Hi Hey man im Josh. This is Diane. aka Floomerfelt. I edit Lonnie Burr's page and am connecting with you to let you know he didn't intend anything negative. He is 100% a not-into-computers guy, who apparently decided to try something on his own. I'm not even sure what it was he did! I'm still trying to get smart enough to add all of the necessary footnotes to verify the information's accuracy. But while I'm a whiz at Word, Google and some fundraising programs, Wikipedia footnotes protocol still has me stumped. Maybe it's because I'm almost 78??

Hello Hey man im josh,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Hey Josh, I'm the person that has been editing the Casablanca Airport page. Look, of course I understand where you're coming from with the citations. I agree very much that referencing content is a fundamental thing on a Wiki page, but in the field of airline destinations that is just very hard to do sometimes. In Casablanca's case, I have removed a lot more than I added in terms of routes. If I take Flynas for example, flying to Jeddah, there are plenty of sources online that announce the route, but if I go on the Flynas website it becomes pretty clear there are no more direct flights between the two cities. What is then the right thing to do here? Should I include a source that links to the Flynas website? Because that is pretty vague as well. There are plenty of other examples, such as S7 to Mosocow, RAM to Beijing, Saudia to Medina etc.. How can anything ever be removed if airlines hardly give official statements for discontinuing flights? In terms of new routes, I do my best to provide sources (such as with Air Côte d'Ivoire to Abidjan), and I can understand you are a bit more skeptical. Still though, a source may not tell the whole story: a seasonal flight can become a permanent flight, routes may start later than originally planned (see the flight to Alexandria). If I look on any big airport wiki, there really aren't hundreds of sources next to every single destination in order to verify that they indeed run the route. So I understand you, but the alternative is staying with a horrendously outdated destinations page with sources from 2017 and 2018, only because you dogmatically have to provide external sources that the route is run. Is there a way to find a compromise in this topic? 81.173.79.58 ( talk) 15:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

You should review the difference between a ban and a block. See WP:BLOCKBANDIFF. In the 2 or 3 summaries where you stated it was a ban, it would have been at least if not more correct to say that it was a block. Izno ( talk) 05:37, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey man im josh - Fritz Neumayr played professional soccer in the top league at the time in the Gauliga and played in the top flight 1931 German football championship and was the captain of his team. That would qualify him for notability.
I included the reference to his other team just to prove that he did play for them. You may not see why it is necessary, but multiple people on here would love to get their name on the page by slapping the "lack of sources" message for missing that.
I think we also need to keep in mind here that:
1) This is 1930's Germany where the internet did not exist yet, so there's not going to be ESPN articles on him, yet alone videos or photos like there would be Messi.
2) I don't speak German, which limits search results. I can't go try to see if there's some old german newspaper archive where I could search this up.
3) We are limited by book availability. No one in the US can go to the library and check out various German soccer books for free. I currently have a book from Germany on the way to settle other German soccer arguments, however it cost me $70 and it will take weeks to come. I have no doubt that I could order a book from here - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSV_1860_M%C3%BCnchen#Einzelnachweise and prove he was written about, but it's not really worth $30-$70 to me to do it and as it stands, the article will be long gone by the time that book would come. If you'd like to contribute to purchasing a book for this, I'd be happy to put the order in.
4) He was a defender. Defenders don't really appear in statlines since they don't really score or assist on goals or try to save goals.

I noticed at J. T. Barrett you removed from the infobox several awards, citing NFLINFOBOXNOT.

Hi Josh. I wonder if you could have a look at the changes made by IP editor 60.88.113.10?

Persistent addition of unsourced content. I think that's the one that you're referring to. It looks like Engr. Smitty is likely aware of the issue, as they've reverted these IPs quite a few times. Hey man im josh ( talk) 14:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Josh, do you realize that we had 1,061 G13 eligible drafts to review over the past 36 hours? Our typical workload is around 150-225 expiring drafts/day so this was almost like a week's work in one day. Between several editors using AWB to do mass-editing of drafts back on August 28th and 3 extra days of the month, it was like the perfect storm for expiring drafts.
You made major progress tonight and I took care of a bunch more. But I'm sure there will still be some drafts left over to review on User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible in the morning. Thank you so much for all of your work, it would have taken me days to get through all of them. Liz Read! Talk! 06:37, 1 March 2023 (UTC) |

Hello Hey man im josh, if I may offer some friendly advice, it might be wise to apply a degree of caution when you use the Rollback feature. Your recent use of Rollback on Clone Trooper appears inappropriate and is not in line with Wikipedia:Rollback and the guidance given specifically:
@ Ponyo: As you say. RossButsy ( talk) 00:35, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
To revert obvious vandalism and other edits where the reason for reverting is absolutely clear. I think the reason for reverting was absolutely obvious and no competent editor would restore it.

