Apologies
[edit]Apologies. I have no idea either! I must have had more than one page open, and hit the wrong one. I've not the slightest quibble w/your edit, in terms of vandalism or otherwise.--Epeefleche (talk) 15:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Gary Davies (disambiguation)
[edit]Sorry I didn't put any sort of link on the American TV and film actor Gary Lee Davis, who shares his name with a notorious executed American rapist and murderer. I wanted to disambiguate the two after coming across the actor Davis' name in a WP article, and checking him out. I know he doesn't have a page to link to, but I'm hoping the IMDB link is okay. Let me know if there's a problem with it :> Doc9871 (talk) 11:55, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- Dang... good to know. So no name can be put on a disambig list if there's no WP link? The only option is to create a page for the subject? I'm kinda new to disambiguation, and any advice you can give would be appreciated... Doc9871 (talk) 12:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm afraid that external links aren't meant to be on disambiguation pages; it's essentially an index for WP articles. Ichecked to see if the actor is linked in any articles as 'Gary Lee Davis' but he doesn't seem to be. Do you remember which WP article you came across the actor on? If it is a significant mention, then you could add a redlink on the article, perhaps to [Gary Lee Davis (actor)]? Once he is redlinked in an article where he has a significant mention, then it's a valid addition to the disambiguation page. Also if you think this person meets the notability criteria at WP:Notability (people)#Creative professionals, then create a short article on him, and then he can be added. Ihope this makes sense. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 12:45, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- He's mentioned in Viva Knievel!, his first major film role. I'll redlink his name there in the article... Doc9871 (talk) 12:50, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- Wait a second... I can't redlink him because there's the murderer of the exact same name already with a page! This is why I started this to begin with. As I surmised, a stub article is the only way to go (sigh...).. Doc9871 (talk) 12:54, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hehee - sorry. I see what you meant, and redlinked it. Sometimes I type before I act responsibly... Doc9871 (talk) 13:04, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Okay, so now I've added WP links to the entry. I remind you that "Gary Davis of Davis Motor Car", is listed with "Gary Davis" unlinked, but a WP article linked in his description. I suspect there should be no more problem here (I really don't like my edits reverted, but it always helps me learn). Cheers... Doc9871 (talk) 13:58, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, none of us like to be reverted when we're trying hard, but it usually makes WP better :)! It's now a good entry, and it'll be easier for someone to create an article on him. Well done! Boleyn (talk) 17:07, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, Boleyn :> Happy holidays ! Doc9871 (talk) 18:45, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

You have addressed me in German - which you have no reason to think I speak - and given no indication of which page you are talking about. I assume, from checking your recent contributions, that it is to do with you blanking the page at the redirect Jean Aubert, which was quickly reverted by someone else and I have now reverted again. If you are asking for the reason I changed this to a redirect, I gave the reason in the edit summary, with a link to the guidelines at MOS:DAB; it's pretty clear. If an article is created on another Jean Aubert, then this page would make a good disambiguation page, but should not be blanked - I have no idea what you were trying to achieve with that. Merry Christmas, Boleyn2 (talk) 23:29, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Sehr geehrter Herr Boleyn,
you understood quite clearly what I said, as you found out that the article of the said person was redirected to the article of another person. So why blaming me to use the wrong language (you could learn german easily - as english is nothing else but a german dialect) and still do the wrong "redirection"??
Frohe Weihnachten
Motorbiker —Preceding unsigned comment added by Motorbiker (talk • contribs) 23:52, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
That made little sense either - a strange way to spend Christmas Day, complaining about other editors! Anyway, I am still not clear what you want. I can only repeat that if you feel another Jean Aubert should have an article, then create the article, at something like [Jean Aubert the Younger] and then turn Jean Aubert into a disambiguation page. I'm only guessing that's your issue - as you blanked the page, I don't really know. I don't feel I have anything further to say on the matter. Boleyn2 (talk) 11:14, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello again,
also gut, wenn es unbedingt sein muss schreibe ich eben einen Artikel über den richtigen Menschen, damit englischsprachige Leser nicht falsche Dinge lesen müssen.
Herzliche Grüße und ein schönes neues Jahr

- My dear Boleyn,
now I do understand the different meanings in the English language between 'productive', 'nonproductive' and counterproductive'!

