Dr Salvus, you may welcome any user who has made positive contributions and who has not been welcomed. However that doesn't mean you should. There's no need to, unless there's a specific reason you want to. I suggest focusing on one area and improving there rather than trying to do all the things. StarM 12:44, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help. Some years ago, there was a mass creation of articles on Italian friendly matches, for example Torneo Città di Bologna and Coppa Misura (Cesena). There seem to be a good 20 to 30 articles with similar lack of content and sourcing. Firstly, are they notable? Nothing in the article indicates that these matches are actually notable or significant in any way. Secondly, assuming that they did receive significant coverage, is there a way of accessing Italian newspaper archives to find sources for them? Thanks!

Hi again Dr Salvus, I hope all is well. I was wondering if you could take a look at Torneo Nicola Ceravolo and Torneo Città di Milano. The referencing is obviously minimal, at the moment. Do you think that there is any chance that these friendly tournaments could be notable? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:40, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

The Milano tournament, I found one source here. I can't really read any of it as my Italian is weak. I can't find anything about the Ceravolo tournament... Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:42, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

My friend, this is the exact same thing that I and others tried to explain to you, and which got you in such trouble, earlier this month. You have apparently jumped (once again) to a somewhat advanced step to get your

. It was neither created, nor expanded five-fold, in the last 7 days, and it's not a GA at all anyway. You also listed the article under March 27, which is supposed to be the date it was expanded fivefold, but of course, the article isn't even four times the size it was when you created it last June.

I strongly recommend that you withdraw your nomination, so that you don't needlessly irritate the hard-working editors who tend the DYK project. Otherwise, I can well imagine that somebody will bring you back to AN/I, and you don't want that. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 00:23, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Dr Salvus, this is precisely why I recommended you sit back and watch before jumping in. You are not familiar enough to submit your own DYKs (for what it's worth, neither am I). Please take the advice from JohnFromPinckney and withdraw. StarM 00:30, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi all, I just marked the DYK submission as ineligible [1] and came here to let Dr Salvus know, and didn't notice the above comments until now. JohnFromPinckney and StarM are correct, this is not eligible for DYK at this time, and unfortunately will not likely be eligible in the future, since it's a list and can't be promoted to GA status. I recommend slowing down and following the excellent advice that the other editors have been giving you, and asking questions if you need help.

Dr Salvus, hi, you might remember I gave you some feedback a while ago. You say that To avoid this I have decided not to name any articles in GA, FA, FL and DYK. Have you decided this now, or are you saying that you decided this before? Because you were strongly advised to make that decision a couple of weeks ago, right, but you still chose to nominate Template:Did you know nominations/List of Coppa Italia finals two days ago?

I'm sorry to hear that the ANI discussion in the past caused you distress. You should always try to prioritise (redacted) work where you can and if you are overly obsessing with Wikipedia, you need to ask yourself whether it's worthwhile trying to continue to edit here. You say English is your third language, so I would find it surprising if you were able to write well enough for DYK, GA, FA and FL—I myself can barely do this with English as my native language. You also mentioned recently that you're struggling to think of things you can do on Wikipedia. Isn't that a sign that you might want to step away? If you like the idea of contributing to a wiki, perhaps you could find a Fandom (formerly called "Wikia") wiki on a topic you enjoy that needs help. Or if you like learning, maybe a quiz website like Sporcle might be rewarding.

If you do want to stay on Wikipedia, that's great, but you need to find some easier areas to work in that are more suited to your skills. For instance, we have a lot of poor-quality articles about TV episodes at my neck of the woods,

WikiProject Television

, and we'd benefit from people finding a TV show they like with already-existing articles for each episode that are undersourced and adding reliable reviews (from newspapers, not blogs) to the "Reception" section.

