I see you protected Thomas Fleetwood (1661-1717)) to prevent AnomieBOT from recreating it as a redirect to Thomas Fleetwood (1661–1717)). The better solution is what Tamzin did: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 June 18#Thomas Fleetwood (1661-1717)) to delete the endash-containing title too so AnomieBOT will have no reason to create it.

Hello Ritchie333,
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[lower-alpha 1] 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.[lower-alpha 2]
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).
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.
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.
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: 11536 articles, as of 02:00, 9 September 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.

Hello Ritchie333:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in July 2022!
Running from July 1 to 31, 2022, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event focused on the topic of women and the environment. Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works during the event period (with an emphasis on environmental links and topics). GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to receive a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
Alanna the Brave (talk) 13:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Hi, Ritch - before I nominate these hotels for ?speedy? or AfD - will you take a look at them. I'm thinking speedy because (a) they're not notable, (b) it's obvious promo, and (c) PE?? It's pretty obvious when you look at the editor's contributions. I'm a bit confused as to why this editor (admin) decided to tag that particular promo for all the reasons it should have been speedy deleted. Atsme 💬 📧 11:05, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie 333
could you help me? I am trying to add an article but it has been reverted and protected it. Subject is an actor and person in the movie. Subject is not a movie.
Conversation on talk page is as follows...
"I reverted your latest attempt to bypass the protection currently placed upon the creation of the article Caylee Cowan by using alternative capitalization. Do not do this again.
It has already been suggested in the past that you take the proper route to create an article for this subject. I also suggest you take that route. | Uncle Milty | talk | 00:51, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333. I‘m addressing you because I saw you banned Mathsci. For a long time I‘ve had exactly the same problems with him - like obviously so many others, described in the Administrators' noticeboard. He wouldn‘t stop edit warring and deleting sourced and relevant material, without good reason or arguments. He also repeatedly changed the meaning or the appearance of my contributions on various talk pages. Most of that in articles about music, especially around the composer Frédéric Chopin.
In his farewell-statement, Mathsci identified his friends/network, like Smerus or the administrator Johnuniq. This made me see many things more clear and understand: Together, they tried to intimidate me, heckle me or even hound me and deleted my well sourced contributions without good arguments, more than once obviously acting as a group.
Like that, Mathsci, Smerus and Nihil novi also started dominating and undermining a RfC, filibustering without end and with this conduct omitting sources and quotes which are relevant for the discourse, but they personally didn‘t like.
That’s not the conduct you would expect of users and contributors of an open and free encyclopedia like Wikipedia, is it? Could you have a look at that please or give me a hint? Perhaps also Hammersoft could help? Chip-chip-2020 (talk) 07:35, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333,
I don't understand why you reverted my contribution of Euston railway station. Before my contribution and after your revert, the article reads: "...including the demolition of the Great Hall, while a 11,000-square-foot (1,000 m2) temporary building housed..." I'm not a native speaker, but I think because it's pronounced "eleventhousend square foot", it must be "an eleventhousand" and not "a eleventhousand"? --Cyfal (talk) 18:22, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello Ritchie333,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

- I use refill all the time and it has never had any issues. I think we would benefit from lots of people using it, adding metadata for the sites they use to a central place. Things like publisher dates and authors are always difficult unless programmed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:56, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Regarding bots, the closest thing we have is User:Citation bot. My thinking is that we need something like User:ClueBot NG that can be taught to interpret websites so that it can harvest citation parameters from them, just like ClueBot NG has been taught to spot vandalism.

Hi Ritchie333,
For those who may have missed it in our last newsletter, here's a quick reminder to see the letter we have drafted, and if you support it, do please go ahead and sign it. If you already signed, thanks. Also, if you haven't noticed, the backlog has been trending up lately; all reviews are greatly appreciated.

I noticed you edited the page KeepTruckin last year. It's got new issues I was hoping you could help resolve ... It needs someone to verify the info and change the page name to Motive. RDGray22 (talk) 15:43, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello. In July you closed the deletion discussion, and I'd ask you to consider the last poster on the page who mentioned that these kind of hoax pages are usually moved to their own page and then listed on Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. The MacMasters article, with the photo, seems to be one of the long 10-years-plus duration hoaxes, so could you please resurrect it (and the photo if that was also deleted) and move it over to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Alan MacMasters. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:53, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear of your malady whatever it might be. I caught Covid at the end of GenCon and have had to sit on the sidelines for a couple of weeks. Feeling much better the last few days. Take care of yourself. BusterD (talk) 18:52, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey Ritchie, remember Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The operational to liberal the hala'ib triangle? You closed it as "merge", and I don't dispute that, but the article title was turned into a redirect into the proper merge target. Redirects are supposed to be logical and useful, and I sincerely doubt someone is going to type "The operational to liberal the hala'ib triangle" when they mean "Liberation of Halaib Triangle", unless both of their hands are broken and they are being electrocuted Three Stooges style at the same time. Is it proper for me to ask you to simply delete the redirect, or do I have to formally nominate it? -Indy beetle (talk) 06:48, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
Demon Queen - See this, but because I cannot see the state of the article when deleted, I'm not sure its recreation is not a repeat performance. Either way, it is dependent on the inherited notability of Black Moth Super Rainbow, and s'pose the latter is notable because a "record label" published them? Your thoughts, please? Atsme 💬 📧 16:30, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi, you are the administrator who resolved the deletion discussion for List of Compositions for Viola: A to B (and other letters of the alphabet) with a resolution of Keep. The person who nominated the pages for deletion has tried to circumvent that decision by severely editing all of the pages into a drastically reduced page just called Viola repertoire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_repertoire#C). I don't know about the rollback process to understand how to start it, but is this something that you can assist with? The wholesale removal of these pages is just devastating to the viola community. Dbynog (talk) 17:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
Sorry, been off-wiki for a few days. It looks like WP:BEFOREMOVING was not followed, you should never move a page if you believe it to be controversial (and the DRV comments certainly indicate it is). So I think you would have consensus to revert. As you do that, I'm not sure as it looks a bit technically complicated, maybe ask for assistance at ANI? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:50, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
If the need for a merge is obvious, editors can be bold and simply do it. However, now that there is opposition, I have now started a discussion on the WikiProject about how to go along with this and many other similar pages. I didn't circumvent any decision. I just felt that the decision was different: that there is some consensus that lists of repertoire/compositions are notable. So I made the page comply with Wikipedia's guidelines/policies. Gerda disagrees with my interpretation, and I disagree with them. Unfortunately, they have not given me any policy or guideline based reason to revert my merge. As I see it, their argument breaks down into "I like it" and "it's useful". Why? I Ask (talk) 16:11, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Ritchie, I noticed you redacted some nasty insults directed at Queen Elizabeth on Panda's talk and wanted to let you know it looks like an edit conflict brought them back and you may want to redact again - if I am misunderstanding what happened and you have already seen this, I apologize for the waste of time. StartGrammarTime (talk) 00:11, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Ritchie, could I ask you to please move the Alan MacMasters article you deleted to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Alan MacMasters, per precedent with notable hoaxes (e.g. Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Bicholim conflict), so the edit history remains available? Thanks --Andreas JN466 17:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