Hey, Josh,
I hope you are doing well this week. I just wanted to remind you about the upcoming time change this weekend (I believe Canada follows this custom as well). This is probably an unnecessary reminder but I thought I'd note it any way as date and time plays such a key role in determining when we tag and delete expiring drafts. But I know my screen displays both my local time and UTC time and yours might as well. It's nice for those few weeks of the year when the time period from six months ago aligns with our current time period and you don't have to make mental adjustments. And it looks like after a couple heavy G13 days of over 200 drafts, we have several lighter days coming up.
Any way, thanks again for all you do here and have a good weekend (minus one hour!). Liz Read! Talk! 23:25, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

P.S I don't suppose you could have a look at Draft:Helge Brinkeback when you get a minute. It has been reverted back to draft twice and I don't get why. There are several book refs that are listed with info about him, as well as various listings elsewhere. He is not going to be found on any recent web pages (such as a team profile) because he was in his prime in the early 1950s.

The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Hey Josh, I'm the person that has been editing the Casablanca Airport page. Look, of course I understand where you're coming from with the citations. I agree very much that referencing content is a fundamental thing on a Wiki page, but in the field of airline destinations that is just very hard to do sometimes. In Casablanca's case, I have removed a lot more than I added in terms of routes. If I take Flynas for example, flying to Jeddah, there are plenty of sources online that announce the route, but if I go on the Flynas website it becomes pretty clear there are no more direct flights between the two cities. What is then the right thing to do here? Should I include a source that links to the Flynas website? Because that is pretty vague as well. There are plenty of other examples, such as S7 to Mosocow, RAM to Beijing, Saudia to Medina etc.. How can anything ever be removed if airlines hardly give official statements for discontinuing flights? In terms of new routes, I do my best to provide sources (such as with Air Côte d'Ivoire to Abidjan), and I can understand you are a bit more skeptical. Still though, a source may not tell the whole story: a seasonal flight can become a permanent flight, routes may start later than originally planned (see the flight to Alexandria). If I look on any big airport wiki, there really aren't hundreds of sources next to every single destination in order to verify that they indeed run the route. So I understand you, but the alternative is staying with a horrendously outdated destinations page with sources from 2017 and 2018, only because you dogmatically have to provide external sources that the route is run. Is there a way to find a compromise in this topic? 81.173.79.58 ( talk) 15:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Congratulations on your being in 3rd place for redirect reviews for 2022 at a total of 21,379 redirect reviews made. That is really impressive! I am hoping to graduate the NPP reviewer school soon, and then maybe I can follow in your footsteps a bit as well once I get that perm. TY again for all that you do to help improve Wikipedia. — Moops ⋠ T⋡ 22:29, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

You should review the difference between a ban and a block. See WP:BLOCKBANDIFF. In the 2 or 3 summaries where you stated it was a ban, it would have been at least if not more correct to say that it was a block. Izno ( talk) 05:37, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey man im josh - Fritz Neumayr played professional soccer in the top league at the time in the Gauliga and played in the top flight 1931 German football championship and was the captain of his team. That would qualify him for notability.
I included the reference to his other team just to prove that he did play for them. You may not see why it is necessary, but multiple people on here would love to get their name on the page by slapping the "lack of sources" message for missing that.
I think we also need to keep in mind here that:
1) This is 1930's Germany where the internet did not exist yet, so there's not going to be ESPN articles on him, yet alone videos or photos like there would be Messi.
2) I don't speak German, which limits search results. I can't go try to see if there's some old german newspaper archive where I could search this up.
3) We are limited by book availability. No one in the US can go to the library and check out various German soccer books for free. I currently have a book from Germany on the way to settle other German soccer arguments, however it cost me $70 and it will take weeks to come. I have no doubt that I could order a book from here - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSV_1860_M%C3%BCnchen#Einzelnachweise and prove he was written about, but it's not really worth $30-$70 to me to do it and as it stands, the article will be long gone by the time that book would come. If you'd like to contribute to purchasing a book for this, I'd be happy to put the order in.
4) He was a defender. Defenders don't really appear in statlines since they don't really score or assist on goals or try to save goals.

