Hi
thanks for your quick feedback. I understand the first reviewer's comment about references - so I tried to add as many as I could find. WPA USA is a new organization, founded in 2018, so there hasn't been that much published about it.
However, I was really surprised about your feedback 'included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.' I am not aware of any copyrighted content, unless you are referring to coverage of WPA on other web pages. Which are cited because I need references (see above). Could you would please point out the copyrighted content in question?
thanks much

Hi
again, thanks for your feedback. As I indicated when I signed up, I work for WPA and I'm also one of the people responsible for the websites. And WPA has an interest in being included in Wiki. So while I will talk with my colleague about updating the website along the lines you suggested I would appreciate if you would not delete the info from the WPA website. Rest assured, we have no objections to quoting ourselves. If that's not possible I'll get back to you once the website has been revised. Are the any other issues that need to be fixed before the WPA entry can be published?

Hi Robertsky, I have read through the wiki notability guidelines, but I am still quite lost on this. The 31 references provided are all legitimate sources from different reputable media outlets and organisations, which have used and cited her analysis and comments since 2019. It would be very helpful if you could advise me on the appropriate sources you are looking for, so that I can improve on it correctly. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reddysim78 ( talk • contribs) 14:36, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Dear Robertsky,
This is with regards to my recent article submission declined by you for not maintaining the standard for inline citations. As per your advice, I referred to the Referencing for beginners page and made necessary changes to the best of my knowledge and has resubmitted the article. After resubmitting it again shows 3 months of time for the next review.
So I would like to know if you can look over the resubmitted draft "Anand Bal" and give me feedback on it so that I can make changes. This is my first article and I have been working on this for the last six months. Really appreciate your time and looking forward to a positive reply.

