New page reviewer granted

Hi DrowssapSMM. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page 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 encyclopedia. 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 or ask via the NPP Discord. 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, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.

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 In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. – Joe (talk) 08:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Recent reversion of Khyber College of Dentistry

Hello, I wanted to talk about your recent reversion of [[Khyber College of Dentistry]. This page shouldn't have been reverted, reasons: Firstly, it redirects to a completely unrelated page, the page it redirects to is the exam conducting body, and it has almost nothing to do with the institution. I'm not sure why you reverted it to something completely inferior.

Secondly, there are hundreds of other wikipedia pages with zero references, which have not been removed, but this, with 3-4 references was removed?

Please reconsider this decision, as the page was providing some value, now it's completely useless. ExoField (talk) 07:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

@ExoField: First of all, saying that "there are hundreds of other wikipedia pages with zero references, which have not been removed, but this, with 3-4 references was removed?" doesn't really help your argument per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just because other articles don't have sources doesn't mean that that article should stay as well. It only used primary sources, which do not count towards notability. Secondly, it does not redirect to a completely unrelated page. As you said, it redirects to the exam conducting body. That, by definition, is a related page. I agree that the page could provide some value, but not without reliable sources. DrowssapSMM 12:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

I understand, I added reliable sources to the page, please review. ExoField (talk) 08:59, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello DrowssapSMM,

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.

about Marina Del Ray

Hi, DrowssapSMM! I have removed the prod tag from Marina Del Ray, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add prod back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

I've just added more information (with a new source) to the article and, since they're playing in my city later on this month, more might be written about them from sources here in my country. Also, I'll take a picture of them myself to post in the article and make it nicer. I hope that suffices. If not, I understand.

Recent editing related to Sukhoi Su-30MKI

Hi, I recently made a new edit in an article of Sukhoi Su-30MKI but I'm not able to add a citation there. I tried all the credible sources but Wikipedia is not letting me to add it. I don't know why is this happening. 2402:8100:386B:C358:AFE8:2503:664E:51D8 (talk) 14:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

AFC: translations lacking required attribution must be speedily declined

Hi, DrowssapSMM. Regarding your AFC approval of François Jackow as noted here (diff): please note that the Jackow article was translated from the French Wikipedia article François Jackow without any translation attribution, as required. Drafts such as this one which are translated from another language Wikipedia and lacking translation attribution as required by Wikimedia's Terms of Use must be speedily declined. You can provide the user a link to WP:CWW for general info about this in the decline notice, and to WP:RIA for how to repair the situation after the fact, so they can resubmit their draft after adding attribution. This was not explained properly in the AFC Reviewing instructions, and I have updated them to make it clearer. Going forward, please check the revision history of any article that looks like it might be a translation, and if there is no translation attribution statement, then it must be speedily declined. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 18:26, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Understood. DrowssapSMM 15:08, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
