New page reviewer granted

 

Hello TJH2018. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as mark pages 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.

  • 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) 22:44, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

  • PS: There were no surprises with the roll out of this new user right. The RfCs were published for two consecutive months both on RfC.Cent. and on your watchlist, and patrollers who should have permanently had WP:NPP on heir watchlists would have received automatic notations of every posting about them. As NPP however, was never a user right, users were not obliged, as they are recommended to do so with formal rights, to log in regularly and stay up to date with developments. I recommend that you now add all the relevant pages to your watchlist because further changes and software updates are coming soon. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
@Kudpung: Ok, thanks for helping me understand the changes. Looking forward to some exciting new features! I was asked a while back to do some beta testing for Twinkle by the WMF, so I am really looking forward to some of the stuff I was shown in that session! Thanks again! TJH2018talk 23:03, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
Page Curation is a purpose designed Foundation solution for New Page Reviewing. It was developed in collaboration between the community and the Foundation engineers who coded it as a MediaWiki extension. Page Curation should now be the standard for new page patroling as it offers not only more features for the reviewers, but provides better feedback to new article creators. It also maintains a curation log for each patroller which Twinkle is technically unable to do. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:31, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter

Hello TJH2018,
 
Breaking the back of the backlog
We now have 816 New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action.
 
Mid July to 01 Oct 2016

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Second set of eyes

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.

Getting the tools we need - 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey: Please vote

With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

Declined speedy deletion nomination of Chocolate Tumor Hormone Parade

Hello TJH2018. Speedy deletion work is important and I do appreciate the effort. I would just ask that you please review the criteria carefully because accuracy is also important. On that issue, I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of Chocolate Tumor Hormone Parade as an article that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the topic under CSD A7. That criterion did not apply because the article was about a collection of musical recordings, and A7 only applies to articles on real persons or groups, individual animals, organizations, web content and organized events. While the article is within the scope of A9, it is only for articles on musical recordings where none of the contributing recording artists has an article, and an article on Omar Rodríguez-López exists. Appable (talk | contributions) 18:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

As another note, it's usually a good idea to wait before tagging for A7 (and even more so for A1 and A3) - especially when the article is reasonably connected to notable entities. Tagging one minute after article creation can drive away contributors, cause edit conflicts, and there is no rush to speedily delete articles under A7.

New Page Review - newsletter No.2

Hello TJH2018,
 
A HUGE backlog

We now have 816 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

 
Hitting 17,000 soon

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

  1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
  2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
  3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.
