Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

This is not only a problem of spoiling, you are talking here about episodes which have not been aired yet. I don't know how the info about these episodes leaked, but please be informed that this is perfectly illegal and that you can't even prove this info is correct. So please delete this ASAP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uenoeki54 (talk • contribs) 04:44, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Rokh (upcoming video game).

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Why did you rollback everything? Those are references............ ........ .............. Like far more reliable. Whats all this talk sbout? Its an article with direct references.

The cocktail pages. What was so horribly wrong you had to revert? Or are you just a hipster wondrich fan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1:c685:4e4d:f04f:4ee6:ad36:4db6 (talk) 22:30, December 17, 2018 (UTC)
Was there something to discuss? It WAS references, there is nothing to talk about. Even if it was references only with no context, you would still find a reason to revert. Whats your next excuse? You will look that much more foolish when the truth comes to light. Im going to do it again, with references only with zero context. That means anything else on the talk page that has context has to be removed also.. that would be the whole page. But somehow i think your made up rule which you self define, only applies to me. I get it. This is all you have isnt it? Thats rhetorical because i know the answer amd its sad, it really is.
What a fucking laugh. I looked this guy up after a book review then I saw the talk page. You admins really do just jerk off to falsely accusing people of being sockpuppet don't you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1:c617:3e07:cf8b:8bad:8ae0:1b34 (talk) 21:16, December 20, 2018 (UTC)
Lol the badmin who closed the first afd lied out his dumb ass calling people sockpuppet to keep the page. But you admins never do accept that your buttbuddies lie about that as just a bullshit way to abuse admin buttons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1:C6A9:4C7B:3580:E383:2856:89E3 (talk) 03:06, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Madilyn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hello Sakura Cartelet/Archives,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

I primarily work to remove content that is supportive of human rights, and believe we should hold a neutral view on politics. Are muslims people who deserve rights? No need to hold an opinion. I support neutrality on the topic- we shouldn't rush to judgement on whether they deserve rights. And I will continue to work hard to make sure wikipedia does not reflect any pre-human rights views. I also would have supported Hitler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:12B0:3000:E16B:2154:E153:28FC (talk) 03:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Those were not weasel words added by me. That statement has been intact on that page for months now because various big football editors have confirmed it. And also, Gianluigi Buffon is page too that contains that and its been lying there for years now. Dont forget that there are 8 citations supporting the statement so its not obvious to remove it. Kindly think further on your action. 117.225.123.2 (talk) 03:07, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
I don't need to wait for the discussion to end, this was already called by the previous name before the discussion began, there was consensus on the name. Someone apparently renamed it without consensus and now we should wait for consensus? There is already 5 votes against 1. A4516416 (talk) 05:19, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I notice my typo updates were not added to the Frozen (2013) website. I am curious as to why you are censoring valid information, aimed at expanding general societal knowledge and improving the average life experience? Please reply with all promptness as I am truly concerned for the direction Wikipedia has taken in the past several years.

I removed unsourced material that was added by 45.20.151.16. And 71.244.246.185 keeps adding it back without explanation. It's not right to add material without a source is it? --94.1.34.5 (talk) 19:27, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Well thankfully ST47 has resolved this situation and has semi-protected the page and blocked the vandal. Sorry you got caught in this, I see they added another message to your talk page after I told them to keep this discussion off your page. Hopefully this is resolved now, though I fear they'll evade their block by renewing their IP because they even admitted to doing that on the discussion. --94.1.34.5 (talk) 21:44, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
I saw the dispute and was going to post this: " I don’t believe all this sturm und drang over a computer application. Race, religion, politics, sports, ethnicity maybe, but a computer application? What is really going on here? But decided against it, but out of curiosity I posted the identical on both talk pages and the response was from both to revert. A few minutes ago one just reverted. Maybe this is a discussion one is having with themselves just to keep the article active.I am relatively new, didn't do much but create articles (five of them) but being bored I started to check out different articles and following Arbcom and ANI, I am dumbfounded to discover that there are edit wars going on over inane articles. Stupid stuff. I just can't figure out what is going on. Religion, politics, ethnicity, I can understand, even sports(although barely, I don't get the mentality of soccer riots, but am familiar with the study that links them to testosterone.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!
