== Draft:LÀCRIMA DAIRY ==

Hello Valereee,

I see that you left a comment at [[Draft:LÀCRIMA DAIRY]] saying that the draft needs to be salted as it has been deleted and recreated with advertising content numerous times already. If it is suitable I can go ahead and delete and salt the draft. [[User:JIP|<span style="color: #CC0000;">J</span><span style="color: #00CC00;">I</span><span style="color: #0000CC;">P</span>]] &#124; [[User talk:JIP|Talk]] 20:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

:Hey, @[[User:JIP|JIP]]! That would be great! There are I believe multiple spellings...LACRIMA DAIRY, I think. And maybe several La Crima Dairy versions. Although we can just salt them as they reappear, I guess, they're on multiple radar screens now. Apparently this one has been attempted multiple times over the past few years.

[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|70px]][[File:NPP backlog June 2022.jpg|thumb|500px|New Page Review queue June 2022]]
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;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 [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers|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{{efn|not including another ~6,000 redirects}} 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.{{efn|The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.}} 

In the last 30 days, [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/Top_new_article_reviewers#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 [[User:buidhe|buidhe]] and [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]], will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/July 2022/Participants|here]]. [[File:WikiProject Barnstar Hires.png|25px]] 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, {{txl|NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
:{{NPP backlog}}

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.

{{refbegin}}
;Reminders
*Consider staying informed on project issues by putting [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers|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 {{tq|<nowiki>{{subst:NPR invite}}</nowiki>}} 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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Newsletter list|here.]]

:::
:::W/re: Jyotirmay Chakravarty, I'm afraid that Indian politicians is not a subject I have any expertise in ''at all'', and Indian sources are extremely tricky to deal with if you aren't familiar with them, but if you want to point out ''which three sources'' you believe are the best for supporting notability, I'll take a look. Because my first question is always "Is this subject actually notable?" [[User:Valereee|valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee#top|talk]]) 16:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
::::@[[User:Valereee|Valereee]] yes the subject is notable as a [[Director general of police|Director General]] level police officer but he went for voluntary retirement with dissatisfaction over promotions are handled by politicians. His last posting was India level police officer. And he worked for India level agencies like the [[National Security Guard]], [[Special Protection Group]], [[Sashastra Seema Bal|SSB]], [[Special Branch]]. Also, he handled many top investigation during his tenure. The bellow 4 citation cover's him as a non-ordinary police officer.

==Trust in the CDC ←2018==

Watched ''[[The Darkest Minds]]'' on Sunday, had a good time, thanks for the recommend. It was super dumb, but also fun, and surprisingly heartfelt. 

<u>Observations:</u> 

*Kids in concentration camps being abused by armed men and women — what is this, an ICE documentary? Yikes!
*A black female protagonist in a film ''not'' centred on black people (or her own blackness)? Wow.
*The demography doesn't make sense! From potential tens of millions of affected persons, to, what, 50?
*She's ''orange'' (only one, except for the <spoilers>), so if the resistance makes her an ''agent'', I hope she won't be called [[Agent Orange]] (←this is a dumb joke).
*Reds = fire? They seem like a pleasant enough bunch. Also, where did they come from? 
*"Trust in the CDC" — don't mind if I do ('ish). Still waiting for the booster data for ages 18-48, btw. Oh well, maybe next decade...

== WikiCup 2022 July newsletter ==

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

*[[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]], with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process. 

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

== Advice about Wikiproject assessment, NPP  ==

Hey, I saw you thanked me for an assessment at [[abortion doula]] -- thanks! 

This gives me an opportunity to ask for advice. Since joining the site I've aspired to work in NPP and AfC seeing how important those two systems are for editor retention and article quality, and I don't think I'm experienced enough for that (besides the fact I don't meet the criteria) -- wanting to participate in more AfDs and build confidence in wikiproject assessment first. 

So I just wanted to ask about wikiproject assessment - if you could glance at my recent edit history involving it, do you think I'm doing anything egregiously wrong? Would you have any advice for me aspiring to NPP? I know rating is a subjective process and all, I'm doing it part out of concern for how important the work seems to be now. I started out editing mostly psychology articles and there are many articles there which just never get tagged with the wikiproject and so it's harder to pick up cleanup tags through automated tools like [[User:CleanupWorklistBot|CleanupWorklistBot]].

