New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello CaptainEek,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

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).

Reminders

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  • Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  • Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Question from SeedAlternativeTea (19:13, 15 January 2024)

hey captain i'm new to this stuff. like ive only ever edited wikipedia like twice at most. how do i get started --SeedAlternativeTea (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SeedAlternativeTea Howdy hello. I have left a message on your userpage with some helpful links you can follow. You can also check out the WP:Task center for a list of things you could do on Wikipedia. If you still have questions, feel free to ask and I'm happy to help.

Question from Jayems gg (14:37, 17 January 2024)

E.g how do i know why my edits are being revoked --Jayems gg (talk) 14:37, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jayems gg You can look at the article history of any article you've edited. So for example, you edited Moai, whose article history is available here [1]. Your edit was undone for this reason: "the source was published in 2023. Before we update to 2024 we need a source from this year saying that moai are still being discovered. And of course details on a Moai discovered in 2024." CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:04, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I need help.

Hi, I am writing an article on a living person, but it got deleted twice. This time, I correct my all mistakes but I still want someone to read that before I submit it. Please tell me in that case: should I publish the article first, then ask you or send it to you here on the talk page??? Humaira28 (talk) 20:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Humaira28 You can create it in draft space or your sandbox, and then it will go through the regular process as before. If you have some targeted questions, feel free to ask, but I can't be too helpful without some more idea of what it is you're trying to do. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Last time when I submitt my article they say its looks like advertisement so this time I wrote with neutral words please see here that is this neutral: "Rachele Focardi (born July 21, 1979) is a global figure in the field of multigenerational workforce dynamics and the future of work. She is one of the six prominent women in HR. She is the founder and CEO of XYZ at work." Humaira28 (talk) 11:31, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I tried to paste it here but it did not paste. Humaira28 (talk) 11:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Humaira28 Having looked at your deleted draft, and seeing your text here, that is not neutral. I know that may seem odd, but Wikipedia has a rather particular style of writing which is much more straightforward and factual than most writing. I wouldn't necessarily say it should be bland, but it certainly shouldn't have buzzwords. Take "global figure." What does that even mean? Its advertising speak. Same thing with "multigenerational workforce dynamics." That could actually be her field, but gosh that sounds like a string of buzzwords, not an actual description of her. Like, is she an author? We need a factual description. Same for "She is one of the six prominent women in HR." According to who? I bet there are way more than six prominent women in the entire field of HR. The body had similar problems. This needs to be written like an encyclopedia, not advertising copy. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 17:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Is this one neutral: Rachele Focardi  (born July 21, 1979) is an Italian author, independent researcher, and public speaker renowned in the field of multigenerational workforce dynamics and the future of work. She is one of the prominent women in HR. (according to ICS Learn Human Resources) She is the founder and CEO of XYZ at work. Humaira28 (talk) 20:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
