Hello! Welcome to my talk page. Feel free to leave me a message by clicking the "new section" button above. I am an administrator, and I will do my best to help you. I will respond on this page to keep the discussion in one place. I archive when I think this page is getting long, or if all the discussions are old to the point of irrelevance, or after a long absence on my part. ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs)

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

• Iazyges (1040) with three FAs on Byzantine emperors, and lots of bonus points.
• Unlimitedlead (847), with three FAs on ancient history, one GA and nine reviews.
• Epicgenius (636), a WikiCup veteran, with one FA on the New Amsterdam Theatre, four GAs and eleven DYKs
• BennyOnTheLoose (553), a seasoned competitor, with one FA on snooker, six GAs and seven reviews.
• FrB.TG (525), with one FA, a Lady Gaga song and a mass of bonus points.

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi, please can you show me where the evidence is for this term being an abbreviation, as I can't see it? The official abbreviation seems to be MCCJ, if the infobox is anything to go by (and MCCJ is already a DAB with this listed). It's also formatted in a peculiar way which makes it less credible as a redirect. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:13, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Bungle From the first line of Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus: "(Latin: Missionarii Comboniani Cordis Iesu)" - that would be abbreviated MCCI. I agree that the formatting (location of dots) is a little odd. However, it is abbreviated like that in our article on Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 16:20, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I disagree with your view on declining the csd on this, to be honest, but even more that it should remain as-is. The organisation does not seem to be typically known by the abbreviation MCCI. Furthermore, and on the same point, we already have a DAB at MCCI (which includes the target article, I assume on the basis of your response), so why should this redirect, which is bizarrely formatted, point to an organisation where the only link seems to be a Latin initialism, instead of the existing DAB? If it were M.C.C.I. then it would not be unreasonable to point this to MCCI instead, as at least in that format it would be useable, but this to me does fall under the "implausible typo or misnomer" criteria. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:36, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Speedy deletion is only supposed to be used in the most obvious cases. If it is less than obvious, a deletion discussion is the proper forum. In this case redirects for discussion. I suggest you nominate it there. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 17:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Whoops, looks like we both hit that one at the same time. Sorry about that.

BTW, I saw your initial take was to move it to User:Desiraewiki/The Beauty Myth (i.e., w/o the "Revisited" part of the title). Note that The Beauty Myth and The Beauty Myth: Revisited are two different works. TJRC (talk) 20:17, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I moved it there as that was the original location, in the user's userspace. I was putting it back where they had moved it from. Also, is The Beauty Myth: Revisited a separate work? I'm not finding any indication of it other than a talk Naomi Wolf gave on the 20th anniversary of the publication of The Beauty Myth. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 20:22, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You know what? Looking more closely, I don't think it really amounts to a new work; If I'm reading it correctly (now) it's seems to be just a republication of the old one with a new introduction. If that's the case, a separate article really wouldn't be warranted at all; a (small) section in the existing article would be sufficient. TJRC (talk) 21:27, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, ONUnicorn. I see that you have restored and userfied the deleted article The Beauty Myth: Revisited, which I had deleted. I happened to discover that by accident, and if I had not done so I would not have been aware that you had done so, as you did not inform me. Neither, as far as I can see from your editing history, did you inform UtherSRG, who had subsequently re-deleted the same article after it was re-created. You may have had excellent reasons for restoring the page, but, as I expect an administrator of several years' standing such as yourself to know, Wikipedia:Administrators#Misuse of administrative tools recommends first undertaking "a brief discussion with the administrator whose action is challenged" before reverting another administrator's action, if there is any chance of disagreement. There is, of course, room for differing opinions as to when reverting another administrator's action is so obvious as to justify doing so without consultation, but when you are overturning the actions of not just one administrator but two, there is ipso facto evidence that your decision is likely to be to some extent controversial, and that consensus may not be in favour of your decision, so I would think that quite exceptionally good reasons would be required for a single administrator to unilaterally overturn the agreed actions of two administrators without consultation. However, even if you feel you have excellent reasons for regarding this as a case where it was justified to overturn an administrative action without consulting the administrators concerned, I am very surprised that you did not at least do the courtesy of informing us of your decision to unilaterally overturn our decisions after having done so. Perhaps you would like to comment. JBW (talk) 14:28, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@JBW I apologize, I probably should have consulted you. I will note that I was the one who placed the speedy tag you were responding you when you deleted it to begin with. When I placed the tag instead of deleting it myself, I was considering that, given my earlier actions on the article (of moving it back to userspace) and conversations with the user, it was better to tag it and allow someone else to take the action of deleting it. When the user engaged and asked for it restored to userspace, I did not even think about the fact that I was not the one who deleted it. I do apologize for not extending you the courtesy of at least notifying if not consulting you. I just didn't think about the fact that I was not the deleting admin. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 18:21, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK, thanks very much for the explanation, which makes what you did much more comprehensible. JBW (talk) 19:23, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Administrator changes Ingenuity Ddstretch Prodego Resolute

CheckUser changes Courcelles

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
• As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

• Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Miscellaneous

• Following a community referendum, the arbitration policy has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to Jimbo Wales.

Hello ONUnicorn,

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).

The winners of the 2023 The Core Contest are announced 🎉. We had an amazing set of improvements this year, and the judges (Femke, Aza24 and Casliber) would like to thank everybody who joined and congratulate the winners.

