Hi Kudpung, you have tagged my page for deletion because it was copied from another page. The reason I had to copy it to this page was that my other page was not accepted for publication due to it having a wrong name. Please can you keep this one and delete the other one?

Hi Kudpung,
It's nice to hear from you, thanks for taking your time to look at the page I created for SAADO - Smile Again Africa Development Organization (SAADO). I would like to request a little more time before you delete the page so that I may learn the ropes on this.Please let me know what I should change or add to have the page there. Smile Again Africa Development Organization is an organization that has really impacted the youth, women and vulnerable children of South Sudan and I feel that given a chance here, the organization will be able to reach and assist more people. Any assistance from you will be highly appreciated.

Hate to say it, but the FAC comments are pretty much correct as far as the overall sourcing and formatting issues go. I didn't spend a lot of time on the content, so no substantive comments there other than to say that it seems a little disorganized and clearly has suffered from driveby editors. But, the large number of paragraphs and statements hanging out there with no sourcing at all are definitely a problem. My thought would be to maybe go back to what the article looked like when it passed GA and rebuild from there. As for time and effort, I know that most of the time I've ever done a FAC, I either have a team that includes people who are strong on stuff where I am not (like nitpicking citation formatting for consistency) or, yeah, 100 hours... I'd say that sourcing the unsourced -- or chopping the unsourced -- is a starting place -- the article risks a GAR if that is not done. You might have to redo some of the sourcing if you can't access the original works used (which sucks, no other way to put it). I don't see the need to split the article, yet anyway, but some general copyediting and tightening up of prose might alleviate the concerns of the editors who thought things were too wordy. Consistent formatting is huge and running a check on deadlinks is also a big deal. FAC hangs on sourcing; the rest is usually just discussions over copyediting that can often be fixed during the FAC itself. Thinking back on something where I was a minor player, when I helped on the rainbow trout article's FAC, we did a LOT of work on it during its FAC run as well as in the leadup. I've described the process as "daunting" and exhausting. If you want to work on it and need someone to help on the nitpicky stuff, I most certainly know nothing about the topic so have no agenda, but would be willing to do some wikignoming.

Hi Kudpung, thanks for the above. I really enjoy reviewing a good article, particularly one that is missing a few vital references, and are extremely difficult to squirrel out like this. I was reading your bio with interest and I noticed your dad worked on Radar during the war.

Saw the above comment about radar. I created Russell and Sigurd Varian, who invented the klystron, and found the topic fascinating, even though I knew nothing about it before starting on the article. (Yes, there's a horse connection... there's ALWAYS a horse connection... LOL!). That's an article I've thought about taking to GA and would value input, comments, or even collaborators.

I would respectfully counsel you not to threaten me with bans, etc. Without investigating and knowing the FULL CONTEXT of the situation, which you are obviously blatnently unaware of. I simply directed a user to stop making edits to my pages and edits without being able to show support in fine and flawless detail for the edits which they failed or refused to provide to a level that satisfies a reasonable basis for the edits., where apparently the user failed to carefully read the references I gave in the material.

Hello Kudpung - cross-posting from The Teahouse... The main BBC News site is running a piece on tomorrow's edit-a-thon for women, encouraging the public (i.e. BBC readers/viewers) to participate across multiple global events.

Hello, Kudpung,
Great thanks for the excellent completion of the discussion on the Mineralogy Barnstar.
You are right - shelves filled with massive volumes of instructions can cause even more frustration, than their complete absence. But, probably, in the area of the creation of Barnstars it will be nice to have just several hints, to help the debuting authors navigate the new situation. Personally, trying to manage this process, I felt myself blindfolded and completely disorientated (for example, my invitation to discuss a new Barnstar on Teahouse), until Editor Gestrid kindly explained to me a situation and pointed out the error; and I thought, that something was wrong with the arrangement of the discussion procedure, until you suddenly and remarkably have completed it. Now, in contrast to the start, I feel confident in the Barnstars’ space. Thank you very much again.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi, Kudpung - I got your notice that you "unreviewed" Saskia Lettmaier so I need a bit more info.

