New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Florentyna,

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:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

NPP Awards for 2024

		The New Page Reviewer's NPP Barnstar Award
		This award is given in recognition to Florentyna for conducting 215 article reviews in 2024. Thank you so much for all your excellent work. Keep it up! Hey man im josh (talk) 18:19, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Elias Hossain (journalist)

Hi, it looks like the content from Elias Hossain (journalist) was copypaste moved to Elias Hossain, and then you BLAR'd the former with a redir to the latter. Can you help me understand the thinking? Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:35, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Do what you think is better. I guess the user was not able to move the article. --Florentyna (talk) 16:38, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm just not quite clear what's happening here and why. The user tried requesting G7 deletion at the original location, which I declined because they're not the only or even main author (although do seem to feel some ownership). The next thing I know they've done the copypaste, which is obviously not okay, as it loses the edit history. And they've also now commandeered Elias Hossain which previously redirected to Elias Hossain (disambiguation), although it's not clear on what basis that person would be the primary topic for this title. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:42, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

The Mexico International in DE Wiki

Hello Flo, Can you adjust the year of the Mexico International of 1958 and 1959 one? (the main topic I mean, I don't know how to edit that). They are off by one year:

• 1958 > 1959 = https://badmintonmuseum.us/publications/BirdChatter/documents/v19_n01_195911.pdf (In this bird chatter, page 23)
• 1959 > 1960 = https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19600412-1.2.128?qt=mexico,%20badminton&q=mexico%20badminton (The Straits Times, 12 April 1960, Page 13)

I will input the result soon. Thanks in advance for your work! Lowyat Slyder (talk) 23:42, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Removing stub templates

Hi, please stop mass-removing stub templates from articles that ale clearly a stub, and adding Start to WikiProject banner shells. For example Dmytro Zavadskyi has calculated readable prose size 253 B (33 words) and no WP:SIGCOV, Lithuania national badminton team has 634 B (91 words) and no SIGCOV, which is not close to the approximate limit of 250–300 words (1500 characters). Read WP:STUB (especially WP:STUBLENGTH) and WP:ASSESS. You were already warned about this in February 2023 by @Sportsfan 1234. Please, revert your edits where violation occurred in last months. Thank you. FromCzech (talk) 10:54, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Please don't mix different things (sources and stubs), and present correct facts, i.e. Lithuania national badminton team has 8,402 bytes. SIGCOV and stub are also totally different things. Florentyna (talk) 15:40, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Umm... no. Per WP:STUBLENGTH, only WP:readable prose counts, so infobox and tables do not count. Per WP:ASSESS, "Start" should provide references to reliable sources (sorry that I incorrectly wrote SIGCOV), to show reasons of why the topic is significant.

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

Hello Florentyna,

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.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
