--Lajmmoore (talk 19:43, 30 March 2024 (UTC) via MassMessaging

Thank you for Margaret Whyte and Lucy Morice edits

I can't believe I used the 'passed away' phrase already!! I am going to have to try hard to remember not to do that :) I was going to make a disambiguation page for Margaret Whyte, but I got part way through the process, while consulting various info pages about them, and stopped because I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do and I wanted to ask about it. So it was good to see how you just added the link to the other Margaret Whyte page. I am glad I didn't make the page. AdaWoolf (talk) 07:09, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

No problem. You are doing a great job. I see the new articles from Australia and also about women nearly every day, so check on a number of things. I generally add hatnotes as I did for Margaret, but when there are too many, like 3 or 4, a dedicated page is better. I am generally reluctant to move the original holder from the page as there may be many incoming links that would all need to be updated. Many thanks for your contributions.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Oronsay,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Joseph Falson moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Joseph Falson. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and he does not meet the criteria. I am moving to a draft rather than nominating for deletion. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ldm1954 (talk) 00:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Names

Hi @Oronsay, I have a question for you about names and page titles.

I have read the WIR Primer section about choosing a name. But I now I am trying to work out the best way to apply it. I am editing a page of a 20th century hockey player and coach whose page is currently called May Campbell. She was born May Pearce, and used that name for her early hockey career playing for her state and the Australian team. She was part of a family that had six hockey playing sisters and they were referred to as the 'Pearce sisters' in the papers. Then she got married in 1943 and the papers started saying 'May Campbell, better known as May Pearce' and then in 1980 when she was made an MBE she was listed as 'Mrs May Emma Campbell' And there is an award named in her honour called the 'May Campbell medal'. There is a redirect for May Pearce, and I created a redirect called May Pearce Campbell.

My questions are:

• Do you think the primary page should stay at 'May Campbell' or do you think that 'May Pearce Campbell' is a good option? I would prefer the latter, because I feel like it incorporates the records of her early achievements with her later achievements. But what are your thoughts?
• In terms of formatting the starting sentence it is currently:
  • May Emma Campbell (née Pearce) MBE (2 November 1915 – 16 February 1981) was a...

But should the (née Pearce) be in brackets? I have seen people also link the née, or add the (née pearce) to the bold section. What are your preferences? Would you put the middle name in here?

AdaWoolf (talk) 23:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

@AdaWoolf, MC has occupied that name since 2008. I think the page is fine where it is, particularly now that you have created a redirect from MPC to it. It would be more likely for the article to be moved to MC (hockey), like the MC (rugby union) article. That may happen if another MC gets a bio. Formatting thoughts to follow. Oronsay (talk) 03:33, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Okay great. Good to know that you also consider how long a page has been under that name, I didn't think about that. Thanks. AdaWoolf (talk) 20:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

@AdaWoolf: I've sent you an email with more thoughts. Oronsay (talk) 00:10, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #626

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2024-05-06.
Translations are available.

Discussions

• Reminder: the period for feedback on the Wikidata Query Service graph split ruleset closes on 15-May-2024. More information here!

Events

• The Wikimedia Hackathon 2024 took place in Tallinn, Estonia. Wikimedians from all over came together to hack on a huge variety of topics, including Wikidata and Wikibase topics. See the entire Program
• International Museum Day 2024 on Wikimedia: Take part in the translation, media, and data challenges!
• Registration for Wiki Workshop 2024 is now open! The event will be virtually held on *June 20, 12:00-18:30 UTC
• Coordinate Me 2024 is an international Wikidata competition taking place over the month of May. This year, the focus is on enriching or creating Wikidata items with the Property: Coordinate Location (P625). To participate, enroll on the dashboard to ensure your edits are tracked.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

• Papers: MisgenderMender - A community-informed approach to interventions of misgendering.
• Videos
  • Intro to Wikidata Query Service - hosted by User:Gnoeee, this comprehensive video will equip newcomers to Wikidata with the skills to effectively start querying Wikidata.
  • Siobhan Leachman, NZ Citizen Scientist and Wikipedian - CitSciOz23 Keynote Speaker, this prolific editor discusses her passions and workflows for contributing and enriching Wikidata on topics as diverse as women scientists, scientific illustrators, artworks and citation data, moths and more.
  • WikiSearch from Wikibase Data - Wout Geveart shows how the WikiSearch extension is using Wikibase data to explore and visualise the data in new ways.

Tool of the week

• Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13.
