Hello! How are you? Related to your last review, I want to point out some issues. A month ago, I read the Information style and tone from "Writing better articles", and rewrote my article accordingly. Where are exactly the informal tone you found there? All the entries have a neutral point of view, and refer, as could be seen below in the References, to American, Italian, German, Canadian... independent, reliable and published sources (there is even a publication by The MIT Press!). Where are in the text the peacock terms that you mention?, because I can't find them. Thank you for your attention. Best!

Graphicdreams (talk) 15:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

@Graphicdreams, your issue is  Done. R E A D I N G ^{Talk to the Beans?} 16:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Graphicdreams, I recieved your mail. As per WP:COMMON, Györi’s name is much popular on the web with the diacritic ö and not ő. Best, R E A D I N G ^{Talk to the Beans?}

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello Reading Beans/Archives/2022,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination

MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

Open letter to the WMF

The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

TIP - Reviewing by subject

Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

New reviewers

The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
• If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
• To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Emeka Ilechukwu

I wanted to apologise: Really sorry about that stupid misunderstanding on my part! While we're communicating, can I just add that I struggle with articles on Nigerian personalities because as someone from the Northern hemisphere, I don't know enough about how the Nigerian press works. In previous AfD's, I've also run into problems with people with strings of awards where it's hard to establish whether they're meaningful or not (I had massive stresses over Maureen_Mbondiah_(2nd_nomination)). Elemimele (talk) 17:26, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello!

It’s fine. Sorry for being stressed out. The thing is, some Nigerians (just like every other place) engage in UPE and it takes their editing pattern to find out. It’s quite easy if you pay a little attention to the article. IDK if you understand though. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 03:30, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Ongacious

Hey :) I'm trying to understand what it is you were attempting to do with the move of this page and the subsequent DISPLAYTITLE modification? This page is currently showing up in the category of pages with disallowed DISPLAYTITLEs, as that functionality can't be used to change capitalisation of an article title. Before I go poking things, I just wanted to understand what your expectation with this page was? Cheers! stwalkerster (talk) 22:28, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Stwalkerster, the creator of the article probably wanted to get the name of the shows just as the organisers wrote it. That is what I was trying to do. After I set the DISPLAYTITLE, I thought it would probably take some time to display — I guess, it didn't. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 02:38, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Nah Eeeto

Hello!

Hope you're well friend! You recently put my article Draft:Nah_Eeto into the draft space. However, I feel it meets the music notability criteria and it is adequately sourced. I added one more source too.

She meets WP:Music criteria number 5 and 11. She's been in rotation on NTS, she's worked with Tony Allen. The label she is signed to, Blah Records, is also "an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable".

Sources include in-depth reviews of Tony Allen's album with whole paragraphs on her feature, a mention in the New York Times, several mentions over two paragraphs from Resident Advisor and a few full length interviews from smaller (but respected) publications.

I think that's enough? What do you reckon? Interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks! The Flying Spaghetti Monster! 11:38, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. I’ve accepted the draft. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 12:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Rejecting Draft: Oladele John Nihi Despite Corrections

Hello @Reading Beans, I just wanted to point your attention to the fact that you rejected the draft for the second time even though I used more than 2 weeks to study Wikipedia guides and existing articles which I used as templates for editing and re-submitting the draft. I do not believe that the article in anyway read more like an advertisement as you suggested. Please, kindly take an objective look at it once again. But if you still feel the same way about it, then kindly show me the parts that read more like an advertisement. As for the sources, those are mostly websites of national newspapers and television stations in Nigeria. They are credible, verifiable and more than just passive mentions.

Once again, kindly take an objective look at the article when you're less busy. Thank you for doing a wonderful job on Wikipedia. Hamis The Dream (talk) 10:42, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@Hamis The Dream, tream the subheadings and remove unencyclopaedic sections. The 2011(abi 19) House of Assembly crisis has no need for it there as Wikipedia is not a newspaper to document EVERY thing he has done. His CV can do the job. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 13:00, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Alright. Thanks for the correction. God bless you plenty Hamis The Dream (talk) 13:22, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@Reading Beans You are really good at what you do. I trimmed the article including the subheadings, removed some sections and the article looks neater and better in my eye. Thank you so much for your inputs. I hope to become a very good editor like you one day. Hamis The Dream (talk) 13:39, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

I’m not a very good editor. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 16:43, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Book sources

In this article, you used several sources that I can't verify even exist. Can you please indicate 1.) How you found them and 2.) provide either a link to where you found it or the ISBN or relevant identifier?

