Hello AntiDionysius,

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:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

I don't disagree with your removal of the material that had been added to Galanolactone because it consisted mostly of digressions about labdanes in general and aboutthe ginger family. But, in fairness, don't you think it would have been considerate of you to have explained it an edit summary? Largoplazo ( talk) 14:05, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

You may be right, yeah. I explained it in a fair bit of detail on the user's talk page, but an edit summary explanation for third party observers would probably have been a good thing for the reversion of a good-faith edit like that. AntiDionysius ( talk) 14:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Oh, you did! OK, I should have checked. Not that an edit summary would have been bad, but sorry for missing that you did address it! Best regards. Largoplazo ( talk) 15:12, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Hey! AntiDionysis Please move the Draft:Guwahati–North Guwahati Bridge to article space. SuperMightyBoy ( talk) 17:10, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi - that's the job of the Articles for Creation reviewer, pending the outcome of their review of the draft. AntiDionysius ( talk) 17:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

please move 🙏🙏🙏 SuperMightyBoy ( talk) 18:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I'm afraid I won't. AntiDionysius ( talk) 18:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi Adelbeighou! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

Could you pleas do some action against him as he continuesly tries to delete sporting history in the sport in Albania page this is gettint annoying otherwise make this page semi protected.

Thanks for your help. 2A00:20:D005:C3BB:E1D0:6B29:1D6F:57B1 ( talk) 21:10, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thanks for reaching out. A few things: first, I'm not an administrator so I am unable to either apply sanctions to a user or to semi-protect the page.

Second, having glanced at the editing history a little bit, it seems to me that this is not a clear cut case of vandalism or malicious editing on the part of Adelbeighou; rather, the two of you (assuming this and this edit were also you, which from the tone of the edit summaries looks quite likely) are engaged in a dispute about what information does or does not belong on the page. I don't know which of you is right about that content dispute, but both of you have crossed the line into edit warring at this point, which is a problem. You did make some attempt to reconcile the issue via a message on Adelbeighou's talk page, which is good, but you also didn't stop engaging in the edit warring behaviour and have been using personal attacks in your edit summaries and messages, which is not good.

Frankly, all of this is above my pay grade, so I am going to refer it to the admins, and we shall see what happens. AntiDionysius ( talk) 21:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply

You removed a restored fact I made to the Airdrieonians page. The addition I made was a fact that had been on the page for 12 months until it was removed for no apparent reason a few days ago. You cited that it wasn't verifiable- I don't understand this as it is factual and was previously in place for a significant time. Can you explain this please? True Airdrie ( talk) 23:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I removed the addition because it was unsourced. I was not aware that the same info had been on the page for some time before. It being there for a long time, though, does not circumvent the requirement that it, like all information on Wikipedia, be sourced. AntiDionysius ( talk) 23:59, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I have no idea why it was removed a few days ago when it was previously edited(11 months ago)by the person who removed it?

The only way to verify the fact would be to check the club website. It seems like an awful lot of trouble over something which is not disputed or inaccurate True Airdrie ( talk) 00:05, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I do not know why that person removed it either. You'd have to ask them. The club website would be a perfectly okay way to verify. The right thing to do then would be to add the website as a citation beside the relevant information. Then all other editors and readers can know where it came from and know that it is accurate.

The information can be found here. Is this acceptable for you? Thanks True Airdrie ( talk) 00:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Of course. Please feel free to re-add the info with that as a citation. AntiDionysius ( talk) 00:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I'll try! I'm extremely bad at anything technical True Airdrie ( talk) 00:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply
