Destiny1923 ( talk) 03:16, 29 October 2019 (UTC)== Hi, I created a page regarding the Koon Karavas in Sri Lanka ==
May I know why the page was removed? and how I can get info to support it?
Thanks for uploading File:Alienation video game logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:22, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello Anarchyte,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 805 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Hello!
The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate in a recent consultation that followed a community discussion you’ve been part of.
Please fill out this short survey to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.
The privacy policy for this survey is here. This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.
Thank you for your participation, Kbrown (WMF) 10:44, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

It would be very useful to see your reasoning for /info/en/?search=A_Specimen_of_the_Botany_of_New_Holland
It would also help in understanding why https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES differs.
As the Australian biota project is always trying to improve assessment and quality of articles that lie within the ambit, it is interesting to see your reassessment viz /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Australian_biota_articles_by_quality_log - thanks. JarrahTree 00:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
ORES is nothing to do with vandalism, inside the 'rater' device that I use it is machine based assessment device that can be explained here: /info/en/?search=Artificial_intelligence_in_Wikimedia_projects#ORES
I do hope that if you insist on your assessment process, that your incursion is done with a sensitivity that some other plants project members exhibit - as to call the specific article stub against the thousands of articles that are less than that are potentially at risk of your visit(s), (the awb automatic removal requirement as you put it would decimate the Australian biota project beyond recognition). So in one sense thanks for your reply, but that is about all that I can say at this point. JarrahTree 07:55, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
Please excuse my sense of humour, I tend to see where it must be bewildering to even comprehend the Biota Project from an outsiders perspective, my apologies, and a small explanation, with some contriteness as to my level of paranoia....(even more so I seem to replying within a process I quite say horrible things off wiki about ((now even bad grammar))
Last year [1] I was taken aback that the biota project had over 15,000 unassessed articles, even more so that many articles were not even tagged with australia or biota... so anyways with very little help from anyone we (Darren and I from western australia as well) are now down to less than 2,000
and after consulting with some who know whatthe scopes of other collections of information are in much larger quantity, and results of multiple pass (sic) reviews of content, referencing and maps and photographs, the 'oz biota' thing is hardly started. There is a serious case of speciesisms (bias) where some thousands of insects and moths have entries found in australia whereas, there are some plants that are identified down to very specific geographic locations with gps accuracy.
So it's a work in trepidation progress, to get past the first pass of identifying possible items not yet identified, and the next part of the process will be to deal with the large amount of holes that however hard we try there always seems to be more:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Australian_biota_articles_by_quality_log
Ultimately to be able to share data and information with other databases our capacity to even withstand the usual tribulations of being a collection of reliable information able to survive scrutiny - the 20k items (no doubt hundreds without even being identified yet) /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Australian_biota feels like a long way off, so yes, thanks - you are correct, stubs are not adequately identified at this stage. Oh dear, it seems a long long way off... JarrahTree 08:47, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
That is indeed very generous in the face of my rather eccentric explanation of a 'sector' of biota material - one problem, as you rightly identify your criterion (a), australian project criterion (b), and the biota criterion (c), and what has been done to reduce the unimportant (d) - is indeed a coarse and somewhat arbitrary rough and ready prognosis at times (there is very little redemption for an item that is identified as x is found in australia / no viable ext links and no working ref, and a line of text ) which one somewhat staggered at the audacity, (but suprising persistence in adding has occured for such items) - the tendency is leave in the ambience of the project however lacking...and in some cases (d) are very rough indeed... with much to be improved. On a conversation 6 months ago with someone who knows a lot more about the very larger databases of biota material that are held for australian biota, we are but a pinprick of a collection on the actual potential range of notable items that constitute the total range of notable biota items for australia - the discussion involved understanding that what darren and I have dealt with is simply the 'first pass' of the process, it was intimated that we need up to maybe 3 or 4 more of the whole collection to identify things like fixing inadequate sources, inadequate range/description, maps/photos, and so on. There is a lot more to it all than what is mentioned here. Any help appreciated, in the end. Thanks. JarrahTree 11:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

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.

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.
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.
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.

A tag has been placed on Category:Tornadoes of 2020 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dear Anarchyte,
In December, you deleted a very large portion of my Wikipedia site, including the entire section about my literary career. I thank you for patrolling my site, but I would like to discuss with you how to restore portions of it in an acceptable manner. My site was created by the editors of Wikipedia about 15 years ago. Since then, I have updated it myself and have not tried to hide behind a third party for changes. Evidently, I put in too much material, and some of it in undocumented form. Over the last day, I have restored the most important parts of the site (this took me several hours, as I did not have a backup copy of the site). I attempted to be as spare as possible and also attempted to document all documentable statements.
Please take a look at the site and let me know which portions remain to be documented.
I am not familiar with all of the bells and whistles on Wikipedia. I would be grateful if we could correspond by email. My email address is lightman@mit.edu.

