Welcome!Welcome! Hello, Krakkos, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

(talk) 19:43, 8 September 2012 (UTC) move Celts (modern) to Celtic identityI am going to revert this edit. Such move requests are not done using this depreciated template. If you want to put in a request for a page move please read WP:RM and follow the guidance of how to place such a request on to the talk page of the article. -- PBS (talk) 21:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC) September 2012 Your recent editing history at Greeks shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 22:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Military history is more than a list of battles. It can include articles on military structure and organization, types of equipment, subcategories on military commanders and ranks, and so on. Compare Category:Military history of ancient Rome. I think you might want to ask for some input at WP:WikiProject Celts on some of the changes you're making singlehandedly. No offense, but you're making rather sweeping changing for someone with fewer than 300 edits. Cynwolfe (talk) 14:54, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vandal Kingdom (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. SpinningSpark 21:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC) Recent article moves: no rationale givenGreetings. I wanted to ask about your rationale for several recent moves to pages (namely Norse architecture and Norse art), as you left no reasoning for the page moves nor initiated any discussion for such a move, nor any evidence of the prior names. It is customary prior to making any move that could possibly be considered controversial to raise the issue via a template message so that others may discuss the move, and even in those cases, leaving a rationale for the move.

While I applaud your diligence, I'm very unclear as to what your aim is, and as a result I'm tempted to start reverting your changes. Using Edit Summaries would perhaps make it clearer to the other users watching the pages you are editing as to what you are trying to accomplish. Gabhala (talk) 22:10, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:24, 2 November 2013 (UTC) Regarding your recent edits on LatinsHey Krakkos. I just wanted to give you a notification that I have reverted your blanking and redirect of Latins. At this point in that article's existence, given the amount of edit history in Latins, doing an edit such as blanking the page would be considered highly controversial. I would advise first either nominating Latins for articles for deletion, or starting a proposal to merge Latins into Latins (Italic tribe). Also, in the future, please try to avoid converting any article to a redirect without consensus. Latins had redirects that pointed to it, but because of the edit you performed that resulted in Latins redirecting to Latin (disambiguation), a bot performed automated edits to fix these redirects, which were then double redirects, and had them all point towards Latin (disambiguation). In most cases, the work that these bots do to remove double redirects is very helpful, but not in this case due to the redirects they edited ended up pointing to the wrong target as a result of your edit.

SpinningSpark 23:42, 14 September 2013 (UTC)No opinion on the quality of this editor's edits but since when is "sweeping unexplained and undiscussed changes over numerous articles" a reason for a block? What happened to WP:BOLD? And for a freakin' week? This is some total bullshit here, unless I'm missing some AN/I discussion or something. (Given all that I wouldn't be surprised if this editor was a sock puppet or somethin'). Volunteer Marek 01:06, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
The sequence of events leading to this block are as follows. Krakkos made this edit without leaving an edit summary. I undid the edit for the reason explained in my edit summary. Krakkos then immediately reapplied the edit, again without leaving a summary or otherwise explaining. I then noticed that the user was making similar edits on an industrial scale, all without edit summary. I then noticed that the user had warnings (including a final warning) on their page for edit warring and for repeatedly making large scale controversial changes to categories. The new edits seemed to be an extension of the category edits. This editor does not communicate in any way with other editors and responds to warnings by merely carrying on. The editing environment is poisoned for other editors by such behavious, and since it was large scale and currently ongoing I blocked to protect the encyclopaedia as administrators are supposed to do. The purpose of this block is to force Krakkos to discuss with others before continuing. The situation I could see was similar to an out of control bot, it is pointless talking to an entity that won't talk back, block is the only option. The length of the block is irrelevant here, as with a bot block, the block can be lifted as soon as the problem is fixed. SpinningSpark 08:28, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
howdyHello Krakkos, you can call me 74. Over at the West Germanic tribes page, you redirected to another article, citing a source that the topics were not the same. I reverted your redirect, and added some sources. But it looks like today, you are also redirectly most of the Italic articles. This does not seem right to me. Do you not think wikipedia should have articles on historical topics? Notability is not temporary, right? 74.192.84.101 (talk) 18:19, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

