I read previous comments about it. I think the Polish article can be a reliable source because the Polish CKM magazine is the original version. I am sure this article is reliable since I am from Poland. 77.112.90.244 (talk) 16:02, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Any open wikis including the Polish Wikipedia project can't be used directly as reliable sources as anyone can post the information. The sources in those articles can be used if they meet the requirements. I have found a source that seems reliable enough for that information, so I have added it to the article along with the reference. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 11:22, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello Crystallizedcarbon! I saw you left on my page a warning about vandalism on Hardtack, but i have not edited that page (nor have i heard of a hardtack!). I suspect its because im on a public IP, but thought i'd specify that as i am the most frequent user on this IP when im not logged in, or use this for grammar fixes (my main account is User:Bryan C. W.. Cheers nonetheless! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.249.190.46 (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello Bryan C. W., someone has been using the same public IP that you use for repeated vandalism. An admin has blocked the IP for 31 hours to limit the damage, so you won't be able to edit with it. You should have no problem editing while logged to your account. I would recommend that whenever possible you edit using your username and not the IP to avoid any confusion. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 19:42, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Much obliged. Bryan C. W. (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.
Backlog update:
The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
New Year Backlog Drive results:
We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!
General project update:
ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

I bring this here because it does not belong to the talk page of the article, and applies to your attitude in that article, one that takes place out of your regular scope of your specialty of electronics as you describe on your page, i.e. downright politics. First of all, I have expressed my concern. Still you come back with all the noise, accusing me with petty COI (more noise). I do not expect you to be NPOV, I do not think I am myself, probably nobody is, but your edits are not NPOV, they seem to remove reactively what you consider to be hostile edits, POVwise (WP:BATTLEGROUND), or WP:CHERRYPICK (). Some examples here, and here. Just removal of sourced information or content blanking; now that should be the last option. Keep it constructive, add the nuance necessary if something was wrong. You had actually a point that a part of the information sourced was not included in the source. But this article is nobody's courtyard.
Also long explanations and edit summaries bring confusion, and they may be held as disruptive. In case you do not understand that, I bring it here for you. Keep it short and quiet, detect the wrong information, and correct it if needed. Do not undertake sweeping removals, that comes across as confrontational, and will immediately raise red flags and suspicion. I hope this has been enlightening, and do not have to come back to the same. Thanks Iñaki LL (talk) 17:18, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
@Iñaki: Once again you choose to ignore simple facts. you have a userbox that indicates that you are against the policies of Mariano Rajoy with a ballot box that refers to the article in question. If you have such a strong bias you should at least make sure that your contributions there are not controversial and do improve the article. Yes I removed those edits because I considered them to be biased and without NPOV explaining the reasons in the edit summary. for the same reason I made this edit that another editor with views contrary to yours labeled as editing under POV for the opposite reasons. I also removed this text for similar reasons. I try to find consensus and if my explanations are long is because I think that it is better to center discussions on content and its merit to the article rather than just reverting with generic claims of WP:BATTLEGROUND. With most users that helps to reach consensus as I have achieved with other editors in the past in this an many other articles.
As far as the edit summaries this is what the help page you linked recommends:
Summarize. Summarize the change, even if only briefly; even a short summary is better than no summary.
Explain. Give reasons for the change, if you think other editors may be unclear as to why you made it. Citing the Wikipedia policies or guidelines that you feel justified the change may be incorporated into your explanation.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations should be used with care. They can be confusing for new contributors. For an explanation of some commonly used abbreviations, see this edit summary legend.
Expand on important information. Readers who see only the summary might not get the entire picture. Prevent misunderstanding: If an edit requires more explanation than will fit in the summary box, post a comment to the article's talk page to give more information, and include "see talk" or "see discussion page" in the edit summary.
I don't see where it says to keep it short and quiet, I interpret it to mean that we should explain the reasons for the change in a concise but complete way and expand in talk if necessary.
