Your submission at Articles for creation: Lady Qiguan (November 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Significa liberdade was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
None of the sources provided have significant coverage of Lady Qiguan.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Apologies for reverting your addition of "nonfiction" to The Real Anthony Fauci. I had misread that as part of another editor's misinformation to information change. Rjjiii (ii) (talk) 00:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters

On 14 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that shortly after a missile strike on the Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters, Oleksiy Danilov said that the fleet could be "sliced up like a salami" at a later date? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2023 missile strike on the Sevastopol Naval Base. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Niña move

Have you considered WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? Generally, when replacing a primary article with a disambiguation page, you should discuss this on the primary's talk page, first. That would involve discussing whether any article in the disambiguation alternatives even approaches the use count of the primary, and whether there was any potential for confusion. Tarl N. (discuss) 08:07, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to revert my change if you think it might have caused confusion. Professor Penguino (talk) 10:36, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't take action, it appears several other people took exception and it was undone. The reason I suggest page moves be done very cautiously, and only after discussion, is because they cannot be easily reverted. Only admins are capable of undoing this kind of move. You can move to an unoccupied page, but in doing so you leave behind a redirect, which cannot be overriden without advanced permissions. As it happens, I saw discussion that one problem caused by your move was the it created 70-odd disambiguation links (links within other pages which suddenly ended up pointing to a disambiguation page rather than the desired target). These links would have all had to be fixed. Regards, Tarl N. (discuss) 05:51, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yikes. I definitely will have to read up more on page moves, and how to prevent that from happening again... it's good that someone reverted it and cleaned up the mess I made. Sorry for any trouble I caused.

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in The War of the Worlds, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically, please look at MOS:POSS as Wikipedia uses 's for words and proper nouns ending in s, which can be confusing. Thank you. i2n2z 03:40, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Professor Penguino. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
  • Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
  • Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 16:45, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Professor Penguino (talk) 20:35, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:1777 in Russia

Hello, Professor Penguino. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "1777 in Russia".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Changeworld1984 (talk) 11:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Banderite. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. In addition, I don't think that your way of communicating on the talk page and via edit summaries matches WP's collaborative spirit. Rsk6400 (talk) 15:28, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"I don't think that your way of communicating on the talk page and via edit summaries matches WP's collaborative spirit." Would you mind telling me exactly how? Professor Penguino (talk) 01:06, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For your edit summary, I already explained myself[1] on the respective talk page. For your way of communicating on the talk page, I was primarily referring to this post[2]. If somebody makes fun of another person's concerns ("Lol", "the world is flat"), that is often a sign that they just didn't understand where the problem is. Rsk6400 (talk) 08:51, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're misrepresenting the situation. I'll make a few points:
1. I used "Lol" just because I thought it was funny that you were using a flawed argument. That's it. You have not actually shown why my revision was a violation of WP:DUE - all I did was insert a fact acknowledged by multiple reliable sources.
2. The way you quoted it here is misleading, as it seems like I said "the world is flat" sarcastically. I did not. I compared your argument (that because some people see Bandera as a hero, we cannot put the "ultranationalist" qualifier next to his name) to the argument that Wikipedia cannot clarify the Earth as a planet because some people think it's flat.
3. You ignored the fact that I put two reliable sources next to the addition. Read WP:FALSEBALANCE if you haven't already.
Sincerely, Professor Penguino (talk) 20:41, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't understand my argument. Being a teacher of physics (and history) I can't resist explaining to you that the question of the Earth being flat and being a planet are different questions: During the European Middle Ages, many educated people knew that the Earth was not flat, but they couldn't believe that it was a planet before Copernicus, Galilei, Kepler, and Newton. Rsk6400 (talk) 08:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's interesting. So, what was your argument, if I supposedly misunderstood it? Professor Penguino (talk) 08:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Concern regarding Draft:Lady Qiguan

Information icon Hello, Professor Penguino. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lady Qiguan, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Professor Penguino,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

Your submission at Articles for creation: Zeteo (May 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject. Not every business corporation is notable, and this draft does not establish corporate notability. You may ask for advice about corporate notability at the Teahouse.
