DatBot reporting already blocked users to WP:UAA

The bot has been reporting a number of users that have already been reported and/or blocked to UAA, like this one of the bot reporting a user that had been blocked two days earlier. On IRC the bot coughed up a Labs replag too high, falling back to API message which might be the cause. Just thought I'd let you know so you were aware of this issue. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:51, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

DatBot not linking correctly?

Hi,

I noticed DatBot made this edit to AIV to report user:Chloethinksmakeupisgreatforaguy. However, instead of linking up this user's filter log it linked up this instead. Then when it reported user:MX player it did the same. Linked up this and not this?--5 albert square (talk) 16:54, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

@5 albert square: Ronhjones This should be fixed now. Dat GuyTalkContribs 11:57, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello DatGuy/Archives/2018, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

  • WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 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.

Deletion tags

  • Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

  • A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

  • There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

  • Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

  • The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

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, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

  • Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
  • The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Whoops, seems like Skynet has taken over. In all seriousness though, think it's related to the filter misreading variables. Dat GuyTalkContribs 11:56, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
I was only kidding! An admin already reverted the AIV report and made a filter false positive report on my behalf. --JustBerry (talk) 12:26, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
