Guild of Copy Editors September 2023 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the September 2023 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since June. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. David Thomsen: Prolific Wikipedian and Guild member David Thomsen (Dthomsen8) died in November 2022. He was a regular copy editor who took part in many of our Drives and Blitzes. An obituary was published in the mid-July issue of The Signpost. Tributes can be left on David's talk page. Election news: In our mid-year Election of Coordinators, Dhtwiki was chosen as lead coordinator, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo continue as assistant coordinators, and Baffle gab1978 stepped down from the role. If you're interested in helping out at the GOCE, please consider nominating yourself for our next election in December; it's your WikiProject and it doesn't organize itself! June Blitz: Of the 17 editors who signed up for our June Copy Editing Blitz, 12 copy-edited at least one article. 70,035 words comprising 26 articles were copy-edited. Barnstars awarded are here. July Drive: 34 of the 51 editors who took part in our July Backlog Elimination Drive copy-edited at least one article. They edited 276 articles and 683,633 words between them. Barnstars awarded are here. August Blitz: In our August Copy Editing Blitz, 13 of the 16 editors who signed up worked on at least one article. Between them, they copy-edited 79,608 words comprising 57 articles. Barnstars awarded are available here.

Hello. I am non-seriously working on

@Usernamekiran, I assume you're using pywikibot. Do you want something like page.revisions()? — Qwerfjkltalk 10:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

thanks. Yes, I'm using pywikibot. I had tried using page.revisions() but couldn't get it correctly. My code so far for getting the info is as following. I have also created another chunk for creating archive pages, it is working correctly. The only thing I'm stuck with is the diff text. —usernamekiran (talk) 10:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

import pywikibot

site = pywikibot.Site("en", "wikipedia")
source_page_title = "Template:In the news"

source_page = pywikibot.Page(site, source_page_title)

# Most recent edit to the source page
latest_revision = source_page.latest_revision

# Extract information from the latest revision
editor_name = latest_revision.user
edit_time = latest_revision.timestamp
edit_summary = latest_revision.comment

# Create the archive entry with username, timestamp, and edit s
archive_entry = f"Editor: {editor_name}, Timestamp: {edit_time}, Summary: {edit_summary}"

# Print
print(archive_entry)

I think it just clicked me. But I'm on mobile. I will let you know how it goes in a couple of hours. —usernamekiran (talk) 10:56, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran, so do you want something like site.compare(old, diff, difftype='table')? — Qwerfjkltalk 11:24, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

I tried multiple methods, I am getting bizarre outputs. I am also getting texts from irrelevant articles. I tested the script on the template:in the news, as well as on my userpage - same issues. I have been unable to get/load the diffs. can you get the diffs? —usernamekiran (talk) 13:18, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

When I tried to investigate the issue further, I got following error: pywikibot.exceptions.InconsistentTitleError: Query on [[en:User:Usernamekiran]] returned data on 'Yuri Petukhov (footballer)' CRITICAL: Exiting due to uncaught exception InconsistentTitleError: Query on [[en:User:Usernamekiran]] returned data on 'Yuri Petukhov (footballer)'
In the html output (of previous script), there was mention of "Yuri Aleksandrovich Petukhov" which is a redirect to "Yuri Petukhov (footballer)". These two articles are not mentioned, and were never mentioned in any previous version of my userpage. However KiranBOT had updated the category of "Yuri Aleksandrovich Petukhov", after that, the "Yuri Aleksandrovich Petukhov" page was moved to "Yuri Petukhov (footballer)" by some other editor. I still have no idea why texts of these articles were popping up in the output. —usernamekiran (talk) 13:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran, I just used

print(site.compare(latest_revision.parentid, latest_revision.revid))

and it worked for me — Qwerfjkltalk 15:02, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Qwerfjkl,

You closed this CFD discussion on 9/7 as Rename but the category is now empty. So, I'm not sure how to proceed with this. Is the CFD bot going to rename this category> Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:35, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Liz, I suppose either way the category is eligible for C1 deletion. I would assume the bot will still rename the category. — Qwerfjkltalk 06:14, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. You cannot write an article about yourself. — Qwerfjkltalk

@MSGJ, sure, I'm happy to do that. I'll start writing the code for that after I run T22 and T23. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:13, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi - I've noticed that Qwerfjkl (bot) has broken a couple redirects while fixing the links to episode list anchors - diffs can be found here and here. Tollens (talk) 02:31, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Here's another one - not sure if this is a huge deal as a one-time run but just want to make sure you're aware of the errors. Tollens (talk) 05:22, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Tollens, thanks. I wasn't aware that EpisodeNumber was used like that. I doubt too many pages were affected by it, however. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:49, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Qwerfjkl,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the

NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here

- it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet

WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more

, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Maybe relisting would be better? Not many folks commented, but weren't there two opinions in oppose to just one support? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:30, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

@Piotrus, at CfD discussions are rarely if ever relisted 3 times. Also, I factored the discussion directly above it in my close, which was discussing the same topic and had broader participation (I closed it as no consensus as well).
Finally, of course, I determine consensus based on the strength of arguments rather than their number, so that there was a numeric majority supporting doesn't matter (that much). — Qwerfjkltalk 07:27, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Liz, I thought it came under a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion but if I'm mistaken, feel free to delete it now per G7. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:07, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Obviously this goes for both categories. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, it is my first time contributing to wikipedia. I did that by adding a new language (italian) to an already existing page. It was online for several minutes but now it is under revision. Is there something that i have to do to facilitate its publication? --WormwoodMatilda (talk) 16:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

@WormwoodMatilda, according to Special:Contributions/WormwoodMatilda you have not edited any pages other than this one, so can you please give a link? — Qwerfjkltalk 17:09, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, sure. Here is the link:

@WormwoodMatilda, as far as I can discern, the issue was that you used automatic translation to Italian, which is not permitted. You need to be a fluent speaker of Italian. That said, I don't speak Italian, so you maky have better luck asking on w:it:Discussioni utente:Mastrocom. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

I am a fluent italian speaker and I checked the text also with some other native friends. Therefore, I believe that there is no issue about the translation quality. I have already wrote to mastrocom. Is there any other thing which I can do in case I do not recieve any reply from her part? WormwoodMatilda (talk) 19:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

@WormwoodMatilda, there isn't much more I can help you with. The Italian Wikipedia community has different rules from the English one, so you'd do better to inquire over there. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:15, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Can you rephrase that? I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:51, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

User above appears to be inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages for unknown reasons. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:5151:CB04:5FBE:E09C (talk) 12:46, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:5151:CB04:5FBE:E09C, indeed, that's why I didn't bother pinging them. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:56, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
