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.

We now have 804 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.

User:L235, it has been pointed out to me the New Guidelines (in the section "Motion: ARBPIA" near the bottom of the page). The key part is the sentence underlined in black. Question: Is this to imply that all new edits made since 26 December 2016 in Palestine-Israel articles can be deleted by editors, and they can challenge the editors who put them there in the first place, without the first editors restoring their edits until a new consensus has been reached? If so, you open the door for "abusive editing," that is to say, the new guidelines allow editors to freely delete areas in articles based on their sole judgment and conviction and which edits had earlier been agreed upon by consensus, and that such changes will remain in force until such a time that a new consensus can be reached. As you see, this can be problematic. Second Question: Do the new guidelines also apply to reverts made in articles where a consensus had already been reached before 26 December 2016, or do they only apply to reverts made after 26 December 2016? To avoid future problems arising from this new edict, can I make this one suggestion, namely, that the new guidelines in Palestine-Israel articles be amended to read with this addition: "Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense, or where abuses arise over reverts made in an article where a consensus had already been reached before or after the edict of 26 December 2016 took effect, such editors make themselves liable to disciplinary actions, including blocking."

Hi, i don't know how process for this should work, but I want to ask if you, in your role as an arbitration clerk, could take care of updating Wikipedia:Editing restrictions to drop the now-expired "Suspended restriction" about my editing, when convenient for you. It shows the restriction was to be expired on 5 May 2016, but that was a typo, it was enacted on on 5 November 2016 and was to expire on 5 May 2017. I ask you because you served as clerk in your implementing the decision on 5 November 2016 into the Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram record. I don't mind if you direct me somewhere else or call in any other eyes to check this out. Or I would be very happy if User:Beeblebrox (who I notice edits at Editing restrictions sometimes) or someone else notices this and replies instead. FYI the very last discussion at all related to this is this clarification request of 18 April 2017, in which Beeblebrox suggested a clarification. They were at first unaware of the expiration coming up due to the date typo in place, which they figured out was a typo that no one else had noticed. Anyhow, given that the Editing restriction page has long shown the restriction to be expired, I figure it can't hurt to make a request, and hope this is not a bother. Not urgent. Good luck with your current exams. -- do ncr am 02:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

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.

Hello. Thanks for your post here Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dcasey98. My understanding is that IPs rarely get an indef block and in the case of the IPv6 IPs it would be almost meaningless since they change so quickly. I'm guessing you are already aware of this and I could be wrong but I wanted to let you know about things just in case. Thanks again and best regards. MarnetteD| Talk 23:07, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:

Hi Kevin, what do you mean about the case being closed and declined. It appears still to be open. What was declined exactly? SarahSV (talk) 00:20, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
This is a request about AE and Sandstein, not about a particular caseat the very beginning. However I do understand how this was shifted into a general appeal. Mr Ernie ( talk) 20:37, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
I believe that a sensario was deliberately set up to ensure a legitimate page was deleted, the motives are not clear but doing so does erase evidence that could otherwise be used to decline an application to be an administrator, by a person that has been declined in the past. However this is conjecture, even if the loss of information on deletion is fact. The use of concurrent COI and Not Noteworthy claims resulted in myself having to wait before contributing further which resulted in the page being deleted. I do not believe that this catch-22 situation is accidental, and I can't see how anyone who is aware of it would see it as ethical either. I was otherwise in a position to collate available facts and edit the page to match the form of related FOSS software packages (that are not similarly vexed by not noteworthy claims). Can you please advise me as to exactly how I can reverse the damage and ensure that fair process be followed in the future? Dsmatthews ( talk) 21:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
I noticed that there are a few issues with Arbcom (pages) and it's only January...
1. It appears that the 2018 case page uses the source for the 2017 case page but the year wasn't changed.
2. It says that Conduct of Mister Wiki editors was closed on 22 March 2017 (I'm not sure how the month and day are also wrong...)
3. All Cases doesn't include 2018 cases yet.

Hey, thank you for updating WP:RESTRICT in light of my ban suspensions.
While checking over the changes, I noticed that one from the original case ( this one) appeared to be missing, and a quick scan revealed that User:Beyond My Ken appears to have accidentally blanked it while moving the one immediately above it further down. [2]
I'm messaging you as an ArbCom clerk rather than directly asking BMK to fix his own good-faith mistake because I'm really not sure who's allowed to edit that subpage (as of right now, as opposed to two years ago) and I'm worried asking anyone other than an authorized clerk might open a can of worms (and it's an IBAN so I'm very limited in how much I can say about it).

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.