Hello Anarchyte,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Dear Administrator,
This is with reference to the article on Great Gama which has been semi-protected by you. As I had mentioned earlier, there is a deliberate attempt to portray the Great Gama as a Pakistani wrestler. The Great Gama was born in India, wrestled in India, and represented India throughout his career when he traveled abroad. Pakistan was created only in 1947, when Gama was 69 years old, and he shifted Pakistan at the age of 69. It is absolutely false to claim that the Great Gama was a Pakistani wrestler when any google search of a neutral website (non Pakistani website) will refer to him as an Indian wrestler. Even the links cited - next to the claim that he was a Pakistani wrestler - do not mention that he was a Pakistani wrestler anywhere. I request you to remove his nationality in the first line if you think it is ambiguous because it is absolutely false for a respected website such as wikipedia to portray him as a Pakistani wrestler when there was no such country during his wrestling career.
My other point of contention with this article is the last line of the second paragraph that states "he lived for the rest of his life in Lahore" when the link that is cited for this clearly states that Gama shifted to Lahore in 1947. Gama was 69 years old at that time. Again this is a deliberate attempt to portray him as a Pakistani.
I request you to remove his nationality from the first paragraph and then replace the last line of the second paragraph which is "He lived for the rest of his days in Lahore." with the line "The Great Gama shifted to Lahore (Pakistan) in 1947 and stayed here till his death." which is exactly what is mentioned in the cited reference for that line. This is my request to maintain the authenticity of an article on a famous person on wikipedia.

Hi there, I came across your reply at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback#User:Landihan and just wanted to let you know that STiki hasn't been working since March. Thanks! ◢ Ganbaruby! ( Say hi!) 09:41, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
You protected the Różan article, and this is the talk 'discussion' we get - pure WP:NPAs. Can you block the IP vandal (not that it will do much good since he already uses dynamic IPs: [9], [10]) and change the protection to semi, since that editor is clearly not here to build an encyclopedia, but to edit war and attack others with, for now, impunity? Also, as I said, we are very likely dealing with a sock of an indef (and topic-banned) vandal, the following makes it even more obvious as he was active in the same article before removing same or related information: compare [11] and [12], also see this ArbCom evidence for a pattern (reminder: that editor got topic banned, and shortly afterward, indef banned). PS. Also as I noted on talk, the source added to Rozan violates ArbCom's ruling; but what's the point of edit warring with a sock that will happily ignore any rules, restrictions and bans? Isn't this what a semi is for? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:51, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello A. I hope you are well. Regarding this protection removal the fact that the PP template is still on the page means the redirect eventually shows up in the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. If you can remember to remove the template that would be great. Now it is not a big deal if you forget - those of us who monitor the cat will find it and zap it in time like I did here. Thanks for your time and stay safe. MarnetteD| Talk 02:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
I need to request you that please delete the revision [13] as RD3 as that revision was purely disruptive or delete as the reason WP:RD2 as it also violates a biography of a living person or delete as the reason "Vandalism" because that revision is not supposed to be visible.

@ Cardomahalay: really now? You have just created an account and the first thing you do is slander me eh? You say constantly edit wars and breaks 3RRs, sounds like you're one of those users that I've either reported for sockpuppetry or for edit warring. You say recent, but you forget that the user got the boomerang because the IP user that reported me got banned. Gardo Versace ( talk) 21:42, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello Anarchyte. Please check my reply [14]. Wished my request is granted by now. Thank you! KMagz04 ( talk) 22:41, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
This is an article that you semiprotected and set pending changes for back on May 1 (PC is still in effect, but the semiprotection period ended on the 3rd). I am concerned about a series of edits that has led to semiprotection of the article, and is still occurring, with IPs and even registered accounts which have not reached confirmed/autoconfirmed status continuously altering the write-up on the character of Gibby, writing clearly false and slanderous content, such as this most recent edit ( [15]). If you could review the edits since May 3, or even watch this article for a while, I'd appreciate it. It may be borderline as to whether to let pending changes continue without further article protection, and actually needing this article to be semiprotected again.

