Question from 818amateurjournalist (05:18, 21 October 2023)

Hi I've been asked to create a page for the conoany I work for as a journalist. Amateur boxing play by plays since 1989 --818amateurjournalist (talk) 05:18, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Please read WP:COI and declare any such interests, and use edit requests to edit instead of directly contributing. Also before going to all that trouble, you may want to go over WP:NCOMPANY to make sure that the subject fits the criteria to have an article. Fermiboson (talk) 05:24, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from 818amateurjournalist (05:25, 21 October 2023)

I have information , interviews, pictures and documentations of boxing matches over the past decade or 2. But whenever I try to write about it, it gets rejected --818amateurjournalist (talk) 05:25, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

@818amateurjournalist As another user has stated in an above section it look like you have a conflict of interest because you work for the company for which your are attempting to create an article for. Please read to WP:COI and refer to WP:NCOMPANY to see if the company even fits the criteria to have an article. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 07:18, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Dcheagle:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

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

There is a backlog of over 2500 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from Jpcxmr (13:39, 23 November 2023)

Hello Dcheagle,

Thanks in advance for your kind support.

I am interested in Switzerland’s evolving concept of armed neutrality, which brings me to the wiki page “National Redoubt (Switzerland)”.

Specifically, I think the final section headed “Fate” could be expanded and updated to acknowledge and illustrate the results of post-Cold War pressure to demilitarise these fortifications, followed by the more-recent abrupt return to a ‘fortress mentality’ given the increased risk of pan-European warfare (Ukraine conflict etc.).

All this naturally feeds into the ongoing Swiss neutrality debate. One dilemma the new supporting sources may highlight is the whether or not armed neutrality even remains relevant given the global nature of new threats (e.g. terrorism) which some argue demand a collaborative, cross-border response. So ultimately, would maintaining/renewing the National Redoubt bolster Switzerland’s independence or contribute to the country’s isolation?

My proposed edit would offer a new title for this “Fate” section, illustrate the variety and extent of the civilian repurposing of former military bunkers, and update the fortifications debate with later military reviews, academic studies etc.

To avoid an article with excessive ‘dated’ detail, it may also be sensible to trim or remove a little of the current text. (?)

So I am looking to produce an enhanced section with new material and sources, which retains or reshapes 50% or so of the present section text.

Given this is my first Wikipedia venture, I thought it might be wise to consult with you early so that my efforts are informed by any tips which may occur to you to mention.

Thank you again for your time,

Kind regards,

Jpcxmr --Jpcxmr (talk) 13:39, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Lumanol (22:57, 5 December 2023)

Hey! I'm creating a biographic page for an artist, I have asked the museum IN São Paulo to allow me to publish a photo of a bust that was made in his honor as the primary photo of him. Will a simple confirmation email from their part work as clearance to publish? Thanks! --Lumanol (talk) 22:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

@Lumanol I assume that this is the image in question. It largely depends on if the museum in question owns the copyright or if the artist who created the bust owns the copyright. Eather party would need to provide a release allowing its use here. Commons has an interactive release generator for stuff like this and it can be found at this link here.

Question from Snehajanfy on Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines (12:23, 13 February 2024)

Hello, how long will it take for my page to get reviewed?

I have been waiting for over a week now. --Snehajanfy (talk) 12:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

@Snehajanfy if this is the page in question it has been reviewed. The reviewer has left notes on the page. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 05:36, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
oh yeah it was reviewed. Thanks for checking it out. However I'm not sure how to resubmit the draft after making the changes Snehajanfy (talk) 06:11, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
@Snehajanfy On the latest Submission declined notice which is the top notice, at the bottom of it is a Resubmit button however don't just resubmit the draft without making the changes that are listed in the declined notice as it will just result in it being declined yet again. From the looks of it the draft still needs some work. Namely more sources to back up whats written. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 07:03, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from NOLALADY504 (19:26, 17 February 2024)

Hi! I would like help publishing an article about artist Destin Conrad. I created a draft, but it was swiftly deleted. I've reached out to the deleter to see if there was a way to recover all the data I entered. If I am able to recover the data entered, would love your feedback on how to make sure it get's approved/published once I decide to submit. --NOLALADY504 (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

@NOLALADY504 Seeing as the Draft:Destin Conrad in question was deleted under G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion Criteria for speedy deletion its a safe bet that what ever you had written was in the form of advert or promotion of the topic instead of an encyclopedia article on the subject. I would advise a complete rewrite, with which I would be more then happy to help you with. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 06:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Dcheagle,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

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:
