Hello Ingenuity,
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.

Redirecting Where is Kate? to Catherine,_Princess_of_Wales#Health
I appreciate your effort in closing the AfD... but not leaving a redirect is not a policy based outcome, and so I've corrected it. {{ R from non-neutral name}} signals that that title is disfavored, the history remains deleted, and random readers landing on that prior name are instead redirected to the much more succinct remaining section in the biography. Cheers, Jclemens ( talk) 08:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Makes sense. Thanks, @

- Please amend the closure to enable the redirect not to get deleted. The Anome has now deleted and fully protected the redirect per your close: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log&logid=161262546. If you feel like you need to talk to The Anome about undeleting the redirect, that would be great. The redirect should be undeleted. Ping Jclemens.— Alalch E. 09:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. Given that you are fine with Jclemens' reasoning, I will now restore the redirect: can you please update your closing summary to reflect this? —
The Anome (

-
The Anome What you have now restored is the whole page history and created a redirect - which suggests this was closed as "redirect" but it was not. It was closed as "delete". The redirect that Jclemens created was a delete and then redirect. As
Jclemens says,
the history remains deleted
. The redirect is created after the deletion based on the assumption that someone will search this disfavoured term and want the primary article. Whether that is really a policy based outcome is unclear, but that was the intent, and not unreasonable based on the existence of a wikidata item. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 10:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)- I assume Anome made a mistake here, so I've re-deleted the page and undeleted the correct revisions. —

As a matter of curiosity, why did you end up closing Where is Kate? as delete, instead of a merge. Especially with your comment "most people felt that, although there is significant coverage, the article contained more detail than was necessary, and a section in Catherine, Princess of Wales would be more appropriate." Esolo5002 ( talk) 22:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @ Esolo5002. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I considered closing it as merge, but many !voters felt that the article's content was inappropriate and should be deleted, and merging would require the article's history to be preserved. It would also have to be a very selective merge, and since there already sections on the main article, it's moot now anyway. Essentially, I felt there wasn't a large benefit to merging it. — Ingenuity ( talk • contribs) 20:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Ingenuity,
I noticed that you're quite experienced with article creation on Wikipedia. I would appreciate it, if you could help me look over a biography I recently created on a filmmaker Dare Olaitan. I would just like to be sure it has an encyclopedic tone and that the references are reliable.
Thank you for your time. Aivrie ( talk) 01:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, saw your edit and edit summary on Abortion debate, and now I'm curious: how can you tell if content is AI generated? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 02:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- @
Mr Serjeant Buzfuz: there's not just one thing that can determine if content is AI-generated, unfortunately, but there are a few things I look for. ChatGPT never cites sources (it's not really capable of doing that), and it often generates a opening paragraph, followed by a list, and then a closing paragraph (like in
this edit). It uses some phrases often, like "some key points to consider", "plays a crucial role", etc. Another giveaway is that their edit on
abortion debate was only two minutes after their last edit, so they'd have to type pretty fast! —

Hello Ingenuity,
I noticed that you're quite experienced with article creation on Wikipedia. I would appreciate it, if you could help me look over a biography I recently created on a filmmaker Dare Olaitan. I would just like to be sure it has an encyclopedic tone and that the references are reliable.
Thank you for your time. Aivrie ( talk) 01:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, saw your edit and edit summary on Abortion debate, and now I'm curious: how can you tell if content is AI generated? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 02:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- @
Mr Serjeant Buzfuz: there's not just one thing that can determine if content is AI-generated, unfortunately, but there are a few things I look for. ChatGPT never cites sources (it's not really capable of doing that), and it often generates a opening paragraph, followed by a list, and then a closing paragraph (like in
this edit). It uses some phrases often, like "some key points to consider", "plays a crucial role", etc. Another giveaway is that their edit on
abortion debate was only two minutes after their last edit, so they'd have to type pretty fast! —

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am contacting you, seeing as how you have unblocked the user who I have noted above, to ask if it would be OK to remove the sock tag from their userpage? I ask since they are unblocked now, and I don't see a reason to keep it around at this point. Thank you. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 15:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done that now, thanks for pointing that out. — Ingenuity ( talk • contribs) 15:22, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I acknowledge the mistake I made for the Hamas edit; however, I have not created invalid pages and want to ask for undoing the revoke, I am terribly sorry about the mistake. Thank you Justin L. 1230 ( talk) 22:58, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I only just noticed your warning me about my violation of 3RR here, and I want to sincerely apologize. You are completely right, I should have taken care not to violate the edit warring policy, and from here on out I will warn a user who is edit warring and stop reverting before I violate the rule per your reasoning. Sorry about this, thank you for calling me on it. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 20:53, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