Once again, regarding the content, the statement you added should not be in the paragraph because it is not talking about misinformation it's talking about cyberatacks. It's unrelated and misleading as the source itself clearly stated that it was not talking about the alleged misinformation campaign, so why should it be used in a paragraph about misinformation?. I made a long explanation hoping you would be able to understand this simple concept, I hope I have not wasted my time again. Maybe I am missing something here, we both agreed it is sourced, but you have failed to provide any valid reason on why the information is relevant to the article since there was no claim of cyberattacks anywhere or why it is added in a paragraph about a different issue in a way that could lead to misinterpretation.
I hope you can provide some valid arguments, but again, please keep your comments focused on the content and please post them at the talk page of the article. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:24, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
As regards the Help:Edit_summary, please read it and read the DOs and DONTs. I will try to be short for clearness. If an edit is explained long enough to be clarifying, it is good, adding what looks like self-entitling statements accompanied with content blanking, it does not look very collaborative, especially in a controversial article where your edits show no nuance (sourced content blanking), and invariably target one of the sides presented in this article (e.g. the examples provided above). I am not talking about you and your Spanish flags, I am talking about your edits, with diffs. In this case, if you had added "this information does not belong in this section" and remove it or, better, relocated it to the right place, would have reassured much more than your actual edit summary.
"Quiet" means smooth and constructive, not content blanking and fuzz. That looks confrontational and WP:BATTLEGROUND.
Your examples provided above on other articles, tell me nothing really, and I do not feel identified with "another editor with views contrary to yours labeled as", so I am clueless.
If verified information is not totally accurate, mend it, and point to the specific problems found, try to help. If you continue to see unresponsive edits by the editor in question, go to the page of the editor in question, point to and/or warn him on the formal problems you found, like "please do not add youtube, not permitted as reliable source", "it appears to be disruptive", or similar. If the problems continue, like not listening to your advise, undo or/and try to prevent the editor from disrupting. Iñaki LL (talk) 00:44, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
Iñaki, I have to disagree with you. I explained why it did not belong in the section in a clear and concise manner making reference to our policies and without any personal atacks, that is better than just saying that it does not belong or citing WP:BATTLEGROUND as an argument. Removing recent edits made to the article that are not relevant or do not follow our policies (all made by the same WP:SPA user) is not content blanking, you mention two of the three edits made recently by Edgarmm81 who has made many biased edits and has contributed only to that article. You failed to notice that I did fix the reference of his third contribution. You also failed to notice that I myself tried to add a properly sourced statement about the Catalan politicians remanded into custody and how I argued for its inclusion at Talk:Catalan_independence_referendum,_2017/Archive_6#Remove/summarize_Aftermath_section. As far as the edit about the results it is easy to see it lacked NPOV as explained in the edit summary, even though the sum of the separatist forces retained their majority they lost two seats and their percentage of votes also fell to 47.8. I fail to see how you can call any of those edits blanking or cherrypicking (specially when I myself tried to add that information in the past). The examples I cited were to show you that I don't edit in just one side of this issue, and while the Spanish flag is not directly related to the article in question (it was in my userpage many years before this issue developed and it just shows my nationality), the statement in your user page is, so please, do center your arguments just in content and remember to asume good faith of other editors. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 17:01, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry, I don't speak english very well and I was starts to edit recently. Really the references are the award itself and the network of the channel. But exist a independent jury formed by directors and producers that defines the winners for some categories and to other the winners is defines per audience votes on internet. Do you think this information can save the article?Guilherme Burn (talk) 00:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Guilherme Burn: The problem is not whether the award has and independent jury. To be notable it should have received in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. Short mentions or trivial coverage is not enough to meet our general notability guidelines. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
I will include the references below. I think they are reliable sources independent of the subject and they are not short mentions or trivial coverage.