Hi Kudpung, thank you for assigning NPP rights to me the other day. A couple of (probably naïve) points. Would it be worthwhile or possible to voluntarily appoint particular patrollers to the back of the queue for a month or so? I'm sure many would oblige.

@
BethNaught,
IJBall, and
RexxS:, bear with me even if this looks as if it’s going to be TL;DR.
This issue represents a classic example of a collision between idealism and pragmatism. At the highest level it’s an area which calls for an independent, apolitical deciding body, not dissimilar to the recently created British Supreme Court that took the Law Lords away from the ‘firm’ that creates the legislature. It’s also not the the Board of Trustees which in recent times has proven to be unstable to the point perhaps, of even being wagged by the tail of the C -level staff and their CEO; it's also not our Arbcom - most certainly not, whatever their individual members might think.
There is a firm belief within the WMF that they own the project - well, perhaps they do from the perspective of American corporate law but they fail to admit that without the volunteers providing and maintaining the content there would be no encyclopaedia as we know it, no funds to provide the software and servers and no resources to pay the salaries of its servants. When asked to explain itself - an attitude which I have experienced on several very real, real life occasions - they just turn around and head for the nearest restroom on an unuttered ‘non of your business’ expression, or, as in the case of one junior staffer, actually telling a resoected editor to f*** off.
The division of labour in the WMF vs Volunteers is a false dichotomy. One of the best examples of a situation where all stakeholders do collaborate well towards a common goal is in passenger airplane manufacture. Based on their research into where people want to go, how often, and how much they are prepared to spend to get there, the airlines tell Airbus and Boeing what they want, and the aeronautics experts don’t waste millions of dollars on the research and construction of planes that nobody wants.
While overthrowing ACTRIAL, that unilateral decision taken by an employee failed to note that the Foundation itself had already introduced a major turn-around to what it claims to be ‘a founding policy’: in December 2006 it put an end to the freedom of unregistered IP users to create new articles in mainspace. Not wishing to lose face, that employee’s unilateral decision to reject the Bugzilla requests for ACTRIAL was upheld by the WMF while still ignoring that a few years earlier they had recognised the need for restricting mainspace creation. Ten years further on, the situation is far worse. New pages now have a largely subtle and sinister profile, and there are now thousands of poorly informed self-appointed patrollers doing page curation letting the wrong kind of articles in, and discouraging the right kind of authors who just need help in understanding more about article creation. The
actual ACTRIAL debate was all about helping those authors rather than simply introducing a blanket legislation preventing the creation of content - while of course discouraging the creators of totally unmitigated spam and crap. No less than 524 users participated making it not only one of the most heavily subscribed RfC in Wikipedia history even today, but the consensus was carried by a massive two thirds majority. That kind of RfC doesn’t need to be re-run.

User:Zackmann08 has the new page reviewer right. He tagged Abdulla Oripov (politician), an article about the prime minister of Uzbekistan, as CSD A7. User:In ictu oculi, not the creator, removed the CSD tag, but Zackmann08 re-added the tag and templataed In ictu oculi for removing the tag. Then, Zackmann08 ignored repeated posts on his talkpage by In ictu oculi and continued editing. Just now, Zackmann replied with just "bombarding me with messages on my talk page does not make me respond any faster" and nothing else.

Summary: At the time of tagging CSD-A7 by
Zackmann08 at
this diff, this article, created by
user:Killer aka, a
WP:SPA, was clearly notable per
WP:POLITICIAN, and sourced.
The CSD tag was appropriately declined at this diff by In ictu oculi and was incorrectly restored by Zackmann08 at this diff to be declined again by Ramaksoud2000 here.
Recommendations: Rather than practically edit warring, being too quick to demand the removal of tools from a user, using trivial arguments such as WP:NOTCV, If everyone would get back to doing some New Page Reviewing - for which they demanded the right at PERM - most preferably working from special:newpagesfeed, maybe we can get the backlog down which hasn't budged despite the several appeals that were sent to you.

