== Question from [[User:Christy Johnna|Christy Johnna]] (08:54, 2 December 2024) == |
|||
I recently logged into my account to see a page I created (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ducat) was speedily deleted in February 2021 without any input from me. Obviously, I will not contest the grounds (and have no standing to do so, despite being the page creator), but I would like to have the text made available for safe keeping in the future. Are you able to send that to my talk page? Thank you for your time. |

Hi, |
|||
Why is it that people can create an article and straight away one can google the subject and the article comes up but I created an article on 19 July [[Martina Evans]] which is in mainspace ( It comes up if you put it in the search box or click on the link in another article, e.g. [[Dalston]] notable people, but you cannot google it and have it come up. It is so frustrating.[[User:Aineireland|Aineireland]] ([[User talk:Aineireland|talk]]) 14:58, 7 September 2021 (UTC) |
|||
:{{tps}} Hi [[User:Aineireland|Aineireland]], you don't have the [[WP:AUTOPATROLLED]] user right, so when you create an article you have to wait until it is either 90 days old, or it is marked reviewed by a member of the [[WP:NPP|New Pages Patrol]] for it to show up in Google searches.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, |
|||
== New pages patrol January 2025 Backlog drive == |
|||
Please join [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#AFC_reviewer_Olaf_Kosinsky|''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 [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]]. Even our review systems themselves at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation|AfC]] and [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|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. |
|||
{| style="border: 2px solid #36c; border-radius: 4px; background: linear-gradient(to right, #ffffff, #eaf3ff); padding: 10px; color: #000;" |
|||
[[WP:COPYVIO|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 [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Copyright_violations_(WP:COPYVIO)|'''here''']]. |

|||
| rowspan=3 | [[File:NPP Barnstar.png|right|100px]] |
|||
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. |
|||
* On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. |
|||
* Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. |
|||
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. |
|||
* Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. |
|||
[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|left|50px]] |
|||
* [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/January 2025#Streak awards|Streak awards]] will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. |
|||
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 [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Coordination#New_Page_Review_Coordinators|here]]. |
|||
* Barnstars will also be granted for [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/January 2025#Re-reviewing|re-reviewing articles]] previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. |

Thank you for closing the JPL discussion. I see you quoted me. :) When I was reading it, I saw I have a mistake in my writing. |
|||
I have bolded it here: "if John finds out a topic he thought had no religious involvement is '''not''' religiously involved, he could play it very safe and revert his edits." Perhaps I meant "now"? I don't know. It was a few days ago. Anyway, do you think it would be helpful to follow that with [sic] or strike it or something, or trust that the community will get it from the context of the rest of the statement? Again, thank you. Have a great day! --[[User:DiamondRemley39|DiamondRemley39]] ([[User talk:DiamondRemley39|talk]]) 16:41, 16 September 2021 (UTC) |

: Thank you for closing the discussion, Ritchie. I honestly wouldn't want anyone else to do it. I know it was a very difficult close and I believe you came to the only conclusion that you could have based on consensus. I may not necessarily agree completely with the results but I didn't expect anything different to occur. I hope JPL is given the opportunity expressed in the comment and stated in the close. Based on the comments of others during this case my confidence is not very high that he will. The validity of the frustration towards JPL is justified and I have told him that he needs to accept that. His actions have been extremely disruptive and this topic ban is his last option to remain here. I wanted him taking it serious. --[[User:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b76e79">'''A'''</span><span style="color:#be4f60">'''Rose'''</span>]][[User talk:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b87333">'''Wolf'''</span>]] 18:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC) |

:Just want to second the recommendation to tweak the wording of the close to be sure it's accurate. Given the history around this editor and the parsing of statements and supposed lack of clarity in boundaries, the more airtight and correct the explanation, the better.

::I agree that the quote from DiamondRemley39 contains a minor typo that may lead to confusion. Clarifying that would be advisable. Clarification of what constitutes a "religious figure" would also be useful. If a successful business person donates a large sum of money to a religious institution, does that make them a religious figure? I don't think so, but I think John needs some tools to evaluate edge cases.

I've fixed the typo; the closing statement of the ANI thread is the only place that it is directly mentioned, so that's easy to fix. I did see a notice that somebody needed to close the thread, and reading through the comments, I found a consensus for a topic ban, but wanted to include something that tried to distance this from being a "pile on", and DiamondRemley39's comment seemed to be the best one to go for. As I think you're aware, I just closed the thread based on the consensus I saw, I have previously commented that JPL's AfD comments are not helpful for a closing admin, but that is not a sanctionable offence and played no part in how I closed the thread - I don't believe I've ever clashed with him on any religious topic.

