We now have 804 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level 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!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hi, Just a quick reminder that while the sources in the article aren't the best for the GNG, the issue at hand is if the subject meets the GNG. He does. Sources were on the talk page and a web search quickly turns up others. Hobit ( talk) 03:55, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

KDS, I note that you are tending to open discussion at DRN with the filing editor before the other editors have weighed in. While it may or may not have been fine in those instances — I haven't really looked — it's unusual for that to be appropriate. We're there to mediate or moderate discussions, not offer opinions. Offering opinions is perfectly fine at Third Opinion, but DRN (and MEDCOM) are more about facilitating discussion between the parties to try to achieve consensus. Doing so requires volunteers to appear neutral, rather than just coming in as another disputant. It makes DRN appear to be an opinionboard, of which Wikipedia has many, rather than a dispute resolution board. Offering opinions may, of course, be an appropriate part of moderating a dispute depending on the circumstances, but it's rarely appropriate to start with that with none of the other disputants present. About the only exceptions I can think of to waiting for the other disputants to chime in (and closing the case if they do not) is where there should not be any dispute in the first place because either (a) one party (usually the filing party) is unquestionably and utterly editing in violation of policy (and has made no viable argument for a IAR local exception) or (b) where one party is arguing against a clear and unquestionable (and reasonably recent) consensus. But even in those cases, the proper action is not to debate with them, but to close the case with that reason. Thank you for helping with DRN and good moderating.

Hi KDS4444, just a quick note to let you know that I reinstated the previous state of Clam and proposed a merger into Bivalvia so we can establish consensus. I think your move was completely reasonable but with the subsequent discussion on how to deal with clams within the bivalvia article it is clear to me that it is not a completely obvious merge and so would benefit from discussion.
I copied your rationale from Talk:Clam into the merge proposal, if you want to change/reformat/edit that please do. Best wishes |→ Spaully ~talk~ 10:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi KDS4444, I was preparing a reply earlier for this and ready to post but the case has been bot-archived just a few hours back. From history, I see that other cases like 'garage punk' has been unarchived but I am less certain how to adjust extension dates and so forth. Can you help restore so we can continue the discussion?

This is a volunteer roll call sent to you on behalf of the current Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Coordinator, Robert McClenon, and is being sent to you because you have listed yourself as a volunteer at DRN. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to the roll call list. Those who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after May 31, 2017 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after May 31, 2017, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.

