Congratulations from the Military History Project

		Military history reviewers' award
		On behalf of the Military History Project, I am proud to present the The Milhist reviewing award (2 stripes) for participating in 7 reviews between July and September 2022. Hawkeye7 (talk) via MilHistBot (talk) 00:31, 3 October 2022 (UTC) Keep track of upcoming reviews. Just copy and paste `{{WPMILHIST Review alerts}}` to your user space

Keerbergs Transport Racing draftification

Why did you moved the article into draftspace? Formula Downforce (talk) 14:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Formula Downforce Per WP:NORG, there needs to be significant coverage of the team in independent sources for it to be notable. For example, in depth news reporting on the team. If you make sure to cite significant coverage whenever you create a new article, it won't be draftified. (t · c) buidhe 17:04, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

October 2022

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Grupo Herdez. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:17, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Buidhe,

If you disagree with an article being moved to Draft space, please move it back, do not cut & paste content into a new main space article. Now we have a main space page and a Draft on the same subject with different page histories. It's fine to object to draftification, but please keep the page history in tact. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:19, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Liz if you look at both articles you can see that no content was copied via cut and paste move. The article at Grupo Herdez was written from scratch. (t · c) buidhe 03:09, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Reverts

Please do not revert everything if you’re just editing. E.g., if you are changing a redirect to a full article, you just change it. You don’t revert and then make the new article. Reverting implies that there was a bad edit, which in the case of these crawdads, was not. You are just expanding to a full article. awkwafaba (📥) 11:55, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello Buidhe,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Suggestions:

There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

first homosexual movement

buidhe, i had a quick question regarding this article and the associated blurb. was the scientific-humanitarian committee "the world's first LGBT organization", as asserted in the blurb, or "the first LGBT rights organization in history", as asserted in the article on the committee? this statement in the blurb deals with a superlative, so i wanted to make sure it was correct. i am admittedly also wary of using the wording "the world's first homosexual organization", as seen in the article lead, to describe the committee, since groups such as the sacred band of thebes could be thought to have been established earlier, under a reasonable interpretation of the phrase.

also, after i noticed that there seemed to be some confusion during the drafting of the blurb, i thought you might like to know that, when determining the length of a blurb, the link to the featured article at the end of a blurb is generally included in the character count, as was explained to me here. (there is a space after the last parenthesis, but i usually do not include that in the count.) the blurb's length is fine now, but this is just for future reference. hope this helps! dying (talk) 21:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I will take a look later today. (t · c) buidhe 21:42, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to WP:ERRORS ... I'm fine with your suggestions, but I'd prefer to let someone else make the edit here ... ERRORS is watched by a lot of people ... probably someone will make the edit and probably you'll be happy with it ... but I'll keep an eye on it, and if nothing happens before it goes live, I'll make the edit. You might want to respond at ERRORS to let folks know whether you're happy with FFF's suggestion. - Dank (push to talk) 19:56, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Politics of resentment

The article Politics of resentment has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lacks any real merit

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Backlog drive - issues and options

@Zippybonzo and Buidhe: After the backlog was momentarily brought down to 0, participants are having a tough time getting pages to review. This has possibly led to a lot of unnecessarily quick rejections or draftifications, as can be evidenced by the thread on the main NPP discussion page. Some options:

Close the backlog drive early, say on 24th. We could say 15th-24th (10 days) is considered as the 3rd week. This is unprecedented, but the backlog hitting 0 has also never happened before.
Change the consideration for streak awards for the last week: Whatever level of streak they got for the last week will be considered as one level higher than normal. So if a person's weekly score was 110, 115, 105 and 75, then they still get the streak award for above 100. This will not affect the total score and the award tiers there. This is somewhat complicated, but i'm willing to do the calculations necessary, after the drive.
Do nothing i.e. leave the rules as is and let the drive continue till the 31st.

