Non-free images

AS you requested, I am posting on your talk page. I haven't looked at all of the images you have uploaded, but I suspect that these comments are likely to apply to all of them.

WP:NFCC#8. -- Whpq (talk
) 14:41, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I notice that you are still uploading these screenshots which do not meet
WP:NFCC#8. -- Whpq (talk
) 13:41, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
@Whpq: Every picture I am uploading directly summarizes the main plot point of the episode, which almost always ties into the reception portion of the article. For example, the image I just uploaded for Smoke (Better Call Saul) ties into the reception portion - "It's a heavy, reflective chapter that readily relies on silence to create both suspense and sorrow."

Further, NFCC#8 states that non-free content can be used if it can significantly improve a reader's understanding of the article, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Simply adding a still image from the episode significantly helps readers in identifying which episode it is - especially those who have watched the episode before and are re-researching the series. Removing that image absolutely is a detriment to that understanding. This is my justification for adding these images to the episodes. Thank you. LJF2019 talk 13:49, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

In all of the episode plots I have reviewed, none of them are the sourced, nor is the image directly referred to in any way. I don;t think they are meeting
WP:NFCC#8. -- Whpq (talk
) 14:02, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
@Whpq: I'm gonna quote Wikipedia's upload wizard here - "Please remember that you will need to demonstrate that: The file will serve an important function in a particular article; (NFCC8)". Last time I checked, allowing readers to quickly identify said episode serves an important function, even outside of the other reasons I have mentioned.
And really? You reviewed all of them? Do you not have anything better to do? What about Chicanery (Better Call Saul), where the final scene is directly mentioned in the analysis section? Was my picture of the final scene wrong there somehow?
Adding a still image of the episode is no different from uploading an image of a fictional television show character to their page - they both serve as identification aids. See Walter White for example. The picture in the infobox serves to help identify the subject of the article.
If you're still willing to waste your time trying to reverse my contributions which I have spent hours adding, feel free to escalate your concerns. Otherwise, please leave me alone. LJF2019 talk 14:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
No I have no I have not reviewed them and stated that it was for the episodes that I did look at. I don't want to see you spending time uploading images that are likely to be deleted. I will continue to review them all, and those that do not meet the non-free content criteria will get listed at
FFD. -- Whpq (talk
) 14:39, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
@Whpq: I've already explained to you why and how the images meet NFCC#8. To quote - "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." As I explained, uploading an image greatly assists readers in identifying the episode and its contents, a point which you still have yet to address. The fact that you are deliberately avoiding my points and trying to escalate to FFD shows me that you aren't here to work with me, but rather against me. I've made a very, very valid argument for keeping the images I've uploaded, directly quoting the policy. LJF2019 talk 14:48, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

PROMOTION

PROMOTION
Hello, you have reviewed an wikipedia article and you have specify it as promotion. This is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laerta

I really do not understand as you will find the same pages on wikipedia that are online, where is the difference. The source is independent, we have added the newspaper links that have talked for this person, where is the problem. You can review these sources and you can see how independent are these newspaper, is the problem that they are albanian newspaper? Why all the foreign news are independent as we have seen to the other people on wikipedia, this is really a racism. VioMuc1 (talk) 09:07, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

@
WP:BIO for what constitutes notability for individual people. LJF2019 talk
09:40, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
@LJF2019: You really do not know the Albania newspaper. I am going to give you some details as you are taking this case personal as you have add this article twice for deletion, where there is not any problem with this article, you are misusing your role. The references:

http://top-channel.tv/2015/06/17/laerta-ylli-4-vjecar-i-instagramit/ --- Top Channel is a known television in Albanian and not a Albania gossip. Here is their website and their channel on YT (http://top-channel.tv/ https://www.youtube.com/user/TopChannelAlbania)

http://shekulli.com.al/laerta-dedukaj-te-punosh-qe-5-vjec-per-te-ardhmen-tende/ Shekulli is a known newspaper in Albania.

And so on. VioMuc1 (talk) 13:58, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

@VioMuc1: Na vjen keq që ndiheni ashtu, por zemërimi juaj ndaj meje po tërheq vëmendjen nga çështja në fjalë. Artikulli u emërua për fshirje dy herë sepse pasi kontestohet një fshirje e propozuar, ai shkon në seksionin "artikuj për fshirje" nëse dikush dëshiron të vazhdojë me procesin, gjë që unë vërtet e bëj.

Ta themi thjesht, një "model i modës" 10-vjeçar pothuajse kurrë nuk i plotëson udhëzimet e njohjes së Wikipedi-t, dhe ky artikull sigurisht që jo. Ndoshta nuk ju pëlqen, por revistat skicë të thashethemeve nuk demonstrojnë shquarësi. Faleminderit për mirëkuptimin tuaj zemër. LJF2019 talk 12:06, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Your message to me

I did provide a source for my changes at the WOBM-FM page. It was the first item under references. 72.68.91.133 (talk) 15:59, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Totenkopf

The totenkopf is defined as "consists usually of the human skull with or without the mandible and often includes two crossed long-bones (femurs)". Can you explain why images of the skull without femurs are being removed?