What do you mean by "drop in"? I don't understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
@ Morty C-137:— another editor has begin a discussion at Wikipedia's Dispute Resolution Noticeboard regarding the Bill Nye article. You were mentioned in the dispute (did you not receive a notice?) but so far have not responded to it. Are you aware of this? If not, please go to WP:DRN and check it out. I am a volunteer editor who assists with disputes, and it seems you are involved in one. I'd like to help out, but without more participants, this is pointless. Care to join us? KDS4444 ( talk) 18:09, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Nobody notified me, and now that I see it I'm disgusted by the dishonest posting by Anarcho, who's been acting like a bully. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 18:18, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
I just re-read it again. "(shows WP:COMPETENCE is an issue)" this page looks like just more bullying and insults by Anarcho. You go ahead and tell them, I'm not interested in it given that nobody bothered to notify me and then you claim I "chose" not to participate. If you want me to participate, I want to see Anarcho apologize first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Morty C-137 I understand you feel like you have been bullied, and I understand you feel strongly about this issue. I can only do so much here— I have gone out of my way to let you know that your participation is welcome, but I am not going to coerce you into participating in the dispute resolution process if you don't want to be a part of it. It looked from the beginning that you were "pinged" about the discussion, and that subsequent to this you took no steps to participate in it (it sounds like you never got the ping, and I do not know why). Please assume some good faith here— I have no stake in the outcome, and am only trying to help resolve the dispute. I don't get paid to do this, I do it because it feels good to help people find common ground (when it can be found, which isn't always). I understand you feel hurt, but please don't ask me to demand that others offer up apologies. That almost never works. What works is bringing your position to the table and laying it out for others to see it and consider it, knowing you might have made some mistakes and being prepared to accept them. Or maybe you haven't made any such mistakes, but unless you are willing to talk about it, we may never know. By leaving the conversation to others, you also leave the outcome to them. That is an approach that isn't going to serve you well in the long run— Wikipedia is a place full of opportunities to become upset over things, and DRN is one venue for diffusing those emotions, hopefully to help prevent them from flaring up in the future. I haven't checked the DRN page this morning to see what may have happened there since I visited last, I came straight here to my userpage to read your comments. Please take that as a sign of my interest in your position. But I won't coerce, and you don't need to respond to this message if you'd rather not. We can leave it at that, if you like, and I will tell you I am sorry this hasn't worked out. KDS4444 ( talk) 13:44, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Thus far there's been something abusive posted about me, NOBODY bothered to notify me about it, then you decided I had "not chosen to leave a statement nor participate in the discussion" and then said I "may have come to the conclusion that he has been acting inappropriately, and that participating in this dialogue would only make this more evident."
If you can't see how insulting that is, you need to take a step back.
Despite all your claims, it really looks to me like you ARE trying to force, shame, coerce, or otherwise manipulate me into "participating" after I was never informed of the existence of the posting, and you're trying to make me come in with some walk of shame or something based on that.
This is completely unacceptable to me. What you have done here, at least from my view, is enable bullying behavior. I can't "participate" under those conditions because the entire process as laid out started with a bullying attack and is a farce.
I'm happy to discuss or reiterate my points about the non-"Reliable Source" status of a gossip column whose primary sources are a pair of reddit comments on the talkpage of the article, but I will not participate in a farce that I was never informed of where people are trying to put words into my mouth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 15:08, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Oh and since I did see this: you're not accurately reflecting what I've said. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia%3ADispute_resolution_noticeboard&type=revision&diff=780666631&oldid=780654757 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 15:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, so I got your "message" and I see you were just trying to dishonestly bully me the whole time. Thanks for proving it. Morty C-137 ( talk) 12:38, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
There you go again. I did not "jump into an edit war". You were not polite, you were passive-aggressive and threatening. I'm glad you finally said the words "I'm sorry" but then you launch immediately into insinuating I wouldn't have participated? Really? Morty C-137 ( talk) 15:41, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
So it appears the discussion continues, since another editor that was not a part of the discussion but should have been has continued adding what I would consider an unreliable source to the article. I was completely fine with it before this addition. Round and round we go again I guess. I have not touched the article, merely added my thoughts on the talk page and the dispute board. We desperately need a third party or another editor not tied to this (or both) to come to a consensus. I have my suspicions about Pepe, given his/her edit count and his/her user page. Some of Mortys concerns are starting to make sense although I dont necessarily agree with him/her on some of what he/she has said. I am not sure what to do at this point.

"Morty has become acerbic" - KDS4444, if I'm "acerbic", it's because your behavior has made me so. Especially your threats and that insulting "I can't believe you didn't see this coming" comment, trying to blame me for not being willing to participate in your farce under duress. Morty C-137 ( talk) 15:45, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello KDS4444, you made copyright violation with this your edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Euthyneura&type=revision&diff=573974037&oldid=543162843 You can remove the sentence "This article incorporates CC-BY-2.0 text from the reference ..." only if you will write the text in your own words. (That means virtually the text of the whole wikipedia article). Therefore is is better to keep the sentence from the Reference section. Thanks for your attention.