Hello @Guilherme Burn: I have removed the request for deletion since you added some independent sources. I also removed a comment that was not neutral and was not independently sourced. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Gracias. Thank you for the attention. Guilherme Burn (talk) 00:12, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello there. I received your message regarding some changes I made. Apparently, I haven't made that change nor have I ever visited that page. It must be a mistake. Please do whatever you like. Just letting you know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.173.126.139 (talk) 16:07, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello, the changes were made from your IP address. you can see them here: Special:Contributions/202.173.126.139. If it is a public computer I suggest you register an account to differentiate yourself from edits by other users. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:52, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
ACTRIAL:
ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.
Paid editing
Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.
Subject-specific notability guidelines
The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.
News
The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.
Please do not delete my page as we are working on it and we are going to add content and accurate information on it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makul01 (talk • contribs) 12:45, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
I am sorry, it has been deleted by an admin. The main problem was the lack of in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the company needed to establish its notability. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:12, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello,
maybe you can help me out... when you look up MY name. Marc Marrone...it redirects you to the pet keeper Marc Morrone... I would like to have my name be myself, not a redirect to someone else.
Chefmarcmarrone (talk) 01:37, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
The article has been protected. You can not make any more edits until April 21th. Next time before ignoring and removing information think about it twice. Filiprino (talk) 19:11, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
@Filiprino: You seem to be very confused. Have you read WP:Vandalism? Accusing me of vandalism for this edit goes against WP:AGF. As you can see in this edit The answer given by the admin that responded to your request in the edit summary that removed it was "rm. No, just no. Page protected."
My interpretation is that the protection of the page was done to prevent you from reverting without first discussing in Talk.
Multiple reliable sources state that Societat Civil Catalana has in its board of directors members across the political spectrum, including Socialists' Party of Catalonia, People's Party of Catalonia and Citizens yet you insist in labeling it as right-wing based on some of its members alleged relation to another platform without providing a single reliable source that makes the direct claim that SCC is right-wing. That is original research and goes against our core policies. Adding a long list with some of the people and organizations that attended an event is excessive. Not all information even if it could be sourced is relevant to an article. All I did was adding NPOV to the page along with references and removing non-encyclopedic content. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:11, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Crystallizedcarbon! Thank you very much for your observations. I wrote the arguments about the importance of the article, but they were deleted. So I share by this media the arguments. If you consider that they are fine, let me know it and if you consider that they aren't enough let me know it too. Thank you.
Mauricio Martínez has participated at the international artistic project named Alzado Vertical or Vectorial Elevation of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer in 1999 in Mexico City. This project was send messages using lights with powerful beams that could be seen within a 15 kilometers[1]. Alzado Vertical was present in many countries like Spain, France, Ireland and Canada.
As entrepreneur, Mauricio Martínez and his partner business had adopted a new business model that gathers and mixes characteristics of Private Equity, Business incubator and Community. In a pragmatic way, this model is functional, the result is that the conglomerate is active. In a theorical way, this model is yet in development. To mention Mauricio Martínez and this business model, means that the union of those elements: economic and social responsibility, it is possible and they could be applying to another enterprises like spin offs or startups, that search vertical and horizontal integration, focusing at the strengthening of Community. This is a key factor, because it grows with collaborators when they become business partners of the group, they have also the possibility of home office and they get rewards like emotional salary. This way of management fits to the nowadays necessities[2].
Mauricio Martínez as creative director impulse Movil Evolution to promote the Mexican touristic government program named: Mexico, lives to believe it[3]. This touristic program is famous because of his creativity and interactivity[4].
In addition, Mauricio Martínez as a cofounder of Black Ecco Group, an enterprise that hire millennials, searches to change the negative image of this word “millennial”, understand as an immature, individualist generation that only searches shortcuts to get what they want[5]. In the United States it is normal to find this kind of enterprise models that only hire millennials[6], but in Mexico it is emerging . To illustrate this argument, the company named Great Place to Work shows that in Mexico there are only 40 enterprises in the ranking of 50 to 500 collaborators[7].