My point about redlinks on disambiguation pages is not that they're not valid but that they may not be valid, which is why they need some sort of establishing information. Joseph Jackson (Australian politician) could be anyone. You may know who he is, but I don't and neither will millions of other people. He could be completely non-notable (e.g. a member of a small town council). I have removed many such redlinks from disambiguation lists that are blatantly non-notable and will never have a valid article written about them. In addition, without some establishing information redlinks are utterly useless on disambiguation pages. What is the value of adding Joseph Jackson (Australian politician) without any further information? It adds nothing to the disambiguation page whatsoever, whereas if you specify that he is a member of the New South Wales State Legislative Assembly that at least gives the reader some idea of why he is notable and who he might be. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:21, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
The (limited) value it adds is that someone looking for either of these could click on 'What links here' and see which articles mention him. I did of course check that there were links in articles before I restored them. They should have a bluelink with them, but it's better to have the job half-done than not at all. MOS:DABRL seems quite clear to me that these redlinks were valid, and it would have been as easy for you to add a relevant blue link as to delete them from the dab. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 18:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- The point is that I didn't know who they were, so couldn't really add a bluelink. It's incumbent upon the person who adds them to add the relevant information. Disambiguation pages aren't just a random assortment of information. You'll notice that the example redlink on MOS:DABRL does give further information. I quote [bolding mine]: "Red links should not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information. The linked article should contain some meaningful information about the term." -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:33, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, they shouldn't be the only link on a line, but adding the blue link is more constructive than simply deleting. I don't add redlinks to dabs, but they are clearly valid.
- I disagree. I don't think it is incumbent upon another editor to do the work that the original adder clearly couldn't be bothered to do. There is far too much rubbish on Wikipedia that is added by vandals, friends, people with a POV to push etc. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to delete redlinks without further info from disambiguation lists. After all, these could have been complete nobodies. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:59, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Daniel Gray
[edit]Thank you for all your help with the Sandbox. Sorry about any trouble and I'll apologize for anything on the page that any user said that hurt your feelings. I didn't want to create the article to start a fight or debate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by YouCalledMeBeautiful (talk • contribs) 14:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
That's fine, you have nothing to apologise for. You created a well-written article in good faith - you weren't to know that the subject didn't meet the guidelines. WP:MUSIC is quite a hard guideline for a singer to meet. It certainly developed into an argument - I've never seen a deletion discussion like it, but at least it's sorted now. I hope you continue to edit existing articles and create new ones. Best wishes, Boleyn3 (talk) 14:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
You PRODded this article on 23 Dec, and it was deleted: an IP user has requested undeletion, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and this is to notify you in case you wish to take it to AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:40, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Removal of Nick Jones from Disambiguation Page
[edit]Hello
I am writing an article on the entrepreneur Nick Jones who owns Babington House and is Managing Director and major shareholder of Soho House (club). I have no doubt from my research so far that his notability can easily be demonstrated. I have looked at the links you quoted when reverting my addition of this person's name to the disambiguation page but am not clear how they are relevant.
Could you please clarify? As always I wish to follow Wikipedia policy and am happy to learn if I make mistakes or misunderstand guidance.
Thanks
Peteinterpol (talk) 19:02, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Since writing the above, I have looked at the guidance and can see the problem, which I have corrected on the Nick Jones disambig page. Hope this is OK now.
Thanks, I changed links in both articles to include the redlink. I would have done this in the first palce, but I was unsure whether adding a redlink was appropriate, as they should be notable enough for an article of their own for a redlink to be added. However, now they're there, I think the entry is fine on the dab. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 19:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for your help. Peteinterpol (talk) 19:52, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Service awards proposal
[edit]AfD of Leopold Frankenberger, Jr.
[edit]I note that your AfD nomination of Leopold Frankenberger, Jr. recommends redirect to Alois Hitler rather than deletion. I would support a redirect, but I think that AfD is likely to attract the same sort of rescuers seen at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leopold Frankenberger, Sr. What would you think of withdrawing the AfD nomination and proposing redirect on the talk page or at WP:Proposed mergers? Cnilep (talk) 20:17, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I'll withdraw the AfD for the moment, but I'm not going to be online much over the next few days so I'll check back then to see if anyone has proposed a redirect, as I'm unsure how to do it myself. Best wishes, Boleyn3 (talk) 21:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Jonathan King
[edit]I've just read Jonathan King's biography 65 My Life So Far and have made changes on his article based on the photographic evidence included therein - not on the text but on cuttings and clippings reproduced. As you are a recent editor could you check and see they are acceptable? I've explained each in Talk. I'm not a fan but the same age and feel Wikipedia should reflect the facts and not bias either for or against him.Aliceinsprings (talk) 09:11, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
