NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018
Hello RexxS, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.
- Project news
- The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.
- As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
- There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks for more info to see if you can help out.
- Other
- A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.
- Moving to Draft and Page Mover
- Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
- If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
- Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
- The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
- The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

Your edit to Module:WikidataIB
Hey. So this edit resulted in some errors with the findLang function with Template:Infobox video game (particularly the |cabinet=
, |sound=
, and |display=
parameters). I reverted the edit for now, if you wouldn't mind reexamining it (I'm not familiar with Module editing, otherwise I would have given it a look over). Let me know if you have more questions about my revert. Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:19, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Favre1fan93: Thanks for spotting that and taking prompt action. You did exactly the right thing. I thought I was making some straightforward tidying to the code, but I've obviously made a typo somewhere in there. I'll take a longer look later tonight. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 17:24, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Sure thing. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:27, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Favre1fan93: the main issue was I typed a lower-case 'l' instead of a capital 'L'. Should be fixed now. --RexxS (talk) 21:28, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing any issues with articles using Infobox video game, so should be good then! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:48, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Scary for the little talkpage stalkers
Young dino, I've put a Komodo dragon at the top of my talkpage. It's cool with the white background, which I hope makes it look like he's kind of loose on my page, and liable to turn up behind you when you least expect it. So I don't want to make it a thumb, but I would still like him to say "Go ahead, post, make my day". Needless to say, it doesn't come out right (= centred underneath him) when I do it. Could you please fix? The quote marks aren't meant to be part of it. Bishonen | talk 20:43, 24 September 2018 (UTC).
- Hehe. Thank you. Naughty dragon, don't scare the young RexxS! Bishonen | talk 21:57, 24 September 2018 (UTC).
- Thank you for pressie mighty T-Rex. Komodobish (talk) 18:03, 25 September 2018 (UTC).
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Narky Blert (talk) 21:36, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

East Elbia and Wikidata
Hello RexxS. I remember you as somebody who knows about Wikidata. At great risk of blowing up the system, I attempted to change the linkage between English and German Wikipedias for the concept of East Elbia, which is the closest English for de:Ostelbien. I would like to make it so that, when you are looking at de:Ostelbien on the German wiki, you see the English equivalent East Elbia in the left hand column. Here's what I tried to do on Wikidata. My guess is it's not working because the East Elbia linkage was set up with de:Ostelbien (historisches Gebiet) which is now a redirect to de:Ostelbien. Also it's curious that I can't leave edit summaries in Wikidata. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks for any advice, EdJohnston (talk) 16:12, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Ed. That was a bit involved, so it was easier to do it than try to explain it. The problem was that there are two Wikidata entries: East Elbia (Q322218) and (Q2034940). The first one represents the historical region, and the second one represents a Wikipedia disambiguation page. Unfortunately the German article de:Ostelbien was linked to from the second one, so it could not be linked from the first. To fix that, I removed the link from the second and created it in the first one. I also restored the link in the first one to the en-wiki article East Elbia. The English and German articles now show the full bunch of inter-language links. I've also requested deletion of the entry for a non-existent dab page.
- Here's the sequence of edits. It's a pain not having edit summaries for simple edits (you get them if you do more complicated things), but that's the culture over there. Hope that all makes sense. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 16:39, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, it all looks good now. When time permits I should try to improve East Elbia which is not as good as the German version. EdJohnston (talk) 17:22, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

In an ideal world ... no, bear with your editor for just a minute ... there would be a format for scientific publishing online that was as much a standard as SI units are for the content. Likewise cataloguing publications would not be onerous, because part of the process would be to generate uniform metadata. Without claiming it could be the mythical free lunch, it might be reasonably be argued that sandwiches can be packaged much alike and have barcodes, whatever the fillings. The best on offer, to stretch the metaphor, is the meal kit option, in the form of XML. Where scientific papers are delivered as XML downloads, you get all the ingredients ready to cook. But have to prepare the actual meal of slow food yourself. See Scholarly HTML for a recent pass at heading off XML with HTML, in other words in the native language of the Web. The argument from real life is a traditional mixture of frictional forces, vested interests, and the classic irony of the principle of unripe time. On the other hand, discoverability actually diminishes with the prolific progress of science publishing. No, it really doesn't scale. Wikimedia as movement can do something in such cases. We know from open access, we grok the Web, we have our own horse in the HTML race, we have Wikidata and WikiJournal, and we have the chops to act.