I have created the page Abey Belasco, but this boxer's name was usually referred to as Aby Belasco by the major publications of the day, particularly Puglistica, the most important source. Can you provide a link or merge so that if someone types Aby Belasco, the Abey Belasco page, already created, will display. I have had trouble trying to do this myself. If you don't know how to do think, can you refer me to someone who does?
Dcw2003 ( talk) 16:29, 24 May 2020 (UTC)Someone did put in a redirect to Abey Belasco from the blank Aby Belasco page. I meant to do this myself but I made an error in the process. His name was of course Abraham and another redirect could be put in from Abraham, as the page I wrote is long and worth the effort to make it easier to find. I hope its not deleted as for a boxer he was not technically a champion, which is usually required to retain a boxer page in Wiki. He was easily rated in the top five for welterweights, but such ratings didn't really exist at the time in the 1820's in England. I've edited close to thirty of the Jewish boxers on wiki, but been careful to make sure they were weight class champions to insure they are not deleted.
What is the process for putting in a redirect? I used the MOVE pulldown, selected article on the left, and typed the name of the page to redirect to (Abey Belasco), but that didn't seem to work. Did I need to put the redirect or move in the Abey Belasco page which was complete? I don't think that would have been correct. Can you describe the process briefly after you select the Move pulldown? Thanks, David Wasserman
#REDIRECT [[location]]
.
Aby Belasco currently contains #REDIRECT [[Abey Belasco]]
. For more information on redirects, see
Help:Redirects. Moving a page is slightly more complicated. As a non-admin, the target page either must not exist or only have one revision. As such, you cannot move
Abey Belasco to
Aby Belasco. I recommend going to
the talk page and creating a
move request. The instructions are

04:15, 25 May 2020 (UTC)Hi Anarchyte, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Dcw2003 ( talk) 19:34, 27 May 2020 (UTC) Anarchyte- I inadvertently changed the font on my source pages (When I edit any wiki article) to bold font, and can't seem to change it back. Do you know the pull down series to fix this? Thanks...……
I've also noted you are an administrator with five years of experience on wiki. I've written 100s of articles and would like a few admin privlidges, though I wouldn't use them extensively. For example, it would be nice to have put in a link to an article I had written in its entirety, though I didn't mind asking you as an admin, and I greatly appreciated your help. Apparently, I can't put in redirects myself if they go to articles that have been edited, even if I was the sole writer on the article. I could use a redirect Abraham Belasco to Abey Belasco, but that's up to you. Unfortunately I titled the article Abey Belasco, and I've very rarely seen that abbreviation used, its always Aby Belasco in both Puglistica and Boxiana, the two primary sources for nineteenth century English boxing. Either way, thanks for your help.

Hi Anarchyte, I was wondering if it is enough to add the edit summary "please discuss it on the talk page" was enough to initiate a rollback, or should I pertain to only to my personal area of interest. I now only refer to the red marked edits at the recent edits page. In two edits I was unsure, (both had a consensus final, the 1st I corrected and the 2nd one someone else corrected ) and I'd like to have further counseling. Can I rollback red marked edits with the edit summary "discuss it at the talk page" or not. Thank you for your advice. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 21:43, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request for the pending changes reviewer rights. I know there is a page to request that but I prefer asking individual administrators who can look through my work independently. If you can take a look at My contributions I have tried to help Wikipedia get rid of vandals and maybe try help those same vandals make constructive contributions for the better of Wikipedia. I mostly specialize in BLP and I know most if not all of the guidelines and policies regarding them. I currently have rollback which I have used efficiently and would like to extend my work to pending changes. If you don’t like my work, don’t worry I’ll understand and I don’t mind if you will reject my application. Thank you for your precious time.

Hello Anarchyte,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Hello Anarchyte,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 805 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