It looks like a good article and very well-referenced. Thanks for adding to it. Best wishes, Boleyn3 (talk) 10:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Boleyn, the page has only just been started, so I hope you'll give it a chance to develop. The names are correct as I wrote them, in the sense that there were several spellings of his name. Andre was not a mistake. I hope all the page moves, and whatever else, can be undone. SlimVirgin TALK contribs 20:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm quite happy to give it a chance, although I can't see how he can meet WP:BIO. What should the name be? Per the Talk pg, I applied for it to be move to Andre Clare Neilson - is that correct? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Can you explain what's going on here, please? I came online today to see you and another editor had moved pages, removed redirects, "corrected" my spelling, changed names, added names etc, though what I wrote yesterday was correct, so far as I can tell from the sources. The child was given an unfortunate name, which even his family didn't learn how to spell, resulting in multiple names and multiple spellings, a confusion that was sadly reflective of his life. I created redirects for them, and over the course of the next few days and weeks will try to establish what the most common name was, and what name he was buried as. All I know for now is that a member of his family said he was named Clare Andrea Neilson at birth, but came to be known as Andy.
- What concerns me is that you see an experienced editor doing this, yet you immediately assume she can't spell and has no clue what she's doing. :) A brief note would have been better than the prodding, reverting, and page moves. SlimVirgin TALK contribs 21:24, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I find that a bit offensive - I didn't 'immediately assume' you couldn't spell, an editor posted on the Talk page that they were trying to move the page and didn't know how to, so I tried to help out. I haven't changed any information in the article, so you would need to check with that person. As for the prod, unless it's been drastically improved since I last saw it, this article gives no evidence of notability. I would usually consider it a candidate for speedy deletion, but I checked and saw that it was very new and that you were an experienced editor, so I applied a prod and let you know - this gave you the options of either removing it, or using the week or so the prod lasts to improve the article. Boleyn (talk) 22:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Moinuddin, Rashid al-Din etc.
[edit]You may remember we had a bit of a disagreeement about Rashid al-Din about three weeks ago, and you've just made an edit to Moinuddin querying the category I put there. As you may have realised this all arises from a programme of disambiguation on a set of muslim names which is effectively indexed at ad-Din. I appreciate your interest and expertise in dab pages, and I would value your opinion on the structures I've been creating, but could I ask you to discuss it properly on talk pages, rather than just terse sentences in edit summaries. I'm moving towards the end of what I set out to do, so this is a good time for me to review it all. I want above all to have something there which is accurate, comprehensive and user-friendly, and also to fit in with wikipedia policy and guidelines (bearing in mind that WP:IAR is one of them). Thanks. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 22:41, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
We did disucss this, and although I didn't agree with you, I let it go as I respected your work and could see what you were trying to achieve. All I did to Moinuddin was basically ask for a second opinion, as it's an unusual page. Does it deserve its unreferenced tag as it's a dab, or is it a mixture and so should have references? I don't see that 'Is this hndis?' is a terse edit summary either; I wasn't even expressing the opinion that it was wrong. I don't see that this edit was a problem, if you've looked at the page and think the category's fine and the refs tag's fine, then just remove the cu tag. Boleyn3 (talk) 08:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
- Please don't misunderstand me; I'm not offended by your interest, and when I said "I would value your opinion", I mean it. The Moinuddin page is a mixture, and I think it should have references. I'm trying to find a suitable one. I intend to add a bit more information at the top of some of the other pages we're talking about, so they will become more mixed, and also need references if I can find them. I'm very relaxed about what category or categories to use, so if you have any suggestions please let me know. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 12:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
'nn'
[edit]If one is going to be making edits, then one should not be using mysterious abbreviations to document them. Fair enough?
Varlaam (talk) 20:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
What's 'mysterious' to some is standard to others. I don't think there's any reason to contact an editor to complain about such a little thing - your energy could be put to better use. Boleyn3 (talk) 20:42, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
- An editor? You have 19k edits. I have more. So what?
- It is exactly that sort of flippant attitude that one is supposed to strive to avoid.
- It is conventional for retrofits of your type to provide a link in the description line which defines what you are doing, so that editors like myself do not simply revert your edits because they are destructive.
- Varlaam (talk) 23:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
I see from your Talk page that you like to make personal attacks, which is a shame. Boleyn (talk) 23:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, personal attacks on vandals. Are you in the vandal camp? I thought you were an editor.
- I can see that you prefer to avoid the matter at hand.
- Retrofits pass through my pages regularly. They are not mysterious.
- Are you going to provide a definition for 'nn' or are you going to persist in this childish behaviour?
- Why don't we simply threaten to impose blocks on one another?
- What does 'nn' mean, if you would be so kind?
- Thank you in advance, Varlaam (talk) 23:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
- Here's an example:
- R'n'B (talk | contribs) (Fix links to disambiguation page Malaya)
- and R'n'B has 3 links built into that string of text.
- Elegant, wouldn't you say?

