Hello, Elli,
This page wasn't "incoherent gibberish"...if the words are understandable, it doesn't qualify as gibberish. But it was an IP editor creating user pages in another editor's user space so it wasn't appropriate and I have deleted the page. But it really has to be incoherent to qualify as CSD G1. Thank you.

Hi Elli. Thank you for your suggestions on improving the maps I made for the 2010 Texas House of Representatives election. I downloaded the programs you suggested and I was able to get them to work; however, I still need some help in getting working maps for the 2008-2012 House maps. I could theoretically just use Inkscape to edit the 2018 map for the 2012 elections, but there were slight changes to the maps made between the 2012 and 2014 elections, so the map's district boundaries would not be fully accurate. I managed to find shapefiles for both the 2002-2010 and the 2012 maps here:
2002-2010: https://data.capitol.texas.gov/dataset/planh100/resource/0f45c47e-d691-4da1-b58e-2aa604302b65
2012: https://data.capitol.texas.gov/dataset/planh283/resource/99dad859-5b7f-440b-aa33-1981ed221f24
I was also able to get them to load in qGIS, but I was unable to export them to SVG files at an acceptable resolution. The 2018 SVG map was about 100x larger in file size than the one I was able to export for 2012, but I was unable to find any way to significantly increase the export's resolution to match it. Since I have provided links to the correct shapefiles, would you either be able to make proper SVG maps with these or instruct me in the proper steps to get a good map resolution? If you were to make maps for 2012 and either 2008 or 2010, I would be able to use Inkscape to fill in the gaps myself to create maps for pages possibly going all the way back to 2002. Thank you for your help! OutlawRun ( talk) 18:22, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
On 26 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2019 Lakewood semi-truck crash, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the driver in a 2019 truck crash received a sentence of 110 years in prison due to mandatory sentencing laws in Colorado? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2019 Lakewood semi-truck crash. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, 2019 Lakewood semi-truck crash), 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.

Hello, Elli,
When you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/RFD/etc.), please post a notification on the talk page of the page creator so they are aware of why the page they created has been tagged for deletion. I see no message at all on the page creator's talk page.
Please make sure your Twinkle Preferences have the "Notify page creator" box checked off and that all CSD criteria are selected as well. I believe the default is to only have a few CSD criteria selected but they all need to be selected. Thank you for your contributions. Liz Read! Talk! 02:41, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Hello, Elli,
If for some reason, you choose not to leave a redirect during a page move, please check "What links here" for redirects to the previous location and correct them to point to the new page title. Otherwise, they become broken redirects and can get deleted by one of our bots if someone doesn't catch them in time. They are often redirects we want to keep because once they are deleted, it's unlikely someone will think to restore them. But the easiest thing to do is to leave a redirect during a page move and then a different bot will retarget the redirects to point to the new location.
This is especially important with moves that are the result of vandalism. Often page movers don't want to leave behind a redirect because the old page title that was the result of vandalism was so bad but Wikipedia's bots are very quick and a few minutes after a legitimate article has been moved to a bad title, all of its redirects were changed. So leaving behind a redirect will ensure they are not lost. Many thanks for all of your contributions, I seem to see your name all over Wikipedia these days! Liz Read! Talk! 22:53, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Elli, could I ask you to add the Template:Three Kingdoms editnotice to Template:Campaignbox End of Han and Template:Campaignbox Three Kingdoms? It may help prevent good-faith editors from incorrectly adding fictional battles like the Battle of Hulao Pass. I'm asking you because apparently only template editors (like you) are allowed to do that, and I just so happened to see that you renamed the Template:Three Kingdoms editnotice last October. I think the editnotice is already quite helpful for many end of Han / Three Kingdoms themed articles, and I think it's a good idea to extend it to templates such as these campaignboxes as well. In fact, I'm considering whether we should also introduce such editnotices for other periods in military history, where good-faith editors are at risk of adding fictional battles to articles or templates because these battles are mentioned in sources that are nevertheless not always reliable for writing military history. (Yesterday I launched a deletion discussion of three such templates with a mix of non-historical, semi-historical and historical battles, and I just remembered this Three Kingdoms editnotice as setting an exemplary standard in separating military history and fiction on English Wikipedia).

Hello, Elli. Yesterday you created some redirects for me.

Hello Elli,
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 805 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.

Hello Elli,
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: 12784 articles, as of 18:00, 3 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.

Hi, my name is Gary Breeze. I designed and built this memorial. It was not facilitated by Memorials by Artists as is mentioned in the citation. Initial enquiries were made to them but they didn't project manage this. My objection is based on the fact that their citation links to their website which is disingenuous. Also, as I understand it, I am not permitted a link to my website as this would be advertising. If that's not the case then please create a legitimate link. In either case, please remove the Lettering Arts Trust link. Thanks -- Gary Breeze ( talk) 08:22, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
Hey Elli! Long time user of Wikipedia but have never edited or contributed to any articles. I would be interested in learning more about what I can do to help and how the process works.

Hello Elli,
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.

