This month:
In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.
Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)
With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{
Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=
, category=
, or wikiproject=
, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{
Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}
. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!
The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.
If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.
WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.
And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.
Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p
. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex
. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!
Until next time,

Hi Joe. I take your point regarding links rather than direct references and I will re-do the page over the next month or two to fix that.
I find it amusing that you say that an article in Wikipedia can't reference another article in Wikipedia. Surely almost every article ever published on Wikipedia does so. Believe me, I would much rather rely on an external source than a Wikipedia article written by someone with unknown qualifications.
Finally, the two example authorities you quoted were both written by Peter Hore himself. What I have attempted to do is find external sources to verify the statements he makes in those articles. I have now included them in my draft as 'authorities' because I know Peter Hore as an honest man and prolific author and do not doubt his word.
Time is not on my side but I will get back to this draft as soon as I can. Thanks for your prompt review.

Do not use both date= and year= in citation templates. Other than that, great work at Archaeological record! – Finnusertop ( talk ⋅ contribs) 14:33, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Joe Roe. Thanks very much for correcting my "correction" to Archaeological record regarding the page number of the article referred to. I was obviously way too quick to correct what was not incorrect. I extend my sincere (and embarrassed) apologies.
In the summary of your edit you also noted "surely the official eprint of an article is better than an unauthorized (and poor quality) scan on a blog?". I agree with you. An official eprint is better than a low quality scan. However, the official eprint to which you've directed the reader requires a payment of $25.00 to read anything more than the first page of the article. The low quality scan, however, makes available not only the quote being cited, but also the context of the entire article, and requires no payment at all. In this case, wouldn't you agree that the low quality (but still very readable) scan is preferable to an official eprint? Thank you for your attention and thanks again for having corrected my error.

On 17 August 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Margaret Ursula Jones, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the revisions to my Wikipedia submission. It's been a great learning process.
When I put together the citations of this article I modeled them after the wiki citations from another similar company: /info/en/?search=Heidrick_%26_Struggles
The citations used for Heidrick and Struggles look very similar in nature, the exception being is that Heidrick citations include various Press Releases which I understood were against guidelines. Russell Reynolds Associates looks, at least to me, like they are a notable company in the executive recruiting space as they are in the top 5 according to this list: http://www.northlinepartners.com/pdf/2014_Top40_NorthLine.pdf and ranked just above /info/en/?search=Egon_Zehnder who also does have a Wiki entry. I would like a re-review based on the revenue generated by Russell Reynolds Associates and the quality of citations relative to other wiki entries for other similar types of firms.
Thanks!

Thank you for being willing to review the Bank of Utah article and provide feedback. I obviously need some direction on adding third-party references to the Bank of Utah article. I have been reviewing other banking institutions similar in size and geography, and many of them have less third-party references than the Bank of Utah article, or the links are broken - but they are published. I have also reviewed the other links provided and suggested by Wikipedia to find 'linkable' content, and much of what is available either outdated, isn't relevant, or comes from their corporate web site.
Any direction you can provide to make this article clear for publishing is very much appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce2605 ( talk • contribs) 18:44, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Joe. You certainly remember the merge of " Dating methodologies in archaeology" within " Chronological dating". I'm returning to the latter because I just noticed that, now, after the merge and after some of your edits, there are sentences like "If one looks at the sequence in fig A"... but the fact is that all figures and images have been removed from the page, which causes an obvious inconsistency. I wanted to talk about it, just tell me what you think. Kintaro ( talk) 06:44, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Joe,
The article I created on Gala Wilton F.C. is being contested for deletion. After reviewing the rules, it seems the club have only played at step 11 of the FA tiers, the Gloucestershire County League. I would have thought this level of competition was high enough especially since Stonehouse F.C. are at the same level.
Will this page now be deleted?
I was considering creating an article on Gloucester Rowing Club, founded in 1846, and have an Olympian Beth Rodford as a member:
www.gloucester-rowing.org
Do you think this page would be worth creating?

Hello,
I went over to WP Archaeology and saw your name. I think I have also encountered you at a couple of recent AfD discussions. Anyway, this very poorly written archaeologist BLP about
Joe D. Seger does not indicate notability as there are no references. I found a biography Curriculum Vitae at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, Mississippi State University
[5]. I also checked Google Scholar
here and
here. As you can see, some of his work is listed there. I am wondering if, in your view, you consider this person to be notable. Just from the small amount of info I have gathered, he appears to be marginally notable, but sometimes it is difficult to tell.
Steve Quinn (
talk) 21:22, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
I am going to add that bio from Cobb Institute just to verify he exists and to hopefully verify some of the statements in the Wikipedia article. Steve Quinn ( talk) 21:26, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:The Federal Union title page.jpg. 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).