Hi Robertsky, thank you very much for your quick review of the Garry Gordon Cooper draft page and guidance to add more independent references. I have added over 30 more independent references/citations, so there's 43 total now. A few of the official government webpages, which are the formal references for some of the very high-level awards, require you to scroll down to the person's name to reveal the information as they don't provide separate links for each person. Hopefully it now exceeds the minimum standard. Thank you TruBlu351 ( talk) 10:36, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Robertsky, I appreciate your quick review of my article submission. You rejected the submission for lack of reliable non-primary sources which was correct all the sources were QuidditchUK announcements or tournament schedules. I have now added a few links to some news articles in a Harry Potter themed news website to the page. Additional secondary sources are basically impossible to find as no other news outlets seem to have covered these events.
This lack of secondary references is a trend across all QuidditchUK tournament Wikipedia articles as the quidditch tournaments are only very rarely covered by journalists so most references come from QuidditchUK announcements or schedules. For example, the page for the Northern and Southern Cups has I believe only one source which is not a QuidditchUK announcements or tournament schedule. The Development Cup article even had no sources at all until I added some the other day.
I was wondering if you have any advice on what to do in this situation before I resubmit my article as I believe the Community League is something that deserves its own article (especially given the other tournaments have their own articles) but I don't see a way to add any more secondary sources. I'm still very new to Wikipedia so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. - Twodonotsimply ( talk) 14:31, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Robertsky, Thanks for the quick review of my draft Wikipedia page about Dr. Mario El-Khoury. The draft you reviewed was not complete. I found no “Save” button to save my intermediate work except the Publish one. I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. As for M. El-Khoury, he successfully led the CSEM over the last 12 years. CSEM is one of the most prominent technology research center in Europe, known by experts for its contribution to electronics, to space instruments, to great innovations in the watch industry, and more recently to the renewable energy and medtech under the leadership of M. El-Khoury. As such, I think it’s certainly a plus to have this page in the English Wikipedia, mainly that CSEM and M. El-Khoury have their base reputation only in French-speaking media.
As this is my first contribution in the English Wikipedia, I will be very pleased to receive any improvement suggestions from you. Thanks in advance. Lilliek ( talk) 18:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Robersky! In my experience IMDb is as reliable source as Wikipedia. You need to provide evidence to their editors for the verification e.g. direct URL to the awarding body's official listing and also third party data source.
Anyways, I added few reliable sources which confirms correct almost all listed awards. National Audiovisual Institute (Kavi) has a database of Finnish films. It’s governmental bureau under the Finnish Ministry of Education responsible for supervising the distribution of audiovisual content. Unfortunately their database is incomplete (and partly is in Finnish).
Problem with older films is that some of the needed data in harder to find and some links providing information won’t function anymore. Best, Ruutanaonki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruutanaonki ( talk • contribs) 12:00, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
Is there a way your GitHub program can exclude some pages related to Singapore for Index of Singapore-related articles? Following an attempt at recreating an article for a non-notable Fann Wong album (see edit history for Missing You (Fann Wong album)), I do not feel that any form of work relating to Singapore should be included if the subject that is common to all of them is also linked, as that subject will have information about the other subjects. Jalen Folf (talk) 04:28, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
@ JalenFolf: without code modifications, you can remove the fann Wong albums category on the redirects as the code is tracking it. I am working on a revamp which (hopefully) can exclude redirects from being listed among other changes. If you have some categories you think I should exclude from tracking, let me know. – robertsky ( talk) 04:57, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
@ JalenFolf: on reading closely to your rationales for removing the articles from the index, I have to disagree. Fann Wong is a prominent Singapore based actresses, and most of her works tied with Singapore's culture closely when she was more active in the entertainment industry. The Index is after all for any articles related to Singapore, even works done in Singapore. There are exceptions to the rule, like articles substantially mentioning Singapore in the passing. If notability is an issue, feel free to send the articles for prod or AfD or do redirects for these articles, or improve on the articles. Most of the articles were written and introduced before the consensus of the current notability standards, and chances are that sources can be found in the newspaper or multimedia archives. If the works are listed still during the weekly runs, they will be reinserted. – robertsky ( talk) 07:30, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi Robertsky! Thanks for your response, but declining the draft has no justification. There are many articles of film directors, which are “stub” but accepted. Of course! The general idea of Wikipedia is that users expand/supplement articles over time. Check the category: “Finnish film directors” /info/en/?search=Category:Finnish_film_directors or “Swedish film directors” /info/en/?search=Category:Swedish_film_directors. Here is just few examples of “stub” biographical articles (and this list is endless): /info/en/?search=Harri_J._Rantala /info/en/?search=Laura_Hyppönen /info/en/?search=Petri_Kotwica /info/en/?search=Jari_Halonen /info/en/?search=Zaida_Bergroth /info/en/?search=Simo_Halinen /info/en/?search=Tero_Jartti /info/en/?search=Pekka_Karjalainen /info/en/?search=Maarit_Lalli /info/en/?search=Jarmo_Lampela /info/en/?search=Perttu_Leppä /info/en/?search=Lauri_Nurkse /info/en/?search=JP_Siili /info/en/?search=Aleksi_Salmenperä /info/en/?search=Olli_Soinio /info/en/?search=Paul-Anders_Simma /info/en/?search=Pia_Tikka /info/en/?search=Selma_Vilhunen /info/en/?search=Hanna_Hemilä /info/en/?search=Matt_Broadley /info/en/?search=Hans_Abramson /info/en/?search=Elof_Ahrle /info/en/?search=Morgan_Alling /info/en/?search=Kjell-Åke_Andersson /info/en/?search=Mats_Arehn /info/en/?search=Ragnar_Arvedson /info/en/?search=Reza_Bagher /info/en/?search=Patrik_Bergner /info/en/?search=Maria_Blom /info/en/?search=Bengt_Blomgren /info/en/?search=Per-Axel_Branner /info/en/?search=Åsa_Bjerkerot These all are “short on prose”.

