Inverse Warburg Effect

Dear Narutolovehinata5 I would like to pass on to you a message I had sent to Mr. Haworth yesterday. I have just noticed, however, that he has been “de-sysopped”, as he calls it. Hence I would like you, as an administrator, to attend to this matter. In the light of recent publications, such as "Sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease: metabolic reprogramming and therapeutic intervention" (2021), I would like you to revisit the deletion of the Wikipedia text on the Inverse Warburg effect. Sincerely 

                 Cordula (Hasperaspaeragus)


Dear Mr. Haworth, I would like you to consider resurrecting the Wikipedia article on the Inverse Warburg Effect, deleted 31 July 2017. The main reason given for its deletion was that the phenomenon described was "too fringe". National newspapers in Germany and Switzerland, however, have published major articles focussing on this novel metabolic approach to explaining Alzheimer's Disease, based on the Inverse Warburg effect. (https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wissen/medizin-ernaehrung/streitgespraech-alzheimer-heilung-wie-nah-ist-man-wirklich-dran-13722068.html?printPagedArticle=true#pageIndex_2 / https://www.nzz.ch/wissenschaft/gestoerte-energieversorgung-im-gehirn-1.18483527) A similar article in English, likewise addressed to the general public, can be found in the Harvard Gazette (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/02/a-new-understanding-of-alzheimers/) The fundamental publication "Alzheimer's disease: the amyloid hypothesis and the Inverse Warburg effect" by Demetrius, Magistretti and Pellerin (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2014.00522/full) has had 30.732 views (This is more than 98% of all Frontiers articles), and so far has received 138 citations. Is that "too fringe"? The most recent publication based on the Inverse Warburg concept is "Sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease: metabolic reprogramming and therapeutic intervention", which came out in 2021 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1043276021002198). - The theory is very much alive! In view of the current rejection of the Amyloid model for Alzheimer's disease, the major competing theory of the origin of neurodegenerative disorders, the bioenergetic model, based on the Inverse Warburg effect, would be of interest to Wikipedia readers.

DYK for Sangatsu no Phantasia

On 25 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sangatsu no Phantasia, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that some of the Japanese music unit Sangatsu no Phantasia's songs were also written in novel form by its lead vocalist?

Sorry, I don't know what a Japanese music unit is (nor what a music unit is), and hook and article have no link, nor an explanation. I try here first, not ERRORS. I don't understand what Sangatsu means, - is that a name? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes it's the name of the band ("Sangatsu" is Japanese for "March"). A music unit or vocal unit is just another term for music group, and it's a term that is commonly used in the Japanese music industry. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:25, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
How about a link to music group then. For me, "unit" is something in measurements, such as miles and pounds. It would be helpful to say it's a band, not a composition, or a video, - how would I know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I guess this is more of a language barrier than anything. In any case, the article's going to be out of the DYK set soon so it's probably too late to change the wording. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I looked for the term "music unit", and find only 116, many of those Japanese, many "Music Unit" as part of some name, many for military bands. I am not sure enough yet about the meaning to make a redirect. I have been told that SSATB is jargon, even with a link! Please make a redirect and use it. We don't talk about a DYK hook but articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:32, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

2022 began happily with vacation. I uploaded images but stopped at 23 January - click on songs. Remember Elena Guseva? She appeared by now, and even pictured (at least in the article).

Hi Narutolovehinata5 please suggest to create Japanese voice actress Hina Suguta, she has a main voicing role is Marin Kitagawa from anime: My Dress-Up Darling, so can create it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lovemuhcko (talk • contribs) 02:09, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Notability of Rin Kusumi and Sayuri Date

