Apologies
Pardon me mucking about with your archived talk page. After I'd reverted, I realised how to renumber them sequentially after all, but I'll leave it to you to manage them as you wish. – Fayenatic London 23:14, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Its ok. When I started out I was using 1CA to manually move threads, but when that got to tedious I set up the bot. I was hoping it be sequential but it ended up being 2 1, 2 2 etc. I never thought about doing anything to fix it. I wish there was a archive script that was easier and more intuitive to use then the current bot codes, but it may be that I am the only one who has a problem setting them up. L3X1 (distænt write) 02:04, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- OK, I reckon I have set it up right for you this time. Cheers – Fayenatic London 11:55, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
- Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
Outreach and Invitations:
- If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with:
{{subst:NPR invite}}
. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.
New Year New Page Review Drive
- A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
- Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.
General project update:
- ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
- The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
- To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

New Years new page backlog drive
Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!
We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!
The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
- The total number of reviews completed for the month.
- The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages
You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. You recently accepted a pending change that did not include such a source. I've found a source for this recent addition and added it to January 11. Please try to ensure that such additions include direct citations as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages - before accepting such a change.

G6 technical?
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Fergusson-Stewart not clear to me why it's a G6. DGG ( talk ) 03:28, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- DGGG6 Techincal/housekeeping for an article which has been closed as delete in a deletion discussion. G6 wasn't the reason I closed it, but was the method I used to delete an article when I didn't have the technical powers. L3X1 Happy2018! (distænt write) 13:45, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- But nobody explicitly closed it. The clearer way to handle this as a non admin in a case where the consensus is as clear as this, is to first close, probably saying snow close, and then to list the article for speedy, giving the reason. DGG ( talk ) 21:43, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Neelix redirects
Hopefully I can be of assistance with this message, but maybe the template you were looking for when tagging Neelix redirects for deletion was {{db-x1}}? jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 22:21, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

- (by talk reader) @CryfryDG: No worries! Because of the Wikipedia Seigenthaler biography incident, New Pages Patrol checks up on new pages like your user sandbox to make sure you're not accusing an innocent person of assassinating a president or some such. You don't need to take any action and it doesn't impact your editing, at all. The patrol seeks to review every page across Wikipedia but new pages are constantly being created. We're just trying to make sure there's not content violating either our Terms of Use or Wikipedia's policies. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:41, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

It's intended for the IP's that always infest a sportsperson's article in the wake of player movement rumors. For what it's worth, I agree with you revert I just went back to the last stable version. Thanks. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:45, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

- Jeffh3360 A new page patroller is an editor who uses tools to check recently created pages off all types to make sure they do not contain content which violates Wikipedia's policies, such as promotional pages, spammy pages, attack pages, or vandalism-only pages. I only came across your userpage because it was in a queue with thousands of other pages. L3X1 … (distænt write) 01:34, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
- We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
New Year Backlog Drive results:
- We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!
General project update:
- ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
- Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Administrators' newsletter – March 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2018).
- Lourdes†
- AngelOfSadness • Bhadani • Chris 73 • Coren • Friday • Midom • Mike V
- † Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.
- The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
- Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
- A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
- A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.
- CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
- The edit filter has a new feature
contains_all
that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.
- Following the 2018 Steward elections, the following users are our new stewards: -revi, Green Giant, Rxy, There'sNoTime, علاء.
- Bhadani (Gangadhar Bhadani) passed away on 8 February 2018. Bhadani joined Wikipedia in March 2005 and became an administrator in September 2005. While he was active, Bhadani was regarded as one of the most prolific Wikipedians from India.

Speedy tag
See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:TheBigSpoon/sandbox.
For what it's worth, we typically don't delete user sandboxes even if they're completely junk, even for users who never contributed anything useful. I thought it was a borderline case and deleted it out of respect for your decision to add the tag. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 22:32, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for notifying me, UninvitedCompany. Sorry about the msiunderstandign on the sandbox, my CSD log shows some 60-70 blocked-user sandboxes deleted under G3 so I was operating off that precedent. L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 22:59, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- :nod:. I certainly don't think there's any harm in deleting them. Then again, I am unsure if there is any harm in leaving them in place. It is not clear to me whether there was any substance to the objection to the deletion, or if it was just based on a literal reading of the criteria. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 00:00, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
