--Lajmmoore (talk 19:43, 30 March 2024 (UTC) via MassMessaging New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024Hello Paul2520,  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:

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News. Community ConfigurationGrowth features are currently configurable at An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator. In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation. Experiment ResultsAdd a Image experiment analysis results The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:
Personalized praise experiment results This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763) English donors encouraged to try editing As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900) Future workAnnual Plan The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657) Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering.

--Lajmmoore (talk 18:46, 29 November 2024 (UTC) via MassMessaging Subject: Request to Consider Creating an Article for "AVL List"Dear Paul2520, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to suggest the creation of an article for AVL List GmbH, an internationally significant company that currently lacks representation on the English Wikipedia. Here is a summary of the reasons why I believe this topic meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria: Global Importance in Automotive and Engineering Sectors: AVL List GmbH is one of the largest independent companies in the world specializing in the development, simulation, and testing of powertrain systems. This includes work on internal combustion engines, electric and hybrid powertrains, and related technologies. The company plays a critical role in the automotive industry's transition to sustainable mobility. Proven Notability: AVL List has been extensively covered in reliable, secondary sources. These include industry reports, news articles in respected publications (e.g., Automotive News, Forbes), and research collaborations documented in academic journals. Additionally, AVL’s innovations in simulation technologies and its contributions to engineering fields have been widely recognized. Existing Coverage in Other Languages: AVL List already has a detailed and well-sourced article on the German Wikipedia ([link to the article]). Expanding its presence to the English Wikipedia would benefit a global audience and align with the goal of making knowledge accessible across linguistic boundaries. Alignment with Wikipedia’s Purpose: The absence of an English article for a company of AVL’s stature creates a notable gap in Wikipedia’s coverage of the automotive and engineering domains. Including this article would provide balanced and well-referenced information for researchers, engineers, students, and other interested parties. I am happy to provide a draft article or additional resources to support the creation of this page. My draft would adhere strictly to Wikipedia’s neutrality and verifiability guidelines, ensuring that the article is factual, balanced, and well-sourced. Thank you for considering this suggestion. Please let me know if you would be open to reviewing a draft or if you need further details regarding the topic. Best regards, Norbert NorbertAdam1980 (talk) 10:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
