On 21 May 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Frankie Saluto, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Frankie Saluto was a member of the Ringling Giants, a dwarf baseball team that raised money for charity? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Frankie Saluto. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Frankie Saluto), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Why you delete my edits for KD? Don’t you see that I have attached the reference? You loser please stop doing foolish things. Dreamkd ( talk) 18:58, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi CollectiveSolidarity, One of the sources I referenced is an actual Lamborghini historian, (However, I can delete the other two sources, which were taken from two people who are not historians) who is extremely knowledgable when it comes to these types of cars. As the reliable source section states, "media must be produced by a reliable source" I'd say John Temerian is considered to be a reliable source when it comes to these types of things. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ROCKSTAR HELLA ( talk • contribs) 21:05, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
I'm not recalling how to go about it, but the WMF will pay subscription fees for sites like that. We also have a forum just for newer editors called The Teahouse. The volunteers there will be glad to help you find those resources. 174.212.229.61 ( talk) 08:27, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
It isn’t really an editorializing word, you know, just an adjective. I didn’t revert you because people revert too much, and I don’t have actual objections to “major” except that it might possibly be a bit trite. I don’t think it’s an improvement but it’s also not wrong, basically. But ok, I did want to talk to you about it a little. If you somehow graphed the violence of the war over time, whether based on deaths, or missile strikes, economic costs, or whatever, the graph would go sharply up, so in this case the word is actually objective.
I like the way you are thinking; when I edit for neutral point of view I sometimes use an edit summary that says “removing adjectives”. I am just at loose ends for a moment and so taking the time to point out to you that while editorializing uses adjectives, not all adjectives are editorializing.
I realize that I probably sound like I’m overthinking this. Welcome to Wikipedia ;) One of my self-assigned wiki missions is keeping that article small enough to add on to still, because the war isn’t over yet, so I have been giving quite a bit of thought to its wording, especially in the lede, shrug. I hope this friendly quibble is coming across as a friendly quibble as it is intended to, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia;) Elinruby ( talk) 08:51, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
I didn’t revert it. And I was trying, apparently too hard, not to sound condescending. In any event, have a nice day. Elinruby ( talk) 17:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Why do accounts like this seem to always revert edits and do their worthless moderation without actually reading the content? Are they bots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:280:CB02:1C79:146E:722B:2C2B:5CC7 ( talk) 03:56, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi CollectiveSolidarity. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 02:40, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Apologies for being harsh in an edit summary. The rollback will create lots of add-backs, and these were some of them which should stand well. Kind of a mess which editors will have to compare to see what good edits were removed. Thanks for your patience. Randy Kryn ( talk) 18:44, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for improving articles in September!

Hello The Night Watch,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Just wanted to let you know I claimed one of your mentee's after a talk page discussion with them. I'm going to help them learn the ropes of editing and creating content through a series of lessons in an effort to avoid any further sanctions and aid them in growth and development. Should you object or should they decide to no longer accept my assistance I will return them to you as a mentee. -- ARose Wolf 18:58, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, The Night Watch,
I was looking over the AFD discussion on this article and while it very well might be deleted, you tagged it for AFD 21 minutes after it was created. That is not enough time for even the best content creator to write a decent article and source it properly.
In the future, please do not be so quick to send newly created articles to AFD. Allow the article creator a few hours or even a day (or longer!) to pull together a version of an article that might survive a deletion discussion. While its preferred that editors create articles and develop them over time in their sandbox or Draft space, some editors prefer to write directly into main space and it's nearly impossible to write a decent article that quickly. As I said, it could be that this article subject is not notable and the article will be deleted, but unless there is really troublesome content (BLP violations, copyright problems, advertising, etc.), please do not be so quick to tag a newly created article for an AFD discussion. Thank you, in advance, for taking into consideration the concerns of content creators and new editors. Liz Read! Talk! 22:18, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi, when reviewing pages, please don't move everything into draftspace. Sometimes it's suitable when a page needs more than tagging and cleanup in mainspace, for things like Draft:Green Entertainment, just CSD it. Try to avoid using draftification as a 6-month PROD.