I think we should do option 1. It is the simplest. Thoughts? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 01:59, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

I would support 1 as well. Call it a success! (t · c) buidhe 02:28, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Total success! So successful that we are having problems. Could you do the announcement on the drive talk page please? I'll do a followup after I talk to Tol. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

@Buidhe@MPGuy2824. What we could do is run the drive but just limit the streak awards to weeks 1-3 and therefore doing nothing in week 4 isn’t going to impact your streak. I’m open to 1 as well. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 07:29, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Pull-up (exercise)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Pull-up (exercise) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Lee Vilenski -- Lee Vilenski (talk) 14:01, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Early end of the backlog drive

A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.

Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.

Your opinion, if you have a moment?

I noticed a recent clean-up you did, so thought you might be willing to advise or intervene? An IP [who appears to have extensive WP experience] has recently been editing European integration, especially European integration#Most integrated countries. My attempt to engage at talk:European integration#"Most integrated countries" section has been rebuffed, with even an NPA allegation at my talk page to boot. Clearly I'm not going to go to ANI with a content dispute but I have no idea how to negotiate with a blank wall. Any advice?

No worries if you decline, I'm sure you have more productive things to do with your time. I can try the Teahouse instead. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 09:02, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Slovak Republic (1939–1945)

Hello, Buidhe.

I noticed you reverted my edit at Slovak Republic (1939–1945). When changing that heading, I considered changing the one about the Slovak-Soviet interactions, but decided against it, partly because they were more a rear-guard force behind the Germans. This heading conflicting with the target of the Template:Main beneath it is more serious than conflicting with the other heading.

What do you think? Augusthorsesdroppings10 (talk) 02:17, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

{{u| Augusthorsesdroppings10}} Personally I do not think that "Slovak invasion of Poland" or "Slovak invasion of the Soviet Union" is the right terminology at all, given that this terminology basically does not occur in reliable sources and the Slovak party was pretty insignificant to both conflicts. However, I do think it should be consistent within the article. It is not required for a section heading to be the same title as another Wikipedia article.

Qudshanis

Hello. I noticed you renamed Qudshanis last year[1] but now that articles have been created for most of the villages in the province, we're in a situation that the title of this article is the odd one out (as you can see here Category:Villages in Hakkâri Province. I see the issue if Qudshanis is more common, but I wanted to ask if you would be opposed to a name change to 'Konak, Hakkâri' for harmozation reasons? Semsûrî (talk) 19:40, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Semsûrî I believe that Konak currently has a population about 30. When I renamed it, I could not find evidence that it's even notable in its current form, since all in-depth sources addressed the Assyrian history of the location. Instead of renaming, if both are notable it may make more sense to split. (t · c) buidhe 19:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

There's not much post-genocide info on the village other than the residing Kurdish tribe and attempts to restore the church. But national and local media tend to use the name Konak with one of the many renditions of the historical name in parenthesislike here. All of these renditions of the historical name (Koçanis, Koçannes, Qudshanis, Koçanız etc) are not helpful either and I wonder if the article can be found by people that are interested in the topic having it titled 'Qudshanis' if they search with a different spelling. Konak could be helpful here as news outlets frequently use it. Semsûrî (talk) 20:32, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Contentious topics procedure adopted

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.

The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.

The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.

This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

The article doesn't name Schmid, but multiple articles online explicitly state that this was a blanket measure. I see no reason to believe that it would not automatically apply to Schmid, given that this measure was blanket. Lightiggy (talk) 04:59, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Lightiggy Trial records for the case do not survive, making it difficult to know how Schmid may have been affected by the general amnesty. Furthermore, saying that he was pardoned without a source that directly states it is still original research since this fact is not stated in the cited source.