I tried but don't quite get it....
I looked at the templates to transclude files as random slideshow, but since the images are on Commons, I don't quite understand if I'm supposed to input the urls for "First page | section 1 = section name" or if I'm supposed to create new pages in my enWP user space. I want the images to show up centered in a pretty placeholder (box) where I currently have User_talk:Atsme#Pictures. The source is my Commons user page and the following sections: #Featured_pictures, #Underwater Pictures, #Birds, #Landscapes, and #Flowers, plants, weeds. Will the pictures change automatically with each refresh or is it necessary for the viewer to click on the arrows? Thank you for all your help, RexxS. Atsme✍🏻📧 14:58, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Atsme, have a look at Module:Carousel/Atsme. It's just a list of filenames for you to edit. I used the ones from c:User:Atsme#Featured pictures to get you started. You should add all the other filenames that you want (in the order that you want). I've changed the placeholder in User talk:Atsme#Pictures to use the module as a demonstration for you. The picture will move on to the next one every 24 hours (86400 seconds).
- The only outstanding question is whether you want individual captions or are you content with a generic caption or message? If you want individual captions, you'll have to write them, of course. Let me know, --RexxS (talk) 23:22, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, WOW!! Thank you, RexxS - I'd like to have individual captions - for example, the caption for the trupial picture up there now would read "Venezuelan troupial (Icterus icterus) eating the flower of a cactus (Pilosocereus lanuginosus) on the island of Bonaire." Where/how do I add the captions? Atsme✍🏻📧 00:59, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Modify my quetion - I found where to add it on my TP, but is there a way to add captions to the pictures before they end up on the TP?? Atsme✍🏻📧 01:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- If we write "the-filename | the-caption" into each line of Module:Carousel/Atsme, the module will supply both of them to your User talk:Atsme#Pictures. I've done the troupial for you as an example, so all you need do is write the captions you want for each picture in the module. --RexxS (talk) 03:01, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Perfect!! Thank you again...just what I wanted. Atsme✍🏻📧 04:10, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, RexxS - how do I control image size - for example, instead of 800px, reduce it to 400px? Atsme✍🏻📧 02:13, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Atsme: You can put as much of the image syntax as you want into the module, but you then have to leave it out of the call on your page. So you can have an image size like
|upright=2
, or|upright=2.5
, etc. in every one of the images in the module (so you can have different images with different sizes) or you can have them all the same size by putting the sizing in the call on the page where you want to display the image (as it is now). When you added| upright=1.25 | center | thumb
in your test of the module, it would have worked if you'd taken the corresponding parameters out of the[[File:{{#invoke: ... etc.
on User_talk:Atsme#Pictures. --RexxS (talk) 14:09, 2 October 2018 (UTC)- Ok, to confirm - if I input individual image syntax for each photo in the module, the result on my page will be the respective sizes but if I input it on page itself, all images will be that size? I actually want all images to be the smaller size so is there a downside I’m not seeing? Atsme✍🏻📧 14:37, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Atsme: Yes, that is how it works. Please don't use px for images sizes, though. It's more accessible-friendly to use the
|upright=
parameter – there's an explanation at MOS:IMGSIZE. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 15:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

COI tag removal, Heat-not-burn tobacco product page
Hi RexxS, I've posted a comment last week in response to a section you created. My comment is regarding the lack of discussion about the COI tag on the Heat-not-burn tobacco product talk page, and would appreciate your input on the topic - when you have a chance. Thanks! Sarah at PMI (talk) 08:56, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Sarah at PMI: It looks like QuackGuru has removed the tag, so the specific issue appears resolved. In general terms, though, I think it is important to use the tags for the purpose for which they were intended – to generate discussion at the talk page in order to improve the article. If a tag is not doing that job, then it needs to be removed. --RexxS (talk) 13:41, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, good timing I guess. I completely agree, thank you for your thoughts. Cheers, Sarah at PMI (talk) 13:46, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Time for IR and value and desire
Can you please take a look at the image review at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht, BWV 134a/archive1. (Will I ever learn about these liceneses?) I began alt text, but there's room for improvement. - Today, it's a composer's birthday who wrote an opera as a parable the desire for love and happiness in anachronistic times, and we had the usual little difference in value, appearance vs. accessibiity. I will expand, please watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
ANDI International
RexxS, I work for Ed Betts at ANDI HQ I was instructed to make those changes by him, American Nitrox Divers Association was the name of the company a long time ago it is now known as ANDI International.Daveandi (talk) 20:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Daveandi: Then tell Ed that he needs to find a reliable source for the changes he wants you to make. If you're not sure what a reliable source is, then you'll have to read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, sorry. I understand about the name change and I don't object to that. I do object to history being re-written, though. We all know Dick and Ed founded the company together back in '88, see History of ANDI. Perhaps you can make your edits a little bit at a time to make it easier for them to be reviewed? --RexxS (talk) 20:59, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
Rexxx, are you following this? Time for the Defender of the Data to chip in, perhaps? Johnbod (talk) 14:57, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- I haven't been following it, John, so thanks for the heads-up. There's not much to defend really; we still have to exclude by default any Wikidata statement that's only sourced to some Wikipedia or other. I'm generally quite sympathetic to concerns about lack of sourcing in Wikidata (still running at around 40%, I think) and I'm happy to see discussions about how to improve that, or at least circumvent the issues. --RexxS (talk) 16:07, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018

Hello RexxS, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- Backlog
As of 21 October 2018[update], there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.
- Community Wishlist Proposal
- There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
- Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!
- Project updates
- ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
- There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.
- New scripts
- User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js(info) — A new script created for quickly placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

