We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!
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:

The film has not yet begun shooting, and will only do so at the end of this month, or early next month. As per WP:NFF, "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date".

Fix-It Felix Jr., was originally intended to be only from the movie, but in reality, that is left behind, it actually exists, but it started as the Wreck-It Ralph promotion. Just people like you, deny the presence of the game in real life and not admit a related article, because you haven't seen or played it, I have played. It deserves to be, like the other games from the other movies.

Elmidae, I just noticed your edit with time stamp 15:20, 20 January 2018 in the revision history of the Brazil nut article. You used uncivil language, which demonstrates that you are an aggressive editor with an attitude of ownership. You initiated an edit war; one more revert will place you in direct violation of the WP:Three_Revert_Rule. Just so we’re clear with each other: absolutely nothing gives you the authority to tell me what I “bloody well can” or cannot do. You are advised to watch your tone.
I do not accept your opinions as the final ruling on this matter. Therefore, I will seek advice from other, more civil, contributors. Jam cpa ( talk) 00:47, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
The information in the articles, Bhajji, Bhaji, and Pakoda are confusing and wrong. I tried to correct it myself, I didn't want to start a whole discussion over this, since the the article is about a relatively trivial thing. Could you help, if you have knowledge of the subject matter?
First, Bhajji and Pakoda are one thing, Bhaji is another thing. The three articles speak of 2 things, while confusing Bhaji with Bhajji, which are two different things.
Thanks! DistributorScientiae ( talk) 07:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
There need to be two articles, and that would clean things up. I'm sure if I do it abruptly, someone will reverse it again. Otherwise, I would have constructed an intigrated 'Bhajji/Pakoda' article locally on my own editor, and then would have pasted it all in one go. Then I would make a 'Bhaji' stub. You got a workaround? DistributorScientiae ( talk) 07:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

I have a one question. Why did you redirect Myanmar Women League and 2016-17 Myanmar Women League to Myanmar Football Federation? . Because you combined Women League and Football Federation.

Text on Wikia is licenced under CC-BY-SA-3.0 the same as here on WP so had there been attribution at Elliot Alderson there wouldn't be a copyvio. Due to the lack of attribution you were correct to remove it and request revdel but you might want to re-consider the warning you left on Wyce17's talk page? Rather than the full-blooded copyvio warning something more specific about the need to attribute CC-licenced text, as the issue is more what they didn't do rather than what they did do.

Re this: you're right that it is the most common way for dab pages to start. But style consistency generally ranks lower than the need for a text to actually make sense. The first line of a dab page is a sentence fragment, and each entry is another fragment that completes it. A sentence like "Brohi may refer to an alternative spelling of Brahui" is nonsense. If you feel that the first line absolutely must have "refer to", then I don't have strong feelings about it, but you'll at least need to also rewrite the rest of the page. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Elmidae, my thinking is simply that we need specific pages for the divisions of the Old Testament as distinct from those of the Tanakh for clarity; it’s all been a bit scattered up to now. I’ve started some pages for the historical, poetic books, wisdom and prophetical books of Christianity and edited the {{Old Testament}} template to link to these. The idea is simply that we have for example poetic books for the division and then Biblical poetry for the wider genre, and so wisdom books and Wisdom literature, as well as linking to these pages, but I think we do need some summary articles for the specific sections of the Old Testament as well as articles treating the broader topic.

According to you, the sources provided in the article are not reliable?. Did you take the time to see them?.

Hello, Elmidae. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving 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
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.
Useful links:
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac ( talk) 13:02, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I've moved this to draft space to allow the authors time to find reliable sources for it while it's being created. I notice from the page history that you have recently contributed to it. It would be very helpful if you could continue to work on sourcing the page, after which you, or any of the other editors working on the page can resubmit it for review. Useful info regarding this process has been added to the top of the page. If you were reviewing the page or were tagging it for further editing but not actually contributing please feel free to disregard this message :). Thanks so much for your contributions.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Civil courage - The result was keep.
I only came across civil courage (at the last moment in that AfD) because User:DPL bot had flagged it for improperly linking to a DAB page.
Editors who nominate articles for deletion because the sources are in furrin and they can't be bothered to read/don't know how to read/don't know how to search for them annoy the bejasus out of me.
We seem to have similar opinions about the quality of sourcing in dewiki. IMO it's one of the worst of the Latin/Cyrillic/Greek alphabet Wikis for that.
(Higher up on your talk page, there's a discussion about DAB pages. No-one is infallible; but I've looked at north of 50,000 of them, have edited and created many, and sleep with WP:MOSDAB under my pillow. Feel free to {{ ping}} me any time.) Narky Blert ( talk) 23:40, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

