New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello CAPTAIN RAJU, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 16,991 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.

Technology update:

  • Rentier has created a NPP browser in WMF Labs that allows you to search new unreviewed pages using keywords and categories.

General project update:

  • The Wikimedia Foundation Community Tech team is working with the community to implement the autoconfirmed article creation trial. The trial is currently set to start on 7 September 2017, pending final approval of the technical features.
  • Please remember to focus on the quality of review: correct tagging of articles and not tagbombing are important. Searching for potential copyright violations is also important, and it can be aided by Earwig's Copyvio Detector, which can be added to your toolbar for ease of use with this user script.
  • To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:33, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of a page

Hi,

I requested the deletion of the page Durgesh Kaushik. How do I take this process ahead from here?

Additionally, I have come across 3 similar pages from the Australian sub-continent which have similar issues. Should I flag them individually or the group flagging work better in your experience? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shashanksingh.1102 (talkcontribs) 10:52, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Creation of a new page

Dear Captain,

I am part of a running group in India, we keep participating in Indian Marathon from last couple of years. as we see there are a lot of Marathon articles being organised in various cities in india, but when I created an article on indian marathon, it was deleted by an authority.

I don't know how, but I feel that this event should also be listed so that people can write/read more information about this.

@Choudhary.007: Thanks for giving me a message.I saw your article.You created short and non-notable article.There was no references/sources and not significant.Follow this page to learn how to create new article and some tutorials.see here and this.I hope you will stead.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 21:23, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paris & Simo

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paris & Simo is already properly categorized under Bands and musicians. It doesn't need to be in the general Music delsort. I've reverted your edit. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:47, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

deletion sorting - artists

Hi CAPTAIN RAJU I have noticed that you have been helping out with deletion sorting. Thanks for doing that. I have a small favour to ask: When sorting into Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Artists, can you please not include musicians? They have their own area. "Artist" in our classification system typically means "visual artist". See for example Category:Artists. Thanks, Mduvekot (talk) 18:04, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice.I understood your advice.I saw the category artist of the article.That's why I tagged Artists delsort.I'll keep this my mind in the next time taging deletion sorting categories Artists.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 22:07, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Queens University Belfast is in Northern Ireland, so that might be a more appropriate listing. Or just hedge best with "UK" - we don't know where he was born. PamD 08:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I saw the British in article categories.That's why I tagged England delsort.I've already changed delsort tag.I was replaced the United Kingdom in place of the England delsort tag.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 09:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
British is British, but not necessarily English. You can upset a lot of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people this way - not to mention the Cornish! Seriously, please don't assume that all of Britain is England. It isn't. PamD 12:02, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Issue with a troll

Hi, mate. I use the account "PeterMan844" to edit pages, and I am always using verifiable proof or citations to improve articles, but I had to post this request with my own IP address to avoid detection from a troll who continues to follow me around online. There's this annoying loser who keeps harassing me on message boards, posting abuse, and he has now followed me here, to Wikipedia. He is vandalizing my edits regarding Sylvester Stallone being an extra in films. He is doing this for no other reason than to harass me personally, because I talked about my beef with IMDb.com elsewhere, and this person is just stalking me based on information I provide about my Internet habits.

He is using the alias "HaggisHeadS" here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Sidelong_Glances_of_a_Pigeon_Kicker&action=history

Please help. This man is also sending people to my friend's house, because he got his address from a video we had on YouTube which has since been made private. He won't go away. He keeps spamming and abusing me on anxiety related forums that aren't regulated any more, but nobody signs in very often who can deal with the hassle.

All the best!

A tag has been placed on Template:Italian-short-film-stub requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

New stub types

Hello! Just a reminder, instead of creating new templates and categories for just one or two articles, please check the List of stub types, or under Category:Stub categories, to make sure that an appropriate stub tag doesn't already exist. Stub categories should not be created, unless there are at least 60 articles for a particular template, and new templates are usually unnecessary, if one already exists in the same genre. And before creating new stub categories and templates, please follow the procedures at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 04:31, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

I understood your advice.There was not stub for my article.Stub/template was needed for the article.That's why I've created some stub/template.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 11:06, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
The point is, there is a procedure for creating stub templates. You should not arbitrarily create stub tags, just because you think they are needed for a specific article. And even if a new stub tag is necessary, you should propose an upmerged template that would feed into currently existing stub categories, until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, please do so at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. Fortdj33 (talk) 01:43, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
