The Generation Lab -- Declined Article
editHey there! Thanks so much for your feedback on the Generation Lab draft article. You mentioned that the references I used do not demonstrate "significant coverage" of the Generation Lab but rather represent "just passing mentions." Although the articles I cited only reference the Generation Lab once, the entirety of the article revolves around the data that the Generation Lab provided to them. The data collected by the Generation Lab was exclusively provided to Axios and as a result, the article would not exist without the Generation Lab's contributions. Let me know what you think and if you have any advice. Thanks so much!
Hi, thanks for the message. It is irrelevant for the purpose of establishing notability what data produced by the Generation Lab was used by a third-party. You need to provide multiple independent secondary sources with significant coverage of the Generation Lab, and not simply references to byproducts of its work used by other sites. I'd suggest reading WP:GNG. Best of luck! nearlyevil665 19:41, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Identifying unreliable sources
Hi, I created a page about a film composer mentioned clearly at IMDB, and the sources are reliable. Can you tell me which are the "unreliable" sources you state as a reason for not allowing the article?
I am writing to ask why my article was not accepted for submission. It is very much similar to other biographical articles of that nature. I am writing about a woman who has been extremely remarkable who is the first African woman in her field. I looked at Dr. Claire Karekezi who is approved on wikipedia and I don't see any difference between the two. I would appreciate your insight. Thank you very much.

Rollback granted
edit
Hi Nearlyevil665. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! - TheresNoTime 😺 12:09, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
Diana Burnwood Deletion
editHi, On a recent article I posted about Diana Burnwood you tagged it for deletion, under the reason she's a tertiary character and doesn't qualify. Burnwood has appeared in nearly every game to date, and in some games has over fifty minutes of dialogue. She had the Hitman comic series developed about her parents' loss, was the most related to Agent 47, etc. How is she 'tertiary?' She was very important i most of the games.

Draft:Impaakt Submission declined on 17 August 2021.
editHi,
Thank you very much for reviewing my work and for your help. I really appreciate it.
I am part of the Impaakt community and I was searching for Impaakt on Wikipedia. Since I could not find an article about the platform I thought that initiating one could be interesting for the experience and because Impaakt and Wikipedia work on the same model. Moreover, I hoped that more experienced Wikipedian would contribute to my article.
While searching, I found this page: https://fr.wiki.x.io/wiki/Impak_Finance about a similar company. However, I struggle to understand how it was possible that this article was published: (https://fr.wiki.x.io/wiki/Impak_Finance) and that mine (Draft:Impaakt) was rejected. In fact both articles look quite similar. Do you know the reason?
Would you have any additional advices to help me get my first article published on Wikipedia? Is there a way for me to get contributions from experienced Wikipedians on my Draft:Impaakt ?
Once again, thank you very much for your help and your time.
Best-

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
edit
Hello Nearlyevil665,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
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 or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

May I request for a reconsideration of my submission on the grounds of the subject having significant coverage in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. The following articles featured the subject extensively: Modern Parenting and Esquire Magazine.
Let me also add that I included citations to the academic articles written by Dr. Rica Cruz published in a peer-reviewed journal. May I know if these are considered "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject"? In the guidelines for determining notability, it specifically says for academics, which Dr. Rica Cruz is, "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources."
I would also like to ask how to improve the article since the subject has proven notability mostly in social media. References that suggest this are in the form of video recording of shows that are aired on national TV. Again, according to the guidelines on notability of entertainers, the subject has also had significant roles in multiple notable television and radio programs, and made prolific contributions as a journalist in several online media platforms. I wonder how these could be referenced in the article to improve it.
Thank you!
TheBandShirleyFan (talk) 04:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Academic publications by the author himself are primary sources, not secondary. Furthermore, articles where the subject is mentioned in a trivial manner or where the subject is expressing opinions in an expert capacity do not qualify as a pass of notability. We need reliable sources that cover the subject, not sources where the subject expresses their expert opinions. As to your point about the subject meeting Wikipedia:NENT, I don't see how the subject meets it.
- You are free to resubmit and another reviewer will take a look at it. nearlyevil665 08:29, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Requesting help for Draft:Pontem Network
editHi, I updated the submission with more 3rd party reliable sources such as Nasdaq and Yahoo, although I'll caveat some of these might be redundant probably coming from the more niche news sources themselves. I believe there might be a lack of in depth coverage by mainstream reliable sources as this is a niche industry so I would please ask you to review the more niche cryptocurrency sources in depth and judge for yourself that they are more in depth than the mainstream ones.
I am coming from the community of this crypto project and the outcome is to have a wikipedia page even if just a stub so they can submit for a verified blue check mark on twitter so that users of the community don't get scammed by fake accounts.
Could I maybe request for a second opinion perhaps from the cryptocurrency working group to examine this submission?

