DYK for Zig Jackson

On 31 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Zig Jackson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Zig Jackson is the first contemporary Native American photographer to be represented in the collections of the Library of Congress? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zig Jackson. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Zig Jackson), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Lord Bolingbroke,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Guardian Force

Hello. I wasted many days of my life creating articles about video games just to see people attempt to get them deleted.

Guardian Force (video game) already has:

A full old magazine review about it
A review from Hardcore Gaming 101, maybe the most respected English-language retro gaming site
A review of the compilation by Nintendo Life, a current major gaming site

And since it's in a new compilation, any sensible human being is able to tell right away if they just Google its name, they are gonna find even more mentions of it in recent news articles and reviews.

Still, someone who's on Wikipedia just to destroy our hard work added a deletion template to it anyway.

Please watch this article and make sure they won't delete it. I won't waste my time creating any other articles due to these editors. I suspect they don't even click on the references I spent days searching for on Archive.org and other sites.

If you have the time, please watch all the other articles I've created too. Thank you. -- Beqwk (talk) 01:43, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Beqwk, it appears Guardian Force (video game) was never nominated for deletion; an editor just added a {{notability}} template to the article (which was subsequently removed). That template will not cause an article to be deleted—for a description of how that can happen see Wikipedia:Deletion policy. New page reviewers have a massive backlog of articles to work through, and they may not always search for sources as thoroughly as they should. It's never a bad idea to add extra sources to more clearly establish notability, and fleshing out the article with additional details rather than just leaving it as a three-sentence stub would help as well. I'm not going to watchlist every one of your video game stubs, but feel free to drop me a message if any of them do get nominated for deletion. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 06:12, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Praeterintention

Hi. I made the requested corrections. if that's not ok, can you tell me where? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Praeterintention regards. Joseph77237 (talk) 20:47, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Good morning. I have made the changes requested by various administrators. Is the form so simplified, enriched with clarifying examples, and shortened from the references to all the countries of the world, okay like this? On the content, however, there are no doubts: everything is 100% correct, I know the praeterintention very well (having done a university doctorate on it). Greetings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Praeterintention. Joseph77237 (talk) 11:33, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Joseph77237. While the draft has definitely seen some improvement, there are still some major issues that need to be addressed. First, the quality of writing is still poor. It is clearly written by a non-native English speaker, and the style of writing is not encyclopedic. It contains a lot of legal jargon, but the concepts being expressed are unclear to a layman such as myself. Remember that this is an encyclopedia for a general audience and not a legal textbook or academic article.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, I am concerned that the draft contains original research, specifically synthesis of different published sources. Many of the sources in the draft are about a specific country or legal system, but the draft makes many generalized claims about the concept of preterintention that aren't specific to a particular country. Ideally, I would like to see sources that compare the concept in different countries in order to create a good encyclopedic overview; otherwise, the draft may need to be heavily revised in order to avoid original research. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 03:58, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

good morning.

For: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Praeterintention

if the content is judged to be original research, then I give up: there is nothing original: the sources are indicated in the note; his fellow administrators ordered to delete all references to other countries and so I did...so I worked on it for days and they made me delete it and certainly I will not abstain from time to redo the research: I am not schizophrenic yet. as for the language: I have given examples in brackets that anyone can digest... therefore I abandon the entry: administrator B) orders to delete references to all countries in the world; administrator A) orders that comparative reference be made to all countries in the world; administrator C) judges the entry to be the result of original research ignoring the sources indicated in the note;... evidently those who ignore that a stone is a diamond will always judge it to be a rock. I abandon my entry and my contribution to Wikipedia: there are no clear rules and there is no universal principle of trust: if I work to satisfy the parameters dictated by administrator B), then administrator A) cannot come and tell me to undo my work because it is all wrong; the law is a serious thing: the user must be provided with exact information, not nonsense.
