--Rosiestep (talk) 22:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC) via MassMessaging Disambiguation link notification for October 31Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hispanic–Latino naming dispute, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vox (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

New Page Review newsletter November 2019Hello Paul2520, This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 822 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

The Problem is, there is not really Citation for this. I just compared the Sources of the Cases 'Kira' and 'Nina Surgutskaya' and they look very similar, as both Reports are from the same Day, both Cases happened in Kursk, the described Murder is exactly identical and the Culprit is named Mikhail for both too (only the second one gives his Surname though). So I thought it would be redundant to have both as separate Cases. I didn't want to go as far as completely removing one of them, so I just included a Remark about this, to point out the high Probability that it is one and the same Case. But maybe you have a better Idea how to do that? --Glimmer-Vigdís (talk) 10:16, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Möller is a military historian and wrote many books about the end of the war in Germany, especially about the liberation by the American army. Möller has also researched Raymond J. Bowmann. I would be glad if you could bring the German article about Jürgen Möller on the English side. I wrote the article in German and met Jürgen Möller personally with Lehman Riggs in Leipzig at the Capa-Haus. I am looking forward to your answer. --Caisare (talk) 20:53, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Rick and MortyHello. You recently performed an edit to the Rick and Morty article, in which you added a "missing" Notes list. Perhaps I'm missing something, but there are no notes listed at this time. There already exists a populated reference list. I see that the {{notelist}} template has been added which would automatically populate the list... provided someone adds notes within the article body. I'm not here to interfere with the edit, I'm just making an observation.

DYK for Well-StrungOn 1 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Well-Strung, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that string quartet Well-Strung has performed "Chelsea's Mom", a reimagining of "Stacy's Mom", for Hillary Clinton?

He contacted me yesterday about cleaning up the page so I did, making subsections editing and, akimg it more formal. I saw you were the last editor so I wanted to contact you so we could maybe work together on this? Another wikipedian told me his page is being denied due to lack of notability which I think is very much up for dispute considering he not only has a lot of articles and news pieces to his name but is even listed on the 1st District 2020 Congressional Elections own wikipedia page. So that's just strange to me... Any thoughts on what to do on that? Best wishes - Emmaneul Pacings Emmanuel Pacings (talk) 23:10, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you messageAh thank you! I appreciate you for making contact with me! Also since I never did say thank you for the warm welcome you left on my talk page let me say it now. Thank you! I love this website and hope to contribute to it in as many ways as I possibly can. Oh I had no idea about those. Thank you for the information, I will surely look into it and I really do appreciate the help. I've edited before but I am really knew to being a user and contributing more than just some minor things Again thank you for the information I will work on disputing this issue and keep you updated! Best wishes - Emmanuel Pacings Emmanuel Pacings (talk) 23:40, 10 December 2019 (UTC) Hey Paul just wanted to give you an updateThe reviewer didn't respond after I messaged him so I just decided to resubmit the article for review.

Best Wishes - Emmanuel Pacings — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmanuel Pacings (talk • contribs) 13:38, 12 December 2019 (UTC) David GokhshteinHey Paul sorry to ask of this of you. You don't need to help if you don't want to, you've already been such a big help already so if you wanna wash your hands with me and this David article go right ahead I won't blame you. But apparently the article is still being denied due to lack of notability. There's also the fact that I didn't disclose that he paid me. As since he wasn't hiring but more did it as a thank you I didn't know if I was technically an employee. That's easily fixable. Howeber they said the sources in the article aren't adequate? I assumed they were considering they come from Forbes, Business Insider, and other notable companies as well? Can you I don't know help me out by maybe clarifying if I am right in my thinking here? Also I appreciate you editing my Zombicorns article. Best Wishes - Emmanuel Pacings Emmanuel Pacings (talk) 20:03, 12 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. Delivered by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) at 16:11, 20 December 2019 (UTC) Problem with the Portuguese People articleI have made an edition changing the words of a phrase and adapting them to the source that it has attached (Because the previous phrase differed from the source), in addition, I added two more sources of a scientific nature. The user Melroross is systematically erasing the scientific sources even though they are reliable, and the words of my edition are literally the express meaning of those scientific sources.

