  • Solo quiero ampliar mi comentario en ANI. Tu apoyo fue muy importante para mí; probablemente te pareció trivial en ese momento, pero yo estaba empezando a crear contenido y tú dedicaste un poco de tiempo y esfuerzo para alentarme; eso marcó la diferencia. Haz lo que quieras, por supuesto, pero debes saber que hay personas que equiparan "SkyGazer 512" con "un tipo total". Saludos Girth Summit (blather) 20:27, 14 de abril de 2020 (UTC) [ responder ]
Gracias a ambos por las amables palabras. Me he divertido mucho editando aquí y, en general, he tenido muy buenas interacciones con la comunidad, así que dudo que pueda abandonar por completo la edición aquí, pero, de nuevo, no sé a dónde me llevará la vida en los próximos años. Girth , sé que he estado fuera de contacto aquí por un tiempo porque todavía te considero un editor relativamente nuevo, pero aparentemente ahora tienes 5 GA, un FA, casi 40 000 ediciones y te has convertido en administrador. ¡Felicitaciones! También aprecio la parte que agregaste sobre nuestras interacciones al principio y tu primer DYK; no solo ayudar a la enciclopedia, sino también ayudar a los nuevos editores es algo por lo que me esforcé aquí y todavía lo hago en Minecraft Wiki, la wiki actual que edito. Y sí... "tipo total" es definitivamente un título al que podría acostumbrarme. ;) Saludos, -- SkyGazer 512 Mi página de discusión 02:56, 15 de abril de 2020 (UTC) [ responder ]
SkyGazer 512 , sí, bueno... ¡No hago las cosas a medias! Es algo que todos deberíamos intentar recordar: unas cuantas palabras de aliento de alguien con más experiencia pueden marcar la diferencia para alguien que recién comienza. Sigan haciéndolo en Minecraft Wiki, nuestra pérdida es su ganancia. Feliz edición... Girth Summit (blather) 08:23, 15 de abril de 2020 (UTC) [ responder ]
También fuiste una influencia positiva para mí :) Todavía recuerdo cuánto me ayudaste cuando era un editor relativamente nuevo y hacía preguntas en Teahouse y aquí en tu página de discusión [1]. Mis contribuciones de contenido no son tan sustanciales como las de Girth Summit , pero terminé mejorando el artículo que me ayudaste a nominar para DYK Katherine Hughes (activista) en una GA. Te deseo la mejor de las suertes en la vida real. Clover moss (discusión) 21:27 20 may 2022 (UTC) [ responder ]

Boletín de noticias de New Page Reviewer de junio de 2020

Hola SkyGazer 512,

Tu ayuda puede hacer la diferencia

La clasificación de NPP puede ser una excelente manera de encontrar páginas que necesiten un nuevo control de páginas que coincida con sus puntos fuertes e intereses. Con ORES, divide los artículos en temas como Literatura o Química y Geografía. Eche un vistazo y vea si puede encontrar tiempo para controlar un par de páginas al día. Con más de 10 000 páginas en cola, la mayor cantidad desde ACPERM , su ayuda realmente podría marcar la diferencia.

Google añade nuevos idiomas a Google Translate

A fines de febrero, Google agregó cinco idiomas nuevos a Google Translate: kinyarwanda, oriya, tártaro, turcomano y uigur. Esto amplía nuestra capacidad para encontrar y evaluar fuentes en esos idiomas.

Boletín informativo de diciembre de New Page Patrol

Hola SkyGazer 512,

Un gráfico de la cola de patrulla de la nueva página de 2020

Resumen del año

Ha sido un año productivo para New Page Patrol, ya que hemos reducido aproximadamente a la mitad el tamaño de la cola de New Page Patrol este año. Hemos tenido la suerte de contar con un gran trabajo realizado por Rosguill , quien fue el revisor de la mayoría de las páginas y redirecciones el año pasado. Gracias y crédito para JTtheOG y Onel5969 que se unen a Rosguill para repetir en el top 10 del año pasado. Gracias a John B123 , Hughesdarren y Mccapra , quienes obtuvieron el permiso de NPR este año y se unieron al top 10. También nuevo en el top ten está DannyS712 bot III, programado por DannyS712 que ha ayudado a reducir drásticamente la cantidad de redirecciones que han necesitado patrullaje humano al patrullar ciertos tipos de redirecciones (por ejemplo, para diferencias en acentos) y también al patrullar a los editores que están en la lista blanca de redirecciones .

Revisor del año

John B123 ha sido nombrado revisor del año 2020. John ha tenido el permiso durante poco más de 6 meses y, en ese tiempo, ha ayudado a reducir la cola de revisión al revisar más de 18 000 artículos. Su página de discusión muestra sus esfuerzos por comunicarse con los usuarios, defendiendo el objetivo de NPP de fomentar nuevos usuarios y priorizar la calidad sobre la cantidad.

