Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.
PART 1
When patrolling or reviewing an article, you may often come across articles do not meet the WP:N guidelines, but the editors make the edits in good faith. Please read WP:AGF and do not WP:BITE the new editors.
1. In your own words, why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors.
Answer: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia whose community has build an extensive set of rules and guidelines in its many years of existence. Newcomers are most likely not aware of those rules but they still want to help out (except in some blatant cases of vandalism). A big chunk of edits on Wikipedia comes from newcomers and a newbie can always become an expert editor, if they are given the chance to do so. Using aggressive messages or technical wiki jargon on talk pages might put them off and they might decide not to contribute any further. The encyclopedia thrives on a constant influx of new editors, so we shouldn't scare them away. Even experience editors can make mistakes sometimes, and that's why assuming good faith is one key principle.
2. In your own words, how is notability defined in Wikipedia?
Answer: A notable topic has been covered by multiple reliable independent secondary sources. That means sources that are:
Even if all requirements are not met, the page might still not fit on Wikipedia because of WP:NOT.
3. Does a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" considered a notable topic in Wikipedia?
Answer: It is not, per WP:NOTGUIDE.
4. What are the differences between A WP:GNG and a specific notability guidelines? how do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
Answer: WP:GNG is the general criterion that always applies. Specific notability guidelines help us determine in an easier way which topics can and which shouldn't have a page on Wikipedia. Specific notability guidelines are generally easier to verify than the GNG. If an SNG criterion is verified, one can usually assume that WP:SIGCOV exists and therefore the GNG requirement is satisfied.
5. If an editor creates an article about "2028 Summer Olympics" in 2024 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
Answer: Generally for future events for which only speculative information is available, WP:CRYSTALBALL applies. However, 4 years before the Olympic games there is usually sufficient information on the future event to justify its notability. The fact the article does not have any sources does not have any impact on its notability, per WP:NEXIST.
6. A New York city based 2023 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
Answer: It's trivial coverage per WP:ORGTRIV: "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage, such as [...] of a capital transaction, such as raised capital"
Answer again:
7. Guram Kutateladze is a mixed martial arts fighter who fights under Ultimate Fighting Championships with a record MMA record of 12-4.
Answer: Does not fulfill WP:NMMA as he is not in the top 10 of his division.
8. A upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported will be in production in February 2024 and to be released on August 2024 in the cinemas.
Answer: As shooting hasn't started, an article should not be created per WP:NFF.
9. A political candidates, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2024 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspapers coverage of his candidacy.
Answer: As they have never held office, WP:POLITICIAN#1 does not apply. WP:POLITICIAN#2 could apply if they were a "major local political figure", but as they are new to the political scene, it does not apply either. Non notable.
10. A singer who self produced his first album in May 2023 and his songs are listed in
Spotify.
Answer: It does not meet any of the specific criteria of WP:MUSICBIO, it would have to meet #1 or GNG.
Answer: Per WP:NACADEMICS#8, as he is "he is the editor in chief of the Journal of Economic Psychology". Given the journal only has an impact factor of 3.5, one might wonder if it constitutes a "major well-established journal". In my opinion it's a bit of a grey zone...

Answer: Verifiability is one core principle of Wikipedia. It is critical that the information in an encyclopedia is factually correct; to achieve this, statements need to be verifiable. The use on in-line citations in particular makes it very easy for a future editor that wants to improve or expand the article to verify the origin of the statement. Broc ( talk) 21:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
Answer: No, see WP:CIRCULAR. Wikipedia is not a reliable source as it contains user-generated content with no editorial oversight. However, sources that are used in other pages can be re-used upon verification. Broc ( talk) 17:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. [1] [2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." [3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home. [4]

Answer: He is a Bulgarian actor, born in Veliko Tarnovo. He started working in the film industry at the age of 14 and he was featured in 44 films.
The first sentence, if not supported by a source, is puffery and should be removed. Adjectives such as "tender" should not be used. Broc ( talk) 08:04, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
Answer: The [[WP:NPOV]] [WP:DUE]] pillar means that all points of view should be represented, according to the weight they have. So for instance, conspiracy theories should be listed on a page about the Moon landing, but should not constitute the majority of the page, as they are
fringe views. Giving undue weight means exaggerating the importance of one of the points of view and giving much less space to the others. This does not only have to do with text length but also with its placement in the page, the section naming, etc.