@Kjoenth: The image you used barely has the skull visible. Feel free to add it back. LJF2019 talk 01:15, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

G. Gordon Liddy

Your nearly instantaneous reversion of my two edits suggests that you need to improve your writing skills and become more familiar with Mediawiki style. Working on impulse control might be useful, too. — 47.35.51.208 (talk) 14:50, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@47.35.51.208: Not really kiddo. You changed the sentence to claim that he was an ex-felon with the explanation "Liddy wasn't a firearms dealer, so there was no need for a "license". I think I'd revert that any given day. Someone who is looking at that on a diff browser isn't going to have any context. The person who needs to "be more familiar with mediawiki style" is YOU. Try using a proper edit summary sometime? "Writing skills" have nothing to do with it - oh wait, it does. Your "writing skills" do. LJF2019 talk 15:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Schleswig

Could you put back please my text "Schleswig-Holstein.Research". I need to make some changes.

Here is article about cancer cluster, include Elbe-Leukemia-Cluster (Krümmel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cancer_clusters There is also information about radioactive contamination in German article about Schleswig-Holstein.

Ijaw people

Hello! So I noticed you reverted a couple of changes made by an IP address on the page Ijaw people. I went over the sources, just in case, and it turns out that the IP editor was right (though I understand why you'd immediately assume it was vandalism). I adjusted the information on the page accordingly; I just ask you remove the warning you issued to their talk page (and perhaps condsider replacing it with a welcome and a reminder to write more concise edit summaries?). Thanks. HeyArtemis (talk) 10:20, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

@HeyArtemis: There were no sources provided. LJF2019 talk 10:23, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
There are 4 existing sources on the page; either whoever originally wrote the statement misquoted them, or some later vandalism went under the radar. HeyArtemis (talk) 10:27, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Haylea Petrie content

Hi there

I am an former Australian softballer who played against Haylea Petrie. I have added a source for Softball Australia but am with Haylea at the moment and you are deleting all her achievements. Some of these achievements have not been recorded because they were before the internet and obviously computers. I have therefore added her achievements. Please give me more information how i can go about listing all of her achievements?

````2/4/2021 PLEASE - You've just deleted her other achievements that i have ordered in years.??? Help me out, dont delete content please?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:6E00:1E51:1300:F0F2:230D:71E1:A2A3 (talk) 10:40, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

New professional title

Dear editor,

My name is Jeffrey Morton. Today I updated my title on Wikipedia. Previously it stated Jeffrey S. Morton is a Professor of Political Science. The new line reads Jeffrey S. Morton is the Pierrepont Comfort Chair in Political Science. The university awarded this endowed chair to me last week.

The change that I made was reverted to the original text because I am the subject of the Wikipedia page, I certainly understand that. Can you please tell me what steps I should take in order for my new professional title to be reflected on the page? If you would like for a university official to make the edit, I can arrange that.

Thank you, Jeffrey Morton

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Kumarasamy Aravinth

Hi, I had my draft article up for review but it was deleted under section G11. In my previous draft, another editor mentioned that my article did not have significant coverage in secondary sources, so I updated it to include more information and reliable sources. However, it was then deleted by yourself, as unambiguous advertising. For my understanding, could you kindly explain why you considered it as unambiguous advertising? And would it be possible to retrieve the draft so that I can make the necessary updates? Thank you Kumarasamy Aravinth (talk) 06:53, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Marty Byrde

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Marty Byrde has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I wonder whether it wouldn't be best to expand the character section in

Ozark
there rather than try for a stand alone article. Most of what is included in this article is simply plot details.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello LJF2019,

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.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

WP:AFC
Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our

AFC participants
; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello LJF2019,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 815 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 859 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

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 and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

New Page Review queue June 2022

Hello LJF2019,

Backlog status

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

Backlog drive

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.

TIP – New school articles

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages.

WP:WPSCH/AG
has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

Misc

There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 10115 articles, as of 08:00, 18 May 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot

There has been significant discussion at

WP:VPP
recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Reminders
  • Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
  • If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
  • 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 and its software.
  • To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
Notes
  1. ^ not including another ~6,000 redirects
  2. ^ The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello LJF2019,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination
MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
Open letter to the WMF
The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
TIP - Reviewing by subject
Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
New reviewers
The
tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here
.
Reminders
  • Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
  • If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
  • 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.

Information icon Hello, I'm Whpq. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. This is not acceptable. Whpq (talk) 20:47, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

@Whpq: Fully deserved, no regrets. No sympathy for people who spend their time removing content for shits and giggles. LJF2019 talk 20:49, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

We have a policy prohibiting personal attacks. Since you have decided that policy does not apply to you, I have temporarily removed your editing privileges. Thanks, FASTILY 21:44, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

@Fastily: Watch out boys, we got a big alpha man behind the computer removing editing privileges. LJF2019 talk 23:03, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Yup, and if I you prefer, I can make it permanent. -FASTILY 23:54, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

August 2022

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

LJF2019 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hi, I am publicly appealing my block after appealing my block through the UTRS system. After rereading WP:DR, I have come to the conclusions that my actions when engaging with the editor who marked my photos for deletion was inappropriate, as it took the dispute personally and resorted to personal attacks. Disputes are common, an administrator is not always needed. RfC is an alternative, requesting a third opinion, or making a request at the appropriate noticeboard are alternatives. Having been blocked for over a week now, I believe I should be unblocked. LJF2019 talk 8:06 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)

Accept reason:

Unblock discussion

Endorse unblock. @Fastily: what say ye. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:04, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Ok with me, however it should be done on the condition that *any* new personal attacks will result in an immediate re-block. -FASTILY 21:12, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
