Hello, I'm Donner60. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Relationship of Eve Polastri and Villanelle seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 03:10, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 02:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Gerald Bareebe
Hello Citrivescence. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Gerald Bareebe, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: claims significance, text is only slightly promotional in tone and can be fixed by editing. Thank you. SoWhy 08:26, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi Citrivescence. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Minor user rights can now be accorded on a time limited or probationary period, so do check back at WP:PERM/NPR in case this concerns your application. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance. so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Swarm {talk} 19:47, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Could you elaborate on what aspects you view as undersourced? All statements are reliably sourced and demonstrate her notability. Thanks, StudiesWorld (talk) 12:09, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Rafaelgalupa (talk) 16:03, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
This is a response to your message of "COI disclosure request". I declare that I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits to the Native Scientist page, nor any other page in Wikipedia. I am unsure about what might have given this impression and would be happy to have further clarification on this. I created this page some time ago and it has been tagged as "This article contains content that is written like an advertisement", so I made edits to try make it as neutral as possible.
- @Rafaelgalupa: Thank you for responding. I'm a new page reviewer and that message is a standard response to send to a user if a page contains mostly promotional information, as the Native Scientist page does. As written it will need more reliable, independent sources or it will be deleted. Citrivescence (talk) 21:57, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Citrivescence: Thanks a lot for your answer. I understand that the page needs independent sources, I will work on this to hopefully avoid that the page gets deleted. Rafaelgalupa (talk) 23:04, 28 December 2018 (UTC+1)

rev-del request on Rebecca Gomperts
Hi, thank you for the vigilance on looking for copyvios. However in the request at Rebecca Gomperts I don't think the need for rev-del is there. The content is fairly minimal and as Wikipedia:Plagiarism#What is not plagiarism bullet point 3 says simple, non-creative lists of information that are common knowledge. If the list is drawn from another source (i.e., it is not common knowledge), or if creativity has gone into producing a list by selecting which facts are included, or in which order they are listed, then reproducing the list without citing its source may constitute plagiarism.
Here the material is sourced and the non-neutral terms like "controversial" were omitted and not used in any event. If you disagree with me, then fine as it's only my interpretation of the policy and you can ask for another opinion at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. It's another matter entirely as to whether or not the detailed information needed to be in the article in the first place and not anything I offer an opinion on. Nthep (talk) 12:38, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Nthep: Thank you for letting me know! I'm not very familiar with the copyvio guidelines so this is very helpful.
Move to draft space
I notice that you moved a biography to draft space citing insufficient sourcing. I understood that as a minimum biogs of people that are alive need one source. This person is dead and the article has three sources. Is there a new minimum? Why was this missed out on an AFD as it has effectively been deleted. I intend to move it back today. Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thirst Aid Kit
Hello Citrivescence,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Thirst Aid Kit for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

- I'm genuinely confused by the CSD. I'm a new page reviewer and understand the criteria. This page meets notability guidelines as demonstrated by the citations in reliable sources. The credible claim of significance is verified by its being named to multiple "best of" podcast lists. Can you please explain why the page was nominated? Citrivescence (talk) 06:01, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- I don't see how it's notable. See WP:WEB. TomCat4680 (talk) 06:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- @TomCat4680: The article meets WP:WEBCRIT because notability is established via multiple independent, reliable sources. Can you please look at the references and let me know if I am mistaken? Citrivescence (talk) 06:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hi, I'm looking for articles to feature on the main page in the DYK section during Black History Month. Are you planning to nominate this article, or would you like me to? Also, would you be able to identify her as African-American in the lead, perhaps provide a citation in the biography section? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 12:15, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- BTW, non-free images at Flicker show her performing in 2018 without a mask: [1], [2]. Yoninah (talk) 12:18, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Yes, please do nominate it. I will update the header with a source stating that she's Black American. Also, please note that in the first image, Lekeili is in the background with the the bandana, not the foreground. As for the second one, we have no way to verify that it's her even though it's labelled with her name. I'm inclined to believe it isn't her since she doesn't perform without a covering, essentially as a rule. It's possible that the photographer, who seems to be a professional, just got the name wrong. Citrivescence (talk) 01:21, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. I'll get to it on Saturday. Yoninah (talk) 01:24, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Leikeli47
On 23 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Leikeli47, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that African-American rapper Leikeli47 always masks her face while performing, saying it makes her feel "free"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Leikeli47. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Leikeli47), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