10:23, 18 December 2016 (UTC)Your admin criteria seem well-respected, but the last point about the "I wanna be an admin" userbox is maybe too broad. I used the list of admin hopefuls (derived from the userbox) to pick out Boson, but on their RfA that userbox is being given as a reason not to support. The thrust of your criterion is to discount candidates who wanted the hat since the get go, but the wording catches anyone with the userbox: "Finally, and most importantly, people don't join the army just because they want to shoot guns, and they don't join the police force just because they want to drive a fast car with a blue light and a siren and hand out speeding fines. Which means, for those who don't get the metaphors, that users who join Wikipedia with the sole intention of working their way towards adminship don't get my support, which also means that 'I wanna be an admin someday' userbox." Most of those with the userbox didn't join with the sole or even major intention of being an admin; a way to state this could be "which also means early use of that 'I wanna be an admin someday' userbox."

Kudpung, I noticed a peculiar edit on a watched article of mine, and reverted. The edit (the user had misread a source and confused 30 mm with 30 cm when reverting correct and sourced material. Common sense alone should have led the user to check twice and not leave a snide edit summary, so I checked the most recent ten or so of ninety-four edits, finding four more that I also reverted (two more were tweaked by other editors). I left this message on the editor's talk page at
User talk:Theultimateboss123, diff
[3], tp quote block at the end.
The diffs for my reversions are [4] (for Köppen climate classification), [5] (for Western Hemisphere), [6] (for Prime Meridian), and [7] (for Climate for the United Kingdom). Any comments or advice? As to tone, fact, or chance of success? On a completely different note, I worked in Thailand twice, both instances in 1980, for a total of five weeks or so, in Bangkok, Aryanyapathet, Chanthaburi, Trat, and Ubon-ratchanthani during the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea, now Cambodia again. I liked the people, though not the Bangkok traffic which at the time was choked by the street layout constrained by the almost complete lack of bridges over the canals.

*Shrugs*, put yourself into the shoes of a fourteen year old Kudpung. "Unhealthy appetite"? for a kid, adminship is like being made an elite. It's something for a youngling to strive for, to gain the respect of the community. It's perfectly natural to me from my mere 21 year old perspective. It's a lack of maturity, yes of course. It's going to get them nowhere here, but, it's something that I think is somewhat expected. Yeah, sure, give them the gentle push and a little guidance. I support the endavour, but, let's not lose perspective. We're still talking to a kid, "unhealthy appetite" I'd be more surprised if they had zero interest in adminship than a whole heap. Personally, I'd be more direct and candid about it; "It's obvious you're interested in the adminship, quite a lot. There's a significant maturity aspect to it that few your age have. I'd advise you to find something more constructive to do with your time. If adminship comes around to you, it'll be when you're working hard elsewhere and making this project better for it. Focusing on adminship guarantees you opposes, not supports." Of course, that is just my perspective on this. Carry on, Mr rnddude ( talk) 09:52, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

You CSD flagged the above. The copyvio was a recent addition, so I would have liked to first delete the article and then undelete unaffected revs; however, there is a database replication lag limit that prevented deletion, so I've revdelled the affected revision text instead. I did not expect 1320 revisions to be too many to delete, but I guess the ghost in the database decided otherwise. I'm not even sure if you're the best person to message about this, or if it even needs to be characterised as a "problem", but since you flagged it, I thought you should at least know. Cheers!

