I see that you have added two or three references. I am quite sure this person is notable. The prod template gives a week for editors to reference the article properly. Anyone may remove it if they feel that sufficient references have been added. But remember, especially when it comes to a living person, every assertion in the article must be cited.

Re Kumar Anish
Hi Mydreamsparrow,
I was actually going to come and a drop you a note about the Kumar Anish article.
The first concern is
The other concern is
Another page I'd suggest you read is Wikipedia:Citing sources. This contains a thorough discussion of how to cite sources (just providing URLs to the homepage, or even a subpage, of a website as you have tended to be doing is not recommended). There are even some automated tools that help you to create good citations that I highly recommend (I use one myself).
I realise that you are quite new to Wikipedia (perhaps introduced by Muhammad?) and a glance through your talkpage indicates problems with a number of your articles, some of which have already been deleted. Just as general advice could I perhaps suggest that you perhaps channel the initial enthusiasm you are showing for creating new pages and information into creating fewer but better articles, and improving existing articles. Indeed working through and improving an existing article can really help you to see what makes a good and bad article.
Also you may or may not be aware of the Wikipedia:Did you know process. This gets new articles onto the mainpage and can attract a lot of eyes to them and gives you a bit of acknowledgement for your work. However the other benefit to you would be that it gives some independent review to your articles providing you with a bit of feedback if things are lacking, or a pat on the back if they're really good. This would also let you look through other new articles to see what they contain and check out some of the feedback being given about them, which is far less personal than people reviewing your work.
Again I would like to welcome you to Wikipedia and congratulate you for your enthusiasm for adding content. I note you have also added some lovely photographs! I know I have sprouted an awful lot of information above and linked to lots of advice pages, but there's lots to navigate here! Many new users find the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user program very helpful for this reason, and some users have very well structured processes in place to help new users. While I'm not part of that process, if you want further advice or clarification about anything I've said, etc, feel free to ask. I notice that some more refs have been added to this chap's article, so I'll go and check them out at some stage and see how they shape up, but in the meantime feel free to strengthen them or anything else in the article with anything I've suggested above.
Cheers, --jjron (talk) 11:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC).
Thank you so much for your guiding. I will be much careful in future. Mydreamsparrow (talk) 11:28, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nominations
I have seen speedy deletion nominations placed by you that are wrong.
- You nominated Eliezer David Greenwald for speedy deletion under claiming there wasn't enough context to identify what the article is about. You had his full name, his occupation, cities where he worked and even a book he wrote. I found multiple sources that provides information about him by just putting his name into Google.
- You also nominated 2019 Thai League 2 saying there wasn't enough context to understand what the article is about. The article has an external link to the league, it has an internal link to the league and tells you it is about the 2019 season.
You need to go back and read the criterion so that you understand what the criterion mean. ~ GB fan 18:08, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.17
Hello Mydreamsparrow,
- News
- The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the WP:TFOLWP.
- Discussions of interest
- Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
- {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
- A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
- There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
- Reminders
- NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
- NPP Tools Report
- Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
- copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
- The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019
Hello Mydreamsparrow,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at
- QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please
- Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
- Move to draft
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
- Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are
- PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
- Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

New Page Review newsletter November 2019
Hello Mydreamsparrow,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
- Getting the queue to 0
There are now 815 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
- Coordinator
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
- This month's refresher course
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers:
- Tools
- It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
- It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
- Reviewer Feedback
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
- Second set of eyes
- Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the systemsection in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
- Do be sure to have our talk pageon your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
- Arbitration Committee
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
- Community Wish list
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

New Page Review newsletter December 2019
- Reviewer of the Year
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

- This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Help in cross checking!
Hi, I want your help in cross checking some bio infobox parameters in Shamsheer Vayalil article. The matter is: two days ago I left a message on a wikipedia user talk page User:Authordom for adding some missing bio infobox parameters such as nationality, title and degrees(MBBS and MD in alma mater column) in Shamsheer Vayalil article. The reason for asking him for adding these parameters is that I am new to wikipedia and don't have enough knowledge in formatting bio infobox. He added those parameters in the article. Today I found that he is blocked from editing wikipedia because he vandalized one of the wikipedia article. I think he might have violated wikipedia policy in Shamsheer Vayalil's article also and I'm afraid that I might also be accused as a culprit like him.So can you please cross examine the various parameters which he added in Shamsheer Vayalil article because you hold a experience editor service badge? Thanks. 786 harsh life (talk) 07:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
