I'm no longer participating in new page reviewing so am unable to help with request for pages to be reviewed.

If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error, please let me know. I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please don't interpret an error on my part as a personal attack on you. It's not, I promise. I ask you to simply bring it to my attention; I am always open to civil discussion. Thank you. --John B123 (talk) 15:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of The Amara Sulya Freedom Movement for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Amara Sulya Freedom Movement is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Amara Sulya Freedom Movement until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello John B123,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Suggestions:

There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello John B123,

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello John B123,

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Notability tag

Can you tell me how Sooraj Thapar does not meet WP:NACTOR? Multiple sources have been cited to confirm he meets it. Dympies (talk) 10:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dympies Most of the references in the article describe the roles he is playing with quotes from Thapar. None of them provide any in depth coverage of Thapar himself rather than the roles he is playing. Regards --John B123 (talk) 20:10, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Finnish prostitutes

A tag has been placed on Category:Finnish prostitutes indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗plicit 03:54, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revert of StreetComplete article creation

Hello, why do you think that StreetComplete is not "notable" enough to have a Wikipedia article? Many other OpenStreetMap-editors like iD, JOSM, and Potlatch, as well as the more map focused applications Organic Maps and OsmAnd have a Wikipedia article. As mentioned in the Usage section of the StreetComplete article, StreetComplete is the second most used OpenStreetMap editor (by number of users). Fkjs (talk) 08:39, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fkjs. From WP:GNG: A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. GitHub, OpenStreetMap's wiki and Google Play Store are not independent sources. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 19:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying, I will improve the sources. Fkjs (talk) 19:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fkjs: If you add the template {{under construction}} or {{in creation}} to the top of the page whilst you are improving the sources then other editors will know you are still working and are less likely to interfere. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 21:02, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

December 2024

Hello, john I don't ignore your edits or contact you for criticism purposes. I'm just curious. A lot of websites are cited as references on Wikipedia. There are adult websites that pretend to be informative, and a lot of illegal websites are cited, so why is only the website I post classified as spam? There are many more dangerous or illegal sites. I can link them to you if you want. I'd like to know why you're spamming only the references I post. Jkjk0914 (talk) 12:29, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jkjk0914: Your additions, and those of the two other accounts that recently joined, seem only to add links to thainight1.com to multiple articles. This is not acceptable. Existing links to other sites in articles is entirely irrelevant to your actions. --John B123 (talk) 20:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't keep adding, but I just quote multiple articles in different ways because it's rejected as spam for no reason, maybe it's against the guidelines.

I'm not just talking about the other site links in the article. Any site is allowed to refer to the site that contains the information related to the article. Have you seen all the links in the other articles? What's the exact reason why I spam only editing? Wouldn't that be the only way I can edit according to the guidelines? As you replied, I'm referring to different contents in different articles, and if you refer to other articles, there's not much difference in the links in other articles. Please give me the exact reason. Jkjk0914 (talk) 20:54, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm Asian, so I use English and my native language ID separately. I didn't randomly cite the same content in any article. I'm just referring to something different on the same website. I'm talking about fairness. For what reason can I not post it, but can I post it from another editor? Simply upload it with 2 IDs? Then I will delete 1 ID voluntarily. Is the content of the article insufficient? Then I will supplement the article. What other parts should I fix? Jkjk0914 (talk) 20:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll attach 1 link. Please explain the difference between the references to this article and my editing.

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nana_Plaza" References No.4 Jkjk0914 (talk) 21:05, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changing existing references that verify the information to references to thainight1.com multiple times can only be seen as trying to promote thainight1.com which is not allowed. Using multiple accounts to achieve the same objective is also not allowed. --John B123 (talk) 21:08, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My editing is spammed not just because I changed the existing reference. That existing reference is so old. I understand that you can't change the existing reference. I'll do that. In the other citations, I've added new references, and my skills are not yet professional, so I've just edited them myself to change them to Wikipedia policy, and if I post them once, I've done it repeatedly to get spammed. If two accounts are a problem, I'll only use one account in the future. I won't be randomly citing the same citation from multiple accounts to unrelated articles in the future. However, please make sure that the references related to the article are treated equally fair to other editors. Jkjk0914 (talk) 21:17, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The url of 'Interview With Paul Hayward, Owner Of Nana Plaza' has changed content since the link was added. I have changed the link to an archived copy of the original content. --John B123 (talk) 21:42, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. There are so many links like this right now.

I'm not trying to do this random link. I can't say that it doesn't help with publicity if it's mentioned on Wikipedia.