Yeah, that’s fair Lightiggy (talk) 05:47, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

GAR mentor

Hi! If you have some free time, would you be willing to be my GA review mentor? I plan to review the iMac G3 nomination, which would be my first review. The criteria seem straightforward enough; I'd just like someone to make sure I'm not making any obvious mistakes. Have a nice day! DFlhb (talk) 21:51, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

DFlhb I am not sure I will have enough time to help, and technology is not the area I usually edit in. So, for best results you might ask another editor. Still, if you finish the review and would like me to look it over, I think I could do that. (t · c) buidhe 08:14, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks; how about I let you know when I feel the article is GA-ready, before I actually pass it, that way you can skim through it and see if anything stands out as wrong? I checking all claims are verified by the citations, and will follow the criteria methodically, so please don't feel any need to do these checks yourself; I just asked out of an abundance of caution, to be fair to the nominator, given my inexperience. DFlhb (talk) 12:39, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I've just now finished the review, would appreciate a quick look-over. If you're busy these days (understandably!) I can ask another mentor, just let me know. Thanks! DFlhb (talk) 10:06, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Persecution of homosexuals in Nazi Germany scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the Persecution of homosexuals in Nazi Germany article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 27, 2023. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page blurb, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 27, 2023, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. If you wish to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article, you can do so at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/January 2023.

I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks and congratulations Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:40, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Looking forward to that! - In the context: Draft:Bund für Menschenrecht was deleted as the work of a now banned user, then restored as draft, - it needs editors in good standing to confirm that the context has value. You know the topic best, - could you please check it out? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:33, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Herman Bernstein 1915 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette piece about Russian persecution of the Jews

Happy New Year Buidhe! By serendipity, I came across this full page (broadsheet) article / editorial by Herman Bernstein & thought of your work on genocide articles. I thought you might know the appropriate article(s) in which to cite it. I do not know if you already have access to newspapers.com, but if not, you can request it at wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org.

Berstein, Herman (1915-09-26). "Collapse of Russia's conspiracy against the Jews". Second section. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. p. 14. Retrieved 2022-12-31 – via Newspapers.com.

Even if you do not have access to newspapers.com yet, you should be able to view the URL as it is a "clipping" that I made. Peaceray (talk) 17:54, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

New Year's Wishes!

Happy New Year, Buidhe! Thank you for your vital work at FAC this year, which contributes to furthering Wikipedia's reputation as a well-written and trustworthy encyclopaedia. Phenomenal work on torture as well, and thanks for organising the (albeit somewhat flawed) NPP backlog drive in July! Additionally, thanks for peer reviewing my first (thus far only) FA at the start of this year. I really appreciate all the work you do for this project and for helping me out.

Yours truly, 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 00:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC) (It is now New Year's Day in UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Buidhe,

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.

Third opinions

I was wondering if you had general advice? Pinging people who weren't previously involved probably isn't the best idea going forward but I also don't want to create unnessecary RFCs. Also maybe I should just wait a bit more in general since this ended up working out? I guess, basically, what is your general advice for resolving content disputes? I really do appreciate your opinions. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Clovermoss Sorry, I don't feel that I'm the right person to ask about this. Resolving content disputes has never been my focus. (t · c) buidhe 07:46, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

That's alright. Is there someone you would suggest I ask advice for instead? It's okay if you don't have any ideas for that either. I'm sure I'll eventually figure something out. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:47, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure, maybe Vanamonde. (t · c) buidhe 07:51, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Shiotani

The matter of Shiotani's birth date took me ages to document -- which was particularly irritating, because I can't see how anyone's opinion of him or his work would change on learning that he was born two full months earlier or later than is commonly stated, let alone two measly days. Thank you again for prodding me, indirectly, to look at the teiko.jp page again, which led to my conclusion that the great day really, really was the 24th. Elimination of this tiny mystery has so cheered me that I have informed the Wikipedia-reading masses when to celebrate what I hereby name "Shiotani Day". (I don't remember ever having previously added a birthday to one of those pages.) As for your other proddings, the prospect of attending to them all makes me miserable. Which just means that it's time for me to stop whining and instead HTFU! -- Hoary (talk) 08:42, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
