Many thanks for doing this, It's a shame the WMF couldn't of been a bit more clearer in the first place but anyway your version is very much appreciated so thank you :),

WTF

Special:Contributions/95.250.232.217 he is vandalist scandalist dadaist, not I! WTF!!!

(edit conflict) @Jampal abhrishek: Both of you were edit warring about, of all things, the sandbox. You removed the header with a "please leave". Then you called the IP "scum" in an edit summary and left an unwarranted level 4 warning. He's been blocked, you get a warning. Bellezzasolo Discuss 13:45, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
He deserved IT, I proofed minimalist design of header, simple. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jampal abhrishek (talkcontribs) 13:47, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Jampal abhrishek, The bot reverts it, so it really wasn't an issue. However, when such a conflict arises, the best thing to do is back off, give a calm warning if something really wrong is happening, and go to WP:ARV if it continues. What not to do is edit war and engage in Incivility, which just tends to inflame matters. Bellezzasolo Discuss 13:52, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Sound advice. I've blocked the account as a Wikinger sock. The IP, FYI, is WP:LTA/SBT. Please have a read. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:49, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Zzuuzz, When two LTAs meet, huh? Battle of the Bastards. Bellezzasolo Discuss 22:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
You know it's a funny thing. This SBT LTA has been going strong for many years, mainly without too many incidents. Yet most of the time I have to go cleaning up after them is after they've been poked by some other LTA. And for the record, Special:Contributions/185.12.13.20 was a Wikinger joe-job mixed in. Anyway the SBT is mostly harmless if they're not being poked. I just think awareness of this individual is a good thing. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:29, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Ping

Hi, I was going to, but revision delete has this weird thing where if it's the current revision, it doesn't work, so I was waiting on the comment to be reposted :) TonyBallioni (talk) 20:12, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Carlos Maza

Hello, I have removed Stephen Crowder incident because it has no significance and furthermore is assembled in a biased manner, where it is uncertain who has evaluated Crowder as Racist/Homophobic, apart from Maza himself. The body of material which inspired Maza's accusations proves no Racial/Sexual discrimination, especially in the context where MAZA openly calls himself gay. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.56.220.5 (talk) 11:24, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Your advice on Zava article

Hi, Nathaniel. You've reviewed my article George McVeagh and since you are: a) an experienced Wikipedia editor, b) from the UK - I decided to ask for your advice on Draft:Zava. It is a properly stated conflict of interest contribution currently being reviewed. It is my first article on telemedicine and I would appreciate your advice on whether something could/should be improved. It has been reviewed by doomsdayer520 who left very helpful comments at the article's talk page, but I would also like to hear your suggestions. Thank you in advance! Peter. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

  • Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
  • The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist.

    Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

 

Hello Bellezzasolo,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
  • Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
Not English
  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Ethnic relations in India

Hello, I'm sorry, I didn't give a proper explanation for the edit, I've recently experienced racist slurs myself, stereotypical comments at my ethnicity so it difficult for me to accept that line. But it just instinctive of me to delete it and it is fine if you want to keep it there — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.18.51.221 (talk) 18:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

(created section heading) No worries. I don't particularly know India, given that I'm British (I also am in a minority). However, as far as Wikipedia policies go, that statement is sourced, and is far outweighed by coverage of discrimination. A balanced article covers all points of view, with DUE weight. Whenever you're on the receiving end of a racist slur, it does make you feel like everyone else is against you. However, generally, the vast majority of people don't harbor those views!
For me, my main concern at the moment isn't that a huge number of people are racists, but rather, don't care enough about racism. Bellezzasolo Discuss 11:15, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 9

New Page Review newsletter November 2019

 

Hello Bellezzasolo,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.

Getting the queue to 0

There are now 809 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.

Coordinator

Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.

This month's refresher course

Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.

Tools
  • It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
  • It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
Reviewer Feedback

Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.

Second set of eyes
  • Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
  • Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
Arbitration Committee

The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

Community Wish list

There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

New Page Review newsletter December 2019

 

Reviewer of the Year
 

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

Redirect autopatrol

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2020).

  Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
  • The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

  Technical news

  • Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
  • When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [1]

  Arbitration

  • Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Confused contributor

Hello Bellezzasolo.

I am editing the page:

Jack Churchill (1880–1947)

I wrote 4 paragraphs but have not published it.

I have a conflict of interest, so I was hoping you could advise me/help me/direct me.

The info is good and I can cite some sources for the science aspect of it, but the core info is publicly available (behind a paywall though).

How should I proceed?

Are you also Yorkshire Lad?

I thought R was confusing !

thank-you,

Julian

Julian Spencer-Churchill, Hi, a paywall isn't an issue at all. Just as we allow offline sources, the point is that somebody can verify it, not necessarily everybody.
No, but I know Yorkshire Lad from university!
Having a look at the section you've written on the talk page, it currently looks like original research, which isn't allowed. Mostly, secondary sources are desired. So that really needs to be picked up by some independent source researching the (Spencer-)Churchill family's history.Bellezzasolo Discuss 08:51, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

 

Hello Bellezzasolo,

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
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.