I pointed out his rather obvious Tirgil34 connection. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:33, 15 February 2015 (UTC) The past few days have seen massive WP:Edit warring at the Wusun page. None of the parties have even attempted to discuss their differences at the talk page or to reach consensus. Edit warring is against Wikipedia policy and can result in the warring editors to be blocked from editing at Wikipedia. If you have a disagreement with another editor, you must NOT keep reverting each other. You must come to the talk page and work out your differences in a civil manner. Also, you must not accuse each other of sockpuppetry at the talk page, or in edit summaries. That amounts to a personal attack. Allegations of sockpuppetry may only be made at WP:SPI. I have locked (fully protected) the page for 24 hours. I have also reverted it to the last stable version before the edit warring began. The purpose of the full protection is twofold: to stop the edit warring, and to get the warring parties to come to the talk page with their differences. If edit warring resumes, I or other administrators will lock it again. --MelanieN (talk) 02:38, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I saw your ANI report, and I think it's well-written with good rationale. However, I can't write my opinion, because I didn't deal with that guy for several months. Because of that, I'm not familiar with his current activities and his sock puppeteer friend(s). Also, I reported him in the beginning of his edits and admins just blocked him for 24 hours. His edits are obviously disruptive (Andronovo culture is a good case, please see the revision history), and I don't know why admins ignore him easily. I can help you in the other ways if you're interested. You can give me a list of articles that you think they're targeted by disruptive actions. I'll watch them and I can submit relevant reports in the future. Please remember: You're the main editor who found these disruptive activities, so you should be an active user in Wikipedia to be able to solve this problem. In my experience, most POV-pushers won't stop their actions until admins either protect targeted articles or watch them. Your case needs admins' help/attention too, because we're regular editors and we're not able to deal with all of those problems, specially when WP:DUCK happens. So what do you think? Any solution? --Zyma (talk) 12:48, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

hallo!Dear Krakkos, unlike yourself I have no agendas, I only strive for the truth and objectivity. It was very lowly from you to mention me as a sockpuppet of somebody you do not like. I never heard of this person and have nothing to do with him. You are evidently pushing an agenda and consequently you attack as a sockpuppet anybody that holds different views from yours, and this is not in the spirit of Wikipedia.Aldrasto11 (talk) 05:01, 6 March 2015 (UTC) Tirgil34: His BasementI googled some IE/Central Asian/Turanist revisionists and pseudo-science topics and I find something that will interest you. This needs serious attention by admins. Tirgil34 is an active member of The Apricity Forum. His main user name/account is Kipchak Håkan (just like Wikipedia, he has multiple accounts on there too). He refers/links to his WP edits/revisions on forum's posts/threads. It looks like that he and his friends cooperate to attack Wikipedia from there, because their posts are similar to disruptive edits on targeted articles. I think that forum is a basement for him and his meta-puppets. You can easily find the connection between those Apricity's accounts and Tirgil34's activity on WP. It's more than just a regular sock puppetry and fringe POV-pushing. See his profile info and posts. That guys is a perfect anti-European troll and ultra Turkish nationalist with a Turanist mind. My point: It's important to tell admins about this issue. Also, is there anyway to add this to that Long-Term abuse? --Zyma (talk) 10:39, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
If my source is poorly sourced than so is yours !!!!Firstable, I admit "Spiritclaymore" was a sockpuppet of my account. It is now banned account because I was punished, I was also temporary banned from editing. Now I only have 1 account, so I'm given a second chance.

Proxy ips that are abused by Tirgil34
... These proxies are generally from US, Japan, etc and are statics just like many other proxies. As i told before, banning sock accounts alone doesn't work so much. He just create new ones.