Hi Kudpung,
I need to bring to your attention my concerns regarding a user's record since you gave the individual the new page reviewer right earlier this this month. It appears the individual is primarily using it to find articles to submit for deletion, often for flimsy or inaccurate reasons; which a look at the user's talk page indicates has already been going on for many years. Already several editors have complained that his nominations were either unclear, unexplained, based upon the wrong policy, or just wrong. In most cases, the user has also not even responded to those concerns. So giving this individual this particular user right has already proven problematic. I recommend removing the right, since the user is clearly unprepared to properly use it. If not, at minimum, additional monitoring of this user's right is clearly necessary. Since you gave the right, I'm bringing it to you to address first, rather than going directly to the admin board. Thanks. X4n6 ( talk) 10:25, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
Sir,
You suggested that I talk to an admin the last time I posted at ANI.
I'm trying to get clarification for the community divide on WP:ATD as it applies to Miss America and Miss USA entrants, and started an RfC at WP:VPP#RfC on Miss America and Miss USA entrants, but the RfC was procedurally closed. I attempted to adjust for the objections with WP:VPP#RfC2 on Miss America and Miss USA entrants, but the RfC was again procedurally closed. I had received one response to my request for comment before the 2nd RfC was closed, and I have posted at the respondent's talk page. But at AfD the problem remains. This doesn't appear to be a problem that is going to go away by disregarding it. But I don't know how to proceed. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Unscintillating ( talk) 21:12, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
In this diff, the rationale states, "Entrants may or may not be Wikipedia notable: Notability is not a key parameter for inclusion of these individuals, as Wikipedia non-notable topics can be covered as mini-bios at a suitable target topic." IMO, a community discussion on notability is a fruitless path here. Unscintillating ( talk) 01:45, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung. Take the New Page Reviewer role off. It is now a heavy chore as opposed to the joy it used to be, and the list is bigger now when I started, and I've reviewed for 8 straight days, a true Sisyphean task and real hard work, done for free, and not enjoyable. I don't think it is fair to say I'm going around looking for pages to delete. The notability standards are now so thin and tenuous, that by the time the task is finished roughly a third to a half of the planet is going to be on here. Like everybody else I've used my judgement only sending those articles to Afd which Ive looked at several times over several days. I've reviewed dozens of pages which are good quality and passed them, only passing on those which I thought were rank. The number of articles going to AFD is about a quarter of what it was 5 years ago. Yet still people complain and get spooked when I send more than a few articles to WP:AFD. Plain editing is getting very difficult to do on Wikipedia. There is zero consistency across the board. This is always somebody hovering over you, ready to horse your article at a moments notice. Every editor now has to be a policy wonk. Nobody wants it. I think this is the end for me. I'll finish my B-Diesnt and GDNA article, then I'm off. scope_creep ( talk) 14:06, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

While acknowledging your experience is wider, it's been my experience that prods are only useful on the most obscure of articles. Otherwise, one those "keep everything that has ever been mentioned in any newspaper magazine or on a matchbook cover" folks will simply revert it. Since one of those had already found the article in question, it was pointless. That article came on my radar after the malformed merge template was applied. Had never seen it before.

Hate to say it, but the FAC comments are pretty much correct as far as the overall sourcing and formatting issues go. I didn't spend a lot of time on the content, so no substantive comments there other than to say that it seems a little disorganized and clearly has suffered from driveby editors. But, the large number of paragraphs and statements hanging out there with no sourcing at all are definitely a problem. My thought would be to maybe go back to what the article looked like when it passed GA and rebuild from there. As for time and effort, I know that most of the time I've ever done a FAC, I either have a team that includes people who are strong on stuff where I am not (like nitpicking citation formatting for consistency) or, yeah, 100 hours... I'd say that sourcing the unsourced -- or chopping the unsourced -- is a starting place -- the article risks a GAR if that is not done. You might have to redo some of the sourcing if you can't access the original works used (which sucks, no other way to put it). I don't see the need to split the article, yet anyway, but some general copyediting and tightening up of prose might alleviate the concerns of the editors who thought things were too wordy. Consistent formatting is huge and running a check on deadlinks is also a big deal. FAC hangs on sourcing; the rest is usually just discussions over copyediting that can often be fixed during the FAC itself. Thinking back on something where I was a minor player, when I helped on the rainbow trout article's FAC, we did a LOT of work on it during its FAC run as well as in the leadup. I've described the process as "daunting" and exhausting. If you want to work on it and need someone to help on the nitpicky stuff, I most certainly know nothing about the topic so have no agenda, but would be willing to do some wikignoming.

Hello, Kudpung,
Great thanks for the excellent completion of the discussion on the Mineralogy Barnstar.
You are right - shelves filled with massive volumes of instructions can cause even more frustration, than their complete absence. But, probably, in the area of the creation of Barnstars it will be nice to have just several hints, to help the debuting authors navigate the new situation. Personally, trying to manage this process, I felt myself blindfolded and completely disorientated (for example, my invitation to discuss a new Barnstar on Teahouse), until Editor Gestrid kindly explained to me a situation and pointed out the error; and I thought, that something was wrong with the arrangement of the discussion procedure, until you suddenly and remarkably have completed it. Now, in contrast to the start, I feel confident in the Barnstars’ space. Thank you very much again.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Kudpung, thank you for assigning NPP rights to me the other day. A couple of (probably naïve) points. Would it be worthwhile or possible to voluntarily appoint particular patrollers to the back of the queue for a month or so? I'm sure many would oblige.