I assume you're aware of different language versions of Wikipedia, but we also have sister projects like Wiktionary (wiki dictionary), Wikiquote or Wikidata that you might enjoy learning about. But the principles you have hopefully learned from your experiences here—take things slowly, don't repeat the same mistakes if you get constructive feedback, and reach out for help before you're at the last chance saloon—apply everywhere you go. — Bilorv (talk) 21:37, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

{u|Dr_Salvus}} if you're not taking Bilorv's (excellent) suggestion because you see GA,FA,DYK as a route to adminship and TV not, I suggest you have a second thought. Writing good content is more important than getting awards for your content. Focus on what you enjoy writing about, not what you think you should. StarM 17:55, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Salvus

18:13, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Dr_Salvus sure. If you look at my user pace you'll see I write on museums, art, historic sites and some random topics. I think I may have had a DYK (there's probably someone who knows how to check, I don't), but have never had a Good or Featured Article. I would recommend just focusing on writing about what you enjoy, whether that's footy, music or anything else. Don't worry about where that writing might lead. It takes a very long time to become an administrator, and there are relatively few. That is not something to focus on at this stage of your editing career. StarM 18:21, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

(No recorded DYKs, Star Mississippi. This tool is the easiest way to test: this page would list them if you had any, compare something like mine for what the tool looks like when you do have some. Anyway, this supports your point that DYK/GA/FA is not necessary as a route to adminship.) — Bilorv (talk) 18:36, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Dr Salvus, why do you want to be an administrator? They are like the janitors of this website—admin tasks are about taking out the trash (deleting pages that the community have decided to delete, blocking people who are not here to help etc.) so that all of us can get on with the important jobs of writing an encyclopedia. I think you need to rid yourself of the goal of becoming an administrator, because if that is your only goal then you are likely to fail it and waste a lot of time in the process. Perhaps you could set a new goal involving improvement of the encyclopedia and making a positive impact on our readers. (That goal doesn't have to involve anything that's "featured" or recognised by the community. For instance, when I write new articles I often don't put them through DYK, GA etc. but I have my own criteria for when it's a success: when I'm happy with the writing, enjoyed learning about the topic, think the page would be useful to someone researching the topic etc.) — Bilorv (talk) 18:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

19:33, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, in case you were including me in that. I was quite interested in becoming one when I was younger, but I gained a new perspective over time. I implore you to think again about what I've written above: being an admin is not a bad thing to be, but it's not the be-all and end-all, not the most important thing an editor can be, and not the right path for you within the next couple of years. — Bilorv (talk) 19:41, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Please don't worry about the messed up ping. It's hard at times and I struggle to keep up with the changes to Wikipedia. I became an admin at a very different time in my life. I certainly couldn't have earned it now. You can see I was very active in 2008-09 but other than 2012, minimally so until last year when my workspace changed and I had more ability to edit. Personally I enjoy updating articles and writing new ones. I don't do many "admin jobs" although I did monitor

For sure. It's best described as more responsibility, even though we're all volunteers. I don't have to check UAA/AIV,but if no one does, there's a backlog. You're not missing out on anything by not being an admin. Much as you might shadow people while considering different jobs, you could do that on Wikipedia too.

Star Mississippi isn't the editor who can answer this. It failed because of all the reasons outlined in each of the three featured list nominations. Re-read these comments again to see the reasons why it failed. — Bilorv (talk) 20:54, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@Bilorv:

I think the article meets all FL criterias (exempt the 6th). Unfortunately I shouldn't have candidate it for the third time, which made this article unsuitable for FL. I have made all the improvements proposed. Now I will not name any GA, FA, FL and DYK until December.

21:03, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Bilorv. I am unfamiliar with the workings of featured lists, but in addition to the links Bilorv gave you, Dr_Salvus I recommend the thread above from JohnFromPinckney which had some helpful information as to process and how they work. StarM 21:13, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The article does not meet all FL criteria, and the generously detailed comments at the nominations tell you why. By wrongly saying that the third nomination opening is what "made this article unsuitable" (it was only one factor), you are showing that you do not listen to editor feedback. You allude to the issue above with "lack of data about attendance", but that you have tried your hardest to find data and not found any does not mean that no data exists, anywhere. You will run into problems wherever you go on Wikipedia if you continue to ignore editors' feedback. — Bilorv (talk) 21:16, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

21:39, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Dr Salvus, I say this in the nicest possible way, but I do see you attempting to pick up all sorts of parts of wikipedia all at once, and my suggestion would be to calm down. Wikipedia is a vast beast with lots of different places people sit and work. As you master one thing, then maybe dip your toe into another. I fear you wish to have advanced rights (admin, rollbacker, pending changes etc.) but we only give these things to people who can and have shown for many months/years that they are trustworthy and know what they are doing. Rather than focussing on things that may be good in a potential RfA, you may be better picking a particular subject and running with that. If you wish to work on content, then find an article on a subject you like, and expand it to include more information and fix it up. When you have done a lot of these, you can look into what the criteria is for GAs or DYKs and see if an article you have made is in a similar nic to others. Or, don't do that, and continue to improve articles, which is what we are all here for.

