Hello SarahTHunter, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks to be completed. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been designed with you in mind and there is no reasonable time limit to complete the tasks - please be as specific as possible when asking questions, so that I know the best way to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working). Remember you are not under any obligation to complete this training and if you wish to discontinue with it at any time please just let me know. I hope you enjoy your time on this programme and wish you the very best of luck! Josey Wales Parley 22:37, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
How to use this page
[edit]This page will be built up over your time in the School, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might be just a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them.
Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
Communication
[edit]As Wikipedia users come from every corner of the globe, I should let you know that my time zone is Irish Summer Time (UTC+1) and the best time to get me would usually be 8pm-11pm my time, on weekdays. We should communicate only on this page and it's talk page in order to avoid having conversations and questions/answers all over the place.
Duration of tution
[edit]If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.
Abandoning tuition
[edit]In order to offer training to as many potential New Page Reviewers as possible, if the student hasn't edited this page or contacted me for a period of one month I will close the programme of training as presumed abandoned - however, you may at any time in next three months ask to resume where you left off. After four months of inactivity the page will be permanently closed.
Preliminary Task
[edit]Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge base around which most of the questions and tasks you do will revolve around.
Q. Please confirm under here when you have read the above and I will then post some questions for you to complete in your own time Josey Wales Parley 22:37, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

PART 1 Questions[edit]
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia?
Would step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tyre" be considered a notable topic in Wikipedia? Why or why not?
What are the differences between the WP:GNG and the subject-specific notability guidelines? How do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
Subject-specific notability guidelines[edit]1. Please categorize the subject-specific notability guidelines (listed at WP:SNG) into the following three categories
a. Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability[edit]b. Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required[edit]c. Even mix of the previous two categories[edit]2. Virtually all SNGs that provide additional notability criteria specify that these criteria may indicate that the subject meets notability guidelines. How would you interpret this caveat as a new page reviewer?
Scenarios[edit]For scenarios 1-6 review just based on "subject notability guidelines" (SNG) "alone" for sake of the exercise. Do not consider any sources or other policies. Please answer if the subject meets the SNG guidelines based on the given content below, and specify which notability criteria they meet or fail.
An editor creates an article about "2028 Summer Olympics" in 2024 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
A New York city based 2022 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
Joe Morrison is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper with Celtic FC's B team and has played some Scottish 5th tier matches