a significant new concept, theory, or technique(point 2). Despite having a number of short films listed, it is not cited (imdb unfortunately cannot be a source per WP:RSP), neither is there reference to show that at least one other work (than the Diver film) is notable (another film another award, perhaps?) (point 3). Ditto for point 4.
His short film The Diver (Hyppääjä, 2000) won the Grand Prix and other main prizes at the Tampere Film Festival 2001.which only reflects that awards won at one festival. I only knew that it had won awards in other festivals after reviewing the draft article of the Diver a week or so later. As for the quote, I am saying that I perceived it to be promotional to be included into the article. – robertsky ( talk) 13:00, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Robertsky,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 802 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 855 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Hi Robertsky, it's me. I just seen the question but I have been busy, but I seen the question. I decide to reply in private here from there.
I have read the WP:UNBAN article, and understand, but there are some minor questions need to ask for (Note: usernames are not included here because of privacy and pinging):
Asking first because although I joined Wikipedia a while after the seniors left- I wished something can be done right and hope it is for the group, after all, asking one question is always an idea to get knowledge. I also wish if can email privately so that I can provide the details in private?

I am somewhat at a loss. When I compare the pages for other members of the APA's lithium task force, William Bunney, Jonathan Cole, Ronald Fieve, I don't see anything superior regarding their references. Given that Cohen was Chair of the task force, I'm unsure what it is, exactly, that you found lacking. My attempt here is to create a readable article that gives context for the work Cohen and these others were producing. Perhaps you would be so kind as to better detail what would bring the Cohen article into better compliance with these others?

Hello Robertsky,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 9439 articles, as of 18:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Hello, would this news story be notable if charges would be brought against the defendants or if there were more info about it?
To put it simply, the NBI filed murder raps against 22 police officers ( Philippine National Police) for the deaths of inmates in New Bilibid Prison. NBI thinks that COVID-19 was used to cover up the deaths of the inmates due to many of them being notorious drug lords.
Would this pass WP:CRIME or WP:BLP1E if the situation develops and more evidence against the officers is revealed? Or should it be a more substantial crime to be added as an article? Thank you.

How much source needed to prove notability of a person ? Do you know how much he is notable? Should I provide references of Usa for a politician of India ? Suppose he is not notable inspite of giving many national suitable sources. Then how can persons be notable in wikipedia having regional sources, irrevalent sources ? I think a few people is trying to demotivate new comer editors. Baruah ranuj ( talk) 17:07, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. WP:GNG may apply as well. Of all the sources on the page, I determine that [3] and [4] are of signficant coverage of the subject. The other sources range from him being the spokesperson of the party he leads ( [5], [6]), brief ( [7]), or simply profile pages relating to the elections ( [8], [9], [10]). Thus, I find that the notabilty of the subject is just tethering on the line. Try find one or two more in-depth coverage of the subject, best if they are for different times of his life.
How much source needed to prove notability of a person?. There is no minimum, it depends on the length of the article, but typically I (and some editors as well) look for three best references that are of reputable sources and of significant coverage.
Do you know how much he is notable?I don't. That is you as the editor for the article to establish for the other editors and readers.
Should I provide references of Usa for a politician of India?There's no need for that.
Suppose he is not notable inspite of giving many national suitable sources.As explained above on the sources that you have used.
how can persons be notable in wikipedia having regional sources, irrevalent sourcesSee: WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS We evaluate articles on their own individual merits and establish consensus for each article if need be. Just because other pages may be of X, doesn't mean that this page can be of X.
I think a few people is trying to demotivate new coner editorsI hope that my explanations clear up your questions that you may have. Typically for new politicians who doesn't have any prior history, their articles would have been either consigned to one of the three paths, deletion discussion (7 days of consensus building), draftification (giving the article grace of at least 6 months to work on), or merge and redirect into another page. But since there's some history in his career, it just need a couple more in-depth sources of him for the notability to be further established.
the references given clearly prove the notability. person not associated or lack of knowledge in the matter should not interfare to determine the notability of a politician. Baruah ranuj 12:13, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
person not associated or lack of knowledge in the matter should not interfare to determine the notability of a politician, I bring your attention to one of the the fundamental principles of Wikipedia:
Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. Since you don't want my help, sure, I will just let the article be in the NPP queue for another willing reviewer to review.

