Re: Speedy deletion of Zeta Chi Zeta

Dear Arthistorian1977,

Zeta Chi Zeta is a very important local fraternity run out of Oswego, NY. and definetely should not be deleted. Zeta Chi Zeta is no less signifigant than any other fraternity page on wikipedia and therefore would be very unfair and biased to delete it. I am currently working on improving the page as I need more time to update the history of it and add more relevant content.

If you have any specific helpful suggestions on the page, please let me know.

thank you so much,

Aaron

Hi

Hi Arthistorian, Why did you nominate article Adam Khalifa Afara for deletion? It corresponds with the standards of Wikipedia The best proof of that it was written more than one language I ask you to reconsider the article with the correct some of the mistakes that have not deleted immediately

Deletion of the page Favij

Hi, Arthistorian77 Favij is a very famous Youtuber in Italy (i think one of the most famous) and the italian Wikipedia doesn't allow to create it, i don't know why. One Admin even banned the creating of the page and I find this strange. Is in the english Wikipedia the same, or how it works? Can I have please more infos?

my regards, Thinky Winky

00:04:22, 30 August 2017 review of submission by MG-Lon

This is not PR firm based I am employed by the company, I did not make this known earlier but I was advised on the chat this was an error and have now rectified it on my personal page.

Everything I have listed is true and accurate.

23:51:44, 5 September 2017 review of submission by 77.64.254.127

I have added some independent sources. So the "Deutschlandfunk", "ZDF" (Second German Television), "Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung" (Federal Agency for Civic Education), "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Humanes Sterben" (German Society for Human Dying), and the "humanistischer pressedienst" (hpd). And the notability.: The party participates in the federal election 2017, for that a article about it was written in the German Wikipedia. Its close to the "Giordano Bruno Foundation" and so probably well known in the atheistic community. But the unique selling point (Alleinstellungsmerkmal) is that it is the only party in Germany with the main focus on non-religious pepole (35% of Germany)

dear Authorized,

My work on the draft is now over. so I published the page. and I will make it even wider in the coming days. Please be kind, please. I am wasting my time and I am so sorry that the page has been deleted. Please support me in this regard. please keep the page posted for at least a few weeks.

dear Authorized,

hello please please enable my dear authoritative article. Please hear me in the name of humanity. I spent a lot of time on that article. Please. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_Abbasov

amazfit

hi

i couldn't get the amazfit redirect to work properly, if you can make the amazfit page redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Products_of_Xiaomi#Smartwatches_and_Smartbands instead of the current https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Products_of_Xiaomi then that would be great. thanks.

Review request

Hi Arthistorian1977, How are you doing, thanks a lot for your review of my article.

It would be helpful if you could review few of my article.


Thank you

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello Arthistorian1977,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022

Suggestions:

  • There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
  • Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
  • Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
  • This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Arthistorian1977,

New Page Review queue December 2022
Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Reminders
  • Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
  • There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
  • Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
  • If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
  • To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Arthistorian1977,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Oleg Holosiy when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

Your edits are becoming disruptive. You have been warned multiple times about the need to use preview to check your edits, yet you continue to introduce unknown parameters into articles. You did this again at Zhanna Kadyrova when you modified the page, you once again did this. If you continue your disruptive editing, you may find yourself blocked from editing. Please take the time to review your edits moving forward. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:46, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Dear Zackmann, how tremendously kind of you to take time out of your busy schedule to instruct me on the finer points of the Preview button, a feature I have, in my apparently blissful ignorance, somehow managed to overlook during my eleven-odd years of Wikipedia contributions and the several hundred articles I have had the pleasure of creating, to say nothing of the thousands of edits I have made.
I am, naturally, deeply grateful for this illuminating introduction to template parameters. One does occasionally make a technical slip — a humbling reminder that even the most seasoned editor is not entirely beyond reproach. I shall endeavour, with every ounce of my remaining dignity, to click that elusive button with greater enthusiasm going forward.
I indeed confess, however, that the leap from "introduced unknown parameters" to "disruptive editing" and veiled threats of blocking does strike me as a rather athletic conclusion. A gentle note on the first occasion would, one might argue, have sufficed.
I appreciate that you have corrected the errors, and I do genuinely thank you for that. Should you ever wish to discuss history, art and especially gay history, subjects upon which I have apparently been labouring with some dedication, I remain, as ever, entirely at your service.
Yours with unfailing civility, Arthistorian1977 (talk) 06:54, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
A gentle note on the first occasion would, one might argue, have sufficed.... Look above. This was the THIRD time I warned you about this issue, You chose to ignore the first 2 warnings which WERE gentle notes. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:09, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
Dear Zackmann, Touche, you are entirely correct, and I have walked magnificently into my own trap - two gentle notes were sent, two gentle notes were absorbed into the same void that swallows car keys and one's better judgement. I shall approach template parameters with considerably more reverence going forward. I do, however, maintain that characterising a misplaced parameter as "disruptive editing" and reaching for the blocking option is rather like deploying the Royal Navy to resolve a parking dispute. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:21, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Once again, you have done this at Ilovaisk 2014. Battalion Donbas. What does it take to get you to WP:PREVIEW your edits? You got pissed at my previous comments for calling you out yet you STILL have not learned to preview. This is the finally time I will try to politely warn you. The next time it will be an WP:ANI as you clearly are not getting the message that you need to stop breaking pages by refusing to check your work. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:04, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
@Zackmann08 Acknowledged, and thank you for fixing it. The error was unintentional and I will be more careful going forward. For context, I have created about twenty or so articles since our last exchange on this matter without issue. I do not think further discussion of this is a productive use of either of our time. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:56, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
I don't really care what you find productive. If you continue to introduce bad code because of your failure to WP:PREVIEW your edits, you will hear from me. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 14:08, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Ilovaisk 2014. Battalion Donbas moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Ilovaisk 2014. Battalion Donbas. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 14:12, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I should like to respectfully point out that this article on this film was already well-sourced with 16 references, and I have since expanded these further. I am quite confident that notability is firmly established. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 15:43, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

Hello Arthistorian1977,

New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Arthistorian1977:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:36, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