• Ernest N. Emenyonu, ed. (2021). "Okongbuwa, Dandy and the lots of them". A Companion to Third Generation Writers in Nigeria. James Currey. pp. 87–90 (88).
• Ojaide, Tanure (2019). Emerging Perspectives in Nigerian Literature (Illustrated ed.). Africa World Press. p. 24.
• Niyi, Osundare (2019). Nigeria's Digital Expedition: The Third Generation Writers. Boydell & Brewer. p. 29.

PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:42, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I found the sources in a library (Crimmd Library) in Lagos during my time there for Aké Arts and Book Festival. Sadly, these books are no longer in my possession. I’ll go ahead and make the sources invisible until I visit there again to get the ISBN (we Nigerians don't usually check these for offline books). Best, Reading Beans (talk) 16:43, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

That's not what I'm asking though - why is it that the two notable authors of those books, don't have said book listed anywhere even though the publishers are also very large, notable publishers themselves and have no record of such books existing? How is a book written in 2019 about an author who didn't publish his self-published works until 2021? PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:53, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

That question should be directed at the publishers... idk. The book talked about the Third Generation of Nigerian Writers. The three sources described him as a short story writer alongside Oghenchovwe and Suyi Davies. Some online sources says he ran a Facebook group of 2.1 million members, perhaps... I do not know, he might have been an online writer, as a lot of Nigerian authors. I’ve already made them invisible and would provide the ISBN when I attend the Lagos Book Festival this November i.e if you're worried about the sources. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 17:02, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I did direct them to the publishers, who have no record of such books. So again, I have to question where exactly you got the information, since according to Boydell & Brewer (who also own James Currey), there is no such record of these books ever existing, nor written by the authors you've indicated. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:04, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

You're not asking, you're interrogating. It's a different thing. I have answered your question... and if there's no such record, then it's either my fault or the library's. And it appears that this is my first time of having this difficulty with three sources and I'm getting interrogated. If you think that a certain source is not good, REMOVE THEM JUST LIKE YOU DO, I would do the same if I find dubious sources in your creation. That is why it is called a wiki! Best, Reading Beans (talk) 17:10, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I highly doubt a library or any book festival would provide you with books that say they're published by a major publisher and notable author when it wasn't, ie. they'd have to literally print a fake book. So I have to question your truthfulness, especially given the history of the subject in question. I'm deeply concerned and disturbed by this given your extensive editing and reviewing of articles and think this should probably be discussed at ANI or an appropriate noticeboard. This is more than a mere mistake of misinterpreting a source, as said sources literally do not exist in any capacity. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:12, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Waiting for my notification. I know that this is a come-back for Celestina007, but then, general consensus rule. End of chat. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 17:20, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't have a clue what you're talking about but the fact that you're using sources that are completely non-existent and made up in a BLP is of great concern to more than just me. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:21, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Praxidicae, mistakes do happen. Go through my whole creations and point out where I have used non-existent sources. The case of the article we are talking about could be a different from me. I had only written down the sources when I read them (which is why I can't provide the ISBN). The sources were meant to expand Suyi Davies, Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki and Third Generation of Nigerian Writers but I didn't find the need for that, so, I used them for the article that needed expansion.

And, you know what I mean, I'm not stressing it. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 17:27, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, how are you doing today? Please i need your help. Music Pamda (talk) 03:37, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment

Publishing an article on wikipedia is a great experience with mix of trepidation and nostalgia, but either way one learns. The draft:transmission company of Nigeria is to be brief, concise and educating for mostly Nigerians who are affected mostly by the complexities in the electricity sector. While I will keep working on improving the article, I will keep welcoming corrections and guidance from well experienced editors. Thanks Marvs100 (talk) 09:23, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Marvs100, in all honesty, I intended to accept the draft but I found out that it wasn't encyclopaedic: written like an essay and all. I’ll help brush up the article before today runs out. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 09:51, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Wow! Making my wikipedia experience refreshing. I have made corrections as regards rewriting it in an Encyclopedic way. Thank you for taking out time to contribute to my article. Always appreciate your time and candid support in facilitating the learning experience for so many new editors like me. Marvs100 (talk) 10:04, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