69.121.181.163 and Green Goblin.

I got confused too. He is turning one article into a redirect, and then copying the content to the other article that used to redirect back. Shouldn't he be doing a Wikipedia:Requested moves? I tried to point him that way on my talk page.--Chuka Chief (talk) 21:28, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Chuka Chief, Yeah, I initally saw a circular redirect. Looking through the talk page, they tried a similar thing at the beginning of January, over at Vulture (Marvel Comics). Which suggests the same person editing, so probably wise to up the warning level somewhat. Bellezzasolo Discuss 21:31, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

I just remembered that this is a WASTE OF TIME AND I CAN'T TYPE TO SAVE MY LIFE. You guys probably are the reason most wouldn't donate money to Wikipedia when they're asked. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to stop wasting my time here because It's my day off. Also what was wrong with Adrian Toomes having his own page or even Big Boss (Metal Gear) being Naked Snake instead (partially due to Venom Snake). 69.121.181.163

69.121.181.163, There's a reason for this policy - copyright attribution, which is a legal requirement, and also a big issue in terms of editing. There's a special move tool if you Create an account and make some contributions. Otherwise, you can go through Requested Moves, as previously suggested. It may seem a bit offputting, but there are very good reasons for things being the way they are. And you can always pop over to the Teahouse for advice, if anything seems confusing.

Hello Bellezzasolo. User:Bellezzasolo/Scripts/arb.js currently does not allow editors to add a GS notice for the newly authorized general sanctions regarding COVID-19. Could you update the script so that it includes the new GS as well? Best, MrClog (talk) 21:50, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

April Fools Jokes

Hi, Please avoid jokes such as the one you made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,
I'm all for having banter and having a laugh but people in the world have lost ones over the virus and I'm pretty damn sure they wouldn't appreciate seeing the virus being made fun of,
Given the virus is still continuing it's very distasteful to make jokes on it especially on a widely visited and used platform such as this one.
Thanks. –Davey2010Talk 13:47, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

 

Hi Bellezzasolo, 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

 

Hello Bellezzasolo,

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

Elma S. Beganovich

Dear Bellezzasolo,

Thank you for your recent comments. I would respectfully request that you investigate Elma's academic credentials and client list. She has misrepresented herself to my company, and after having lost a substantial amount of money, I would like to prevent others from sharing my experience.

I hope you can appreciate that I must remain anonymous, given multiple legal threats that I, my colleagues, and other clients have received.

Thank you and best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.252.153.28 (talk) 23:49, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Updates to Bellezzasolo Bot's outdated usergrouplist task

Hello, Bellezzasolo! I've been using UserHighlighter for a while now, but I noticed that the user groups on Bellezzasolo Bot were no longer being updated. I was wondering when these lists could be updated, since they seem to be really stale (over a month old) and no longer reflect the actual groups of most users.

When you've updated them, please tell me if you can. Thanks a lot! Chlod (say hi!) 02:25, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Just bumping this, since the lists seem to be outdated again. Chlod (say hi!) 12:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Chlod, Should be solved now. It turned out that Microsoft had overridden python in my PATH, so the script wouldn't run. Perhaps I need a box running Windows XP... Bellezzasolo Discuss 19:46, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Israel municipalities with possible errors

 

A tag has been placed on Category:Israel municipalities with possible errors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Holland Taylor / Kepler's Dream

Hello -- According to the guidelines, the link is appropriate, and accurate. Do you have an issue with the information or inclusion? What would be comfortable with? Thanks RogerThatOver (talk) 20:20, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

RogerThatOver, Hi, it's just that external links aren't normally put in line with the article - especially not in a section like Filmography. The relevant section is WP:ELLIST. Citiations are fine, but typically should be to reliable secondary sources, which the film's own website is not. I did find an independent source for the addition to the filmography section, like so - [2]. Bellezzasolo Discuss 20:31, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I'd call the film website a reliable source, more so than another source. It appears the other films are linked to wikipedia pages for the films, which seem tertiary sources. In any event, since the goal is to add accurate and more information, shall we create a Kepler's Dream movie page that is then internally linked to the film title in the page? Thanks RogerThatOver (talk) 20:45, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

RogerThatOver, The other film links are indeed internal - the purpose of textual links is for navigation, rather than reference, hence citations being implemented as footnotes.
And yes, the ideal scenario is an independent Draft:Kepler's Dream page, however, any such article has to pass notability guidelines (WP:NFILM). That brings up back to the thrust for secondary sources, since any such article generally needs at least two such sources to be notable. There are a few films on her filmography that don't have independent articles, and that's a perfectly valid state of affairs. But it does look to me like this film might well be independently notable, although I haven't delved into the reliability of these sources... [1][2]