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 804 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Hi, yes, I'm not native English speaker. That section about usage of red flag by anarchists is based on site, which I put in the ref, so I don't understand how you can describe this edit "ref did not support it". This is not true. Did you understand polish and learn it? I think no:
Jak na ironię, jednym z pierwotnych anarchistycznych symboli była czerwona flaga (rzeczywiście, jak zauważają anarchistyczni historycy Nicolas Walter i Heiner Becker, "Kropotkin zawsze wolał czerwoną flagę" [Piotr Kropotkin, Act for Yourselves (Działaj dla siebie samego), s. 128]). [...]
W zgodzie z nimi pozostaje relacja Murraya Bookchina, że "w późniejszych latach anarchiści mieli przyjąć czarną flagę", opowiadającego o hiszpańskim ruchu anarchistycznym w czerwcu 1870 roku [Murray Bookchin, The Spanish Anarchists, s. 57]. W tym czasie anarchiści powszechnie używali czerwonej flagi. [...]
Jednak używanie czerwonej flagi natychmiast nie zanikło. Toteż widzimy, jak Kropotkin napisał w Wyznaniach zbuntowanego (opublikowanych w 1885 roku, ale napisanych między 1880 a 1882) o "anarchistycznych grupach (...) niosących czerwony sztandar rewolucji". Jak zauważa Woodcock, "czarna flaga nie została powszechnie przyjęta przez anarchistów w tym czasie. Wielu, tak jak Kropotkin, wciąż uważało siebie za socjalistów, a czerwoną flagę za swoją również" [Words of a Rebel (Wyznania zbuntowanego), s. 75, s. 225]. Do tego jeszcze odkrywamy, że anarchiści z Chicago używali zarówno czarnych, jak i czerwonych flag przez całe lata osiemdziesiąte XIX wieku. [...]
Po rewolucji rosyjskiej i stoczeniu się jej do dyktatury (najpierw Lenina, potem Stalina) używanie czerwonej flagi przez anarchistów zanikło, gdyż już nie "opowiadała się ona za wolnością" i była kojarzona z partiami komunistycznymi czy też, w najlepszym razie, z biurokratyczną, reformistyczną i autorytarną socjaldemokracją.

We now have 804 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level 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!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

Hi, Just a quick reminder that while the sources in the article aren't the best for the GNG, the issue at hand is if the subject meets the GNG. He does. Sources were on the talk page and a web search quickly turns up others. Hobit ( talk) 03:55, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

KDS, I note that you are tending to open discussion at DRN with the filing editor before the other editors have weighed in. While it may or may not have been fine in those instances — I haven't really looked — it's unusual for that to be appropriate. We're there to mediate or moderate discussions, not offer opinions. Offering opinions is perfectly fine at Third Opinion, but DRN (and MEDCOM) are more about facilitating discussion between the parties to try to achieve consensus. Doing so requires volunteers to appear neutral, rather than just coming in as another disputant. It makes DRN appear to be an opinionboard, of which Wikipedia has many, rather than a dispute resolution board. Offering opinions may, of course, be an appropriate part of moderating a dispute depending on the circumstances, but it's rarely appropriate to start with that with none of the other disputants present. About the only exceptions I can think of to waiting for the other disputants to chime in (and closing the case if they do not) is where there should not be any dispute in the first place because either (a) one party (usually the filing party) is unquestionably and utterly editing in violation of policy (and has made no viable argument for a IAR local exception) or (b) where one party is arguing against a clear and unquestionable (and reasonably recent) consensus. But even in those cases, the proper action is not to debate with them, but to close the case with that reason. Thank you for helping with DRN and good moderating.

Hi KDS4444, just a quick note to let you know that I reinstated the previous state of Clam and proposed a merger into Bivalvia so we can establish consensus. I think your move was completely reasonable but with the subsequent discussion on how to deal with clams within the bivalvia article it is clear to me that it is not a completely obvious merge and so would benefit from discussion.
I copied your rationale from Talk:Clam into the merge proposal, if you want to change/reformat/edit that please do. Best wishes |→ Spaully ~talk~ 10:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi KDS4444, I was preparing a reply earlier for this and ready to post but the case has been bot-archived just a few hours back. From history, I see that other cases like 'garage punk' has been unarchived but I am less certain how to adjust extension dates and so forth. Can you help restore so we can continue the discussion? It's the weekend and I can spare some time, hope to resolve this. Thanks. Shiok ( talk) 11:09, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi I just realised that the recent restore of the thread may have set its expiry to 10-March - there's a date in the source. Can you confirm and if that's correct, will you be marking it as either "Resolved" or "General close" as you said earlier?