The users are almost invariably from unsigned or VandalismUser temporary profiles based in Brazil or Spain or from Spanish/Hispanic users who, for different reasons have manifest anti-Portuguese sentiments. The most recent is this series of IP addresses I suspect by the same user who has an obsession with the racial contribution of Jews and Arabs being supposedly higher in Portugal than in Spain and also the Portuguese contributions in the New World discoveries. I’ve suggested making this page protected or semi-protected as it is highly counterproductive and tedious, having to deal with malicious and vandal edits. Can you help with this? What is the procedure for a semi-protection to be put in place? Many thanksMelroross (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2019 (UTC) Suspect Vandalism user: IP address 46.222.138.139 IP address 84.78.247.241 now also created user User:NormanGear same unique purpose: Vandaluser. Melroross (talk) 14:58, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
A permanent semi-protection as I see it from following this for a while, is the only way to keep this page protected from vandalism/malicious manipulation from users like the one reported above. For years I have been editing on and off until in the past few months I noticed something “intriguing”: Each time there was a “edit conflict” it was invariably caused by either Brazilians or Spaniards, or either of the two located elsewhere in the world but with ties to either or. Being partly Portuguese and having studied Humanities and Linguistics at the oldest and most prestigious Lusophone university, Coimbra, I am very confident in the History, Culture and Language of Portugal. I know only too well about the historical resentments from some Brazilians who blame the Portuguese for all which is wrong with Brazil today and some Spaniards who cannot comprehend why Portugal came to be and for over 900 years repudiated their many attempts to impose a united Iberia. I believe that the current independent movements in Catalonia may make more Spaniards feel that Galicia where they basically speak “old Portuguese” despite many centuries of “Hispanisation” where even surnames, names of towns and the language itself were suppressed and replaced as late as 1974, may also want independence or worse, join the Lusophone league of countries. The Spanish issue is deeper as historically the Portuguese sided with the English and in fact were the inspiration for NATO for instance. The English humiliated Spain and spread a racial rumour of “beyond France it’s all Africa” which was an insult aimed at the Spanish and their long, deep-rooted Moorish influence. The Portuguese expelled their Moors almost 3 centuries earlier and in terms of Islamic legacy or importance, this was much smaller in Portugal. Portuguese and Galician are mainly Iberian-Celtic, the two language variations are Romance and stem from the medieval Galician-Portuguese which has little Arabic influence and more relevant Celtic components. The official Spanish language, Castilian has 8% of Arabic in their inventory and the Islamic heritage is also quite prevalent in architecture, cuisine, music etc. The Spanish have endured the “Hispanic” stigmatisation from America for many decades too. It is something many find hurtful and I know that a lot of Spaniards try now to separate themselves from the Hispanic definition meaning, they are not brown and semi-illiterate Latin-Americans but a European, first world people. The Portuguese are traditionally racially unaware and were never confronted with justifying their origins in a racial way... there’s not one Portuguese race but a melting pot of ancient peoples who settled in Portugal. If you see the two pages and compare the scrutiny, you will notice something very “intriguing” again. A lot of the genetic studies quoted here have been carried out by either Spaniards or Spanish-friendly scholars. The “Moors” are avoided like the plague and the Visigoths gain a legendary importance which even Boris Johnson, the current UK prime minister noticed and made a programme about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS07hDVoJcM and the issue is contentious at other levels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQbY8xIAQuo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaniards. (the page is of course, protected already) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_people Now what I will not tolerate is having more ignorant vandals from Spain or Brazil or wherever else try and use Wikipedia as a means of disseminating racial and cultural hatred or discrimination against a people and a culture which deserve respect. For all of the above I request you/whom it may concern to make this page permanently semi-protectd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_people Many thanks Melroross (talk) 15:30, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Productive edits from newcomer tasksWe deployed the basic workflow for newcomer tasks to our target wikis on November 20, and the early results are exciting.
Topic matching deployedThe results from our user tests showed us that newcomers are likely to do more suggested edits if they can choose articles related to a topic that they're interested in, such as "science", "music", or "sports".
Next steps for newcomer tasksBecause we are seeing positive results from newcomer tasks, the Growth team plans to concentrate our efforts on improving the workflow and encouraging more newcomers to use it.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020Hello Paul2520,
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.

The apparent reference "Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 5, MUP, 1974, pp 73-74. Retrieved 9 Sep 2009" is not actually any help Thanks Phil Ledger Pledgerw (talk) 11:53, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
