New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello HeinzMaster,

 
New Page Review queue April to June 2023

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Reminders

Glory records

edit

Hi Heinz,

Be careful with the official glory website, it's full of mistakes regarding fighter records, they count amateur and pro fights especially for new generation kickboxers, also they forget to count fights outside glory once the guy is added on the site. (talk)

UFC 309

edit

Hey. Just to let you know. I moved Eduarda Moura from WSW to WFW in the right order, along with the number of fighter changes in Brazil. I also added Roberto Romero to Lightweights, including updating the Mexico/LW/Overall UFC/LW numbers. Marty2Hotty (talk) 00:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Also moved David Onama to LW. Moved numbers around as well. LMK if there are any problems. Thanks. Marty2Hotty (talk) 01:39, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Also moved Damon Jackson to LW, adjusting the USA/LW/FW/overall UFC numbers. I put Damon right after Islam Makhachev based on Damon's original 2015 debut date. Marty2Hotty (talk) 02:40, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Jackson just retired but thank you! HeinzMaster (talk) 03:03, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I moved it too. The UFC Macau event actually starts soon and lots of debuts. Marty2Hotty (talk) 06:30, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hey I just added the UFC Macau fighters to their respective categories. Nyamjargal Tumendemberel is the first fighter from Myanmar. There were many flyweight debuts. Xiao and Le were already added to their sections before I got to it. LMK if there are mistakes. I changed the numbers as well for the division/overall fighters + country division and overall country number of fighters. Marty2Hotty (talk) 08:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
sorry. looks like Xiao and Le already had one UFC fight, which is why they were on the page already. Marty2Hotty (talk) 09:03, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Raul Rosas Jr.

edit
 

Hello, HeinzMaster. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Raul Rosas Jr.".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:13, 27 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bekzat Almakhan

edit

Some guy created Bekzat Almakhan. The article plagiarizes articles and has poor grammar. Should be kept. If so, it needs to be edited. He recently fought umar. Thoughts? Marty2Hotty (talk) 07:41, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

The fans from these Central Asian places are wild, they always create a page for everyone of their fighters, even when they just lose. Honestly, I think it's best to draftify it so the admins don't come around about the plagiarism. HeinzMaster (talk) 13:14, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I actually fixed up the article right before you changed it to draft lol Marty2Hotty (talk) 13:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'll take a second look at it later tonight and then I'll put it back up. HeinzMaster (talk) 13:18, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nah, it's your call. If you do not feel he deserves an article, leave him in draft mode. He used a recent YouTube interview for his source, lol. Marty2Hotty (talk) 15:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I added Kai Asakura to the flyweight section. with appropriate numbers on the list of ufc fighters page. Marty2Hotty (talk) 23:37, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