Hello, Elli,
This page wasn't "incoherent gibberish"...if the words are understandable, it doesn't qualify as gibberish. But it was an IP editor creating user pages in another editor's user space so it wasn't appropriate and I have deleted the page. But it really has to be incoherent to qualify as CSD G1. Thank you.

Hi Elli. Thank you for your suggestions on improving the maps I made for the 2010 Texas House of Representatives election. I downloaded the programs you suggested and I was able to get them to work; however, I still need some help in getting working maps for the 2008-2012 House maps. I could theoretically just use Inkscape to edit the 2018 map for the 2012 elections, but there were slight changes to the maps made between the 2012 and 2014 elections, so the map's district boundaries would not be fully accurate. I managed to find shapefiles for both the 2002-2010 and the 2012 maps here:
2002-2010: https://data.capitol.texas.gov/dataset/planh100/resource/0f45c47e-d691-4da1-b58e-2aa604302b65
2012: https://data.capitol.texas.gov/dataset/planh283/resource/99dad859-5b7f-440b-aa33-1981ed221f24
I was also able to get them to load in qGIS, but I was unable to export them to SVG files at an acceptable resolution. The 2018 SVG map was about 100x larger in file size than the one I was able to export for 2012, but I was unable to find any way to significantly increase the export's resolution to match it. Since I have provided links to the correct shapefiles, would you either be able to make proper SVG maps with these or instruct me in the proper steps to get a good map resolution? If you were to make maps for 2012 and either 2008 or 2010, I would be able to use Inkscape to fill in the gaps myself to create maps for pages possibly going all the way back to 2002. Thank you for your help! OutlawRun ( talk) 18:22, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

Hello, Elli,
If for some reason, you choose not to leave a redirect during a page move, please check "What links here" for redirects to the previous location and correct them to point to the new page title. Otherwise, they become broken redirects and can get deleted by one of our bots if someone doesn't catch them in time. They are often redirects we want to keep because once they are deleted, it's unlikely someone will think to restore them. But the easiest thing to do is to leave a redirect during a page move and then a different bot will retarget the redirects to point to the new location.
This is especially important with moves that are the result of vandalism. Often page movers don't want to leave behind a redirect because the old page title that was the result of vandalism was so bad but Wikipedia's bots are very quick and a few minutes after a legitimate article has been moved to a bad title, all of its redirects were changed. So leaving behind a redirect will ensure they are not lost. Many thanks for all of your contributions, I seem to see your name all over Wikipedia these days! Liz Read! Talk! 22:53, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Elli, could I ask you to add the Template:Three Kingdoms editnotice to Template:Campaignbox End of Han and Template:Campaignbox Three Kingdoms? It may help prevent good-faith editors from incorrectly adding fictional battles like the Battle of Hulao Pass. I'm asking you because apparently only template editors (like you) are allowed to do that, and I just so happened to see that you renamed the Template:Three Kingdoms editnotice last October. I think the editnotice is already quite helpful for many end of Han / Three Kingdoms themed articles, and I think it's a good idea to extend it to templates such as these campaignboxes as well. In fact, I'm considering whether we should also introduce such editnotices for other periods in military history, where good-faith editors are at risk of adding fictional battles to articles or templates because these battles are mentioned in sources that are nevertheless not always reliable for writing military history. (Yesterday I launched a deletion discussion of three such templates with a mix of non-historical, semi-historical and historical battles, and I just remembered this Three Kingdoms editnotice as setting an exemplary standard in separating military history and fiction on English Wikipedia).

Hello Elli,
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 805 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.

Hello Elli,
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: 12784 articles, as of 18:00, 3 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.

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

hi, namaste i myself Sripad R sharma , am a new contributor for this wide knowledge and highly educated Wikipedia. I do believe as if I do have a relation of thirst and water with Wikipedia. As I am new to the huge resourceful Wikipedia, I had published my very first draft article on 3 July 2022. The Wikipedia page had clarified that the draft article published would be sent for a check. But I have not been updated the latest result...I, a well wisher of Wikipedia would request the enthusiastic officials to code a tab where contributors can easily get updated with the latest information about their article. I would like to also request for my article's progress. Wikipedia's well wisher Sripad R sharma thank you -- Sripad R sharma ( talk) 11:21, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, my name is Gary Breeze. I designed and built this memorial. It was not facilitated by Memorials by Artists as is mentioned in the citation. Initial enquiries were made to them but they didn't project manage this. My objection is based on the fact that their citation links to their website which is disingenuous. Also, as I understand it, I am not permitted a link to my website as this would be advertising. If that's not the case then please create a legitimate link. In either case, please remove the Lettering Arts Trust link. Thanks -- Gary Breeze ( talk) 08:22, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
Hey Elli! Long time user of Wikipedia but have never edited or contributed to any articles. I would be interested in learning more about what I can do to help and how the process works. I hold two bachelor's degrees (one in Exercise & Sports Science and another in History) and plan to pursue a Master's Degree in History in Fall 2023.
Thank you! -- Daddygotem ( talk) 20:44, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello Elli,
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.
