		The New Page Reviewer's Platinum Award
		For over 10,000 article reviews during 2023. Well done! Keep up the good work and thank you! Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:59, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I added a Ref. showing notability (Re: 22 million). Also stretched out the article a little to be more all-encompassing. I mean, to give a more complete picture of the organization. It's far more notable than an athlete appearing in one game in the pros, IMO. Thanks for hopefully putting it through. However, either way, I really didn't want to spend much time on this. I just wanted to start this worthy article. It was once a major branch of the Red Cross. JimPercy (talk) 16:26, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I added some more to give it completeness. JimPercy (talk) 13:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kimberly Remak, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hey @JTtheOG

Would you mind taking another review of Draft:Adam Hicks (American football) because I added a few sources that should be able to make it notable enough to be on the main space.

I submitted it for review and I would appreciate it if you could give it another look. ParkerLyme (talk) 15:26, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), with one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, and two DYKs;
• Vami_IV (submissions), with one FA on Doom (2016 video game), one GA on Boundary Fire (2017), and 11 reviews;
• MaranoFan (submissions), with one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and two DYKs;
• Skyshifter (submissions), with one FA on OneShot and one DYK;
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with five GAs and five DYKs on television and radio stations;
• voorts (submissions) and Elli (submissions), both with one FA and one DYK each.

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Good morning from Campora San Giovanni, I'm writing to say hello and find out how you are, as well as telling you that I followed your advice, I was wondering if you could lend a helping hand now. Of course, if you need anything, count on me, in the meantime I thank you for the report and while waiting to hear from you, I greet you with respect and cordiality.

I want to give a personal thank you to you for your motivation towards improving articles' references. Though you have "only" dealed with ~1% articles in the backlog, your impact is much greater than you might imagine. You have help set a fire for future endeavors to make Wikipedia more complete and comprehensive. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you have well surpassed 750 articles cited, I would like to award you the level 10 badge early. Perhaps, a quote from one of our writers who has recently passed away would be the most appropriate here for the monumental work – citing all articles on Wikipedia – that we are dealing with.

The only way Completion can and will be reached is through a Herculean amount of work. Completion will also require Completionists to be bold, but civil and patient, and to some extent charismatic. This is a collaborative project! It shall also require Completionists to be discerning and travel to many places to acquire what the Encyclopedia needs. But most of all, it must be repeated, it shall require us to work. As is said of the Swabians, "Schaffe, schaffe Häusle baue" — Let's work and work, and build a house.

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

• Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
• Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
• Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
• MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
• Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

I see that you have just removed two of my recently created rugby union articles into draftspace on grounds of lack of references. The Royal Bassett article has now been improved and expanded, and the number of references has been increased from two to eight, and none are primary references from their website. Therefore, can you please reinstate it back to mainspace. I shall now look to do the same with Hammersmith and Fulham and I hope you won't relegate any more of my articles from Wikipedia.Rillington (talk) 00:03, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Rillington: Royal Wootton Bassett is the club in question, thus sources 1 and 2 cannot be used to establish notability. The Rugby Football Union is directly associated with the club, thus sources 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 cannot be used to establish notability. I am sure that Source 3 has plenty of in-depth coverage of the club, but I am unable to access the text. JTtheOG (talk) 00:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The RFU is not associated, even indirectly, with any club - it's the sport's governing body. Therefore its website is independent of the subject.Rillington (talk) 00:25, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rillington: It is generally agreed upon that sports governing bodies are not independent of the teams or athletes that compete under their jurisdiction. JTtheOG (talk) 00:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first I've heard of this and I've been producing articles on English rugby union clubs for a decade. Plus it is also generally agreed that any club which has played at tier 5 of the English rugby league system is seen as notable. RWB played at this level for three seasons and H&F currently play at this level.Rillington (talk) 11:52, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Royal Wootton Bassett RFC has multiple primary and secondary references, including both the RFU pages as well as Rothman's Rugby Union Yearbook. These are the gold standard for rugby union and are notable sources. Tier 5 clubs play in the 'National Leagues' so this should also be considered when it comes to notability. Recommend keeping pages with note on adding future sources to help with reinforcing validaty as opposed to removing pages. Jgjsmith006 (talk) 16:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. As someone who also has also been creating sports articles for over a decade, it somewhat troubling that you would think this way. The RFU is simply not an independent source. At the time of draftification, the article had two sources: a link to the club's contacts page and a dead link to a results page from 8 years ago posted by the RFU. I hope we can all agree that this is nowhere near enough sources to meet notability guidelines, no matter which tier they are currently in, and it would be irresponsible of me to mark it as patrolled. Instead of deleting a page not ready for the mainspace, I draftified it to give you (or others) enough time to come up with better sourcing and re-submit it. I'm AGF that the Rothman's Yearbook has adequate in-depth coverage of the subject, but once again, this was not present in the originally published version of the article.