Robertsky hi. It's me nelson. I am here to tell you about the misunderstanding between me and secret squirrel because he or she seem to perceive me as a anti death penalty activist and suggesting me for having an ulterior motive in making articles on capital cases in the discussions to delete Kalwant Singh and Norasharee Gous. Actually I am not. I am just a ordinary young fella who only edit and create wiki articles out of interest. He even directly mentioned me at the top of the article capital punishment in Singapore to tell others to restrain me when I can actually do everything to amend my errors. I feel troubled about the sudden confrontation and misunderstanding that I thought maybe can seek advice from you on how to manage it, and if you can act as a meditator between me and squirrel to better help us clear up the misunderstanding.

Hi! I was wondering if you could help me with an edit I'm trying to make. I want to include info on the Straits Times history as a propaganda tool and how changes following WWII turned it into the paper it is today, both before and after Singaporean independence. However some of my edits were reverted and there was a suggestion of POV-pushing, which I would dispute. I don't think my information was biased in either a pro- or anti-Japanese direction but if it was, I want to avoid that so that this information, that I feel is important to the paper's history, can remain published and available. If you have time or the inclination, could you please take a look to see if anything seems biased or given undue weight? I need to beef up the post-war section, so it might be a little lopsided right now, but I will try to balance that. Thank you for your time! Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 15:54, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Robertsky,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

I don't really understand your rationale for closing this page as "moved". It was clearly shown that the car company is primary topic by page views (not counting people with the surname, which we generally don't count as none of them as known as *the* Talbot in a Thatcher or Churchill sense). The car company may be defunct, but it seems fairly clear it's still primary by significance and views over other topics, including the dog, which is the only vaguely near challenger.

This is in response to your decision on my draft here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Pemandu_Associates.
According to wikipedia: "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I have provided many independent secondary sources that are independent of the subject such as from the World Bank, Harvard, Princeton, news, etc. I have also edited my drafts based on past reviewers' feedback. Kindly advise how can I improve on it... Cheers — Davidt1510 ( talk)

Hi Reobertsky
I'd like to query your close at Discovery_Channel_(Australia_and_New_Zealand). The proposed title was rejected by a large consensus in 2019, and I don't think it's correct to then go and move it on the back of a much smaller number of votes just three years later. The original title was the correct one, and I certainly oppose the move, as I did last time. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 14:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi
thanks for your quick feedback. I understand the first reviewer's comment about references - so I tried to add as many as I could find. WPA USA is a new organization, founded in 2018, so there hasn't been that much published about it.
However, I was really surprised about your feedback 'included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.' I am not aware of any copyrighted content, unless you are referring to coverage of WPA on other web pages. Which are cited because I need references (see above). Could you would please point out the copyrighted content in question?
thanks much

Hi
again, thanks for your feedback. As I indicated when I signed up, I work for WPA and I'm also one of the people responsible for the websites. And WPA has an interest in being included in Wiki. So while I will talk with my colleague about updating the website along the lines you suggested I would appreciate if you would not delete the info from the WPA website. Rest assured, we have no objections to quoting ourselves. If that's not possible I'll get back to you once the website has been revised. Are the any other issues that need to be fixed before the WPA entry can be published?

Dear Robertsky,
This is with regards to my recent article submission declined by you for not maintaining the standard for inline citations. As per your advice, I referred to the Referencing for beginners page and made necessary changes to the best of my knowledge and has resubmitted the article. After resubmitting it again shows 3 months of time for the next review.
So I would like to know if you can look over the resubmitted draft "Anand Bal" and give me feedback on it so that I can make changes. This is my first article and I have been working on this for the last six months. Really appreciate your time and looking forward to a positive reply.

Hi Robertsky, thank you very much for your quick review of the Garry Gordon Cooper draft page and guidance to add more independent references. I have added over 30 more independent references/citations, so there's 43 total now. A few of the official government webpages, which are the formal references for some of the very high-level awards, require you to scroll down to the person's name to reveal the information as they don't provide separate links for each person.

