New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Julietdeltalima,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

• There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
• A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
• A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
• A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Isle of Man

Re: Your edit to Section 10 - Culture, subsection 10.1 Language

I added a paragraph regarding the Isle of Man's Manx Language school. All children (ages 3+ are taught ALL lessons exclusively in Manx. This is not a Manx lesson for 1 hour a week similar to French or Spanish lessons in most English speaking schools, the whole school day, every day is Manx Language exclusively. I included a citation reference to the school website homepage that includes the factual information that I added to the article, the website being administered under policies of, and by employees of the Isle of Man Government. The offending paragraph was as follows:

'Bunscoill Ghaelgagh is the world's only Manx Gaelic medium primary school. Based in the historic former St John's school building. All lessons in the school are taught in native Manx. The school is located in the heart of St John's village, opposite Tynwald Hill the centre of the Manx Parliament.'

References

This was removed with the following Edit Summery:

'(Reverted good faith edits by Ripsaw-2: Reverting addition that, intentionally or not, was phrased in an unencyclopedically promotional manner; if you don't agree I will walk through this with you clause by clause and demonstrate that it sounds like the description of, e.g., a vacation prize on "Wheel of Fortune" '

I disagree that that the National Government describes it's places of education, especially one that specialises in the preservation and development of the National language, as a prize on "Wheel of Fortune". There are 4 sentences in the paragraph and all 4 are factually correct with zero embellishment. In the context of the preceeding paragraphs in the article implying that the native language is dying out, I would argue that the information added is of high subject importance and should be reinstated.

Cotton Spinning Machinery

I understand why you edited-out the external link which I added to this article. However, I would ask you to re-consider this decision because there is no suitable internal wikilink to illustrate the point which the article is trying to make and the point is a very important one which is quite difficult to grasp. It is also one which is most easily illustrated by a video.

Moreover, the machine which is being discussed is historically very important because at its hieght, it consituted the majority of the spinning capacity of the world, yet, of the more than half a million such machines which have existed, only two reamin in the entire world today and the video shows one of these machines at work. I therefore consider this to be a very important video, entirely appropriate to the context of the article at that precise point. I hope therefore that you will re-instate my contribution.

Please discuss this with the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE; I am sitting in a doctor's office waiting room and not really able to respond effectively. Thanks. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 21:12, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Human Extinction

Re: Your edit removing the Biblical account of the extinction of humans

Hi, The biblical account is as plausible as anything, especially compared to nano-bots and terminator scenarios. Please edit the addition to meet acceptable standards as this was a useful and meaningful addition.

(A) It wasn't, and (b) I don't follow your orders. The burden is on you to: (a) gain consensus on the article's talk page to add this, and (b) write and cite it appropriately. I'm a volunteer like everyone else here. Please take any further questions to WP:TEAHOUSE I won't respond further to you. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 00:06, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

"Brazilian Cuisine"

Re: Your edit on Brazilian cuisine and Brigadeiro.

Hi Juliet, my additions were not intended to be inappropriate, but to be a useful resource that complements the articles here on Wikipedia. When readers look for a specific dish or cuisine it makes sense to me that they would want to read the recipe in full or read further about that cuisine. I am well aware links from Wikipedia are nofollow, but my ultimate goal was to provide readers with the most information to all things related to Brazil, as I do in my online magazine.

Regards, B — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.168.208.230 (talk) 09:40, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

You’ve just admitted to a WP:COI. Do not link to your own “online magazine” here. This isn’t negotiable. Please talk to the WP:TEAHOUSE editors for further clarification; I won’t engage with you further. Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:26, 12 March 2020 (UTC) Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:26, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Re: April 2020

Hello, I got my information on articles 'Hornepayne', and 'Huntsville' by looking through climate extremes on climate websites such 'climate.weather.gc.ca', and 'eldoradoweather'. I found that they were the lowest of any extreme for the summer months. I can leave out those specific facts in those articles if you like. Thanks, --Old Hoar's Frost (talk) 19:49, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

It is appropriate to leave those out, yes, Old Hoar's Frost. Otherwise it's inappropriate unpublished synthesis. Thanks. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 20:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Compounded interest

I remembered your corrections when I got compound modifiers quite confused, when using it to point out I don't always get English correct. But that prompted me to drop a note here about a 'something' that looked like a compound modifier thingy, but made me cross-eyed.