Hello, JTtheOG,

I'd like to request that on any future articles you nominate for PRODs or AFDs, that you do not mention that the article was created by Lugnuts. The identify of the editor who created an article, unless they are a sockpuppet, is really irrelevant to whether or not we should keep or delete an article. Basically, I think you can make a strong argument for deletion without drawing attention to a fellow editor.

There are many of us who worked with Lugnuts before he was blocked and while his editing was problematic, it just seems a bit mean-spirited to use his name as shorthand for an article that should be deleted. I respect the work that you do and I'm asking for this favor as a fellow editor, not an administrator who deletes a lot of PRODs and closes a lot of AFDs. For what it's worth, I think it might be appropriate to mention his participation while you are responding to other editors in AFD comments but just not in your deletion rationale, as the primary reason for an article's deletion. Thank you for considering this request. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:21, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I certainly meant no ill will towards them and was simply attempting to provide context using a phrase I had seen others use in the past.

Why have you moved my article about a footballer into draft, refering to lack of cources. In fact there are a lot of sources, even uefa.com, wich is the most trustworthy of all sources regarding footballers. You have obviously done this by routine, and not checked the vaildy of the sources in the article. RonTho (talk) 03:37, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @RonTho: This was a deliberate draftification. In order to better establish notability of this footballer, you must demonstrate that there is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Source 1 (worldfootball.net) is a database and is thus not significant coverage of the subject. Source 2 (in.fo) is a short transactional announcement and is thus not significant coverage of the subject. Source 3 (B36) is his employer and is thus not independent of the subject. I am unable to access Source 4 (faroesoccer.com), but judging by the URL it seems to be a match report, and is thus not significant coverage of the subject. I draftified your article instead of nominating for deletion in order to allow you the time to present sources that establish notability. Hope this helps and happy editing. JTtheOG (talk) 20:59, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You did not mention the most reliable source - uefa.com Is that not sufficient enough, regarding footballers? And what about soccerway.com?

I sincerely ask you to do a proper work, instead of what you are preforming here. RonTho (talk) 22:06, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RonTho: You are correct. This is not sufficient enough because stats databases do not contribute towards notability, as I mentioned in my previous comment. JTtheOG (talk) 22:19, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JTtheOG,

I've seen that you have tagged my article about Hans Werner Sokop (if this is not the case, please accept my apologies).

In the meantime, I've added a section with external links of libraries etc. that prove the literary production of Hans Werner Sokop.

Is there anything else that is necessary to prove that the content is correct and valuable?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello JTtheOG,

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

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.

The article Audi Crooks you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Audi Crooks for comments about the article, and Talk:Audi Crooks/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Hello @JTtheOG,
A few days ago, I stumbled a think that I don't fully understand and I would appreciate your opinion. I have created some Wikipedia pages and all of them have received "reviewed" status. One didn't – Kurk Lietuvai. Ironically, it's the one that I happened to put the most effort in and wanted to do as good as I could. Even much newer pages that I created have already been reviewed, e.g. Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve. How come that my articles get reviewed, but one is "stuck" and doesn't? What difference on Wikipedia does it make if an article has been reviewed?

Best regards,

Hey there. I wouldn't exactly be able to tell you, because it shows up as reviewed for me. Good work, though. JTtheOG (talk) 16:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SusuGeo seems to have copy-pasted back all/some of the pages you moved to draft. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 14:48, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

let me look back it SusuGeo (talk) 14:51, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly recommend you utilize the Articles for creation process to create new articles. they generally give decent feedback for you to improve the article prior to it 'going live' in article space. and you especially cannot just copy the content back into the article. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 15:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the helpful feedback SusuGeo (talk) 15:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JTtheOG. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
