Need some help with the ZMAK page.Hi there I created a new page for the ZMAK wrestling promotion in Greece. I was away from 23/12-3/1 and I see it doesn't exist. Can I please have some feedback as to why so I can try and 'fix' some things? I see the reason as to "Unsourced newly founded wrestling promotion of no notability" but ZMAK is extremely popular at the moment in Greece, several international pro-wrestlers are asking to work for it and it is in major news websites for sports, lifestyle etc. eg Article from vice.com [1] or another credited site called mixanitoxronou. [2] Kind Regards Nikos — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikos.andreou (talk • contribs) 08:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC) References Shreepur, SarlahiThe reason I reverted to a redirect was that the original article is at the Shripur spelling (which is claimed to be the correct transliteration), but Spramodyadav is insisting on Shreepur. (He is also very insistently trying to get an article about himself, with no apparent sign of notability.) If the Shreepur spelling is correct, the original article should be moved back to that spelling. Otherwise, we've got a copy and paste move by Spramodyadav and the original work concealed in a redirect. I take no stand on which spelling is correct. Peridon (talk) 12:04, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
CommentI've having a hard time working up much enthusiasm for WP these days. Any thoughts on Devi Khajishvili? The page needs a reviewer and it seems more up your alley than mine. Papaursa (talk) 21:23, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
sorry
I am trying to work out why the version of firefox in my old imac seems to jump the window so often and I have almost given up making compensatory moves lest I do things exactly like that, and the proximity of the logout button on the top bar to contributions as it is configured is another issue... oh well, thanks for your understanding JarrahTree 13:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC) Thanks for the review and correctionHi. Thank you for fixing my categorizing into article space from two pages in my sandbox. I wasn't aware of the protocol for dealing with this and I appreciate the fix. I had also just tried a "move" of one of these sandbox pages which went awry. I think everything should be back to normal now. Kumboloi (talk) 18:01, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
New Page Review - newsletter No.2
Hello PRehse,
We now have 822 New Page Reviewers! The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Coordinator electionKudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required.

(a) this is not a page about a "club"; as it is clearly a "School" and a recognized School (P'ai) at that; Tested and Accepted by ICKF R. o. China 1985-1987. T'ien Ti Tao has been favourably featured in many British and American Martial arts magazines, newspaper articles and other media. It has been fully tested and accepted by a world-wide Chinese Arts regulator, the International Chinese Kuoshu Federation (Taiwan) through what was the British Kuoshu Promotion Association in UK, and accepted as "Genuine traditional Chinese Arts" by them. This makes both the school and the event unique to British based Chinese Arts schools as well as a notably Historic Event. These three factors alone make it a notably historic. This suggests that whomsoever is suggesting the page for deletion is not only ignorant of the facts, but that Wiki is contra to its "encyclopedic" claims of noting historic references! Wiki processes are seemingly too complex, too judgmental and often by not knowledgeable (not of the field) or perhaps even bias people. Noted with interest is a proposed deletion of a page on Master Wong, Ark Yuey. He was a remarkable historical figure in the Chinese Arts. Living in San Fran Cisco, he taught only Chinese at first. During the 1930's some American/s wanted to learn his Arts. They could not understand the Chinese terms, like Ch'uan-shu, so he translated learning as "Kung Fu"; to learn by hard work. This was the founding of the expression which is even now commonly used in Mainland China. Other areas where Wiki is contradictory are, for example, having a page on Mixed Martial Arts/MMA. There is no such thing as MMA, unless a practitioner has gained skills in more than one recognized Martial Art. To teach would require Teaching Qualifications in two or more known Martial Arts. But even then, s/he would be a practitioner of (e.g.) Shotokan Karate and Jiujutsu. Wiki in giving a page dedicated to MMA gives unqualified credence to unqualified people who claim to be MMA Teachers! Furthermore, many Wiki pages are based upon promotion, falsehoods and fiction. The whole concept seems to be randomly defined by its randomly self-appointed (?) editors and many facts overlooked by simple lack or depth of knowledge and experience, personal translation of Wiki Rules, etc. Loosing faith in Wiki! Speedy deletion declined: Mark GodbeerHello PRehse. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Mark Godbeer, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: An article that is almost half about 2015/16 events is unlikely to be "substantially identical to the deleted version" when the deletion was in 2014.