Avars and Iranian peopleHi, I saw your recent positive edits on Pannonian Avars (and Avar Khaganate), and Iranian peoples. However, as am working on the Pannonian Avars article the inclusion of Altaic-Turkic or Indo-European tribes among Iranian peoples according linguistic influence (not ethnogenetic and cultural), which are also really minor scholar considerations, insufficient for such claims and inclusion (per WP:NPOV). Of all sources about Turkic peoples which found until now, personally consider the best (also as a criterion), with quite neutral and serious POV and research, the book by Peter Benjamin Golden An Introduction to the History of the Turkic Peoples: Ethnogenesis and State-formation in Medieval and Early Modern Eurasia and the Middle East (1992). In the section "European Avars" is clearly stated, besides their possible heterogeneity which was common in steppe nomadic confederation, the unambiguous anthropological and linguistic (personal names, military titles) evidence they were of Mongoloid or Altaic-Turkic origin, at least the ruling elite caste. In conclusion, there is some scholars debate about the Pannonian Avars heterogeneity, but generally is considered that at least the ruling elite, which we consider as Avars, was of Altaic-Turkic origin. Think that the previous revision of the Avar Khaganate introduction "It was a confederacy ruled by a group of medieval equestrian warrior nomads of Altaic-[4]Turkic[5][6] extraction known as Avars or Pseudo-Avars, and which included Slavs and other Pontic–Caspian steppe tribes." somewhat most accurate and neutral. --Crovata (talk) 12:29, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Suspicious editsThis user seems suspicious/her various edits on Bulgars and other various articles. He/she embodied Turkicness of various people and deleted lranian theories by labelling them as "politically motivated". But interestingligy, he/she added informations from well-known Turkish nationalists (e.g. Osman Karatay) that are " politically motivated". There is an inconsistency here. Also his targeted articles shows almost a perfect paralellity with Tirgil34's. Karatay was Tirgil34's favourite scholar(!) and plus, the user is also actively using Russian sources for his pro-Turkic edits-just like Tirgil34. And finally, a Crovatian who bothered the word "lranic" and favours instead "Turkic". Another Bjorn Lenes? OssetianRealm? or Pan-Turkist " German"? l am not sure but there is something "weird" here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.216.34.145 (talk) 23:54, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
OvercitationRegarding your recent edits in Wusun, please note the Wikipedia guidelines on citation per WP:OVERCITE. Too many cites in a single sentence makes an article hard to read, and the lede of the Wusun article falls into the extreme end of overcitation. There is really no need to give excessive number of cites when a few well-chosen ones would do, for example, by particularly noted scholars in the field, or from a noted publication. I understand that sometimes people demand sources for a particularly contentious viewpoint, in which case the cites can be bundled into a single one. Also, the lede is just a summary of the main text, and as such most the citations can go into the body of the main text rather than in the lede. Hzh (talk) 12:22, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Desperate vandal is still activeThis user is new sock of Tirgil34. This time, he represents himself as Kurdish (remember in the past he behave as if he was Hungarian, German, even Ossetian). Just like Mirliebeip and Kleropides, he try to de-lranification Kurds. Of course there are Kurds with the same agenda but these Kurdish nationalists never make such contributions: 1 2 Also he knows Turkish. Same manner, same talking style. See this. Additionally, he OUTLlNED his Kurdish identity in his user page. (Similar to Radosfrester, Tirgil34,...). Remember Mirliebeip also made the similar thing. Other socks:

Long-term Abuse: DetailsHi Krakkos. Let's discuss that issue on this section. I think it's not limited to two persons, and just caused by identity crisis. It's more than a simple case. They are very active on almost every historical sites/blogs, human biodiversity forums (anthro boards), and internet hate sites. Recently, I found these cases (not on WP): read the comments section, [47], this one is very important. On Wikipedia, their anti-Iranian, anti-Iranic and anti-Persian quest is not limited to specific Iranian ethnic groups, but it includes all of them. For example, Tirgil34 started several Pashtun-related threads on The Apricity (an example), and then targeted Pashtun-related articles on WP to create a pure Turkic origin for them. And it's not only limited to Iranian/Iranic topics. For example, Sumerians and Hungarian version of Turanism are also one of their quests. According to Tirgil34's posts, he created a 100% Turkic ethnogenesis for Indo-Iranians (Aryans) too. One of most ridiculous claims by him is his own version of Persian history and Central Asia. He and his friends denies almost all of Iranic/Indo-Iranian/IE elements of Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Extreme pro-Turkic and anti-Iranian/anti-Persian, anti-European and even anti-Semitic movement. To analyze their behavior, you should browse talk pages and their archives too. Sometimes work with registered accounts, other times just IPs and temporary accounts (limited accounts used to spam and manipulate talk pages, no constructive edits). --Zyma (talk) 09:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC) BaghaturSeems like this guy [48] really like you [49] [50] --HistoryofIran (talk) 05:21, 7 July 2015 (UTC) Anti-TurkismIt's clear to see that you hate Turks and you trying to add word "iran" in every single Turkish/Turkic related pages.

Moxica's supposed precolumbian asian expeditionsHi Krakkos, I was reading the page on Adrián de Moxica that you started, and was interested in the claim "In 1481-1483 and 1485-1488 he led Spanish expeditions in India and the Middle East. The purpose of these expeditions was to establish connections with Indian merchants the Ottoman Empire in order to secure the Spanish throne access to Asian luxury goods. Although Moxica wrote of his success in various letters to the Spanish King Ferdinand II of Aragon, the expeditions did not lead to any notable results." I'm a bit skeptical of this as I can't find any sources about it, and Irving Washington, who you cite, doesn't mention it. Is there a source for this?

