Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
- How to use this page
This page will be built up over your time in the School, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.

 Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan.[1][2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture."[3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home.[4]

Answer: That you just tag the article without looking at it.
, drive by tagging generally refers to the act of placing tags and then failing to follow up. This failure takes the form of either not sufficiently explaining the reason for the tag (in the case of vague or complicated tags like {{POV}} and {{Notability}}), or failing to respond to further questions or responses to the tag. signed, Rosguill talk 01:21, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- 3. List 5 common tagging behaviors that should be avoided in an article
Answer: Wrong tags, Unhelpful tags, Unconstructive tagging, Too many tags, Disputes over tags.
- What is the difference between wrong tags, unhelpful tags, and unconstructive tagging? I'll also add that disputes over tags can and do happen, and I'm not sure I would list them as behavior to be avoided (although obviously edit warring over a tag is silly). signed, Rosguill talk 01:21, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- A wrong tag is when you put a tag that does not say you want it to say. A unhelpful tag is when you put it because it is merely possible. Not every article needs a tag (Wikipedia:NOTAG).

- The4lines, ok next up is your final exam, which is split into several sections. In some portions, you'll be asked to nominate articles for deletion or participate in discussions. For these sections, I'm less interested in whether your vote ends up matching the outcome or if your CSD is accepted than whether your reasoning for the vote or tag was sound (although being correct is also generally a good sign). signed, Rosguill talk 03:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Final Exam edit
Part 1 edit
1. In your own words, how should you communicate with editors whose articles you are reviewing?
- Answer: We should be nice to them WP:AGF, [For all editors] as if we are not we might deter or give the wrong idea about wikipedia to the new editor [For new editors]. And you should always follow up with the question that they might ask.
2. What kind of sources are needed to demonstrate the notability of the subject? Why is this important?
- Answer: We need sources that are independent, reliable, have significant coverage of the subject, and verify the info.
3.What constitutes a WP:COPYVIO? When might something not be copyvio despite having text identical to a source?
- Answer: When someone copys a copyrighted source like a website, book, etc, without permission. When it is a PD site, book, etc, a quote, or a bibliography of a someones publications, or a particularly long name of an award won by a subject. [or if it has a License compatible with wikipedia.]
4. What should we do when we encounter WP:COPYVIO in an article?
- Answer: If it is the whole article and there is not clean diff to rv to we place a G12, and if it is a small part then we remove it and place a RD-1 reequest.
- Sometimes an RD-1 will not be appropriate, if editors other than the editor that introduced the copyvio have made significant prose contributions whose history would be wiped out by the RD-1. In those cases, we just remove the copyvio and move on. It's also important to notify the editors responsible for adding the copyvio (unless you tag G12, in which case the automatic warning is enough). signed, Rosguill talk 16:35, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
5. What should we do when we encounter WP:PAID?
- Answer: If we find an article we WP:DRAFTIFY it, and tag it with {upe} ask and warn the edior about Paid editing, and ask if they can discolse who is paying which they have to do under the WMF terms.
6. When do we nominate a page for WP:G12 and when do we WP:REVDEL the COPYVIO text?
- Answer: We CSD the article when there is a big % of the article that is Copyvio and there is no clean diff to rv to. Revdel is when there is a small number of text that is copyvio but is only used when removing copyvio without removing attribution to non-infringing contributors.
7. What makes an article a WP:PROMO page? What should we do when we encounter such an article?
- Answer: An article that promotes something, and if we see it we G11 it.
8. Why do we tag a page? What are common tags to place on an article?
- Answer: We tag an article so editors and readers that there is issues with the article, More references, No references, COI.
9. When do we WP:R2 a page?
- Answer: This applies to redirects, apart from shortcuts from the main namespace to any other namespace except the Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help: and Portal: namespaces.
10. When do we WP:PROD a page?
- Answer: When an article doesn't meet CSD, but not expected to be controversial, like if it is not meet GNG.
11. When do we WP:BLPPROD a page?
- Answer: We check That the article has no sources in any form, and it is a BLP.
12. When do we WP:AfD a page?
- Answer: If it does not meet Wikipedia:Proposed deletion or Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. We have to do a Wikipedia:BEFORE check. also.
13. Why it is important to WP:CSD a page when the article fit the CSD criteria?
- Answer: Speedy deletion is intended to reduce the time spent on deletion discussions for pages or media with no practical chance of surviving discussion.
14. What does it mean to AGF? What does it not mean?
- It is the assumption that editors' edits and comments are made in good faith. Because most people are trying to help the wikipedia. You don't have to AGF in the presence of obvious evidence to the contrary (e.g. vandalism).
Part 2 edit

- Answer v: Editions Alecto
- , this was about a company, not a person (you used the wrong CSD code), and was a better fit for G11 (and G12 apparently, according to deletion logs) than A7.
Part 5 edit
1. Nominate 2 articles for WP:PROD and state your reasons.

Part 8 edit
Please list 10 things that need to be considered when reviewing a page.
- Answer i: Check if the article is in English
- Answer ii: Check for WP:Wikipedia is not
- Answer iii: Check for copyright
- Answer iv: Check for promo content
- Answer v: Check for reliable and independent sources.
- Answer vi: Check for notability guidelines
- Answer vii: Tag it with G11, A7, etc. if neeeded.
- Answer viii: Add categories
- Answer xi: Add WikiProjects
- Answer x: Add short description
- , while none of these steps are wrong, this isn't quite the answer I was looking for. Missing from this list of steps is checking for neutrality issues other than "promo"; while the most common form of POV editing that we see in NPP is promotional, problematic POV editing can also be negative. Also missing is checking for copy editing issues. Additionally, several of the listed steps here are strictly redundant: checking for reliable sources is part of checking against notability guidelines; G11 and A7 tagging are part of assessing POV and notability respectively. signed, Rosguill talk 16:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Part 9 edit
Pick 5 articles that meet the notability guidelines (no PROD/BLPPROD/R2/AfD/CSD) from the new pages from Special:NewPagesFeed and follow the NPP flowchart and provide the appropriate answer below (pls place N/A if not applicable). Pick articles that have 3-4 sources for the exercises below. (pls provide link and hist diff). You should follow the NPP flowchart.

Peterson alerted officers at Fort Lafayette, who mobilized forces. A cannon greatly damaged the British ship, which was then unable to retrieve one of its commanders who had snuck ashore. The capture of this Major Andre led to the uncovering of the Benedict Arnold plot." | ? Unknown |

- , Google Translate can process Persian well enough to review the sources in question. There was also some significant confusion in the article's content as to whether Baghdasht is a peak or a mountain range. Note that the article was since deleted per G5 as the editor that created it was blocked for socking; I did not hold this against you when reviewing this question. signed, Rosguill talk 16:39, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Conclusion edit
I'm sorry The4lines, but I'm afraid that I can't give you a passing grade on this course. I'm seeing too many careless mistakes in the final exam as well as errors that suggest an incomplete understanding of neutrality guidelines and deletion procedures. At this point, I don't think there is any need to draw this out further. I hope that you will not allow this to discourage you from editing productively in other fields of work on Wikipedia. signed, Rosguill talk 16:52, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