Hello Narutolovehinata5! I have noticed you have created articles for the voice actresses Rin Kusumi and Sayuri Date. However, I am not sure either of these meet the appropriate notability criteria. Both of them fail WP:GNG with just interviews, agency profiles, and casting announcements as sources, but that isn't uncommon for actors in general. Hence why WP:NACTOR exists; that being said, these two don't meet that either. NACTOR #1 states "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". Looking at these articles, both of them fail this criteria as well, since they only have one of these roles. If more coverage in Japanese exists, then they may meet GNG, but since both are fairly new I doubt it. Link20XX (talk) 00:33, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

In both cases they do have more Japanese coverage, at least from what I can tell. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Can you provide this coverage? Link20XX (talk) 19:11, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
In Date's case there's [1], [2], and [3]. For Kusumi there's [4] as well as the one already linked in the article about her winning a contest. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Prayer for Ukraine

I took this pic in 2009. It was on the German MP yesterday, with this song from 1885, in English Prayer for Ukraine. - Yes, I take side. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:33, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

As much as I personally agree that as people we should take a stand in supporting Ukraine, I am very uncomfortable with using DYK to promote any particular political viewpoint. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:48, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
I heard that, therefore I tell you that the German SG (the equivalent to DYK) prefers Ukraine hooks. It was now on their Main page for two days without problems. The suppression was there in 1885, as you hopefully read in the article, and I am too old to wait until its over. - Trying to please: I will not nominate a singer Ipigott wrote about because it would be a day late, - I forgot over the heartbreak, with vivid memories of real people. The German hook (not by me) said that the old prayer is heard many places around the world. DYK that SNL made three exceptions from a sketch to open the show: 9-11, a school shooting, and this. The New York Times wrote that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:03, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
We are not the German Wikipedia. We have our own rules and guidelines that may be different from them. If you want us to have a Ukraine focus, you are free to start a discussion about it, but you have to note that just because the German Wikipedia does it doesn't necessarily mean we should follow. There has to be local consensus and that is independent of what the German Wikipedia decides to do. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:06, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
Wikimedia called for a Ukrainian Culture focus. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:16, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
It should be noted that Ukraine CDM was already scheduled long before the invasion, the timing was just an unfortunate coincidence. As far as I'm aware, it is also an annual thing so that it happened now had nothing to do with the invasion nor a show of support. If you want DYK or the main page as a whole to have a Ukrainian focus in solidarity with Ukraine, I would suggest you start a discussion about it either at WT:DYK or the village pump. I do not know if such a proposal would gain traction here given that previous examples of the English Wikipedia taking a political stand have largely been rejected (except for the SOPA black-out), but it may be worth trying. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:21, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
but I don't want that, just passing an article about a 1885 song without censorship would be enough for me --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:29, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough.
Anyways, if you need any ideas to what Geometry Dash humor looks like, the most long-running joke in the game is "2.2 when", referencing the very long wait for the 2.2 update, along with "Is that a GD reference?", which people post in response to seeing something that happens to share a name with a Geometry Dash level (for example, Cataclysm, Slaughterhouse, Acu, etc). 172.112.210.32 (talk) 00:32, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

