New Years new page backlog drive
Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!
We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!
The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
- The total number of reviews completed for the month.
- The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Brother Sister (film)
I'm confused by the redirect you created at
- It sometimes is worth leaving a little redundant DNA is a redirect in case anyone wants to change the redirect later. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:48, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
A personal plea
Please have a look at User:Andrewa/A personal plea and apply it to this edit. TIA
But I thoroughly endorse your comment this is lazy...! Andrewa (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, you're right, rose to it, more fool me. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:40, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Moves
I've raised this with you before. Why do you keep moving articles to disambiguated titles than leaving the original title as a redirect to that disambiguated title? What does that achieve? If you have a better target for the original title, fair enough, redirect it somewhere else, but please either do the whole thing or just leave them be. Cases in point just from today: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Please either do something sensible with these, and the others you've moved, or move them back. --Michig (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Bedwetters is redirected to bedwetter. What to do with Déborah Rodríguez is more of a problem, a Déborah Rodríguez (athlete) makes most sense, but okay have removed (athlete). In ictu oculi (talk) 16:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)]

- and here's some more: [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. I would suggest you stop doing any more page moves until you can get this right. --Michig (talk) 16:35, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Apology for this edit which I cannot explain (which is scary to me obviously). I can't see how best to fix it. (Please feel free to just remove this comment if you do). Andrewa (talk) 15:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- That's okay. Seriously though, there are four reasons for not locking ones edits immediately - one is allowing a pause for others to revert, the second is time for the what links here on templates to catch up, the third is WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, the fourth is toilet breaks.