If you're trying to have your draft submitted for review, all you have to do is press the "Submit the draft for review" button on the page: Draft:Marco Nereo Rotelli. But I must warn you that after a quick look I highly doubt there will be a favorable outcome as there are no sources and it reads like a brochure. I'd suggest reading Help:Your first article before moving any further with this. Best of luck! nearlyevil665 06:40, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello! Can you please provide clarification?
editHello! Thank you for taking the time to review my article draft regarding the Benzinga news source. I am sorry, but I was confused about the statement that my article's contents "do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject." I was under the impression that all of the sources I cited are reliable and independent (including Bloomberg, Detroit Free Press and Toronto Globe & Mail -- all major news outlets) and all of the sources are specifically about the subject itself (its creation, the early Dan Gilbert investment, the major brokerages using it and the recent majority stake purchase from a private equity firm). I feel so dumb because I thought I did this correctly, but where am I going wrong? I really want to get it right this time. Thanks! And Adoil Descended (talk) 18:43, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
Hey there, wondering why my ghost drops page was declined. I used the same reference websites as other cannabis pages on wiki like Tokyo Smoke - for example: Corporation, Canopy Growth. "Canopy Growth to Acquire Hiku Brands to Strengthen Retail and Brand Portfolio". www.newswire.ca. Retrieved 2019-09-08. and Ltd, Hiku Brands Company. "Tokyo Smoke cannabis retail stores are Coming to Manitoba". www.newswire.ca. Retrieved 2019-01-30. - not sure why they would be approved for them and not ghost drops. you can do a quick google search of ghost drops and see it is the top results. what else can I use for references?
TroyKFD (talk) 13:09, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for reaching out. Press releases and other types of corporate sponsored content are not secondary sources. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Furthermore, please see WP:INN as the mere fact that other articles exist doesn't mean they should exist. nearlyevil665 13:13, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for responding. hopefully I'm responding correctly. If I removed the three newswire.ca references, would the draft then pass? Ghost Drops is one of Canada's most iconic cannabis brands and they are definitely notable enough for a wiki page. Is there anything specific I could add to get it approved? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TroyKFD (talk • contribs) 13:27, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
You are more than free to resubmit with the references amended. Another editor will take a look, but I'd be careful with assuming that any given topic is notable. With a simple Google search I see mostly coverages of the company's routine business operations, which don't qualify towards corporate notability. I would suggest adding references that have significant coverage about the company, rather than some rehashes of partnership announcements. Best of luck! nearlyevil665 13:32, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
thank you for all your help. I omitted the references and resubmitted it. If it gets declined then I guess I'll have to wait until more news articles come out. One quick question. Would an interview in a notable magazine be a valid reference? the CEO of ghost drops has a High Times magazine article coming out, would I be able to use it? again, thank you for your time and help — Preceding unsigned comment added by TroyKFD (talk • contribs) 13:36, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Ulrich Lemmer
editLemmer is apparently notable, but you seem to have removed all the evidence for it when you accepted the draft. Check WP:PROF--the significance as a researcher is usually shown by the influence in the field, and this is normally shown either by citations, or as awards. The original draft was inadequate: it asserted high citations ,but did not show them You removed even the assertions. You or the originale ditor, need to back the list of most cited publications, and add the numbers. DGG ( talk ) 05:18, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi DGG, thanks for reaching out! I'm fairly active in the review of academics and I've had a case with an admin (cannot remember which one) who unequivocally removed the list of publications from a professor's page (including their citation count) saying that it was a indiscriminate list. I usually feel like walking on thin ice every time I review an academic's profile as I've had countless conflicting impressions from various editors here (including admins) about how their notability is established.
- My assumption with Lemmer was that his Google Scholar profile demonstrated a pass of Wikipedia:Notability (academics) - I generally assume that over 5 publications with >100 citations in established peer reviewed journals is a demonstration of notability. If the original editor or someone else wishes to provide additional bits about the subject's influence or achievements they are more than welcome; I simply felt uncomfortable accepting the article without any secondary sources to back those up. nearlyevil665 05:53, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Turansaim (talk) 08:02, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- You sound like a good faith editor so I will be blunt: I tagged your article for speedy deletion because it was written in a promotional tone and the company was not notable. Please see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest if you are affiliated with the company and also Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure if you are being paid. Failure to do so might result in a permanent ban so I would advise you to familiarize yourself with the rules and follow them to the letter before creating another article. Best of luck! nearlyevil665 16:46, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
I'm a little puzzled that you concluded. she did not meet WP:PROF, as she holds a distinguished professorship, which is by itself enough. Judging by the CV,it was awarded for her retirement. (the article does need some clarification of the publications and other editing). DGG ( talk ) 09:23, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- You are absolutely correct that she does indeed meet WP:PROF. I must have missed the Distinguished Professorship bit during review. Your note on the CV is well taken. I will integrate your feedback into my reviewing process. Thanks for reaching out! nearlyevil665 10:23, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
==Draft:An Yin And I'm puzzled here--you concluded he did meet WP:PROF but said the early career was not verified by sources--but much of it is are in the CV, which is in the external links, and an official CV is sufficiently reliable for the purpose, as hundred of afds have demonstrated. (sometime some aspects of the earlier life of person cannot be verified--if I think its exaggerated, I often simply remove that part)
the only requirement for passing an article from afc is that it will probably pass afd. All three of these would passedfd. All should have been accepted. They can be fixedin manspace. That said,I often do make the minor fixes for an improved presentation before accepting a draft. It's much easier to do that than to hope the original editor will.
I will mention that a custom has developed, which I follow, that if the editor appears to be a good faith editor, I do not make in most cases make 2 successive declines of the same draft, but let another reviewer does. DGG ( talk ) 09:34, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Please may I ask you to take a further look at this article. I'm struggling with its notability and referencing. You may well be right that it stands a better than 50% chance of surviving a deletion discussion (or did when you accepted it), so your eyes a second time and your thoughts would be very useful. It was on my watch list, and my attention was drawn to it when DGG showed some concerns with it. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 15:45, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for reaching out! This was a few months back but giving it a second look I remember it being approved on the basis of the newspaper references and other seemingly reliable Hebrew sources demonstrating WP:CORPDEPTH and there being sufficient sources to survive a deletion discussion. It could use some clean-up though and I certainly should have slapped it with the relevant tag. My bad on that one! nearlyevil665 16:43, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia" and - (2) "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia.

- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Even better handling of copyvio drafts
editI guess I got addicted after the drive on WP:AFC to sort out Category:AfC submissions declined as copyright violations. I created this guide, which reflects what we were asked to do there. I hope you may find it helps. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 13:56, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Fiddle, thanks for the message. I'll keep that guide in mind and apply where necessary! nearlyevil665 16:59, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Can you also identify, at least, the first revision that contains the copyrighted material and include that in the revdel request. Preferably the last revision too but this tends to be more obvious. Nthep (talk) 19:02, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Nthep Good point well made. I've added that to my sub page. It's not necessarily the easiest thing to achieve FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 21:22, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- I agree, not always easy. But if you can locate it, the the admin who does the revdel can make a double check that the right revisions have been caught which iS a definite dase of two heads being better than one. Nthep (talk) 09:28, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Nearlyevil665, thank you for the feedback on the page I contributed about a company. I was careful to take a look at another published wikipedia page for a company that does very similar work in a similar field (called SomaLogic https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/SomaLogic ) and took my cue from that page.
To have more third-party proof of notability, would you recommend more references to footnote, or have other input? I am still new and learning the ropes around Wikipedia, and find it very rewarding.
Sincerely, Dale LuckydogFour (talk) 21:23, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the message. For companies to be considered notable, they need to satisfy Wikipedia:NCORP and need to demonstrate significant coverage in multiple secondary reliable sources, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources to that end. As of now you have either primary sources or mentions in routine business operations, which do not count toward notability. nearlyevil665 18:01, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
edit 
Hello Nearlyevil665,
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 812 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 846 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.

- Hi, thanks for the message. I looked again, and you're on the right track with the first three articles, but having looked at the talk pages for the previously deleted article and your talk page, I'm a bit concerned with the excessively long history of undisclosed paid editing and COI involved. Make sure you've made all proper diclosures about your connection to the subject as per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I'd suggest asking over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk for more experienced editors to chime in on this. nearlyevil665 07:39, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Many thanks, Nearlyevil665.
- I was told at Help Desk that there is no need to post there and that I should just wait for regular reviewing. Could you please take another look?

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
edit 
Hello Nearlyevil665,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. 
Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 14918 articles, as of 12:00, 22 December 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
edit
Hello Nearlyevil665,
- Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
- Coordination
- MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
- Open letter to the WMF
- The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
- TIP - Reviewing by subject
- Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
- New reviewers
- The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
editHello Nearlyevil665,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
- There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
- Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
- Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
- This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
editHello Nearlyevil665,
- Backlog
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
- 2022 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
editHello Nearlyevil665,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

New pages patrol newsletter
editHello Nearlyevil665,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Hello, Nearlyevil665!

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Abdul-Kerim Edilov has been accepted
edit 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.
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.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

editHello Nearlyevil665,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