"Operating system-specific feature" (An example here, originally an IBM site).

Or, is the compound part really just "Operating system-specific", with "Operating system" as a noun? Shenme (talk) 20:23, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tortilla, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Prickly pear (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

RE April 2020 notification about notable entry

Hi, I am actually working for the University of British Columbia Archives. Due to the coronavirus, those of us who work in the University Archives have been relegated to working from home. One of our tasks is to edit and create Wikipedia pages for the people whose records we have recently worked on. As a result, I am in the process of creating a Wikipedia page for Robert John Gregg due to recently working with his HUGE Survey of Vancouver English from 1984, and possibly a page for the Survey itself. Robert Gregg was once widely known, and the more I discover about him, the more I realize he definitely needs a page. He is regarded as the leading pioneer of the academic study of Ulster-Scots and as well as being a linguistic authority on Canadian English. I expect the page to go up Monday or Tuesday. Here is a link to the University's Archives' Finding Aids. Please scroll down to Survey of Vancouver English. https://archives.library.ubc.ca/textual-records/ Here are two of the many sources I will be using for the page. http://www.ulsterscotsacademy.com/ullans/2/professor-r-j-gregg.php https://www.libraryireland.com/gregg/professor-robert-j-gregg.php

"Overlooked"

I think you should've took another look at the information I provided before deleting it. My information about Lily Rose Depp and Timothee Chalamet breaking up was correct, even if I didn't link an article. I didn't appreciate you threatening to block me from editing when I didn't provide any false information. I appreciate the criticism but feel under appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donutlove69 (talk • contribs) 21:39, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Please read WP:V. It is more important to have support than for something to purportedly be "correct." Wikipedia is not here to make you feel "appreciated"; you must follow the rules. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 21:54, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

"Overlooked" Part 2

I just want to clarify that my friend is 100% correct in her edits. I too have proof that these facts about Timothee and Lily-Rose are correct. You are not the owner of this website or Timothee. Therefore, you have no right to make people feel unappreciated. I just want to make sure you understand before you are blocked from further editing.

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

• Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
• Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
• The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
• Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
• Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Hog Farm with 801, Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Apartment edit

Hi. You just reverted my Apartment edit. You said I'm overlinking. What exactly did I overlink? I just added the link to the main part (studio - studio apartment) and then I linked countries. I also added some links to the See also section. What's wrong? I feel like the other sections have decent amount of links too, and I didn't really feel like that was overlinking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TalkativeIndividual130 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Julietdeltalima,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

• A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
• Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
• A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
• Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Saint Helena Airport

Just a note to say I've now blocked the IP for vandalism and also block evasion. I note the article was given protection 4 days ago, but I don't see any justification to extend this to the Talk page at this present time. Please report to WP:RFPP should this ever be necessary. They're also in my time zone, so I've added page to my watchlist Nick Moyes (talk) 00:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Nick Moyes, thank you SO much for looking into this stupidity! (Happy-face emoji!) I looked for protection and didn't find it, which is interesting because I've been asking for page protection for a couple of weeks and have repeatedly had same dismissed because there wasn't enough vandalism. If I missed something today—when, admittedly, I'm darting on and off WP on a Sunday afternoon because that's my life (sad-face emoji)—my deepest apologies for creating work for you. Thanks for your help! - Julietdeltalima (talk) 00:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
• The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
• Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Year without a summer

The edit I made on year without a summer was needed. You are illiterate if you do not agree. There was a grammar error that made the sentence sound ridiculous.