The link you just changed is also on the page that introduces Nanaplaza's business. I'm talking about prostate massages and have cited information that helps men. Other editing by me also matches what's written in the article, and if it helps, please be fair. You can block my ID and IP if I edit randomly

Hi LuluNana01. Does the Kingdom of Aurorasia actually exist? All I could find on Google were a couple of reddit posts and a draft on MicroWiki.

Two articles for review

Hi John,

I have created two new articles this week that have replaced entries that were previously deleted a long time ago. They are OC&C Strategy Consultants and Espressif Systems.

I am submitting these articles for your review. Imcdc Contact 06:41, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Imcdc, OC&C Strategy Consultants seems at best to be marginal on notability, ie SIGCOV in 2 independent sources. The FT would probably be acceptable, but includes lots of quotes from OC&C personnel so those parts can be excluded. As consultor.fr starts At OC&C, we are proud of our membership it doesn't seem independent. OC&C is a paying partner of Consultancy.eu/Consultancy.UK so these can't be considered independent. The Australian Financial Review article is behind a paywall so I can't see the content.

Looking at Espressif Systems, whilst the Business Times article is mainly about Teo Swee Ann, there seems to be enough in there about the company to qualify towards notability. The Chinese source is ok for a second source for notability. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 21:40, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For OC&C, there's an archive link for AFR here. It is more of a news piece.

I have also added to the article, information from the Vault guide here as a source. They do research on firms from various fields including consulting. I have extracted the non-promo info from it and added to article. Also added a few more lesser source info.

See if this works.

Edit:Consultor.fr calls itself an independent media for strategy consulting. Maybe we need a translator to help us on this but it seems odd that OC&C is considered a "member" of it especially the way it talks about its decline. Maybe what it is talking about is how its an associate like on this page. I see it more of a database since its a French consulting focused website, it would naturally have the data of every significant consulting firm as well as senior staff member. In which case OC&C being an associate in this context isn't special since every other significant consulting firm is one too. Imcdc Contact 00:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Imcdc, adding those sources is probably enough to demonstrate notability. Regards.--John B123 (talk) 07:01, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me!

Excuse me! I was JUST approving that the article of Huddinge shouldn't be redirected, so if you please leave Wikipedia alone! Thank you! 212.181.195.151 (talk) 20:23, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia policies, especially WP:VERIFY, which requires that all content is verifiable. This is satisfied by adding references to articles. Unreferenced articles are not acceptable. --John B123 (talk) 20:40, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the article REALLY needs help WITHOUT being redirected. 🤔 212.181.195.151 (talk) 20:42, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) 212.181.195.151, if you want to develop a page you can do it in your sandbox. Only once it meets the standards for publication should it be placed in mainspace. Cabayi (talk) 10:39, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question on Pensions & Investments status

Hi John,

Just want to check on something. For Pensions & Investments, is the page marked as reviewed in the curation toolbar? I have checked NPP and don't see anything but wanted to double check from the reviewer's point of view. Imcdc Contact 03:18, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Imcdc. The curation toolbar only appears on pages that are unreviewed or have recently been reviewed. When I look at the article the toolbar doesn't appear. Looking at the page history, it was moved to mainspace by user Robertsky, as they are autopatrolled the article would automatically be marked as reviewed. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 06:32, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking. Imcdc Contact 06:58, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sindkhed Raja Municipal Council

Dear John B123, I am spent my eight hours to create Sindkhed Raja Municipal Council Page and Type Info name wikipedian removed it it is unfair. I have added reference and citation in article also. Please approve my page it is request.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindkhed_Raja_Municipal_Council Swaraj Chaudhari (talk) 05:52, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Swaraj Chaudhari. The article needs a lead section and inline citations. Please see MOS:LEAD, Help:Your first article and Help:Referencing for beginners. In addition, the sections 'History', 'Demographics', 'Tourist Attractions' and 'Transportation' are about the town not the council so should be moved to the article Sindkhed Raja.

Ebrahim Bahmani

Speedy deletion nomination of Ebrahim Bahmani [edit] Hello Jonoubnews, I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ebrahim Bahmani for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles. If you don't want Ebrahim Bahmani to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks! Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer. John B123 (talk) 06:21, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Jonoubnews (talk) 14:36, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ebrahim Bahmani is a prominent figure in southern Iran, actively engaged in urban management, media, and regional politics. In addition to his work as a writer and journalist, he has held key leadership positions, including Chairman of the Islamic Council of Bandar Shirinoo, Chairman of the Islamic Council of Siraf District, and Vice Chairman of the Islamic Council of Kangan County.

He has played a significant role in addressing infrastructure challenges, advocating for social development, and improving governance in Bushehr Province. His contributions and influence have been widely covered in reputable national media outlets such as IRNA, Mehr News Agency, ISNA, and Fars News, demonstrating his public recognition and notability.