Hey there Ritchie, I don't know how I ended up on this page. |

We hope to see you there! |

I basically just want to translate existing articles into Arabic in order to build a portfolio. |

Hey Ritchie, I was wondering if you could look into this albums page, an IP has repeatedly been claiming that this was a mixtape then they later claimed it as a compilation album. The sources listed on the page all call this an studio album. The IP sent me a message on my talk page and I have also sent them a warning. |

::Oops, I prolly should’ve stated it was on [[Everything's Strange Here]] page. Where the same IP has changed it from stating it’s a mixtape to a compilation album when no sources exist referring to them as that but sources are referring to it as just a regular album. Although the artist did describe it as a “side project” but I don’t think that would qualify as either a mixtape or a compilation album?

:::Okay, that makes more sense. I have semi-protected [[Everything's Strange Here]] for a week as regardless of what discussion has been taking place, the back-and-forth with the IPs needs to stop. I don't think a single source, rap-up.com, is sufficient to switch consensus that this is a bona-fide studio album. In either case, I think the best thing to do would be to expand the article a bit to make it more clear, if you can find sufficient source material.

== Deletion of [[Harry Partridge]] == |

:Which page are you talking about? [[User:Ritchie333|<b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b>]] [[User talk:Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)</sup>]] 09:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC) |

Hi, regarding the deletion of the article [[Harry Partridge]] which you closed, I feel the fact that a [[WP:RS]] published new and obviously non-trivial in-depth coverage of the subject matter towards the end of the deletion process (which in my opinion made the article easily pass [[WP:3REFS]]/[[WP:GNG]]) means the process shouldn't have been closed so early, before the previous voters had had a chance to look at the new source and re-assess their votes based on that new information. This is the [https://collider.com/best-youtube-animation-channels/ source] I'm talking about, for your reference. Additionally, the only vote cast after I brought that new coverage up was an unfortunate case of [[WP:WIKIHOUNDING]]. I pointed this out in the discussion, but the vote was nonetheless not stricken, instead, another user felt motivated to post a "[[WP:AGF]] Level 2 warning" on my talk page[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A101.50.250.88&type=revision&diff=1045994821&oldid=1045964134] and falsely claim there was "no reason" to assume Wikihounding[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FHarry_Partridge&type=revision&diff=1045992443&oldid=1045962552], which is very weird considering that if they had actually looked at the evidence as they claimed it's very clear: |
|||
== Question from [[User:AbstractedZach63|AbstractedZach63]] (05:32, 26 December 2024) == |
|||
[[User:MrsSnoozyTurtle]] posted her deletion vote [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Harry_Partridge&diff=prev&oldid=1045960448] a mere minute (!) after posting this on my talk page: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:101.50.250.88&diff=prev&oldid=1045960382] where she even references another discussion ("the exchange below") I was having with another user about the Harry Partridge deletion article. She wasn't "patrolling" AfD's and found the article that way - her most recent edit at an AfD had happened several days earlier: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Justin_Stander&diff=prev&oldid=1045509693] (incidentally this is where our spat originated). It's obvious how she found her way there, that her vote was only motivated by malice, and that she spent no time whatsoever actually looking at the article/sources in question. It seems like a very bold-faced case of Wikihounding and I think it does deserve at least a warning of some kind, if nothing to make it clear to that user that it won't be OK to repeat that behavior. |

How do I make another Wikipedia? --[[User:AbstractedZach63|AbstractedZach63]] ([[User talk:AbstractedZach63|talk]]) 05:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC) |
|||
(If you should feel that I also deserve a warning for incivility I'd accept it, I understand I might have been too "frank" in some cases in the heat of the moment, but I do feel I wasn't worse than the people I was having the spats with, which might be a shitty excuse but there it is) |
|||
:You mean [[WP:FORK|forking Wikipedia]] and creating your own online encyclopaedia? I think you can get a database dump and do that. The bigger question, though, is ''why'' you'd want to. [[User:Ritchie333|<b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b>]] [[User talk:Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)</sup>]] 09:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC) |
|||
If the vote can not be re-opened, I'm wondering if you could help me by pointing out what the best way forward for me would be if I want to give the article at least a chance to be undeleted because I'm somewhat confused by the policy on this. I would be perfectly happy with a completely new vote because I think the last pre-redirect version of the article stood on its own two legs, but it's not clear to me whether this would be allowed. Per [[WP:RENOM]] it seems you should go through [[WP:UND]], and I don't have an issue waiting a month or whatever time would be recommended to do it, but on that page they actually make it clear it's for "restoring pages or files that were uncontroversially deleted via proposed deletion". Would having the article draftified and then submitted through the draft process be a good way forward? Or would it just be considered "out-of-process recreation" and deleted again even if the draft was only let into "articlespace" after being approved by another editor?
