Upcoming expiry of your patroller right

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 4 December 2024 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 05:08, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New pages patrol January 2025 Backlog drive

January 2025 Backlog Drive \| New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
You're receiving this message because you are a new page patroller. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Recent declining of redirect requests

Hello. You have recently declined my redirect requests Jewjitsu, Jew-jutsu, Jewjutsu, Jew-jitsu, Jew jutsu, Jew Jitsu, Jew-Jitsu, Jew Jutsu, and Jew-Jutsu, citing that they are unlikely search terms for Krav Maga. I wish to know, why is Jew jitsu allowed, but these suggestions are not? Yyannako (talk) 03:40, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yyannako, apologies for the late response.

Even though the redirect Jew jitsu was made many years ago, it doesn't mean that these redirects you suggest should be added. For one, it seems that standards and policies have become more strict over time; it was created in 2011 and I personally wouldn't have created such a redirect in 2024. For another, it seems that the redirect was created for another purpose, and was more recently revised to send a reader to Krav Maga, even when it might not have been the original intention.

You can better understand why other existing pages don't have influence on newer pages here: WP:OTHER. Hope this helps. LR.127 (talk) 22:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Short descriptions

Please make sure to not introduce errors in short descriptions, as was done at 2008 MLS expansion draft and similar articles. Sounder Bruce 02:05, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for checking in!

Thanks for spotting that error. All the MLS draft-related short descriptions I've changed have been set to "College draft for soccer teams", which I can now tell should be restricted to the SuperDrafts and College Drafts.

Soon, I might modify supplemental drafts, expansion drafts, and Re-Entry Drafts to simply say "Drafts for soccer players in the US". What do you think? Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 02:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The drafts are not restricted to US players or US teams (as there are 3 MLS teams in Canada). It's best to just use the league's name in the description. Sounder Bruce 06:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