It would be very useful to see your reasoning for /info/en/?search=A_Specimen_of_the_Botany_of_New_Holland
It would also help in understanding why https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES differs.
As the Australian biota project is always trying to improve assessment and quality of articles that lie within the ambit, it is interesting to see your reassessment viz /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Australian_biota_articles_by_quality_log - thanks. JarrahTree 00:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
ORES is nothing to do with vandalism, inside the 'rater' device that I use it is machine based assessment device that can be explained here: /info/en/?search=Artificial_intelligence_in_Wikimedia_projects#ORES
I do hope that if you insist on your assessment process, that your incursion is done with a sensitivity that some other plants project members exhibit - as to call the specific article stub against the thousands of articles that are less than that are potentially at risk of your visit(s), (the awb automatic removal requirement as you put it would decimate the Australian biota project beyond recognition). So in one sense thanks for your reply, but that is about all that I can say at this point. JarrahTree 07:55, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
Please excuse my sense of humour, I tend to see where it must be bewildering to even comprehend the Biota Project from an outsiders perspective, my apologies, and a small explanation, with some contriteness as to my level of paranoia....(even more so I seem to replying within a process I quite say horrible things off wiki about ((now even bad grammar))
Last year [1] I was taken aback that the biota project had over 15,000 unassessed articles, even more so that many articles were not even tagged with australia or biota... so anyways with very little help from anyone we (Darren and I from western australia as well) are now down to less than 2,000
and after consulting with some who know whatthe scopes of other collections of information are in much larger quantity, and results of multiple pass (sic) reviews of content, referencing and maps and photographs, the 'oz biota' thing is hardly started. There is a serious case of speciesisms (bias) where some thousands of insects and moths have entries found in australia whereas, there are some plants that are identified down to very specific geographic locations with gps accuracy.
So it's a work in trepidation progress, to get past the first pass of identifying possible items not yet identified, and the next part of the process will be to deal with the large amount of holes that however hard we try there always seems to be more:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Australian_biota_articles_by_quality_log
Ultimately to be able to share data and information with other databases our capacity to even withstand the usual tribulations of being a collection of reliable information able to survive scrutiny - the 20k items (no doubt hundreds without even being identified yet) /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Australian_biota feels like a long way off, so yes, thanks - you are correct, stubs are not adequately identified at this stage. Oh dear, it seems a long long way off... JarrahTree 08:47, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
That is indeed very generous in the face of my rather eccentric explanation of a 'sector' of biota material - one problem, as you rightly identify your criterion (a), australian project criterion (b), and the biota criterion (c), and what has been done to reduce the unimportant (d) - is indeed a coarse and somewhat arbitrary rough and ready prognosis at times (there is very little redemption for an item that is identified as x is found in australia / no viable ext links and no working ref, and a line of text ) which one somewhat staggered at the audacity, (but suprising persistence in adding has occured for such items) - the tendency is leave in the ambience of the project however lacking...and in some cases (d) are very rough indeed... with much to be improved. On a conversation 6 months ago with someone who knows a lot more about the very larger databases of biota material that are held for australian biota, we are but a pinprick of a collection on the actual potential range of notable items that constitute the total range of notable biota items for australia - the discussion involved understanding that what darren and I have dealt with is simply the 'first pass' of the process, it was intimated that we need up to maybe 3 or 4 more of the whole collection to identify things like fixing inadequate sources, inadequate range/description, maps/photos, and so on. There is a lot more to it all than what is mentioned here. Any help appreciated, in the end. Thanks. JarrahTree 11:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

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.

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.
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.
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.

A tag has been placed on Category:Tornadoes of 2020 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dear Anarchyte,
In December, you deleted a very large portion of my Wikipedia site, including the entire section about my literary career. I thank you for patrolling my site, but I would like to discuss with you how to restore portions of it in an acceptable manner. My site was created by the editors of Wikipedia about 15 years ago. Since then, I have updated it myself and have not tried to hide behind a third party for changes. Evidently, I put in too much material, and some of it in undocumented form. Over the last day, I have restored the most important parts of the site (this took me several hours, as I did not have a backup copy of the site). I attempted to be as spare as possible and also attempted to document all documentable statements.
Please take a look at the site and let me know which portions remain to be documented.
I am not familiar with all of the bells and whistles on Wikipedia. I would be grateful if we could correspond by email. My email address is lightman@mit.edu.

Hello Anarchyte,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Dear Administrator,
This is with reference to the article on Great Gama which has been semi-protected by you. As I had mentioned earlier, there is a deliberate attempt to portray the Great Gama as a Pakistani wrestler. The Great Gama was born in India, wrestled in India, and represented India throughout his career when he traveled abroad. Pakistan was created only in 1947, when Gama was 69 years old, and he shifted Pakistan at the age of 69. It is absolutely false to claim that the Great Gama was a Pakistani wrestler when any google search of a neutral website (non Pakistani website) will refer to him as an Indian wrestler. Even the links cited - next to the claim that he was a Pakistani wrestler - do not mention that he was a Pakistani wrestler anywhere. I request you to remove his nationality in the first line if you think it is ambiguous because it is absolutely false for a respected website such as wikipedia to portray him as a Pakistani wrestler when there was no such country during his wrestling career.
My other point of contention with this article is the last line of the second paragraph that states "he lived for the rest of his life in Lahore" when the link that is cited for this clearly states that Gama shifted to Lahore in 1947. Gama was 69 years old at that time. Again this is a deliberate attempt to portray him as a Pakistani.
I request you to remove his nationality from the first paragraph and then replace the last line of the second paragraph which is "He lived for the rest of his days in Lahore." with the line "The Great Gama shifted to Lahore (Pakistan) in 1947 and stayed here till his death." which is exactly what is mentioned in the cited reference for that line. This is my request to maintain the authenticity of an article on a famous person on wikipedia.

