New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

edit

Hello Narutolovehinata5,

 

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

 
NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022

Suggestions:

  • There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
  • Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
  • Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
  • This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

 

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hello Narutolovehinata5,

 
New Page Review queue December 2022
Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards
 

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Narutolovehinata5,

 
New Page Review queue April to June 2023

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Join the Wikipedia Asian Month 2023

Dear all,

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2023[1] is coming ! The campaign start within a flexible 30 days from November to December. Following with the changes of the rules made by last year, the wish to have more people get to know Asia and Asian related topic is the same! Click "Here" to Organize/Join a WAM Event.


1. Propose "Focus Theme" related to Asia !

If you are based somewhere in Asia, or have specific passion on an Asian topic, please propose your "Focus Theme" by October 25th. The WAM international team will select 5 themes. Please propose your focus theme through this link[2].

2. Enhancing existing articles can also count as part of campaign contribution.

Any edits, including creating new articles or adding new content to existing articles, over 3000 bytes in total would be able to get a reward. Last year, due to this change of rules, the Programs & Events Dashboard was suggested. However, according to community survey of 2022, Fountain Tool is still the best platform for tracking edit and points. You don’t need to create any Dashboard. For the tracking of editing existing article, the international team is currently designing a form. Will soon publish to the main page of WAM 2023.

3. More flexible campaign time

The contribution duration would remain 30days, but we extended the overall campaign timeline to 2 months. All organizers can decide when to start their WAM as long as the whole duration is within November 1st to December 31th. It means that you can participate in WAM based on the needs of your local community.

Timetable

  • October 1st, 2023 : Publish International Campaign Page of the Year
  • October 5th to 25th, 2023 : Call for focus themes of WAM 2023.
  • Before 29 October, 2023: Complete Registration [3] of Each language Wikipedia.
  • November 1st, UTC 00:00 to December 31th, UTC 00:00, 2023: Running the Campaign. (Find your local campaign for the actual event date.)
  • January 1st to March 15th, 2024: Auditing of each language Wikipedia.
  • March 30th, 2024: Deadline of reporting statistics and eligible editors to the International Team
  • April 1st to May 15th, 2024: The international team distributes Barnstars and Certificates to eligible editors of each event.

For your information, the main page of Wikipedia Asian Month is currently undertaking a reconstruction for archiving purpose. For the 2023 event please bookmarked this page. We hope you will enjoy Wikipedia Asian Month! If you have any inquiry, feel free to contact us by info@asianmonth.wiki [4]. We look forward to your participation.

Cheers!!!

The World Destubathon

edit

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help towards making the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:02, 15 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Stravinsky pictured on his birthday + Vienna pics - but too many who died -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 17 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

We don't speak the same language, it seems, sorry. Comfort ye. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

You can make an attempt at comforting by reverting your striking of ALT0 for him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

