The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art
Hello; You recently reviewed the new article The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art, Culture & Industry, and you placed a tag on the article indicating it needs more references. I have since added more references, and a little more content. Would you mind reviewing the article again to determine if the references are adequate, and let me know if you think the article should be labeled a "stub" article, or a "start" article? If the references are not adequate, please let me know what you think would be helpful. Thank you.OvertAnalyzer (talk) 03:44, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- @OvertAnalyzer: Thanks. I've now rated it as a C-class article (you can see this on the talk-page). The references used are reliable and fine for the subject and I've removed the {{More citations needed}} tag, good job on the article. If you want to improve the article further (i.e. B-class) I recommend taking a stroll through Wikipedia:Content assessment. dibbydib boop or snoop 04:49, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Dibbydib: Thank you for you help.OvertAnalyzer (talk) 05:02, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello Dibbydib,
- 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.

TCO Certified COI
Hi Dibbydib, User Ellasoderberg (talk · contribs) followed all procedures for the creation of this article, flagged herself and discussion page with a COI, asked in the tea house for help in writing this article, did a draft in her userspace, asked for the draft to be read and where neccessary corrected. I don't feel a big COI stamp is warranted on this article. It contains numerous sources, has no personal bias and has been cleaned sufficiently. P.S. if you see a spelling mistake, be a good citizen and clean it instead of leaving a flag about it ;) Fthobe (talk) 13:05, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Fthobe: Thanks. I re-reviewed the article and its COI. The creator of the page has disclosed it, and seems to know what they're doing on Wikipedia. Big kudos to Ellasoderberg who did this very responsibly. I've since removed the tag off of the article. dibbydib 23:34, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you so much Fthobe and Dibbydib for helping me with this article! Ellasoderberg (talk) 09:09, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion response
Hi.
Please avoid using simply "Delete, per nom and above votes. Nothing really notable about this one." in deletion discussions. As the name implies, these are discussions, not votes. Explain how it is not notable. Please remember to "...explain how the article meets/violates policy rather than merely stating that it meets/violates the policy." (from WP:AFDFORMAT).

, or {{db-g13}}

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello Dibbydib,
- 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 |
3 | John B123 (talk) | 21,697 | Patrol Page Curation |
4 | Onel5969 (talk) | 19,879 | Patrol Page Curation |

6 | Mcampany (talk) | 9,103 | Patrol Page Curation |
7 | DragonflySixtyseven (talk) | 6,401 | Patrol Page Curation |
8 | Mccapra (talk) | 4,918 | Patrol Page Curation |
9 | Hughesdarren (talk) | 4,520 | 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.

- Voting in the m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021 is ongoing until December 21, 2020. There are 15 proposals in the "bots and gadgets" category that may be of interest.
- A script to help list discussions at WP:ANRFC (request)
- A script to allow undoing edits despite conflicting intermediary edits (request)
- ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests
- The Watchlist Expiry feature worked on by the Community Tech team has been enabled on Wikipedia. For scripts that include watching or unwatching pages, developers may want to update their code to take advantage of the new functionality. See the documentation on mediawiki.org.
- As noted in the prior issue, Enterprisey's links-in-logs script has now been implemented as part of MediaWiki core. By my count, this is his third script that was replaced by implementing the code in MediaWiki core or an extension, along with link-section-edits and abusefilter-hide-search. Additionally, his reply-link script is being converted in part to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools. Are there any other scripts that might be worth integrating directly in MediaWiki? Thoughts would be welcome at Wikipedia talk:Scripts++.
As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy holidays! --DannyS712 (talk) 00:19, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