This is a volunteer roll call sent to you on behalf of the current Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Coordinator, Robert McClenon, and is being sent to you because you have listed yourself as a volunteer at DRN. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to the roll call list. Those who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after May 31, 2017 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after May 31, 2017, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.

What do you mean by "drop in"? I don't understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
@ Morty C-137:— another editor has begin a discussion at Wikipedia's Dispute Resolution Noticeboard regarding the Bill Nye article. You were mentioned in the dispute (did you not receive a notice?) but so far have not responded to it. Are you aware of this? If not, please go to WP:DRN and check it out. I am a volunteer editor who assists with disputes, and it seems you are involved in one. I'd like to help out, but without more participants, this is pointless. Care to join us? KDS4444 ( talk) 18:09, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Nobody notified me, and now that I see it I'm disgusted by the dishonest posting by Anarcho, who's been acting like a bully. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 18:18, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
I just re-read it again. "(shows WP:COMPETENCE is an issue)" this page looks like just more bullying and insults by Anarcho. You go ahead and tell them, I'm not interested in it given that nobody bothered to notify me and then you claim I "chose" not to participate. If you want me to participate, I want to see Anarcho apologize first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Morty C-137 I understand you feel like you have been bullied, and I understand you feel strongly about this issue. I can only do so much here— I have gone out of my way to let you know that your participation is welcome, but I am not going to coerce you into participating in the dispute resolution process if you don't want to be a part of it. It looked from the beginning that you were "pinged" about the discussion, and that subsequent to this you took no steps to participate in it (it sounds like you never got the ping, and I do not know why). Please assume some good faith here— I have no stake in the outcome, and am only trying to help resolve the dispute. I don't get paid to do this, I do it because it feels good to help people find common ground (when it can be found, which isn't always). I understand you feel hurt, but please don't ask me to demand that others offer up apologies. That almost never works. What works is bringing your position to the table and laying it out for others to see it and consider it, knowing you might have made some mistakes and being prepared to accept them. Or maybe you haven't made any such mistakes, but unless you are willing to talk about it, we may never know. By leaving the conversation to others, you also leave the outcome to them. That is an approach that isn't going to serve you well in the long run— Wikipedia is a place full of opportunities to become upset over things, and DRN is one venue for diffusing those emotions, hopefully to help prevent them from flaring up in the future. I haven't checked the DRN page this morning to see what may have happened there since I visited last, I came straight here to my userpage to read your comments. Please take that as a sign of my interest in your position. But I won't coerce, and you don't need to respond to this message if you'd rather not. We can leave it at that, if you like, and I will tell you I am sorry this hasn't worked out. KDS4444 ( talk) 13:44, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Thus far there's been something abusive posted about me, NOBODY bothered to notify me about it, then you decided I had "not chosen to leave a statement nor participate in the discussion" and then said I "may have come to the conclusion that he has been acting inappropriately, and that participating in this dialogue would only make this more evident."
If you can't see how insulting that is, you need to take a step back.
Despite all your claims, it really looks to me like you ARE trying to force, shame, coerce, or otherwise manipulate me into "participating" after I was never informed of the existence of the posting, and you're trying to make me come in with some walk of shame or something based on that.
This is completely unacceptable to me. What you have done here, at least from my view, is enable bullying behavior. I can't "participate" under those conditions because the entire process as laid out started with a bullying attack and is a farce.
I'm happy to discuss or reiterate my points about the non-"Reliable Source" status of a gossip column whose primary sources are a pair of reddit comments on the talkpage of the article, but I will not participate in a farce that I was never informed of where people are trying to put words into my mouth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 15:08, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Oh and since I did see this: you're not accurately reflecting what I've said. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia%3ADispute_resolution_noticeboard&type=revision&diff=780666631&oldid=780654757 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 ( talk • contribs) 15:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, so I got your "message" and I see you were just trying to dishonestly bully me the whole time. Thanks for proving it. Morty C-137 ( talk) 12:38, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
There you go again. I did not "jump into an edit war". You were not polite, you were passive-aggressive and threatening. I'm glad you finally said the words "I'm sorry" but then you launch immediately into insinuating I wouldn't have participated? Really? Morty C-137 ( talk) 15:41, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
So it appears the discussion continues, since another editor that was not a part of the discussion but should have been has continued adding what I would consider an unreliable source to the article. I was completely fine with it before this addition. Round and round we go again I guess. I have not touched the article, merely added my thoughts on the talk page and the dispute board. We desperately need a third party or another editor not tied to this (or both) to come to a consensus. I have my suspicions about Pepe, given his/her edit count and his/her user page. Some of Mortys concerns are starting to make sense although I dont necessarily agree with him/her on some of what he/she has said. I am not sure what to do at this point.