The main reason I struck ALT0 is simply because I was putting that hook out of its misery. Even if I unstruck that hook and approved it, it would almost certainly be objected to at WT:DYK on interest or complexity grounds by someone like RoySmith. Even disregarding interest concerns, it's very hard to read and understand. Instead of being attached to that hook or that hook fact, follow the advice and propose a new angle, one that meets DYKINT. Recently, your hooks were criticized at WT:DYK for consistently requiring workshopping. Following the guidelines from the start and proposing hooks that meet DYKINT would prevent long discussions. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:50, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I asked you a little favour and you give me another wall of text. You can propose alternatives, but please without death. Main page readers know already that he died. We do have subjects who are only notable because of their death, but he was not of the kind, and that should be made known. Please paint in brighest colours what a great person he was. I suggest to name the opera house, as extremely brave, running that premiere in spite of the conditions. (As you may have seen, a relative - telling by the surname in the user name - changed the article to it was a car accident, reverted of course because of no reference.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:48, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I'm very sorry Gerda, but as it stands, that particular hook wording would almost be certainly objected to even if I unstruck it. It was struck for a reason, and I suggest moving on from it. Again, my suggestion is for you to propose a new hook, one that meets DYKINT. I am open to a hook about the premiere, but depending on the wording, I may have to revise it for clarity or language reasons. I would rather not propose a new hook myself as I am certain that you would object to whatever I propose. If you cannot propose a broadly interesting hook, then you can just withdraw the nomination. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:53, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yesterday we had a hook mentioning poop and another fuck, and if that's what's considered interesting I am sorry: not my interests. Where did broadness of subjects go? Where openness to topics less known? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:16, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Topics being lesser-known does not mean that a hook has to appeal only to a niche, or must require niche knowledge. In my case, I'm pretty sure that Japanese voice actors and singers are also lesser-known topics, but I don't propose hooks that require knowledge of anime or Japanese culture to appreciate. You can do the same as well. Gorai or König not being well-known is not an excuse to make hooks about them also be as niche as possible. Instead of highlighting facts about them that requires deep knowledge about classical music or opera to understand, highlight a fact that even the average person off the street can appreciate. I understand that you disagree with how DYK interest guidelines work, but that's how DYK works and you have to follow the rules. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:22, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Let me put it this way. You are proposing hooks targeted towards classical music fans and/or opera buffs. DYK is looking for hooks that are targeted towards everyone and not just them. The hooks you propose have a limited audience. DYK is looking for hooks with a wide audience. If you want your nominations to go without a hitch, propose hooks intended for a wide audience and not one that only a limited audience will understand. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 21:50, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I believe that a wide audience will relate to Verdi, Odesa, 3 tenors and Jerusalem, and may find the combination interesting, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:09, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I will be honest: among the names you mentioned, probably the only one that the average person will recognize (not necessarily be familiar with) is Verdi. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:12, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
If more people know Verdi than Jerusalem and Odesa, where current wars happen, I'd be surprised. - As for the 2022 premiere: the opera has an article (not by me) which would be a better way to point at it. There's a great quote by the singer about what it meant for both audience as performers, but too long for DYK, and tough to shorten without changing the meaning. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:21, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I think more people are going to think of "Israel" and "Ukraine" when thinking about wars, rather than specific places like Jerusalem and Odesa. Many people probably wouldn't even know where Odesa was on the map or why it's a big deal unless they were following the news, while Jerusalem is better known as a religious city rather than being associated with war. Again, you may be overthinking what the average reader might get. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:39, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Jerusalem, holy city of three religions, mentioned in that first movement of Messiah - did you listen? "Comfort ye" is like a motto for Handel's whole piece. Anyway, I replied in the nom. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:45, 21 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I have a question for you. Are the performances you highlight in your hooks actually unique, given you like to highlight "unique" aspects about an opera performer? Let's take Klaus König as an example. Is it actually unique that he performed Tannhäuser internationally? Isn't that something that several others have already done so before and after him? What about the Ninth Symphony tenor solo? What makes him different from the probably hundreds of people who have played that role over the years? I don't even think he is the only one to perform that role with Bernstein conducting either. None of those sound unique. I'm not saying he was not talented or accomplished, all I'm saying is that he was doing his job, and it isn't obvious why his particular performance of Tannhäuser, or his performance of the Ninth Symphony, is any special or different from the hundreds of others who have performed them. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:36, 21 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I have little time this weekend, so only one: that performance "for liberty" after the border opened was unique (see story and here, remembered 25 years later), as explained, and he was the tenor chosen one for it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 21 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
While you are welcome to check out my recommendations any day, today offers unusually a great writer of novels, music with light and a place with exquisite food. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:00, 28 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
...that German operatic tenor Klaus König trained as a house painter and decorator before starting his music career?

I really like this! It's a shame you're not receiving any support for it. Viriditas (talk) 21:36, 23 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Reira Ushio

edit

On 9 July 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Reira Ushio, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the limited edition of Reira Ushio's debut EP includes a booklet featuring short stories she wrote? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Reira Ushio. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Reira Ushio), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Today is Bastille Day, commemorated by a 2020 DYK as my "story" and by a visit to the Bastille Opera in "music". I like the interview coming with the story, on the day before the big event, but for pomp and circumstance, the affair with 600 singing children and orchestra, and the singer dressed in the national flag, was also captured on videos, much slower. - I didn't like the DYK for the singer, but it's not bad for the day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:26, 14 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

New article to create for you

edit

Hi @Narutolovehinata5, there is a new article to create about a manga series by Kanari Tokusaku and Soda Muteki serialized in Weekly Young Magazine since February 2023, can you create it? It's Myo-chan Sensei wa Kaku Katariki.

Thanks. Tebus19 (talk) 11:42, 16 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Done. Could you help me expand the character list? I've never read the manga and I had to go by the series' Pixiv page to get any character information. While we're here, since I just created Kaijin Fugeki earlier today, could you also help out in fleshing out the character section and perhaps adding more characters?