Hi Robertsky, I appreciate your quick review of my article submission. You rejected the submission for lack of reliable non-primary sources which was correct all the sources were QuidditchUK announcements or tournament schedules. I have now added a few links to some news articles in a Harry Potter themed news website to the page. Additional secondary sources are basically impossible to find as no other news outlets seem to have covered these events.
This lack of secondary references is a trend across all QuidditchUK tournament Wikipedia articles as the quidditch tournaments are only very rarely covered by journalists so most references come from QuidditchUK announcements or schedules. For example, the page for the Northern and Southern Cups has I believe only one source which is not a QuidditchUK announcements or tournament schedule. The Development Cup article even had no sources at all until I added some the other day.
I was wondering if you have any advice on what to do in this situation before I resubmit my article as I believe the Community League is something that deserves its own article (especially given the other tournaments have their own articles) but I don't see a way to add any more secondary sources. I'm still very new to Wikipedia so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. - Twodonotsimply ( talk) 14:31, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

I would consider the New York Times, Straits Times, and other published sources including academic journals verifiable sources, which I hope you will agree with and have added several more although they all do seem to repeat the same message: that this is an incredible high-performing archeologist who has changed our understanding of Singapore's early history and deserves a page on Wikipedia. I hope you will agree. Thank you.

Hi Robertsky, Thanks for the quick review of my draft Wikipedia page about Dr. Mario El-Khoury. The draft you reviewed was not complete. I found no “Save” button to save my intermediate work except the Publish one. I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. As for M. El-Khoury, he successfully led the CSEM over the last 12 years. CSEM is one of the most prominent technology research center in Europe, known by experts for its contribution to electronics, to space instruments, to great innovations in the watch industry, and more recently to the renewable energy and medtech under the leadership of M. El-Khoury. As such, I think it’s certainly a plus to have this page in the English Wikipedia, mainly that CSEM and M. El-Khoury have their base reputation only in French-speaking media.
As this is my first contribution in the English Wikipedia, I will be very pleased to receive any improvement suggestions from you. Thanks in advance. Lilliek ( talk) 18:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Robersky! In my experience IMDb is as reliable source as Wikipedia. You need to provide evidence to their editors for the verification e.g. direct URL to the awarding body's official listing and also third party data source.
Anyways, I added few reliable sources which confirms correct almost all listed awards. National Audiovisual Institute (Kavi) has a database of Finnish films. It’s governmental bureau under the Finnish Ministry of Education responsible for supervising the distribution of audiovisual content. Unfortunately their database is incomplete (and partly is in Finnish).
Problem with older films is that some of the needed data in harder to find and some links providing information won’t function anymore. Best, Ruutanaonki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruutanaonki ( talk • contribs) 12:00, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
Is there a way your GitHub program can exclude some pages related to Singapore for Index of Singapore-related articles? Following an attempt at recreating an article for a non-notable Fann Wong album (see edit history for Missing You (Fann Wong album)), I do not feel that any form of work relating to Singapore should be included if the subject that is common to all of them is also linked, as that subject will have information about the other subjects. Jalen Folf (talk) 04:28, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
@ JalenFolf: without code modifications, you can remove the fann Wong albums category on the redirects as the code is tracking it. I am working on a revamp which (hopefully) can exclude redirects from being listed among other changes. If you have some categories you think I should exclude from tracking, let me know. – robertsky ( talk) 04:57, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
@ JalenFolf: on reading closely to your rationales for removing the articles from the index, I have to disagree. Fann Wong is a prominent Singapore based actresses, and most of her works tied with Singapore's culture closely when she was more active in the entertainment industry. The Index is after all for any articles related to Singapore, even works done in Singapore. There are exceptions to the rule, like articles substantially mentioning Singapore in the passing. If notability is an issue, feel free to send the articles for prod or AfD or do redirects for these articles, or improve on the articles. Most of the articles were written and introduced before the consensus of the current notability standards, and chances are that sources can be found in the newspaper or multimedia archives. If the works are listed still during the weekly runs, they will be reinserted. – robertsky ( talk) 07:30, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi Robertsky! Thanks for your response, but declining the draft has no justification. There are many articles of film directors, which are “stub” but accepted. Of course! The general idea of Wikipedia is that users expand/supplement articles over time. Check the category: “Finnish film directors” /info/en/?search=Category:Finnish_film_directors or “Swedish film directors” /info/en/?search=Category:Swedish_film_directors. Here is just few examples of “stub” biographical articles (and this list is endless): /info/en/?search=Harri_J._Rantala /info/en/?search=Laura_Hyppönen /info/en/?search=Petri_Kotwica /info/en/?search=Jari_Halonen /info/en/?search=Zaida_Bergroth /info/en/?search=Simo_Halinen /info/en/?search=Tero_Jartti /info/en/?search=Pekka_Karjalainen /info/en/?search=Maarit_Lalli /info/en/?search=Jarmo_Lampela /info/en/?search=Perttu_Leppä /info/en/?search=Lauri_Nurkse /info/en/?search=JP_Siili /info/en/?search=Aleksi_Salmenperä /info/en/?search=Olli_Soinio /info/en/?search=Paul-Anders_Simma /info/en/?search=Pia_Tikka /info/en/?search=Selma_Vilhunen /info/en/?search=Hanna_Hemilä /info/en/?search=Matt_Broadley /info/en/?search=Hans_Abramson /info/en/?search=Elof_Ahrle /info/en/?search=Morgan_Alling /info/en/?search=Kjell-Åke_Andersson /info/en/?search=Mats_Arehn /info/en/?search=Ragnar_Arvedson /info/en/?search=Reza_Bagher /info/en/?search=Patrik_Bergner /info/en/?search=Maria_Blom /info/en/?search=Bengt_Blomgren /info/en/?search=Per-Axel_Branner /info/en/?search=Åsa_Bjerkerot These all are “short on prose”.

