[edit]Why did you unreview 2017 6 Hours of Bahrain?--Seacactus 13 (talk) 20:34, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Because I messed up... Note that I re-reviewed it seconds later. Sorry, Pichpich (talk) 20:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Ok, I didn't see that you re-reviewed it. It's fine, I wasn't mad, just wondered what your reason was.--Seacactus 13 (talk) 20:42, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
Liberalist
[edit]Why was Liberalist reverted? My addition before it was reverted was a 'not to be confused with' link. I do think that the Liberalist movement is important enough to need its own page, do you disagree or do you think it simply needed to be a more comprehensive article before we removed the reversion to liberalism?--ChekhovsGnu(talk)11:09, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- I firmly believe that readers searching for "liberalist" are more likely to be interested in the article on liberalism than in the fairly fringe views of Benjamin. Pichpich (talk) 07:16, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
"A Night in Malnéant" listed at Redirects for discussion
[edit]An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect "A Night in Malnéant". Since you had some involvement with the "A Night in Malnéant" redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 22:05, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Primefac (talk) 15:23, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello to both, can you please help. I am trying to write the page Canadians for Health Research without having massive pieces deleted after each review. How can I demonstrate that I have copyright permission? Also, the last edit I made contained a table and I am unsure why was it deleted.

Hello Pichpich. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kanutia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Contains sufficient content to be a stub. Thank you. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Tullinge TP FK
[edit]Hello, I just wanted to advise you that I have contested your proposed deletion of Tullinge TP FK, I have now done a little work on the article to add references and give a little more context that I believe now asserts notability. The team have appeared in the 2017-18 Svenska Cupen, i.e. the national cup competition of Swedish football, and as per WP:FOOTYN clubs meeting this criteria are generally assumed to be notable by the standards of WikiProject Football. Yes, that is an essay rather than a policy, but it is a generally agreed standard that has been supported by project members in previous deletion discussions.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
[edit]Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
- We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
New Year Backlog Drive results:
- We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!
General project update:
- ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
- Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

NPP Backlog Drive Review
[edit]Hi. looking over some your reviews from the recent backlog drive I saw that you did great work! One thing I would mention is that your use of maintenance tags seemed at bit sporadic. For example, from the dozen or so re-reviews I did; IndieWire Critics Poll, Monty Python's Flying Circus: Just the Words, and Rintaro_Tokunaga should have had some tags added (which I have now done). Nothing serious, as all are notable topics based on searches, just a bit of feedback. Cheers! — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 02:39, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
[edit]ACTRIAL:
- ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.
Paid editing
- Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, 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.
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. A further discussion is currently taking place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?
Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
- While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.
News
- The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
[edit]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.

Nomination of Charles I. Ecker for deletion
[edit]As a previous editor to the entry, I'm giving you a heads up that a discussion is taking place as to whether the article Charles I. Ecker is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles I. Ecker until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.Bangabandhu (talk) 16:41, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Brief Cases
[edit]Greetings.
I just got a notice that you reviewed Brief Cases, a redirect I made. May I ask what such an action means, and how does it affect page/redirects?
Thanks! OneShot010 (talk) 22:03, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @OneShot010:. Technically all new pages that are created by users without the autopatrolled permission are reviewed by someone with the Reviewer permission. The point is to ensure that newly created articles and redirects are basically ok and to clean up or submit for deletion those which are not. So there you go, I hereby declare that your redirect made perfect sense. :-) Pichpich (talk) 22:09, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining! OneShot010 (talk) 02:33, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
I reverted you, but didn't want to communicate in an edit summary, so messaging you here.
It was not a content fork, and you should read articles before redirecting them (wago is not a synonym for waka (poetry), and is used in entirely different contexts to refer to a slightly different category of words). The article as I left it was really short, so you didn't have much of an excuse for not reading it; in fact, I suspect you probably only redirected it because it was so short. That was my bad, and I apologize; I was distracted before I could expand it. If you want to expand it yourself, fire ahead; if you can't expand the content but want to fix the formatting issues by adding cats, etc., fire ahead.
Anyway, the article before I created the "content fork" was actually located at yamato kotoba, and I moved it specifically to make room for the new article; blanking the new article and redirecting it to the old one under the new title doesn't make sense, unless you actually agree with my page move but not the motivation behind the page move, which would be really weird.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Bplus-Class Chemistry articles
[edit]A tag has been placed on Category:Bplus-Class Chemistry articles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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.
Reason: Perpetually empty. B+ is not used by this wikiproject (or any wikiproject other than WP:WPMATH); see WP:WikiProject Chemistry/Assessment and Template:WikiProject Chemistry/doc#Parameters; attempting to assess a chemistry article as B+ will fail, so this category can never populate. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 16:07, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Pichpich, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
- New technology, new rules
- New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
- Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
- Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
- Editathons
- Editathons will continue through August. 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.
- The Signpost
- The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018
[edit]Hello Pichpich, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.
- Project news
- The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.
- As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
- There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks for more info to see if you can help out.
- Other
- A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.
- Moving to Draft and Page Mover
- Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
- If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
- Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
- The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
- The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