"Morty has become acerbic" - KDS4444, if I'm "acerbic", it's because your behavior has made me so.

Hello KDS4444, you made copyright violation with this your edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Euthyneura&type=revision&diff=573974037&oldid=543162843 You can remove the sentence "This article incorporates CC-BY-2.0 text from the reference ..." only if you will write the text in your own words.

Hi, yes, I'm not native English speaker. That section about usage of red flag by anarchists is based on site, which I put in the ref, so I don't understand how you can describe this edit "ref did not support it". This is not true. Did you understand polish and learn it? I think no:
Jak na ironię, jednym z pierwotnych anarchistycznych symboli była czerwona flaga (rzeczywiście, jak zauważają anarchistyczni historycy Nicolas Walter i Heiner Becker, "Kropotkin zawsze wolał czerwoną flagę" [Piotr Kropotkin, Act for Yourselves (Działaj dla siebie samego), s. 128]). [...]
W zgodzie z nimi pozostaje relacja Murraya Bookchina, że "w późniejszych latach anarchiści mieli przyjąć czarną flagę", opowiadającego o hiszpańskim ruchu anarchistycznym w czerwcu 1870 roku [Murray Bookchin, The Spanish Anarchists, s. 57]. W tym czasie anarchiści powszechnie używali czerwonej flagi. [...]
Jednak używanie czerwonej flagi natychmiast nie zanikło. Toteż widzimy, jak Kropotkin napisał w Wyznaniach zbuntowanego (opublikowanych w 1885 roku, ale napisanych między 1880 a 1882) o "anarchistycznych grupach (...) niosących czerwony sztandar rewolucji". Jak zauważa Woodcock, "czarna flaga nie została powszechnie przyjęta przez anarchistów w tym czasie. Wielu, tak jak Kropotkin, wciąż uważało siebie za socjalistów, a czerwoną flagę za swoją również" [Words of a Rebel (Wyznania zbuntowanego), s. 75, s. 225]. Do tego jeszcze odkrywamy, że anarchiści z Chicago używali zarówno czarnych, jak i czerwonych flag przez całe lata osiemdziesiąte XIX wieku. [...]
Po rewolucji rosyjskiej i stoczeniu się jej do dyktatury (najpierw Lenina, potem Stalina) używanie czerwonej flagi przez anarchistów zanikło, gdyż już nie "opowiadała się ona za wolnością" i była kojarzona z partiami komunistycznymi czy też, w najlepszym razie, z biurokratyczną, reformistyczną i autorytarną socjaldemokracją.
