Thank you so much for picking up the task of slogging through the articles tagged for notability and determining if they should stay or go. I'd been doing it for several months before other things took priority, so I'm glad the work goes on. UtherSRG (talk) 13:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC) |
Hi Boleyn! Thanks for all your work on the geography stubs (some of which need to be tossed for notability) - while I appreciate it, this has added about 130 articles to the November 2023 unreferenced articles category in a few hours. I know there are no hard rules about drive-by taggings, but if you have the time, would you please try to add a source or an external link to some of them? WikiProject Unreferenced articles has a very small handful of active users and our backlog is some 116,000 articles. We would also definitely appreciate having an editor of your caliber and experience involved if you'd be interested! Thank you and have a good evening. Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 23:11, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Boleyn
Please see the recent RM at Talk:Stephen Kirk. The purpose of the move was indicated in the proposing comment - "Rather than using a pointless disambiguation page, it'd be much better to move Stephen Kirk (handballer) to Stephen Kirk and add an hatnote for each article saying "For the footballer/handballer, see Steve/Stephen Kirk"."

Hello Boleyn,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hello, Boleyn,
This is a 20 year old article, it's been around Wikipedia even longer than you! It should not be draftified unless there are COI concerns or it is the closure decision of an AFD discussion. Draftification is primarily for recently created articles but I know that you already know this and I'm telling you nothing new. In the case of an article this old, draftifying is often just another form of deletion and for a longstanding article, other methods should be used like PRODding or sending it to AFD.

Thank you so much for picking up the task of slogging through the articles tagged for notability and determining if they should stay or go. I'd been doing it for several months before other things took priority, so I'm glad the work goes on. UtherSRG (talk) 13:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC) |
Hi Boleyn! Thanks for all your work on the geography stubs (some of which need to be tossed for notability) - while I appreciate it, this has added about 130 articles to the November 2023 unreferenced articles category in a few hours. I know there are no hard rules about drive-by taggings, but if you have the time, would you please try to add a source or an external link to some of them? WikiProject Unreferenced articles has a very small handful of active users and our backlog is some 116,000 articles. We would also definitely appreciate having an editor of your caliber and experience involved if you'd be interested! Thank you and have a good evening. Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 23:11, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Boleyn
Please see the recent RM at Talk:Stephen Kirk. The purpose of the move was indicated in the proposing comment - "Rather than using a pointless disambiguation page, it'd be much better to move Stephen Kirk (handballer) to Stephen Kirk and add an hatnote for each article saying "For the footballer/handballer, see Steve/Stephen Kirk"." This is a clear WP:TWODABS situation and there are no other notable people with this name.

Hello Boleyn,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hello, Boleyn,
This is a 20 year old article, it's been around Wikipedia even longer than you! It should not be draftified unless there are COI concerns or it is the closure decision of an AFD discussion. Draftification is primarily for recently created articles but I know that you already know this and I'm telling you nothing new. In the case of an article this old, draftifying is often just another form of deletion and for a longstanding article, other methods should be used like PRODding or sending it to AFD.
