New Page Patrol December Newsletter[edit]
Hello Bogger,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Please help assess my expanded article: Gourd mouth organ[edit]
Hello there, I'm currently working on expanding the article Gourd mouth organ as a part of my university unit. I want to thank you for approving my nomination of Gourd mouth organ for DYK. And can you please help me improve my newly expanded article by giving any feedback, advice or assessment? Thank you very much! And hope you have a lovely day. Ryssian (talk) 11:20, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ryssian Great work! Some general feedback: Cite books once, then use page numbers in individual references (WP:IBID). There's a good example of this system in JFK#References. Use the Template:About at the top of the article, to succinctly state the difference between Gourd mouth organ and Hulusi, for example {{About|a mouth organ made from green gourds weighing more than 50 kgs|similar, but smaller, polkadotted instruments|Hulusi}} => (replacing with actual distinguishing details). Also include a reciprocal message at the top of Hulusi. Any reason for the preference for "Burma" over "Myanmar"? "Myanmar" seems to be the standard. Bogger (talk) 22:06, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
- Also, use the Template:redirect to explain that Hulusheng redirects to gourd mouth organ, but hulusi and sheng (instrument) are separate. Bogger (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
- Bogger Thank you for the advice and feedback! I will start editing my citations and putting in About and Redirect templates asap. Also, I just changed all the Burma to Myanmar and I think the reason why I put Burma in the first place was that a lot of sources I used were using Burma in their texts, but I didn't notice now it has changed to Myanmar, thank you for the heads up! Ryssian (talk) 03:22, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- Ryssian Also, have a look at this comparison and try to rewrite any non-stock phrases, ("gourd mouth organ" is a stock phrase, but "will sound on both inhalation and exhalation", is not), or quote the source directly.Bogger (talk) 14:05, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Quick Thank You[edit]
Hello Bogger,
Just wanted to give a quick thank you for helping me on polishing up Chris Ramsay's page. I was having some issues earlier and I am still pretty new (only been editing for about a month) so I really appreciate the help. Thanks! :) Updatewithfacts (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Technically, you helped me, as I created the article and you added some sources to show notability :). Welcome to the club. Don't suppose you'd like to work on Draft:Wes Barker ([:d:Q107195181]], notable for more than just being Chris Ramsay's neighbor [1] ..? Bogger (talk) 19:51, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Bogger: Happy to help, and I honest to goodness forgot that you created the article ha ha ha. I would be happy to look into it; happy to be welcomed into the club. Long story short, you're probably one of ten editors that has been genuinely nice to me on here and I super appreciate it :) Anywho, I will definitely look into it a bit later today. I am going to be running a TON of errands today but hope to jump into it later today and help out with the draft :) ps: I jumped back onto this message to ping you. I realize technically your template at the top said to ping you on my username page if I need to reach you, but I thought it would be helpful to show you right away that I responded to your message :) Updatewithfacts (talk) 19:59, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
@Bogger: I finished up all those crazy errands and started working on that draft page. I added a few links; hope it helps :) I'll see what else I can find. Updatewithfacts (talk) 04:18, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

An odd photo when you look up my Edwin J. McEnelly page on Google.[edit]
After you approved my page for Edwin, whenever you look up "Edwin J McEnelly", the Wikipedia page shows up but with an odd picture of two guys posing with eachother and has nothing to do with the article. I'm not sure why it's there and when I check the page itself on Wikipedia it isn't anywhere on the page. I’m wondering if you know anything about it or how to fix it.

review of Draft:Olansi Healthcare Co., Ltd[edit]
Hello, what's wrong with the page (Arnob09Das (talk) 12 July 2021
- @Arnob09Das:, articles should be encyclopedic in tone, but the draft currently reads like an advertisment/avderttorial. For example:*"Olansi Healthcare Co., Ltd is the largest company in China, owning electronic gadgets which started in 2009" is it the largest company, or the largest electronics comany?
- "leading the way" non-encyclopedic
- "their priority is to create a better and consistent customer experience who buy their products across all sales channels" - reads like a press release. A company's priorities can only be gauged by quoted/sourced statements/ sales figures/R&D budget figures
- "Olansi is a professional air purifier OEM manufacturer with products containing china air purifier, home air purifier, HEPA air purifier, ionizer air purifier, pm2.5 air purifier, car air purifier, room air purifier, and so on that significantly increase the personalization of the service." - reads like a press release
Bogger (talk) 09:53, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) The latter sentence was indeed copied from a press release, I've removed it from the draft as a copyvio. Pahunkat (talk) 10:02, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
I have made all the changes that they required and I am keeping changind the citations, but I do not what else to do. I believe I did everything I could and do still would like to submit. Can some one help me to get this right? This is the 4th time I submit.
Thanks Mikip1015 (talk) 03:37, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hey @Mikip1015:. Everywhere there is a {{cn}} or [[citation needed]] replace it with a reference to proof about that claim. Some of your references have just been links to websites, proving that things exist, but you need to show Prof. Khavari's connection to them. If these are things you just know (perhaps because you know Prof. Khavari personally), then that is considered original research and that is not allowed on Wikipedia, especially about living people. So, for example, prove he grew up in Whitefish Bay and Bayside, Wisconsin, prove he earned an MD at Yale University School of Medicine, and prove he did research at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
I hope this is clear Bogger (talk) 08:23, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Discussion on Draft:M._R._Kamala[edit]
Hi
Thanks for taking time to review the wiki draft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:M._R._Kamala
You have left the following comment.
> No significant changes since last review. All claims about a person should be backed up by references provided inline.
There were no significant changes requested by the last reviewer. The previous reviewer left the following comment.
> The awards and publications listed need to have sources.
Hence I have added inline citation to the awards and publications. Every line of the wiki has citation, could you please elaborate on what you are looking for? Thank you.
2620:10D:C090:500:0:0:5:5F9C (talk) 19:44, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- "Her father N H Raamaswamy was a farmer and her mother Vishaalakshi was a homemaker", for example has no inline reference. There should be a reference at the end of the sentence.[1] Even if this information is in one of the sources mentioned somewhere in the article, the specific source needs to be explicitly stated for every claim. Bogger (talk) 07:19, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Got it. Will update the wiki with inline citation, in all such places that I can think of. Thank you.
Hello,
I am struggling to understand what kind of additional references I should cite in this page. Could you please explain to me why the page I am trying to create is not well referenced, when there are pages like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Gerometta ? Where are the references?
Thanks for your patience and help - Falcone181 (talk)) 06 July 2021
- hey @Falcone181:, (I misunderstood your question). I will flag the Paolo Gerometta article as you can see it does not have adequate references. You will need to add references for the promotions and awards and service medals. The Military career section is well referenced, but the style is not encyclopedic. It reads like an award citation. I will reword that section for you.Bogger (talk) 13:46, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021[edit]
Hello Bogger,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
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 or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

AfC cv declines[edit]
Hi! When you decline an AfC for copyright violations, please don't forget to provide a URL to the source copied from, or the title of the book. This can be done in the "url" box in the AfC decline dialog of the AfC script, and it helps a lot when editors go back to review the draft or the article history. Thanks in advance! :) Sennecaster (Chat) 04:08, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
December 2021 GOCE Newsletter[edit]

Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