Answer:G12 when the page is almost entirely copied from somewhere else and there is no original content at all. Revdel is for all other cases: if a paragraph is copied from somewhere else, we remove or rewrite said paragraph, then request revision deletion for all revisions that included the copyvio. Note: this can also be the whole page history except the last edit. Another example is a recent addition of a large chunk of copyrighted text: the solution is to revert to a previous state without copyvio, then request revdel.

The original content is released under public domain or a CC license compatible with Wikipedia.

This can be done automatically using the Draftify function of Twinkle, or manually by moving the page to Draftspace, and tagging the namespace redirect for R2 CSD. Draftification is a bold action and can be reversed by anyone. Once reverted, it cannot be repeated, and the page needs to be tagged for improvement or candidated for AfD.

, We move articles to the draftspace to allow articles to be developed especially potential but unsourced
WP:BLP article. Use R2 sparingly as some admins do not like pages to be move to draft page even
WP:NPPDRAFT states the move is a safe place for editor to adding necessary sources, they would deems the if the articles are not improved or edit in 6 months, it will be G13.

Answer: COI/PAID editors are obliged to disclose their conflict of interest. In that case, we would find such a notice on their user page or talk page.
Apparent COI instead is defined based on the user's contributions, some examples:

Answer: WP:DRAFTIFY if the article could belong on Wikipedia and is not a blatant copyright violation (in this case, CSD). COI editors cannot create new pages themselves and need to go through the AfC process. Broc ( talk) 16:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. to their talk page and and tag COI on the page via twinkle. Editor can create/edit a COI page if they WP:Disclose it on the article talk page and their user page and edit the content with NPOV. COI editor can create a page in new page, however, many admins do ague they should go through AfC and later NPP (review 2 times by AfC and NPP) just like WP:PAID editors.

Cassiopeia Please check if the format is correct now. I would also be glad if you could already start correcting the assignment, as I would like to get feedback on the questions I answered. I will slowly fill in the remaining CSD pages (I have already at least 1 per category) as I tag them, but it will likely take a few weeks. Broc ( talk) 22:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Please read
WP:PROD,
WP:BLPPROD,
WP:MERGE,
WP:DRAFTIFY,
WP:NPPDRAFT and
WP:REDIR,
WP:AFD and answer the following questions. (Provide links and hisdiff where they are applied.)
Answer: PROD is a simplified deletion process, it should be applied to uncontroversial deletions (e.g.: we do not think someone will remove the tag). We use PROD as AfD is a process that takes a lot of time and energy from editors, and should not be overloaded with uncontroversial requests. If one expects a debate to arise as to whether the page should be kept, the right venue is AfD.
Answer: Before PROD:
During PROD: save page in watchlist to see if someone removes the PROD tag within 7 days. If removed, see rationale and decide whether to start a full AfD or not.
Answer: A BLP page with no sources at all (it does not have to be an inline source, it can be an external link, a bibliography) can be nominated for BLPPROD. Alternatives to BLPPROD:
Answer: The most common reason for an AfD nomination is for a page that does not fulfill the notability criteria, but that cannot be deleted with simplified processes (such as WP:PROD or WP:CSD), does not have a meaningful WP:ATD, or for which we expect a debate to arise.
Before nominating a page because of notability concerns, a WP:BEFORE search to look for sources is necessary. The nominator should be convinced that the notability criteria are not fulfilled.
Other things to look at: a history of recent vandalism (maybe the page was in a good state in an earlier version), discussions in Talk page, previous AfD nominations for the same page.
Answer: PROD and BLPPROD last for 7 days, after which they are deleted. The procedure stops as soon as any user removes the tag.
AfD lasts normally 7 days, at the end of which an editor (usually an administrator) evaluates the consensus and closes the discussion. In case of unclear consensus, additional 7 days can be added to the discussion.

Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.
PART 1
When patrolling or reviewing an article, you may often come across articles do not meet the WP:N guidelines, but the editors make the edits in good faith. Please read WP:AGF and do not WP:BITE the new editors.
1. In your own words, why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors.
Answer: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia whose community has build an extensive set of rules and guidelines in its many years of existence. Newcomers are most likely not aware of those rules but they still want to help out (except in some blatant cases of vandalism). A big chunk of edits on Wikipedia comes from newcomers and a newbie can always become an expert editor, if they are given the chance to do so. Using aggressive messages or technical wiki jargon on talk pages might put them off and they might decide not to contribute any further. The encyclopedia thrives on a constant influx of new editors, so we shouldn't scare them away. Even experience editors can make mistakes sometimes, and that's why assuming good faith is one key principle.
2. In your own words, how is notability defined in Wikipedia?
Answer: A notable topic has been covered by multiple reliable independent secondary sources. That means sources that are:
Even if all requirements are not met, the page might still not fit on Wikipedia because of WP:NOT.
3. Does a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" considered a notable topic in Wikipedia?
Answer: It is not, per WP:NOTGUIDE.
4. What are the differences between A WP:GNG and a specific notability guidelines? how do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
Answer: WP:GNG is the general criterion that always applies. Specific notability guidelines help us determine in an easier way which topics can and which shouldn't have a page on Wikipedia. Specific notability guidelines are generally easier to verify than the GNG. If an SNG criterion is verified, one can usually assume that WP:SIGCOV exists and therefore the GNG requirement is satisfied.
5. If an editor creates an article about "2028 Summer Olympics" in 2024 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
Answer: Generally for future events for which only speculative information is available, WP:CRYSTALBALL applies. However, 4 years before the Olympic games there is usually sufficient information on the future event to justify its notability. The fact the article does not have any sources does not have any impact on its notability, per WP:NEXIST.
6. A New York city based 2023 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
Answer: It's trivial coverage per WP:ORGTRIV: "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage, such as [...] of a capital transaction, such as raised capital"
Answer again:
7. Guram Kutateladze is a mixed martial arts fighter who fights under Ultimate Fighting Championships with a record MMA record of 12-4.
Answer: Does not fulfill WP:NMMA as he is not in the top 10 of his division.
8. A upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported will be in production in February 2024 and to be released on August 2024 in the cinemas.
Answer: As shooting hasn't started, an article should not be created per WP:NFF.
9. A political candidates, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2024 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspapers coverage of his candidacy.
Answer: As they have never held office, WP:POLITICIAN#1 does not apply. WP:POLITICIAN#2 could apply if they were a "major local political figure", but as they are new to the political scene, it does not apply either. Non notable.
10. A singer who self produced his first album in May 2023 and his songs are listed in
Spotify.
Answer: It does not meet any of the specific criteria of WP:MUSICBIO, it would have to meet #1 or GNG.
Answer: Per WP:NACADEMICS#8, as he is "he is the editor in chief of the Journal of Economic Psychology". Given the journal only has an impact factor of 3.5, one might wonder if it constitutes a "major well-established journal". In my opinion it's a bit of a grey zone...

Answer: Verifiability is one core principle of Wikipedia. It is critical that the information in an encyclopedia is factually correct; to achieve this, statements need to be verifiable. The use on in-line citations in particular makes it very easy for a future editor that wants to improve or expand the article to verify the origin of the statement.

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. [1] [2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." [3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home. [4]

Answer: The [[WP:NPOV]] [WP:DUE]] pillar means that all points of view should be represented, according to the weight they have. So for instance, conspiracy theories should be listed on a page about the Moon landing, but should not constitute the majority of the page, as they are
fringe views. Giving undue weight means exaggerating the importance of one of the points of view and giving much less space to the others. This does not only have to do with text length but also with its placement in the page, the section naming, etc.

Answer:
No, all content must be verifiable. We are not looking for "the truth", we are just collecting information that has been published on reliable sources. If contradicting sources are found, one saying "2" and one saying "3", both should be mentioned on the page. If no source is found to support the "3 sons" fact, it should not be added.

1 | A1 | The context of the article cannot be understood, it is unclear what the page is about. | ![]() |
2 | A2 | Article not written in English and an almost identical copy of a page on another language wiki. If the content is different, this does not apply. | ![]() |
3 | A3 | Pages containing no content (link collections, just a title,...). On-line stubs or pages with only an infobox don't fall under this criterion. | ![]() |

5 | A7 | Articles that do not show the importance of the subject. Lower criterion than notability, example: "NAME is a high school student at School." | ![]() |
6 | A9 | Same as A7 but specific for albums. Specific criterion: album page whose artist does not have a Wikipedia page AND there is nothing in the article supporting its independent importance | ![]() |
7 | A10 | There is an article on the same topic somewhere else on Wikipedia, and the newly created article does not add any content. Only applies if the new article cannot be redirected to the existing one. | |

Answer:G12 when the page is almost entirely copied from somewhere else and there is no original content at all. Revdel is for all other cases: if a paragraph is copied from somewhere else, we remove or rewrite said paragraph, then request revision deletion for all revisions that included the copyvio. Note: this can also be the whole page history except the last edit. Another example is a recent addition of a large chunk of copyrighted text: the solution is to revert to a previous state without copyvio, then request revdel.

