Hello, Qwerfjkl,

While I appreciate you almost single-handedly handling this noticeboard, I would urge you to be discriminating and to turn down requests for redirects that might be soon nominated for deletion at

Hi, can you give some examples please? I can't see many at RfD (from this). I've noticed Misspelling Wizard has been asking for implausible typos. Thanks! ― Qwerfjkltalk 06:58, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Yes, Misspelling Wizard was on a tear and it is worrisome in an editor who has only been active for a week to create dozens and dozens of new pages. I should have mentioned that I don't believe the redirects I deleted were okay'd by you, the editor just created them on their own. When I looked over Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects and categories, I saw that you did say "No" to some proposed redirects.

My message here was not meant to highlight any mistakes you made but to encourage you to use your judgment and not feel compelled to fulfill every request. If you have any concerns about questionable requests, do not hesitate to check in with an admin or an experienced editor for a second opinion. Thank you for the work you do. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Qwerfjkl,

Just thought I'd let you know that Misspelling Wizard has been blocked as a sockpuppet and all of their page creations deleted. Thought you might like to know in case any new editors with similar interests suddenly show up, requesting redirects. Ponyo was the checkuser involved that you might contact if you have suspicions Misspelling Wizard has reappeared under a new account name. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:44, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: I made a reasonable request for admin support in unprotecting a page, Phi Sigma Chi, to allow creation of a redirect. The original admin who protected it is no longer active. You provided no clarification of your denial, while my request was in line with standard usage. My intent is to create a REDIRECT, not to write a new article. There are 24 other groups with such redirects at this school, essentially many-decades old fraternal groups most of whom do not have an article about themselves. A redirect back to the college article section is appropriate. All these I have enhanced with instructions for how to write a page that passes review. Qwerfjkl, if we are to grow Wikipedia, we need to nurture the newbies. And treat experienced editors with a modicum of respect. Jax MN (talk) 15:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

@

WP:AFCRC, and so it will be unlikely for your request to be answered there. ― Qwerfjkltalk

15:41, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Actually, looking at your request, it seems reasonable to unprotect the page. ― Qwerfjkltalk 15:55, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah, I'm just trying to get this outlier done so it's not forgotten. The rest of the redirects are complete. I've placed the request at Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection#Current_requests_for_reduction_in_protection_level, and await an answer. Jax MN (talk) 16:15, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for creating the new HTML entity redirects, but I just wanted to let you know that you accidentally put Category:HTML entity redirects onto the target pages, such as Vertical bar, instead of onto the new redirects. I'm hitting "undo" on all of them but just wanted to let you know why I was doing it. 64.203.186.76 (talk) 17:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I know. I think this is a problem with Cat-a-lot (a Commons: gadget for applying categories to files). ― Qwerfjkltalk 18:42, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I just requested a bunch of new HTML entity redirects. If you create them, you can just skip adding the category; I can do it. Thank you. 64.203.186.76 (talk) 13:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

The other day you suggested that I create an account so I didn't have to request all of these redirects. Instead of that, do you know if there's a way to ask someone to create them in bulk? Like, I would give someone a list of HTML entities and a list of articles where they could be targeted, and they click one button and all the redirects are created and categorized all at once. 64.203.186.113 (talk) 13:52, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

I suppose you could ask at

Hello Qwerfjkl,

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.

Hey, I noticed you recently filed some AfDs against

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021.                  Current and upcoming events September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here . July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page . The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Hello, Qwerfjkl,

This editor has overwhelmed Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects and categories with requests. As far as I know, you are the primary editor responding to requests on this noticeboard. I have forbidden them from making any more requests for one week and I just wanted to say you can choose how to respond to this deluge, respond if you like, refuse them or even revert them. I have no idea how much time & effort is involved in your work and I don't want you to feel like you have to spend all of your time responding to hundreds of requests, even if they are good ones. I trust your judgment. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:09, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I will stop making redirects if you want me to.Beanpickle (talk) 03:13, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Qwerfjkl, if you believe I have overreacted at seeing their contributions list with hundreds of noticeboard requests and you can actually handle this workload, let me know and I'll lift this block. It just seemed completely over-the-top and excessive. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:14, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