a significant new concept, theory, or technique(point 2). Despite having a number of short films listed, it is not cited (imdb unfortunately cannot be a source per WP:RSP), neither is there reference to show that at least one other work (than the Diver film) is notable (another film another award, perhaps?) (point 3). Ditto for point 4.
His short film The Diver (Hyppääjä, 2000) won the Grand Prix and other main prizes at the Tampere Film Festival 2001.which only reflects that awards won at one festival. I only knew that it had won awards in other festivals after reviewing the draft article of the Diver a week or so later. As for the quote, I am saying that I perceived it to be promotional to be included into the article. – robertsky ( talk) 13:00, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Robertsky,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 802 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 855 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Hi Robertsky, it's me. I just seen the question but I have been busy, but I seen the question. I decide to reply in private here from there.
I have read the WP:UNBAN article, and understand, but there are some minor questions need to ask for (Note: usernames are not included here because of privacy and pinging):
Asking first because although I joined Wikipedia a while after the seniors left- I wished something can be done right and hope it is for the group, after all, asking one question is always an idea to get knowledge. I also wish if can email privately so that I can provide the details in private?

I am somewhat at a loss. When I compare the pages for other members of the APA's lithium task force, William Bunney, Jonathan Cole, Ronald Fieve, I don't see anything superior regarding their references. Given that Cohen was Chair of the task force, I'm unsure what it is, exactly, that you found lacking. My attempt here is to create a readable article that gives context for the work Cohen and these others were producing. Perhaps you would be so kind as to better detail what would bring the Cohen article into better compliance with these others?

Hello Robertsky,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 9439 articles, as of 18:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Hello, would this news story be notable if charges would be brought against the defendants or if there were more info about it?
To put it simply, the NBI filed murder raps against 22 police officers ( Philippine National Police) for the deaths of inmates in New Bilibid Prison. NBI thinks that COVID-19 was used to cover up the deaths of the inmates due to many of them being notorious drug lords.
Would this pass WP:CRIME or WP:BLP1E if the situation develops and more evidence against the officers is revealed? Or should it be a more substantial crime to be added as an article? Thank you.

