What are Mordvans? (Mokshas article)
It was Russian Census 1926 when Mokshas number last time was calculated separately. I didn't write about Mordvans. You removed the first official mention of Mokshas given by Minorsky (1959) and replaced 21th c sources to 1960s. What is the problem with young girls in Moksha clothes 2021 photo replaced to archaic Russian colonial ethnography B/W one? It's a colonial time photo. Bad memories, you know? ----Numulunj pilgae (talk) 21:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Thankyou for nominating an article on an Olympic competitor for deletion
I would like to thank you for nominating an article on an Olympic competitor for deletion. Wikipedia has way too many such articles and it is nice to see people starting the move to remove them. We have well over 100,000 stub articles on Olympains, the vast majority of which do not meet our current inclusion criteria. This is truly a daunting problem.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the thank you. This is daunting. I'm getting lots of dislike from users regarding nominating athletes for deletion. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:39, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Rsjaffe: Just to give you a taste of the amount of stuff going on here, there's nearly 2,000 Olympic athlete stubs from the Games between 1900 to 2000 involving athletes that didn't receive a medal that are less than 1kB. If you take that number up to 2kB, you start to get over 7,500. Most of the people who added these articles were probably itching to pad their article creation statistics. ~XyNqtc 21:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Nomination of American Polarity Therapy Association for deletion
Hi
- I appreciate your concern. But Wikipedia has rules for what is appropriate for an article. Wikipedia is not intended to be a comprehensive listing, rather a collection of articles about things that meet the notability requirements. Read 02:31, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Thankyou for nominating for deletion the article on Roger Jacobs.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:08, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
I didn't write the article, I just moved it from Cliff effect to a separate article. Algotr (talk) 21:25, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
What makes you think that the stub article of Kishore Mahato can't be on mainspace? He is ODI national cricket player of Nepal and has already played multiple games against test certified nation. If you can enlist some problem let me fix that? I also know the basic criteria which article can be or can't be on mainspace. DIVINE 📪 15:32, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello Rsjaffe/Archives/2022,
- 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.
- 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: 10174 articles, as of 04:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at
- 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.
