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.

Draft:Tendencia ( band)

I am sorry, but I think you wrong about the reliability of the draft I have on submission. I think the page about Tendencia ,the cuban band is reliable to have a page on wikipedia. Please consider the sociocultural reality of Cuba, the countrt of the band,and consider the links with other wikis --Kubanische (talk) 21:31, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Kubanische Hi, thanks for creating this article. I know this article is available on German Wikipedia. However, English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia are not the same. i just request to you make this article to natural and including more reliable, again submit. Thanks~ Nocturnal^talk 21:47, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Asalam o alikum

Hey Nocturnal306 hope you're great one or two administrators have fixed the page but it needs to be reviewed can you ? as Main protection admin of the page told me you need to contact someone who is familiar with that region , as this page is of an actor who's drama suno chanda was popular in India and Pakistan. hope you will review this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Nabeel_Zuberi .Memon KutianaWala (talk) 10:26, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Nocturnal306. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 02:03, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. :) Thanks for coming around. -- Yae4 (talk) 22:34, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Just putting the above back again, in light of the block. It's apparently and even tougher job than I thought! -- Yae4 (talk) 03:20, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Orphan question

I see that you added the Orphan tag to the CNVi article. How many articles need to be linked to it for it to not be considered an orphan? The articles on Goldmont Plus and Coffee Lake already link to CNVi and also Template:Intel technology. At least 5 articles? Is there a specific rule? - xpclient ^Talk 15:35, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Xpclient, see WP:ORPHAN. One is enough. Also, the template doesn't count as one, it counts as however many other pages it has. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 03:51, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@Usedtobecool and Xpclient:, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a reply from Nocturnal306. -- Yae4 (talk) 03:58, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Yae4, yeah, I know. I had this on watchlist since I encountered a suspicious NPP approve by Nocturnal. Seeing as how the user is now blocked, thought I should answer. We might have to recheck all their NPP and AFC reviews too. Oh, and perhaps they should be removed from AFC as well? Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 04:05, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Nishat Nawar Salwa

Hello, Nocturnal306. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Nishat Nawar Salwa".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Lapablo (talk) 20:49, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Nocturnal306,

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

• There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
• A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
• A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
• A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

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.

NPP Award for 2019

		For over 100 article reviews during 2019. Thank you for patrolling new pages and helping us out with the backlog! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:17, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2019. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are almost caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply to let us know not to send you any more. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:17, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