You reversed my recent action at Book of Ryan without investigating the article's background or the history of the original redirect. There is no need to tell me to resist temptations without investigating the history of my own actions with the support of other editors. I created the original redirect myself on March 21 per the result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Book of Ryan. However, today a user contacted me and the other voter in the AfD with evidence that the album has been confirmed for release, and that information is in reliable sources that you apparently did not investigate before reversing my action. See also Talk:Book of Ryan and User talk:Sergecross73 (topic #6). The album's article now needs expansion with recent sources and I have instructed the interested User:Abhinav0908 to do so. He/she simply has not gotten to it yet. Your action on the article will be reversed but I will add a "refimprove" tag and may add the sources myself if User:Abhinav0908 can't get to it soon. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 16:21, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi and thank you for creating a list of suggested improvements to the article that you posted at
User talk:Onikjeh. There are two things that I'm going to take issue with. First of all, formatting or layout issues like the absence of a lede paragraph or categories are not grounds for moving articles into the draft space. Please don't do that unless there are serious issues with the content or the sourcing. Second, inline citations are usually preferable, but again, there is no requirement for articles to use inline referencing. Also, please note that in this case the article does have inline references, they're simply not formatted using <ref>...</ref>
tags. –

I thought you should be aware that you probably should add the pages for the Jimmy Neutron and Planet Sheen cartoons to your watchlist if they aren't already, as well as pages like the one for "List of Planet Sheen episodes". The anonymous user with the IP that starts with 60 has been hitting the Planet Sheen Wiki for over a month, interfering with the list of episodes on that wiki. It doesn't have an admin, so at the moment, I can only revert the edits as they happen.

Dear Admin, I was merely preserving SIM University's contents which was previously under Singapore Institute of Management and a private university.

regarding the page Ho-Wang Lee - I didn't actually blank the page. The last person to edit it prior to my review had already edited the page such that all that remained was the PROD template. I was therefore simply swapping the template. I did check the history and apparently there had been some previous fracas as to whether or not a redirect was required.

Hi!
You re-redirected Tartu School of Composition to Heino Eller Tartu Music College, but the two aren't really the same thing at all - I originally split them because the page for the College was pretty much 100% for the composition school ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Heino_Eller_Tartu_Music_College&type=revision&diff=828708284&oldid=802388535), which made little sense. It might be that neither is relevant enough for enwiki, but as the main music school in the second biggest city in Estonia and one of the main composition schools in Estonia, I'd think they are. Since you added a redirect, do you think there should be a subsection for the composition school under the College page then? While I'm not sure it makes sense, it might be better than just dropping the info about the school of composition completely as you currently did. -- Reosarevok ( talk) 09:38, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Why did you remove the page and put it as a redirect, the album is avaiable for pre-order and new information had been released. i don't understand the point in removing the informations — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockercar32 ( talk • contribs) 03:51, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
Re this: you're right that it is the most common way for dab pages to start. But style consistency generally ranks lower than the need for a text to actually make sense. The first line of a dab page is a sentence fragment, and each entry is another fragment that completes it. A sentence like "Brohi may refer to an alternative spelling of Brahui" is nonsense. If you feel that the first line absolutely must have "refer to", then I don't have strong feelings about it, but you'll at least need to also rewrite the rest of the page. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Elmidae, my thinking is simply that we need specific pages for the divisions of the Old Testament as distinct from those of the Tanakh for clarity; it’s all been a bit scattered up to now. I’ve started some pages for the historical, poetic books, wisdom and prophetical books of Christianity and edited the {{Old Testament}} template to link to these. The idea is simply that we have for example poetic books for the division and then Biblical poetry for the wider genre, and so wisdom books and Wisdom literature, as well as linking to these pages, but I think we do need some summary articles for the specific sections of the Old Testament as well as articles treating the broader topic.

Thanks for reviewing Sebastian Zawadzki, Elmidae.
Unfortunately Primefac has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:
Huge chunk of copyvio material was removed, so I figured it would be best to be re-reviewed.

According to you, the sources provided in the article are not reliable?. Did you take the time to see them?. The accounts of Instagram and Twitter are official accounts, although there were not many sources available with respect to the production, it was not until today that People en Español magazine published a note about the telenovela.-- Philip J Fry / talk 13:51, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Elmidae. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving 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
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

