Hi

You mean like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gumshoe97 Gumshoe97 (talk) 01:00, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

my name isn't displayed on the list of users looking to be adopted. Gumshoe97 (talk) 01:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also i would be perfectly fine if you adopted me, because only sometimes I need some help, and you seem great at providing it! Gumshoe97 (talk) 01:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

speciesbox Foleyola billotii

Hullo. This is a follow-up from the question I asked in the Teahouse. There is now a page in english https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foleyola_billotii . The speciesbox is a mess. From the pages you and colleagues directed me to, I think that page with the title "Template:Taxonomy/Foleyola" is needed to link the genus to the Brassicaceae taxonomy. However I have no idea how to do this! If you can, excellent. You will also note that there is an error for one of the references because it doesn't have a title. I havn't yet managed to find it but it must be somewhere and I'm still looking for it. If you can work out how to do a speciesbox, that would be great.MerielGJones (talk) 22:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MerielGJones: Moved your message to the bottom of the page, hope you don't mind. Makes it easier to find it back. And yes, a taxonomy template for the genus needs to be created if it doesn't exist yet, which seems to be the case here. Can do so for you no worries. If needed, I'll help you hunt down the stray reference in a bit, too. AddWittyNameHere 22:48, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Theodor Gottlieb von Scheven

Greetings AddWitty. Thankyou for your summary on the talk page and for the additions. Early workers present a problem since you can no longer ask a generation of entomologists with a fund of knowledge for help as traditional taxonomy has lost favour and resource.They are sadly no longer like Scheven himself.Thanks to your effort he is no longer lost and starting to appear through the mist.Very best regards Robert Nash FRES aka Notafly (talk) 14:46, 29 December 2019 (UTC) PS Somethings have (greatly) improved though Here is Der Naturforscher at[reply]

Hey there, Notafly! You're quite welcome, and yes, other than a handful of Big Names, early naturalists/entomologists are easily forgotten, often overlooked and remarkably difficult to find good resources on. Not helped by most such resources not having been digitalized yet (though at least Der Naturforscher has scans available) and often languishing in the back of university archives, making them quite difficult to access. I had seen the scans of Der Naturforscher. I certainly intend to use those, but well...non-searchable scans in antique typesetting are going to take some work to use. Not exactly helped by them being in 2.5-century-old German, either. (My German is fairly decent, but it still takes more effort than a source in modern-day English or Dutch, or even modern-day German ) Did you happen to come across any other resources not yet in the article? May as well take a look at those too. AddWittyNameHere 17:51, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Naturforscher Halle (Scheven in good company)

There is no account in English that I can find of this clearly very significant journal of the German enlightenment .So I will begin a stub including a list of contributors (B-G entomologists alone are Nikolaus Joseph Brahm, Johann Stephan Capieux (de wiki), Eugen Johann Christoph Esper, Johann Kaspar Füssli Johann Friedrich Gmelin, Johann August Ephraim Goeze a star galaxy already). I will let you know when I have put an outline together.Notafly (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC) Ps The conchologists, ornithologists and others (botanists perhaps) will be more difficult for me but I will ask former colleagues for any input. Happy New Year Notafly (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Notafly: Yeah, I noticed just upon scrolling through the scans that there were some very notable names connected to it, including Johann Ernst Immanuel Walch (who published Der Naturforscher from 1774-1778) and Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber (same but 1779-1802). Happy to hear you're working on a stub. Lemme know if there's any German sources you'd like an additional pair of eyes on. AddWittyNameHere 00:18, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stub started both John Jacob Gebauer Johann Stephan Capieux (red links) have pages in Wiki de and I will get round to them.Also I will add a bit on the taxonomic description of Der Naturforscher. Very best regards Notafly (talk) 17:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC) PS I have a large (very large) digital book collection. Mostly on Diptera but many general entomology, glossaries and so on. Would you like me to send you a list then a memory stick of chosen items? My e-mail is --[reply]

@Notafly: Thanks for creating some much-needed articles. :) I've taken a look at Der Naturforscher and did some tweaking, but looks good so far! Good to know you've got access to a lot of digital resources. I'll be sending you an e-mail. :) (But I've removed your e-mail address from my usertalk, no need to risk you getting a lot of spam as well.) P.S. You could just enable your e-mail here on wikipedia.