AfDHi, Would you mind taking a look at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jatomi_Fitness and giving your opinion? Thanks, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 01:49, 25 February 2017 (UTC) I've been tinkering with the article about O-sensei for a bit now, and am just about ready to nominate it for FA - I need to do a bunch of work on the sources (since all the Encyclopedia of Aikido ones are now 404 errors...), but it's getting into shape. I wondered whether I could ask you to cast an eye over it when you have a bit of time, since I'm getting to the point where I'm too close to the text to be able to read it objectively. If you fancy a spot of proof-reading, I'd greatly appreciate your suggestions and input. Yunshui 雲水 11:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Jose SalamancaHi PRhese, there seems to be a bit of a problem with that redirect, plus I found a variety of technical problems when reverting, I was prevented from it I do not know why. First I was reverted without an explanation and citing "Talk" in the edit summary, but nothing to be found there. I noticed that the disambiguation page José Salamanca I created had an José Eliseo Salamanca talk page, totally out of place, but I was reverted. I should also excuse for some problems when writing on the edit summary, since I can hardly see its content. May I say, it is not very appropriate to own the name of the article for a tennis player from El Salvador few people know, as compared to the other José Salamanca, critical figure in finances and politics in the 19th century Spain. Hence I created the disambiguation page. So now the talk page of José (disambiguation) is still problematic. Help is appreciated. Thanks Iñaki LL (talk) 19:10, 4 March 2017 (UTC) helloDear Peter: Many thanks for your kind gesture and welcome message.

SONY MUSIC UKHi There I hope you're well. I see you've recently reviewed my Sony Music UK page and that it is no longer live.

Would you be able to let me know why this page has not been approved so that I can try and try again?

Cătinaș was a finalist in K-1 twice, fighting in the Final 16 events. Kleibl was also a K-1 fighter. César Almeida, Cristian Spetcu and Marija Malenica are their champions, last two are actually first champions at some weight classes. Stauros Exakoustidis is that guy that defeated Spetcu, and is fighting now in China. Tarik Khbabez is the guy that won the Superkombat finals and defeated clearly Roman Kryklia. Mustapha Haida and Cedric Manhoef don't have pages but they are actually top 10 in their weight classes. Actually only Cedric still is, sixth in the world or so. Yousri Belgaroui will be top 10 in the world at some weight class soon, and made debut in GLORY. Setdany (talk) 15:04, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
CSD taggingIn the future, if you tag a page as WP:A10 for being a duplicate of another page, please look into the history to see if it has recently been converted from a redirect to that page, and restore that version if you can (e.g. [1]). Even if it wasn't previously a redirect, the very fact that the new page was created might mean that it's a valid search term and should be redirected to the page it duplicates.

Once again I defer to you and Yunshui when it comes to aikido. If you believe he's notable then you may want to remove the notability tag from that article. I also created a list of articles in my sandbox that met the criteria I just mentioned and that seemed of questionable notability to me when I took a quick look at them. I wouldn't mind your comments on them. Papaursa (talk) 22:59, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
Greetings and QuestionSorry to bother, but I have noticed you have done a great deal of editing on martial arts topics including one I have infested frequently. I have a question on the Importance/Notoriety of individual practitioners. Specifically, looking for a reference/avoiding work I wandered to the Shorin-ryu page. I noticed some grammar problems, but I also noticed a list of high-ranking practitioners. One of them does not seem to actually practice or practiced Shorin-ryu. He was also listed merely as "(Black Belt)." The others mainly seem to be "soke" of their own styles. I removed the first after some research and left a topic in the article's Talk page asking for references/correction. The others I did not remove but also invited references to their Shorin-ryu grades/standing. "Did I Do Good? What constitutes "important" in martial arts will generate a lot of flame certainly, particularly in a world where anyone can buy a "soke" and a "10 Degree Grand Master" from webpages! There are significant practitioners, however, but if they are not notable enough to merit their own linked page are they notable for Wiki? Take Chuck Norris. Whatever one thinks of him positive or negative he is known so including him as a notable figure in one of his martial arts pages certainly works. The problem I have is we can lists literal crap-tons [Citation needed.--Ed.] of practitioners in just the US who are maybe all Great and Wonderful People but outside of the realm of their school/organization really are not notable. Sorry for the Long-Winded question; just want to avoid mistakes in the future/sore posteriors: "HOW CAN YOU REMOVE GRAND-MASTER ED GRUBERMAN!!!! HE RECEIVE A BOOT TO THE HEAD FROM MASTER!!!!!!11" ^^, TheDoctorX (talk) 20:53, 4 April 2017 (UTC) TheDoctorX You did fine. Generally if the names are in text there is not much you can do but long lists of Notable people should have either their own page or a reference to a reliable source as per WP:LISTS. That's true in any type of article but something about martial arts seems to attract name cruft.Peter Rehse (talk) 07:45, 5 April 2017 (UTC) Thanks so much! I will leave it "as is" for now. If no one responds to the Talk question on the other people after a month or so, I will research each individual to see if he is actually connected to Shorin-ryu in some verifiable fashion.