QPQ

I dont have 5 DYKs. The rule is clear. Venkat TL (talk) 12:36, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL: That is not how it works in practice. In practice, we go by nominations rather than DYK credits. If a nominator makes more than five nominations but some of them were failed or are still open (meaning they had five or less successful DYKs), we still usually require them to do a QPQ. To err on the side of caution I would highly suggest that you do a QPQ just to be sure. In any case, as soon as you get another DYK nomination you will need to do a QPQ moving forward anyway. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:42, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Please update the rule before enforcing it. What if my other DYKs are rejected and I remain at 4 DYKs forever? Venkat TL (talk) 12:43, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I will wait to hear from a reviewer. If he insists will do. Venkat TL (talk) 12:45, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
As I mentioned earlier, I would suggest you do a QPQ just to be on the safe side. From experience, nominators in the past who have less than five successful DYK credits but have more than five nominations are still asked to do QPQs. I'm not sure if it's reviewers misinterpreting the rules or not, but that's just how the way things go. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:45, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Well what is preventing you to update the rules to reflect this. I will follow the community consensus. Not individual whims. Venkat TL (talk) 12:50, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Why are you adding DYK symbols in the DYK page if you are not reviewing it. Venkat TL (talk) 12:56, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Symbol adding does not need to be associated with a full review. Adding the symbol merely states that an issue exists, regardless if a full review is done or not. The wording in the instructions says "DYK eligibility requires that an issue be addressed" without mention of if a full review needs to be done or not. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 16:27, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I dont know. I find its addition by you confusing, it will discourage reviewers from reviewing the page. The DYK will stay idle and then you will say it is too late and close it, claiming uninvolved reviewer. In future you should either review the DYK or stay away from it. I have added DYK review symbol, hopefully someone reviews it soon. You cannot adjudicate on the eligibility without reviewing it. It is understood. Again if you want the rule to say something, propose it and get community consensus. Please do not enforce your own reading of the WP:DYKRULESVenkat TL (talk) 16:32, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I have never seen a DYK remain idle because of an issues template. Someone can come along and just point out issues whenever they want and I see it frequently. I wouldn't say its Narutolovehinata's own reading when its been this way for as long as I can think of. SL93 (talk) 17:29, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
@SL93 at least 3-4 of my DYKs have been closed this way. Venkat TL (talk) 17:57, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Did you attempt to fix the issues? SL93 (talk) 18:12, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
In the last case, I did not even get a chance. Naruto first made "a comment without reviewing" then no one else reveiwed, then Naruto closed it claiming too many days have passed. Article was expanded to thrice its size and re-written in that period. I am seeing a repeat of past DYKs which is why I posted here. Venkat TL (talk) 18:32, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Are you referring to the Hijab nomination? I did not do "a comment without reviewing", that nomination already received a review and was then marked for closure due to outstanding issues. There is also nothing in the DYK rules against multiple editors commenting on a nomination, or even commenters being required to review a nomination. Editors are always free to comment on nominations they have not reviewed, whether to point out issues that the reviewer missed, disagreeing with the reviewer, or even addressing concerns they have raised.
As for "too many days have passed", the nomination was open for almost a month after its initial review, which was plenty of time for article issues to be addressed. Since they were not addressed, the nomination was failed. It was explained to you by other editors at WT:DYK that once a review has begun, it is expected that any article issues raised must be addressed within a reasonable timeframe, but such fixes did not appear forthcoming even after several weeks. The article had too many unresolved issues, and despite being given ample time to fix them, they were not addressed. Even had the article stabilized, the article had tone issues and they were not resolved despite editor concerns being expressed on the talk page and despite being given plenty of time for them to be fixed. Indeed, when the neutrality concerns were raised in the WT:DYK discussion about that nomination, you did not not even acknowledge that such concerns had been raised or addressed them. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 19:06, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I agree with you on this one. After a certain amount of time passes and the nominator is still actively editing, I wonder why that editor doesn't work on fixing the issues that were raised. I'm not sure of why there is a need to blame the closer after other editors have chimed in on the problems. SL93 (talk) 19:10, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
The issue was, the article is not stable. I said wait a few weeks. (what else am I supposed to do? tell everyone to stop editing?) After one month the article became stable. The issues were already resolved. Should have been reviewed, but instead Naruto despite being involved went ahead and closed it, claiming it is old. An admin also pointed this Invovled-Close. I asked Naruto to undo the close to allow the article to be reviewed, he would not budge despite multiple requests by me and another page contributors. Others would not interfere. His ego won, Wikipedia lost. Venkat TL (talk) 19:21, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I disagree. From what I see, the tone issues would have remained and those alone were brought up a while back. SL93 (talk) 19:27, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Is that enough reason to not give the article a fair chance in the review process? I would have happily agreed with the close if a proper review was done and the page contributors were not able to fix it. But Naruto did not even allow that to happen. Ego. Venkat TL (talk) 19:31, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
As mentioned multiple times by multiple editors in the WT:DYK discussion, the nomination did receive a proper review. All the DYK criteria were checked and Sammi felt that the article needed work. Later on, she followed up with comments that the article was not suitable for DYK owing to stability issues, a point she reiterated weeks later when she noted that the article had yet to stabilize despite being given plenty of time to do so. What could have been done, in my opinion, is that while waiting for the article to stabilize, the tone issues could have been addressed in the meantime, so that once those were resolved, the article would have had a better chance of passing once it had stabilized. Instead, it was the instability and the outstanding tone issues that led to the article being failed. Article tone issues by themselves would have been enough to fail the nomination (indeed, several DYK nominations have been failed in the past for that very reason), the article being unstable even one month later did not help either. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 19:35, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Venkat, I already apologized for closing that nomination out of process and promised not to do it again. I was actually considering unclosing it; however I decided against it after multiple editors noted that, despite the close technically being out of process, they would have closed it the same way. That is, if someone else took a look at the nomination, they would have also closed it due to article issues. In addition, it wasn't only stability issues that led me to close the nomination. The article also had tone and NPOV issues, all of which had been raised on the article's talk page, but which had not been addressed despite multiple comments. Indeed, I had raised with you the article's tone issues at the WT:DYK discussion, but you did not acknowledge them at all. Had there been at least efforts to address the tone or at least an acknowledgement that tone issues existed and would need to be addressed, I would have happily unclosed the nomination. Finally, multiple editors, even those that had noted that my close was out-of-procedure, agreed that the article was not in fact stable and agreed that Sammi's original review and comments about stability were proper, and that they too would have failed the nomination had I not been the one to do so. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 19:29, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Others claimed that your comments (that you dont consider a review) was a review. And ironically did not oppose your closure too. Look whatever others said or did not say, at the end of the day, it was your call to close and your call to not undo the close. For a moment, I thought of reverting your close but then others would have called it edit warring and what not. There is a reason why a closer is expected to be uninvolved.