Should we remove?
[edit]Hi, Boleyn. You see that there are still no citations included with the article, 2005–06 in Australian soccer. That's because I can't find any deaths or retirements in 2005 to 2006 in Australian soccer which should include those references.
I can probably understand why these pages were not yet created after about 12 years since 2005. I think we should just include the template of speedy deletion, because there are still no citations I can find. Or you could have a try at looking for some.

- Hi, FastCube, thanks for your message. Where did you get the information you added to the article? I don't think this is a candidate for deletion, but it does need its sources clear. it's hard for someone else to add in sources later, as the sources should be where the information originally came from.

How are you doing? I saw the discussion going on around me. I wanna apologize on my behalf for not communicating well. I understand that articles need to have a proper source, but I always add a source (ex. Soccerway profile of a player) or a link from the official AFC website.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Steel Dogg (talk) 13:37, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Steel Dogg, thanks for replying, I appreciate that. I'm not sure if you realise I've spent hours trying to communicate with you and trying to solve these issues. As I wrote to you, you are creating articles which do not list any clear sources, e.g. [1]. This, as a biography of a living person, should have inline citations, see WP:INLINECITE if you're unsure how to. All it has are 'external links' which means 'suggestions for further reading' but does not tell us what your sources were. If that was your source, you just need to change the heading from 'external links' to 'References' or 'Sources' and the main problem is solved, and it would take only a few more seconds to make these inline citations. The way you have been writing them has not been making the sources clear. If you understand this, please comment at the ANI that you understand this, will do it in future and will respond to messages in future. Best wishes and htanks again for replying, Boleyn (talk) 13:45, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately Onel5969 has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:
Sorry, am trying to make a point to this editor about section headers and putting sections in the right place.

