FWIW, I thought the edit this user did was so egregious that it deserved a harsher response. Keep up the good work. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:50, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Please be careful with Reflinks

Hi Neko-chan! I noticed that you did a lot of work with Reflinks on January 20. Looking at them very quickly, I see that many of them have invalid values in the author and/or date fields:

• Women in music (e.g. 1911 date)
• Winning streak (sports) (e.g. 1961 date, page numbers/dates in author field)
• Wild Water Kingdom (e.g. date in author field)
• Velocity (JavaScript library) (e.g. code in author field)
• Irumbu Kuthirai (e.g. comment in author field)
• Kris Aquino filmography (e.g. 2012 date for 2013 post)
• Gorillaz (e.g. time in author field)
• Vaanchinathan (e.g. archiveurls in url fields)
• University of Texas School of Law (e.g. 1983 date)
• Shawn Johnson (e.g. date/time in author field)
• Syd Arthur (e.g. date in author field)

Could you please go back and fix these, and please check all your Reflinks edits in the future? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 14:51, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

undo edit of Naji al Jurf citation

Hi Neko-chan,

I'm confused why you reverted my edit removing what I strongly believe is a bad citation on Naji_al_Jurf

The text wanting a citation is: "Daesh (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the murder that very night. This organization also claimed responsibility for the murder of two of his colleagues, beheaded in early November 2015 in Şanliurfa, Turkey. "

The citation provided is a link to: http://www.newsfultoncounty.com/world/news/235773-turkey-3-suspects-held-in-sanliurfa-police-murder-case This article make a single reference to Daesh (ISIL), claiming that Daesh is believed to be responsible (not having claimed responsibility) for the murder of several policemen. Najji al-Jurf was a journalist, as were his colleagues. Furthermore, the article cited was published in July 2015, while the events that need citation support happened in November and December of 2015 (four and five months after the article was written).

Can you help me understand why you feel this is a legitimate citation that backs up the claim made in the article?

Thanks, alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexshepard99 (talk • contribs) 06:54, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Dab pages

Please note that "may refer to" is the standard throughout Wikipedia, although other variations do appear on WP:MOSDAB. Please don't change dab pages from this form of words. Thanks. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:16, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Undo edit of Naji al Jurf

Hi Neko-chan,

I have been exceedingly patient as I await a response to my question of why you undid my edit back in February. I see my comments have been now been moved to your archive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Neko-chan/Archive_2#undo_edit_of_Naji_al_Jurf_citation

Can you please help me understand your perspective? I'm trying really hard to assume good faith but when my contributions are removed and my requests for information and clarification are ignored, I begin to lose faith in the wikipedia community.

Thanks, Alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexshepard99 (talk • contribs) 21:42, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Removing spaces in citation templates

Hi, please don't remove spaces between the parameters in citation templates. If you edit on some mobile devices, such as an iPad, completely unspaced wikitext doesn't line-wrap, so the whole edit window shrinks, making editing very difficult. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:29, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

no wp:self published source

Per the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_46#Piero_Scaruffi_-_Final_Verdict_on_using_him_as_a_source_in_reviews there's a very clear consensus here that Scaruffi is not to be used as a source in music/album articles in any capacity. So please, do not add his opinions anymore. It is a wp:self published source. Since this is a long running dispute, any contributor warned by the situation and who doesn't respect it, would encounter sanctions and could be blocked from editing. Thanks. You've been informed because you used this source here. Woovee (talk) 01:22, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Flag

Hi, Neko-chan.
I've noticed that you are an AfC reviewer but don't yet have the New Page Reviewer flag. Would you please consider heading over to PERM and requesting it? (check the flag requirements HERE)
As part of a larger plan to increase cooperation between New Page Patrol and Articles for creation, we are trying to get as many of the active AfC reviewers as possible under the NPR user flag (per this discussion). Unlike the AfC request list, the NPR flag carries no obligation to review new articles, so I'm not asking you to help out at New Page Patrol if you don't want to, just to request the flag.
Of course, if it is something you would be interested in, you can have a look at the NPP tutorial. Please mention that you are an active AfC reviewer in your application.
Cheers and thanks for helping out at AfC, — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 06:36, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hello Neko-chan. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:48, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Husky Superior Refinery

Hey, do you mind if I edit your draft directly? -- kewlgrapes (talk, contribs) 00:58, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

• @Kewlgrapes: by all means! go for it --~ฅ(ↀωↀ=)neko-chan^nyan 01:22, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Okay, I added some text to the introduction about the refinery's prior owners and added some national sources for today's incident. Let me know if you see any issues. I think the article is looking good! I have a friend who lives in Duluth (don't worry, he's safe!), and I'm going to see if he got any pictures of the smoke. I'm sure he'd be willing to upload them for the article if he got any. -- kewlgrapes (talk, contribs) 04:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Neko-chan, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

• WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 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.

Deletion tags

• Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

• A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

• There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

• Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

• The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
• Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

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, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

• Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
• The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.
