Unblock Request - editing through IP 108.171.132.171 with my account is blocked![]() Glane23 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Even though I have a valid account and no issues for more than 9 years, I've been caught in a block of 108.171.132.171 so that I cannot edit even with my account. I've emailed the blocking admin, Wizardman, but his talk page indicates he's on a wikibreak. Can someone else help by allowing me to edit through the IP block using my account?

But there is extreme doubt that she was born in 1949 as indicated at the top of the page. That would make her 68. Does she look 68? On her web pages she has pics of her new baby about 5 years ago.

![]() This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here.

In your page of GTEM at the NOTE section, there is an explicit link placed from our competitor: Emctest.it that contrast your policy! Rules are rules and valid for everybody!! If you think that we can contribute with images movie and datasheet please give a look at our site www.GTEMCELL.COM (...in the world we are one of the three main manufacturers of cells and I think we can surely supply useful contribute!)

![]() Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.
Six Month Queue Data: Today – 7242 Low – 2393 High – 7250 Stay up to date with even more news – subscribe to The Signpost. New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019![]() Hello Glane23,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages. Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs. Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools. Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

New Page Review newsletter November 2019![]() Hello Glane23, This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 815 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year.

New Page Review newsletter December 2019
![]() This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult. Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well. Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year. Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.
(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag. Delivered by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) at 16:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC) ITV Box Office ClosureHi I did provide a citation!

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020![]() Hello Glane23,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020![]() Hello Glane23,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Basically it highlights the canal linkage source, that no one knows about and well basically is not documented anywhere maybe only one person that knows and well when he is gone, this information is gone with it. The only place in South Africa that one can document this without very important things like this going missing, website info and documentation just gets lost, with this government is basically a wiki. I am Engineering actually has the Fotos, but no really knows what's going on here. This is basically the most important and largest water resource in the country that needs to be managed for electricity generation, irrigation and drinking water, in which current city port Elizabeth that water has been redirected to has declared a day zero. I basically know this because I have been on there and was explained, I am not connecting the 2 major water basin transfer scheme so that people can understand where the water actually comes from as redirected from the other side of the country via many complex rivers and channels, which is like 5 hours away. Its is very important that this information gets added. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Port%20Elizabeth&diff=979600519 I look forward to hearing back from you. Kind Regards, Wesley Oliver
Hi Geoff, Sadly, this what is the problem in the country, website with resource and things like that and books are slowly disappearing and when updated websites, they losing information. That reference that I have quatoed there is basically brought forward from the fish river wiki page, to consolidate the flow of water into a single paragraph on one page. Should I reference the wiki-page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundays_River#Fish-Sundays_River_Canal_Scheme where this is stated first time instead? Basically, the department of water affairs has lost that information. What I now do with things is I print-to-pdf and put in my drive, because in like a few months or years time it will just get lost, or resource for the page go missing images, extra. I found other interesting resource, but they are available for as long as that persons entity maintains the server and pays those bills. So ultimately, the world is going to need other solution to this, mabye wiki in the further could be the world decofactor source of information, where it snap and mirrors copies of references, because information will eventually get lost. One way or the other especially in 3rd world countries, we going to have to find a solution to this problem. Same applies for youtube video documenteries and self documenteries, in which things get lost need be index mabye kinda official ones, as typically no else get see things but them, so video footage will be the only thing one has in the future years. Also those place that are well, very popular, there are many videos and it takes a while for googles recommender system to get the rights ones to surface, have watch a few, before start find ones might be looking for. Anyways those just some thoughts i guess, where could document what tourism and government doesn't but extremely interesting history of places visually as we never be able to re-vist those places. Let me know you thoughts on that reference, weather better to reference the other wiki page or the original source.
Comment by 199.7.158.232Hi Geoff, I worked at Data card for a long time. The company started as Addressograph (was know as Data Card Addressograph) before being Data Card (two words) Corp. It wasn't until after the short and failed re-branding in the 1990's that the name Datacard Group was spun in circa 1998. I worked there at the same time Stephan Quandt worked there. I was a director of the SI division and also the Government Group under Greg Thom (DCG Corporate attorney) that saw the company revenues surge as we moved from solely products to solutions. I still deal with Datacard products everyday in my current job. Regards, Ian Williams
Tagging of Groundwire MinistryI recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Groundwire Ministry. I do not think that Groundwire Ministry fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because There is no rule against moving or copying a declined draft into the main article space. AfC is never mandatory. Please do not tag for speedy deletion unless a page clearly fits one of the specified criteria at WP:CSD. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead, if this was an article, or another process such as MfD or XfD as appropriate.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Entenmann's cupcakes.jpg![]() Thank you for uploading File:Entenmann's cupcakes.jpg.

reversionYou have just accused me of writing a comment to an Andrew Yang that you had to "revert". I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't care whether or not you want me to join yet another passworded venue, I won't. Please take my name and IP address off anything you have immediately. I have just donated to Wikipedia, and you've made me wish I hadn't. Check carefully and privately before you accuse. I would never do this to anyone! There have to be better ways to do this; e.g., take a comment off and that's it!

New Page Patrol December Newsletter![]() Hello Glane23,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
![]() ![]()
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Article on Balkundra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkundra)Hi Glane23, The correct name of the town/village is "Balkudra" not "Balkundra".

"https://www.indiapost.gov.in/vas/pages/findpincode.aspx" I was not able to correct the article heading as Balkudra. can you do that please. I see the same thing with other websites like weather.com etc doing so as they might be referring wikipedia. Could you please help.

Dear GeoffI just edited the article on "Honky Tonk". Not only do i NOT interpret your removing that changes as a "Personal Attack", :-) i honestly think i owe you an apology for NOT having any references. I actually began editing the article with the intention of refering ONLY to Wikipedia source. There used to be an article on the Gammon language in Wikipedia in which they clearly sourced the "Gammon" syllable inversion: Mac (Celtic for boy [of]/son [of]) becomes Cam Colleen (Celtic for girl) becomes Locheen, etc. etc. The fact is the reference has been moved to a SEPARATE wiki page of it's own and i should have checked that BEFORE i forced you to make the correction. Here is the correct reference from Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelta#Lexicon Celtic --> Shelta ============Colleen --> Lacheen (girl) Doors -- Rodas Mac --> Cam (boy[of] / son[of]) Pog --> Gop (Kiss)
becomes "Gop omi Taffy Pikey Hoinkty" I am not entirely comfortable making these changes without your approval. I really do think for consistency the reference actually TO wikipage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelta#Lexicon should be used, but i don't want to force you to take the time to remove it again if something is wrong. Thank You VERY much Peter
Reverting - and then returning - your edit to QUIC@Glane23: Hi. I reverted your edit to QUIC where you set the start date back to 2012... because in my brain I was thinking about the formal standard for the QUIC protocol that was only approved in 2021. However, in re-reading the article and the infobox, I see that your 2012 date makes sense as that was when the first experimentation with the protocol happened. So I reverted my reverting of your edit. 🙂 Anyway, I just wanted to let you know why there was that activity. - Dyork (talk) 01:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021![]() ![]() Hello Glane23, Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs. Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here. At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages. There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers. If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software. ![]() Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
