Kenn Whitaker

I just want to address this big rumor and nonsense going around that Kenn Whitaker looks exactly like his brother Forest Whitaker. Ridiculous misinformation is all over the internet. I actually took a screenshot from the movie "Life" (1999) that he was in, just to get an actual verified picture. I don't know how to submit it here, but I think it would be very helpful to put up an accurate picture on his Wikipedia page in order to dispel rumors. If someone can advise me how to upload or who to send the photo to, for this purpose, I would be very grateful. Meghanmonroe (talk) 02:57, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Ukexpat, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal

• There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
• Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

Project updates

• ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
• There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

New scripts

• User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js^(info) — A new script created for quickly placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 20:49, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

The Signpost: 28 October 2018

• From the editors: The Signpost is still afloat, just barely
  A slightly thinner issue, but out on time.

• Op-ed: Wikipedia's Strickland affair
  Is a missing article on a Nobel laureate a fail? What if her draft biography was declined as non-notable?

• News and notes: WMF gets a million bucks
  And it's richer than ever.

• In the media: Bans, celebs, and bias
  Breitbart begone; rescued by archivists; celebrating trolls?

• Discussion report: Mediation Committee and proposed deletion reform
  Plus: two pending changes-related discussions, notability, and naming conventions.

• Traffic report: Unsurprisingly, sport leads the field – or the ring
  Who's reading what?

• Technology report: Bots galore!
  Bots can do anything you want – well, almost.

• Special report: NPP needs you
  WMF continues to stonewall development; NPP wishes again relegated to stocking fillers.

• Special report 2: Now Wikidata is six
  SPARQL adds sparkle to WMF projects.

• In focus: Alexa
  We are all writing for Amazon.

• Gallery: Out of this world!
  No special effects here, just beautiful celestial images.

• Recent research: Wikimedia Commons worth $28.9 billion
  If it weren't free, of course.

• Humour: Talk page humour
  Wikipedia has a long history of talk page tomfoolery.

• Opinion: Strickland incident
  The reviewer who declined the article gives his perspective.

• From the archives: The Gardner Interview
  The "holy-shit" slide.

Orphaned non-free image File:Logo-gentlegiant.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Logo-gentlegiant.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair 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) 18:44, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Ukexpat,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW

• Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}18:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Two more inventors to add to the page!

Hello, please add Dale Malik and Irwin Gerzberg, both of whom have over 200 USPTO utility patents. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sheldonmeredith (talk • contribs) 17:12, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

The Signpost: 1 December 2018

• From the editor: Time for a truce
  Lay down your verbal weapons.

  The experiences of a new user on Wikipedia, told in their own words.

• Special report: The Christmas wishlist
  What do the WMF devs have in store for the community?

  Looking both backward and forward to events concerning the community.

• Reflections: Wikipedia, history, and the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day

• In the media: Court-ordered article redaction, paid editing, and rock stars
  Real-world news competes with the usual celeb fascination for Wikipedia's commentators.

• Discussion report: Farewell, Mediation Committee
  It was a good 15 years. Plus: admins, notability, substubs, and new padlocks.

• Arbitration report: A long break ends
  Arbcom takes its first new case since June.

• Traffic report: Queen reigns for four weeks straight
  The "Queen" of stage and screen, that is. Is there another?

• Gallery: Intersections
  Biology or technology? Form follows function in nature and the constructed world.

• Recent research: Why do the most active Wikipedians burn out?; only 4% of students vandalize
  And other new research results.

• Essay: No one cares about your garage band
  Nope, don't care!

• Humour: The dark side of our favorite root vegetable
  Wonky carrots invoke terror.

• From the archives: Ars longa, vita brevis
  ARS might continue, but some Wikipedians might not.

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018

Hello Ukexpat,

Reviewer of the Year

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.

Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760 reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001 reviews), Semmendinger (8,440 reviews), PRehse (8,092 reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306 reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016 reviews), and Elmidae (3,615 reviews).
Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven months, while Boleyn, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top 100 reviewers.

Less good news, and an appeal for some help

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.

Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.

Training video

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Merry Merry

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Ukexpat, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019. MarnetteD|Talk 22:52, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

The Signpost: 24 December 2018

• From the editors: Where to draw the line in reporting?
  Tell us what you think!

• Op-ed: Wikipedia not trumped by Trump appointee
  Did World Patent Marketing pay to get Wikipedia to include flattering information on their board member, now the Acting United States Attorney General?

• Special report: The Signpost got 380,000+ views in 2018, sounds reasonable enough, right?
  A statistical insight into the English Wikipedia's very own online community newsletter.

• News and notes: Some wishes do come true
  NPP wins the wish list poll; Wikipedia editors will be able to work better at night; new WMF appointments and new arbitrators; and who wants to be an admin?

• In the media: Political hijinks
  Wikipedia says 'ta' to British M.P. and 'buh-bye' to U.S. President's image vandals.

• Discussion report: A new record low for RfA
  Plus: reliable sources, notability, and fallout from the self-blocking software changes.

• WikiProject report: Articlegenesis
  Discovering how new and unregistered users make articles with the members of WikiProject Articles for Creation.

• Arbitration report: Year ends with one active case
  GiantSnowman asked to chill, and other disputes addressed by Arbcom (or not).

• Traffic report: Queen dethroned by U.S. presidents
  The band relinquishes its first place hold; Aquaman is swimming into view for late December.

• Gallery: Sun and Moon, water and stone
  Happy solstice, and happy New Year!

• Blog: News from the WMF
  In and around the WMF and its projects from the WMF's web site.

• Humour: I believe in Bigfoot
  Are you a believer?

• Essay: Requests for medication
  When the desire to continue to have the privilege of editing Wikipedia overrides the body's innate desire to choke the living shit out of some bastard who really has it coming.

• From the archives: Compromised admin accounts – again
