Hi I've added some information but I'm not sure how to insert a new reference for it. -- Catchwords ( talk) 07:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, TheAafi (and all)!
I am relatively new here, but we're trying to do something a bit different than your average term paper for a class project. This semester, we are having students research fungal species with no current (or only stub) Wikipedia pages. However, I'm just realizing that I don't currently have the credentials to help them create pages if the page doesn't already exist (and can be edited).
I've had this current account for many weeks now, but I believe I just need the edits. Do you have any guidance on this front? Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. We look forward to continuing to build the mycological content of Wikipedia :)

Hello TheAafi. Your account has been granted the "filemover" user right, either following a request for it or due to a clear need for the ability to move files. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:File mover for more information on this user right and under what circumstances it is okay to move files.

Hello Aafi,
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 809 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.

Hi dear Why my page was deleted? -- EVENTSMANIA ( talk) 13:03, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Aafi,
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).
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.
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.
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: 15325 articles, as of 00:00, 31 July 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.

Dear Aafi,
The organisation is pretty well covered by prestigious publications. You can see the earliest and latest version, and will find support to this organisation by credible sources and personalities.
Will highly appreciate your support in getting this review and published, with your kind edits to ensure coverage.

Hi. What's the convention for introducing an acronym for, say, an organization? For instance, let's say I'm introducing a group called the "Angels of Shoegazing," is it customary on wikipedia to immediately follow that up with (AOS), so that it ends up looking like this: ...the Angels of Shoegazing (AOS)"?
And if so, is it permissible to refer to the organization as AOS, thereafter? -- Camilo Varelas ( talk) 22:47, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

This award is given to TheAafi for 8 reviews in the July NPP backlog reduction drive. Your contributions played a part in the 9895 reviews that took place during the drive. Thank you for your contributions.. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 09:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC) |
Hello Aafi,
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.

I noticed your edit to Emily Sachar, and your edit summary, which said in part "remove non-notable spouse per template documenation". I did not undo the removal of the spouse because it was unsourced in the article, but your basis for removal is incorrect. The template documentation says this about other relatives, e.g., children, parents, siblings, etc. Spouses do not have to have articles at Wikipedia to be included in the infobox.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 12:22, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

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.

Dear Aafi,
The organisation is pretty well covered by prestigious publications. You can see the earliest and latest version, and will find support to this organisation by credible sources and personalities.
Will highly appreciate your support in getting this review and published, with your kind edits to ensure coverage.

I have been author of other credible web-pages like Ahmadullah Shah and Sajjad Nomani on which you have often made edits. Looking forward to your support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Umairsy ( talk • contribs)

Hi. What's the convention for introducing an acronym for, say, an organization? For instance, let's say I'm introducing a group called the "Angels of Shoegazing," is it customary on wikipedia to immediately follow that up with (AOS), so that it ends up looking like this: ...the Angels of Shoegazing (AOS)"?
And if so, is it permissible to refer to the organization as AOS, thereafter? -- Camilo Varelas ( talk) 22:47, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I have updated on my adaption page kindly inform me that I am doing it the right way or not. Numis Zuhair ( talk) 07:36, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
First there was an article, then there was a blank. I did not know if the editor was going to return to the article so I sent it to draft. I saw no request for G7 from the author. In any event, I think it may be solved. i am just wondering why Kevin Adderley is showing up as an article i created...all i created was the draft move and a CSD.

If the sole author blanks a page other than a userspace page, a category page, or any type of talk page, this can be taken as a deletion request.─ The Aafī (talk) 04:22, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

This award is given to TheAafi for 8 reviews in the July NPP backlog reduction drive. Your contributions played a part in the 9895 reviews that took place during the drive. Thank you for your contributions.. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 09:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC) |
Hello Aafi,
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.

I noticed your edit to Emily Sachar, and your edit summary, which said in part "remove non-notable spouse per template documenation". I did not undo the removal of the spouse because it was unsourced in the article, but your basis for removal is incorrect. The template documentation says this about other relatives, e.g., children, parents, siblings, etc. Spouses do not have to have articles at Wikipedia to be included in the infobox.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 12:22, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

On 15 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fateh Muhammad Panipati, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Fateh Muhammad Panipati has been called the al-Jazari of contemporary times? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fateh Muhammad Panipati. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Fateh Muhammad Panipati), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2020. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are just getting caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply (with a ping) to let us know not to send you any more. - MPGuy2824 ( talk) 03:19, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

There has been huge gap in covering the stories of muslim freedom fighters who fought for Indian Independence. One of them was MKM Ameer Hamza.

Hi DetuchVonzer. It is really not necessary for you to upload the newspaper cuttings anywhere. You can just add a citation mentioning complete details of the source where any fact/news appeared. You should also have a look at WP:INDENT and WP:THREAD so that you can understanding how responses should be made more convenient. Best, ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
