New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Balon Greyjoy,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Six Month Queue Data: Today – 2262 Low – 2232 High – 10271

Shuttle-Centaur

Shuttle-Centaur is languishing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Shuttle-Centaur for want of reviewers. If you could drop by with a few comments, that would be greatly appreciated. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:38, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: I started adding some comments and will come back later for more; I would also appreciate any feedback on the John Young FAC. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 08:58, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request for new charts

Hi Balon! Thanks for making the charts at Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits#Charts in July 2019. Since it's been almost 18 months, would you be willing to make new versions? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 02:26, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A belated apology

Hi Balon Greyjoy, just wanted to drop by to apologize for not getting together the promised review at the John Young FAC. I finally got some time today, and was pleasantly surprised to see it was promoted before I could get to it. Congratulations on the promotion! I look forward to seeing another space article at FAC soon. I hope you're staying well and you've had a restful holiday. All the best, Ajpolino (talk) 21:34, 27 December 2020 (UTC) @Ajpolino: I appreciate it! Please don't ever apologize for being off Wikipedia; dare I suggest there are more important things than volunteering your time to reviewing someone's article on a free encyclopedia. I hope you are having a good (but unfortunately socially distanced) holiday as well! Balon Greyjoy (talk) 18:52, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Edwin Foresman Schoch

Dear Sir: I take the liberty to contact You, an highly qualified Wikipedian with relevant competence in aerospace history, to draw Your attention to an article draft that I (an Italian 61 years old and a total newbie in Wikipedia) have recently submitted.

Even though I could have published the article by myself, I preferred to submit it to the «Article for Creation» process, and in fact previous reviewers gave me the opportunity to improve the draft further.

In a couple of weeks another honor - the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross - will be bestowed upon Edwin Foresman Schoch, a well-noted test pilot dead in 1951 on his 35th birthday while investigating metal fatigue issues affecting the McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee.

About the relevance of Ed Schoch, it suffice to Google for:

About my draft, it was thoroughly researched, with 28 selected references cited. I'm in contact with Ed Schoch's son and I had access both to unpublished and published information - that I duly and extensively cited.

After being initially declined, my draft was extensively reworked. I wonder whether You are in the position to approve it for publication, and whether you deem that it may be published.

Here is the link: Draft:Edwin Foresman Schoch

I am submitting this very same request to a few selected Wikipedians in the hope to get the article published before mid-January, when Governor Cuomo is expected to sign the bestowal act of the Conspicuous Service Cross to Ed Schoch.

Many thanks for Your attention, all the best and an happy 2021!

April 12 TFA

I am hoping this will resolve the pending TFA conflict with dementia with Lewy bodies on July 21; see Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Space Shuttle. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:54, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

John Young (astronaut)

Hi,

Thank you very much for the work you've done to make John Young (astronaut) a Featured Article. However, I was surprised to see you use the same element a lot of times, and then I understood you were just citing the book as a whole. I've noticed that when you use a book as a source, you just cite the book, but not the page(s), in opposition to most articles, such as Charles Duke. Could you please do it. Thank you very much !

Calvinsky (talk) 11:13, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I've actually just seen that you've put the pages numbers after the reference number in the text, so it's fine. Of course it would be better that each page used is put as a single reference, but it's ok. -- Calvinsky (talk) 07:05, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