I see that you reverted my edit of Ysbyty Cynfyn, which was a removal of the redirect to Ceredigion. There were several reasons I made that edit, including a move of the wrongly spelled page Yspyty-Cynfyn to Ysbyty Cynfyn.

Auraeus Solito is his primary name, Kanakan Balintagos is secondary
You reverted my changes and noted that a "correct move" is needed to reverse the redirect of Auraeus Solito to Kanakan Balintagos.
This past May, I tried to remove the redirect at Auraeus Solito, but received a notice that I lacked the authority to do so. I submitted a request to Wikipedia to do so, but received no response.
Mr. Solito contacted me this past weekend asking why this has not yet been done, so I thought and looked for a few hours about how to change it myself since Wikipedia would not cooperate. The Help section was entirely unhelpful. I was successful in figuring out how to redirect the redirect --- but you did not like it.

Notability Guidelines with Komal Rao
Hello, This is regarding the wiki page of Dr. Komal Rao. In India female MMA artists are very rare due to social taboo. Komal Rao represents a medical doctor who has chosen to enter the MMA arena. She also is a woman who has fought a male and defeated him at YBN in Germany. A notable achievement by Indian standards. She is a well known student of Richard Bustillo, original student of Bruce Lee and president of India chapter of JKD, governing authentic JKD in India. On social media she has 30000 Facebook fans and is a well known personality in the Indian marital arts circuit. I want to avail of your guidance on the subject, how to deal with the page issues on Wikipedia. Since there aren't many people here who are available with the expertise of the intricacies of Wikipedia editing, if you can help, it will be well appreciated. She is very popular in India, on social media and offline. There are many articles written about her and she is a very notable personality in her own right. So I don't understand the notability criterion requirements being expected of this article. Awaiting your guidance on this subject of how to deal with this issue and resolve it.

- PEllis A classic yes no answer. Theoretically they should not have been created according to strict definitions but since they are I could not get too worked up about it.

I accepted doing this article for no pay because I have been wanting to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia for a long time but never had an official opportunity to do so. I am very passionate about publishing and contributing to editing sources. As a previous DMOZ contributing editor, this is a passion for me to contribute and give freely of time toward volunteering. I would like to one day see if Volunteering as a Review Editor with Wikipedia could be an additional avenue to volunteer publishing. I realize that I have much to learn but I also realize the benefits to learning for this efforts, contributing aligns with my goals.
I'm not sure this is a COI issue but need assistance in what I should cite for this as I am not paid by Eric but rather a publishing entity volunteering.
Thank you for helping me understand and providing help to do better with my first article.