• First place goes to Buidhe for improving The Holocaust; very core, highly relevant; their work on bringing geographical balance to the article puts the topic in a whole different light. We also commend improvements to sourcing and prose
• A close second place goes to Phlsph7 for improving Education from an unstructured jumble into a well-sourced piece of instruction
• Third prize goes to Johnbod for improving Donatello, a near five-fold expansion with great sourcing and fantastic imagery
• A tie for fourth place goes to Thebiguglyalien for improving Crime, for a strong improvement in sourcing
• A tie for fifth place goes to Sammielh for International law, improved by converting contextless listicles into a proper sourced prose

Hey there! I know you've registered your regrets on this and a few other past events. We'd definitely love to have you some time! In any case, as I wrote on the event page, we've been gifted a bunch of free fair tickets to distribute to Wikipedians. Even if you can't make it at the time we scheduled the event, let me know if you'd still like to use a free ticket, and maybe you can participate in the event asynchronously, if you can upload some photos or do other edits (or even a new article). I already have the tickets in my possession, so I'd be happy to find a way to get them to you! Dominic·t 18:58, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
• Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Hello dear ONUnicorn!

Chiragh Baloch is one of famous baloch actors who worked in this area for a long time. I wanted to add an article in name of Chiragh Baloch, but it semes, it protected from creation. If passible please create this article using this information, thanks in advance. Ibrahim khashrowdi (talk) 17:46, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Ibrahim khashrowdi, thanks for reaching out about that draft.

When you are dealing with a title that has been salted, as that one has, it's a really good idea to go through the artiles for creation process. I've looked over the draft you've created, and I notice it only cites two sources, one of which (the surkhiyn one) gives me an error message ("This site can’t be reached"). The other one (from the Daily Times) looks like a good source, but before the article is accepted, it needs to demonstrate he is notable by reference to multiple reliable sources (such as the Daily Times one seems to be) that are not affiliated with him.

At this point I recommend finding 2-3 more sources and adding information from them to the article and citing them before clicking the button that says "Submit the draft for review!" at the bottom of the box I've added to the draft. If an AFC reviewer accepts the draft, I or any other admin will be happy to unprotect the title so it can be moved to article space. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 18:40, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Could you please look on this draft article page to reviewing.

Thank you -- Ibrahim khashrowdi (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello ONUnicorn,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Hello ONUnicorn:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1700 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi ONUnicorn, I noticed you declined my U5 of User:Lison pema with the summary "Decline U5. Userspace drafts are allowed." Would you mind taking another look? From my experience in anti-spam this userpage is obviously an LLM generated promo-piece. Phrases like:

• "prominent political figure"
• "he made significant contributions to the development of the region and worked tirelessly to improve the lives of its residents"
• "Linggi's dedication to public service and his unwavering commitment to the betterment of his community have left a lasting impact"
• "His legacy continues to inspire future generations of leaders and serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and determination in achieving meaningful change"
• "His leadership and vision have left an indelible mark on the region, and his legacy will be remembered for years to come"

make this a clear violation of WP:UP#PROMO, which in my opinion makes it exempt from the "plausible drafts and pages" part of U5 since it's violating WP:UPYES. On top of all this, it is violating WP:PROMO, which I think makes it eligible for G11 anyway. I hope you will reconsider given my reasoning. All the best! Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 18:33, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They have also copy-pasted the promotional page onto their talk, which is further evidence of promotional editing. Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 18:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. If your concern is that it is promotional, than it should have been tagged as G11, not U5. I will take another look with G11 in mind. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 18:49, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Schminnte I see they also copy-pasted it into their sandbox. It seems to me like a new user confused as to where it should go. Reading through it, it reads like an obituary, although it does not exactly state that the subject is deceased and I cannot find much information about the subject (a mention in an article from 10 years ago about "Former MLA and HGB of Injonu Sakole Linggi" speaking about the deterioration of water pipelines and flood damage is about all I could come up with, but I bet there are offline sources since he seems to have been MLA in the 1970s). At any rate, it doesn't strike me as promotional enough for G11, especially if the subject is deceased. I have redirected their userpage to their sandbox in the effort to keep the content confined, and left them a message about the appropriateness or lack thereof of having that content in each space they have put it, or at all. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 19:27, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for that opinion. While I may disagree with the promotional nature and the threshold of G11, I really appreciate and respect your opinion and advice. Thank you for dealing with the situation so sensitively. Have a nice day, Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 19:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello ONUnicorn, I saw on the NPP school page that you have one slot available for training. I would like to learn how to become a reviewer, but I would like somebody to show me the ropes before I attempt to request permissions. I have light experience in AfC and AfD but nothing impressive. If you are available, I would like to start training in the new year. Thank you! ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 00:34, 23 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @HistoryTheorist! I look forward to working with you.

When you say you have light experience with AFC, do you mean as a reviewer? Or as someone who has used it to create articles? Or both? ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 03:17, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was a bit concerned about the IPBE grant at the user talk page. From WP:IPEC it says that it normally should be confirmed through checkuser or auto block. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 14:32, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@0xDeadbeef - Oops; you're right, I probably should have checked with a checkuser first. I did see that is an active block on a fairly large IP range logged at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Best known for IP, and it certainly seemed plausible that that block could be affecting the user in question. Next time I see someone using a ((admin help)) to request that I'll refer them to WP:UTRS. Having already done the wrong thing, what would you suggest I do at this point? ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 06:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
