Daniel Sillman

Hey - noticed a bunch of the article on Daniel Sillman was deleted, but nothing is showing up in the history section. This was after it went through the entire AFD process and was kept. What do you think happen and should I just add back in the content? It looks like it was the same person that recommended the article for deletion and now deleting the content. Bankrupt305 (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

User:Bankrupt305 I have no idea about any of this. I suggest you consider WP:Deletion review and/or contact a friendly administrator. Sorry, but I don't even remember the article. Wish I could help. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:40, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Account recovery without a password, and where your associated email is no longer there, is problematical. Because of access problems with other websites, my cookies and passwords were deleted. I couldn't find my Wikipedia password! Duh! It also helps to have the email option open.
Learn a lesson. Don't make those mistakes.
This was in part due to the travails that some folks put me through. Beyond the attacks at WP:ANI, there were the many attempts to hijack my account. Mobs are unplesaant things — only exciting when they are limited to a Frankenstein movie. No way to build an encyclopedia. I will not forget.
FWIW, this proves that it is possible (albeit difficult) to recover a Wikipedia account where passwords are lost and an editor is locked out.
Thank you to those who assisted me in getting this account turned back on. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:16, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Obfuscated writing

Hello 7&6=thirteen! I have a small bit of constructive criticism for you that I hope you won't take personally. While I think your writing is top quality and probably among the best on Wikipedia, one issue that I noticed is that it is sometimes needlessly wordy or obfuscated.[1][2] Since Wikipedia is intended for a general audience, including people without a college education, I hope you'll consider simplifying your wording and even "writing down" in the future. Anyway, thanks for your work and sorry to bug you. Nosferattus (talk) 14:01, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Nosferattus (talk) Thanks for your input. You are probably right.

You had to be there. I learned that WP:DYK can be a continuation of WP:ANI by other means. Kind of like war and diplomacy. Some open hostility was on display (not toward me, as far as I know).

But it was a technical and legal article. The whole DYK process infected the submission.

Rewriting the article and getting it through the beleaguered and unduly contentious approval process was another story. Moreover, I even had to highlight the problem on the relevant project pages, so that other lawyers would come in and add their two cents. The detractor would not be silenced. I fixed the problem; I do not need to fix the blame. Revisiting the nomination page will only reopen a closed wound, and someone will deem it a "personal attack."

I got nothing for the effort, other than the satisfaction of seeing it on the main page.

And of course your thoughtful advice. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:10, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to hear it was such a contentious process. I often wish that Wikipedia was more collegial and less of a battleground. I'm glad you were able to persevere, as it was a pleasure reading your article, which I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. Nosferattus (talk) 15:09, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I thought it became a fully developed article. Any 1-L (First year law school student in the United States) would have known the answer to the question; but laymen not so much. Wikipedia collegiality is a great aspirational goal. From your keyboard to God's ear. Happy April Fools Day. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:12, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello 7&6=thirteen,

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 804 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 851 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.

New Chapter

Hi there. I'm reaching out as I'm a little confused by this edit that you made on the New Chapter article. It's not the type of edit you would usually make, and it seems a bit at odds with your usual reasoned editing style. The mention of these masks is clearly a pure spin attempt normally found on articles that people are desperately trying to make relevant and notable. A few thousand masks that they were given by their parent company and just distributed, is not in any way encyclopaedic and even if it was it would be relevant to P&G not New Chapter. It just seems so unlike your normal contributions that I thought I'd reach out to check in as to why the edit was made, or maybe it was just a misreading and a mistake. Canterbury Tail talk 18:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

Backlog drive

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.

TIP – New school articles

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

Misc

There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13929 articles, as of 20:00, 30 November 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, 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.

Sig issues

Hey! This is the 3rd time I've seen your sig cause Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word to flag. Do you think you could send your exact signature unparsed (E.g. <nowiki>)? There is probably something wrong with its use of {{=}}. Thanks. Aidan9382 _(talk) 13:20, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

User:Aidan9382 I am aware of this new issue. I've used this signature for 14+ years. Wasn't there before. Wasn't a problem before. Somehow this came up. Don't know how, who or why. I do not intend to change my signature. However, if you have a constructive suggestion please let me know. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:28, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

The function of {{=}} was changed recently after it became a magic word (See phab:T91154). I'm assuming you are substituting the template, which is why this is appearing. I'd propose using = as an alternative, tell me if that works out fine. If not, I'll look deeper into it. Aidan9382 _(talk) 13:36, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

I didn't do anything. Didn't change anything. Didn't substitute a template. Didn't know about the template. Sorry. You are sending but I am, not receiving. I do not understand your suggestion. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:21, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Hm. Thats interesting. Could you please send your signature in nowiki tags? I could probably locate the issue better if I knew exactly what your signature was doing. Sorry if this is a bit confusing, I'm not entirely sure how this has happened myself. Aidan9382 _(talk) 21:31, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Replied on Aidan9382's talk page. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:58, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

It's a mystery to me. And it recurred here. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:28, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

And now it has disappeared. But it showed up immediately after I signed. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:53, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm just actively fixing it when it pops up in the associated category. To fix it, just remove the category part and itll work. Aidan9382 _(talk) 19:04, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

I edited preferences. Added signature without the category. We will see. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:18, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

DYK that I didn't support my dear friend RexxS, knowing that it would drain me without much hope of improving the case? I have watched an arb suggesting that an editor - another friend - be banned because he uncollapsed an infobox (and that edit was the majority for the banning at the time), so I know that the craziest things can happen.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello 7&6=thirteen,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination

MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

Open letter to the WMF

The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

TIP - Reviewing by subject

Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

New reviewers

The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, 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.