DYK preps

I have filled the majority of the hook sets that are currently in the preps and queues. It frustrates me and that means that none of the hooks I nominated or reviewed can be promoted unless I ping someone to promote them for me. Do you have any ideas on how to receive some help? SL93 (talk) 16:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

I really don't know. We're really short on hands and Leeky can't do all promotions by herself given that she too has reviewed/commented on other noms. I think the best thing we can hope for is more people participating in prep building, but it's largely a thankless task and I think that discourages more people from participating. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 16:25, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
That does seem to be the case. Even theleekycauldron shouldn't have to do it all as well or most of it. Sigh. SL93 (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
@SL93: no worries, I'll promote the ones you can't get to. feel free to ping me whenever you need to theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 02:43, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Theleekycauldron I plan on not building anymore preps until we receive more help. We have three filled queues and six filled preps so that should give a few days for someone or some editors to stop the process from stalling. I want to spend more time that I use for building many preps to work on other Wikipedia things and stuff in my personal life. SL93 (talk) 02:49, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
all right, I think I can pick up the slack for a little while—although if you're striking for more help, i'd recommend leaving a note on WT:DYK. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 02:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
I tried that a few times. The most I received was up to two new prep builders that gave up after a few days. They will hopefully get the picture, but it's not really my problem to make sure an entire process runs smoothly. SL93 (talk) 02:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Akari Akase

On 8 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Akari Akase, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that prior to starting her music career, Akari Akase was a popular cosplayer and TikToker, with more than 1.2 million subscribers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Akari Akase. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Akari Akase), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

I'm only posting this here because a fourth message to you in a row at Template:Did you know nominations/Harold DeMarsh would bug me. I'm not sure if I can properly describe it, but the way it looked bugged me on the preview page. I just want to clarify why I'm saving reciting the Pistols Firing source as a last resort. I was thinking that using another reference for the hook would be more attractive to the reader, but I can't really put why I think that into words. I hate when this happens.

