Hello Girth Summit,

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Hello @ Girth Summit, I am reaching out to discuss the possibility of amending the terms of my topic ban, specifically regarding the timeline for appealing the ban. I would like to request a reduction in the appeal period from 12 months to 6 months.

Since my imposed topic ban, I have remained committed to contributing positively to Wikipedia. My intent has always been to contribute positively to wikipedia within the guidelines and policies that govern our community. I believe my editing history post-ban reflects a genuine effort to adhere to these principles and contribute valuable information to various subjects.

My original ban stemmed from an unintentional violation of wikipedia's meatpuppetry policy, which occurred during a collaboration with a former co-worker. This was not a deliberate attempt to manipulate or undermine Wikipedia's procedures but a misunderstanding of the collaboration boundaries within the platform's guidelines, Since then, I have taken steps to deepen my understanding of Wikipedia's policies and community standards to ensure that my contributions are constructive.

One area I am particularly interested in contributing to involves the concept of the Network State, coined by Balaji Srinivasan in his book and other governance-related articles. I believe that by engaging in such topics, I can offer valuable insights and content to Wikipedia, improving the coverage of emerging concepts in governance and digital communities.

Given my history of constructive contributions and my commitment to continuous learning and adherence to Wikipedia's policies, I'd like to respectfully request that you consider my appeal to reduce the waiting period for my topic ban appeal to 6 months. I am fully prepared to engage in further discussions or fulfill any requirements the community or you may deem necessary to facilitate this request.

Thank you for considering my request. Mr Vili talk 03:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi Mr Vili, sorry for the slow response, I've been very busy with real life things these past few weeks.

Now, for the benefit of any talk page watchers who stumble across this, and in the interests of keeping the record straight, your original block was because of the connection with an account that you were collaborating with, and which you assert belonged to a co-worker rather than yourself. You did then afterwards deliberately evade that block by making an actual sockpuppet account, so let's not pretend that your block record is purely a result of some innocent misunderstandings on your part.

Now, with regards to your request, I've taken a brief look at some of your recent editing, and I find some of it rather concerning. For example, I looked at Jamba (language model), which you authored. In my personal view, the article is written in a highly promotional manner, and would benefit from a great deal of pruning, or perhaps a complete rewrite. It's not just the tone though, it's the sourcing. The article contains this sentence: Jamba performs well across a number of key measurements including throughput and efficiency while outperforming or matching other state-of-the-art models in its class on a wide range of performance benchmarks while having significantly greater context limits enabling use-cases that require increased context. The assertions in the sentence are supported by two citations. One of them is a promotional piece on the website of the language model's creator - that is a primary, affiliated source, and it absolutely should not be used to support any assertion about the subject's efficacy. The other citation is to VentureBeat, which appears to be quite cagey in its language - I see no assertion there about the subject' efficacy that does not have hedging language in it such as 'According to AI21 Labs' or 'AI21 Labs also claims that...' and such like. In other words, we are asking our readers to take the word of the model's creator for assertions about how good it is - that simply is not how we write articles, and it does not give me a great deal of comfort when I'm considering whether you have really taken on board what our mission is here.

Diffing a bit further, I stumbled upon this deletion discussion, a highly respected and very experienced administrator and former arbitrator noted that you weren't just edit warring at the article, you were edit warring over content supported by some very dubious sources in an article that was covered by WP:BLP restrictions. That also gives me very little comfort.

I'm afraid that I do not think that it would be in anyone's interests, including your own, to allow an early appeal of your ban - I think that it would actually serve you better to have a longer period of time in which you can learn more about how to write neutral, factual content, and source it appropriately, before asking the community to consider rescinding your topic ban. Best, Girth Summit _(blether) 15:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Girth Summit no problem, thank you for the reply.

Sorry I just wanted to clarify the actual sockpuppet account I created was indeed a misunderstanding (I created it thinking that WP:FRESHSTART applied, but I did not read carefully and skipped the part about where it does not apply to accounts that are blocked)

The real issue there in my opinion was my denial of sock-puppetry with that account after it was discovered.

You are right about the article content about Jamba, I believe there was definitely room for improvement in that article - I can't write the perfect article every time but my goal/intention was to improve coverage over new AI models and serve as a base for future editors to further improve the AI models. I believe the section you mentioned definitely has some tone/sourcing issues and should be written in a more neutral way.

Regarding the edit warring, they were relatively uncontroversial additions (his number of children, and about his hair transplant) - Daniel Case (admin) stated " The editors involved also seem to have settled this amicably" - I don't believe any of our intentions were to edit war, when I reverted the 2nd or 3rd time, I created a talk page section to discuss it further"

With all in this in mind, I believe my block was never truly a result of my editing quality, rather of my meatpuppetry which has completely ceased as I no longer edit with that person (and the sockpuppet account was a mistake I created after misinterpreting fresh start policy, but then denying sockpuppetry which I take accountability for)

Would you be willing to reconsider in light of this? Mr Vili talk 05:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

No, I remain of the opinion that the TBan serves your own interests, and those of the project. I would suggest that you spend some time working on improving those articles you started to get rid of the promotional language and ensure that they are properly supported by independent, secondary sources - that would be likely to give people more confidence in your editing abilities, and would put you in a better place to apply for the Tban to be lifted in six months time.