So impressive
Hi In ictu oculi. I must say how staggeringly impressive is you User page. A stunning list. If you would permit me, I could fix 15 DAB page links for you - unless of course you have left them like that deliberately! Kind regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:01, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well I used to keep track of the articles I made. And keep track of changes. But as they've got more random I stopped. No, I don't deliberately link anything to a dab, it has never occurred to me to check the page for dab links. Surprising how many Polish composers have cyclists added now with the same name. :) Thank you. Done it. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Redirects I created
You have previously said in December of last year that you would stop editing redirects I created. Less than a month later, it appears this no longer stands. I will get an administrator involved again if you cannot stop this. You said you would, so do it. Don't move this discussion to my talk page. If you want to reply, reply here. If you remove it, then I will take that as an acknowledgement that you have seen it and agree to stop. Ss112 21:05, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- S112, this is in no way personal, I have not been picking your redirects, I have simply been correcting misdirects in A-I order, I didn't stop to check who created the mislinks, they surely can't all be ones you made? Take an example I see you've put WP:OWN. If that doesn't apply to articles, then it certainly doesn't apply to misdirects pointing to the wrong article. But if you insist any misdirect you make must stay then I'll pause. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:10, 15 January 2018 (UTC)]
- How is this a matter of WP:OWN when it was your idea to stop repointing my apparent "misdirects" to avoid conflicts? Ss112 21:12, 15 January 2018 (UTC)]
- Again I am not repointing your misdirects I've just corrected about a dozen misdirects in A-I order. In a couple of cases I noticed it was yours and left it. But surely the rest aren't all yours are they? (note that I haven't corrected Courtship (song) to point to the dab page). In ictu oculi (talk) 21:16, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- I didn't say they were all "mine". I believe the only ones I did revert or take issue with were ones I created, aside from Hang on Me, which is not one I created but was still on my watchlist from when I moved it recently. Ss112 21:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)]
- I'm looking at them, seems at least a third of them were in fact yours. I am very sorry but I assure you that there was no targetting involved, as I said I was simply following alphabetical order. Can I suggest something; perhaps if you feel this strongly that particular (song) should redirect to a particular artist or album, then maybe you should create an article on the song? But it's only a suggestion. I will try and check to avoid your redirects where possible. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:22, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Response
I didn't say I "own" them. I have never said that. You're bringing that policy up as an excuse now to renege on the fact that you said you would leave redirects I created alone to avoid conflicts. You haven't done that. It doesn't matter what the reason is, and "it's a stopgap" doesn't make any sense. Request the move at
- One way or the other page history needs to be preserved when articles are blanked, as you want to do it yourself, that is fine by me, and I have left you a message at Talk:You Are the Reason (Calum Scott) suggesting that you use a G6 to fix the problem. All the best. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- That's not the main issue and you know it, so stop deflecting. Leave redirects I created alone and we wouldn't be in this position in the first place. Ss112 11:56, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Again, you are not the only editor who does this. But you are the only one who gets sensitive if they are fixed. Can you at least make an effort that when you blank an article you preserve page history at a more appropriate location and fix resulting dab issues? There's no urgency to do this since it's fair enough to allow other editors some time - even a couple of months - to revert. But sooner or later if nothing happens then the page history should be preserved and the title treated with normal disambiguation you blanked the article 26 Nov, that is 2 months ago. Look I also leave things for a few weeks to allow editors to revert, but sooner or later they need clearing up. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? I'm actually confused. There was no article at that time at the namespace "You Are the Reason". I blanked the page for failing You Are the Reason (Calum Scott song) at the time, because that already existed, as you know. I think you're honestly trying to tell me to remember every single redirect I've created and go back and see if that's also the title of another song in the entirety of music history, so disambiguate it and create a dab page (which takes time to research and do). Nobody is forced to create a dab page for the other number of possibilities there is. I only do it when I think it's obvious. However, I try to be a bit more aware now to avoid you coming along thinking it's your duty to clean up or "housekeep" on Wikipedia/to avoid you moving the page, but that was November 2017. You hadn't made a big deal to me of saying I should do it then. Ss112 12:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)]
- Okay, well I'm sorry to be confusing. Just to stick to this example. clearly You Are the Reason (Calum Scott song) was non notable, it shouldn't have been created, you were right to blank and redirect to the bio. That cleans up 90% of the problem. What it doesn't do however is restore the original situation where a reader could put in "You Are the Reason" and end up with the search results leading them to Air Supply etc etc. Personally I'm of the view that having moved You Are the Reason page history out of the way to You Are the Reason (Calum Scott song) redirect, the remaining You Are the Reason would be better off deleted, using a CSD7, but there some admins who simply won't do that, which then forces creation of a dab page at the baseline. Does that make sense? In ictu oculi (talk) 12:21, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well as I just said in one of my edits to my above message, nobody should be forced to create a dab page for the amount of other possibilities there may be. It's nice and helpful if they do, but it's not required by WP policy. I had no reason to in November 2017 because I didn't know any user would have an issue with it then. That would not have even been on my mind. Ss112 12:24, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hey I'm not forcing you, some of them are not worth it. But I just can't help noticing that some of these generic titles are squatting over other songs - that Tremaine song was a another example. You (again) were right to blank and redirect it, but that still left a 1946 jazz standard that it was usurping. It's just one of those things - a certain number of non-notable articles (be they songs, anime, books, you name it) once deleted then need repointing to the other more historical items. A similar problem with those editors who when a new 2018 album comes out believe they need to redirect every song on their new album to their new article, even if half a dozen other artists have used the title before. I've seen you correct editors who do that, so on this we appear to agree. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:30, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Consensus before massive reworking
My issue with the D.M.Z. album. You've already decided to create a redirect and point all instances of the former link to the latter before consensus has been reached on the move. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Fixing broken links will need to be done either way. Sorry but the onus is on yourself to provide evidence that DMZ with dots never occurs except for this Christian album. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:05, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I saw that some pointed to D.M.Z. (album), while others correctly pointed to D.M.Z. I'm not sure why you decided to create a redirect to point back to the album and fix the bad linking (that you created) by pointing to your redirect. It's all poor editing. The fact that the album title has a built-in disambiguation is reason enough to not need another page with your preferred spelling. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:08, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- One way or another, the hard-wiring inside article html would be better done correctly to avoid mislinks. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:10, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Help finding entries for Chapter Ten
Hi IIO. Since you appear to be good at finding topics on such short notice, if you get time, can you help list things that may be known as either "Chapter Ten" or "Chapter 10" at Chapter Ten? It was originally a redirect to a Kendrick Lamar album but it seemed like too generic a title to remain that way. Thanks! Ss112 14:11, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
- We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
New Year Backlog Drive results:
- We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!
General project update:
- ACTRIALwill end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
- Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the RfD.

Primary idea
Hello. If you want to follow-up on your idea of switching the two primary title criteria I think you have good reasoning to do so. Either a "bold" change or a talk-page discussion may end with that idea being adopted. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Comico moved page.
Hi, I just wanted to say that I apologize for moving the Comico page (American publisher) without having a discussion about it before hand. I did not mean to cause any trouble. I thought that because that company is now defunct and the NHN's Comico is currently around and much bigger that it made sense to select that as the default Comico. I don't usually move pages without having a discussion first but I personally thought that it wasn't a big deal which is why I went ahead with the move by myself. I will delete the current move discussion on Comico (Korea) and start a move discussion on the U.S. version. Sorry for the mess and the confusion. I did not mean any malice from it.

I've written it to clarify your doubts about that name (and also Italian language) so I hope it'd be helpful to you, and since you went to that discussion one hour after it was opened I deduce it's an argument you're interested in. 151.48.215.96 (talk) 11:23, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for moving Baselga di Piné! Why didn't you do the same for Ruffré-Mendola? You disagreed to move Dolcé because "the correction should start on the it.wp": well, in it.wikipedia they've corrected the spelling of Ruffré-Mendola, exactly as for Baselga di Piné. Could you move also this page please? I hope that you didn't change your mind because of that article in a local newspaper... In others articles of the same newspaper you read "Ruffré-Mendola" ([15]) but they aren't sufficient as sources anyway. Rather, have a look at one of the main daily national newspapers in Italy, La Stampa: (you have to google the text between Qs: Qsite:lastampa.it "ruffrè mendola" -"ruffré mendola"Q AND Qsite:lastampa.it "ruffré mendola" -"ruffrè mendola"Q) over 655 results for Ruffré-Mendola versus...0 (yes, Z-E-R-O) for Ruffrè-Mendola (because if you open the only 2 results that you see you'll read in both pages "Ruffre'-Mendola" with apotrophe). And even Google Maps spells it "Ruffré"... Besides this, the noted overmentioned DOP and DiPI and, overall, the article in the Italian wiki which was already moved. I don't see which reason there may be not to move this page after moving Piné... 151.48.215.96 (talk) 19:39, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