I am a pariah

Apparently I am the proof of everything wrong in deletions and WP:ARS. here and repeatedly throughout that discussion. Since this arguably involves "deletions broadly defined" I am unable to defend these continuing accusations. Wikipedia lives with all that. I don't make policy. And this is one of the most protracted discussions about almost nothing that one can find in Wikipedia. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:45, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Indeed, the open and gleeful hostility to article improvement and WP:ARS is in evidence here. Continual and nonsupportable accusations of WP:Canvassing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:19, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

And they are now on the attack at WP:ANI concerning User:Douglas Coldwell, who has created over 500 DYKs and countless GAs. Here and following thereafter ad infinitum and ad nauseum. Piling on.

Been there.

Like me, he was an Editor of the Week. Ironically, I received mine contemporaneously: while I was being run up the flag pole in arbitration. Not that this butters any parsnips at ANI.

Thank you for this article and others! - Remember, you got the prize from the cabal of the outcasts? (And so did Doug Coldwell.) - The rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and this year was full of music that day, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto (my brother played in the orchestra), and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died.

User MrsSnoozyTurtle case

Hi! Thank you for reverting MrsSnoozyTurtle reversion in the Paraguayan Football Association article. I sent her a message telling her that she should improve the article instead of deleting everything. I was surprised about her behaviour so I decided to see her contributions and most of them are reversions, accusations, moving to draft articles that were published a time ago and proposals of deletions of several articles. As you are a experienced editor here, I want to ask you what to do with this kind of users that feel like policemen who can delete everything they considered wrong instead of improving articles? I also realized that someone created the article of Robert Harrison, the president of the Paraguayan Football Association, and she moved it to drafts because she didn't like how it was written. I believe that this kind of attitude discourages new users to be part of Wikipedia. As you can see in her edit history, she is asking for the deletion of articles that have been in Wikipedia for years or months instead of making them better. Many thanks for reading this and I'm sorry if I bothered you. Have a nice day and thank you in advance for your advice. Lizkin (talk) 12:59, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. That's her way.

Unfortunately, I have been topic banned from Deletion discussions "broadly defined." WP:ARS participation and article rescue was part of this. Whether that was right or not is no longer relevant. She will be outwardly courteous, but ... See my WP:User page.

Your concerns are legitimate. Good luck. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:15, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Many thanks for your reply! I'm really thinking of telling this in the Wikibullying forum, but I'm new here so I may try to do my best to contribute positively with content! Many thanks and good luck! Lizkin (talk) 13:24, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Lizkin Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paraguayan Football Association. Punitive. Sorry to see you going through that. Spanish language sources are certainly legitimate. Given that this is the most popular professiional sport in the country, it is rather like getting rid of the National Hockey League, Major league baseball, or the National Football League in America. Really? Meets WP:GNG. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

It's unbelievable! And it looks a little bit racist too. Is there any forum to tell about her attitude in Wikipedia? The community can't aceept this kind of behaviour. Lizkin (talk) 15:13, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

@Lizkin As a first step, I would respond to the message she left on your Talk page. She is mainly concerned about whether or not you have a conflict of interest / close association with APF. Please see WP:COI. It is OK if you are paid to edit, but if so, Wikipedia requires you to state it up front, and other editors can help you as needed. (And if you don't have a conflict, just say so.) Cielquiparle (talk) 15:24, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, I did't see her message so I answered it now. I don't have any conflict, I'm just a soccer fan from Paraguay. I always read the articles about football here and when I found that the article of the Paraguayan Football Association was a stub I tried to help. I never imagine there was an edit war there. Lizkin (talk) 15:48, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

User:Lizkin Speaking of records, that AFD discussion here opened and closed faster than a revolving door. It was just WP:Edit warring under another name, and our esteemed editors saw through that real fast. It's snowing in October. "The result was keep. WP:SNOW close due to considerable, unanimous opposition to deletion and strength of arguments presented." 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:56, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm glad to see that! I also wrote about the incident in the phttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&action=edit&section=30 administrator forum]telling about how she is always nominating for deletion, drafting and reverting articles instead of improve them. You might find the discussion interesting Lizkin (talk) 23:26, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Interesting, but I will not participate. She is inert and nonexistent to me. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 00:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Your edit to terra nullius

Hello there

I reverted your edit about the discovery doctrine being "later adopted by the SCOTUS" because in the context it seems a bit tangential and misleading. As you are aware, Justice Marshall discussed the discovery doctrine 300 years after the period we are talking about and his version of it was a thorough reworking and critique of the doctrine rather than an adoption of it as it s ood in the sixteenth century. Happy to discuss. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 03:10, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

December 2022

Your recent editing history at List of longest living dogs shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