Second thing, in doing assessment going through [[:Category:Unassessed articles]], I'm finding a lot of what feels to me like borderline cases for deletion, I feel a little too nervous to flag any with AfD or prod though. Is it better to be bold about this? Here are a couple of examples: [[InBios]] [[Myogel]] [[Easynews]]. There were also a couple that I assessed, then shortly after got tagged with a prod or draftified. Is it okay that I'm not doing that? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks [[User:Darcyisverycute|Darcyisverycute]] ([[User talk:Darcyisverycute|talk]]) 22:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

:Hi, @[[User:Darcyisverycute|Darcyisverycute]]. So, a couple of questions here. 
:#Wikiproject assessment is a good place for newbies because you tend to learn a lot and you can't actually do much unintentional harm.
:#I didn't look too closely, but from a look the kinds of things you are doing (finding more appropriate wikiprojects, for instance) look helpful. More importantly, reversions of your edits seem quite rare, which is a good sign other editors are seeing your edits as helpful. Not that there are usually a ton of people going along changing these kinds of talk page things, but it's always a good idea to investigate any reversions you don't completely understand, which I see you did at Child abandonment. When you removed the 'expert needed' tag at Mind-blindness, did you go back and see whether there was a history there? Who added it, what their edit summary was, whether there was any discussion on talk at the time? Sometimes it's useful to ping that person either in your edit summary or to a talk discussion unless this is a subject with which you yourself are very familiar. 
:#Yes, while doing assessments you may absolutely find articles that are borderline candidates for deletion. InBios is a good example -- likely UPE 2011 creation, at first glance what looks like terrible sourcing (I did not check any of them, just going on what they appear to be), and it's been tagged for notability since 2014 and likely has flown under the radar since then because it's an orphan. If those sources were truly all that was available then, that company was not notable. Before you nominate it, do a thorough [[WP:BEFORE]] to see if it's gotten [[WP:SIGCOV]] in [[WP:RS]] in the past 10 years. If you do find sources, consider either fixing the article or at least adding the sources in a Further reading section so that some future editor may fix it. If you do not find three instances of sigcov, AfD it. [[User:Valereee|valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee#top|talk]]) 13:05, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
::Thanks for the input :)
::For the mind-blindness article, I did read the talk page beforehand, and ended up talking about it with another editor after I had my first revert on my article rewrite there! That was initially a scary experience for me but I've come to understand better to not take that sort of thing personally and that writing a summary and reasons for big changes on the talk page is helpful. It didn't occur to me to use WikiBlame to find who placed the template and any edit summary message they left, I'll try to remember to do that more. 
::Didn't realise people could be pinged through an edit summary linking and/or piping their username. That sounds useful. 
::WP:BEFORE looks very helpful, I've just tried doing those checks on InBios, and I couldn't find anything so I did make an AfD for it. {{tl|source assess table}} is a nice template! Thanks again [[User:Darcyisverycute|Darcyisverycute]] ([[User talk:Darcyisverycute|talk]]) 10:22, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
:::Always a ton to learn here on WP, even after 50K edits. :) [[User:Valereee|valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee#top|talk]]) 21:14, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

== "Woman" vs. "pregnant person" vs. "patient" ==

Hello!  Thank you for your edits/reversions on the Abortion article.  I think that maybe this should be discussed somewhere and a consensus found for uniform language across Wiki articles...it is not urgent though I do see this recurring, though the subject doesn't even seem settled in the press.

Personally, I would prefer "patient" to "pregnant person", but of course my preferences don't matter here.  Sources recently do seem to more often say "pregnant person", than "woman" though that seems like political language preferred by some but not all in the abortion rights movement. 

Here's [[Helen Lewis (journalist)]]'s opinion [https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/05/abortion-rights-debate-women-gender-neutral-language/629863/]

You're probably right this is likely a quagmire...I don't know where the proper noticeboard or venue would be to start this discussion, otherwise I'd start it there.  Any suggestions? ---'''[[User:Avatar317|<span style="background:#8A2BE2; color:white; padding:2px;">Avatar317</span>]][[User talk:Avatar317|<sup><span style="background:#7B68EE; color:white; padding:2px;">(talk)</span></sup>]]''' 22:21, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Avatar317|Avatar317]], I think it's a fool's errand to try to find consensus across articles. :) WP doesn't really even value that except when there's a reason it serves readers.  
:So what I'd do is start through, very slowly, on the article. Rewrite to use patient ''where that makes sense''. Wait for response, then circle back to see if we can now start rewording sentences. But trying to start a sitewide RfC? I recommend against this. :) [[User:Valereee|valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee#top|talk]]) 23:42, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