It looks like a range block that would cover the IPs involved at Infinite Jest would have a little too much collateral damage. I've semi-protected the page for 10 days hoping that'll have a desired outcome. only (talk) 20:41, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Cholula Hot Sauce Edits

Hello Julietdeltalima Thank you for a quick response and help to navigate. 1. Yes - I belong to an agency that has indirect affiliation with the page I'm attempting to edit. Not trying to thwart the rules (I did disclose this in my edits just in case). With the pandemic - there have been a number of questions about Cholula and I suggested we update wikipedia. To help make this verifiable - we changed the website first. 1. Cholula is still manufactured in Mexico. Many were confused about where it is produced. We suggest this for your review. We have tried to remover marketingese. ″For the past 35 years Cholula has been made in Mexico crafted from carefully selected Mexican arbol and piquin peppers and a blend of signature spices. Cholula directly employs over 500+ people in Mexico and is responsible for indirectly creating more jobs for the farmers who grow Cholula’s peppers. [Footnote]" 2. With Sweet Habanero flavor - the Scoville range is 1000 - 2000. The source was internal at Cholula 3. Minor update - to match the website -- Cholula "is sold in over 20 countries around the world" 4. Introduction of a new product sample size 0.75 5. 5. Perhaps too optimistic - but trying to update the marketing references - to reflect the partnership with Aaron Sanchez with the past promotion of Cholula INK> "In 2019, Cholula partnered with celebrity chef Aaron Sanchez and launched an online stunt campaign designed by The Fourth Agency under the name “Cholula Ink”. Promoted across social media, the promotion encouraged Cholula fans to get a free Cholula tattoo. " Full disclosure - I am with the Fourth Agency. Source is public though Footnote: : Cholula Ink Social Media Contest: Meet chef Aaron Sanchez https://www.cholula.com/cholulaink Footnote Get a free Tattoo Courtesy of Cholula https://www.delish.com/food-news/a30393775/cholula-tattoo-contest/

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

• Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
• HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
• Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Fractional Ownership

What in this paragraph is unsourced?--please elaborate specifically. Investment in iconic pieces of sports memorabilia, including sports cards, game-used items, trophies, autographs, and other historically significant documents is now possible through fractionalization. Prior to fractional ownership, investment in this industry was limited to those with ample capital and industry expertise. As these assets appreciate (or depreciate) over time, peer-to-peer trading allows the share price to increase/decrease to reflect market conditions.

According to whom? And is that source reliable by Wikipedia's standards? Please redirect your discussions to the article's talk page (rather than my individual editorial talk page), ensure you sign (with four tildes) your posts on any talk page, and make any necessary disclosures required by WP:COI. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 20:27, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Question About Reverted Edit

In this rollback, you mentioned that the use of the article “the” before the word “calculus” is a standard convention for mathematicians. However, the sentence in question appears to be referring to the subject of calculus and not “the calculus [of infinitesimals]”. Are the two terms not interchangeable in that context?

Edit for Johnstown Inclined Plane page

You recently removed an edit of mine on the above page due to a lack of sources.

I happen to be an operator of the Johnstown Inclined Plane and know for a fact that it takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds (give or take a few seconds depending on weather, weight of load on the cars, etc). I completed over 80 hours of training to become an operator and have held this position since 2017.

I'm not sure what else you would consider as a reliable source on this matter. 

Please advise. DaHaoleMoke (talk) 23:17, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Article Related

the edition is relating to the article, please review and post it. Ismailewu (talk) 13:31, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Related to the ANI

First of all it is wonderful to see someone struggle to chastise new editors the same as me. I am still very new but I war with myself and others over ensuring "good faith" stays a main principle. Related to the edits of Wenzhou by Rqwfas1, the grammatical errors fixed within the article looked legit when I checked them. If they would just stop changing the title format it appears their edits would be helpful. Oh well. Hopefully it gets their attention. I pinged them here so hopefully they have another avenue to see that no one is picking on them but trying to help them follow policy. Cheers!--Tsistunagiska (talk) 19:36, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