The New Page Patroller's Barnstar | |
For over 100 article reviews during 2022. Thank you for patrolling new pages and helping us out with the backlog! - MPGuy2824 ( talk) 03:44, 2 January 2023 (UTC) |
Hello The Night Watch,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

I'm not recalling how to go about it, but the WMF will pay subscription fees for sites like that. We also have a forum just for newer editors called The Teahouse. The volunteers there will be glad to help you find those resources. 174.212.229.61 ( talk) 08:27, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
It isn’t really an editorializing word, you know, just an adjective. I didn’t revert you because people revert too much, and I don’t have actual objections to “major” except that it might possibly be a bit trite. I don’t think it’s an improvement but it’s also not wrong, basically. But ok, I did want to talk to you about it a little. If you somehow graphed the violence of the war over time, whether based on deaths, or missile strikes, economic costs, or whatever, the graph would go sharply up, so in this case the word is actually objective.
I like the way you are thinking; when I edit for neutral point of view I sometimes use an edit summary that says “removing adjectives”. I am just at loose ends for a moment and so taking the time to point out to you that while editorializing uses adjectives, not all adjectives are editorializing.
I realize that I probably sound like I’m overthinking this. Welcome to Wikipedia ;) One of my self-assigned wiki missions is keeping that article small enough to add on to still, because the war isn’t over yet, so I have been giving quite a bit of thought to its wording, especially in the lede, shrug. I hope this friendly quibble is coming across as a friendly quibble as it is intended to, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia;) Elinruby ( talk) 08:51, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
I didn’t revert it. And I was trying, apparently too hard, not to sound condescending. In any event, have a nice day. Elinruby ( talk) 17:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Why do accounts like this seem to always revert edits and do their worthless moderation without actually reading the content? Are they bots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:280:CB02:1C79:146E:722B:2C2B:5CC7 ( talk) 03:56, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi CollectiveSolidarity. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 02:40, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Apologies for being harsh in an edit summary. The rollback will create lots of add-backs, and these were some of them which should stand well. Kind of a mess which editors will have to compare to see what good edits were removed. Thanks for your patience. Randy Kryn ( talk) 18:44, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello The Night Watch,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Just wanted to let you know I claimed one of your mentee's after a talk page discussion with them. I'm going to help them learn the ropes of editing and creating content through a series of lessons in an effort to avoid any further sanctions and aid them in growth and development. Should you object or should they decide to no longer accept my assistance I will return them to you as a mentee. -- ARose Wolf 18:58, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, The Night Watch,
I was looking over the AFD discussion on this article and while it very well might be deleted, you tagged it for AFD 21 minutes after it was created. That is not enough time for even the best content creator to write a decent article and source it properly.
In the future, please do not be so quick to send newly created articles to AFD. Allow the article creator a few hours or even a day (or longer!) to pull together a version of an article that might survive a deletion discussion. While its preferred that editors create articles and develop them over time in their sandbox or Draft space, some editors prefer to write directly into main space and it's nearly impossible to write a decent article that quickly. As I said, it could be that this article subject is not notable and the article will be deleted, but unless there is really troublesome content (BLP violations, copyright problems, advertising, etc.), please do not be so quick to tag a newly created article for an AFD discussion. Thank you, in advance, for taking into consideration the concerns of content creators and new editors. Liz Read! Talk! 22:18, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi, when reviewing pages, please don't move everything into draftspace. Sometimes it's suitable when a page needs more than tagging and cleanup in mainspace, for things like Draft:Green Entertainment, just CSD it. Try to avoid using draftification as a 6-month PROD.

The New Page Patroller's Barnstar | |
For over 100 article reviews during 2022. Thank you for patrolling new pages and helping us out with the backlog! - MPGuy2824 ( talk) 03:44, 2 January 2023 (UTC) |
Hello The Night Watch,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
