Hopefully you could help me with this thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theatergem (talk • contribs) 02:34, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi

What should i do then? Sorry i am not very expert in wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theatergem (talk • contribs) 02:36, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

You should not upload images that you find on the internet. -- Whpq (talk) 02:39, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

so copyrighted images are not fair use?

Why did you delete my user/Dustin Blades?

So copyrighted images are not fair use, but wikipedia uses company names to gain value to their own website? So you delete my page because I am small and am a nobody on the internet? I did a great job in explaining who I am, and what business I started? You took what I was doing was advertising? Is all links from wikipedia nofollow? Then what is the problem? Because I am not facebook? What was I gaining from this? Wikipedia is One sided. I expect this to be deleted and unanswered as it does not fit into your criteria. updated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustin Blades (talk • contribs) 18:08, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

If you feel that the deletion of your user page was not in line with Wikipedia policy on user pages, you can contact the deleting administrator user: Explicit to discuss restoring it. -- Whpq (talk) 11:20, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Whpq, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Notability
General notability guideline
Subject-specific guidelines

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.

Uploaded images.

Could you please explain to me why you are proposing all of my uploaded images for deletion. All of which have been previously reviewed (except "theWGBnfld.jpg") by other administrators. I do not understand why now they are violating copywrite laws and other Wikipedia violations and not before. It feels as thought I have been targeted and attacked. This calls for explanation. LilJohnnyWimple (talk) 01:58, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

I have not nominated all of your image uploads for deletion, only the ones that appear to contravene Wikipedia policy. A reason for each image deletion has been provided. As for the images having been previously reviewed by administrators, that may or may not have happened. The fact that nobody has noticed until now is irrelevant to whether an image complies with Wikipedia policy. I haven't had a chance to fix these yet but you still have two images where the licensing is blatantly wrong. For File:Prismjerichocover.jpg, you are claiming the album cover has been released to the public domain by its owner. That's very highly unlikely. For File:Livetonite1978.jpg, you are claiming to be the copyright holder. Taking a picture of an album cover does not mean that you now hold the copyright. The reason I have not nominated these for deletion is because they can be fixed to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content guidelines. -- Whpq (talk) 12:25, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