NPR Newsletter No.17
Hello Citrivescence,
- News
- The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.
- Discussions of interest
- Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
- {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
- A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
- There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
- Reminders
- NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
- NPP Tools Report
- Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
- copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
- The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Removing a notability tag
I noticed you removed the notability tag from Muriel Leung with this edit: [3]. I'm curious why you removed it without engaging in the ongoing discussion on the article's talk page or addressing any of the issues raised there, such as the unreliable sourcing, citation bombing, and other indications that the subject does not actually meet our notability guidelines. Would you mind explaining your edit? Thanks. Bakazaka (talk) 09:17, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Bakazaka: I didn't realize a discussion was taking place on the talk page, so I wasn't intentionally ignoring the discussion. I'm a new page reviewer, and often other people will tag a page to indicate notability is questionable without a talk page discussion. I removed the tag because I considered that between the PBS article, the Publisher's Weekly review, and the award from a notable organization, her notability is established via the book. Citrivescence (talk) 00:55, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- As I noted on the talk page, it's possible an article about the book is notable under WP:NBOOK, but the author does not meet WP:AUTHOR. The award is a small press contest in which the winner gets published, and the Pushcart Prize nomination means nothing for Wikipedia notability (almost every literary magazine nominates stuff published in their magazine). One reason I know these details is because I did the work to find and vet reliable sources, which the article creator has subsequently blasted with citation spam in order to puff up the article. So, to business: do you object to me replacing the notability tag? Alternatively, would you support changing the article about the author into an article about the book? Bakazaka (talk) 01:02, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Bakazaka: Thank you for the rundown. I think either is fine; by all means, replace the tag. I do disagree that the Pushcart Prize is not notable, and think that designation should be determined based on group consensus. Citrivescence (talk) 18:44, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I've restored the notability tag. I agree that winning a Pushcart Prize is an indicator of notability. A single nomination is not, given the low threshold for nomination (see [4]). Bakazaka (talk) 18:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Deleting a new page without explanation
You deleted the page The Gay Rub without offering any explanation for why you did so or engaging in any discussion on the talk page. Please can you let me know the reasoning behind removing it? Thanks.Kazrene (talk) 19:30, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Kazrene
- @Kazrene: Sure. The page was not deleted, it was redirected. The topic exists on another page, and the content was substantially similar enough for a merge. I'm a new page reviewer and those are the instructions we are given if a topic exists elsewhere. New page reviewers don't need to start a discussion for a merge/redirect, so I didn't. Hope that helps. Citrivescence (talk) 22:16, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
I would disagree that this content was "substantially similar" and necessitated a merge. Although Steven Reigns created the Gay Rub (and that information is, rightly, given on his page), the project has an independent existence. It is also categorized differently to the Reigns page (a living person biography) in that it contains information that is useful to people researching LGBT history, monument markers, persons commemorated in those markers etc. The LGBT history category is quite thin on Wikipedia as it is. Much of the Gay Rub information is not relevant to the Reigns page and may well be deleted by future editors. I believe you have also now flagged the Reigns page as needing editing - again without explanation or suggestions on the talk page – so this is likely to happen. The Gay Rub page is effectively deleted (there's no way to access it, or any of the edits or previous discussion, it just redirects). It would have been more helpful to have a discussion about the validity of the page while it still existed. I propose that you restore the Gay Rub as a separate page so that a fruitful discussion can take place. It would also be extremely helpful if you could highlight specific issues with the Reigns page so they can be corrected. Thanks Kazrene (talk) 17:57, 11 April 2019 (UTC)Kazrene
- @Kazrene: Again, I am a new page reviewer and followed protocol; the topic existed elsewhere so I merged the content. The history actually can be accessed; when you go to a redirect, there is a link at the top of the redirected page that takes you to the initial page. The revision history, including all the edits, can be accessed there. I'm not going to restore the page because I'm confident in my actions. You can feel free to remove the redirect but you should prepare for the likelihood that the same thing will happen by a different new page reviewer. If you want to get other editors' perspectives, you can check out WP:VP. Citrivescence (talk) 19:44, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Derek S. Green tag
Hi. I noticed you recently put a copyedit tag on the article for Derek S. Green. Your reason was "tone" but you did not provide any additional information in the tag or on the talk page, and I'm not sure what you find problematic. As it is a relatively short stub, could you please identify what issues there are with tone in the article so that it can be improved and the tag removed? Thanks.

