Hi BusterD thanks for your message. I'm glad you were pleased with the way the Scotland Portal turned out. It's good to get some positive feedback in these harrowing times, so thanks for that :).
I have maintaned the Scotland Portal since around 2007, but was on an extended Wikibreak for several years from around 2011 / 12, returning around 2016, shortly before WP:ENDPORTALS erupted. That was disheartening, because even though many people call their usefulness into question and claim low readership numbers prove that they are "not wanted", it's just nonsense in my (naturally inclusionist) opinion. The only people who don't want them are the Anti Portal squad, a clear case of WP:IDLI. In my view if even a small percentage of readers find them interesting / useful, well that's a Win-WIn situation. What harm are they doing, if they benefit SOME users? Why the frenzy to delete hundreds of them, not counting the fully automated Portals that TTH went on a rampage with, or the thousands of abandoned useless Stubs littering article space.
Anyway, following my return I was saddened to find the Portal in a state of disrepair, and considerably out of date, so I joined the Portals Wikiproject. I was heartened to find that there were proposals to automate content through Transclusion which would ensure the content was always up to date and reflected the source article precisely. A BIG step forward, I thought, and to be fair to TTH he was instrumental in identifying this problem of sub-page content becoming stale and out of sync with the source. That's one of the primary arguments of the deletion mob, that sub-pages are merely "Redundant Forks", although I disagree, looking at it from the perspective of the true meaning of Fork, in a software souce code sense. A copy is made with the intent of branching out to something entirely new by modifying it - something that was never the intent of any Portal subpages. That however did not address the issue of content being out of sync with the source Article, or the risk of Vandalism of sub-pages spreading un-noticed. So the sub-page model was kind of history I feel, and that's where TTH went crazy, thinking that with the new automated tools he could automate the whole process and create a portal in seconds. It was true, but sadly misguided. But here we are. I'd be happy to give you an outline of the methods I used to re-vamp the Scotland Portal , but it may take some time to set it out clearly. It was a long slow process for me. If it's OK with you I'll document it here on your talk page over the course of the next few days. My only words of advice at this stage are:
{{Transclude lead excerpt | Scotland}}
I've worked hard to make the Portal as deletion proof as possible, focusing on the objections raised in the various MFD's. But who knows, I'm sure the Deletion Squad will think up some cunning new plan, sadly. I'm not sure which Portals you're working on, but if you want I'd be happy to take a look for you and give you some opinions / options. And if you need any further help, I'm a talk page away.
All the best. -- Cactus.man ✍ 22:01, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

In the month of September, Wikiproject Military history is running a project-wide edit-a-thon, Backlog Banzai. There are heaps of different areas you can work on, for which you claim points, and at the end of the month all sorts of whiz-bang awards will be handed out. Every player wins a prize! There is even a bit of friendly competition built in for those that like that sort of thing. Sign up now at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/September 2019 Backlog Banzai to take part.

Hello BusterD,
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.

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Hello BusterD,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 803 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.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the
NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some
really cool awards.
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.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals/Evidence. Please add your evidence by December 20, 2019, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals/Workshop.

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.

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.

Hello, I noticed that some of your recent edits to reinstate various usages of {{ Transclude random excerpt}} have seemingly left a number of subpages orphan, for instance Portal:Hungary no longer uses Portal:Hungary/Featured article, which is now a orphan subpage. If I understand correctly, you established that there is consensus to make such subpages orphan, in favour of the new content presented on the portal page. Therefore, please make sure that these orphan subpages don't keep mixing up with the subpages which are actually in use, otherwise future maintenance becomes very hard: you can mark such subpages as redirects to the base page of the portal, or you could use WP:G6 or similar. Nemo 18:10, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi BusterD...
I see that you have made a considerable number of reversions in Portal space, restoring NA1k's version and reversing the actions of BHG. These have been accompanied by the edit summary "Nearly complete arbitration makes it clear these edits by NA1000 were not misconduct, merely the judgement of one editor who overstepped." I don't want to see a new conflict started over Portals, and so I'd like to ask if you sought community support / established consensus for these changes – and if so, where?
The nearly complete ArbCom case deals with conduct only, not content, per the jurisdiction of ArbCom. It does state that evidence of misconduct by NA1k was not found and that BHG violated conduct policies, for which she is banned from the topic or Portals and is being desysopped. However, this does not mean (nor does the PD state) that BHG's edits to those portals were "overstepping," nor does the decision take any position on any of the content issues relating to Portals, beyond calling for one or more RfCs. The discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1020#Portal updates reverted did not, so far as I can tell, establish a conclusion on NA1k's edits or BHG's reversions.
Portals are obviously a contentious topic and the specific reversions that you are making have already been subject to an ANI discussion. I would like to suggest, in line with the advice at WP:BOLD, that this is a situation where "the safest course is to be cautious and find consensus before making changes." If a proper consensus were to support the reversions, I will have no objection to your making them... but in the absence of such a consensus, I ask that you stop and seek consensus before continuing with your actions.
Thank you,
EdChem ( talk) 01:37, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello BusterD,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

BusterD, I have recently reverted an edit made by you to Adam Bede. There has been a spate of similar reverts to edits made by George Eliot Scholar to articles on George Eliot's novels during the paste week. I fail to understand the spam label. The only objection that is possible, it seems to me, is duplication, or excessive use of external links. On the surface this appears to be a useful scholarly addition: The inclusion of the text of an edition revised by the author. Rwood128 ( talk) 12:15, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello BusterD,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Despite us reaching a consensus about the result of The Battle of Cold Harbor, this IP (2605:a601:ad60:8e00:c5a4:b307:a776:9bdd), who I am still convinced is a sockpuppet is Mr. Monroe's, has rejected the consensus without participating in any renewed discussions on the Cold Harbor talk page and is now engaging in an edit war, pushing his ideology in spite of you warning him beforehand. I would please request that you due your diligence and report him. Valkyrie Red ( talk) 06:03, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello BusterD,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
Rank | Username | Num reviews | Log |

1 | DannyS712 bot III ( talk) | 67,552 | Patrol Page Curation |
2 | Rosguill ( talk) | 63,821 | Patrol Page Curation |

4 | Onel5969 ( talk) | 19,879 | Patrol Page Curation |
5 | JTtheOG ( talk) | 12,901 | Patrol Page Curation |
6 | Mcampany ( talk) | 9,103 | Patrol Page Curation |
7 | DragonflySixtyseven ( talk) | 6,401 | Patrol Page Curation |

9 | Hughesdarren ( talk) | 4,520 | Patrol Page Curation |
10 | Utopes ( talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.
Six Month Queue Data: Today – 2262 Low – 2232 High – 10271

Thanks. I am actually just cleaning up old work, not trying to edit substantive changes. Happy new year! Hal
Hello, I was surprised to see your move here as I am not part of the WikiProject. I'm not quite sure why consistency of names was chosen when it is likely the "real" names of the organizations were not consistent. I'd expect the articles to be named as the unit was known at the time. Or am I missing something? --John ( User:Jwy/ talk) 07:10, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
