New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021  Hello NonsensicalSystem, 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.

The Bengalis worked as Soldiers, Labourers, Revenue administrators, agricultural labourers etc. The Bengali Brahmins who performaned the marriage ceremony between Prince Lakshminarayan Chandra Hasnu and Princess Kanchani ( daughter of Bhim Singha, the last Koch Rajbongshi king of Khaspur) we're given land grants by Maharaja Harishchandra Narayan Hasnu of the Dimasa Kachari kingdom.

The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar system; and it is the origin of this specific festival. The non-bias term for the day should refer to spring festival. 110.174.147.237 (talk) 10:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC) Administrators' newsletter – February 2022News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2022).
Help Me A page has been edited which relates to the organisation I work for but which contains untrue and inappropriate information.I have little to know knowledge of how Wikipedia works. I attempted to edit the page back to something more neutral but the edit ewas rejected. Please advise how I can correct the page to avoid further damage to the origanisation I work for. LMISU (talk) 14:33, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you - I hope I am finding the right way to reply to you - this is all very new for me. I will try to work out how to cite. I did note the origional entry, edited in Jan 22, cites very out of date material or the authors own privately publsihed works only. I presume if I cite external monderated and independent sources that would be acceptable? The ISU does not want to advertise or proseletyse through Wiki. Only to remove damaging and untrue content. I will try again - I appreciate the assistance and sorry for being so techno-daft!LMISU (talk) 09:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
Are you able to advise how I can deal with assertions that are simply not true? It is difficult to find a positive reference to something that is untrue. For example the ISU has never applied for memerbship of the TUC. The author says that it did in a book he has written; but this is inaccurate and I can't find a reference to suggest that the ISU did not becuase this simply did not happen. It is true that we were advised any such application would likely be refused; but no application was made. Can I say that without evdeince? This happened in 1985 - long before the internet! I think I have managed this - the source cited was apparently "deprecated" so I have removed it. Hopefully this is OK now?

Thank you. Can I get to that in slow time or do I have to do that before the page is updated?LMISU (talk) 11:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

okidk how to do citations... i really don't think i was doing anything wrong there, considering that's largely the opinion of most people who know about the chicago blackhawks story involving him so — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.181.226.151 (talk) 18:58, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Regarding the page Jamshed Burjor PardiwalaI have made this page on 5 May 2022. But you have deleted it for 3 times. I have tried to publish it for 3 times but you had deleted the page. The page was very important to be published because the person JB PARDIWALA is a Judge of Gujarat High Court and recently he was recommended for appointment as Judge of Supreme Court of India. I have added the details of my knowledge, I have not copied any thing from any website. Its a request to you to please do not delete the page as it is the page of an important person who may be appointed as Judge of Supreme Court of India. Ankit8968Soni (talk) 13:38, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – May 2022News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2022).
New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022 Hello NonsensicalSystem, 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. May 25th 2022Hi I just want to put that edit there because I want to screenshot it after I log out of my Wikipedia account and then read the Guillotine page with those edits and then I will log back in and delete those edits, I promise.

Administrators' newsletter – June 2022News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2022).
New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022 Hello NonsensicalSystem,
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[a] 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.[b] 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: 12249 articles, as of 08:00, 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.
