New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Eddie891,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 815 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 847 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do 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.

- Several areas of improvement collated from community member votes have been identified in the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines. The areas of improvement have been sent back for review and you are invited to provide input on these areas.
- Administrators using the mobile web interface can now access Special:Block directly from user pages. (T307341)
- The IP Info feature has been deployed to all wikis as a Beta Feature. Any autoconfirmed user may enable the feature using the "IP info" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features. Autoconfirmed users will be able to access basic information about an IP address that includes the country and connection method. Those with advanced privileges (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser) will have access to extra information that includes the Internet Service Provider and more specific location.
- Remedy 2 of the Rachel Marsden case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to delete or reduce to a stub, together with their talk pages, articles related to Rachel Marsden when they violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy.
- An arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been closed.
Cecilie Fløe
Hi Eddie891 - please would you consider restoring Cecilie Fløe to my userspace? The deletion in August (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cecilie Fløe) was apparently on the basis of her not having played for her national team and not meeting NFOOTBALL. But she has now played for her national team and NFOOTBALL has been deprecated. With new coverage I am confident that I can improve the article to a standard where WP:GNG is met. Thanks, Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 13:22, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Matador Network
Hello Eddie891, my name is Nickolaus Hines, and I'm the new managing editor at Matador Network. I'm sorry to see that there was some bad sourcing and promotion done in the past that led to you recommending the Wikipedia page be deleted (Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Matador_Network). I'd like to revisit the page deletion and see if there's a way to have a Wikipedia page that has proper sourcing? I'm not aware of how or why the link spamming was done in the past, but I believe the publication has enough influence in the travel industry and as a resource for travelers and creators that a Wikipedia page is warranted. I'm including a few authoritative sources talking about the site below, and I'm happy to discuss this further or provide more information.

Request for unlocking the page
Hi Eddie, It seems the Newgen Software page was not up to the Wikipedia standards I have noted the issues and ensure you that the future page will be from a neutral perspective and have relevant information. Newgen Software is a registered software entity and is listed in the share market as well. Having a Wikipedia page will ensure the viewers gain insights into the organisation. I would hence request you to unlock the following page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Newgen_Software_(2nd_nomination) Thanks, Neeshu S — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neeshu30 (talk • contribs) 06:18, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