:::{{u|Avatar317}}, and Valereee, please see [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#Gender-neutral_language_in_human_sex-specific_articles|the consensus previously reached at the Village Pump]]. As the closure states: {{tq|As outlined below, the terminology in articles, especially medical articles, is dependent upon the support of reliable sources and it is expected that editors would use the same terminology presented in said sources.}} The bulk of sources on abortion continue to speak of women, and the use of terms that imply that abortion is a sex-neutral issue is controversial, as exemplified above by the article that Avatar317 linked. Wikipedia should avoid such politically charged new forms of speaking that are not typical, per [[WP:NOTADVOCACY]]. For these articles to make reference to women is natural and to be expected. <span style="font-family:Palatino">[[User:Crossroads|'''Crossroads''']]</span> <sup>[[User talk:Crossroads|-talk-]]</sup> 05:38, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

== Mentorship for The C of E? ==

I see that you've already closed The C of E's t-ban appeal. I wasn't able to suggest it in the topic ban discussion itself, but I was brainstorming if it was possible that The C of E could submit himself to some form of mentorship (I'm not sure exactly what would be its nature). Like, maybe if he wanted to go back to DYK, he could have some kind of mentor that would guide him and ensure that the reservations some editors had (myself included) over the possibility of boundary pushing would not happen? Like, maybe he could have co-nominators or collaborators for every DYK nomination he could have? I don't know if it would be a feasible idea, I was just brainstorming. What do you think?

::Thanks. Do you have any idea how such a mentorship could work? Given that the topic ban lifting discussion was just closed, I don't think now is the right time for him to ask on WP:AN again, but I wonder if it's possible that in the meantime, some kind of workshopping on what to do is possible. Pinging {{u|The C of E}} so that he sees this and gives input on possible mentorship options.

:::Mentorship is so fraught. Many experienced editors see it as simply farce, a way to protect someone from a block or ban. CofE probably shouldn't respond here, it's possible the 'broadly construed' would be interpreted as kicking in on someone else's talk, they should probably only discuss on their own.

== Welcome back ==

Your comments an BN really resonate, I'm sure I am not the only one who has felt the same thing. When I was working for the federal government and they had me doing something boring and repetitive, I'd remind myself how much they were paying me to do it, it was a good motivator. Here it's the opposite, I remind myself I won't get paid any less if I don't do something, and this is  hobby, not a job.

== New editor ==

Aren't you interested in articles about food and wine?  I mention, because I just ran across a new user who is interested in, well you can see it on her User:Leslie Love Stone.

Hey, I started to add this to the Gaetz article but then thought it might sound condescending there.  As that wasn't my intent I'll say it here. Thank you for illustrating how we should follow BRD!  I think I'm right but certainly if I'm wrong I should be challenged on the talk page.  It may sound odd but I really appreciate that you did that because too often I feel like the cycle is "Editor A adds, Editor B reverts, A adds again and then B finally opens up a discussion.  Your polite disagreement really is nice and I appreciate it even if we disagree.  [[User:Springee|Springee]] ([[User talk:Springee|talk]]) 13:49, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

== Good news ==

re: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lugnuts#A_barnstar_for_you!_3 this]. He wasn't exactly a prolific writer, and I'd go as far to say that at this point it isn't even a loss, much of what he created could have been done by a bot or a 5 year old. Few if any of his creations were more than 2 sentences long (which is part of the issue itself) so I think perhaps he's fibbing about the copyvio.

:I know. I should just shut up. But introducing intentional errors? Jeez. From my point of view that means they were ''never'' here to build an encyclopedia. And, yes, after that? I don't consider it a loss at all. I was trying to be sympathetic and even hoped there wouldn't be a site ban. Now? Good riddance. I can forgive copyvio -- hell, I think WMF should be paying for finding and fixing that -- but anyone who would introduce intentional errors under ''any circumstances'' is not someone I'd ever welcome back.

Hi Valereee! Would you be willing to write the essay [[WP:Copy, paste, edit, save]]? I've encountered and admired your comments on the subject in a few venues. It's informed my thoughts about edits I see others making, as well as my own content work. I've since run into situations where it might be helpful to link an essay on the topic in order to explain what was wrong with an edit and how the issue could have been avoided.
