User talk:EvergreenFir

October 2022

Vidpro23 has removed most content on the List of Fremantle productions and List of MGM Television programs articles. I reverted his edits because his edits were unexplained removal of content, so could you block that user? 82.37.139.114 (talk) 12:15, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

That user called Vidpro23 is still added unsourced content on the same two articles. I gave him warnings but keeps doing it all over so could you please block him for this? 213.107.48.144 (talk) 19:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello EvergreenFir,

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.

NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022

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!

Fundamelists? EvergreenFir isn't a human - they're obviously three martians in a trenchcoat. We've been played all along... damn played!! WannurSyafiqah74 (talk) 10:58, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

I have no idea if this is the same person who sent me a message about "Martians", but at least their nonsense was deleted. P.S.: cannot believe someone who assumed EvergreenFir was a unification church fundamelists [sic] cannot even tell I was joking. WannurSyafiqah74 (talk) 15:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

ROGD

I wanted to add a reference to the source discussed on the Talk page, however the article is protected. What are my options? Do I need to establish an account? Or can i aska fellow editor for help? Not sure what the protocol is.... 2600:1012:B024:5659:85D5:10BE:9E8F:3A7B (talk) 22:46, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

You can make an WP:EDITREQUEST on the talk page. Making an account may help, but WP:SEMI-protected articles require WP:CONFIRMED accounts to edit. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:50, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