@
BethNaught,
IJBall, and
RexxS:, bear with me even if this looks as if it’s going to be TL;DR.
This issue represents a classic example of a collision between idealism and pragmatism. At the highest level it’s an area which calls for an independent, apolitical deciding body, not dissimilar to the recently created British Supreme Court that took the Law Lords away from the ‘firm’ that creates the legislature. It’s also not the the Board of Trustees which in recent times has proven to be unstable to the point perhaps, of even being wagged by the tail of the C -level staff and their CEO; it's also not our Arbcom - most certainly not, whatever their individual members might think.
There is a firm belief within the WMF that they own the project - well, perhaps they do from the perspective of American corporate law but they fail to admit that without the volunteers providing and maintaining the content there would be no encyclopaedia as we know it, no funds to provide the software and servers and no resources to pay the salaries of its servants. When asked to explain itself - an attitude which I have experienced on several very real, real life occasions - they just turn around and head for the nearest restroom on an unuttered ‘non of your business’ expression, or, as in the case of one junior staffer, actually telling a resoected editor to f*** off.
The division of labour in the WMF vs Volunteers is a false dichotomy. One of the best examples of a situation where all stakeholders do collaborate well towards a common goal is in passenger airplane manufacture. Based on their research into where people want to go, how often, and how much they are prepared to spend to get there, the airlines tell Airbus and Boeing what they want, and the aeronautics experts don’t waste millions of dollars on the research and construction of planes that nobody wants.
While overthrowing ACTRIAL, that unilateral decision taken by an employee failed to note that the Foundation itself had already introduced a major turn-around to what it claims to be ‘a founding policy’: in December 2006 it put an end to the freedom of unregistered IP users to create new articles in mainspace. Not wishing to lose face, that employee’s unilateral decision to reject the Bugzilla requests for ACTRIAL was upheld by the WMF while still ignoring that a few years earlier they had recognised the need for restricting mainspace creation. Ten years further on, the situation is far worse. New pages now have a largely subtle and sinister profile, and there are now thousands of poorly informed self-appointed patrollers doing page curation letting the wrong kind of articles in, and discouraging the right kind of authors who just need help in understanding more about article creation. The
actual ACTRIAL debate was all about helping those authors rather than simply introducing a blanket legislation preventing the creation of content - while of course discouraging the creators of totally unmitigated spam and crap. No less than 524 users participated making it not only one of the most heavily subscribed RfC in Wikipedia history even today, but the consensus was carried by a massive two thirds majority. That kind of RfC doesn’t need to be re-run.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Julius Harrison you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

User:Zackmann08 has the new page reviewer right. He tagged Abdulla Oripov (politician), an article about the prime minister of Uzbekistan, as CSD A7. User:In ictu oculi, not the creator, removed the CSD tag, but Zackmann08 re-added the tag and templataed In ictu oculi for removing the tag. Then, Zackmann08 ignored repeated posts on his talkpage by In ictu oculi and continued editing. Just now, Zackmann replied with just "bombarding me with messages on my talk page does not make me respond any faster" and nothing else.
Prime ministers are obviously per notable per WP:POLITICIAN and common sense. I haven't reviewed any of his other contributions. You seem to have a good grasp on the New Page Reviewer. Should the permission be removed? Ramaksoud2000 ( Talk to me) 20:24, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Zackmann08, and
In ictu oculi:.
Summary: At the time of tagging CSD-A7 by
Zackmann08 at
this diff, this article, created by
user:Killer aka, a
WP:SPA, was clearly notable per
WP:POLITICIAN, and sourced.
The CSD tag was appropriately declined at this diff by In ictu oculi and was incorrectly restored by Zackmann08 at this diff to be declined again by Ramaksoud2000 here.
Recommendations: Rather than practically edit warring, being too quick to demand the removal of tools from a user, using trivial arguments such as WP:NOTCV, If everyone would get back to doing some New Page Reviewing - for which they demanded the right at PERM - most preferably working from special:newpagesfeed, maybe we can get the backlog down which hasn't budged despite the several appeals that were sent to you.