I understand the reason for deletion as I was actually testing the mechanics of submission. I plan to develop a full entry stressing the importance and significance of her art, and resubmit in several weeks. If more appropriate, I could submit first to you, rather than as a full Wikipedia entry. I would appreciate suggestions on how to proceed. Delevynyc (talk) 01:04, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Delevynyc: Do you have any relation to Ellen K Levy? The first step would be to decide if it meets our general notability guidelines for inclusion. If you think it does, I will be happy to review the sources and give you my input. If there is enough in-depth coverage by independent reliable sources, you could make a draft in you sandbox and I would help you review it. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:03, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you @crystalizedcarbon for offering to assist me and for pointing me to Wiki's notability guidelines. In answer to your specific question, yes, we are related; I was not trying to hide that, and I did this without her consent. The notability guidelines are helpful and I think that I could write text with sources that you would agree met the guidelines. But as your question to me implies, this is best done by someone unrelated. So I will not pursue this or intrude further on your time. Thank you once more. Delevynyc (talk) 11:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
ACTRIAL:
WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.
Backlog drive:
A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
Editathons
There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
Paid editing - new policy
Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Subject-specific notability guidelines
The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
Not English
A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
News
Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.
No,it just seems curious it only contains people arrested after the independence attempt but this isn't mentioned in its title. ♫ RichardWeisstalkcontribs 18:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello @RichardWeiss: Creating a category just for them would probably not be OK. The way it was created as a regional level for a parent category, even if it now includes that subset of individuals is OK, as there is nothing to prevent adding other BLPs from Catalonia that are incarcerated to the category. Best regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 19:24, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Perhaps the name could be changed to reflect its actual content? ♫ RichardWeisstalkcontribs 13:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello @RichardWeiss: Personally I don't think that would be a good idea, that new category may not be valid. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:01, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Also, I have doubts about the definition of minister that this Wikipedia provides, changed in this revision without sources . It does not fit with the definitions, for example, of the Oxford and Collins dictionaries.
I came here as Crystallizedcarbon had been editing cats and I didn't know what to think. Those articles need working on, added to my watchlist. And I found the cat which I brought here looking for one for those arrested for misuse of public funds etc re the referendum to add them to my watchlist. Kind regards to you both. ♫ RichardWeisstalkcontribs 13:24, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
@BallenaBlanca:@RichardWeiss: I think it's a bad translation (valid but misleading) of the Spanish word "consejero" or "consellers" in Catalan and of the Spanish "consejerías". Properly translating es:Consejería_(España) might be helpful. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:01, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
We can see the light at the end of the tunnel: there are currently 2900 unreviewed articles, and 4000 unreviewed redirects.
Announcing the Backlog Elimination Drive!
As a final push, we have decided to run a backlog elimination drive from the 20th to the 30th of June.
Reviewers who review at least 50 articles or redirects will receive a Special Edition NPP Barnstar: . Those who review 100, 250, 500, or 1000 pages will also receive tiered awards: , , , .
Please do not be hasty, take your time and fully review each page. It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing.
Hello Crystallizedcarbon. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hiroyuki Kanno (game designer), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: creating notable games indicates significance, there also seems to be some content from ja-wiki that should be translated instead. Thank you. SoWhy 11:06, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)
Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers. Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
New technology, new rules
New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Hello @Marajozkee: Speedy deletion was declined so you can improve the article.

