Draft help
[edit]Hi. I've noticed that you seem to have problems with almost all the pages you have created. I am working with a group of editors to improve the way new users are informed about Wikipedia's rules and requirements for new articles. We are aware that not all the essential help pages are easy to find, and that many of them are difficult to understand. Help us to help you by letting me know on my talk page if and why you have missed all the help pages that are currently in use.

'Your first article': redrafted. Reduced from 40 minutes reading time to just over. 6 minutes. Three if the specific problem articles are sportspeople, contemporary music, and Bollywood. These are articles driven by fans. Interesting stats for sports bios here

New Wizard RfC
[edit]14 October 2017, 26 respondents. No opposition. Passed as unanimous. [4] That was exactly 5 years ago almost to the day (17 October 2022). A lot has happened since then and there has been a huge increase in in inappropriate or very poor new articles that clearly should be forced through the Wizard. The Wizard needs bringing up to date withiut it becoming a wall of text. Suggested: A more attractive design (border, page colour). Re-adding the former progress tabs. Last step offering a choice of thematic page templates. see also Wikipedia:Article wizard/version1/Additional.
On AfC
[edit]AfC has nothing to do with any NPP backlog drives. Such drives may obviously cause a temporary slight increase in the number of articles moved to Draft. Draftification is not AfC and does not oblige an article creator to avail of the AfC process. Draftification is neverthelss a standard procedure that can be used by New Page Reviewers as and when they consider appropriate. There is no shame in having one's article draftified. Quite to the contrary in fact, it can be a far more friendly process that having an article marched immediately to AfD or PRODed, and if/when a draft is submitted to AfC, a lot of help might be forthcoming - which is not in the remit of NPP. NPP also has deadlines - AfC does not.

I am grateful to Rentier who understands my explanations and who also expresses the same concerns. Every single paid edit or article creation is spam. Spam in some form or another. Articles don't have to be written in adspeak or be full of links to commercial sites to be spam. Any person or entity that benefits in any way from a presence in Wikipedia is a spammer. Paid editors are spam brokers. They are unscrupulous and deceitful.[1] They are like the people on the sidewalk who take pennies out of a bind man's begging bowl. We do not allow spam,[2][3][4] and most of the paid articles we identify are spam, spam, spam, and spam, and get deleted as spam. Moreover, there probably isn't a paid editor, declared or otherwise, who hasn't got a drawer full of dirty socks. Look At COIN and SPI just to see what we we are up against. One or two declared paid editors is not going to reduce that massive work load (all done free of charge), so why should we encourage them?
With anything up to $2,000 (or more) being offered for an article, paid 'editors' are not going to be deterred by honesty and ethics, and they won't be affected by the Wizard either. They take their time to study our rules, notability, and MoS scrupulously, They will calmly wait 4 days, rack up 10 insignificant edits and then dump their insidious junk in one edit when they think we least expect it and probably get WP:BOGOF too. Some of them might use their other Reviewer account to patrol it, and their OTRS account (diffs available) to get round any copyright for images. I haven't fought for six long years and spent 1000s of my $$ to get ACTRIAL launched so that we can advertise paid editing in the Wizard where all the new users now have to go. If users are determined to encourage it, all they need to do is launch a watchlist notice: Did you know? You can now earn mega bucks by writing articles to help companies sell their wares.

Getting things done
[edit]All those years ago 'Page Triage' was proposed by the WMF as a consolation prize for so rudely denying the massive consensus for ACTRIAL, I worked closely with them during its development - but from the aspect of a patroler and not as a software developer. Fast forward to 2022: we now have ACTRIAL/AQREQ, and we have a special user group of (hopefully) experienced New Page Reviewers, and we finally have a much enhanced curation system. But the problems of patrolling persist and despite having over 750 patrollers (of whom half have never made a patrol), today's backlog stands at around 12,000 articles.
The importance of the process of reviewing new pages accurately has since been better understood by both the community and the WMF due to the exposure of Orange Moody and the discovery how deep rooted COI and paid editing actually is among certain editors who willfully exploit our free work for financial reward and abuse our sockpuppet policies. We now also have hundreds more Wikimedia projects and hundreds more staff managing it all.
Back in the day, it was considered that Page Triage should be Wiki agnostic. But here we are now with hundreds of Wikipedias going to need something like it sooner or later, which means this is much bigger than a wishlist item. I locked horns for two years with Danny Horn who steadfastly insisted that such an important process as NPR should nevertheless stand in line with every one else and hold out its Xmas begging bowl.
We all know by now that the control over new content is faced with new and more subtle challenges, not least of all the disinterest in patrolling due to the totally changed profile of the new articles that are now submitted. This leaves the community with too few capable and competent people at NPP. We therefore have to rely increasingly on ORES, filters and other forms of artificial intelligence to get the work done. This will obviously require a bigger and dedicated team of devs for which I have been advocating for a long time.
Maybe its time to look at Page Triage as a sunk cost, keep the pretty and user friendly interfaces and their highly useful functions, but rewrite the entire code from the ground up - more than enough funds are available.

Pagesizes
[edit]A page of about 10,000 words takes between 30 and 40 minutes to read at average speed, which is close to the attention span of most readers.[ Understanding of standard texts at average reading speed is around 65%. At 10,000 words (50 kB and above) it may be beneficial to move some sections to other articles and replace them with summaries per Wikipedia:Summary style.
| Readable prose size | What to do |
|---|---|
| > 100 kB | Almost certainly should be divided |
| > 60 kB | Probably should be divided (although the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading material) |
| > 50 kB | May need to be divided (likelihood goes up with size) |
| < 40 kB | Length alone does not justify division |
| < 1 kB | If an article or list has remained this size for over a couple of months, consider combining it with a related page. Alternatively, the article could be expanded; see Wikipedia:Stub. |