To point to another type of edit I am seeing, there is now a "Norman warrior" category. Like with the word "tribe", "warrior" has certain connotations that are fairly clear and they don't to be appropriate here. For example if we look at the life of Gilbert fitz Roger fitz Reinfried, he is an Anglo-Norman administrator, most important for his legal work first, and later as a Baron. Yes, that touched upon military things, but....? I think we know basically nothing about William de Lancaster I in terms of whether it was very military or not. I am even a bit uncomfortable with categorizing William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke this way. (His military prowess was very similar to how we see a great professional athlete.) To me it is difficult to see any basis for this new category. Is it just any Anglo Norman mentioned in documents about military confrontations? (So this would make George W Bush a "warrior".)--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 20:47, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

More drastic category editsKrakkos, once again you have embarked on a massive undiscussed and unexplained rearrangement of categories. It is far from obvious that this is a good idea. It is an unfortunate weakness of the way WP is organized that this is possible for any editor to do without discussion. Ultimately the the only way to stop it is to topic ban the editor concerned from category edits. I'm not sure this wouldn't be a good idea in your case. Johnbod (talk) 23:36, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Finding a single source using the term "North Germanic mythology" isn't reason enough to add that phrase (in bold letters to boot) to the lead of the article, since WP:LEAD clearly states that the lead should be an introduction to the article, and a summary of the most important things in the article, and the term you added isn't used anywhere in the article. And adding the term plus the reference you found to the body of the article, which I assume will be your next step, is not an option, since it would be giving the term undue prominence, unless yoy can prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that it is widely used in reliable sources. So just stop. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 20:57, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
Do please stop this nonsense. As you will have discovered from your google searches, "North Germanic art" is a vanishingly rare term, and the rare uses generally refer to an earlier period than the Viking Age, such as the Migration Period. The use by Peter Clemoes clearly states it refers to finds in Kent some 300 years before the Viking period. It is also highly uncertain whether the makers or owners of these (probably Jutes) spoke West Germanic or North Germanic languages. Nor is Clemoes any sort of art historian. Your other source is translated from German, and refers to a find in modern Germany. Quite what is meant by "North Germanic" in this case is questionable, but in any case it is a dubious reference for usage in English. Johnbod (talk) 13:50, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
Your edit on ScandinaviansHello. Please read pages/articles, and make sure you understand what they say, before editing them.

All are good starts but please expand those articles with precise page numbers from the reference book that you have used, plus any other additional sources that may be found. While these figures all existed in history, it is important to remember that in Wikipedia, existence does not prove notability and more evidence of notability would help all of these articles.

NorsemenHi Krakkos. You do great work, and the article on North Germanic peoples is an interesting read regardless of the controversy. I would appreciate it if you stopped rewriting Norsemen. I know it needs work, and it is on my list of things to work on, but I just don't think the topic is compatible with your work. Every time you work on it becomes closer to being a copy of North Germanic peoples#Viking Age, and there is no need for an article like that. Not every article needs to be based on ethnolinguistics, which I understand to be your area of expertise. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 21:15, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
OeseliansHi, could you please study the sources on Oeselians and then discuss. There are no sources that say Oeselians were Norse. I have also not seen any sources which say Oeselians were "historical people" or of unknown ethnicity. There are on the other hand dozens (hundreds?) of sources which say Oeselians were "Estonian". Blomsterhagens (talk) 16:28, 1 October 2018 (UTC) Germanic peoples on ÖselHi, you said on the Norsemen talk page that Gustav Ränk claims there were germanic people living on Ösel. In his source he says "It is not impossible" that there might have been germanic tribes living on Ösel. How can you turn that around to "he claims"? Also, the Roman Iron Age ends at 400 AD. The Viking Age starts at 793 AD. How can you talk about the same time period? Why do you do this? You deleted all my sources on the Oeselians page without even commenting on them or saying which source you don't agree with, and now present a source that's 300 years in the wrong direction and doesn't say what you claim it says. Blomsterhagens (talk) 20:21, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

