We now have 828 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hi there . . now I've seen more broadly whats trying to be achieved in terms of adding women sporting teams and players, and a silly self-perpetuating gender-biased AfD process based on flawed notability guidelines, I'll not trim any new article in this space. Even though I think my edits for Jacynta Galabadaarachchi were reasonable for balance for an established article, I think having an article initially being a little off topic, and with duplicated references for the same 'event', it is needed at this time because of the bigger picture.
Hopefully, I will remake those edits in a couple of years' time when male WikiEditors are comfortable that female sports is a legitimate topic for this encyclopedia. Matilda Maniac (talk) 02:04, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Yuly Muñoz a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Yuli Munoz. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 00:15, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Do not revert my edits, especially without explanation, when I'm actually trying to explain why the assistance I've given has been thrown back at me and the seemingly deliberate misunderstandings of that project entirely dissuade long-term editors who actively seek to help such minorities (e.g. my work with WP:ACCESS over the last decade) from ever helping again.

Why did you revert me at Katherine Johnson? My edit was a reversion of possible vandalism, at best misguided edits. The sentence, "Katherine Johnson continued her career at NASA space station." (which you restored) makes no sense whatsoever. --Krelnik (talk) 21:39, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Hmlarson, for a third time you have reverted edits on the Jacqui Ceballos page without an explanation or valid reason provided. And it's been done despite my requests to you in edit summaries, as well as the following pinged message to you on the article talk page:
This is a collaborative project. It's not helpful if you make blanket reversions without any effort to discuss them. It certainly can be considered disruptive. (And it appears from your talk page that this may not be an isolated incident.) Please understand that discussion of one's edits when requested (WP:TALK) is a required behavior here. I'd appreciate your adherence to this. — CactusWriter (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello fellow project participants. Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon! WikiGuy86 (talk) 04:17, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you are still restoring draft articles created by Sander.v.Ginkel. The deadline for the clean-up ended at 24:00 UTC 24 April 2017. There may be a slight delay before all the draft articles are deleted, but any moves of these articles from draft to mainspace after the deadline will be deleted.

The article Jess Fishlock you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold .

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 828 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Hey there, I know you're mostly interested in women's soccer, however I want your help with something related to men's soccer. I did create an article for Josh Sargent. He is a young standout in american soccer. Despite not yet a pro player, I think he has enough media coverage to claim notability. I included several references.

Re: your last edit on Gwen Ifill - what I was trying to get across was that we usually only use the "birth name" field in the infobox when a person's full name at birth is known (ie, without using initials for their middle names). I think it's a bit unnecessary and just adds bulk to the infobox when the info is incomplete anyways. I'm not going to petty edit war about it, but perhaps a talk page discussion may be in order.

Forgive me for asking here, but I can't find this query posed on talk or project pages, but as an active women's football editor, do you know of any discussion concerning moving national sports teams from "_ national football team" to "_ men's national football team" (all other sports included)?

Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: August 2017 |
Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO? |
![]() According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome. |
New initiatives have been created for:
While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page. |
Thank you for your continued contributions to articles related to women's football / soccer (WOSO)! |

This sort of comment is completely unacceptable. Calling out editors who do things you disagree with is an appalling way to behave. If you make similar bad faith accusations in public again then I will look for an opinion at ANI regarding you being blocked.

Hi Hmlarson, its a good job you're doing here. I'm here to seek your counsel concerning something. The NWPL regular season ended this week and I was sent pdf documents containing details of the league that just ended. I wanted to ask if there was a Wikimedia Library where I could license WOSO documents to? I will extract encyclopedic details from them for the WP article, but it will be nice if Wikimedia has an original copy. Darreg (talk) 22:07, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Two quick points: firstly, please, and I am sure I have mentioned this to you before, do not add leagues that have not achieved consensus at WT:FPL. Secondly, In this instance, I would reject one of these sources as confirming FPL status as it indicates that the level of remuneration, while improving is still well below average incomes for the country. For Australia your source confirms a minimum salary of $10k a season. However, this indicates the average wage in Australia to be somewhere in the region of $80k a year. I therefore do not accept that sufficient salary is guaranteed to ensure the league is fully professional. For France this suggests the average salary is twice the average wage in the country so probably fully professional. However, I still think best to get consensus on this first so if in the future the link is lost that there is something to back it up. I have started a thread and indicated I believe this is sufficient for FPL confirmation. Fenix down (talk) 07:40, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I'm happy to see you asked for Billie Jean King to be peer reviewed. I had been thinking this would be a good time to work on that article since there's a new movie about King coming soon. Would you like to try and collaborate on improving the Billie Jean King article? I don't know all that much about King, but I think that article could use a lot of sourcing help and I think I can make some progress there. Let me know if you have any interest. Thanks!