Hi. Per your message on my talk page, I noticed you added the scripts to vector.js. Try adding them to common.js as recommended. After adding the scripts to common.js, do the <ctrl>+R refresh (and log out completely and log on again if possible). And if you don't mind, use both chrome and safari to check whether you get the links on the top menu (although it should have worked in vector.js too; I just tried them out in my vector and it shows quite fine in my safari browser).

10:23, 18 December 2016 (UTC)Your admin criteria seem well-respected, but the last point about the "I wanna be an admin" userbox is maybe too broad. I used the list of admin hopefuls (derived from the userbox) to pick out Boson, but on their RfA that userbox is being given as a reason not to support. The thrust of your criterion is to discount candidates who wanted the hat since the get go, but the wording catches anyone with the userbox: "Finally, and most importantly, people don't join the army just because they want to shoot guns, and they don't join the police force just because they want to drive a fast car with a blue light and a siren and hand out speeding fines. Which means, for those who don't get the metaphors, that users who join Wikipedia with the sole intention of working their way towards adminship don't get my support, which also means that 'I wanna be an admin someday' userbox." Most of those with the userbox didn't join with the sole or even major intention of being an admin; a way to state this could be "which also means early use of that 'I wanna be an admin someday' userbox."

Thanks for telling me how I can improve on my article. I am writing to ask about the recently deleted page of Bahren Shaari. The page was deleted at 07:59, 17 December 2016. I want to ask if it's okay to put the page back up or if it's even possible for me to edit the page now? Because I was planning to make improvements to that article but it was already taken down when I tried accessing it again today.

Kudpung, I noticed a peculiar edit on a watched article of mine, and reverted. The edit (the user had misread a source and confused 30 mm with 30 cm when reverting correct and sourced material. Common sense alone should have led the user to check twice and not leave a snide edit summary, so I checked the most recent ten or so of ninety-four edits, finding four more that I also reverted (two more were tweaked by other editors). I left this message on the editor's talk page at
User talk:Theultimateboss123, diff
[3], tp quote block at the end.
The diffs for my reversions are [4] (for Köppen climate classification), [5] (for Western Hemisphere), [6] (for Prime Meridian), and [7] (for Climate for the United Kingdom). Any comments or advice? As to tone, fact, or chance of success? On a completely different note, I worked in Thailand twice, both instances in 1980, for a total of five weeks or so, in Bangkok, Aryanyapathet, Chanthaburi, Trat, and Ubon-ratchanthani during the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea, now Cambodia again. I liked the people, though not the Bangkok traffic which at the time was choked by the street layout constrained by the almost complete lack of bridges over the canals. Thailand is one of the two or three countries I'd most like to revisit.

*Shrugs*, put yourself into the shoes of a fourteen year old Kudpung. "Unhealthy appetite"? for a kid, adminship is like being made an elite. It's something for a youngling to strive for, to gain the respect of the community. It's perfectly natural to me from my mere 21 year old perspective. It's a lack of maturity, yes of course. It's going to get them nowhere here, but, it's something that I think is somewhat expected. Yeah, sure, give them the gentle push and a little guidance. I support the endavour, but, let's not lose perspective. We're still talking to a kid, "unhealthy appetite" I'd be more surprised if they had zero interest in adminship than a whole heap. Personally, I'd be more direct and candid about it; "It's obvious you're interested in the adminship, quite a lot. There's a significant maturity aspect to it that few your age have. I'd advise you to find something more constructive to do with your time. If adminship comes around to you, it'll be when you're working hard elsewhere and making this project better for it. Focusing on adminship guarantees you opposes, not supports." Of course, that is just my perspective on this. Carry on, Mr rnddude ( talk) 09:52, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

You CSD flagged the above. The copyvio was a recent addition, so I would have liked to first delete the article and then undelete unaffected revs; however, there is a database replication lag limit that prevented deletion, so I've revdelled the affected revision text instead. I did not expect 1320 revisions to be too many to delete, but I guess the ghost in the database decided otherwise. I'm not even sure if you're the best person to message about this, or if it even needs to be characterised as a "problem", but since you flagged it, I thought you should at least know. Cheers!