You protected the Różan article, and this is the talk 'discussion' we get - pure WP:NPAs. Can you block the IP vandal (not that it will do much good since he already uses dynamic IPs: [9], [10]) and change the protection to semi, since that editor is clearly not here to build an encyclopedia, but to edit war and attack others with, for now, impunity? Also, as I said, we are very likely dealing with a sock of an indef (and topic-banned) vandal, the following makes it even more obvious as he was active in the same article before removing same or related information: compare [11] and [12], also see this ArbCom evidence for a pattern (reminder: that editor got topic banned, and shortly afterward, indef banned). PS. Also as I noted on talk, the source added to Rozan violates ArbCom's ruling; but what's the point of edit warring with a sock that will happily ignore any rules, restrictions and bans? Isn't this what a semi is for? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:51, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello A. I hope you are well. Regarding this protection removal the fact that the PP template is still on the page means the redirect eventually shows up in the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. If you can remember to remove the template that would be great. Now it is not a big deal if you forget - those of us who monitor the cat will find it and zap it in time like I did here. Thanks for your time and stay safe. MarnetteD| Talk 02:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

This is an article that you semiprotected and set pending changes for back on May 1 (PC is still in effect, but the semiprotection period ended on the 3rd). I am concerned about a series of edits that has led to semiprotection of the article, and is still occurring, with IPs and even registered accounts which have not reached confirmed/autoconfirmed status continuously altering the write-up on the character of Gibby, writing clearly false and slanderous content, such as this most recent edit ( [15]). If you could review the edits since May 3, or even watch this article for a while, I'd appreciate it. It may be borderline as to whether to let pending changes continue without further article protection, and actually needing this article to be semiprotected again.

I have created the page Abey Belasco, but this boxer's name was usually referred to as Aby Belasco by the major publications of the day, particularly Puglistica, the most important source. Can you provide a link or merge so that if someone types Aby Belasco, the Abey Belasco page, already created, will display. I have had trouble trying to do this myself. If you don't know how to do think, can you refer me to someone who does?
Dcw2003 ( talk) 16:29, 24 May 2020 (UTC)Someone did put in a redirect to Abey Belasco from the blank Aby Belasco page. I meant to do this myself but I made an error in the process. His name was of course Abraham and another redirect could be put in from Abraham, as the page I wrote is long and worth the effort to make it easier to find. I hope its not deleted as for a boxer he was not technically a champion, which is usually required to retain a boxer page in Wiki. He was easily rated in the top five for welterweights, but such ratings didn't really exist at the time in the 1820's in England. I've edited close to thirty of the Jewish boxers on wiki, but been careful to make sure they were weight class champions to insure they are not deleted.
What is the process for putting in a redirect? I used the MOVE pulldown, selected article on the left, and typed the name of the page to redirect to (Abey Belasco), but that didn't seem to work. Did I need to put the redirect or move in the Abey Belasco page which was complete? I don't think that would have been correct. Can you describe the process briefly after you select the Move pulldown? Thanks, David Wasserman
#REDIRECT [[location]]
.
Aby Belasco currently contains #REDIRECT [[Abey Belasco]]
. For more information on redirects, see
Help:Redirects. Moving a page is slightly more complicated. As a non-admin, the target page either must not exist or only have one revision. As such, you cannot move
Abey Belasco to

I've also noted you are an administrator with five years of experience on wiki. I've written 100s of articles and would like a few admin privlidges, though I wouldn't use them extensively. For example, it would be nice to have put in a link to an article I had written in its entirety, though I didn't mind asking you as an admin, and I greatly appreciated your help. Apparently, I can't put in redirects myself if they go to articles that have been edited, even if I was the sole writer on the article. I could use a redirect Abraham Belasco to Abey Belasco, but that's up to you. Unfortunately I titled the article Abey Belasco, and I've very rarely seen that abbreviation used, its always Aby Belasco in both Puglistica and Boxiana, the two primary sources for nineteenth century English boxing. Either way, thanks for your help.

Hi Anarchyte, I was wondering if it is enough to add the edit summary "please discuss it on the talk page" was enough to initiate a rollback, or should I pertain to only to my personal area of interest. I now only refer to the red marked edits at the recent edits page. In two edits I was unsure, (both had a consensus final, the 1st I corrected and the 2nd one someone else corrected ) and I'd like to have further counseling. Can I rollback red marked edits with the edit summary "discuss it at the talk page" or not. Thank you for your advice. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 21:43, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Anarchyte,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