Hello Girth Summit,

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.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hello Girth Summit, I hope you are doing well. You blocked Milli's Boy two months ago for socking. I believe they have returned with the User:Pulmowrites account. They are requesting a review in the same way for the same type of South Indian film. Both users use two (~~) before their signature. Please check 1 and 2. I am reporting this here as I don't know who the master account is. Thanks in advance. – DreamRimmer ( talk) 13:39, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Since you are the CU who recently addressed the Kolossoni case, would you please have a look at the recent edits on my talkpage? I wasn't sure at first, but the more the IP range in question writes there and in their article talkpage contributions, the more they do sound like Kolossoni evading their sockblock. The same writing style, the same level of language fluency, the same bludgeoning, the fact that the range started editing two days after Kolossoni's unblock appeal was denied, the fact they were watching the other edits SLIMHANNYA made, and so on; the only difference is the mobile editing. I do see a couple of specific details I could e-mail to you, but given how much attention Kolossoni paid to talkpages, I'm reluctant to openly post them. It seems to me that a rangeblock is in order, if it wouldn't cause too much collateral damage.

Separately, I'm starting to get a strong vibe that Kolossoni is connected to a certain well-known LTA, where they tick a lot of boxes: obsession with East Asian genetics and culture--especially ancient origins (including specifically Genetic history of East Asians); long-winded edit summaries; specific ethnic claims among the socks, or usernames that suggest a specific ethnic background (Kolossoni claimed to be German in Australia, Turtle Historian claimed to be Korean in Australia, 素敵なカタチ claimed to be Japanese in America, "Crumpets & Muffins" suggests a UK connection); and removal of sourced material. Grandpallama ( talk) 16:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I am this IP range that OP is accusing to be Kolossoni. I keep telling them I am not them. I do suspect they knows I am not a Korean nationalist. But they hype this up and his friend go support it, in order to get me checked. But "fishing"— when you push for the use of the CheckUser tools without good cause specific to a given user account is prohibited per policy and they are manipulating the evidence against me when there are none. [1] However I doubt checkuser machine could confirm him to be me because I know for a fact I am not him, and so I support a fair investigation to prove that too. But I do suspect Grandpallama is unfairly twisting me to be him in hope to get me blocked as his suspected. And that's why I need to defend myself and so he can go call it bludgeoning. I don't care as he made up his mind but he is wrong about me being this Kolossoni. And why I am good with checkuser tools to show he is wrong on this. There's no need to take anyone's words for it but just test me against Kolossoni please. 49.180.201.37 ( talk) 22:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@Grandpallama In your talk page, you say I was bludgeoning it. What you call as "bludgeoning" was my attempt to tell you that I am not him and tried to explain that to you with reason. Your friend's biggest accusation against me seems to be that I gave him the impression that I am some Korean nationalist. [2] But what edit could I have possibly done to deserve that lofty claim? I never once attacked Japan in cherry blossoms article or ever put Korea above them so I haven't even exhibited any real signs of being a Korean nationalist as they claim. If there is an edit, do show it to me. And what's ridiculous is I mentioned Korea briefly once in that article. Yes, a grand total of just once. Yet that's all it takes to smear me wrongfully as a Korean nationalist? [3] Simply mentioning Korea once isn't enough to so surely say one is a Korean nationalist and don't like to be concluded as one so liberally, with such poor evidence.

Also saying to Girth Summit that I have followed your friend is blatantly misleading. Actually he was the one that reverted me and then replied first on my talk thread that I had created. [4] So naturally I was curious and after waiting around a hour for his reply back, I looked at his profile. I also looked at recon rabbit's profile too. That's not following but a typical reaction for any editor whenever an unfamiliar someone replies to your thread quickly and you want to know what they are about. 49.180.201.37 ( talk) 12:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

And though I am not wanting to defend this Austrian WorldCreaterFighter. I think you are possibly also wrong to accuse him of being Kolossoni too. I had a look at his listed anon edits and many seem very prejudiced against Koreans. Your friend gave me an impression that Kolossoni was some pro Korean nationalist. And if that's accurate, then it appears to me that the Austrian may not fit his profile so well. Are you even that sure they are the same person? [5] [6]

Or accusing another person who may have absolutely nothing to do with this Kolossoni? 49.180.201.37 ( talk) 12:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Grandpallama, sorry for the delay - I'm only sporadically available at the moment, going through some big stuff IRL at the moment. So, the CU policy prohibits me from connecting IPs with accounts, even when those accounts are blocked. I am therefore not able to comment on the technical evidence that may or may not link these IPs with that account; behavioural investigation would be necessary, which I don't currently have time for, could you add any details to the open SPI case please? I did uncover an unused sock that is confirmed to Kolossoni - Knowledge Pudding - but that's all I'm able to divulge at this point, sorry. Girth Summit _(blether) 09:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I know you can't divulge technical details, but thank you for taking another peek; knowing there was an additional sock is helpful in itself. So far, the IP has primarily been concerned with being a nuisance at various talkpages, which is why I hadn't pursued anything at SPI. Now they've drawn a block from all the quacking their constant posting has caused. Good luck with the "big stuff", which I hope is all firmly of a positive nature!

Aims After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008. Specific aims for the project are:- To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below) To recruit more active editors (See Member News) To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below) To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised. Priority Articles The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows - Bradford • Doncaster • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • Northern England • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

Thanks for draftifying UV Creations. I was just about to message you about it. – DreamRimmer ( talk) 12:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply

No worries. I see that there was a discussion about that article at the COI noticeboard last month - if only someone had thought to dig a bit deeper at the time, the technical connection was clear as day. Girth Summit _(blether) 12:37, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I've just made sure to keep an eye on all the articles that this farm has heavily edited. – DreamRimmer ( talk) 12:55, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ DreamRimmerConsidering all these investigations and such, why would I bother editing the previous articles? 😂 I've observed the pattern of how a sock puppet account can get caught. I'll simply create a new ID with a new IP and device. Thank you! Cheers! 👍 ~~ 2409:40F0:1008:A252:B497:D90C:A8B5:5080 ( talk) 13:35, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