I was on the main page and noticed an error on the African Continental Free Trade Agreement. The 315 byte mobile edit one. I logged in to try and edit it only to see that my IP had been banned. This came as quite a shock to me as I haven’t edited the site in over a year! Anyway I looked through my notifications and while you did thank me for my expansion of Category:Iranian nomads you accused me of being a User:Tirgil34 sock puppet. What more, the case is closed and archived so I don’t think there’s much I can do to get rid of this accusation. I am quite offended by the comment not only because I am first and foremost not a sock puppet, but also because I feel like I fought off Turkish nationalism propaganda BS quite vigorously during my brief time editing Wikipedia articles. Just because I have interest in Central Asian history does not mean I’m a Turanist. Also if you look at where you accused me, one of the pieces of evidence was simply not done by me, and the other one I made an honest mistake and talk about it and admit fault to User:Wario-Man in the talk page.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yevhen Chernenko until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with some of the images you deleted (e.g. File:Uyghur Meshrep.jpg File:Karachay patriarchs in the 19th c.jpg File:Ladislaus (left) Cuman (right).jpg), the user did not create the image, he uploaded them. If you think there is something wrong with the images, then ask Wikimedia Commons to delete them (for example, the second one can be deleted for duplication) rather than deleting them from articles. Images allowed on Wikimedia Commons are free to be used in Wikipedia articles, and you need a good reason why they should be deleted. Hzh (talk) 10:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Ethnolinguistic groupHi Krakkos! Ok, you may have dug out one source which applies the term "ethnolinguistic group" in the sense "group of ethnolinguistic groups sharing linguistic ancestry". Neverless, this usage is incorrect (or to be less judgemental: sloppy) as it does not conform to the ethnological and linguistic textbook definition of the term. I'd be more convinced if you could provide a source that not simply employs "ethnolinguistic group" in the innovative sensu lato-manner, but which defines it accordingly. Adherence to common usage in terminology is quintessintial for a NPOV. – Austronesier (talk) 11:44, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Germanic PeoplesHey, I've been noticing a lot of the same issues on every article related to Germanic peoples, specifically the English, as well as your involvement in the same usual debates. Have you managed to make any progress convincing this rabid core of editors who are fervently trying to censor the concept (or I suppose I should say the reality) of a Germanic ethnolinguistic group? I honestly cannot understand this at all. Every single other ethnolinguistic group has no problems with this or with articles about the modern ethnolinguistic groups existing. And every single ethnic group out there is listed as belonging to Slavic or Romance ethnic groups. This is beyond a joke, surely there is something we can do about this? The concept that a Germanic peoples don't exist today is preposterous. It's not about self identity, speakers of Germanic languages clearly exist today, they're very numerous and as speakers of Germanic languages they're CLEARLY the living relics of the Germanic peoples of antiquity, continuing an unbroken chain of continuous Germanic language speaking for millennia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.104.155 (talk) 14:59, 12 October 2019 (UTC) ArbCom 2019 election voter message

I have noticed several times today that you've been rapidly tagging and untagging your own requests, tagging requests that don't apply and you've failed to notify any of the creators of your request. See below:
And this is just in the last few hours. Additionally G4 only applies when the article is the same as one deleted through AFD, not just one that has been deleted before as you tagged at Amy Pence-Brown. Praxidicae (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
P45 DayKrakkos, thanks for the prompt review on new page P45 day. I should be making further edits to this page as there's a few refinements to be made. Yes, people do get so drunk they don;t know what they're doing on Black Eye Friday such that they lay themselves open to disciplinary action when they return to work in the New Year!!!Mackem Beefy (talk) 15:25, 20 December 2019 (UTC) Mitch Chilson - speedy declineHi Krakkos, I'm just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion nomination of Mitch Chilson because the current version is substantially different than the version which was deleted 5+ years ago. If you feel the topic is not notable, AfD is the way to go with this one. All the best, 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:34, 20 December 2019 (UTC) 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. 16:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC) I have unreviewed a page you curatedHi, I'm Atlantic306.

Thanks for your comments and submitted reports. Seriously why his accounts are still open on Wiktionary? It's really odd that Wiktionary editors are aware of his LTA and SPI case, but at the same time they're OK with him. They even know that he has multiple sockpuppets on their project but they still tolerate his disruptive edits and they interpret his personal attacks as normal stuff. I will never ever post something on that lawless project again. --Wario-Man (talk) 17:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Germanic peoplesJust so you know, I am in general support of your ideas about the Germanic peoples page. Not sure what's going on with a certain editor, but that person is making sweeping, if not utterly erroneous claims and observations that are unfounded and nonsensical. The article is well-written and thoroughly researched with a majority of the scholarship drawn from leading experts—something I would know very well (I'll leave it at that). Keep up the good fight. --Obenritter (talk) 02:49, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
@Obenritter: I think the new round of editing shows some of the same tendencies which I was trying to explain. I wish I'd had more time to explain, but it is a busy season. I think we over-simplfy things and weight them strangely. Although indeed some parts feel very bloated (red hair, Y haplogroups, Germanic languages, Afrikaners) ideas like shortening and splitting the article can make this worse, not better. But better to talk on the article talk page?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:38, 23 December 2019 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for December 25An automated process has detected that you recently added links to disambiguation pages.

Dutch philosophyHi, Krakkos. You categorized Dutch philosophy as Germanic philosophy and while I'm not sure whether you meant to do so from perhaps a philological or linguistic perspective or from a Hegelian point of view, as a Dutch scholar in Dutch philosophy I cannot agree with it. Wikipedia is, first, not a Hegelian encyclopedia and, second, it is in no other sense established that Dutch philosophy has to be or even could be considered 'Germanic' (in whatever sense). So I will have to undo your edits and I request you come with decent sources that do establish such a categorization, but I don't think such sources exist. Have a nice day, Eissink (talk) 16:58, 25 December 2019 (UTC).