Hi. Short description template should not be capitalized

Hi. Please note that the template for short descriptions is not capitalized. See here: Wikipedia:Short description --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 02:07, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Eloquent Peasant: Could you please point me a bit more specifically at where it says that? I must be overlooking something. Pretty surprised to hear so, too—the template page itself gives as specific example "{{Short description|''Write your short description here''}}", so with starting capital. Furthermore, starting capital/absence thereof is treated as identical by the mediawiki software as far as I am aware. AddWittyNameHere 02:13, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Short_description#Editing_procedures - I see what you're saying in the template, but also the automated tool also adds it as {{short description| xxx}} and I've done a few thousand ... but do whatever you like. I just mentioned it 'cause once when I was using caps on a template and should not have been, someone mentioned it. With this one I see conflicting statements (now).--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 02:23, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Eloquent Peasant: I don't mind you mentioning it, no worries. And yeah, if the main automated tool uses no-caps, then in absence of a clear guideline w/o conflicting info, using no-caps makes sense for consistency's sake. Just was trying to figure out whether this is a case of a hard "no don't do that", in which case I'll be hunting through my recent ~50k edits to find the couple thousand shortdesc ones & fix upper capital if I used it (from a spot check, I seem to have used either version at various points) or more of a soft "well this other way is preferred", in which case I'll be switching to no-caps now but leaving the old ones be. Leaning towards the latter because as far as I can tell, there's no functional difference between them & documentation isn't particularly clear either way due to conflicting info so I doubt anyone will appreciate me making a couple hundred to a couple thousand more-or-less cosmetic edits to fix something that's either a minor issue or not an issue at all. AddWittyNameHere 02:39, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. Take care!--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 02:41, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Eloquent Peasant: Same to you, and thanks for the heads up in any case. :) AddWittyNameHere 02:43, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Patrolling of articles

Hello! Colleague, could you please to patrol this and this articles? Thank you. — Green Zero обг 01:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Green Zero: Someone else seems to have gotten to reviewing Sumitomo Forestry before I've had a chance to look at it. I can take a quick second glance at it if you feel it's necessary, but I presume what matters most to you is that it gets reviewed not who it was reviewed by? I'll take a glance at MobiDev in a bit, though I will admit that business-related pages aren't necessarily my forte. I tend to hang around in other parts of the 'pedia and am as a result more familiar with the nitty-gritty customs and MoS guidelines for those subject areas. That said, I am familiar enough with the more important rules and guidelines I can generally review such a page—it's just not a page I'd likely have picked to review myself. AddWittyNameHere 01:41, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT: Did a first pass & made some changes. I'll be offline for a bit, but once I come back I'll continue. AddWittyNameHere 02:09, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT2: I don't feel particularly confident in my ability to patrol this particular page after looking into it further, and am asking another patroller for advice. AddWittyNameHere 05:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Software companies

I think the article a) does make some genuine claims of notability and b) needs to have about 2/3 of its content removed as promotional.

Something like that, it's quite understandable why you weren't sure. DS (talk) 05:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DragonflySixtyseven: Okay, thank you. That does more or less align with my gut feeling, then. (Suppose it also neatly explains why this one's been lingering in the queue for a while now) Makes me even more hesitant to handle this one, though, since I don't feel confident in my ability to properly separate the genuinely significant notability claims from the promocruft. Any chance you'd be willing to point out what you feel should be removed, or should I simply pass on this one & leave it for either you or someone else to handle? AddWittyNameHere 05:52, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For starters, remove anything sourced to a press release. But yeah, best to leave this for someone else. DS (talk) 06:52, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you. I'll pass that information on to the actual article creator, along with a note that I am leaving this article for someone else. Thank you for your time! AddWittyNameHere 07:22, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lepidoptera genera pages

Hi AddWittyNameHere, you had posted a request on WP:TOL back in late-November about updating the genus pages for Lepidoptera. As the amphibians and reptiles automatic taxobox conversion task is nearing completion, I may be able to assist you now. To that end, what were the parameters you had in mind? How are you tracking your progress? What taxa have been completed and what sources are you relying on? 'Cheers, Loopy30 (talk) 01:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello AddWittyNameHere,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources
Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello AddWittyNameHere,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources
  • A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
  • Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
  • A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
  • Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello AddWittyNameHere,

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.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello AddWittyNameHere,

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. 04:30, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

November 2021 backlog drive

New Page Patrol | November 2021 Backlog Drive
  • On November 1, a one-month backlog drive for New Page Patrol will begin.