deletion of Princeton Area Community Foundation
hi Citrivescence,
I see you speedily deleted the page for the Princeton Area Community Foundation because it was not clear why it was worthy of a wikipedia page. I unfortunately did not see your notice until it was too late to contest it. The Princeton Area Community Foundation is a community foundation that notably contributes to the public good. The work of the PACF is reported about in multiple news outlets. (see citations) Perhaps I did not clearly explain it's note-worthiness well enough in the wiki article, my apologies. Could you email me the code and give a chance to clarify it or revive it as a draft?
Please read this article if you are still unclear why community foundations are important and newsworthy. It is from the NYtimes and quotes a former president of the PACF: https://www.nytimes.com/1994/01/30/nyregion/foundations-help-without-fanfare.html
One question: Why speedily delete vs a non-speedily delete?
Thank you for your time --Mrgarden 2342 (talk) 19:09, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Mrgarden 2342: Thank you for the message. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what code you're referring to. Nonetheless, the reason the page was speedily deleted was because it did not express significance as outlined by WP:A7. In addition, my personal feelings about community foundations didn't play a role. I am a new page reviewer and if the significance of an article is not asserted, we are to mark the page for speedy deletion, so, that's why I speedily deleted the page instead of using a different deletion process. Finally, I think it would be useful for you to read a couple of essays that explain what content is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia according to current guidelines: WP:WORTHYCAUSE and WP:NERROR have been useful to me. If you are able to produce independent, reliable sources with significant coverage then you should absolutely recreate the article. Thank you! Citrivescence (talk) 23:16, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
NPR Newsletter No.18
Hello Citrivescence,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
- Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
- Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
- Reliable Sources for NPP
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
- Backlog drive coming soon
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.
- News
- Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.
- Discussions of interest
- A request for bot approval for a bot to patrol two kinds of redirects
- There has been a lot discussion about Notability of Academics
- What, if anything, would a SNG for Softball look like

Ways to improve Carly Usdin
Hello, Citrivescence,
Thanks for creating Carly Usdin! I edit here too, under the username FULBERT and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-
It would be helpful if the sections were expanded into paragraphs rather than only single sections or bullet points.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|FULBERT}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Your draft article, User:Citrivescence/Benji Aflalo
Hello, Citrivescence. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Benji Aflalo".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (📧) 16:30, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019
Hello Citrivescence,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
- QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
- Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
- Move to draft
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
- Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
- PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
- Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jharrel Jerome, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Afro-Dominican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Mitra Jouhari.png
A tag has been placed on File:Mitra Jouhari.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 15:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Did I miss something? - You seem to be quite careful about licensing and noting the source for files. But in this instance, I can find no Creative Commons license listed at the source page or within the video itself. -- Whpq (talk) 15:43, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
@Whpq: Hi, yes, I think there is a misunderstanding. I think the issue is that the license is hidden on the page. Directly below the title of the video there is a clickable text that says "More" and if you click that you'll see the license. The license is Attribution 3.0 Unported, see here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/. Please let me know if you're able to locate the license. Thanks! --Citrivescence (talk) 18:07, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- My goodness they did a fine job of hiding the license. My apologies. I had clicked on the "read more" in the description, "show more" in the side bar and reviewed the credits in the film itself but did not find the license. I missed the "more" under the title. For the edification of anybody reading this talk page, there is no copyright violation. With the helpful instructions above, I can now see the Creative Commons license. I am going to request that the image be restored. And once again apologies for any troubles this might have caused. -- Whpq (talk) 18:19, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- I have submitted a refund request. -- Whpq (talk) 18:27, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Eddie Shin
I think this article deserves a full AFD discussion. Shin has had a productive career with recurring roles in some major television series. For the time being, I've stubbed the page and added a couple of references, but I haven't done any serious searching for sources.
Keep in mind that I created this article in 2005, which was a very different time for Wikipedia. Of course, the vast bulk of the content was added by other users. Zagalejo^^^ 02:04, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

The article is a bit too reliant on interview-based sources to solidly establish that notability guidelines have been met. That having been said, an internet search suggested to me that you could likely find enough independent coverage out there.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello Citrivescence,
- Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
- Coordinator
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
- This month's refresher course
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
- Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
- Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
- Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
- Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
- Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
- Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.