Premio al Logro Técnico de la Central Nuclear

Como reconocimiento especial y agradecimiento, DannyS712 ha recibido el primer premio NPP Technical Achievement Award. Su trabajo en la programación del bot nos ha ayudado enormemente a controlar las redirecciones: más de 60 000 redirecciones el año pasado. Esta ha sido una gran contribución a New Page Patrol y definitivamente es digna de reconocimiento.

Únase a esta discusión : hay un aumento en el abuso de Wikipedia y sus procesos por parte de promotores de puntos de vista, editores pagos y titulares de varios derechos de usuario, incluido Autopatrolled . Incluso nuestros propios sistemas de revisión en AfC y NPR han sido infiltrados. La buena noticia es que la detección está mejorando, pero la desventaja es que crea la necesidad de una gran limpieza, lo que, por supuesto, aumenta los retrasos.

Las violaciones de derechos de autor también son un problema grave. La mayoría de los colaboradores no habituales no entienden por qué, y la mayoría de nuestros revisores no son expertos en leyes de derechos de autor (y no se puede esperar que lo sean), pero hay excelentes consejos fáciles de seguir sobre la detección de COPYVIO aquí .

En el momento de la última newsletter (#25, diciembre de 2020), el atraso era de apenas 2000 artículos. New Page Review es un sistema oficial. Es el único cortafuegos contra la inclusión de páginas nuevas e inapropiadas.

Actualmente hay 706 revisores de páginas nuevas y otros 1.080 administradores, pero casi el 90% del patrullaje aún lo realizan aproximadamente los 20 patrulleros más habituales.

Si ya no eres muy activo en Wikipedia o ya no deseas formar parte del grupo de usuarios de New Page Reviewer, considera pedirle a cualquier administrador que te elimine de la lista. Esto permitirá que NPP tenga una mejor visión general de su desempeño y de qué mejoras se deben realizar en el proceso o en su software.

Se deben asignar varios premios antes de fin de año y los Barnstars están atrasados. Si desea gestionar esto, infórmenos. De hecho, si está interesado en coordinar NPR, no requiere mucho tiempo y las tareas se describen aquí .

Boletín informativo de New Page Patrol de mayo de 2022

Nueva cola de revisión de páginas de marzo de 2022

Hola SkyGazer 512,

En el momento de la última newsletter (n.º 26, septiembre de 2021), el atraso era de "solo" un poco más de 6000 artículos. En los últimos seis meses, el atraso ha alcanzado casi 16 000, un nivel asombroso que no se había visto en varios años. Un número muy pequeño de usuarios había estado realizando la gran mayoría de las revisiones. Debido al "agotamiento", recientemente hemos perdido la mayor parte de este esfuerzo. Además, a varios revisores se les ha quitado el derecho de usuario por abuso de privilegios y los artículos que revisaban se han vuelto a poner en cola.

En la página de discusión se han producido varios debates sobre el estado del proceso , pero no se ha tomado ninguna medida para introducir cambios. Además, el proyecto carece de coordinación, ya que el "puesto" está vacante.

En los últimos 30 días, solo 100 revisores han realizado más de 8 patrullas y solo 50 han realizado una revisión por día en promedio. Actualmente hay 816 revisores de páginas nuevas, pero aproximadamente un tercio no ha tenido actividad en el último mes. Los 847 administradores tienen este permiso, pero solo una docena contribuyen significativamente a NPP.

Esto significa que contamos con un grupo activo de aproximadamente 450 personas para abordar el trabajo atrasado. No podemos depender de unos pocos para hacer la mayor parte del trabajo, ya que eso inevitablemente conduce al agotamiento. Un revisor con bastante experiencia generalmente puede hacer una revisión en unos pocos minutos. Si cada revisor activo revisara solo un artículo por día, el trabajo atrasado desaparecería muy rápidamente.

Si ha notado que algún usuario comprende bien la notabilidad y eliminación de Wikipedia, sugiérale que colabore en el esfuerzo colocando {{subst:NPR invite}} en su página de discusión.

Si ya no eres muy activo en Wikipedia o ya no deseas formar parte del grupo de usuarios de New Page Reviewer, considera pedirle a cualquier administrador que te elimine de la lista. Esto permitirá que NPP tenga una mejor visión general de su desempeño y de qué mejoras se deben realizar en el proceso y en su software.

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

New Page Review queue June 2022

Hello SkyGazer 512,

Backlog status

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[a] 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.[b]

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: 10604 articles, as of 16:00, 26 October 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.
  • To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
Notes
  1. ^ not including another ~6,000 redirects
  2. ^ The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello SkyGazer 512,

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.

Administrators' newsletter – October 2022

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2022).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
  • Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
  • Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.

Technical news

  • The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello SkyGazer 512,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022

Suggestions:

  • There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
  • Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
  • Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
  • This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello SkyGazer 512,

New Page Review queue December 2022
Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello SkyGazer 512,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

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 Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and 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 Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from 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).

Reminders

  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord and #wikimedia-npp connect on IRC.

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello SkyGazer 512,

New Page Review article queue, March to September 2023

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 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 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 New Page Patrol Discord.
  • Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hello SkyGazer 512:

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.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello SkyGazer 512,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

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 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 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

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. 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 NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

  • You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
  • Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
