Session 1 - Questions

Thank you @DreamRimmer for accepting me as your trainee and for being my trainer. I have a few questions after reading the NPP tutorial guide.

Question 1: Even though it's clear that a draft has a COI or UPE, is it necessary to warn (by using Twinkle) the editor before tagging it for unambiguous promotion under G11?

Question 2: If a page has been nominated for AFD in the past and reappears in the NPP feed, can we bypass WP:6MONTHS and nominate it for AFD again?

Question 3: If an editor creates an article in one language wiki and later uses a translation tool to translate it into an English wiki page, do they need to attribute themselves?

Question 4: "CSD:G5 A page created before the ban or block was imposed or after it was lifted will not qualify under this criterion. This excludes pages created in violation of general sanctions." How can we determine if a page was created in violation of general sanctions, especially if it appears in the NPP feed? Charlie (talk) 03:05, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m here to help with any doubts and answer all your questions. But first, please edit the main training page and add explanations in your own words. For example, Part 1 covers notability, so try giving your take on those points. – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I understand now. I will finish part 1 first. Charlie (talk) 04:08, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer just completed part 1. Charlie (talk) 04:02, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CharlieMehta, take your time finishing the other parts. I'll take a look when I get a chance. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Charlie (talk) 01:54, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer I am mostly done with the mandatory sections of all the parts. Charlie (talk) 11:01, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming expiry of my patroller rights

Dear @DreamRimmer, I have been informed that my "patroller" rights are set to expire on 2024-09-11 at 00:00:00. I will need to renew them at WP:PERM unless you provide feedback or decide to extend my training. If you believe I am not ready, I won’t pursue renewal. Please let me know your thoughts. Charlie (talk) 13:21, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CharlieMehta, apologies for being busy over the past few days and not noticing it. Your training isn't complete yet. I'll review your answers tomorrow and provide you with some more questions. It's up to you whether you want to renew your NPR now or wait until the training is complete. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:41, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer You have the final say. I will seek renewal for two or three more month. And unless I receive your approval, I won’t request permanent patroller rights. Thank you for helping me. Charlie (talk) 15:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest waiting until you complete the training. After that, you can make your request based on what works best for you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:27, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. Thanks for the suggestion. Charlie (talk) 16:11, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @DreamRimmer, I wanted to inform you that my NPP rights have expired today, so I won't be able to test any suggestions or complete future assignments that may require the AFCH helper script. However, I will do my best to answer any questions on this traineeship page based on my readings and understanding. If you have any advice on how I can contribute further in this situation, I would greatly appreciate it. Charlie (talk) 12:10, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CharlieMehta, I am currently working on a new tool. I will add a few questions in the next couple of hours. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:09, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CharlieMehta, please check training page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:59, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer I have just finished the first assignment, which involved working on two pages suggested by you. Charlie (talk) 14:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you so much DreamRimmer for patiently guiding me at NPP school. Passing this evaluation feels like a huge milestone, and I truly couldn’t have done it without your expertise and motivation. Charlie (talk) 10:52, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations once again! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question about one of the recent NPP assignments. Could you please review and let me know if my nomination for AfD on Aanchal Kumar's page is correct? I want to ensure that my understanding is accurate and conduct is appropriate. If it's not, could you tell me where I should focus more to be better in future AfDs? One more thing, although you have more experience and deeper knowledge about Wikipedia, but just for the record that you should not participate in that AfD. Otherwise, we would both be in violation of WP:CANVASS. Charlie (talk) 15:55, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CharlieMehta: I don't see anything wrong with your assessment, but since the article is currently at AfD, I'll hold off on commenting. Just keep in mind that if you nominate an article for deletion and then discover there are enough sources to meet the notability criteria, you can always withdraw your nomination. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:11, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer I checked and double checked and I couldn’t find any significant reason to withdraw. If there had been one, I would have promptly acted on it, as I have done before in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Maverick Effect and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Govind_Dholakia. When this AfD concludes, please share your thoughts on it. Charlie (talk) 16:17, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer this assignment-led AfD felt quite discouraging and dispiriting. Rules were being interpreted according to personal preferences for pages that are more likely to have been created or managed in manipulative ways. Anyway, I just moved onto CVUA training, wish me luck. Charlie (talk) 17:06, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CharlieMehta: As I mentioned earlier, I don't see any issues with your nomination of Aanchal Kumar for deletion. I conducted a before search and found only sources discussing her marriage to businessman Anupam Mittal. She is a pageant titleholder, having won the Gladrags Manhunt and Megamodel Contest, and represented India at Miss Intercontinental 1999. The Majority of the sources cited for these claims are interviews, and most are published by helpdesks rather than individual authors, although sources confirm that she won this contest. That said, since there is a consensus that winning Gladrags Manhunt and Megamodel Contest meets the notability criteria for ANYBIO, she should be considered notable. I also noticed that you have nominated other articles for deletion. I would recommend conducting a thorough before search before nominating articles for deletion in the future. Sometimes, if you are in doubt about the notability of an article, feel free to nominate it for deletion or leave it for other reviewers. Lastly, I wish you the best of luck in your future Wikipedia journey. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer This NPP training taught me the importance of staying grounded and approaching page reviews with a clear, unbiased perspective, always assuming good faith in others' contributions. It’s been a valuable reminder to be thoughtful and objective throughout the process. I will definitely stay in touch and reach out whenever I have questions or any doubt through your talk page. Thanks again for everything! Charlie (talk) 14:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
