Hello Lee Vilenski. It's good to see you are still editing. I talked to you a while before like 2 years ago (I hope you remember me :/) before my Discord account was deleted. It is good to see you are still around. And I also saw that there is an RFB up which is cool too. I hope you remember me. How have you been recently? Naleksuh (talk) 17:30, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you don't mind me reverting your edit. I had previously tried Refill 2 to fix the bare URLs and it worked - but then I noticed they were grouping them under the wrong source. I explained it in more detail in my edit note. But basically Refill 2 is confusing two sources and grouping all the BFI ones under Hollywood Reporter one. Would you know a way to fix it? I don't other than using Refill2. If my edit is in error, please revert it. Thanks. 2001:BB6:4E18:E358:70B9:504A:E11D:D0FA (talk) 14:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think it's a Refill issue. Looks like some things were labelled before as "auto2", but against that source. I'm only speculating of course. I can take a look a bit later and see if this makes a difference. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:07, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! I've undone my edit that reverted yours to remove the tag in case someone else just uses refill2 again and I'll let you have a look at the sources grouping when you have time, thanks again. 2001:BB6:4E18:E358:70B9:504A:E11D:D0FA (talk) 16:42, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Just checked the page and see you fixed all the sources. Major thanks again - great job! 2001:BB6:4E18:E358:70B9:504A:E11D:D0FA (talk) 18:54, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Indeed. At some point, the "auto2" was changed to the other source. Still needs a little cleanup, but if that's what you were looking for, then we are all good. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:56, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Lee Vilenski, I'm sure you were doing what you thought is best for the article, but there is pretty broad agreement on the talk page that removing the flags was a loss rather than a gain. Unfortunately, undo action was not possible for your first big edit, which has made it a little tedious to add the flags back (but I did start - the tables are a bit of a mess atm though). Anyway, I thought I'd point it out to you, dunno if you'd have browsed past the page again.
Regards, Sean Heron (talk) 16:07, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
P.S. For clarities sake - I really just wanted to point out the sentiment of other editors on the page (as well as the fact that adding the flags back is a little tricky). So, no request for action here, just information! (though if you could readd the flags in the tables, I'm sure it would generally be appreciated :P ).
- I've left a response on the talk page. I would have recommended just combining the diffs and hitting undo. I won't be adding the flags back into the page, as they shouldn't be there, as they are purely decorative. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:11, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

The article Cribbage (pool) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold 
. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Cribbage (pool) for issues which need to be addressed.

I hadn't worked on the 2021 French Grand Prix article for a few months, so it wasn't at the forefront of my mind, but it's an honour to see an article I've worked on given the Good Article badge. Looking through your review I'm trying to address the issues you bought up, although I'm not sure how to address the qualification table issue. Since the review is closed, I'll address a couple of the points bought up here:
- My personal preference for saying "
Sole Formula One tyre supplier...
" comes from running some other articles past friends or relatives who don't follow F1 and finding that they express confusion as to why teams wouldn't simply use tyres from another company if some sort of issue with the tyres arises (punctures, lack of grip etc).- I feel like just saying "the F1 tyre supplier" gets across that they are the only one. Saying "sole" is a bit unnecessarily accurate. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Both are basically identical so either should be fine. To me "sole" feels a bit more neutral than "the" (perhaps I associate it with adverts declaring a particular product to be the definitive product in a particular class), but if others were to express a preference for "the" in an FAC or the like I'd be fine with changing it. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 11:39, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- I feel like just saying "the F1 tyre supplier" gets across that they are the only one. Saying "sole" is a bit unnecessarily accurate. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- I agree that having the prose and tables intertwined is messy (and may be a MOS:ACCESS issue), but the current Wikiproject consensus is to have that format.
- I'm aware. I always bring it up, as it should be challenged. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not really sure what prose would be best added to the "Championship standings after the race" section. I think most of that information is more coherently presented within the context of the race report, but a simple prose description of the championship standings would be relatively easy to add.
- Just an explaination line, something like "Below is the top five positions championship standings after the race for both constructor's and driver's.[168]" I do this with my snooker tournaments, see 2021 World Snooker Championship#Main draw for an example. This avoids the un-needed note, and you can source in prose rather than at the bottom of the table. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Additional note I missed from the GAN - there's some MOS:FLAG issues, in that you should really define flags on first use, so they should use {{flagathlete}}. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Similar to the other issues with tables this is something where Wikiproject norms (which can be very hard to get people to budge on) are likely to run up against the MOS as articles reach GAN or FAC. If this does get put up for FAC then it could lead to a change in the Wikiproject, though more likely it'd just result in the article getting labelled a "special exception" like 1982 Formula One World Championship did regarding {{flagathlete}}.

hello sir we have run a news website for three years. we want to create a Wikipedia page for our website. please help us for making a page on Wikipedia --Since Independence News (talk) 12:05, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- The short answer Since Independent News, is don't. First of all, Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about topics you have a conflict of interest in. Your newspaper is very unlikely to meet our notability guidelines, so it would be likely deleted very quickly. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:35, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Lee Vilenski/Archives/2022,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. 
Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 11919 articles, as of 12:00, 10 November 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
- To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