How much source needed to prove notability of a person ? Do you know how much he is notable? Should I provide references of Usa for a politician of India ? Suppose he is not notable inspite of giving many national suitable sources. Then how can persons be notable in wikipedia having regional sources, irrevalent sources ? I think a few people is trying to demotivate new comer editors. Baruah ranuj ( talk) 17:07, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. WP:GNG may apply as well. Of all the sources on the page, I determine that [3] and [4] are of signficant coverage of the subject. The other sources range from him being the spokesperson of the party he leads ( [5], [6]), brief ( [7]), or simply profile pages relating to the elections ( [8], [9], [10]). Thus, I find that the notabilty of the subject is just tethering on the line. Try find one or two more in-depth coverage of the subject, best if they are for different times of his life.
How much source needed to prove notability of a person?. There is no minimum, it depends on the length of the article, but typically I (and some editors as well) look for three best references that are of reputable sources and of significant coverage.
Do you know how much he is notable?I don't. That is you as the editor for the article to establish for the other editors and readers.
Should I provide references of Usa for a politician of India?There's no need for that.
Suppose he is not notable inspite of giving many national suitable sources.As explained above on the sources that you have used.
how can persons be notable in wikipedia having regional sources, irrevalent sourcesSee: WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS We evaluate articles on their own individual merits and establish consensus for each article if need be. Just because other pages may be of X, doesn't mean that this page can be of X.
I think a few people is trying to demotivate new coner editorsI hope that my explanations clear up your questions that you may have. Typically for new politicians who doesn't have any prior history, their articles would have been either consigned to one of the three paths, deletion discussion (7 days of consensus building), draftification (giving the article grace of at least 6 months to work on), or merge and redirect into another page. But since there's some history in his career, it just need a couple more in-depth sources of him for the notability to be further established.
the references given clearly prove the notability. person not associated or lack of knowledge in the matter should not interfare to determine the notability of a politician. Baruah ranuj 12:13, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
person not associated or lack of knowledge in the matter should not interfare to determine the notability of a politician, I bring your attention to one of the the fundamental principles of Wikipedia:
Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. Since you don't want my help, sure, I will just let the article be in the NPP queue for another willing reviewer to review.

Robertsky hi. It's me nelson. I am here to tell you about the misunderstanding between me and secret squirrel because he or she seem to perceive me as a anti death penalty activist and suggesting me for having an ulterior motive in making articles on capital cases in the discussions to delete Kalwant Singh and Norasharee Gous. Actually I am not. I am just a ordinary young fella who only edit and create wiki articles out of interest. He even directly mentioned me at the top of the article capital punishment in Singapore to tell others to restrain me when I can actually do everything to amend my errors. I feel troubled about the sudden confrontation and misunderstanding that I thought maybe can seek advice from you on how to manage it, and if you can act as a meditator between me and squirrel to better help us clear up the misunderstanding.

Hi! I was wondering if you could help me with an edit I'm trying to make. I want to include info on the Straits Times history as a propaganda tool and how changes following WWII turned it into the paper it is today, both before and after Singaporean independence. However some of my edits were reverted and there was a suggestion of POV-pushing, which I would dispute. I don't think my information was biased in either a pro- or anti-Japanese direction but if it was, I want to avoid that so that this information, that I feel is important to the paper's history, can remain published and available. If you have time or the inclination, could you please take a look to see if anything seems biased or given undue weight? I need to beef up the post-war section, so it might be a little lopsided right now, but I will try to balance that. Thank you for your time! Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 15:54, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Redirects are not usually sorted to article categories. If you think there are exceptions as described in WP:RCAT, go ahead and add the categories. I don't go around reverting the additions unless they are egregious. – robertsky ( talk) 21:47, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

This award is given to Robertsky for 107 reviews in the July NPP backlog reduction drive. Your contributions played a part in the 9895 reviews that took place during the drive. Thank you for your contributions. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 08:32, 3 August 2022 (UTC) |
Hello! I have been helping to improve the draft article Draft:Connected (2022 film), which its submission was declined on 19 July 2022. I've added secondary sources that support the veracity of the article's information. Would it be okay to take a review on the progress of the draft article, and if the current version has met notability standards? Hoping for your swift action on the matter. Thanks and Godspeed!
Best regards, Xander Wu ( talk) 07:10, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello Robertsky,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Hello: I am an employee of Grove Collaborative and therefore have a COI relationship with this article. Below I have listed a few recent items that have recently been covered in the press that I think may improve the article. The content includes formatted sources. If someone were to find these updates a good use of their time to review, I’d greatly appreciate it. My goal is to always adhere to the Wikipedia rules and criteria.

