I do not know the subjects of either of the articles I tried to create. I am a lifelong trapeze fan, that is all. I was going to create articles for the other leading trapeze artist in the US, but I am clearly doing something wrong if you think there is a conflict. And both articles have been rejected despite numerous detailed sources. They are both among the leading female trapeze arts in the US and one is even a circus hall of famer. Can you please try to fix the articles for me and resubmit or tell me how best to fix them[[User:CircusGenius|CircusGenius]] ([[User talk:CircusGenius|talk]]) 20:37, 19 January 2020 (UTC) |

Hewetson
Dear Friend,
Please explain to me why you added a notability-tag to Henry Bendelack Hewetson. I already gave a rather extended list of publications by him. I did already use several independent sources to describe him, among them from BMJ. So I really don't understand your problem. I further can say that I'm still working on this, i.e. use the obituary in The Naturalist by Cordeaux. This is definitely a notable person. Many greetings, --Dick Bos (talk) 19:28, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Request on 16:33:43, 2 February 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Rmosutton
I added a dozen reference citations (and further content) in response to your initial request. Yet I got the same exact message back as to there being inadequate references. So I don't know at this point what you want me to do. There are more than enough reliable sources -- all published newspapers from the Boston area as well as the Christian Science Monitor. Please tell me what I need to do, explicitly.

Please participate to the talk pages consultation
Hello
Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.
We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

NPR Newsletter No.17
Hello LJF2019,
- News
- The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.
- Discussions of interest
- Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
- {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
- A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
- There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
- Reminders
- NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
- NPP Tools Report
- Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
- copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
- The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

NPR Newsletter No.18
Hello LJF2019,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
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:
- Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
- Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
- Reliable Sources for NPP
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.
- Backlog drive coming soon
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.
- News
- Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.
- Discussions of interest
- A request for bot approval for a bot to patrol two kinds of redirects
- There has been a lot discussion about Notability of Academics
- What, if anything, would a SNG for Softball look like

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019
Hello LJF2019,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
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.
- QUALITY of REVIEWING
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.
- Backlog
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.
- Move to draft
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.
- Notifying users
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.
- PERM
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.
- Other news
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.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello LJF2019,
- Backlog
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.
- Coordinator
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
- This month's refresher course
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.
- Deletion tags
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.
- Paid editing
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.
- Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
- Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
- Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
- Tools
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.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

New Page Review newsletter November 2019
Hello LJF2019,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
- Getting the queue to 0
There are now 798 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
- Coordinator
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
- This month's refresher course
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
- Tools
- It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
- It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
- Reviewer Feedback
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
- Second set of eyes
- Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
- Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
- Arbitration Committee
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
- Community Wish list
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

New Page Review newsletter December 2019
- Reviewer of the Year
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

- Redirect autopatrol
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
- Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
- This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

OMRA - Offshore Model Racing
Hi
I created an article for OMRA of which I am the webmaster for their website as it was suggested to me a few days ago. The organisation has been around for decades but very inactive online for most of that due to the age of most of the members. All been word of mouth with the hundreds of members that been been involved over the years but is very well known in the model boat world.
I've been back through the article to add in as many references as I could find. Other websites, videos and news stories. There will be more and more updates to add I'm sure as there will be published items from the UIM and Guinness in due course.
I hope this helps in getting it past review.

For Rejecting Season 3 of The Masked Singer and so starting discussion of whether to accept it that should have started earlier if the proponents had been paying attention. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:09, 12 January 2020 (UTC) |

Upset
To be honest, I'm not sure we need to link to anything there, but at least it's not an Easter egg link any more. Thanks. – PeeJay 01:09, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Wrongful rejection
Hi CatcherStorm,
I noticed you rejected my article titled Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture for "[resubmitting] the draft instantly without making any improvements," however this was just not the case. I resubmitted it 100 minutes after I received the first rejection and in that time I did edit certain sections significantly (9000 bytes in fact) and added 14 sources, as the initial reasons for rejection were for the article being "mostly unsourced." I am a student at this School of Architecture so whatever is unsourced is first-hand knowledge.