Or, maybe you'd like to work with counter vandalism. I don't know everything about this, but you don't need advanced rights to do this. You can do this for a while, get to know the processes and then maybe ask for a toolset. I fear you move on too quick and don't read everything which can only hurt you in the long run. I'm here if you need some help, but I feel you would be better off finding your needlehouse. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Why are you so desperate to become a rollbacker? Many editors have successfully fought vandalism here for years without seeking or attaining rollbacker rights. Twinkle allows you to deal easily with vandalism, for example. Yet you seem to have asked several times either directly for the right, or how to get it. If you're not careful, you risk being labelled as a hat-collector (especially when combined with you stated desire to become an admin on your user page), and will jeopardise any future chances of getting advanced rights.

Why did you revert the edit made by me on the City of North Tonawanda’s wiki page? The current information is outdated. 74.78.32.31 (talk) 21:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

I though that was vandalism.

Salvus

22:01, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Dr Salvus, you have to be selective with which Twinkle button you press for rollback. Twinkle has three types of rollback - rollback, rollback (AGF) and vandalism. Read this to know the differences between the three. Regarding this, you had reverted by clicking "vandalism". That button leaves only a default edit summary and used only for reverting obvious vandalism. This was a correct use of vandalism button. If you felt the North Tonawanda edit was wrong, you could have clicked undo button and given edit summary as "unsourced name change". I see from the above thread that you are interested to become a rollbacker. You need to show sufficiently good judgement about which of Twinkle's rollback buttons you click if you want to be a rollbacker. Good luck. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 16:35, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Why did you revert the edits I made to the Daybreak (2019 TV series) page? I condensed it for several reasons, which I had listed in my explanation when I edited. It’s written poorly, is too long and unnecessary (nearly 3000 words), inconsistently switches between first and third tense, makes references to a gay character as “a open Homosexual”, and in reference to another character states “she wears the tradition Hijab Indian Woman wear” which is grammatically and factually incorrect.

I can provide more evidence as to why I edited it, including misspellings, run-on sentences, and unnecessary capitalizations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.36.184 (talk)

I think you have made amazing progress, Dr Salvus. I think my primary issue was that you seemed to want to move forward with what you thought the answer was, regardless of whether there was information you were missing. You've had more discussions about sourcing and I think you have a better idea for why the English wikipedia might be more complicated than you expected. That's to be expected of a new user, but you paused and listened, which is a big part of why you weren't blocked. You're growing as a user, which is commendable. I will never learn the possessives. I figure if I travel to Italy again and can communicate with vocabulary, no one will judge my ocassional: mine cookies, which will inevitably happen. :) Will let you know if any other Italian articles cross my list, I am making a small dent in the 100KM winners as it was disappointing there aren't more articles.

About the request for a reliable source on the A.S. Roma 2021-22 Season page

Hello there, I have received your message asking for a reference after I included the referee in the friendly details. While I have done as asked, it is not common and rarely seen (if ever) to have a reference next to the referee's name. I would like to re-edit it and remove the reference all together because the official match report from the Roma website was published. What is your take on this?

Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8A0:5D3E:500:94AA:CE1F:5624:CE58 (talk • contribs)

Re: FLC tack page question

Re this: From what I know, yeah. But, the instructions say: "Nominators should not add a second featured list nomination until the first has gained substantial support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed." But what constitutes in gaining a "substantial support" is bit unclear. If I am not wrong, it means at-least 2 supports with no outstanding oppose, and reasonable time has passed. Perhaps, a coordinator could confirm this. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 20:28, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Pretty sure he means a director or delegates, co-ord (or co-ordinator) is used in other projects for the same role. In any case, yeah, it's vague on purpose- we don't want people vote-counting (because it's not up to the nominators to determine what counts as a "substantial" review), and we do want people to ask, especially if it's not a series of similar lists. It's the same thought process behind why you won't find an explicit rule about when a nomination is ready to promote, even though the pattern is pretty easy to discern: because promoting a list is about more than just counting "support" words and rubber-stamping it, and we don't want nominators to get the impression that they just need to get the right number of magic words. --PresN 01:42, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Dr Salvus. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at

WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page

. In addition, please remember:

• usually
  not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 14:11, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Oversighter here. This doesn't qualify for oversight, but I'd recommend removing it from the user page, as it's a borderline BLP issue.