I like your revisions however the second one you proposed today is much more accurate. The first wrongly presupposes two things; that there is any such scientific bases for "race" and that his comments had any shred of scientific legitimacy. The point of fixing this wording is so that readers in no way will be left to believe that a nobel prize winning scientist was in any way scientifically justified to make the comments he made. Another reason I prefer your second suggested wording is that is specific on who the scientist was speaking of. His words were in no way applicable to all people only to the ones he very clearly denigrated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Landerman56 ( talk • contribs) 19:55, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
I agree with you completely and for awhile I was the only editor attempting to correct this and they used those filibuster and misinformed admins to try to silence me. I will be back shortly so please continue your efforts for discourse. I think another week or so and we go ahead and correct this article if this small group of editors continue to stonewall and refuse to engage. The current wording is and has never been the result of a consensus. Landerman56 ( talk) 19:10, 28 September 2016 (UTC) My advice is not to get sidetracked by claims that somehow you are misunderstanding some Wikipedia policy. Suggest a wording and ask for a replies consisting of yes, no, or an alternate wording. In either case the current wording is not acceptable to anyone except someone who has other motives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Landerman56 ( talk • contribs) 17:55, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Joe Roe/Archives,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Your notice at [6] did not go to a real user. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 01:18, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Joe Roe/Archives,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.
(Sent to all active AfC reviewers) MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 16:33, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello Joe Roe. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as mark pages as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 22:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers.

Kindly refrain from gratuitous accusations of "original research" about things that are heavily referenced in the immediately following section of the article, and do not revert to a version that explicitly endorses a POV that has later proved false, and which you admitted to be so.
Per WP guidelines, I'll assume good faith, regardless of how rare that seems to actually be, and how typical your misbehavior is among passive-aggressive self-appointed guardians of policy. Such rude and unwarranted snark and casual vandalism is a major reason why longtime editors are leaving WP for less politically-policed alternatives with less hassle from foolish, cliqueish, rules-lawyering dullards.

Hello.
I was going to make the Loona Wikipedia Article but I saw that it had previously been deleted.
"Band does not meet the WP:BAND criteria they haven't been launched yet and the project does not seem notable as yet."
"Delete Clearly promotional, no evidence of notability."
Loona is a project girl band based in South Korea. The article would be informative as a lot of people have been curious about Loona and how it'll all work. They're releasing girls every month and they'll be having their own solo debuts as well as a group song with the other members until all 12 members are revealed, which means they'll be formally debuting in September of 2017. This is a never-before-seen tactic, and lots of people are confused as to what is happening with the group, they are launching their 3rd member this month and I feel as if people would like to know more about them, and wouldn't be promotional, yet properly informative.
Could I please re-create the article?

Solodev is one of the fastest growing enterprise software companies in the country right now and I read your note that some "local news coverage" doesn't demonstrate notability. Clearly you didn't read the article or even Google Solodev. How about making the Inc. 5000 two years in a row? How about winning the global award for Best Cloud CMS? How about the half a dozen articles written by Amazon about our partnership or Solodev's Amazon Web Services Marketplace listing?

This month:
In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.
Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)
With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{
Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=
, category=
, or wikiproject=
, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{
Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}
. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!
The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.
If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.
WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.
And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.
Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p
. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex
. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!
Until next time,

Hi Joe. I take your point regarding links rather than direct references and I will re-do the page over the next month or two to fix that.
I find it amusing that you say that an article in Wikipedia can't reference another article in Wikipedia. Surely almost every article ever published on Wikipedia does so. Believe me, I would much rather rely on an external source than a Wikipedia article written by someone with unknown qualifications.
Finally, the two example authorities you quoted were both written by Peter Hore himself. What I have attempted to do is find external sources to verify the statements he makes in those articles. I have now included them in my draft as 'authorities' because I know Peter Hore as an honest man and prolific author and do not doubt his word.
Time is not on my side but I will get back to this draft as soon as I can. Thanks for your prompt review.

Do not use both date= and year= in citation templates. Other than that, great work at Archaeological record! – Finnusertop ( talk ⋅ contribs) 14:33, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Joe Roe. Thanks very much for correcting my "correction" to Archaeological record regarding the page number of the article referred to. I was obviously way too quick to correct what was not incorrect. I extend my sincere (and embarrassed) apologies.
In the summary of your edit you also noted "surely the official eprint of an article is better than an unauthorized (and poor quality) scan on a blog?". I agree with you. An official eprint is better than a low quality scan. However, the official eprint to which you've directed the reader requires a payment of $25.00 to read anything more than the first page of the article. The low quality scan, however, makes available not only the quote being cited, but also the context of the entire article, and requires no payment at all. In this case, wouldn't you agree that the low quality (but still very readable) scan is preferable to an official eprint? Thank you for your attention and thanks again for having corrected my error.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the revisions to my Wikipedia submission. It's been a great learning process.
When I put together the citations of this article I modeled them after the wiki citations from another similar company: /info/en/?search=Heidrick_%26_Struggles
The citations used for Heidrick and Struggles look very similar in nature, the exception being is that Heidrick citations include various Press Releases which I understood were against guidelines. Russell Reynolds Associates looks, at least to me, like they are a notable company in the executive recruiting space as they are in the top 5 according to this list: http://www.northlinepartners.com/pdf/2014_Top40_NorthLine.pdf and ranked just above /info/en/?search=Egon_Zehnder who also does have a Wiki entry. I would like a re-review based on the revenue generated by Russell Reynolds Associates and the quality of citations relative to other wiki entries for other similar types of firms.
Thanks!

