Getting ahead of myselfFor page Prensal I removed the incorrect redirect, and I saved the page, and was then editing the page with new data (now live). You then undid my remove before I submitted the second edits. I see that I should have edited the new data in first, then removed the redirect - I was getting ahead of myself. Sorry about that.

British peerage titles.Usage of solely British peerage titles is a form of undue weight. When it comes to British scientists, the epitheton constans Sir is treated as almost a first name, repeated even in the same sentence. I think it should be removed in articles that are scientific in nature, and the titles merely obfuscate the subject at hand. Also, notice how non-British peers never seem to have these decorations when merely linked to. --Eykeklos Omnia (talk) 11:55, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
Stop, the Sub Urban page does not need to be reversed.Do not revert the page Sub Urban is a page based on a singer, it is no longer redialing. The page is not used. So, there is no rule prohibiting the use of the page. In addition to the page being refused in Draft, it was by reference to Genius that it is a licensed website.

Hello, I created a stub for the song "Slide" but you reverted my edit. I really don't understand why you decided to do this. This song is H.E.R.'s highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 and it also charted in plenty of other charts. A lot of articles were published about this song, both about the original version and the remix. It clearly meets the criteria for songs notability. So I would like you to explain why you decided to revert the creation of the stub because I really don't understand. Mirliz (talk) 14:35, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020![]() Hello Polyamorph,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline. Six Month Queue Data: Today – 7095 Low – 4991 High – 7095 To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here 16:08, 13 February 2020 (UTC) Andrew GarciaHi - just curious what more you think needs to be displayed for Garcia's notability to be established. It seems to me that once an artist has released multiple EPs (one of which was written up about in Billboard), been nominated for a Streamy Award, and been featured on a Billboard charting single, then that should be enough to display notability. --Jpcase (talk) 16:52, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Transmission fluidHi, I see you undid my redirects and whatnot for the article on transmission fluid, reverting them to the article on hydraulic fluid. Can I ask why? Hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid are not the same thing, and I made this clear in the article I wrote. Am wondering if this was just a knee-jerk reversion or if there was some reasoning behind it (in which case, I ask, what was it?). Thanks! 148.129.71.189 (talk) 13:03, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Voiceplay page under constructionHi, I see you have reverted the Voiceplay page to redirect to the singoff page. I was making this page to actually have info about Voiceplay.

Export ControlExport control - I was working on this page since it's an important topic and in the news, and it's different to Trade Barriers to which the page was redirected. There were a couple of reversions, getting rid of my work. I replaced it, given that this is an important issue. It would appear that you have then deleted the page along with the history, then re-created the page, destroying the history and my work. This is clearly deleterious behaviour. Export control is different to Export, indeed there are separate professional bodies for the two disciplines. Please can you explain your actions? And please can you restore the work? I mean, it's not pleasant to have work deleted. Given that you deleted the talk page too, I have started the process under the dispute resolution mechanism. 185.176.76.225 (talk) 09:58, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Deadnaming - any reason not to be expanded and standalone?In January you set up a redirect from the Deadnaming page I was just starting to write [1]. I had previously sought input from editors at Transphobia and at least one thought it was a fine idea. Stuff with the 'Rona was starting to get hectic at that point so I was spending less time on here, but I'd like to properly write the page. There are enough sources to warrant a standalone, and it will be possible to offer sufficient context within the page itself. I don't see a lack of context as the issue. Is there any particular reason we should not have this page? Cleopatran Apocalypse (talk) 13:12, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020![]() Hello Polyamorph,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Male is not the default. New Page Patrol December Newsletter![]() Hello Polyamorph,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
![]() ![]()
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.