The version with only Max was a result of a misunderstanding ;) - I still think "Cencic" is what he now uses, and what you find in programs, bios and the press. Shouldn't we follow? Last word in the review: "Hingehen!" Go see! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:56, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Move of Transatlanticism
Quick question – what was the purpose of moving the page
- A 97-charting US Billboard album doesn't displace Transatlanticism (politics) from real world meaning. There are two or more schools of thought about what Wikipedia is however. By all means move the album after checking Google Books is you think justified. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:19, 6 May 2018 (UTC)]
- Okay, it seems like the term is most commonly used when referencing the album – so I'm going to move the album back to Transatlanticism and add a hatnote. [[User:Conifer|<span style="color:forestgreen;font-

Renaming discussion
I'd love to get your opinion on this discussion:
NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
ACTRIAL:
- WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feedhas dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
Deletion tags
- Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.
Backlog drive:
- A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPRfor more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
Editathons
- There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
Paid editing - new policy
- Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COINif necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Subject-specific notability guidelines
- The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFOREnominating an article for deletion.
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
News
- Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.

Hello In ictu oculi, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
- New technology, new rules
- New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
- Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
- Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
- Editathons
- Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
- The Signpost
- The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

- Well there are other long scale works recorded, and there are other operas. When I created Columbus (Egk) I should have just had it as (Egk) not (opera), and now the Herzogenberg recording is coming out I think it's time to rectify that. Plus the Herzogenberg although an oratorio is technically labelled a choral cantata. So composer names work better. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:23, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

- Your replies at the AfD and actions to save the article do not indicate any "good faith filing" but a desire to keep incorrect information at all costs. When information is challenged, and you are not trying to protect a hoax, you don't oppose deletion based on "what Spanish-language 90's chart books did you consult?" when you have not consulted any yourself, nor on Wikipedia mirrors / self-published sites like Prezi, not on other languages versions of Wikipedia. You don't dismiss reliable evidence which directly contradicts your info (like the Billboard source, or discogs). Your actions show a very worrying attitude which is not compatible with editing Wikipedia. Fram (talk) 11:40, 14 September 2018 (UTC)]

- Your definition of "good faith" is opposing the deletion and asking whether I have consulted sources which you, the creator of the article, obviously never consulted in the first place, and have not provided since? That's not good faith, that's attacking the person actually uncovering the incorrect information you added, adding in your "oppose" a Spanish line which supposedly supports your position ("Un segundo sencillo, "Tal Vez", fue provisto por Thomas Anders") but which seems to come literally out of nowhere, and to the article an unreliable source to do the same. What exactly in all this is a good faith response to my initial post? You didn't address the actual concerns at all, only posted a very defensive "oppose". When you oppose the deletion of unverifiable and apparently wrong contents, then it is no longer a mistake but the defense of your own hoax. Fram (talk) 11:55, 14 September 2018 (UTC)]

Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.
- Project news
- The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.
- As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
- There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks for more info to see if you can help out.
- Other
- A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.
- Moving to Draft and Page Mover
- Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
- If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
- Articles that have been created in contravention of our COImight also be draftified at discretion.
- The best tool for draftification is CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
- The Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

I found a possible Kauffner sock
Hiya, In ictu oculi - I found a possible Kauffner sock. Could you check that I've not gotten it wrong? The suspected sock in question is: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Nine_Zulu_queens&offset=&limit=500&target=Nine+Zulu+queens - it raises my "sock-radar". They share very similar interests and the jokey username is a staple of Kauffner's socks. Plus, I don't know of any editor aside from Kauffner who has an interest in Christmas, Islam, Asia, and US style conservatism, and certainly not all four at the same time.

Hi, I went to create an article for Johannes Bünderlin, but it seems that you started an article back in 2011 and it is locked in your sandbox. Can you create the article so I can add biographical information to it, based on "Spiritual Reformers in the 16th and 17th Centuries" by Rufus M. Jones. I have the material all written up, just needs to be added to the article. thanks - Epinoia (talk) 03:13, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello In ictu oculi, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- Backlog
As of 21 October 2018[update], there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.
- Community Wishlist Proposal
- There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
- Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!
- Project updates
- ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
- There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.
- New scripts
- User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js(info) — A new script created for quickly placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. |
Hello In ictu oculi,
- Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
- Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
- If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
- We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
- With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.