I noticed at J. T. Barrett you removed from the infobox several awards, citing NFLINFOBOXNOT. While I agree the "offensive bowl game mvp" should not be added, I'm not seeing what says major conference-wide awards such as the Greise-Brees QBOTY are not to be added. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Hi Josh. I wonder if you could have a look at the changes made by IP editor 60.88.113.10? I have no idea about basketball players and I don't have time to verify all the changes, made with no citation or edit summary. There was another one making similar changes a week or two ago, who I think was eventually blocked by an admin, but I don't remember who. Thanks.

Persistent addition of unsourced content. I think that's the one that you're referring to. It looks like Engr. Smitty is likely aware of the issue, as they've reverted these IPs quite a few times. Hey man im josh ( talk) 14:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
With regards to the proposed deletions to the fox Creek Tributaries. Do what I did in moving the content to the main Creek and making a redirect if you really want to help Wikipedia, instead of deleting the information all together.

How is that you just find redirects to review? Or is it that you just come across them over time? Is there a way to sort by just those? Now that I have the NPP perm (on trial for another week or so.. then hopefully it is made permanent), I'd like to help in what ways that I can. TY — Moops ⋠ T⋡ 22:03, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing all my redirects to Government Degree College, Kalakote.

Hi Josh, I wonder if you can help. I recently attempted to move a page from my Sandbox to create a new article and it redirects to the previous article I created.

Hey, Josh, do you realize that we had 1,061 G13 eligible drafts to review over the past 36 hours? Our typical workload is around 150-225 expiring drafts/day so this was almost like a week's work in one day. Between several editors using AWB to do mass-editing of drafts back on August 28th and 3 extra days of the month, it was like the perfect storm for expiring drafts.
You made major progress tonight and I took care of a bunch more. But I'm sure there will still be some drafts left over to review on User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible in the morning. Thank you so much for all of your work, it would have taken me days to get through all of them. Liz Read! Talk! 06:37, 1 March 2023 (UTC) |

Hello Hey man im josh, if I may offer some friendly advice, it might be wise to apply a degree of caution when you use the Rollback feature. Your recent use of Rollback on Clone Trooper appears inappropriate and is not in line with Wikipedia:Rollback and the guidance given specifically:
@ Ponyo: As you say. RossButsy ( talk) 00:35, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
To revert obvious vandalism and other edits where the reason for reverting is absolutely clear. I think the reason for reverting was absolutely obvious and no competent editor would restore it. I appreciate that you accepted Ponyo's feedback, but I wanted to point you to a relevant bit of text. Hey man im josh ( talk) 00:53, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
No problem furthermore then. It just seemed a bit unnecessary on my end when a simple revert would have probably sufficed RossButsy ( talk) 00:56, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Josh,
I hope you are doing well this week. I just wanted to remind you about the upcoming time change this weekend (I believe Canada follows this custom as well). This is probably an unnecessary reminder but I thought I'd note it any way as date and time plays such a key role in determining when we tag and delete expiring drafts. But I know my screen displays both my local time and UTC time and yours might as well. It's nice for those few weeks of the year when the time period from six months ago aligns with our current time period and you don't have to make mental adjustments. And it looks like after a couple heavy G13 days of over 200 drafts, we have several lighter days coming up.
Any way, thanks again for all you do here and have a good weekend (minus one hour!). Liz Read! Talk! 23:25, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

P.S I don't suppose you could have a look at Draft:Helge Brinkeback when you get a minute. It has been reverted back to draft twice and I don't get why. There are several book refs that are listed with info about him, as well as various listings elsewhere. He is not going to be found on any recent web pages (such as a team profile) because he was in his prime in the early 1950s. He is the only Swedish champion out of 70 years of champions that is missing an article page. Any advice would be great. Have a good day. Pyeongchang ( talk) 14:23, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