Hello @GUY7ON: Are you related to the band? The problem is that at the moment the band does not seem to be notable according to WP:BAND. Please let me know if there is in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the band. I could not find any, or if you think that it meets the points in WP:BAND. If not it will be nominated for deletion and the community will decide if it meets the criteria for inclusion. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 11:35, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi
I am not related to the band
The band are verified on twitter facebook spotify and have music on all major outlets
They have appeared in kerrang magazine and the various newspapers
They were tour support for Mcfly, and many other well known artists such as toploader, elliot minor, fuzzbox.
Can a reference that is not online be used? GUY7ON (talk) 12:44, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
If you feel that there is enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG you could create a draft on your sandbox and have an experienced editor evaluate if it meets the criteria for inclusion before trying to move it to the main space. If you show me the links of the sources I can review them and give you my opinion. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:26, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 23:04, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes, thank you for that consideration. I almost got demoralized. I started working on and creating that article during and after Edit-a-ton with University of Nigeria Nsukka feminist training and I intend sincerely to finish it up.
I am passionate about creating the biography of Prof. Stella Nwizu because she is a notable personality. She has worked with different international organizations. I will go back to the guidelines and be sure my article meets your criteria. Thanks once again.

Hello @Grace onyebuchi: I have reviewed and edit the lead according to WP:MOSBIO. The first thing you need to do is establish notability. To do so you need to search for independent reliable sources that talk in depth about professor Chioma Nwizu. Please look for them and reply to this message listing what you find. Also, please don't forget to sign your comments on talk pages, either with this button on your menu: or by typing this code: --~~~~. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:01, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Can you give me an example of references with in-depth coverage about the subject from independent reliable sources using only external links.? (07:57 User:Brassmonger, 3 September 2018 (UTC))
Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish the opinions only of reliable authors, and not the opinions of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves. The following examples cover only some of the possible types of reliable sources and source reliability issues, and are not intended to be exhaustive. Proper sourcing always depends on context; common sense and editorial judgment are an indispensable part of the process.
Examples would be books, news articles, magazines that meet the criteria outlined in the policy cited above and are written by authors not related to the subject. Within them there should be in depth content about him, not just small mentions. Here are two examples of valid references used in the article on Stephen_Hawking: and . --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 10:27, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
I would like that you help me recover my ongoing Alex Akinyemi Victor page. I want to open a page for a Local footballer who has a reference from a reliable source. i can send to you to view if allowed. I would appreciate your guide and assistance to put up the page.
Thank you WikiSiji (talk) 11:52, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello @WikiSiji: There should be in-depth coverage from multiple reliable sources to meet our notability guidelines or being able to demonstrate that it meets WP:NFOOTBALL. You can of course, send me the references that you find on the subject and I will be happy to look at them and give you my opinion. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 12:07, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
WikiSiji (talk) 13:09, 14 September 2018 (UTC)See below for available references.
Hello @WikiSiji: It is not enough to meet WP:GNG. There should be in-depth coverage centered on the subject himself, not just mentions. Another criteria for inclusion would be if in the future he plays for a team in the Nigerian Professional Football League or in an international competitive match representing his country. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:36, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Crystallizedcarbon I appreciate your help and will try to get a link that references him but kindly see blow link of his club and help confirm if suitable. Thank you
https://westafricanfootball.com/2014/05/26/giwa-fc-2014/WikiSiji (talk) 13:40, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello @WikiSiji: Giwa is not a fully professional team according to this list: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Fully_professional_leagues and the link just mentions the player, so unfortunately it is not enough at this time. If in the future he meets the criteria outlined above, it will be suitable for inclusion and it could be recreated. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:43, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Crystallizedcarbon I have gone through the list. I need to do some clarification here Giwa football club is one of nigeria's indigenous clubs and recognised by the nigeria football league. it ios also on wikipedia see []. I think there is a mistake kindly confirm. WikiSiji (talk) 20:32, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
@WikiSiji: Good, If Giwa F.C. is a team in the Nigerian Professional Football League then the player would meet WP:NFOOTBALL. If posible find a couple of reliable references to source the claim. then create an article in you sandbox (you can access it in the top right menu) once it is done, let me know and I will be happy to help you improve it and move it to the main space. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:59, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Crystallizedcarbon Thank you. i have created an article in my sandbox. i will be glad to receive your assitance how do you view the article? Thank you
WikiSiji (talk) 22:56, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi @WikiSiji: I added a reference section to your article so you can use inline citations. please see Help:Referencing for beginners. the article now has only the infobox but no text. Also all sources are from before Giwa was expelled from Nigerian football leage see here. Please try to find references of its current status and start working on the intro of the article. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:23, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Crystallizedcarbon Thank you for your guide. I have put together a text for him. Kindly help look at it and advice. Thank youWikiSiji (talk) 12:41, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello @WikiSiji: You do not need to add the @Crystallizedcarbon on the messages you write on my talk page, as I get notified automatically of any changes. It is a good idea to use the {{ping|username}} or {{re|username}} templates when you are sending a message or replying to another user on your own talk page.
Please notice the changes I made to your first draft. notice how I converted your external link into a reference as outlined in Help:Referencing for beginners. I also added a citation needed template. you need to add references to source that content (previous teams and to show whether Giwa has been added back to the league after being spelled in 2016). Also, the three references in the reference section should be moved to the correct place in the body of the text (as inline references) if they are useful to source any content, or else you should delete them. I will take another look after you fix it. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:27, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
I appreciate your assistance so far. thank you very much. I have done the edition and hope it can go out now?
WikiSiji (talk) 17:25, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
@WikiSiji: The article still needs work. the reference you added is from 2014 and does not source many of the claims. Please find a current reliable source that shows that the team is now reinstated in the league. Also please find a reference for his previous teams. Finally you need to fix the last three references (labeled 3, 4 and 5) which are not been used in the text. copy and paste them at the proper place if they can source any of the content or remove them. Thank you. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 17:36, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
I dont know where to put the last three references (labeled 3, 4 and 5) but they can be used to source any of the content. i sincerely didnt see anylink for his previous team. kindly advice what i can do to have this article wiki verified. then Giwa Fc is yet to be reinstated in the league. the last source i got is this [1] but the club is still listed as one of the Nigerian Clubs see [2] But this whole back and forth tussle with the NFL and thye club is having a negative impact on the players from having transfers. please kindly help me with a way out as i am a bit new using this platform but i will love to assist footballers in my country achieve recognition. thank youWikiSiji (talk) 18:00, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
@WikiSiji: My advice would be to wait on this article until the dust settles and the team is reinstated in the league. Once that happens there will be sources and everything would be much easier. Otherwise it would probably be deleted again. In the mean time, if you want, you can create articles for other Nigerian footballers from other teams that are currently in the league. The more sources you add the better. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:07, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
Okay. But the player can not wait there are some opportunities for him and he needs the wikiprofile to rank up. But my question is why should the expulsion of the club affect the article. i think the article is meant to portrays the fact about a situation. maybe i will just have to rewrite the article in another way to justify his moving on from the team.

