Gregory's English Wiki page
Hello, you deleted a page with the title "Gregory's". Could you let me know why you did this? Gregory's is a legit Greek coffee company and we need the English Wiki page live. Could you let me know what I can do in order to keep this page up and live? AlexandraLav253 (talk) 11:07, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
Also, there is the exact same content page in Greek. So, I don't understand why you deleted the page. AlexandraLav253 (talk) 11:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- I removed the pages because it was written almost entirely like an advertisement. Bensci54 (talk) 01:30, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
International Association of Paediatric Dentistry
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Drkup(IMJ) (talk) 17:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC) Would you need to have a letter signed consent form from the IAPD website Secretory General? I am able to send it to you for filing so that there will not be deleted. I would appreciate your help referring me to the format of the letter which needs to be signed (I did it once but don't remember the process). Thank you Drkup(IMJ) (talk) 17:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

- Hi again - regarding your comment "Nothing was done to address this - the added source still comes from the association's website" - I have been researching your note to find a reference and feel I have addressed your request as the article cited is published in a physical peer reviewed article in a journal and ALSO cited on their website. This is the best I can do as there are no other brochures or papers to refer to (I contacted them). Please remove request for additional citation.Drkup(IMJ) (talk) 12:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Adina Kamien
Thank you for your editorial help on the last article I wrote. I was wondering if you can help with this one - Adina Kamien. It was submitted a while ago and is part of our effort to write translations (from Hebrew Wikipedia) on Israeli art and art related themes. Can you help move it out of the draft state?

- Unfortunately, I am only a member of the New Page Reviewer team. I am not an Articles for Creation reviewer. In other words, I can only review articles after they have been released to mainspace. Bensci54 (talk) 18:31, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello - article and account deletion
Hi, I have decided I want to start from zero my wikipedia venture. How can I delete my account? Does it delete all of my footprint (edits, creations, etc.)?
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by WOWL (talk • contribs) 17:49, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- @WOWL:It is not possible to delete your account. If you no longer wish to use this account, and would rather use a new one instead as a clean start, please follow the guidelines at WP:Clean Start. If you wish for articles you have created to be deleted, and you were the only person to contribute to that article, you can request that it be deleted by adding
{{db-author}}
to the top of the page you wish to be deleted. Bensci54 (talk) 17:36, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Deletion of Federation of Asia Pacific Philosophy in Schools Associations
Hi, I am perplexed about this deletion. This is a legitimate not for profit organisation and the information is appropriately referenced. It is not advertising anything, simply giving an account of a genuine organisation. If there are better ways to express some parts, then by all means tag those, but the wholesale destruction of the work is really quite distressing. Is there even a copy of the work we have done to date? Please explain where we go from here. thank you,
Aylianore (talk) 13:38, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Aylianore:The concern was not whether or not the association was legitimate, but moreso that the page seemed to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article. To recover your work, please contact Deb, the administrator who deleted the article. Bensci54 (talk) 15:54, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

- I looked at this again, and I don't think article is really too bad. I went ahead and removed the word "traumatized" though as it is charged. Since that was the only issue I really could see on my second look, I also removed my tag. As a side note some info about any way that this place was notable outside of the ongong war would be nice to add. Bensci54 (talk) 17:02, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Bensci54/Archives,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 802 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 855 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello Bensci54/Archives,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 15701 articles, as of 02:00, 20 August 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list.

Your draft article, Draft:Vietnam Self-Defence Militia
Hello, Bensci54. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Vietnam Self-Defence Militia".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello Bensci54/Archives,
- Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
- Coordination
- MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
- Open letter to the WMF
- The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
- TIP - Reviewing by subject
- Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
- New reviewers
- The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Hi, I'm Hey man im josh. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed or created, Mike Harley Jr., and have marked it as unreviewed. 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.)
The article Next Indian general election in Jharkhand has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Article refers to an event too far ahead in the future. At best is WP:TOOSOON or WP:CRYSTAL.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
I linked the article to two other articles. I will remove the button. THX. - Thylacin (talk) 17:22, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Mozart Group
Hi Bensci 54, I must say that I was not pleased with the deletion request of my article. But I could understand you considered it a bit promotional (it probably was, though unintended), and I'm happy that you reversed your decision after reading my reply. Did you read the NYTimes article that I mentioned in the ref's? Do so, it's quite interesting! I'm pretty sure this wiki-article will be edited rather sooner than later, and may become more balanced, because the war in Ukraine is a hot topic and the Mozart Group will surely receive new publicity in the future. Thanks for your small corrections. Loranchet (talk) 19:13, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
Hello Bensci54/Archives,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
- There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
- Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
- Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
- This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
Every Cloud
It appears that three reviewers (you, WaddlesJP13, and I) have added a linkrot tag to the article Every Cloud at the same time! Well, anyway, the duplicate tag has been removed in Special:Diff/1117419513. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, this backlog drive has been something else! Bensci54 (talk) 16:56, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Early end of the backlog drive
A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.
Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.
