Hello VickKiang:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a two week long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running until 14 January 2023.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 2400 articles, so start reviewing articles. We're looking forward to your help! ❯❯❯ Raydann^(Talk) 10:08, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you take a look at the sources on Papparapaam - are they significant coverage? (mostly interviews). DareshMohan (talk) 07:30, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DareshMohan: Thanks for the message, will have a look and vote in the AfD within a couple of days. VickKiang (talk) 02:59, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems based on the sources (mostly trivial mentions) in the article and my

WP:RS played a major role for the notable films listed in the Filmography. However, IMHO others might also reasonably make the case that the cinematography roles renders NCREATIVE being passed.

WP:NFILM. Two sources that are independent, reliable, secondary, and meets SIGCOV are of course required for GNG, whereas NFILM requires 2+ reviews, major award, etc... as you know.

Hello VickKiang,

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Hi, VickKiang,

I was used to see your contributions on a daily basis and have been wondering what was up with you. I see you are taking a WikiBreak which I think is great. I've taken WikiBreaks, one for 6 months when I was just starting out and got into some idiotic disputes, and later for 2 years when I moved cross-country and had medical issues and I think I only am still editing because of the breaks that I took a long time ago. So, I'm all for taking breaks! But I just wanted to check in to say I've missed seeing you around and hope you are just busy with off-wiki life. I look forward to your return whenever that happens! I value your opinions and contributions. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:05, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if this is just an issue for Indian film pages but I noticed that sometimes the director himself edits his own film for promotion maybe. Is there any wiki rules on this. Also do actors have managers that manage their wiki pages? Isn't all this not allowed/they should say who they are on their user page right? See Anilsvsn who left a message on my talk page.

WP:COI covers this, which strongly discourages but does not completely disallow editing. According to COI, you should disclose your COI when involved with affected articles, which one should explicitly do at their user page or the talk page in question. Moreover, it is recommended for one to discuss and suggest edits on the talk pages first, excepting when fixing grammar/spelling/links/MOS-related stuff, or undoing blatant vandalism/spam/BLP violations.

WP:MREL even for films. Only based on the two sources I’d be at a fairly weak delete assuming there’s no ATDs, but I haven’t given a more detailed search (which I’d do later when I have time), and other editors would likely also vote keep for this.

Is bundling several different films for the same deletion reason allowed? See the comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Puthiya Mugam (unreleased film). DareshMohan (talk) 19:22, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@

WP:BUNDLE says related articles can be bundled, but also an article with a fair or better chance of standing on its own merits should not be bundled—nominate it separately… Bundling AfDs should be used only for clear-cut deletion discussions based on existing policy. If you're unsure, don't bundle it. It also recommends bundling to be done before any substantive comment, or when 2 voters have voted but all of these votes are per nom or obviously agree with you. In this case three editors already opined before bonding, who generally agree with you excepting for one redirect vote, but one later also doubted about the bundling. IMO, opinions or whether the bundling is “clear-cut” would vary for this discussion. However, in the future if you bundle articles it would be beneficial to do so at the very start of the discussion and leave cases more contentious than this to separate AfDs. Thanks.

Is it possible to close a requested move and open an AfD for Chandramukhi (film series)? DareshMohan (talk) 08:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The closing instruction says, As long as no one has suggested any outcome besides not moving, the proposer of a move may close their own move request as withdrawn. In this case (and only in this case) of early closure the standards of determining appropriateness of non-admin closure do not apply; NAC must still be explicitly declared, however. Here, no one has commented at all besides you, withdrawing seems to be acceptable. You should still indicate why you closed the request (self-withdraw) and indicate that your close is a NAC one.

Do you think

@

Edward-Woodrow: IMO, GNG/NBIO applies here. Therefore, considering GNG/NBIO, the source the article contains has 300+ words with sufficient biographical detail and appear to meet SIGCOV IMO. The question IMO is reliability- on a cursory glance the website seems iffy, but the website notes that it is a web version of the book Eesti spordi biograafilise leksikoni (along with containing another database) per Google Translate (though I am unsure if the translated version is accurate). The Polish Wikipedia also suggests it being an encyclopedia-like lexicon. Because the encyclopedia appears to be reliable, if the website is still maintained with editorial oversight and have similar standards, then it will also be reliable. But I am not 100% sure due to the language barrier. My search on English failed to find more sourcing meeting GNG/NBIO, and I was unable to find an Estonian Wikipedia article for Poksi. So based what I can find this is probably not notable, but it's possible to likely there are Estonian language sourcing I can not find, so overall I would not AfD this due to being unfamiliar with Estonian sourcing. Also, applications of GNG for sport-related fields is polarising IMO, with highly different views and lots of debate on what meets GNG and what does not. Thanks.