Hello Pichpich, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- Backlog
As of 21 October 2018[update], there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.
- Community Wishlist Proposal
- There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
- Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!
- Project updates
- ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
- There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.
- New scripts
- User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js(info) — A new script created for quickly placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

Frank Litsky / use of twitter as confirmation
[edit]Pichpich: I agree that currently there's no article (as of now) on Litsky's obit. My guess is the Times is currently writing one.

Art Aia - Creatives / In Residence
[edit]Hi Pichpich ,
An IP user had put the notability tag on Article Art Aia - Creatives / In / Residence. Do you think it is necessary to add additional sources in order to remove it ? Many thanks Neverstopthat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:40, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Well, to be honest, I don't think the tag is entirely without merit and I hesitated to place one myself. The references do backup specific claims (such as "artist X was there at some point") but only the first one really provides third-party coverage about Art Aia itself. So I'm ok with the tag remaining until more in-depth coverage can be found. Pichpich (talk) 20:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Pichpich , How about adding this reference coming from this source where Art Aia is discussed in depth at a broadcast dated 26/09/2018 from min 35.41 to min 46.24 ?(talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:54, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- I don't speak Italian so I can't say much about the content of that source and Google Translate is probably a few years away from translating audio! But the RAI is definitely a quality source so if it does have a 10 minute presentation of Art Aia, then I suggest you add it early in the article (in the lead paragraph for sure) and anywhere else where it can be used to verify the claims in the article (for instance, the "Venue" section has no references: could it be used there?). Adding this is probably enough to remove the notability tag. Pichpich (talk) 21:05, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Do you think would that provide enough coverage to remove the tag ? Neverstopthat (talk) 21:06, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- I think so. If the IP user reinserts the tag, we'll just start a discussion about it on the talk page of the article. Pichpich (talk) 21:07, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Ok thanks Pichpich . I wonder how long it would Google to create audio translator . I bet by 202Oth it will be release . Neverstopthat (talk) 21:11, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. |
Hello Pichpich,
- Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
- Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
- If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
- We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
- With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Hello Pichpich. I saw you moved this article back to the original title. Just a heads up that the naming convention for election articles (WP:NC-GAL) has just changed to put the year at the front. Most articles are going to be moved by a bot in the next few days, but any created after 1 October needed to be moved manually (hence me moving this one). Cheers, Number 57 20:57, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oh! (or should I say: Doh!) Thanks for the info. I was completely unaware of that debate. In any case, my main objective was to categorize these articles and at least that is done. Pichpich (talk) 21:00, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
- No problem at all. Cheers, Number 57 21:05, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Contact diode effect
[edit]A tag has been placed on Contact diode effect requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
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.

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018
[edit]Hello Pichpich,
- Reviewer of the Year
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
- Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760 reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001 reviews), Semmendinger (8,440 reviews), PRehse (8,092 reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306 reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016 reviews), and Elmidae (3,615 reviews).
Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven months, while Boleyn, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

- Less good news, and an appeal for some help
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
- Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
- Training video
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.
