New pages patrol January 2025 Backlog drive

January 2025 Backlog Drive \| New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.

Concern regarding Draft:Dipont Education

Hello, ThadeusOfNazereth. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Dipont Education, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

2025 Cincinnati Bengals Season

Hello! It looks like you blanked and redirected the article 2025 Cincinnati Bengals Season. I understand you likely have your reasons but every NFL team besides the Bengals has a page for the 2025 season. If you truly believed it was better to blank and redirect you should have started a discussion on that page’s talk page before just deleting the page. This is considered best practice by Wikipedia which can be found in this article: Wikipedia:Redirect. Do you have the capability to retrieve and undelete the blanked article? No worries if not, it’s just a lot more work if I need to recreate the whole thing. Mjmeck25 (talk) 13:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry about that, it looks you did follow protocol and had a discussion. I didn’t see it though which is my fault. That said I still don’t agree that the page should have been deleted as every other NFL team has their 2025 page up and running and since the Bengals are playing next season they should have one too. Mjmeck25 (talk) 13:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

All good - It looks like this has already been resolved. On my end, I should have checked that the page had always existed as a redirect before doing the soft delete, which I'll make sure to do in the future. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 16:27, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