Biographies of filmmakers
Hello! Just a reminder that {{WikiProject Film}} does not cover biography articles, such as actors, directors and filmmakers. This applies to all of the film task forces as well, which means that the Australian cinema task force does not include articles about Australian actors, directors and filmmakers, and consequently should not have the |film=yes
parameter on the {{WikiProject Australia}} banner. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 14:51, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Articles under 1500 characters in prose are typically designated stubs, not start-class, based on length alone. This article is currently at "1089 characters (167 words)". I've already reverted the edit once—changing it again without discussion is just edit warring. Please revert your edit. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 13:43, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- CzarWell I based my assessment on Wikipedia:WikiProject assessment which does not give a character length for stubs or any other class. The article structure has clearly moved past stub class although it wasn't when first changed. Please change it back if you wish and if you can drop the tone I would welcome being pointed to where the 1500 character limit is discussed.PRehse (talk) 14:26, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tatiana Kuzmina, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Iranian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Stephen F. Teiser
Thanks for your quick work on Stephen F. Teiser, though I resurrected him from "living = no" to "living = yes", which I thought only appropriate for a scholar of religion.
But while I'm at it, since you are experienced with a range of articles, I thought I'd ask what the procedures and expectations are about when & how an article is "reviewed." Does being reviewed seem to make a difference other than removing the ugly template?
Is the "Start-class" related, that is, if it's not reviewed is it "start"? This seems to me to be more than "An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete. It might or might not cite adequate reliable sources." I wouldn't be insulted by a "B" class: "The article is mostly complete and without major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards."
The standard problem with academics is finding biographical sources. Their personal lives are not usually what makes them notable, so the emphasis is properly on their work. I could add more reviews, but I selected these to show the nature of Teiser's work but not the puffery.
In any case, cheers and apologies for intruding. ch (talk) 16:51, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- CWH Anyone can assess but when I do it I usually default to Start and go from there. The transition from Start to C usually hinges on the sources quality and quantity. I apologise for his premature death that was unintentional. I will encourage getting the article up through the grades but no need to rush. Give some time for others to add and clean and then see what can be done.PRehse (talk) 18:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks once again, this time for the quick work on Sino-Babylonianism -- you are a star for doing so much patrolling! (I think you probably meant to remove the "unreviewed" Template).
- But once again, I'd like to ask you to consider how discouraging it is to work on an article and have it assessed "Start" when that is clearly not appropriate.
- I appreciate that you are doing indispensible work that I am not doing, and that you don't have a lot of time, but it wouldn't take long to see the number of references and conclude that they are not "quite incomplete." You suggest that your policy is to "default to Start" (which I hope does not imply that you do not look at the article) to "give time for others to add a clean and then see what can be done." I wonder if anyone ever does.
- In any case, apologies once again, and thanks for your patience.ch (talk) 04:00, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello. In reference to your message regarding my alleged review of Russian people in Israel (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), FYI, I did no such thing.

blocking page
Dear PRehse,
I am wondering why you left a notability tag on this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_Tuinov
I am the one who created the page. Everything in there is factual and backed by a reference. I was told the last time to find reputable references, when they took his page off. Yes there are some references from smaller media, but thre are a lot of interviews and exposes from Channel 1 Russia, which is the largest channel in Russia and CIS. The channel is also broadcasts throughout Eastern Europe. There are also numerous references from other media sources from around the world. According to wikipedia that fight results and mentions can be used but more importanly are main stream media sources on him and those are provided. Wikipedia's policy also says a person is noteworthy based on if they had a stellar amateur career. If you look at his amateur career and professional career, at 19, it is more than stellar and media does cover him. I would like to resolve this, especially considering fighters like Massaro Glunder and Gokhan Saki have profiles and there are no problems with their pages and Gokhan Saki's references are all broken links. All my references are verifiable.
- DMR2017 As the edit summary says the subject does not meet notability guidelines specifically WP:NKICK and the references really don't override that. The tag just points that out and does not mean it will be deleted right away. I will look at the other pages maybe they should be tagged too.PRehse (talk) 15:16, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
- Butting in, I'm a huge fan of Vlad's and the wiki kb notability requirements are in dire need of a refresh. Still, Vlad at this point IMO wouldn't have the notability. Needs to be ranked or fight for more notable titles. Yeah references everywhere in wikipedia could be better but Glunder has fought for the K-1 title, has been ranked and I mean Saki is just easily wiki notable no matter how you look at it. No doubt Tuinov will be at some point too.ShadessKB (talk) 15:39, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
Appiano redlinks
In your recent edit to Appiani, you deleted two redlinked names. I considered it acceptable to include them because this sub-list is just a précis of Appiani family, which has the same redlinks; if someone adds the articles in response to the implied request, it will resolve both. I understand your reasons (as far as I can guess with no edit comment) but you have still left a dangling reference to Alessandro; see Isabella. How should that be fixed? David Brooks (talk) 23:32, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- DavidBrooks Disambiguation page entries should contain at least one blue link. The family article should take care of the family specific listing.PRehse (talk) 23:43, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Class ranking
Hey, First of all, thanks for taking the time to rate the articles. Secondly, as I created both Valérie Gauvin and Grace Geyoro, and I thought they're both on about the same level, I was wondering why you rated Gauvin a start-class and Geyoro a C-class (I'm not very familiar on how to choose ratings so I'd appreciate some general tips too). Cheers, --SuperJew (talk) 13:47, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- SuperJew Personally my main concern was to get the right projects listed and Start is sort of my default rating. Yeah both are definitely C class. The difference in my mind between Start and C usually revolves around the number and quality of the references.PRehse (talk) 13:58, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