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Feasting, A Chieftain's Great Hall.jpg Thank you for uploading File:Feasting, A Chieftain's Great Hall.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Also:

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 10:40, 6 January 2020 (UTC) January 2020 Your recent editing history at Germanic peoples shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please stop working on the new Germani article until you have justified itKrakkos, please show some good faith cooperative behavior and stop creating this POVfork while we get a plan agreed. The original article still exists, and the discussions on its talk page show that you are knowingly working in a disruptive way by having deleted chunks of it as an excuse to create this article. We still have no agreed definition of what the distinct topics are for the two articles in the future and you know we need that, because you know that has been a controversy and source of these problems. Please make an effort to break the cycle and to get a proper rationale on record. Otherwise it looks like you are trying to trick everyone. See WP:POVFORK.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:49, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
please edit articles only in a way which respects EXISTING titles, structures, etcKrakkos, including a section about Germanic languages in the Ethnonyms sections, or already treating the Germanic peoples are sometimes in your edits (including wikilinks in other articles), etc etc, is not on. Stop it please. If you want to change sections, titles, etc then certainly in the case of Germanic peoples you are being called upon very clearly to explain your ideas first, so you need to do that. It is more generally necessary for practical common sense reasons that we all work in the same direction, of course. That is very hard if you work against everyone on purpose and REFUSE to nominate a plan despite making massively disruptive changes that you know to be controversial and in conflict with WP policy.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 12:19, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Germanic peoples discussion
Comparing to CeltsJust for notes. I think
I think the imperfect overlap issue is a critical one for Germanic peoples, that Krakkos should address before taking more actions? Historically, many editors of Germanic peoples have wanted to treat the two highly overlapping concepts in one article. If we want to convince them a split can work then the onus is on the person demanding the split to convince everyone of how it can avoid overlap.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 08:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC) See this for the lulzThis guy is so predictable; zero creativity.[384] --Wario-Man (talk) 07:44, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Which debate? Let me know if you are prepared for a more constructive discussion.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 16:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
I am happy to keep tweaking my approach, or even changing it completely, but I think I've never been against including Germanic speaking peoples. I have tried to explain over and over that this is a misunderstanding, and I have shown that by looking at the examples you've pointed to that all/most such cases involve insertions of materials into the wrong places in articles, nearly always duplicated materials. Such impulsive, secretive, unorganized and uncooperative editing makes it difficult to avoid giving a wrong impression. In my frank opinion your editing style on its own explains nearly all WP's difficulties on these articles, continually ripping open the wounds we need to patch up.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 11:22, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
RFC on Germanic peoplesKrakkos you've started more RFCs suddenly and this is a really bad idea, as was the last one. None of them are designed to bring clarity about the issues currently needing clarity. Furthermore, I specifically asked you, as per WP norms in a situation like this, NOT to impulsively make new RFCs without prior discussion about what is being asked. And in the Germanic peoples case, you know very well that I have proposed to show using a draft how the old idea of combining linguistic and other ways of defining them into one more stable form. You've surely seen how much positive feedback there has been to this, and you've reacted to it yourself. Your new RFC, in contrast, assumes that the article needs to be split and that these "two" subjects must be split. You were asked several times to explain WHY you demand a split, given all the different attempts you have made over a long period, with various different explanations. It was therefore clearly made to disrupt the most promising efforts being made, and also to continue to distract from questions about what your real reason is.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 12:56, 25 January 2020 (UTC) Please stop doing article moves, merges and splits without prediscussionHerules also happens to be a page with active talk page discussion and disagreements, involving you, now disconnected suddenly by you. Why would you do that? Especially in the context of so many complaints about exactly this type of significant edit being done without prediscussion.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 19:10, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
Massive edits about a topic you know to be the topic of open disagreements is a bad idea, and so is massing of footnotes into leadsKrakkos, I know both of the above things have been said to you many times, not only by me. Not every edit in the sweep of Germanic articles you are now doing was the same but clearly the effort was being known quite consciously in connection with open discussions. You've also been asked before, most recently on Germania (not counting reactions to today's edits) not to overload leads with footnotes. It is especially bad to do this as part of any type of strategy connected to a disagreement on another article.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:30, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
That is also how I understand the norms of working on leads in WP. A similar remark was made to Krakkos a few days ago by @Sirfurboy: on Germania.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 19:36, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

p.113 note 7 of Goffart: he seems time people called Goths Germani was in Spain, when Franks noticed the similarity of languages? Also notes that Paul the Deacon called Franks Gothic? These ideas don't seem to have spread very far yet, but show the difficulty of saying there are only two ways to define Germanic and non Germanic.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 16:45, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
The most interesting thing I just learned is that Goffart believes the Gothic language was in use in Hispania/Gallia in the 8th century. I wish he had provided a citation for "when the eighth-century Franks ... discovered the similarity of their respective languages". I am unaware of any positive evidence of the Gothic language in the Iberian peninsula (beyond personal names), although it is probably safe to assume that the Gothic liturgy was in use while Arianism was still the official religion. Not sure in any case why it took until the 8th century when they'd been living side by side since the 5th. Intriguing. Srnec (talk) 00:21, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Peter HeatherOn the Vienna School of History article I see reference to Heather supposedly criticizing Halsall for being biased because of money he got from the European Science Foundation?