The grammar errors are sporadic and re-fixable. The title format changes are pervasive and are far more problematic. The bigger issue is that this new user, like many new users, doesn't seem to realize they have a talk page on which other editors are leaving messages. It sometimes takes multiple editors, and, worse, noticeboard postings, to put such a new editor on notice that this is a collaborative project and they may be contacted and required to engage in discussion regarding their changes. It isn't reasonable for anyone to take this personally or view themselves as being "picked on"; this is a professional encyclopedia project and I certainly don't treat anyone differently in the Wikipediaverse than I do in real life. Oververbosity is not "friendly", and succinctness is not "bullying." (You didn't use those words, to be sure; I hear them sometimes and they are not well-taken criticisms.) Thanks for your interest in helping improve the encyclopedia! - Julietdeltalima (talk) 19:49, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Era Style on Extreme weather events of 535–536

Recently you reverted my edits to Extreme weather events of 535–536. I had removed the CE on the page because there were multiple discussions on the talk page about the era styles on the article, none of which have been resolved, and also they were the only use of era style on the page at all. Because of this I felt that it would be better to just remove it, since it is unnecessary, and it had been a point of contention on the page, which in the past wasn't using an era style there for most of its history anyway. Also your edit summary on the page seems to imply that it is not standard to not use era styles in the 500's, which is just wrong, most of the time era style is not used with dates this late, or at least I rarely see it. Also the article is not ambiguous on weather or not it is before or after the BCE/CE mark, and Wikipedia's guidelines state that if it isn't, then you should not even be using the era styles anyway, since it sates that only 1 or 2 digit years need the era style, for all of these reasons, I would ask that we can agree to revert your edit to the article.

WikiCup 2020 November newsletter

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions).

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Julietdeltalima,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Rank	Username	Num reviews	Log
1	DannyS712 bot III (talk)	67,552	Patrol Page Curation
2	Rosguill (talk)	63,821	Patrol Page Curation

10	Utopes (talk)	3,958	Patrol Page Curation

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Istriana goat‎

Hi, Julietdeltalima! I have to admit I'm baffled by your edit to Istriana goat, which I've reverted. Firstly, MOS:NUMERAL is absolutely clear that "Integers greater than nine expressible in one or two words may be expressed either in numerals or in words (16 or sixteen, 84 or eighty-four, 200 or two hundred)". Secondly, what on earth is an "underway"? That word is not in the reference dictionary of the English language. It's great to fix errors, and there are certainly plenty waiting to be corrected; but do please take care not introduce any more than we already have! Thank you, have a great Christmas (or equivalent) and New Year! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:30, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

User:Justlettersandnumbers: "Underway"? It's a wholly uncontroversial adverb in my experience; I don't have time right now to track down a legitimate OED, but Google's "Oxford Languages" makes it clear that "un·der·way" /ˌəndərˈwā/" is an adverb meaning "having started and in progress; being done or carried out": "the remodeling should be underway by July". I infer that this is an Americanese WP:ENGVAR difference I never knew existed until now (and I am actually pretty conscious about such things). With respect to the MOS:NUM correction, my recollection was that the prior text had been something like "forty three", unhyphenated, and I made the not-MOS-unsanctioned decision to replace it with numerals rather than merely hyphenate it (I guess I'm of the school that reflexively uses numerals versus words for 21 and above). I assure you I'm 49 years old, a professional writer of a sort, and not a total idiot! I did it this way for a reason... Take care! - Julietdeltalima (talk) 21:50, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Well, no, it read "... the Istriana is one of the forty-three autochthonous goat breeds of limited distribution .... You can access the OED (and loads of other useful resources) through the Wikipedia Library, definitely worth doing if you don't already have access. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:11, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Wording fight with Bloom6132, please intervene