Forgive me

... when I say that I'm busy a weekend, and you insist, on four or five nominations, I think my ability to communicate in English is even worse than I thought. You don't know what roles mean in opera, and I obviously have no way to tell you. I expect curious readers to link to 27 (and then they know it was in the U.S. without wasting characters for "American"), and the others, and find out. See you on Monday, after hopefully getting my latest Recent death article in shape, - something that really can't wait. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:16, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello Narutolovehinata5/Archives,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 816 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 858 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

DYK nomination

I'm seeing how you feel about replacing my author credit with one for Cielquiparle for Joseph Eiboeck. Barely any of the current content is from me which normally wouldn't frustrate me, but I was planning on bringing the article to GA and now I can't. If I'm wrong and I still can, it wouldn't feel fulfilling at all. I don't want to associate with the article anymore. It honestly wouldn't bug me nearly as much if it was someone other than the reviewer. I don't understand why there are reviewers who feel the need to take over an article that meets DYK criteria instead of just reviewing it. SL93 (talk) 04:36, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't see how you can't work on it for GA purposes anymore just because other editors worked on it. Wikipedia articles are collaborations after all. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:47, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
I realize that, but it appears much of what can be added has already been added. If I remember correctly, only an editor with significant contributions can nominate it for GA. My work to the article isn't major anymore. Either way, I don't feel like it's my DYK nomination anymore. I guess I have to make articles as long as possible before nominating them within the 7 day limit. It's more of the reviewer taking over the article instead of reviewing that does make me frustrated - that isn't reviewing and it is not helping clear the backlog either. SL93 (talk) 04:52, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
An editor said that they did not want to review a DYK nomination of mine because they felt that they could add more to it, but they didn't want to add much more to the article due to feeling that their time could be used better on a different part of Wikipedia. I felt like bringing up the Joseph Eiboeck matter here mostly because my head hurts trying to understand. Despite Sammi Brie saying at Template:Did you know nominations/Canyon Kid's Corner that they were "trying to reduce the DYK backlog considerably", they left a note on the nomination just so they would know not to return to the nomination page. I found out later what was meant because I found the phrasing of the first comment to be confusing and potentially passive aggressive - "Aside from adding a MOS:GEOCOMMA to the hook, I'm not going to review this one because I decided my time would be better used providing newspaper references in my breadbasket topic area." Collaboration is great, but I'm wondering if editors consider there to be much more than "not a stub" rule. It was a bit upsetting because the article topic is an important part of my hometown's history. My main issue with the Joseph Eiboeck article is that I really thought I finally had a reviewer during the beginning of what is now a huge backlog, but the editor began the review and then expanded the article a lot - leading to an actual reviewer 20 days later. I am fine enough with editors expanding my nominations at DYK, but I feel that they should just review the article if they start their review especially with so many unapproved nominations. When it comes to the Canyon Kid's Corner DYK nomination, it stung when I learned that someone made a comment on my DYK nomination just so that they would know not to return to it...especially because they said that they were trying to reduce the backlog. I may have not explained myself well at all on your talk page. SL93 (talk) 05:50, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
I have found out what Sammi meant so I guess the issue is null. SL93 (talk) 00:22, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

New Page Review queue June 2022

Hello Narutolovehinata5/Archives,

Backlog status

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

Backlog drive

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.

TIP – New school articles

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

Misc

There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 12957 articles, as of 18:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Reminders
  • Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
  • If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
  • If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
  • To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
Notes
  1. ^ not including another ~6,000 redirects
  2. ^ The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.