Secondly though I do not have access to the 2018 article being cited, but when I went searching I find Peter Heather thanking this same European Science Foundation for his own participation, and numerous references to such a friendly connection.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020Hello Krakkos,
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.

Marcocapelle (talk) 11:24, 4 April 2020 (UTC) Your GA nomination of E. A. ThompsonHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article E. A. Thompson you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. Possible Tirgil34 sock (Hunan201p)Hello Krakkos, I found a possible Tirgril34 sock Hunan201p on the Genghis Khan page and many other related articles which push Tirgil34 like claims. They completely misquoted the Rashid al-din reference and claim that blue eyes and red hair was common in Turkic and Mongolian peoples. This is identical to Tirgil34 l. They also edit many similar topics including Karasuk culture. Here is the real reference and quote of Rashid al-din: “It so happened that two months prior to Mögä’s [the son of Kublai’s nurse] birth, Qubilai Qa’an [Kublai Khan] was born, and when Genghis Khan’s gaze fell upon him he said, “Our [Chinggis Khan’s] sons are all of a ruddy complexion, but this boy [Kublai] is swarthy, just like his maternal uncles. Tell Sorqaghtani Beki [Kublai’s mother] to give him to a good nurse to be brought up by.”” -Rashid al-Din/Thackston translation, 415. “It chanced that he was born 2 months before Möge, and when Chingiz-Khan’s eye fell upon him he said: “all our children are of a ruddy complexion, but this child is swarthy like his maternal uncles. Tell Sorqoqtani Beki to give him to a good nurse to be reared.”” -Rashid al-Din/Boyle translation, 241. Here the link to the reference:https://archive.org/details/Boyle1971RashidAlDin/page/n245 Ruddy skin means reddish skin not hair. And nowhere are blue eyes mentioned. Can you please correct this misinterpretation and take care of the suspected sock? Thank you.38.121.43.37 (talk) 12:56, 8 April 2020 (UTC) Your GA nomination of E. A. ThompsonThe article E. A.

Women in RedHi there, Krakkos, and welcome to Women in Red. With your wide experience of biography, history and archaeology, I'm sure you'll be able to make excellent contributions to our project. Our various redlists may help you to select historians and archaeologists deserving attention. Although you are obviously well aware of many of the points it covers, you may find it helpful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:04, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020Hello Krakkos,
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.

Hi Krakkos! I have stumbled across this discussion because you have done a couple of reverts of edits in Armenian-related pages made by the blocked sock-IP. That's fine, because the original edits were terribly POV and based on misrepresentation of the sources, but in one page (Proto-Armenian), Puduḫepa and I already have vetted the text (btw unaware that the text originates from a blocked IP, because of the rather wild back-and-forth edits in the page) and made the necessary fixes. I'll see what can be done with the information about the reception of Graeco-Armenian based on a correct reading of the sources (admittedly mostly high-quality sources). But that's not why I'm here. I find your discussion with Wario-Man very interesting, since I have become quite familiar with the LTA of WorldCreaterFighter because of the path of chaos/disruption which this sockmaster had left in pages about Asian language families. Socks regularly pop up in pages on my watchlist, and I handle them per SPI or emails to Berean Hunter. Don't know much about Tirgil34, though. Strangely enough, in German WP they're treated as a single sockmaster. My 2 cents about the editors your taking about here:

New Page Patrol December NewsletterHello Krakkos,
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.

