New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Lefcentreright,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources
Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

License tagging for File:Northern Cape DEDaT seal.png

Thanks for uploading File:Northern Cape DEDaT seal.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:30, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Patth, Bollywood movie

Hi, Hope you are well. Recently i created an article Patth for Bollywood movie which was marked for deletion by you. While the all information i collected from different sources and it's not the same as it was on those sites. I collected the details and put here in the article in a proper way like it should be on Wikipedia and still you marked it for deletion. Patth is 2003 Hindi Bollywood movie and i'm from Mumbai, India and i know well about Bollywood and Bollywood movies. You are senior and i request you to remove that deletion mark from the article. Thanks, FIH bone (talk) 05:39, 25 March 2020 (UTC+5:30 hours)

@FIH bone: Hi, how are you? Thanks for your contributions. Unfortunately, I cannot take your word for it. To me, it just looks like you copy-and-pasted the section. The specific section has now been removed by a kind admin. You are welcome to summarise it in YOUR OWN WORDS. Kind regards, LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 20:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
FIH bone, the 'plot' section appeared to be a direct copy/paste from the summary at IMDB. Please don't copy and paste content from any other website - we all need to write our own material in our own words. As well as being a copyright infringement, plot summaries from sites like IMDB are usually inappropriate for an encyclopedia - they tend to lean towards making the film sound exciting and encouraging the reader to watch it, whereas we aim for a more neutral, descriptive summary. If you have watched the film, you would be welcome to write a short plot summary in your own words - that would be better than trying to paraphrase another source.

Sonal Devraj

Hi, on Sonal Devraj you have crossed your comment. But WP:CANVAS also features allowed ways. Can you please elaborate to me why one has to cross. I think it should be acceptable, as the request by User:Akhiljaxxn was not to comment delete or Keep. I am just trying to understand why you did what you did and if I must follow suit too. --Cedix (talk) 21:23, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

@Cedix: Hi, there. How are you? My best advice for you is to decide for yourself. I withdrew my vote because I saw a user who commented that the nominator approached them and it is a WP:CANVASSING concern to them, so I followed suit. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 21:32, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
I am doing fine, atleast so far, lets see how it goes. Thanks for asking,I truly appreciate it. How are you doing ?
Regarding the AfD, yes, I had seen that user's note as well. But I think although this invitation was a bad call, considering the AfD had just started, and users would have commented there any way. It would have made more sense had it been relisted and had a visible lack of participation as happens in some cases. Nevertheless, I would not cross my comment since I consider the invitation was a neutral one and hence allowed by WP:CANVAS. I have already added a disclaimer in the beginning of my comment on the AfD, for the admins to consider. I do hope User:Akhiljaxxn takes a note of this discussion. --Cedix (talk) 22:13, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
@Cedix and Lefcentreright: I messaged a few editors who are known for their expertise in the field of discussions related to AfD. I wanted to draw a wider range of informed but uninvolved editors' input for this. And my message was "I would like to bring this your attention: your input here (link 1), here (link 2) and here (link 3)." I thought WP:APPNOTE allowed this.–Akhiljaxxn (talk) 08:03, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
@Cedix and Akhiljaxxn: Sorry for the inconvenience caused. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 19:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
Lefcentreright, there is nothing for you to apologize about. This thread was for my own understanding. I see that you are an active SA topic contributor. Please accept my hands for friendship. I have copied a few templates from your user page, since I consider them useful. Keep in touch. Cedix (talk) 09:22, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Page curation of So Hong-chan

Hi - just a heads up of your review process for the article on So Hong-chan. It is basically a word for word machine translation of the same article in Korean wikipedia. Given that there was only a single source on the page it's always worth checking around where material comes from. You may already be aware, but in case you are not, guidelines for the acceptable use of translations are here: WP:TFOLWP. Also, in case you don't know, there is a template that needs to be added to the talk page: {{translated page}}. This editor seems to have done this with many articles related to North Korea − in general the editor should be doing this themselves and I left them a message about this, but if we are reviewing and it is not there, at the least we should leave a comment (eg under sourcing). Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 08:35, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Would you mind taking a look?

