Meredith Kessler edit
Earlier this month you made a request for help on on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, because a single purpose account (SPA) kept removing content from the article on Meredith Kessler, because he/she does not favor having this article subject having content showing that they have been convicted of a crime. We have both posted various warnings on the SPA's talk page, but he/she carries on reverting.
Please could explain why this content should be retained in the article at Talk:Meredith Kessler.-- Toddy1 (talk) 00:29, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- At this time my argument would be the one you have cited on the other party's talk page, that being Wikipedia is not censored. The information maintains a neutral point of view and no undue weight is given to the subject. I'd be happy to engage in a discussion on the article's talk page and consider sound reasons for its exclusion. BarkeepChat 04:43, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- The single purpose account is edit-warring. He/she can be blocked for that if he/she keeps it up. One of the questions asked at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring asks the person reporting to provide evidence of an "attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page". So please post something at Talk:Meredith Kessler.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:10, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Mass article deletion edit
Hi Barkeep. Just a notification in case you weren't aware, several thousand sports articles have been nominated for deletion. Please read more at User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/Guidelines. I noticed an article you worked on at Nikki Butterfield was among those proposed for deletion so thought you may have an interest in cleaning up other articles. There is no triathlon specific list yet but I'm sure you could request one. Thanks! SFB 21:48, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Sioux City Iowa Page edit
I think that the fact that this city is one of the few cities in the United States that operates speed cameras on interstate highways and derives a sizable part of the city budget from them is an interesting fact about the city. I added a citation for this to make it more in the style of wikipedia and also added a link to the wikipedia page for the camera company where more information about the corruption scandals around the company is found. This plus the cited FBI pages makes this an interesting part of the page on this city. The listed sources would provide a useful starting point for research around this if anyone is interested. I see no point in burying it. I think that in the context of wikipedia current information about the city is appropriate with sources and multiple points of view is better and more informative than simply avoiding the topic because some people may prefer more of a promotional all positive piece on this town and what a great place it is to move their business to. That's how this page has read for some time. Bottom line -- better to present multiple points of view and sources around controversial aspects than to hide them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.38.205 (talk) 21:50, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- The additional reference still does not support the statement "Sioux City is well known as one of the few municipalities that operates speed cameras on interstate highways, generating a large fraction of city revenue from out of state motorists." You've also ignored requests to discuss the addition of this material on the article's talk page before inclusion. BarkeepChat 04:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Answer edit
I don't want to make any war with you. You can read on the page of the book to which I have given the link that in 1990 NASA planned to carry out modernization of "Shuttle" in the sense to install engines of orbital maneuvering not on supertoxic components. That is, to do what was done on the Soviet "Shuttle". But she didn't for some reason. I'll stand by my opinion. Also I do not understand why you began to erase my second addition. You do not like that 2 times out of 135 flights "Shuttle" made a return? But it's just a fact. This return option greatly weighted the spacecraft and reduced its payload. Here I also remain in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Россиянин2019 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

"Categorisation of long-term insurance business for corporation tax purposes in the United Kingdom" listed at Redirects for discussion edit
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Categorisation of long-term insurance business for corporation tax purposes in the United Kingdom. Since you had some involvement with the Categorisation of long-term insurance business for corporation tax purposes in the United Kingdom redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so.

New page reviewer granted edit
Hi Barkeep. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. signed, Rosguill talk 15:56, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020 edit
Hello Barkeep,
- 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
- There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
- A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
- A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
- A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
- 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.

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice edit
Hi Barkeep, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020 edit
Hello Barkeep,
- 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 edit
Hello Barkeep,
- 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.

| 9 | Hughesdarren (talk) | 4,520 | Patrol Page Curation |
| 10 | Utopes (talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
- 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.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give ITU World Triathlon Series a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into World Triathlon Series. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

I was correcting a typo on the Euronet Worldwide page and saw an editor (Blackbirdxd) tell an IP editor to F off. That's not what Wikipedia is about and I saw your mention of good faith but wanted to be sure you also saw that other interaction. Thanks.NCMatt45 (talk) 17:55, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
