Question from RushingGold (17:34, 1 January 2024)

Hi @Estar8806, I have another question. It is this that why VPN addresses have been blocked from editing. Not everybody is using a VPN from that IP address. VPN are good so why then no editing for VPN users. I'm asking you because unfortunately, I couldn't find a page talking about this. --RushingGold (talk) 17:34, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi again @RushingGold!

VPNs tend to be problematic as vandals can hide behind a changing IP address. Because of thus, all VPNs are blocked and unfortunately registered and unproblematic users are caught in them. For more information, you can read WP:Open proxies. Hope this helps! estar8806 (talk) ★ 03:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I have spent the past two hours trying to find a way to correct a major error as follows.

Question from RushingGold (16:46, 14 January 2024)

Hi Estar8806, as you know, I wanna contribute to Wikipedia and when you want to contribute to Wikipedia, you need to edit articles, in which you need cite form other sources to show that what the article is showing is correct. So, I wanted to cite to show that what the article is showing is correct but it was so confusing like how to put those numbers in for citing, showing date for my citing and understand these codes like I was so confused, I was like "I need to talk with you". Please, I wanna contribute but citing stuff is so hard and confusing. The help page from Wikipedia about citing was too long and complicated, I didn't read it. I made edits on Jack Grealish, Darwin Núñez and many. I gave their pronunciation without any citing by thinking that it would be understood without any citing. Unfortunately, that wasn't case and I got warning strike and doing like this more will result that I'll get blocked. So, Estar8806, please help me how to cite, because without citing stuff, my edits will be doubted about its reliability and I'll soon be blocked from editing from Wikipedia. Plus, I am sorry if this is very long and not-understandable, I sometimes talk like that for some reason. --RushingGold (talk) 16:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi @RushingGold,

The easiest way to cite something would be to find one of relevant the citation templates (eg. {{Cite web}} {{Cite book}}, etc) and fill in the relevant information. estar8806 (talk) ★ 16:58, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, nice of you to offer help! I am trying to create a page Draft:MAPHEUS to describe a sounding rocket program run by the German Aerospace Center. I think it merits mention, given that wikipedia has similar pages such as Rexus/Bexus or Maser (rocket). However my submission was declined. Do you have suggestions how I can improve the article. (I wanted to submit it without polishing it forever as a draft, so that others can also help contributing.) --Fabrica.de.colores (talk) 18:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

@Fabrica.de.colores It looks like your submission was declined due to a lack of WP:RELIABLE WP:SECONDARY sources. I would suggest finding some to support the content of the draft. estar8806 (talk) ★ 19:12, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I thought so. Would you mind having another look, since I've just edited my draft a bit? Thank you! Most sources are from German Aerospace Center, which I regard as a reliable source. I do work for them, so I've declared COI in my author page. I've also added a scientific publishing outlet as a reference now. Fabrica.de.colores (talk) 19:18, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Estar8806,

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.