Hey, I started creating a transfers page for the current W-League. Have a look and tell me what you think.. Is it even worth having it as a page (I think so, especially as we don't have clubs' season pages)? How's the format? (improvements welcome). Because of the format of the W-League transfers (no multi-year contracts) I put in the re-signings section to differentiate between new players and continuing, but maybe it should all be together? I'm going to sleep now as it's almost 2am 😴. I'll continue to add to it tomorrow if I have time or if I don't get around to it, then it'll have to be after Rosh Hashanah. Cheers, --SuperJew (talk) 22:50, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
I've started creating a page for W-League transfers for 2016–17 season too. I was wondering what do you think? Should transfers out of the W-League be included (like Goad joining Stanford Uni or Little's loan return to Seattle) (as they're not real transfers since there are no multi-year contracts)? --SuperJew (talk) 11:41, 24 September 2017 (UTC) Also, sometimes players are one season at a different club than they were the season before, but their move went through an off-season (Aussie perspective-wise) stint at an overseas club, so then it's completely confusing. --SuperJew (talk) 13:13, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
Well, I've finished with W-League transfers for 2016–17 season - let me know what you think. Wow, that took a long time, and it reminded me why it's hard to update women's soccer related stuff - on average the articles are much less updated than the counter men's articles. For every 2nd transfer I added to the page, I updated the player's page too. --SuperJew (talk) 10:37, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
There's a guy on the talk page of the Alex Morgan article that says he's going to delete the statistics on assists from the Alex Morgan article. Saying something about a guideline. Is there a policy wonk on the women's side who can argue this point with him? To lose statistics on assists would be a real loss.

This is just to let you know that 2017 Nigeria Women Premier League 1 2 has ended, specifically yesterday. I recall you were saying something about putting it somewhere on WP, the last time I was on your TP. I haven't had time to update and cleanup the article, but possibly that should be done this week.

Hello Hmlarson, my name is Jay eyem, and I had some questions regarding this initiative for women's collegiate soccer. Another user has created a task force for college soccer, but I understood that the women's task force already had such an initiative. I am hoping to understand how this initiative works so that I can better understand the process, expand the college soccer task force, and to possibly contribute to the women's initiative. I also wanted your input on all of this since you seem like the most active and knowledgeable member of the women's football task force, so if you have the time to respond I would be grateful. Cheers! Jay eyem (talk) 16:54, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Hey Hmlarson, I saw this and suddenly thought you might be interested in either editing, fixing etc the article, or participating in the FLC? It would be great to have some input from an expert in women's sport if you have the time. Cheers, The Rambling Man (talk) 18:31, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
On 25 October 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ashley Hatch, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ashley Hatch was named 2017 NWSL Rookie of the Year and helped the North Carolina Courage win the 2017 NWSL Shield, scoring seven goals in 24 games? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ashley Hatch. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ashley Hatch), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.
Hello Hmlarson:
Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia, and have a happy and enjoyable Halloween!

Hello
Firstly, may I apologise for contacting you.
The above article has been nominated for deletion. I live in central Scotland and feel the Central Girls Football Academy article is very important. The club does a lot for the community and their women's senior team play in the second tier of women's football here in Scotland (from 2018) and they play in the SFA Cup, which is the national cup competition.
I see you are on the women's soccer taskforce. Women's football in scotland does not get a lot of exposure and many think this article has helped raise exposure of women's football in central scotland. There are not alot of sources for the club online due to this but the club were clear winners in the third tier this season.
The article deletion is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Central_Girls_Football_Academy
I was hoping if there was anything you could do to help, you could help us keep this article online. I really feel this article helps improve wikipedia. There has already been support but if you could help it would be much appreciated.
Apologies again for contacting you.
Thanks

Hi Hmlarson,
Thank you for signing up to use our system. Very sorry for this very delayed response. We have been working on a Signpost to publicize our study. Right now, we are waiting for more participants to sign up, and should be ready to provide recommendations soon. I will let you know when we will provide you a list of recommendation candidates if you are still interested. Thank you for your patience! Bobo.03 (talk) 00:25, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed that you're a member of the Women in Technology project and I wonder whether you might like to review Draft: Caryn Marooney, an executive at Facebook who runs communications there. I have a WP: COI, so must reach out for an independent review of my submissions, even though I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor.
Thanks for considering this!
