Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited José Bleger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NCBI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I'm not sure why you removed Category:Royal Marines ranks from this article. It's clearly appropriate. I think it's possible you may have misinterpreted the scope of the category? It's for people who served as other ranks in the Royal Marines, not ranks used by the Royal Marines; that's Category:Military ranks of the Royal Marines. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

 

Hello Alextejthompson,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Non admin closure for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trendon Watford

Hi I think that your closure of the deletion discussion was incorrect as per #2 WP:BADNAC. At best it should have been no consensus. 2 editors were for the deletion (the nominator User:GoldenRing an admin and User:Kb03) and 2 keep !votes. The argument of the 2nd keep !vote that being a Mcdonald's all american player meets #1 WP:ANYBIO "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." does not IMHO hold water because WP:NHOOPS already has a criteria for awards "Have won an award, or led the league in a major statistical category of the Continental Basketball Association or NBA G League." I think you should consider reopening the discussion as per WP:NACD. --Dom from Paris (talk) 12:41, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Domdeparis, sorry I just saw this. Feel free to reopen the discussion, I'm being more careful with NACs now. Cheers, Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 12:57, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for that, and also for not taking umbrage, there are some pretty big egos here and you never know how people will react! I came across this article when checking up on article creations by an editor that seems not to have read WP:NHOOPS and has created quite a few dodgy articles. As per WP:NACD I'll have to contact an un-involved admin to get them to reopen it as I can't do it myself. That said I could always nominate it again and point to this discussion in the nomination. That will avoid having to get another editor involved. What do you prefer? Dom from Paris (talk) 15:30, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Domdeparis, I'm not sure which is better but I would personally reopen it with a link to this discussion. Cheers, Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 16:04, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Ok thanks. Dom from Paris (talk) 16:05, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Prince Shobuz

 

A tag has been placed on Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Prince Shobuz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

 

Hello Alextejthompson,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
  • Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
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, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

October 2019

 

Your recent editing history at Armed services shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi Merlin04, please check the page history and what it is being changed to, this is clearly not constructive. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 17:01, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Edit_warring#Exemptions, cheers Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 17:03, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, I missed that section of the article. Thanks for letting me know! Merlin04 (talk) 17:04, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
No need to apologise Merlin04, there's a lot of different rules and guidelines and it can be difficult to stay on top of them. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 17:05, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter November 2019

 

Hello Alextejthompson,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.

Getting the queue to 0

There are now 805 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.

Coordinator

Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.

This month's refresher course

Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.

Tools
  • It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
  • It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
Reviewer Feedback

Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.

Second set of eyes
  • Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
  • Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
Arbitration Committee

The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

Community Wish list

There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Questions about [Mu-onna]

Hello,I noticed that you were involved in the change of the [Mu-onna] page,I'd like to talk to you about some of the problems of the "Mu-onna" page

This is [Inuyasha] original Yōkai,There is no such monster in the traditional materials of Japan

I'm interested in Japanese legends, and I often look for a lot of information I'm sure that [Mu-onna] is not a Japanese legend, at least I haven't seen it in Japanese materials But I noticed that Wiki in English regarded her as a traditional Japanese creature,And the content is the description in [Inuyasha] (of course, including the monster itself, all are original),People regard [Mu-onna] wiki records as real and spread in the Internet world Someone might confuse her with faceless monsters like [Noppera-bō (のっぺらぼう)]

Because my English is not good, I mainly rely on machine translation,Not familiar with Wiki editors

Please help.Remove this page from the Japanese legend and link it to the relevant page of [Inuyasha] Thank you. I don't want to see the wrong message spread
