Leave a message Send an Email New Page Review - newsletter No.2 Hello CAPTAIN RAJU, A HUGE backlog We now have 816 New Page Reviewers! Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October. Hitting 17,000 soon The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work! It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000. Second set of eyes Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten. Abuse This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry. Coordinator election Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

The content is well researched and backed up by several News portals. Make sure that you understand about what you are commenting on and also try to perceive the words advertising / promotion before using them randomly. Please don't waste valuable time of other contributors by unnecessarily writing on their talk page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Watermermaid (talk • contribs) 12:27, 5 February 2017 (UTC) @Watermermaid: If you want to try to have the content restored, take it to the article talk page and identify at least one source that demonstrates encyclopedic value that doesn't violate WP:NOT and WP:BLP. As for the advertising and promotion, I agree that your spaming of dezzain.com looks very problematic. If CAPTAIN RAJU hadn't already left you a notice, I would have left one that clearly indicated you are at risk of a block. --Ronz (talk) 16:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC) Vertigo Bird Hi, I'm trying to edit a new official page with all info under a name Vertigo Bird as I'm working for the company.

I just wanted to mention that while I agree with your edits to A Good American, ordinarily the "in use" template should be respected when it is on a page, to avoid edit conflicts. Thanks, Coretheapple (talk) 18:17, 5 February 2017 (UTC) Hi,Coretheapple. I have seen in use tag.But I've Edit A Good American article because,I've tried to improve A Good American article.Thanks.CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 20:51, 5 February 2017 (UTC) Oh yes, I understand that, and I appreciate your edits. For instance I agree that the page needed to be retitled. But there was no rush about it, and the "no use" tag is just a polite request to hold off on edits for a short period of time. That's all.

Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Problems The block log sometimes showed blocks as being much longer than they were. This has now been fixed. [1] Changes this week Wikimedia pages will now be better at showing pictures when you share them on social media. The descriptions will be different too. You can see an example of before and after. [2] There are some changes to the OOjs UI. Some old functions will not work anymore or not work as they used to. This could be a breaking change. [3] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 February. It will be on all wikis from 9 February (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 7 February at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join. Future changes Tidy will be replaced later this year. Instead, the HTML 5 parsing algorithm will be used to clean up bad HTML in wikitext. This will cause problems on a number of wikis. They need to be fixed first. You can see if your wiki still has something to fix here for one of the HTML problems. This list does not cover all problems. You can read about more problems.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles. A tag has been placed on User talk:Citizen live news requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://achlivetv-malayalam.android.informer.com/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. 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 removed 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.

The changes I made were in line with the factual information I have at my disposal about this personality's life. I own most of his works. I felt if I contributed to this page, I would be able to benefit others by sharing this information. For instance, I changed "Kawthari moved to Cairo . . ." to "Kawthari fled to Cairo". The reason is that after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, many Turkish Muslim scholars had to flee for their life from the new secular regime who wanted to incarcerate them. Both he and the Shaykh al-Islam fled Turkey and would eventually settle in Egypt. Hope this helps you understand the changes I have made. Hope also to see your beneficial contributions as well.

Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed. Still a MASSIVE backlog We now have 816 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced. If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire. Discuss this newsletter here. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list.
