DYK, Macrozamia riedlei

Hi again Vincent, pardon me bothering you, but we were the last to discuss this nomination. There is a problem with the article that you helped me to get on to the DYK. I took a lot of care to improve the content, but an early contributor has created concerns with the article (in my view, obvi). I would like to know how to disassociate myself from the article as DYK worthy, rather than engage with the user again, and focus on creating more content. If I could be bothered I would ask it be withdrawn, but suspect that would also be time consuming and unproductive; I did not (and would not) nominate the article for DYK and have actually held off further expansion to keep it stable and copyedited. All this is not your business, but if you have a clue on how to distance myself from this mire I would greatly appreciate the advice or link to an appropriate forum (for me to gracefully exit). cygnis insignis 21:29, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi there @Cygnis insignis:! Unfortunately I am not good at this myself since I’m quite emotionally affected too. I’m sorry to hear about this since I am inactive lately. Hope you’ll feel better soon but my advice is I guess to just take a wikibreak like me as you can already tell. Thank you so much for your hard work on the article though. Another way I guess is to just ignore them. Withdrawing might be a bad thing but sometimes if you can’t handle it might be something worth letting go. Our in real life is more important anyways. And that is the best lesson I’ve learnt for myself Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 13:54, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, and excuse the distraction from the RL. Your honesty and politeness are valuable assets to the community. I took a long wikibreak (years) and considered what is and isn't important during that time, and there is always other content to be improved when one article becomes bogged down. I been expanding other articles and quite happy doing so, your comments on what to do about this situation have been helpful. Have a prosperous year, cygnis insignis 05:27, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

(watching, see above): at a glance, just let go, don't withdraw, it looks like an article worthy of readers' attention. Look at Ray's Rules (see above), and perhaps something is good for you. Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Vincent60030,

News

• The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

• Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
• {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
• A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
• There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

• NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

• Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
• copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
• The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello Vincent60030,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

• Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
• Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

News

• Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Discussions of interest

• A request for bot approval for a bot to patrol two kinds of redirects
• There has been a lot discussion about Notability of Academics
• What, if anything, would a SNG for Softball look like

AfC

I've accepted a couple of AfC articles that you declined (Waterford Union Workhouse and Hussein Abdo Hamza). Please bear in mind that new articles don't need to be perfect, just reasonably likely to survive AfD and, in the case of BLPs only, with enough reliable sources to pass BLP proposed deletion. The best place to improve articles is always mainspace; in draftspace they just age out and get speedied. Espresso Addict (talk) 12:37, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello Vincent60030,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.
