Hello! Your submission of Jennifer Webster-Cyriaque at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Antonietta Stella

Thank you for the nomination, but rarely have I seen such an underdeveloped article (no ref but a link to a copy of something else which doesn't support half of what it claims). It's better but not there yet, - actually far from there. I'll keep working, and hope that nobody will notice ;) - Could you check if you can support my nom for 20 Feb there, which also nobody noticed? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:27, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I've found that sometimes, posting a nomination there spurs article improvements. Please feel free to continue improving! TJMSmith (talk) 14:13, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Sometimes, yes. I had no time yet, but will do, at least the recordings should be sources, and discogs is not regarded as reliable. - Thank you for Herwartz. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the next, Eleonore Schönborn. I learned to not have red links in the infobox, how about you? - Now last year, when LouisAlain was with us, he would have created the 3 articles in 2 hours, but I'm slow (1 per day) and want to do a woman for women's month today (couldn't yesterday because a man died). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:42, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

I am happy to remove the redlinks. I was not aware of any policy avoiding redlinks in the infoboxes. TJMSmith (talk) 13:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Yelena Yesha, pioneer for Women in Tech

Hello TJ, I found you when I looked up Susan Gregurick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_K._Gregurick She is someone similar to Dr. Yelena Yesha. I am trying to get Wikipedia to add Dr. Yesha because I feel she career achievements warrant inclusion.

Forbes magazine highlighted Dr. Yesha's accomplishments in technology in a two-part profile: Part I: Dr. Yelena Yesha: Meet The Tenacious Pioneer Pushing Innovation To Address Real World Problems 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2018/12/12/dr-yelena-yesha-meet-the-tenacious-pioneer-pushing-innovation-to-address-real-world-problems/

Part II: Dr. Yelena Yesha: Pushing Technology Boundaries To Solve The World's Biggest Problems 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2019/02/20/dr-yelena-yesha-pushing-technology-boundaries-to-solve-the-worlds-biggest-problems-part-ii/

Since you are looking our for Women in Tech, I thought I would try submitting her information to you. I tried to add it myself (twice) but the article had 2 issues: 1) It was flagged for "copyright" even though the text was our own. And 2) it was flagged for "conflict of interest" for the fact that Dr. Yesha and I work at the same place. If I don't work on this though, I don't know who will. We are not profiting in any way from a listing for her. It's just something she asked for my help with. I am not being paid. I did most of it from home, not during work hours in any case. _______

HERE IS THE TEXT. The sites are not here but I could provide them (I think I saved them . . .). What do you think?

Dr. Yelena Yesha (born July 27, 1962), a pioneer for women in technology[1], is currently the Knight Foundation Endowed Chair of Data Science and AI[2] at the University of Miami Institute for Data Science and Computing ("IDSC"). At IDSC, Dr. Yesha is also the Innovation Officer and Head of International Relations. In this role, Dr. Yesha assists faculty in engaging government and industrial partners to collaborate with the University and consults with faculty on developing research ideas into innovations.

Dr. Yesha was the Founding Director of the National Science Foundation Center for Accelerated Real Time Analytics (CARTA), an NSF-funded Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) that aims to develop long-term partnerships among industry, academia, and government. CARTA partners with Rutgers University New Brunswick[3], North Carolina State University[4], the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)[5], Tel Aviv University, and the University of Miami[6].

Dr. Yesha’s accomplishments in technology include leading initiatives for NASA, IBM, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). As Director of the Center of Excellence in Space Data and Information Sciences (CESDIS) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, she oversaw the development of Beowulf—a high-performance parallel computing system now used in universities and research labs worldwide—and major components of the Linux operating system, which were later commercialized by Red Hat.

In the 1990s, Dr. Yesha represented the U.S. at the G7 Summit, leading the development of resources on electronic commerce, and examining its impact on policy, governance, and compliance. She later received funding from the European Union and NSF to build a Master of Science in Electronic Commerce program across Europe. From 1997 to 2005, Dr. Yesha was Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Digital Libraries, and she now serves as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Smart Homecare Technology and Telehealth. Since 2004, Dr. Yesha has been a leader in bringing Data Science tools such as machine learning and AI to health care, improving physicians’ diagnostic capabilities, and advancing precision medicine.

Dr. Yesha received her B.Sc. degrees in Computer Science and in Applied Mathematics from York University, Toronto, Canada, and her M.Sc. degree and Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from The Ohio State University She has published 11 books as author or editor[7], and more than 200 papers in prestigious refereed journals and refereed conference proceedings[8], and she has been awarded external funding in a total amount exceeding $45 million dollars.

An internationally recognized leader[9] in the areas of blockchains[10][11][12][13][14], cybersecurity, and big data analytics with applications to electronic commerce, climate change, AI[15], and digital health/medical informatics[16] (including radiology[17]), she is currently working with leading industrial companies and government agencies[18] on new innovative technology.

Hello hello! Firstly, thank you so much for writing the Tori Dunlap article. I love your dedication to fostering the inclusion of underrepresented groups on Wikipedia. I'm writing to you to see if you'd be interested in writing an article about Her First $100K, Tori's passion/company? Her First $100K is dedicated to fighting the patriarchy through financial education and I think our mission aligns with yours. Let me know what you think!

Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTOR

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up.

April songs

Ukraine day today: Maks Levin DYK, expanding Kyiv Symphony Orchestra (have tickets), and creating Anthony Robin Schneider, the bass who could be heard opening the singing in Beethoven's Ninth twice on 10 March 2022, live in Frankfurt, Germany, and recorded in Auckland, New Zealand, singing "Freiheit!" (freedom) instead of "Freude" (joy), in a tradition started after the Fall of the Wall. In case of interest. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:35, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello TJMSmith,

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 812 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 848 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 {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

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.

Your draft article, Draft:Riyaz Aly

Hello, TJMSmith. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Riyaz Aly".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 23:01, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Greg Locke approval, thanks!

Hey, thank you very much for approving my draft on Greg Locke! I'd temporarily abandoned work on it to focus on my studies, and so it was a lovely surprise to log on and discover that it had become a page. Thanks again, Swadge2 (talk) 04:06, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! I was about to start a page and saw you already had a great draft prepared. TJMSmith (talk) 11:45, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