Hi - I came across Blaq Diamond in the NPP queue. The sources don't look RS to me - one is a Wiki, and I can't find any details about editorial staff and policy for the other two. Based on what's in the article, I'd be leaning towards AfD on grounds of a lack of notability; I'm aware of the inherent bias against African subjects though, so I wondered whether you might want to run your eye over it and see if there is any coverage in local RS that could help support notability? Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 15:41, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Girth Summit Hi, there. I have taken a look at the article. My conclusion is that the article reads like one big puff piece. Blaq Diamond is an up-and-coming band, but not yet notable enough for them to have an article on Wikipedia. As of now, local coverage of them is minimal. Also, the article has been speedily deleted twice (A7 in March 2017 and G11 in February of this year), so I believe a third speedy deletion is probably needed. Regards, LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 17:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Lefcentreright, thanks - yeah, that was my reading too. I didn't think it was G11-level promo, so was trying to get a sense if it could be improved with better sourcing, or if AfD was the right location - I missed that it had been speeded in the past, although in fairness to the author this article is less spammy than the deleted version. Thanks for taking a look - I see that another reviewer has nominated it to AfD already, in case you want to look in there.
Hope you're keeping well in the current situation. GirthSummit (blether) 10:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Makoti Khawula

On 5 May 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Makoti Khawula, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that South African MP Makoti Khawula insists on speaking and being addressed in isiZulu and isiXhosa while in parliament? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Makoti Khawula. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Makoti Khawula), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Since you assert you are the Chief Executive Officer of the Freedom Front Plus, I am going to assume you have a WP:FCOI (financial conflict of interest) because you are employed by the party. Please read Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
In a nutshell, you must disclose who is paying you and add the disclosure to your user page and anywhere else relevant, e.g. see Talk:Mia Farrow and User:Alexdltb to see how to disclose. You are strongly discouraged from directly editing related articles, however, you can make edit requests {{request edit}} (Always add the preceding template) at the talk page of the specific article or at the WP:COIN to have it peer-reviewed. If you want to create an article, please do so through the Articles for Creation instead of creating them directly. I hope this helped. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 13:59, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi Lefcentreright, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Daily Lokaai. I do not think that Daily Lokaai fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because this is about a publication and so is out of scope for CSD A7.

Lefcentreright, just as a heads-up, articles and drafts about Amit Bhadana have been deleted many times and recreated by a large number of paid sockpuppets – it is not a coincidence that Amit Bhadana is create protected, as is Draft:Amit Bhadana. Hindu Viki is definitely one of the sockpuppets, there are a lot of overlaps with previous sockpuppets of Swarup Kumar Solanki. This is not a comment on your edits or your AfC approval of the draft, of course. None of us can be aware of all the paid socks around. I just wanted to explain why I have placed a UPE tag on it.

Hi there,

In regards to the speedy deletion you put on this article.

I was just wondering if there were any particular parts of the article which you thought I should review more thoroughly in terms of copyright infringement? I'm addressing the issues now and hopefully will soon remove any instances of this. If you let me know which bits in particular I'll be sure to look into those bits in greater detail.

Thanks!

Edit: I have now removed any potential copyright infringement, please do let me know if there's anything else you think I've missed out. Thank you again for pointing this out I really do appreciate it!

SACP

So according to your level of editing and the experience that you have aquired in this field, it is fine with you that an Organisation such as the SACP, it's Central Committee Members must not be published in the Article of the SACP. The only important once are the veterans and secretaries of that organisation, last I checked the catations where used such as the organisational, governmental wabsite etc. So I am asking what lead to the delatation of that information.

I am asking because you seem to be most focus on South African Politics and Politicians. So probably you will inlighten me.Tefo S Radebe (talk) 15:38, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Lefcentreright,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources
  • A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
  • Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
  • A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
  • Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

New message from Nathan2055

Hello, Lefcentreright. You have new messages at Draft talk:The Impact of COVID-19 in Tembisa(South Africa).
Message added 22:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Rollback granted

Hi Lefcentreright. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Cabayi (talk) 20:35, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, there. Your edits contained a copyright violation. Best, Lefcentreright Talk | Contribs | Global 11:13, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm TheBirdsShedTears. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Assaffal P. Alian, and have marked it as unpatrolled. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 08:34, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Did you mean to undo more than the removal of some spaces in this edit? Number 57 23:35, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

@Number 57: Hello, there. I was looking through the page history and saw that an IP introduced deliberate factual errors, such as adding incorrect seat totals, changing the party names, etc. I completely freaked out when I saw that and reverted the page to the "last proper version" in my opinion. I now see my error. I have reverted it back to the last version by Frietjes. Thanks for notifying me about my mistake. Lefcentreright Talk | Contribs | Global 11:18, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