Keeping the hominy
Hey, Rexx - there’s a silly thread over at AN/I (Ad hominem at homony) with a multiple image display - you can’t miss it. I tried to fix the images into neat rows but my fix didn’t go as planned. I can’t see squat on this iPad. Can you take a look at it, and maybe fix it so the rows fit inside the margins of the page and the images are closer to the same size? Atsme✍🏻📧 03:03, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Atsme: Sorry, I've been out all day at https://www.conf.owlteh.org/ so I didn't get a chance to see the images until just. Looks like somebody has tidied them up now. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 22:03, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Around 2.7 million Wikidata items have an illustrative image. These files, you might say, are Wikimedia's stock images, and if the number is large, it is still only 5% or so of items that have one. All such images are taken from Wikimedia Commons, which has 50 million media files. One key issue is how to expand the stock. Indeed, there is a tool. WD-FIST exploits the fact that each Wikipedia is differently illustrated, mostly with images from Commons but also with fair use images. An item that has sitelinks but no illustrative image can be tested to see if the linked wikis have a suitable one. This works well for a volunteer who wants to add images at a reasonable scale, and a small amount of SPARQL knowledge goes a long way in producing checklists. It should be noted, though, that there are currently 53 Wikidata properties that link to Commons, of which P18 for the basic image is just one. WD-FIST prompts the user to add signatures, plaques, pictures of graves and so on. There are a couple of hundred monograms, mostly of historical figures, and this query allows you to view all of them. commons:Category:Monograms and its subcategories provide rich scope for adding more. And so it is generally. The list of properties linking to Commons does contain a few that concern video and audio files, and rather more for maps. But it contains gems such as P3451 for "nighttime view". Over 1000 of those on Wikidata, but as for so much else, there could be yet more. Go on. Today is Wikidata's birthday. An illustrative image is always an acceptable gift, so why not add one? You can follow these easy steps: (i) log in at https://tools.wmflabs.org/widar/, (ii) paste the Petscan ID 6263583 into https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/ and click run, and (iii) just add cake.

Request your opinion on heat not burn page
Hi RexxS. A couple of weeks ago you shared some quick insights on the heat not burn talk page, and I hope you'd be willing to come back and provide an independent opinion on a couple of sticking points still going on there now. The discussion has stalled for the past week, and maybe your fresh take on this and your experience with WikiProject Med’s customs/requirements will help take the article out of its current, sorry state.
In this discussion, a COI tag and undue weight tag that have been already removed several times by other editors are repeatedly being reapplied for the sole reason that my input has been taken into consideration. You've posted once already on this, but the conversation has since stalled without resolution. As you can see across the talk page, my suggestions have already been thoroughly discussed and verified before being accepted: to be honest, I’m at a bit of a loss as to what we’re supposed to do next (except, of course, not provide input, but then that defeats the purpose of asking COI editors to request edits in the first place).
The second topic I would appreciate your opinion on is the increased emphasis in this article over the past few days on pyrolysis, smoke, and charring. This has resulted in a renaming of the article, several additions of primary source research references, and an image of a charred pizza to emphasize the point. I do think these edits/comments are made in good faith, but also can’t help feel they were made in part to retaliate for my continued preference for the term aerosol rather than smoke (it’s only my own feeling. Your opinion is, again, welcome). Thank you, Sarah at PMI (talk) 09:06, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Question
I keep forgetting what subpages I have so I was wondering if there's a shortcut or easier way to find them? I can remember User:Atsme/Banners, (it also comes up in a list when I enter User:Atsme/ in the search bar), but I was wanting to add more photos to my carousel and can't remember the page name to add them. Atsme✍🏻📧 04:07, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Atsme: Special:PrefixIndex/User:Atsme/. Special:AllPages works similarly but goes on and on and on... You can also transclude either of them--though there is some natural limit--if you would prefer not to go the page to see. (That code is
{{Special:PrefixIndex/User:Atsme/}}
.) --Izno (talk) 05:26, 15 November 2018 (UTC)- Kewl...thank you, Izno - I can use that info in the future. Unfortunately, I did not see the carousel. I'll try the editor interaction tool to locate the info Rex gave me earlier. It might be a subpage of my TP. Atsme✍🏻📧 05:37, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Izno - there also a link near the bottom of everybody's contributions page. Your carousel, Atsme, is at Module:Carousel/Atsme. All the individual sets of images are at subpages of the main module. Have fun! --RexxS (talk) 14:20, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thx Rex - I found it earlier via the editor interaction tool. 😁 You’d think by now I would know this stuff but learning WP is an infinite task and for me, it’s more like Groundhog Day
- Atsme, I usually just click on 'Page information' in the tool bar (LHS), then on 'Number of subpages of this page', which opens Special:All pages with prefix (whatever page you started from). It is three clicks, but requires no memorising of obscure stuff, just that it is accessible through one of the sidebar links. Cheers, · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 11:36, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018
Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. |
Hello RexxS,
- Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
- Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
- If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
- We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
- With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Morning RexxS - Should you have time, I wonder if you'd take a look at the above. It's currently at FAC, here, [1], and I think it's a fantastic piece of work. An editor's raised a concern regarding the accessibility of the article/its images on mobile devices. I've read it on my iPhone/iPad and it looks ok to me but any advice on improving the layout/sizing of the images would be much appreciated. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 07:25, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
