User talk:Kges1901/2022/May
Dear Kges1901, I am considering moving and changing the 77th Guards Rifle Division article into an article for the new 177th Guards NIR in the Caspian Flotilla. I am just about sure it inherits the lineage of the 77 GRD, but cannot find so far the full honorific "Moskovsko-Chernigovskaya order of Lenin Red Banner order of Suvorov" attributed to the new(ish) regiment. Do you have anything which would be definitive? Also thanks and cc Wreck_Smurfy and B.Velikov, effectively the other current members of the Red Army editors' group.

- Because the 77th GRD could be expanded into a detailed long article covering its WWII history, I would keep the 77th GRD article as it is, and create a separate article for the new regiment that covers the history of the unit as naval infantry since 1998. This article [1] explains the lineage of the regiment, and suggests there is continuity. I haven't found any sources that refer to the unit as guards, however, and we can't invent a designation for it without sources. Kges1901 (talk)
- I agree with Kges1901 that the existing 77th GRD article should stand (and be expanded, but that's way down on my "to do" list). What I can confirm is the honorific, at least in part. The first formation of the 173rd RD got "Moscow" because it derived from the 21st Moscow Opolchenie Division, and the 77th GRD won the battle honor "Chernigov" on September 21, 1943.[1] Wreck Smurfy (talk) 18:47, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- So the suggestion is at the moment a separate new article on the 177th Naval Infantry Regiment? We can always move it to 177th *Guards* NIR if the various writeups on Ruwiki can be substantiated. Buckshot06 (talk) 09:11, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

The article List of people on the postage stamps of Georgia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No evidence of any notability for this very incomplete, abandoned list.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fram (talk) 08:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022 edit
Hello Kges1901/2022,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 816 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 861 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Russian regimental categories edit
Dear Kges1901, you have now created these categories that I was considering. I did not do so as yet because they're all under 20 members, thus violating SMALLCAT. That's why I was thinking we would have to create more regimental articles before creating the specific categories. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:37, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- I considered that, but given the war and increasing meadia coverage of regiments, I believe the number of articles will increase so they don't run afoul of WP:SMALLCAT. Also I've seen a large number of small categories that have never been deleted as well. At worst I can create more regiment articles to fill in redlinks. Kges1901 (talk) 01:20, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- "At worst I can create more regiment articles to fill in redlinks." That was exactly my thought, with 1st Guards Tank Regiment and 1st Guards Motor Rifle Regiment at the top of my list. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:00, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- In fact, I'm currently working on the 1st Guards Tank Regiment article. Kges1901 (talk) 02:05, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- And you can see I've stubbed the 1 GMRR!! Buckshot06 (talk) 02:18, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
