New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

Hello PamD,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I need your help

Hello PamD:

I am writing this message to ask for your help. I am a user who mainly edits existing articles on Misplaced Pages in English with the intention of improving them. But now I have a problem: I am interested in creating an article on Misplaced Pages in English with the biography of a German sociologist and sexologist named Monika Krause-Fuchs. Actually, I created that article, but after a few hours of creating it, another user converted it into a Draft, explaining that it was of poor quality.

Actually I created that article as a translation of an original German Misplaced Pages article called "Monika Krause-Fuchs" (the same name I gave to the equivalent article that I created in English Misplaced Pages).

Since that happened I have been improving the content of the Draft and adding references to it, but the problem now is that I do not know how to request that it be converted back into an article. I have been editing Misplaced Pages for some time now, but this is the first article that I have created, and I did not expect all this complication to arise.

That is why I ask you, please, for your help. I would like to ask you to review the Draft "Monika Krause-Fuchs" that I have created and values ​​if it is ready to be converted into an article and (if possible) if you could request its conversion into an article.

Here is the URL of the Draft that I created:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Draft:Monika_Krause-Fuchs?markasread=227864618&markasreadwiki=enwiki#/editor/0

Thank you Aziyade Gil (talk) 15:29, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Missing artist

Since you recently created Andy Edwards (sculptor), maybe you might want to the same for Marc Mellon, which has a equal number of potential redlinks. MB 16:50, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

• @MB: Interesting idea but I think I'll leave it to an American editor - I don't think I've heard of any of the people he's portrayed, unlike the Beatles, Cilla, Brian Clough etc. But I've left a note elsewhere. PamD 17:23, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Paramount Network (Southeast Asian TV channels)

A tag has been placed on Paramount Network (Southeast Asian TV channels) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Misplaced Pages, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