JulietDeltaLima, I have a problem with Bloom6132. He often uses a two-sentence format regarding notable-figures' deaths that he insists on using (though I don't think other editors do), with the second sentence beginning with a simple yet blunt-looking "He was X", and then listing the cause. On both the Robert Sam Anson ([2]) and Peter Thorburn ([3]) articles, I tried to simplify it to make that part sound less blunt, but Bloom6132 tried to change it back to his preferred version a couple of times, even after I gave him reasons and warnings saying that the two-sentence wording he insists on using doesn't have to apply to every article, and he was coming close to violating 3RR. I think you would consider what Bloom6132 inserts "oververbiage" or something. Can you please intervene before we end up being subject to sanctions for edit warring? I'd ask why Bloom6132 insists on using the format he's been using regarding notable peoople's deaths on his talk page, but I don't want to get involved in a heated argument regarding this. At least he didn't attach the phrase "years old" at the end of the "He was X" phrase. Jim856796 (talk) 04:56, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Jim856796, I will look at this over the weekend. I apologize for not responding to your earlier post on this. I think you and I probably agree that, while this is ultimately a silly "hill to die on" (pun may or may not be unintended), we are both concerned that people who aren't accustomed to getting real-time feedback on their writing (in any capacity, not just Wikipedia) are rarely self-aware when their usage reflexively echoes that of television news presenters. Bear with me; I have a lot going on at the moment and this is an issue that requires at least 40 minutes of focused time (not idle hyphenation corrections while listening to poorly written outgoing voice-mail menus) and that's not going to happen until Sunday at the earliest. But this is a usage thing that bugs me and I thank you for looking to me! Take care - Julietdeltalima (talk) 17:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

@Julietdeltalima: You know that heated argument that Bloom6132 is trying to drag me into, even though I didn't want it? Well, it's happening right now, on my talk page. What if he insists he's going to keep on reverting and wants to be an active edit warrior? Jim856796 (talk) 02:26, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Kiev Day and Night

Why you revert my edit in Kiev Day and Night? 1. The title proper title is Kiev Day and Night (see its references), 2. I am arranging the story that is previously false and I watched it every day, 3.

Because your grammar is profoundly incorrect, as this message demonstrates. "I am reasonably improve the article and you reverse my important edit," alone, has at least three significant grammar errors; "There is mass grammatical incorrects" adds at least three more.

• Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
• ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
• Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
• Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
• The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
• Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
• Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
• Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
• Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Watch Talk: Breitling Revision

Hi Julietdeltalima, thanks for your recent feedback on my revision of the Breitling watch page. I'm new and still working to figure out what information will be of value to a page. I still feel that celebrity/athlete watch owners and endorsers is a valuable segment for users to reference. I first noticed this section on the Audemars Piguet watch page and think it's worth mentioning on other notable watch brand maker pages. If you still feel that this is 'unencyclopedic cruft,' and ultimately provides no additional value to the reader, then should I suggest removing these sections on other pages? I'd like to get your take on if celebrity endorsements fits on any watch manufacturer's page at all. User talk:The Aviator22 — Preceding undated comment added 13:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I have now learnt about our paywall policy. Thank you for signposting me to this. Please note that all the links in the section are broken now.

Photo edit removed

Hello, I had put a photo of myself and my daughter under playground but our faces were not visible. I noticed other photo entries had people in the under that article. Can you help clarify this for me as to the rules on people in photos. Thank you. John P Salvatore (talk) 17:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• User:John P Salvatore: The presence of people was irrelevant. There are simply way too many more images in the article already than is justified. Please see WP:GALLERY. It is also viewed here as borderline conflict-of-interest editing to put pictures of one's own self and/or family members into the encyclopedia. You may meet with more success on WP:COMMONS, where editors from all other Wikipedias (in different languages) can come for images. I do not really know how the mechanics of that work since I've never uploaded images; I recommend you ask the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE, who collectively have much more technical acumen in this regard than I do.

