So do you not have a book image uploader for free file images pre-1930? I wasn't sure if you were building that. Iljhgtn (talk) 04:30, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
- No, not yet. Because that would come under free uploads, and each file may be suitable either for Commons or for enwiki only.
- I haven't planned to create that, to be honest. Kingsacrificer (talk) 16:19, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

- I asked on a forum and they said the same wizard, with some changes can achive this. My concern is though, how can I accommodate for all the different PD tags that exist? Should I let the user input those tags manually? Kingsacrificer (talk) 06:20, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Kingsacrificer, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
- Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
- If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
- If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies
You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Sohom (talk) 21:17, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for this! Kingsacrificer (talk) 18:43, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Airport destination lists sourcing RfC
Hi there,
I'm leaving this message because you contributed to the recent RfC regarding the inclusion of airport destination lists. As promised, now that that RfC has closed, I've initiated a further discussion about the sourcing standards to be applied to these lists.
If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please do so at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Airport destination lists - sourcing requirements.

Canale 5 Copy Editing
Hi Kingsacrificer,
I notice that we're copy editing the same article for the GOCE drive! (See the page history of Canale 5). Sorry for not adding the GOCE in use template; I've been going through the article very slowly and the tag gets removed after 24 hours of no edits. I just have a few sections left though, could you please let me finish it? I'll try to finish it this weekend, but if I can't, then you can pick up where I left off.
Thank you! Nsophiay (talk) 23:34, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes @Nsophiay, sure. I have only copyedited the lead and the first section of the history. You can finish it.
- I think the article could benefit from some layout changes as well. Kingsacrificer (talk) 18:00, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you!
- Yeah, the article maybe needs more work than just copy editing. When comparing it to the Italian version you'll notice that a lot of sources are missing, too. I'll try to add them. Nsophiay (talk) 19:23, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- Looks like the tag was again automatically removed. I'm guessing you are still working on it? Kingsacrificer (talk) 19:01, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, I didn't manage to finish it over the weekend (tied up by the LOTR re-release in theatres lol). I did finish the "History" section though. You can pick up where I left off at the "Carriage" section; I'll remove the article from my username on the GOCE page. Thanks for your help! Nsophiay (talk) 08:06, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- No, no. I was just checking. You can continue the article if you wish to. Kingsacrificer (talk) 19:13, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- Finished it! Though I'll probably do some additional reviewing/citation adding later. Thanks for your additions in any case! Nsophiay (talk) 09:04, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Book cover edits
I noticed we got the list to 1694 today! That is the lowest I think that I have ever seen it since I began working in that area. Thanks again for all your help and let us see if we can get it under 1500 next between the two of us! Iljhgtn (they/them · talk) 19:31, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- I think that even though we are following different categories, there is a lot of overlap so certainly we can get it below 1500. I've slowed down considerably this week so the credit goes to you for it. Will pick up the pace! Kingsacrificer (talk) 05:47, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

January–February 2026 NPP drive - Phase 2

Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

Orphaned non-free image File:History of the Soul (Book Cover).jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:History of the Soul (Book Cover).jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:29, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026
Hello Kingsacrificer,

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

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.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