I've moved this to draft space to allow the authors time to find reliable sources for it while it's being created. I notice from the page history that you have recently contributed to it. It would be very helpful if you could continue to work on sourcing the page, after which you, or any of the other editors working on the page can resubmit it for review. Useful info regarding this process has been added to the top of the page. If you were reviewing the page or were tagging it for further editing but not actually contributing please feel free to disregard this message :). Thanks so much for your contributions.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Civil courage - The result was keep.
I only came across civil courage (at the last moment in that AfD) because User:DPL bot had flagged it for improperly linking to a DAB page.
Editors who nominate articles for deletion because the sources are in furrin and they can't be bothered to read/don't know how to read/don't know how to search for them annoy the bejasus out of me.
We seem to have similar opinions about the quality of sourcing in dewiki. IMO it's one of the worst of the Latin/Cyrillic/Greek alphabet Wikis for that.
(Higher up on your talk page, there's a discussion about DAB pages. No-one is infallible; but I've looked at north of 50,000 of them, have edited and created many, and sleep with WP:MOSDAB under my pillow. Feel free to {{ ping}} me any time.) Narky Blert ( talk) 23:40, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

You reversed my recent action at Book of Ryan without investigating the article's background or the history of the original redirect. There is no need to tell me to resist temptations without investigating the history of my own actions with the support of other editors. I created the original redirect myself on March 21 per the result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Book of Ryan. However, today a user contacted me and the other voter in the AfD with evidence that the album has been confirmed for release, and that information is in reliable sources that you apparently did not investigate before reversing my action. See also Talk:Book of Ryan and User talk:Sergecross73 (topic #6). The album's article now needs expansion with recent sources and I have instructed the interested User:Abhinav0908 to do so. He/she simply has not gotten to it yet. Your action on the article will be reversed but I will add a "refimprove" tag and may add the sources myself if User:Abhinav0908 can't get to it soon. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 16:21, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi and thank you for creating a list of suggested improvements to the article that you posted at
User talk:Onikjeh. There are two things that I'm going to take issue with. First of all, formatting or layout issues like the absence of a lede paragraph or categories are not grounds for moving articles into the draft space. Please don't do that unless there are serious issues with the content or the sourcing. Second, inline citations are usually preferable, but again, there is no requirement for articles to use inline referencing. Also, please note that in this case the article does have inline references, they're simply not formatted using <ref>...</ref>
tags. –

On a side note, I wouldn't worry too much about curating the article at this stage: it appears to be part of a student project involving several related articles, and it's probably wiser to wait until that is complete. – Uanfala (talk) 09:15, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey! Saw you changed the article I was working on back to redirect /info/en/?search=Jesse_Kanda . Just wondering if there is anything I can do to demonstrate independent notoriety more? I'm pretty sure Kanda is an influential artist in his own right since almost all of Arca's visual material comes from Kanda?
When you changed it the article was still a bit of a mess that's totally my fault - I will use the sandbox next time! Best wishes,

I do realise that a past discussion has gone on about this album, but I believe that it is notable enough to have its own page. Its just given people more info about specifically the album.

I thought you should be aware that you probably should add the pages for the Jimmy Neutron and Planet Sheen cartoons to your watchlist if they aren't already, as well as pages like the one for "List of Planet Sheen episodes". The anonymous user with the IP that starts with 60 has been hitting the Planet Sheen Wiki for over a month, interfering with the list of episodes on that wiki. It doesn't have an admin, so at the moment, I can only revert the edits as they happen. The frequency at which they are editing indicates they may perform similarly on Wikipedia. − RRabbit42 ( talk) 03:33, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Dear Admin, I was merely preserving SIM University's contents which was previously under Singapore Institute of Management and a private university. SIM University was later acquired by the government, renamed and restructured into SUSS.

regarding the page Ho-Wang Lee - I didn't actually blank the page. The last person to edit it prior to my review had already edited the page such that all that remained was the PROD template. I was therefore simply swapping the template. I did check the history and apparently there had been some previous fracas as to whether or not a redirect was required. CSD seemed the appropriate option, but I'll leave as is if you think restoring it as a redirect is better. Edaham ( talk) 08:14, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi!
You re-redirected Tartu School of Composition to Heino Eller Tartu Music College, but the two aren't really the same thing at all - I originally split them because the page for the College was pretty much 100% for the composition school ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Heino_Eller_Tartu_Music_College&type=revision&diff=828708284&oldid=802388535), which made little sense. It might be that neither is relevant enough for enwiki, but as the main music school in the second biggest city in Estonia and one of the main composition schools in Estonia, I'd think they are. Since you added a redirect, do you think there should be a subsection for the composition school under the College page then? While I'm not sure it makes sense, it might be better than just dropping the info about the school of composition completely as you currently did. -- Reosarevok ( talk) 09:38, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

I found that you removed the part of 'Values of jeju Oreum' again. I wrote the value which Jeju Oreum has, not for advertisement. That context is also not my opinion, but that of expert. It is from book and scientific treatise (the study of jeju oreum) which have public confidence. (please see the references) And you said it is non-neutral. Do you mean the 'value' should not be written because it is only a positive things? If you think it is a matter of style of sentences(essay-style), then it is better to change those things, not to delete it.-- Yeon So Jeong ( talk) 06:52, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