I have the answer and just saw the Korean article . Happy Together (South Korean TV series)'s title can't be reverted to (1999 TV series) because it's not an undiscussed move. - St3095 (?) 11:15, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

We appear to have moved the page simultaneously. I'll let you move it back? Polyamorph ( talk) 06:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
You closed the requested move at Talk:Aramaic#Requested move 27 July 2022 as not moved. This outcome "should be used when a consensus has formed to keep the current title and not rename the article(s) in question." I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion but is far from reflecting the current state of the discussion. You provided no additional comments either. Could you elaborate? S.K.

An editor has asked for a Move review of Aramaic. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. S.K. ( talk) 12:21, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi Robertsky,
I have a question regarding page moves that I was hoping you could help me with. I went to draftify Ugo Ugochukwu, but I found that a draft already exists at Draft:Ugo Ugochukwu and was created by a different user. What's the best course of action here? I've seen others move it to a name such as Draft:Ugo Ugochukwu (2), but I wasn't sure if that was appropriate or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Robertsky,
For those who may have missed it in our last newsletter, here's a quick reminder to see the letter we have drafted, and if you support it, do please go ahead and sign it. If you already signed, thanks. Also, if you haven't noticed, the backlog has been trending up lately; all reviews are greatly appreciated.

Hi. Shan is not a separate script, but an application of the Burmese script. (Unicode even uses the same block.) I've moved it back to 'alphabet', though I couldn't move it to the proper title. Could you fix it please? Thanks. — kwami ( talk) 18:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Can you please review your close of the RM discussion at Talk:List of Paracetamol brand names? Every person who commented pointed out that "Paracetemol" should be lowercase, but you didn't seem to notice that at all. — BarrelProof ( talk) 02:05, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Morning
I don't really understand your rationale for closing this page as "moved". It was clearly shown that the car company is primary topic by page views (not counting people with the surname, which we generally don't count as none of them as known as *the* Talbot in a Thatcher or Churchill sense). The car company may be defunct, but it seems fairly clear it's still primary by significance and views over other topics, including the dog, which is the only vaguely near challenger.

A club with the name "PFC CSKA-Sofia" absolutely does exist. I advise you not to get involved into a subject that you have nothing in common with.

Hi there,
This is in response to your decision on my draft here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Pemandu_Associates.
According to wikipedia: "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I have provided many independent secondary sources that are independent of the subject such as from the World Bank, Harvard, Princeton, news, etc. I have also edited my drafts based on past reviewers' feedback. Kindly advise how can I improve on it... Cheers — Davidt1510 ( talk)

Devonian Wombat ( talk) 02:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Hi. This article's title is very misleading. The film is titled Ottu but was made under this name. The other version of the film Rendagam was not released at the specified date, so it makes sense now to move the article to Ottu (film). It is my fault for not directly moving the page (but how would I know the Tamil version would not release). DareshMohan ( talk) 16:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your contribution to this RM. I was wondering if you'd consider waiting for a bit more input before closing the discussion. An editor suggested an alternative (moving Thiago Santos (fighter) to Thiago Santos) which I believe is a better solution than my initial proposal, but there were no comments for or against following that suggestion. Thanks! 162 etc. ( talk) 16:55, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

... try to an obvious WP:SNOW discussion as "no consensus"? Please let an admin close the discussion. Volunteer Marek 17:39, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
The snowball clause may not always be appropriate if a particular outcome is merely "likely" or "quite likely", and there is a genuine and reasoned basis for disagreement.. I find that the opposes have genuine and reasoned basis for disagreement. If you fail to recognise those arguments as such, I suggest that you take a chill pill and disengage until you cool your head like some did ask of you on your talk page. – robertsky ( talk) 16:52, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Reobertsky
I'd like to query your close at Discovery_Channel_(Australia_and_New_Zealand). The proposed title was rejected by a large consensus in 2019, and I don't think it's correct to then go and move it on the back of a much smaller number of votes just three years later. The original title was the correct one, and I certainly oppose the move, as I did last time. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 14:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