DYK

How long do you think editors should give a nominator to respond? A talk page message for Template:Did you know nominations/Chris (Friday the 13th) was left by the reviewer on July 3 about the interestingness of the hook. Another one was left by the reviewer on July 11 when the reviewer and I found sourcing issues. SL93 (talk) 16:56, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

It depends. If the editor is not currently editing anywhere between two weeks to a month may be fine. But if it's a currently active editor, a week is probably the most that can be given. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:00, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
@SL93: Apparently the nominator has a history of unresponsiveness. They did a GA nomination last year which failed as they did not respond to reviewer comments. In addition, a quick check of their contributions suggests they've never communicated with editors at all through discussion pages. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello Narutolovehinata5/Archives,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination
MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
Open letter to the WMF
The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
TIP - Reviewing by subject
Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
New reviewers
The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
Reminders
  • Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
  • If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
  • If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Closing DYK discussion

Hi, thank you for closing Template:Did you know nominations/Public image of Boris Johnson, is there an explanation of how to do that somewhere? TSventon (talk) 17:29, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

@TSventon: In an unclosed nomination, in source editing, you can look for the "{{DYKsubpage" part. Add "subst:" before "DYKsubpage". Next, add "no" after "passed=", then give a brief explanation after "2=", although the explanation is technically optional. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:08, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Thank you, that works, but how are newish DYK editors expected to find those instructions? TSventon (talk) 10:15, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide exists, but it doesn't seem to give detailed instructions on how to actually close nominations, it's something you learn from experience I guess. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:23, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Arellano Chiefs basketball (nom) et al.

The nomination was withdrawn over what I consider to be a rather minor WP:EGG disagreement; could you take a look to make sure I didn't cause the nom's failure unnecessarily? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:16, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Wiki Asian Month 2022 Question

Hello Narutolovehinata5, I am wondering if a rejected submission for Wiki Asian Month can be accepted after edits? I recently created a page for Wanxin Zhang but it was not accepted with the comment "The lead should say 'born 1961', not '1961-present.'" I have changed the lead to the correct format and am wondering if it will now be accepted? I saw that other submissions were accepted with similar formatting comments. I had originally posted this question on Wikipedia talk:Asian Month but I had not received a reply. Any help or answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your work on Wikipedia Asian Month 2022! -- CarCai (talk) 05:17, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I haven't been able to re-check rejected entries, but yes: I can approve the submission once those ledes have been changed. For articles that have that format but were approved, I didn't approve them, maybe it was a different editor. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 05:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Asia Month rejected articles

Hello.

I saw that you raised some issue for my articles submitted for the Asia Month 2022. I edited those articles to address the concerns and improved them significantly.

Could you please review them again?

They are King Gyeongmun's ear tale and Brother and sister who became the sun and moon.

Thanks. Regpath (talk) 12:49, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

@Regpath: I would highly suggest that you ask for these articles to be properly copyedited by another editor as right now they need to be wikified to meet encyclopedic standards. In particular, the way the "<" and ">" symbols are used in the article are non-standard in English. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:56, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
I deeply appreciate your advice and suggestions. I edited to improve the articles. I learned what wikifying means. I tried my best but may not be perfect. It seems I am running out of time by the end of November.. I hope the revised articles be acceptable.. Thanks. Regpath (talk) 16:03, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
I appreciate the effort but I'm afraid I will have to decline the articles at this time. However, please don't be discouraged by this and I hope you learn from this experience. If you are still having difficulties with the article I would highly suggest you put them up for copyediting at WP:GOCE/R. The editors there would be very happy to assist.

Template:Did you know nominations/Rooppur pillow scandal

Narutolovehinata5, will you be returning to this nomination, or should I find someone else for it? Please let me know here or post there asap. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Can I get you a mop?

I see you once thought about an RfA. It looks like you had a very positive response, yet you didn't run. Would you mind if I nominated you now? I think you'd sail through to an easy confirmation. To be honest, I'm being selfish here; I want to get more people promoting DYK prep sets to queues! -- RoySmith (talk) 17:20, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the offer but I am no longer interested in running for adminship at this time. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 17:35, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Lovemuhcko (talk) 06:19, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I was actually thinking about writing an article for her but I'll have to find some sources about her first. I'm a bit busy with real-life matters at the moment but I can write her up an article soon. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:31, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
