User talk:Legacypac/Archive 17
StatementI made a poor choice in using a particular word to describe behaviour I found problematic and threatening from an Admin. I never intended to label anyone with an offensive word, but rather to comment on behaviour. I was recently labeled xenophobic by an Admin at AN, but racism or fear of foreigners goes against every fibre of my being (as a read of my userpage suggests). Therefore I understand how hurtful having an inappropriate label applied to your good name is. So I unreservedly apologize to User:BrownHairedGirl and the community for any offensive I caused. I have repeatedly asked BHG to lay off the criticisms because while she may make some valid points she also makes significant errors in her statements about me. I requested she no longer post on my talkpage and that was ignored so I started removing her unwelcome posts but that backfired as well. Kindly consider that I am only a participant on Wikipedia to increase access to knowledge for our readers and to make our coverage of that knowledge as correct, verifiable and balanced as possible within the constraints of a decentralized volunteer effort.

ANI Notice concerning SNC-Lavalin affairCurly Turkey has proposed a TBAN for Legacypac concerning the SNC-Lavalin affair. Full disclosure, he has also made allegations against myself, which unsurprisingly I think are without merit. I take no position on those against Legacy at this time. Anyway, I am not sure how this should be dealt with given Legacy's ongoing block for other reasons. The ANI is here should editors see the need to comment.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 17:41, 2 May 2019 (UTC) Wikipedia:X3 listed at Redirects for discussion![]() An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:X3.

NPR Newsletter No.18![]() Hello Legacypac,
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.

ArbCom: Disputes at SNC-Lavalin affairYou are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Disputes at SNC-Lavalin affair and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use. Thanks, Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 01:16, 16 May 2019 (UTC) Are you there and do you care?There's a lot of talk at the case request about the status of your block as it goes forward, which now seems to be happening. I thought maybe it might uncomplicate matters if you indicated whether you are even watching WP right now and if you care to participate in the case at all. (be aware that while your participation is by no means mandatory, not participating does not prevent the possibility of further sanctions if the committee deems that to be an appropriate course of action) Beeblebrox (talk) 22:12, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Please review this decision and draw the arbitrators' attention to any relevant material or statements. Comments may be brought to the attention of the committee on the proposed decision talk page or, if you are unable to edit that page due to a block, by emailing the Arbitration Committee at arbcom-en New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019![]() Hello Legacypac,
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.