I think in trying to help I made it worse.

Risker gave some further thoughts about why it might be a good idea to remove that section, and I elaborated on her comment. As we have now established, it is not a BLP violation, so whether you keep or remove the section is entirely up to you. Primefac (talk) 08:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Dr Salvus. I thought pretty hard about whether or not to revision-delete the content involved. If the request had come from the subject, I probably would have done so; however, since this page isn't generally available under a google search for the subject's name +Wikipedia, the impact of the negative commentary on the subject is minimal. The impact on your own reputation, by using your userpage to make negative commentary about a public figure, may result in some administrators and fellow editors to have a negative impression about you. The admins who spend more time granting additional permissions tend to look pretty closely at editing behaviour; not just that relevant to the permission request being made, but overall. I see that you've now removed the content involved from your page. As noted, any user can request that any edits they have made to their userspace be deleted, without reason given. I'd be happy to revision-delete that content under the edit summary "user request" if you wish. Ping me if you would like this. Risker (talk) 06:53, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

No worries. I'm actually very active, just not visibly on this project at the same time as you are. The ping you send with this was the 32nd Wiki-related email I've followed up on today. Risker (talk) 22:08, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

Hello Wikipediæ philosophia,

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 817 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.

Why are you Reviewing my sandbox?

Why are you reviewing a page in my sandbox? I didn't think sandboxes came under the scope of WP:NPP? I've reverted your edit because (again) it showed a misunderstanding of the English language being used. Regards, Gricehead (talk) 21:26, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

You tried to join two completely unrelated sentences by changing the plural noun "tiers" to the determinative pronoun "which". I can't understand how that would make sense in any context, and I'm not sure you should be trying to make grammatical corrections on en-wiki if you can't see it, as it's not healthy for the project.

In retrospect, I was maybe a little harsh. Sorry for that. Your English is undoubtedly better than my Italian. But that's why I don't edit it-wiki. I generally only edit en-wiki, despite competence in French and Portuguese (where I think I have a handful of edits between the native wikis) Gricehead (talk) 09:40, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Gricehead, there are many reasons for which I preferred editing here rather than on itwiki. For example, here I can care about Juventus U23 players, but on itwiki these players are hardly ever notable. I have a big interest in Coupe de France (and in FA Cup) but I wouldn't be able to do a lot there as much content isn't notable enough. But in primis, I decided to edit here to improve my English which was rubbish, and that helped me a lot, much more than what schools or Cambridge English lessons can offer (I'm currently doing a B1 course and I'm going to have an exam in June/July).

Didn't know you spoke Italian, how long have you been studying this language and how much is it difficult?

Orphan CdF Preliminary regional articles

Hi, you've tagged a bunch of CdF preliminary regional articles as orphans today (presumably using an AWB setting or a default). None of them are orphans, as can be proven simply by checking "what links here" on the article. Each one is linked to from at least one place (usually the main article for that seasons CdF preliminary round. Can you check these please, and revert where appropriate?

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

Hello Wikipediæ philosophia,

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: 12731 articles, as of 06:00, 4 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.

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.

No problem. No, I won't do a GA review; I'm not an experienced GA reviewer. It also would be improper of me to review an article I've just copy-edited. I think it would pass a GA review though, it seems to meet the requirements. Good luck and cheers, Baffle☿gab 03:07, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

Hello Wikipediæ philosophia,

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

Rabiot infobox

I'm sorry, but I've undone your edits to his infobox. I see no reason why it wasn't already accurate and consistent with how loan spells are usually dealt with in the infobox. He never had two spells as a PSG B player because he remained contractually a PSG player during the loan at Toulouse. Stuart1234 (talk) 20:45, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