Incomplete deletion nomination
Hi, I noticed you added the tag {{Article for deletion/dated}} to Dr. Min Bahadur Shrestha, but you haven't completed the nomination or explained why you feel this article should be deleted. Please follow instructions on item II at WP:AFDHOWTO. Stifle (talk) 11:01, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Stifle: I used the Page Curation tool to automatically list the article. Looks like it bugged out or something. CatcherStorm talk 12:06, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
no source needed
You don't have to source everything on Wikipedia. It's like the golden rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19A:C102:EB10:E9BE:E5C9:B6EE:7854 (talk) 16:42, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Justices of United States state supreme courts are inherently notable
See Wikipedia:WikiProject United States courts and judges/Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Politicians and judges. Please note this for your future article evaluations, so that you can take care not to post incorrect tags on pages. Cheers! BD2412 T 20:31, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- BD2412, why does your WikiProject not explain why they think every single state Supreme Court Justice is "inherently notable"? CatcherStorm talk 20:37, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- Did you look at the second link, which is part of WP:N, and not any WikiProject? It states, "The following are presumed to be notable: Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office". The project merely expands upon this with respect to state court judges. Furthermore, the project does explain why every single state Supreme Court Justice is inherently notable, stating, "Justices are inherently notable for serving on the highest judicial body of their jurisdiction, and having final judicial authority over issues of state law". Since the explanation is clearly presented in the guideline, the question is odd. BD2412 T 20:42, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello my friend I have tried to keep the article in mind as I am a novice in order to add at least some edits and resources. The film will soon be screened at foreign festivals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tam.t2020 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Chester A. Arthur Rollback
Hello, I don't have rollback rights. Can you rollback new changes by 2607:FEA8:5620:4B8:D8F6:8DCE:1F13:9A43 on Chester A. Arthur. You did so previously but he has added them back in with intermediate changes. I left a message on his talk page. Hope your day is going well. // Timothy :: talk 23:54, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Chester Alan Arthur
I changed it because it's fake! Here's the True Story about it! Democrats claimed that Arthur, a Republican, wasn't born in Vermont as he maintained, but in Canada, which according to the Constitution made him ineligible for the Oval Office. Heather Darch says that Arthur was born in a modest house in the town of Bedford in French-speaking Canada, just 15 miles north of the U.S. border - a house that is up for sale.
"I think Americans could come up here and own a piece of Americana, very easily," she told Rocca. "I really do believe that Chester A. Arthur was America's first Canadian president!" Chester's father, William Arthur, was an itinerant minister and teacher who traveled back and forth across the very porous border.
When his son, the future president, was born in 1829, Darch says, oral history and "vague references" point to Arthur's father teaching in Stanbridge East at the local school. What's more, the family of Chester's mother, Malvina, was living in CANADA at the time of his birth. Chester Alan Arthur lied about the year of his birth, until the day he died. And he refused to answer questions raised by the "birthers" of his time.Fairfield's town clerk, Amanda Forbes, showed us their evidence: A town record that indicates that William Arthur was elected to a school board months before Arthur's birth in 1829. "We don't have any concrete birth certificate. I wish we did, but we don't." said Forbes. The truth may be lost to time - and to the fact that Chester Arthur burned all of his papers right before he died.

Please Help
I do not know the subjects of either of the articles I tried to create. I am a lifelong trapeze fan, that is all. I was going to create articles for the other leading trapeze artist in the US, but I am clearly doing something wrong if you think there is a conflict. And both articles have been rejected despite numerous detailed sources. They are both among the leading female trapeze arts in the US and one is even a circus hall of famer. Can you please try to fix the articles for me and resubmit or tell me how best to fix themCircusGenius (talk) 20:37, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