User:L235, it has been pointed out to me the New Guidelines (in the section "Motion: ARBPIA" near the bottom of the page). The key part is the sentence underlined in black. Question: Is this to imply that all new edits made since 26 December 2016 in Palestine-Israel articles can be deleted by editors, and they can challenge the editors who put them there in the first place, without the first editors restoring their edits until a new consensus has been reached? If so, you open the door for "abusive editing," that is to say, the new guidelines allow editors to freely delete areas in articles based on their sole judgment and conviction and which edits had earlier been agreed upon by consensus, and that such changes will remain in force until such a time that a new consensus can be reached. As you see, this can be problematic. Second Question: Do the new guidelines also apply to reverts made in articles where a consensus had already been reached before 26 December 2016, or do they only apply to reverts made after 26 December 2016? To avoid future problems arising from this new edict, can I make this one suggestion, namely, that the new guidelines in Palestine-Israel articles be amended to read with this addition: "Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense, or where abuses arise over reverts made in an article where a consensus had already been reached before or after the edict of 26 December 2016 took effect, such editors make themselves liable to disciplinary actions, including blocking."

Hi, i don't know how process for this should work, but I want to ask if you, in your role as an arbitration clerk, could take care of updating Wikipedia:Editing restrictions to drop the now-expired "Suspended restriction" about my editing, when convenient for you. It shows the restriction was to be expired on 5 May 2016, but that was a typo, it was enacted on on 5 November 2016 and was to expire on 5 May 2017. I ask you because you served as clerk in your implementing the decision on 5 November 2016 into the Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram record. I don't mind if you direct me somewhere else or call in any other eyes to check this out. Or I would be very happy if User:Beeblebrox (who I notice edits at Editing restrictions sometimes) or someone else notices this and replies instead. FYI the very last discussion at all related to this is this clarification request of 18 April 2017, in which Beeblebrox suggested a clarification. They were at first unaware of the expiration coming up due to the date typo in place, which they figured out was a typo that no one else had noticed. Anyhow, given that the Editing restriction page has long shown the restriction to be expired, I figure it can't hurt to make a request, and hope this is not a bother. Not urgent. Good luck with your current exams. -- do ncr am 02:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

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.

Hello. Thanks for your post here Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dcasey98. My understanding is that IPs rarely get an indef block and in the case of the IPv6 IPs it would be almost meaningless since they change so quickly.

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:

Hi Kevin, what do you mean about the case being closed and declined. It appears still to be open. What was declined exactly? SarahSV (talk) 00:20, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
This is a request about AE and Sandstein, not about a particular caseat the very beginning. However I do understand how this was shifted into a general appeal. Mr Ernie ( talk) 20:37, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
I believe that a sensario was deliberately set up to ensure a legitimate page was deleted, the motives are not clear but doing so does erase evidence that could otherwise be used to decline an application to be an administrator, by a person that has been declined in the past. However this is conjecture, even if the loss of information on deletion is fact. The use of concurrent COI and Not Noteworthy claims resulted in myself having to wait before contributing further which resulted in the page being deleted. I do not believe that this catch-22 situation is accidental, and I can't see how anyone who is aware of it would see it as ethical either. I was otherwise in a position to collate available facts and edit the page to match the form of related FOSS software packages (that are not similarly vexed by not noteworthy claims). Can you please advise me as to exactly how I can reverse the damage and ensure that fair process be followed in the future? Dsmatthews ( talk) 21:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
I noticed that there are a few issues with Arbcom (pages) and it's only January...
1. It appears that the 2018 case page uses the source for the 2017 case page but the year wasn't changed.
2. It says that Conduct of Mister Wiki editors was closed on 22 March 2017 (I'm not sure how the month and day are also wrong...)
3. All Cases doesn't include 2018 cases yet.

Hey, thank you for updating WP:RESTRICT in light of my ban suspensions.
While checking over the changes, I noticed that one from the original case ( this one) appeared to be missing, and a quick scan revealed that User:Beyond My Ken appears to have accidentally blanked it while moving the one immediately above it further down. [2]
I'm messaging you as an ArbCom clerk rather than directly asking BMK to fix his own good-faith mistake because I'm really not sure who's allowed to edit that subpage (as of right now, as opposed to two years ago) and I'm worried asking anyone other than an authorized clerk might open a can of worms (and it's an IBAN so I'm very limited in how much I can say about it).

Please see Template:ArbComOpenTasks/ClarificationAmendment. I think the Magioladitis request has now been archived so should be removed from the template. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 03:29, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
On 3 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Blueford v. Arkansas, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in Blueford v. Arkansas, the US Supreme Court allowed a man to be retried on murder charges after a jury unanimously voted to acquit him of those same charges? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Blueford v. Arkansas. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Blueford v. Arkansas), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