Thank you for being willing to review the Bank of Utah article and provide feedback. I obviously need some direction on adding third-party references to the Bank of Utah article. I have been reviewing other banking institutions similar in size and geography, and many of them have less third-party references than the Bank of Utah article, or the links are broken - but they are published. I have also reviewed the other links provided and suggested by Wikipedia to find 'linkable' content, and much of what is available either outdated, isn't relevant, or comes from their corporate web site.

Hi Joe. You certainly remember the merge of " Dating methodologies in archaeology" within " Chronological dating". I'm returning to the latter because I just noticed that, now, after the merge and after some of your edits, there are sentences like "If one looks at the sequence in fig A"... but the fact is that all figures and images have been removed from the page, which causes an obvious inconsistency.

Hi Joe,
The article I created on Gala Wilton F.C. is being contested for deletion. After reviewing the rules, it seems the club have only played at step 11 of the FA tiers, the Gloucestershire County League. I would have thought this level of competition was high enough especially since Stonehouse F.C. are at the same level.
Will this page now be deleted?
I was considering creating an article on Gloucester Rowing Club, founded in 1846, and have an Olympian Beth Rodford as a member:
www.gloucester-rowing.org
Do you think this page would be worth creating?

Hello,
I went over to WP Archaeology and saw your name. I think I have also encountered you at a couple of recent AfD discussions. Anyway, this very poorly written archaeologist BLP about
Joe D. Seger does not indicate notability as there are no references. I found a biography Curriculum Vitae at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, Mississippi State University
[5]. I also checked Google Scholar
here and
here. As you can see, some of his work is listed there. I am wondering if, in your view, you consider this person to be notable. Just from the small amount of info I have gathered, he appears to be marginally notable, but sometimes it is difficult to tell.
Steve Quinn (
talk) 21:22, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
I am going to add that bio from Cobb Institute just to verify he exists and to hopefully verify some of the statements in the Wikipedia article. Steve Quinn ( talk) 21:26, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:The Federal Union title page.jpg. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 04:02, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
I like your revisions however the second one you proposed today is much more accurate. The first wrongly presupposes two things; that there is any such scientific bases for "race" and that his comments had any shred of scientific legitimacy. The point of fixing this wording is so that readers in no way will be left to believe that a nobel prize winning scientist was in any way scientifically justified to make the comments he made. Another reason I prefer your second suggested wording is that is specific on who the scientist was speaking of. His words were in no way applicable to all people only to the ones he very clearly denigrated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Landerman56 ( talk • contribs) 19:55, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
I agree with you completely and for awhile I was the only editor attempting to correct this and they used those filibuster and misinformed admins to try to silence me. I will be back shortly so please continue your efforts for discourse. I think another week or so and we go ahead and correct this article if this small group of editors continue to stonewall and refuse to engage. The current wording is and has never been the result of a consensus. Landerman56 ( talk) 19:10, 28 September 2016 (UTC) My advice is not to get sidetracked by claims that somehow you are misunderstanding some Wikipedia policy. Suggest a wording and ask for a replies consisting of yes, no, or an alternate wording. In either case the current wording is not acceptable to anyone except someone who has other motives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Landerman56 ( talk • contribs) 17:55, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Joe Roe/Archives,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Your notice at [6] did not go to a real user. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 01:18, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Joe Roe/Archives,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.
(Sent to all active AfC reviewers) MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 16:33, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello Joe Roe. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as mark pages as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 22:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

Kindly refrain from gratuitous accusations of "original research" about things that are heavily referenced in the immediately following section of the article, and do not revert to a version that explicitly endorses a POV that has later proved false, and which you admitted to be so.
Per WP guidelines, I'll assume good faith, regardless of how rare that seems to actually be, and how typical your misbehavior is among passive-aggressive self-appointed guardians of policy. Such rude and unwarranted snark and casual vandalism is a major reason why longtime editors are leaving WP for less politically-policed alternatives with less hassle from foolish, cliqueish, rules-lawyering dullards.

Hello.
I was going to make the Loona Wikipedia Article but I saw that it had previously been deleted.
"Band does not meet the WP:BAND criteria they haven't been launched yet and the project does not seem notable as yet."
"Delete Clearly promotional, no evidence of notability."
Loona is a project girl band based in South Korea. The article would be informative as a lot of people have been curious about Loona and how it'll all work. They're releasing girls every month and they'll be having their own solo debuts as well as a group song with the other members until all 12 members are revealed, which means they'll be formally debuting in September of 2017. This is a never-before-seen tactic, and lots of people are confused as to what is happening with the group, they are launching their 3rd member this month and I feel as if people would like to know more about them, and wouldn't be promotional, yet properly informative.
Could I please re-create the article?

Solodev is one of the fastest growing enterprise software companies in the country right now and I read your note that some "local news coverage" doesn't demonstrate notability. Clearly you didn't read the article or even Google Solodev. How about making the Inc. 5000 two years in a row? How about winning the global award for Best Cloud CMS? How about the half a dozen articles written by Amazon about our partnership or Solodev's Amazon Web Services Marketplace listing?