Furthermore, his selection as the "Top Youth of Bushehr Province" at the National Youth of the Year Festival further underscores his importance and credibility. Given the multiple reliable and independent sources confirming his impact, the deletion of this article under Criterion A7 is unwarranted.

A320 page

hi John,

first of all I wanted to tell you that the French page for this motorway didn't have any sources, so this one didn't too, as info about French spur routes are pretty scarce and hard to find, and as I use it sometimes I added everything I knew about it yesterday

plus it isn't the definitive page, it's going to be a page I'll regularly edit to add more info about this motorway that didn't have a page before yesterday, and it's also my first attempt at creating a page

kind regards,

Problème d'ICC ambulant Problème d'ICC ambulant (talk) 07:30, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Problème d'ICC ambulant. The various different language variants of Wikipedia don't share a common set of rules. Each language sets its own policies and guidelines so what is acceptable on one may not be on a different language version.

On the English Wikipedia there are basic principles that need to be adhered to. The first is WP:NOTABILITY, which in short means the topic of every article needs to be notable. This is defined as A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The second is WP:Verifiability, verifiability means that people are able to check that information comes from a reliable source. Its content is determined by published information rather than editors' beliefs, experiences, or previously unpublished ideas or information.

I hope this helps. You may want to move the article to WP:draftspace where you can work on it without hindrance and then when you feel it is ready move it back to mainspace. Regards --John B123 (talk) 20:17, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Francisco

Thank you for your hatnote for translation from the Spanish language page for Francisco Javier de Céspedes, but the reason I didn't translate the page in the first place is because they have so many facts on that page that I just can't verify from their sources yet. The Spanish language website seems to have a different approach to sources and citations. They have them, but they don't show up in-line. Guylaen (talk) 21:52, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guylaen. Firstly apologies for not getting back to you sooner, my life outside Wikipedia has been hectic lately. The English Wikipedia does seem to have higher standards for verification than other language versions. Also the requirements have changed over the years so even on the English version some older articles fall below the current standards. I assume the same is true on the Spanish version.

I can only commend you for not just translating the Spanish version unreferenced. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 20:25, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Storage class

Regarding Storage class, which you seem not to like. Yes it needs more references and such, but they don't appear instantly. In the mean time, you revert to a redirect to a section on the C programming language that has no references, and only describes C. Storage class is important for all languages, though some only offer one choice. And references are just as important in the case of C as any other language. Why no comment about no references there? thanks, Gah4 (talk) 19:20, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gah4 per WP:BURDEN, the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution. The citations need to be added at the same time as the content to satisfy WP:V.

You're right, C doesn't have inline references. Nor do many other older articles which were probably created before the current verifiability standards. The article was redirected as part of New Page Patrol, which tries to ensure new articles comply with the current minimum standards. Regards --John B123 (talk) 20:48, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The whole C syntax article has {{More footnotes needed}}, but the actual storage class specifiers section has none. I, and some others, were working on the Storage class article, and especially to find good references. They are not always easy to find, especially for the good ones. An imperfect article helps others who know, help find them. The redirect doesn't help, though. The idea of storage class should be independent of the C language, but you would never know that, if the only mention is for C. Gah4 (talk) 18:59, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gah4, there is a copy of the article at Draft:Storage class. Perhaps you and the other editors could develop the article there and when ready move it back to mainspace. (I'm quite happy to move it for you when you feel it is ready.) Regards. --John B123 (talk) 20:03, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I could, but probably won't. Someone else started that one about the time that I stated mine, and I did copy some from theirs. I don't remember ever working on anyone else's draft article. Seems that I now have 9804 edits since 2006, so am not a new and inexperienced editor. And I still don't know why a section of the C article with no references is better than one here with references. Gah4 (talk) 08:27, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ceriantipatharia

Hi, John B123.

A week ago you correctly marked Ceriantipatharia as a coral-stub. Since then, I have significantly improved the article. I believe that now deserves the stub template to be removed for the following reasons/criteria:

Text expanded as much as is sensible for this article in a general purpose encyclopedia. Meaningful references added. Historical notability made explicit. A clear candidate to apply the Croughton/London rule, in my opinion. Weaker criteria: a) about 490 words; b) two images added.

Could you please check it and tell me, for me to remove the template? Thanks. PMRonchi (talk) 14:07, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... for me to remove the template if you agree, or edit it more if necessary?

(that was what was meant :) PMRonchi (talk) 14:10, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pmronchi. You've improved the article well. I've removed the stub tag and also marked it as start class on the talk page. I think it's not far off a C class. Regards --John B123 (talk) 18:59, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Regards PMRonchi (talk) 21:08, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