Hello again @WikiSiji: The article is better, but at this time I don't think it meets the requirements for inclusion, it does not meet WP:GNG and since the club is no longer in the league I don't think WP:NFOOTBALL is met either, so my advice would be to wait until the club is reinstated in the league, if you don't have a direct relationship with the player (see WP:COI) and still want to go ahead you can hit on the submit draft button at the top of the article on your sandbox and it will be reviewed by other editors.

List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing
Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget.
In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions.
MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues.
User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page)
User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js(info): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50).
User:Primefac/revdel.js(info): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you.
User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).
Close
Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.
Project news
The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.
As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

Backlog
As of 21 October 2018[update], 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.

Hi there and thanks for your messages.
I have an ongoing project with my own commercial website. In the course of my work I am listing the circa 2500 Vanity Fair Caricature prints. These were produced between 1869 and 1914 so are, as far as I thought, well out of any copyright. The prints come witha sheet of text written at the time of printing by an ascerbic wit of the day, Thomas Gibson Bowles under the pseudonym Jehu Junior. What has been interesting is that the contemporary writings have not been subject to history revisionists.
I frequently see detail on his writings that is missing from his (the subject's) Wikipedia listing. In fact this has happened again today. Also, the caricature images are frequently missing. I was merely hoping to add these images to the wikipedia listing for people to see. No opinion is offered, merely, a visual of the print or the listing.
It is of interest that many of the images on Wikipedia are actually taken from my original postings on other sites (without my permission but I don't mind.). It has been interesting but sadly I am short of time and cannot spend long editing etc.
So I think it is best for me to stop contributing as I don't have time go into great detail. I was hoping to quickly upload and move on.
Once again, thank you for your advice.
My best regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttandm4h (talk • contribs) 11:05, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
You are right, because of the date they are part of the public domain. The problem when you uploaded them is that you put yourself as the author releasing them under "CC self|cc-by-sa-4.0" I did not notice the date and that is why I tagged them as copyvio. Sorry for that. Please look at this one which was fixed: George_Payne_Vanity_Fair_Print_25th_September_1875.jpg] you can use {{creator:Carlo Pellegrini}} for the author and {{PD-old}} for the license and upload any other Caricatures from the series. As far as the article you tried to created if you don't have time to work on it I can nominate it for deletion. Best regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:07, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello Crystallizedcarbon,
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.

Hello,
The BN Project page was created to provide information about this global movement. I shall be happy to have recommendations for correcting what you envisage are the "promotional" aspects of the page. Surely the inclusion of a Facebook and Twitter link is standard for most celebrity pages and yet you don't nominate these for deletion, do you? The BN project is a celebrity of sorts as a grass-roots organisation.

@MissParker~enwiki: The use of inline external links is not allowed in the main text. The article content seemed like and advertisement. Information should be neutral and based only on independent reliable sources. Some information was referenced, but a large amount seemed like original research. ¿what was you source?

"Seemed" like an advertisement? Does that mean you didn't even actually read the article? What exactly is wrong with external links? I thought the point was to have links to reliable sources...how can they be reliable if they are only internal?
MissParker (talk) 15:44, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello @MissParker~enwiki: The tone must be neutral. That was not the case in your article. Please see WP:PUFFERY and Wikipedia:Identifying_blatant_advertising#Typical_signs_of_blatant_advertising. About the external links please read Wikipedia:External links I think it will help you understand the difference between references and external links. References are needed, but external links to websites should not be added within the body of the article like you did on multiple places.

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001reviews), Semmendinger (8,440reviews), PRehse (8,092reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016reviews), and Elmidae (3,615reviews). Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only sevenmonths, 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.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640holders 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 3December 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.