Answer: Copying copyrighted content, but also close paraphrasing, and a direct translation of copyrighted material. Broc ( talk) 15:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Answer i: Websites copying from Wikipedia. This includes Wikipedia mirrors, but often even reputable sources copy information from Wikipedia. In this case, it is important to check the date of publication to verify if it's a copyright violation.
Answer ii:
The original content is released under public domain or a CC license compatible with Wikipedia.
Answer iii: The author of the content is the owner of the copyright. In this case, they can decide to release the material on Wikipedia under the CC license of Wikipedia. Pay attention to COI in these cases! Broc ( talk) 15:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Answer:
New articles can be draftified when "not ready for mainspace", some examples: articles lacking sources, articles very poorly written, articles where the editor has a COI. This can be done automatically using the Draftify function of Twinkle, or manually by moving the page to Draftspace, and tagging the namespace redirect for R2 CSD. Draftification is a bold action and can be reversed by anyone. Once reverted, it cannot be repeated, and the page needs to be tagged for improvement or candidated for AfD.

, We move articles to the draftspace to allow articles to be developed especially potential but unsourced
WP:BLP article. Use R2 sparingly as some admins do not like pages to be move to draft page even
WP:NPPDRAFT states the move is a safe place for editor to adding necessary sources, they would deems the if the articles are not improved or edit in 6 months, it will be G13.

Answer: COI/PAID editors are obliged to disclose their conflict of interest. In that case, we would find such a notice on their user page or talk page.
Apparent COI instead is defined based on the user's contributions, some examples:

Answer: WP:DRAFTIFY if the article could belong on Wikipedia and is not a blatant copyright violation (in this case, CSD). COI editors cannot create new pages themselves and need to go through the AfC process. Broc ( talk) 16:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. to their talk page and and tag COI on the page via twinkle. Editor can create/edit a COI page if they WP:Disclose it on the article talk page and their user page and edit the content with NPOV. COI editor can create a page in new page, however, many admins do ague they should go through AfC and later NPP (review 2 times by AfC and NPP) just like WP:PAID editors.

Cassiopeia Please check if the format is correct now. I would also be glad if you could already start correcting the assignment, as I would like to get feedback on the questions I answered. I will slowly fill in the remaining CSD pages (I have already at least 1 per category) as I tag them, but it will likely take a few weeks. Broc ( talk) 22:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I can not find the article which you mentioned on Q2 (i) as I doubt it was created. Pls check the article name again and provide the link you have tag the article for CSD. Cassiopeia talk 03:59, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
In assignment 4, we look at articles which fits in WP:Criteria for speedy deletion (CSD) where by the the articles are deleted within a few hours to 24 hours from the time of the nomination. In Assignment 5, we discuss the what actions should be taken for those articles do not fit under the CSD criteria but do not meet relevant criteria for content of the encyclopedia.
Please read
WP:PROD,
WP:BLPPROD,
WP:MERGE,
WP:DRAFTIFY,
WP:NPPDRAFT and
WP:REDIR,
WP:AFD and answer the following questions. (Provide links and hisdiff where they are applied.)
Answer: PROD is a simplified deletion process, it should be applied to uncontroversial deletions (e.g.: we do not think someone will remove the tag). We use PROD as AfD is a process that takes a lot of time and energy from editors, and should not be overloaded with uncontroversial requests. If one expects a debate to arise as to whether the page should be kept, the right venue is AfD.
Answer: Before PROD:
During PROD: save page in watchlist to see if someone removes the PROD tag within 7 days. If removed, see rationale and decide whether to start a full AfD or not.
Answer: A BLP page with no sources at all (it does not have to be an inline source, it can be an external link, a bibliography) can be nominated for BLPPROD. Alternatives to BLPPROD:
Answer: The most common reason for an AfD nomination is for a page that does not fulfill the notability criteria, but that cannot be deleted with simplified processes (such as WP:PROD or WP:CSD), does not have a meaningful WP:ATD, or for which we expect a debate to arise.
Before nominating a page because of notability concerns, a WP:BEFORE search to look for sources is necessary. The nominator should be convinced that the notability criteria are not fulfilled.
Other things to look at: a history of recent vandalism (maybe the page was in a good state in an earlier version), discussions in Talk page, previous AfD nominations for the same page.
Answer: PROD and BLPPROD last for 7 days, after which they are deleted. The procedure stops as soon as any user removes the tag.
AfD lasts normally 7 days, at the end of which an editor (usually an administrator) evaluates the consensus and closes the discussion. In case of unclear consensus, additional 7 days can be added to the discussion.
Answer: The page can be candidated for AfD.
