Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

style="font-size: 86%;"

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to {{Noping|Hey man im josh}} who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by {{noping|Meena}} and {{noping|Greyzxq}} with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of {{noping|Samwalton9 (WMF)|label1=Sam|JSherman (WMF)|label2=Jason|SCardenas (WMF)|label3=Susana}}, and also some patches from {{noping|Jon (WMF)|label1=Jon}}, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

{{ping|Ceyockey}} Regarding your recent revert, it's worth mentioning that I'm pretty sure Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Queue is currently broken as none of the hundreds of pages currently listed on there link to or even mention the word "queue" at all. I've just found one article that had such a link, but I don't believe there are any other such articles. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 00:52, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

An encyclopedia describes things, a dictionary defines terms ...

Ceyockey, I couldn't help noticing that you are adding numerous categories like "Category:Evolutionary biology terminology" to articles.

Now, in the case of a tricky term like "Adaptation", you are arguably correct, the term has multiple meanings, so the article does not describe (or the term denote) a single biological entity, however much we feel that we understand the process, but several, and its topic must be considered at least in part as describing the term and its extension within biological discourse.

On the other hand, with something well-defined like "amino acid" or "adenine", we are not talking about tricky overlapping or conflicting meanings. Many, I hope most, terms in biology have a definite meaning, and a typical biology article is about the thing that the title names, not about the term itself. We are in fact explicitly enjoined by policy to write about things, not terms: WP:NOTDICT.

So, categories that end in "... terminology" do not fit well with subjects like these; indeed I would say that calling Adenine an article about "biology terminology", for instance, is a definite error.

One other thing: I don't really see why this sort of categorisation is needed, as if A is a biochemical and B is a taxon (group of types of organism), then both A and B will fit into a hierarchy which will be topped off by Category:Biology eventually.

I do not wish to spend the next days undoing thousands of newly-added biology categories, so it would be helpful if you could demonstrate consensus for the current categorisation drive (I hope the fact that these articles begin with A means it hasn't gone too far yet!) before proceeding. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

{{ping|Chiswick Chap}} I'm trying to make SOME consistency among glossaries, terminology sets and categories of terminology and I appreciate input, but there is essentially no sense or reason to how things are included in these three piles at the moment. I'm not stupid nor editing in a didactic manner. I will likely re-evaluate in the near future but I'm trying out something to feel if it fits. It doesn't fit quite right at the moment and I do think that "aligning" glossary of biology with biology terminology will likely be bad in the long run. I'm going to step away for a bit and come back and see how I feel about the shape and will likely recompose the inclusion criteria in the terminology category to take into account your comment and some additional thoughts on the matter. Regards. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:14, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Thank you. I certainly don't think categorisation or categorisers are stupid; I do think that categories about words are unlike categories about things. Whether categories about words are sometimes valid (as, it could be argued, with slippery customers like "adaptation") or always valid (again, it could be said that every article is named by a term, but that line of argument would have very far-reaching implications) is a subtle matter that warrants careful thought. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:19, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
{{ping|Chiswick Chap}} I've reverted a couple of additions I made as I agree they didn't belong (things like "amino acid"). I've substantially re-written the inclusion criteria statements. I've also added a full accounting of the revisions to the category talk page so that the rationale for my removals from and additions to the category are transparent. I'm thinking of proceeding along these lines. Thanks for your thoughts. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:26, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Many thanks. On the inclusion criteria, which are obviously welcome, I'd say explicitly that taxa, right up to the top-level (animal, archaea, bacteria, eukaryote) should be excluded, as we ought either to include all N million of them, or none (every taxon is an encyclopedic thing; the name of every taxon is a WP:NOTDICT dictionary term). The current list of 3 criteria is plainly difficult to apply, and could sweep in very many articles, including (uncomfortably) every member of "Biological concepts" and "Glossary of biology". I'd want to restrict membership to articles which are specifically about biology terminology, which discuss terms like adaptation precisely because they are of terminological (not purely biological) interest. To put it a different way, I believe that categories for terms should contain only meta-level articles, ones that discuss how concepts (in object-level categories like "Biological concepts") should be applied; it should not contain any object-level articles. So for example, "acclimatization", "aerobic organism", and "autotroph" are biological concepts, and the terms for them are not of special interest (they apply simply and directly to single, sharply-defined concepts). All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:23, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

style="float: right; border: 1px solid #BBB; background: #FFFFFF;

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

style="float: right;

style="font-size: 86%;"

Backlog update:

At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive:

A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades:

Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed?ui_version=1 here] - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip:

Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip:

If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use [https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu Discord] voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the [https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu New Page Patrol Discord].

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Image:AFC-Logo.svg

Hello Ceyockey:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find :Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over {{Rounddown|{{formatnum:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pending AfC submissions}}|R}}|-2}} pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

style="float: right; border: 1px solid #BBB; background: #FFFFFF;

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

style="float: right;

style="font-size: 86%;"

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 {{no ping|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 {{no ping|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

File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg

{{no ping|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. {{no ping|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 [https://nppbrowser.toolforge.org/ NPP Browser] tool.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the [https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu New Pages Patrol Discord].

I need help with my article

Hi @Ceyockey

I found your site and as a newbie to Wikipedia editing it's super impressive what you've already done here!

For my first article, I thought it would be easiest to take an existing article in my native language (German), translate it, and add additional information. I wrote about Nanoscribe which is part of the BICO group. In case you did not hear about them yet, they make 3D laser microprinters.

I made some mistakes at the beginning and didn't realize some problems with citations. But I think I have that pretty well fixed now. I submitted it for review and I've been waiting for several weeks for someone to review it. Could you help me with this? As a newbie, if there are still problems with the article, I would be happy to get your tips :)

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey].

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Take the survey [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en here].

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

March on Washington

Hi, do you need help with this page move? I have temporarily created March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom as a redirect to March on Washington (temp) because your page move suppressed the redirect and broke a lot of backlinks and redirects to the original title. ✗plicit 05:47, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

:I had to revert your actions. You completely deleted the page history when it was at March on Washington (temp); I restored it. I noticed that you reverted your move discussion closure, so I moved the page back to its original title. ✗plicit 06:13, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Virobay]]

The article :Virobay has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

does not seem to be notable. google search results are company profiles. three google news results of which one is a PR release, and the other two are passing mentions. Newsbank search returns 1 newspaper article (passing mention) all other results are just newswires.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