Hello VickKiang,

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.

We have an editor who seems to think that if the sources and the guidelines are not making the case, then maybe it is time to insult the other editors.

There is a legitimate question as to whether to redirect to the town, or to the football team, but not whether to keep or delete. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:54, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are Indiaglitz reviews reliable ([3]: the discussion)? I am on the tipping point on whether to create an article or not. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Notable per: Wikipedia:Notability (films)#Other evidence of notability #1? Bascially there is a Rediff.com review, a Indiaglitz review and three sources saying that the film won a Guinness World Record Award cause of the lead actor (and not due to filmmaking). DareshMohan (talk) 02:34, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is

usage by other sources on Google Books (and there might be more in Tamil, but I don't speak that language). So if you create this article IMO the notability is borderline and it might get nominated at AfD, where it might end in no consensus. VickKiang (talk) 02:48, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

]

First and foremost, heartfelt thanks for replying. I was borderline not going to create and will not create it. 2 reliable reviews are needed. Btw, the language situation is more complicated in India (there are 5 main languages Hindi in North, and Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam in the south). The article in question was a Kannada film. DareshMohan (talk) 06:30, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is how we finish up with so many separate awards lists that have no independent sourcing, or only implied sourcing as in this case. A quick check in WL suggests that the awards are covered in specialist press, but it's always easier to list winners based on the award site. Espresso Addict (talk) 07:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that generally paywalls and considerations that listing the awards in the main page is

WP:N in 2006. There are some substantive coverage of the overall award, but basically all from two specialist magazines, True West Magazine and Wild West (other refs are much more brief or just press releases). However, for the Drama Script award, there is limited coverage anyway. VickKiang (talk) 08:10, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

Why can't any film with 3 reliable reviews be auto created by a Wikipedia bot? Why can't a bot scan the credits and update the cast section? In the times of AI, Wikipedia should advance. DareshMohan (talk) 08:03, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a lot of chatbots (at least the free ones) are that good yet. Consider

new page patrol

I am sure I would move it into draftspace or stubify, and tag for extensive cleanup.

I then asked Perplexity.ai to write a Wikipedia-style article. Perplexity has search engine access, so it can provide references and can access most of them, including the article you wrote. So, I asked it to write an article on a random film I thought of that has no Wikipedia article yet (The Lady Bird Diaries). The article it wrote still has some problems. It provides bare urls on default (which needs changing), cites IMDb and an unreliable source, and has some unreferenced puffery (i.e., compelling and insightful exploration of a significant historical figure). I did find this better than GPT-3.5 (note that GPT-3.5 has a cutoff by 2021), but I think that some human changes is still needed for Perplexity.ai for it to be converted to a Wikipedia-style basic start article. Whereas GPT-3.5's article is very poor and clearly will quickly be tagged (GPT-4's will be probably better, but I don't have a subscription). Thanks.

It would be better if AI could auto-create articles as Wiki is not a paying job. But nothing can perfectly mimick the human mind or create flawless articles. And

everyone is not in favour of AI taking over. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:01, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

Yeah, I mean to say that the bot create a stub article so humans can expand it. DareshMohan (talk) 01:25, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know what the rule here is in terms of Vietnamese letters. There is a random space in Live: Phát Trực Tiếp before the last character. DareshMohan (talk) 01:24, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I don't know the Vietnamese language and don't know its naming conventions- apologies. The Vietnamese Wikiproject is relatively inactive and won't be much help, perhaps you can contact some users proficient in that language for advice. VickKiang (talk) 00:11, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I can't seem to find active ones at Category:Vietnamese Wikipedians. DareshMohan (talk) 21:31, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am creating film articles with 3 reviews, 2 of which is reliable and 1 that may or may not be. Based on AfC, three is a good rule right? When there is 3 reliable reviews, without a doubt, the film is notable. DareshMohan (talk) 21:32, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NFILM explicitly states that 2 reliable in-depth reviews is enough in criteria 1, unlike GNG (which technically says "multiple" but this is open to different interpretation). Therefore, 2 reliable reviews is probably all right. VickKiang (talk) 09:01, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, VickKiang,

I see you have been editing for a while but I only ran into your edits tonight as I patrolled CSD categories. It's nice to see you back! I understand if you can't keep up the pace you had before but it's great to have you back spending some time on the project. I can always rely on your judgment. Liz ^{Read!

At WikiProject Board Games! What happened?? Are you ok? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:32, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

VickKiang, I was shocked to see this account blocked! I hope you can straighten out whatever has happened to this account that caused it to be compromised. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello VickKiang,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