When I try to move Nils Nilsson (ice hockey player) to Nils Nilsson (ice hockey), it says that that action is not permitted as the destination article already exists - which it does! as a redirect back to Nils Nilsson (ice hockey player).

Per the displayed text of the template, it is perfectly acceptable for me to remove it as I am not the original creator of the article by any measure. I am not a member of Delta Phi Lambda. (I'm actually a white male) And I've improved the article, so why shouldn't I remove a speedy.

Restore redirect
Would you mind explaining the "restore redirect" concept to me? What you did appears similar to an article deletion, except that the procedure for article deletion has been bypassed. Nom is a writing system while Sino-Vietnamese characters are of course characters. English alphabet is an article, not a redirect to standard written English or English orthography. Sino-Japanese characters are discussed in kanji while Sino-Korean characters are discussed in hanja. This is despite the fact that hanja is not a term in common English-language usage. I am planning to submit articles for Asian Month. If redirects are commonly considered to have priority over articles, that would be a hindrance. CrayFishBob (talk) 06:10, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Algorithmic bias category
Hi! Thanks for taking an interest in the Algorithmic bias article. I noticed you removed the discrimination tag from the category list. I'd like to add it back in, but wanted to understand why you removed it. To me, the article belongs in the list, since it is primarily concerned with discrimination resulting from flawed algorithmic processes. This seems very relevant to people who might be interested in discrimination topics. I'd like to tag it again if you don't mind - or if you disagree, please let me know what you think. Unrelated, also thanks for all the work on martial arts subjects! I also lived in Japan and have done a lot of work on shrines, temples, and Shinto. -- Owlsmcgee (talk) 06:04, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- Owlsmcgee More of a fly by clean-up so please add the tag back in if you think its best. However, I did feel that Algorithmic bias is not really intentional discrimination and is best categorized in the remaining sub-cats. Algorithmic bias certainly is something that occurs in a much broader context than discrimination.PRehse (talk) 09:57, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Dear PRehse,
Returning back to Vlad Tuinov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Vlad_Tuinov), he has now been ranked by two independent organizations.

Please explain reasoning for creating new article
Hi. Can you please explain the reasoning for creating a new article Weser-Rhine Germanic which copy-pastes material from an existing article Istvaeonic languages. What discussions have there been about this please, because there seems to be something strange going on. That article was under discussion and at the exact same time material has also been copy pasted to a previously deleted (therefore also effectively new article) Istvaeones.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 22:38, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Andrew Lancaster I really have no idea, it all seems to be boil down to AKAKIOSPRehse (talk) 22:51, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Did AKAKIOS request the edit? You did the edit so you must have a reason? By the way, Rhine-Weser seems to be the usual term the article is aiming for, not Weser-Rhine, and the Ingvaeones are not the same as the Istvaeones. In any case how can we sensibly be working on the same text in 3 places?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 23:04, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

- Sorry. I must have been looking at the wrong edit history, or looking wrongly. It seems, FYI, that AKAKIOS is now editing both the new articles instead of the old one. There is no serious proposal about why an article split is needed, but there is a seeming content disagreement (or a breakdown of discussion at least). So it kind of looks like a POV fork. Any help in getting a better discussion about normal article splitting or merging procedures would be welcome.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 23:47, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi PRehse, I'm not sure what your role is in all of this, but to keep it simple and factual: I've effectivly split the current Istvaeonic languages article into two separate articles, after I prevously edited the article, in which I partially combined two previous (and quality -wise unsufficient) existing articles. A choice which I now see as a mistake. It's clearly the way to go given that Istvaeonic languages currently includes two very different meanings. The talk page has become close to incomprehensible to me after Andrew Lancaster, who in all honesty does not seem to be particulary well read on the subject, got involved and turned what should and could be a fairly simple matter in a head ache.

- Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
Outreach and Invitations:
- If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with:
{{subst:NPR invite}}
. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.
New Year New Page Review Drive
- A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
- Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.
General project update:
- ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
- The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
- To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

RfC: location of Foxwoods Resort Casino (MOS:BOXING)
Greetings. There has been extensive discussion at Talk:WikiProject Boxing regarding the location of Foxwoods Resort Casino, and how it should be specified in MOS:BOXING. To form a consensus on this, your opinion as an active member of the Project is essential and highly welcome. The current discussion can be found here.

Karate technique stubs
Hey Pete, merry Christmas if you are so celebrating. I noticed you tagged the gyaku-zuki article that seems to have popped out of nowhere yesterday. Seems that user:Dwaynewest has started creating stubs for the Japanese names for some karate techniques. Bluntly put, I don't think these articles should exist. These are exactly the sort of "will never grow beyond a stub" items that list articles are meant for. (Not to mention the incorrect capitalization of the titles, which is just annoying.) Do you think we should just merge them back to karate techniques, which had been the redirect target of at least one article before yesterday? I don't want to be too bold, but frankly I just don't see the point of these articles. oknazevad (talk) 00:05, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oknazevad Season's greetings back at you. I saw those as I patrolled new martial arts articles and as usual did a quick clean up. I tend to agree that lots of sub-stubs are better served by a larger more developed article. I have been wrong to many times to count but Dwanyewest comes across as young and enthusiastic and more importantly open to suggestion. Let's see what he says.PRehse (talk) 12:41, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- I willing I to accept the Crane kick being merged to The Karate Kid if it is seen as too short of an article. I still believe two of the sources relating to crane kick are useful the one stating what Darryl Vidal created the move and the other how it became part of popular culture.
Gyaku-zuki and Uchi-Uke I am also willing to accept if it is seen as to short to be merged to karate techniques.
If Ushiro-Geri is not considered good enough then I will accept that being merged too among the other recent karate technique articles. I honestly didn't mean any harm I thought I was helping expand the knowledge of useful karate techniques.Dwanyewest (talk) 21:18, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Dwanyewest Neither myself or I think Oknazevad a calling harm just that for something thats expected to remain a stub than its best merged into a more substantial article. Same with judo and aikido by way of example.PRehse (talk) 21:35, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't think nay harm was intended, just that the readers might be better served by not having a bunch of short articles. These are prime candidates for pointing to a list article like karate techniques. The crane kick article should definitely point at the Karate Kid article, as it is part of that film, not a real world technique. oknazevad (talk) 21:50, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
Karate articles and may I ask a couple of questions?
As you will have seen over the years I have tried to add reputable sources to martial articles like Kime and other without sources. I just wish to ask if as I seen to be making missteps if Karate in the United States is notable or if making an article on the question mark kick aka Brazilian kick is worth making (I don't the name in Japanese) or if it should be added to karate techniques or Kick the same with Rolling thunder kick (I also don't know the name in Japanese).
The other question is more a personal question could you design for me a talk archive inbox or show me how to do it myself please. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:33, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Dwanyewest I hope I set up the archive box like you want. As for the other articles I think you are doing fine just that sometimes its better to flesh out larger articles than create lots of small ones. Karate in the United States could grow with other editor contributions. Individual technique articles maybe not. Kime certainly could.PRehse (talk) 23:23, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
Question
Hi, PRehse - hopefully you can advise - if an article TP has a Banner shell, and the article ends up being deleted, is that deletion discussion +result added or maybe transcluded to that TP banner? We just had a discussion at NPP (I believe) about such article history and for some reason, I thought the TP banner shell was the place to keep such info archived. Is that "wishful thinking?" Atsme📞📧 19:39, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Atsme I always assumed if the article page is deleted so too is the associated talk page. That makes sense to me but I also think that if the article is restored so to is the talk page.PRehse (talk) 16:32, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hmmm...maybe it's just when there's a redirect that it's kept...I'll ask at NPP. Thanks! Atsme📞📧 16:48, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

New Years new page backlog drive
Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!
We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!
The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
- The total number of reviews completed for the month.
- The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