RfCs on ethnicity and nationalityWhy have you created lots of RfCs (I count 21 in all), all on seperate pages, for what appears to be the same issue? They all seem to follow on from Talk:Germans#Rfc for due weight regarding the ethnic vs. nationality meaning of "Germans", and this itself seems to be follow-on from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups#"Germans", "French people" etc - ethnicity vs nationality. Having all of these discussions simultaneously is very much against WP:FORUMSHOP. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Another sockpuppet of LTA User:Tirgil34? Or a meat puppet?There's this User:Della5tttt (contribs) put this unsourced not-so-veiled Pan-Turkic edit " and historians believe that his breed was Akhal Teke, still in existence today." into the article Bucephalus. Clearly WP:FRINGE. Whenever convenient can you & other editors kindly investigate this? Also, recently there have been one (or more?) quite likely Pan-Turkic nationalist(s?) pushing extraordinary claims about the Akhal-Teke horsebreed. This poorly sourced commons:File:Cult_of_Heavenly_horse_bronze_horse_ancient_finial_Bucephalus_Ancient_Akhal_Teke.jpg, is just a reuploaded version of OrdosAncientCeremonialBronzeFinialWithStandingHorse.png, already successfully deleted after being nominated for deletion by Kanguole; however, it has been used in these articles History of Turkmenistan, Turkmen tribes, Teke (Turkmen tribe), Animal worship and Portal:Turkmenistan. I once removed the image, it was restored, removed again by the bot CommonsDelinker & then re-added (see the Turkmen tribes's edit history). Knowing that my further attempts to remove it will be futile & can get me banned for participating in an edit war, I just annotated the image to indicate that it was merely claimed, NOT confirmed beyond reasonable doubt to represent a Dayuan/Heavenly/Ferghana horse (whose realistic depictions by Chinese look very differently from the horse in the image). And, finally, there's this laughably absurd Pan-Turkic claim in the Âu Lạc's talkpage: "Tay Au /tày are not ethnic Kinh (Vietnamese): Tay Au were nomadic Tai/Krai and Turkic combined. They are not ethnic Lạc Việt." Good thing it did not make it into the main article. PanTurks' M.O.: Everything and everyone is Turkic. /s Erminwin (talk) 02:44, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021 Hello Krakkos, 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. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Exposing Hunan201p as LTA Tirgil34 (or a gang member of his racialist Pan-Turkist grouping)Hello @Krakkos:, @Erminwin:, @Qiushufang:, @Whhu22:, @Drmies:. I have now strong and specific evidence that Hunan201p[1] is lying about his real identity and probably related to the LTA user Tirgil34, who is well known for pushing these strange racialist arguments about early Turks being blonde, blue eyed, and with "Caucasian" features. You can see a summary about Tirgil34 here:[2] Next to Wikipedia, he is also active on YouTube and Quora. He probably has many followers, associated with Pan-Turkist agendas. Next to Hunan201p's many similar edits on pages such claiming Ghenghis Khan was blonde/red haired and blue eyed, or other edits on blonde hair[3], various Eurasian Steppe peoples, tribes and cultures, he made a serve hasty mistake! Look at this edit, especially the last paragraph:[4]. How many American people (English speakers) do you know who use the letter "ü"? English keyboards do not even have the letter ü! It is very suspicious that he suddenly speaks about "Türkic people" and "Türks". But we all know who is doing that. Tirgil34 and his Pan-Turkist gang. This is no coincidence! Even his edits were massively misleading, removing several citations and implementing that early Turks were largely West-Eurasian. Than calling it "mistakenly deleted, after another user mentioned his deletion on the talk page. Tirgil34 and his socks frequently used the terms "Türkic" instead of the correct English Turkic. Such a serious mistake, especially a user who claims to be American, does not happen accidently. English does not have a letter ü. Turkish or German have it as example. Here is what Hunan201p claimed, including his serve mistake using the letter ü, exposing him once and for all:
I suspect there are more Tirgil34 gang members here, as example for other suspicious accounts see:[5] and [6] Not sure if one person, probably not, as Tirgil34 is actively recruiting them on YouTube, Quora and other forums, even creating his own page, which is all mentioned at the LTA page. Recently I reported a suspicious user on Quora to the moderation team and informed them about the Tirgil34 case in Wikipedia. They checked and shortly after banned the account.[7]. Here one of his propaganda artworks and webpages he is promoting there:[8] So I am not thinking we should be passive in this case! You may search some more evidence and check out the LTA page and make some comparisons. Cheers! - 2001:4BC9:920:23F2:1507:7018:6FAD:FDCD (talk) 10:13, 18 March 2022 (UTC) References

Talk! 19:41, 20 May 2022 (UTC) New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022 Hello Krakkos, At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue. Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant. In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 822 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 847 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP. This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear. If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing 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 and its software. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

The article currently has no images at all ☹️ Tewdar 18:52, 17 June 2022 (UTC) New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022 Hello Krakkos,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[b] at the end of May. Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[c] In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month). While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 12307 articles, as of 06:00, 17 January 2025 (UTC), according to DatBot There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

--Lajmmoore (talk) 10:59, 29 July 2022 (UTC) via MassMessaging New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022 Hello Krakkos,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details. Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 9 September 2023 (UTC) New pages patrol newsletterHello Krakkos,  Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews! October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here. PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon. Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD. Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge. Reminders:

--Lajmmoore (talk 19:42, 30 March 2024 (UTC) via MassMessaging New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024Hello Krakkos,  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:
