New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
Hello Barkeep49,
- 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 The former script is no longer maintained.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.
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Happy new year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:56, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt thanks. A very Happy New Year to you as well. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:34, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

- Thank you. Congratulations to being a chosen arbitrator. I like the discussions for Tchaikovsky, - promising. What do you think about Mozart, on the talk and at User talk:Michael Bednarek? (asking you because you once were the closer, in a rather historic close, in retrospect) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:57, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- Consensus can change and I think we are witnessing the slow change of that consensus in regards to infoboxes. Perhaps one day the consensus will change back or perhaps this will just become so accepted that it becomes an expected default. And yes that close does feel like a milestone of sorts in retrospect. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:00, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- All quite correct in general. Looking closer, a good question has been raised today (Debussy): should the principal editors decide, or the community? (More precisely: an opposer said the principal editors should decide.) In all RfCs sinze Mozart that I noticed (and there were not many, and there was Beethoven before), the community wanted to have to decide, - in a way no surprise. In no case I noticed was that decision reverted. If you want my modest suggestion: we should stop thinking infoboxes are anything special, but treat them like other content: bold edits get reverted and discussed. I feel that in the recent discussions, some of the principal editors didn't treat newbies well, and wonder a bit why the existing DS were not used, to enforce at least civility. - What I came for was pointing at two singers whose performance I enjoyed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Today's featured article is Osbert Parsley, not by me but Amitchell125 where I commented, including the beginning of my songs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Music in general, but certainly music older than the 1960s, is a place where I don't have a lot of knowledge. Which of the songs that you listed on your page was by Parsley? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:14, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry for confusing you ;) - Parsley is one of the more recent FAs about a composer with an infobox, while those an obvious newbie added to Benjamin Britten and Felix Mendelssohn were predictably reverted, - I just wish someone new who has probably no idea of a (former?) conflict would get more education in an edit summary than "restore". I began a new article on my songs, which has nothing to do with Parsley. On vacation - click on songs for images. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:35, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

About GA reviews and archives
Hello and happy new year, although I'm pretty late for it...
Since I recently found out about the WP:RGA process and grew interested in it, I wanted to ask you for help and assistance as I try my hand at it, please, should I decide to take up some reviews in the next weeks (I'd probably start from some of the pages listed in the Sports category). Obviously, no worries if you're already overloaded with other things coming up.
On a side note, may I ask you for some advice on archiving my own talk page, too? I'm still learning about how scripts and bots work on this site, so I don't really know how to set one of those properly...
I hope I've articulated myself well enough. Thank you!
Oltrepier (talk) 12:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Oltrepier happy to help with archiving. Essentially what you want to do is go to Help:Archiving_a_talk_page#Sequentially_numbered_archives and copy the code for either sigma or clue on the top of your user talk page. Those default settings are likely to work well for you. As for Good Articles, while I have a bunch of experience with them, I'm not really in a place where I could mentor someone new. I bet, however, if you asked at WT:GAN you'd find someone eager and able to help you. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:38, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- OK, I've just managed to activate it, hopefully it will work out.
- Thank you so much for your advice! Oltrepier (talk) 15:53, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

larger change
Regarding While brainstorming this idea Xaosflux suggested a larger change so that the Blocking and Admin policies used the same language could be useful.
: I had to read this several times to try to understand what was being said. Perhaps you could reword it to something like "While brainstorming this idea, Xaosflux suggested it could be useful to make a larger change that synchronizes the text in the Blocking and Admin policies."
On a secondary note, you introduced "child protection" in one location but not another; not sure if that was intentional or just an oversight. isaacl (talk) 22:02, 6 January 2023 (UTC
- I see the secondary note is moot now. isaacl (talk) 22:04, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion. I edited it in a slightly different way but hopefully one that will still be clear. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks; the change is helpful. isaacl (talk) 22:08, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Harrassment
User:Carptrash tried to bite the newbie and got bit back. Now he's harassing me through the page User Talk:PorkyPigCouldBeMyFather. 38.52.40.88 (talk) 15:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- This “harassment” occurred at Texan Santa Fe Expedition and Limoges (I asked for references or sources for his edits) as well as on his talk page. Check it out. Carptrash (talk) 17:12, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure how this ended up on my talk page and I see the IP has now been blocked which seems reasonable all things considered. That said @Carptrash I'm guessing you didn't mean it this way, but your email to me felt firmly in legal threat territory. Given what happened it's understandable but I thought you'd want to know to avoid doing that in the fute. Barkeep49 (talk) 02:23, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Adam Neumann Property
Hello Barkeep49. You helped me in the past with the Adam Neuman page, so I wonder if you wouldn’t mind taking a look at my most recent edit request concerning the neutrality of the Property section of Adam Neumann's BLP. If you agree that some clarification is needed to add balance to the sentence in question, I'd greatly appreciate your help with the implementation. Thanks so much, Carlos for Neumann (talk) 12:59, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- An editor has responded to the request so I suggest discussing this with them. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:29, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
You know...
Thanks. Unbelievable, huh. Drmies (talk) 03:45, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