Also, please be aware that photo captions should be written in sentence case, not title case. It is good to look at a lot of articles and see how things are done before attempting it yourself. I don't remember the exact language, but you had a photo uploaded that you captioned something like "Thorn Trees on Kansas Riverbank", which should have been rendered as "Thorn trees on Kansas riverbank". See MOS:SENTENCECASE for the Manual of Style guidance on this issue. Thanks. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 17:57, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick response and helpful answer. John P Salvatore (talk) 18:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 May newsletter

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

• The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
• Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
• Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
• Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
• Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
• Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
• Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
• Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Elaeocarpus bancroftii

Hello Julietdeltalima,

Appreciate your work. Can you give me an explanation for your last edit to Elaeocarpus bancroftii please? I regularly use this way to add information about Australian plant collectors to plant articles. If you can convince me that it is "inappropriate" I will desist from doing so in future. (Watching here.) Gderrin (talk) 00:53, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

I’m having too difficult a time flipping back and forth between diffs on my phone to do a precise response, but there was inconsistent numerical pronoun agreement that was solved by the deletion of those two or three words. Parenthetical phrases almost never need to be set off by other punctuation (that’s what the parentheses are for) and that’s why I deleted the commas. Take care - Julietdeltalima (talk) 01:46, 23 May 2021 (UTC) Julietdeltalima (talk) 01:46, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Sorry - this is not about grammar, punctuation or syntax, but deletion of a link in the article to this external site. This is important because in his paper, Ferdinand von Mueller only gave "Dr. Bancroft, jun." whereas the Australian National Botanic Gardens site acknowledges the collector of the type specimen as Thomas Lane Bancroft. There is no rush for an answer. Whenever it's convenient, I'd like to know why including the link was "inappropriate". Gderrin (talk) 02:03, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 July newsletter

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:

• The Rambling Man, with 1825 points from 3 featured articles, 44 featured article reviews, 14 good articles, 30 good article reviews and 10 DYKs. In addition, he completed a 34-article good topic on the EFL Championship play-offs.
• Epicgenius, a New York specialist, with 1083 points from 2 featured article reviews, 18 good articles, 30 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
• Bloom6132, with 869 points from 11 DYKs, all with bonus points, and 54 "In the news" items, mostly covering people who had recently died.

We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

Revert on Elan School

You reverted an edit I made on Élan School about an autobiographical comic. Your revert message proposes that I might be that this is due to an "inappropriate self-citation". I went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reverting#When_to_revert to check if this kind of revert is appropriate. I do not think it is. I am not linked to the author of that comic, I am simply a reader who believes this is material that is worth linking to. Can you please explain what issue you are trying to solve by reverting this addition? Please consider instead improving the other point of criticism you made which was that the link was set inline. --Erdpferd (talk) 16:47, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

It's not the subject of a Wikipedia article, and thus not demonstrably notable. Please take this to WP:TEAHOUSE for further advice (I do not have further time to explain this at the moment). Thanks. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 17:52, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

How in the world did you arrive so fast to fix that? You'd never even edited the page before! I knew I was probably using the wrong hyphen (can't for the life of me remember what the MOS is on those kinds of things) but I figured it would take longer than that lol... —valereee (talk) 18:01, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

hahaha! I have it on my watchlist just because a couple of old friends are from southern Ohio and are veritable crusaders for Cincinnati chili. It's such a weird concept to me that it's fascinating! - Julietdeltalima (talk) 18:04, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

That is hilarious! I'm in Cincinnati, and that article was one of the first I spent major time and energy on because when I arrived there (wow, over six years ago), I discovered it was being called a type of chili con carne! Quelle horreur! And the other editors there, when I asked for a source saying that, tried to tell me I was asking for sources on WP:BLUESKY. :D —valereee (talk) 18:22, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Julietdeltalima,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

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 or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

• Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
• AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
• Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
• GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
• Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
• SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
• Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

1. Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
2. AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
3. Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
6. Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
7. Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello Julietdeltalima,

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 818 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 846 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.