Hi Kudpung,
I need to bring to your attention my concerns regarding a user's record since you gave the individual the new page reviewer right earlier this this month. It appears the individual is primarily using it to find articles to submit for deletion, often for flimsy or inaccurate reasons; which a look at the user's talk page indicates has already been going on for many years. Already several editors have complained that his nominations were either unclear, unexplained, based upon the wrong policy, or just wrong. In most cases, the user has also not even responded to those concerns. So giving this individual this particular user right has already proven problematic. I recommend removing the right, since the user is clearly unprepared to properly use it. If not, at minimum, additional monitoring of this user's right is clearly necessary. Since you gave the right, I'm bringing it to you to address first, rather than going directly to the admin board. Thanks. X4n6 ( talk) 10:25, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
Sir,
You suggested that I talk to an admin the last time I posted at ANI.
I'm trying to get clarification for the community divide on WP:ATD as it applies to Miss America and Miss USA entrants, and started an RfC at WP:VPP#RfC on Miss America and Miss USA entrants, but the RfC was procedurally closed. I attempted to adjust for the objections with WP:VPP#RfC2 on Miss America and Miss USA entrants, but the RfC was again procedurally closed. I had received one response to my request for comment before the 2nd RfC was closed, and I have posted at the respondent's talk page. But at AfD the problem remains. This doesn't appear to be a problem that is going to go away by disregarding it. But I don't know how to proceed. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Unscintillating ( talk) 21:12, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
In this diff, the rationale states, "Entrants may or may not be Wikipedia notable: Notability is not a key parameter for inclusion of these individuals, as Wikipedia non-notable topics can be covered as mini-bios at a suitable target topic." IMO, a community discussion on notability is a fruitless path here. Unscintillating ( talk) 01:45, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
Don't bother. I have no idea what you're talking about either. John from Idegon ( talk) 02:03, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello Kudpung. Take the New Page Reviewer role off. It is now a heavy chore as opposed to the joy it used to be, and the list is bigger now when I started, and I've reviewed for 8 straight days, a true Sisyphean task and real hard work, done for free, and not enjoyable. I don't think it is fair to say I'm going around looking for pages to delete. The notability standards are now so thin and tenuous, that by the time the task is finished roughly a third to a half of the planet is going to be on here. Like everybody else I've used my judgement only sending those articles to Afd which Ive looked at several times over several days. I've reviewed dozens of pages which are good quality and passed them, only passing on those which I thought were rank. The number of articles going to AFD is about a quarter of what it was 5 years ago. Yet still people complain and get spooked when I send more than a few articles to WP:AFD. Plain editing is getting very difficult to do on Wikipedia. There is zero consistency across the board. This is always somebody hovering over you, ready to horse your article at a moments notice. Every editor now has to be a policy wonk. Nobody wants it. I think this is the end for me. I'll finish my B-Diesnt and GDNA article, then I'm off. scope_creep ( talk) 14:06, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung, This article above has been voted for delete with an Afd, some days before I reviewed it. I slapped a speedy on by mistake as it's hanging around. Here is the AFD discussion.

While acknowledging your experience is wider, it's been my experience that prods are only useful on the most obscure of articles. Otherwise, one those "keep everything that has ever been mentioned in any newspaper magazine or on a matchbook cover" folks will simply revert it. Since one of those had already found the article in question, it was pointless. That article came on my radar after the malformed merge template was applied. Had never seen it before.
On another subject, is there a bot operator that works with WPSCH? I've got a bot-able task I'd like to see happen--updating enrollment on all articles that have it cited to NCES. John from Idegon ( talk) 10:56, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your co-nomination. It's much appreciated, and given that you and Ritchie333 are very active in the RfA space, I feel rather honoured to have your support. You stated, though: "usher the New Year in as Wikipedia's first new admin for 2017" I'm not sure what NinjaRobotPirate would think about it; after all that RfA closes first.
