Orphaned non-free image File:Calgary Sun (front page).jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Calgary Sun (front page).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Gobonobo,

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 The former script is no longer maintained.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.

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If 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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Esquire magazine April 1968.png

Thank you for uploading File:Esquire magazine April 1968.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Please allow my page.

I do understand that my sources weren't sufficient, and my page does not provide with sufficient info, but this is all I can get. This is all I can do. Please, if there is any other problem, other than the ones mentioned above, please inform. If it complies with all other rules, please allow my page. RandomPenguin24 (talk) 09:48, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

@RandomPenguin24: You only provided two sources for your article (Draft:Moolans Group). Both are links to that company's websites. Please see WP:YFA for an explanation of the kind of sources we require. Thanks, gobonobo + c 14:28, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi.
I do not promote nor endorse this business, and those were the only sources I could find. please don't consider this as an advertisement. I go to a supermarket chain owned by this company. I was curious about this company, and I wanted to create a Wikipedia page. Soon, after going to their websites, I understood that they were owned by the Moolans group. Then I searched for their history, and this is all that I found. Please, if you can, allow this page. RandomPenguin24 (talk) 15:31, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
What should I do if only the company provides the sources RandomPenguin24 (talk) 15:32, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
@RandomPenguin24: Unfortunately, if those are the only sources about the company, then it does not qualify for a Wikipedia article. Our notability guideline requires multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. See WP:NCORP for a more detailed explanation of notability guidelines for corporations. gobonobo + c 15:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, anyways, Thank You for your help. RandomPenguin24 (talk) 15:41, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Taxobox parameters

Hi, when you use {{Speciesbox}} without specifying the taxon, as you did at Clitocybula ellipsospora, the taxobox may appear to work (because it uses the page title), but not everything does work – for example, the page title doesn't get italicized. Use either |taxon= or |genus=+|species=. Thanks! Peter coxhead (talk) 07:54, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Sure thing. Thank you Peter. gobonobo + c 13:29, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for expanding the article. Out of curiosity, do you read Polish, or are you just more confident than I am in trusting Google Translate or similar? (Perhaps my problem is that I still remember the essay I wrote about machine translation when I was at Library School - but that was about 48 years ago, and there has been progress!) PamD 18:35, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi PamD. Thank you for starting her article. I was working on a draft for Szuman when I saw that you beat me to it, so I added what I had scrapped together rather than throwing it all out. I'm not fluent in Polish, but was leaning on one of my classmates for help with the biographical essay from the Borowska-Beszta book. It has far more detail on her life than the Polish Wikipedia article or any English language sources I have access to. Relatedly, I think that when Szuman was born, Torun would have been part of Prussia, and not Poland. gobonobo + c 20:25, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Replaceable non-free use File:Arnold Rothstein.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Arnold Rothstein.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

DYK for My Tender Matador

On 29 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article My Tender Matador, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the historical-romance novel My Tender Matador includes a fictionalized version of the attempted assassination of Augusto Pinochet? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/My Tender Matador. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, My Tender Matador), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.
