Re: ¡Feliz Navidad!Creo que llego un poco tarde para esto... espero que tú hayas pasado unas felices fiestas, con tus seres queridos. Disculpa que no te haya contestado, he estado muy desconectado. Al menos llego a tiempo de desearte lo mejor para el 2019. ¡Un abrazo! --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 07:12, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
The sock case is now marked 'confirmed' by DoRD, but is not closed: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Filiprino. If there is really nothing more to do, I was thinking of doing the block and marking it as closed. Do you know of any other possible socks? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:52, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
NPR Newsletter No.17![]() Hello Crystallizedcarbon,
Six Month Queue Data: Today – Low – 2393 High – 4828 Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:18, 15 March 2019 (UTC) That wasn't meDear Crystallizedcarbon, You sent me a message stating you had reverted an edit someone with the same IP as mine had made to a page about an attorney called Robert Muise. This is 100% fine with me, as Verizon owns a large pool of IPs in my area (I typed "poop" mistakenly, but that may be more accurate, given the godawful service in my area -- no FiOS, for example), but until three minutes ago, I had literally never heard of Robert Muise and I certainly didn't make any edits on his page. So, no problem whatsoever. I won't be touching the guy's page in future, either, owing to my slight handicap of not knowing anything about him. All best -- shine on, you temporarily befuddled diamond -- LadyCrow — Preceding unsigned comment added by LadyCrow (talk • contribs) 04:43, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
NPR Newsletter No.18![]() Hello Crystallizedcarbon,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Tony RiccaHi, I follow Tony Ricca and help with the page to update previous or new information about him. His page was recently changed by removing so much of what is verifiable. The individual BurritoOfSadness15 has decided to remove most of it which was mostly opinion based if you read the reason for it. This is unacceptable. I did notice that some things can be referenced and that will be simple to do. Some sources will not be able to be sourced because information about Tony Ricca was done before it was online. Much for him is in print. One claim is the following: "there is no evidence, besides anything written about Tony Ricca, to suggest that there is a Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in DePace Museum. Source http://depacemuseum.com/" The Depace Museum has closed to locate in Wildwood, NJ. It did have a Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in it. If a statement needs to be made to verify this, I'm sure that can be done. Here's another: "Remove unnecessary information. There is no evidence, beyond his own YouTube page/website, that suggest Arena Kaged Wrestling, Showtime Wrestling, or the Powerslam Training School exist, all Facebook accounts have no posts, and all Twitter accounts retweet his personal Twitter account, without ever posting anything about wrestling events, training, or anything beyond his own, or his restaurants, Twitter account". Arena Kaged Wrestling and Showtime Wrestling are actual promotions. Arena Kaged Wrestling was on televised on WMCN during the early 2000's. Videos do show this on YouTube. Powerslam Traning School was a training center that Tony started in 1998. That is in print. It's appalling when removing information that is fact as it's done, it should not be removed. When someone says something doesn't exist and it did, they didn't research enough. Tony is in the new book The Transition Playbook for Athletes. It has 100 athletes and Olympic athletes and he's in it. I will update his page with that. It even shows evidence with the authors of the book. He's also listed in the former WWE personnel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_WWE_personnel_(N–R). His daughter, with the help from you was added to his page with her accomplishments and sourced too. Sourced in USA Today, The Courier Post, etc. and Tony Ricca too about his WWE wrestling. He removed that, her photo, without mentioning any of it and all of his photos. Why would the photo's be removed? Totally unacceptable. I replaced back what was being added on his page since the page originated to when I updated from last year. I wouldn't have done this if none of it were true. Tony is also top in the categories on Cameo.com. When someone does searches and social media searches, doesn't mean it didn't take place. I do understand the guidelines and know this individual has not met most of them. Evidence I think shows the individual is not from the USA where Tony is from and the WWE's main headquarters are at. This does not mean that information cannot be found but it can be difficult if someone doing this in the manner that was done needs further evidence before making any accusations and claims that things didn't exist, there's no evidence and so on. Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact title for BurritoOfSadness15. I hope that you can help me with this. Thank you Georgivac (talk) 03:53, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Its OkayHi And Sorry About that I was Being Stupid Thank You So Much For Making The Community A Better Place Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.191.129.179 (talk) 10:50, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your guidanceHello. I have just read your comments and it's very nice for you to help a newbie (I´ve started using Wikipedia as a resource due to a university project in which I am working: I have received my degree of translator in December, and I am participating in a project to translate articles on three different museums from Argentina where newfound paleonthologic and archaeologic findings are being exhibited). My primary source so far has been the original article in Spanish but I'll search for more sources to back up my article.

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019![]() Hello Crystallizedcarbon,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages. Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:38, 30 June 2019 (UTC) Article is being considered for deletionHi Crystallizedcarbon, A user has put considered for deletion on the Tony Ricca page. Before the same user put it as article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for sports and athletics which might need to be redirected if it falls under a different notability guideline. What can be done about this? This page has been up for several years and now a user wants to delete the page. Certain sourcing is outdated but cited. I look forward to your reply.

Htet Hlyam HmueHello Crystallizedcarbon, Please, don’t delete my page. I created this page for really famous Artist from Myanmar. I already authorized for this creation from artist. I can give references for this creation. Although this page need to add some information, I created by Htet Hlyam Hmue's Request. Please Review my article. Thanks.--Ryzen Lynn (talk) 09:51, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Manasunna MaarajuHello Crystallizedcarbon. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Manasunna Maaraju, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to movies or TV shows. Thank you. SoWhy 07:18, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019![]() Hello Crystallizedcarbon,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs. Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools. Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done. DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log. Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

I apologize for the comment about anti-clericalism. With that said, there is a clear bias among many wiki editors against the Catholic church and a true and real attempt to obfuscate the positive contributions the Church has made through the centuries to the development of Western Science. It's very frustrating to me, but I am used to it. I will delete my accusation above.
An apology from who unconstructively edited the article: Corea.Hello! I must first note that it was not my intention to change nor edit the given article, as well as do not remember to. I shall, nonetheless give my sincerest of apologies if this is the case, and feel both ashamed and embarrassed of my previous actions. Please excuse me. P.S: I do not know either how to accurately employ talk pages, thus please spend some bearance on me! 80.35.251.50 (talk) 15:23, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
New Page Review newsletter November 2019![]() Hello Crystallizedcarbon, This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 858 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

I saw that the novel THE WICKED KING did not have a separate page on wikipedia, I used the first book's page of this book series only as a reference to help me produce this material. Nothing has been deliberately taken out from any material, and the references are carefully researched. I understand if you still think of it as infringing or contradicting any policy."

I didn't think using it for the synopsis would mean infringing. As far as I have seen on many pages, blurb texts have been used in the synopsis. I got those text from goodreads. But, I apologize if putting that blurb text in the synopsis is wrong. thanks for clarifying.

![]() This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult. Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well. Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year. Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.
(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.