References
[edit]I thought I added references previously. What kind of references do I need? Julio P. 04:29, 12 July 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julio Puentes (talk • contribs)
- You have not added references - e.g. look at The Family Man (1979 film), it has a references section, and it is empty. It has 'external links' which just means 'suggestions for further reading, which may or may not have been used to source the article.' The external link in question is to imdb, which is specifically banned at WP:RELIABLESOURCES. Please see Help:Referencing for beginners and ask if you are still unsure. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 06:36, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
ANI
[edit]The thing is that I've been editing in Wikia more and editing A-League club pages and that YES I'm trying so hard to look for new citations. I'm looking for maybe a few refs for this article I have been troubleshooting with. I'm doing some really hard research too, but I've found nothing.
I am very sorry for the past month I didn't edit at all and doing it for the ANI.
FastCube (talk) 20:10, 11 July 2018 (UTC)FastCube.
- Hi, FastCube, you have been regularly editing over the last month. All we need is for you to add the sources you used while creating the articles - anything more than that is great, but that's what we need. Thanks for responding - I don't think anyone minds when you say you're working on it, but people will mind if they message you several times on an important issue and you don't respond although they can see you've logged on. If you need further help at all, please ask at the best Wikiproject for your topic or at the WP:TEAHOUSE. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 06:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Removed BLP Prod
[edit]I have removed the BLP PROD tag you placed on Fiammetta Venner because the article does have references that refer to the subject. If you feel the article should be deleted, please propose it at WP:AFD. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:52, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

re:Valsain
[edit]Hi Boleyn - from time to time, I sometimes add something to Wikipedia when I note that there is not a lemma on the subject where I am looking for - with regard to Valsain, I cannot follow your comments as it does not differ that much from other wikipedia pages on Spanish villages like Mojacar. I have added a source for the inhabitants. With regard to the palace, most of the knowledge comes from the articles which I have added in the bibliography. For other lemmas, I know these places exists like the Podgorica Royal Palace and you can find texts about these places in travel guides and such, but I do not have detailed monographies on them, I just made the lemma as a start because I was looking for it and hopefully other people can also help extending Ipflo —Preceding undated comment added 20:50, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying. There are other pages without references, but that doesn't mean we should create more - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS but we should look to the guidelines, WP:V and the essay WP:BURDEN. You don't need to add lots of references, just add the sources you used while creating the article. Thanks for now adding these, Boleyn (talk) 07:42, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018
[edit]
|
Hello Boleyn, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
- New technology, new rules
- New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
- Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
- Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
- Editathons
- Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
- The Signpost
- The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.
Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Drake (disambiguation)
[edit]Hello Boleyn,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Drake (disambiguation) for deletion. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an unnecessary disambiguation page.
If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Adis Bećiragić
[edit]Hi Boleyn. In Special:Diff/810849571 you added {{inline}} and {{blpunsourced}}, but these two maintenance templates can never be used concurrently. In this case, neither of them applied, as the article had 1 gen ref. I applied {{BLP sources}} out of old habit, only to discover that we recently had {{BLP one source}} added to our {{Citation and verifiability article maintenance templates}}. All the best, Sam Sailor 15:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC) (please ping on reply)
- Hi, Sam Sailor, it looks like I was picking between the two and ended up with both, thanks for correcting it. It was a blp with no clear sources, only an 'external link'. I'm glad it is now referenced. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 15:24, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- But an external link is also a source. Sam Sailor 16:25, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- They can be, but often aren't, they are suggestions for further reading, a useful link...but WP:EL is clear that sources should be in a sources or references section, and if it is also helpful to have an External Links section, that comes separately. Many items in the External Links sections, like Twitter and imdb, wouldn't be accepted as sources either. Boleyn (talk) 14:24, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

The article Mark-Francis Vandelli has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 02:32, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Can you provide some discussion or diffs that show that the notable people section iin locality articles is intended to include groups of people rather than individually notable people, per your edit summary claim? That's certainly not the case for all lists of notable people.on Wikipedia. Meters (talk) 18:22, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- People is a plural term, there's no reason it can't include a band. It would be less worth including if just one person from the band was from Dingle, but in this case they are a Dingle band. There are no big discussions on this topic because it's not really important enough to warrant a big discussion and in this particular case, with such a short list, there isn't any big incentive to cut it down.

The article William Golding (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
There are only two notable people by this name: William O. Golding is not linked to from any other article and so shouldn't be listed in the disambiguation page per MOS:DABRED. As such, per WP:TWODABS the two articles can be connected via hatnotes with no need for a disambiguation page.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018
[edit]Hello Boleyn,
- Reviewer of the Year
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg/200px-New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg.png)
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
- Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760 reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001 reviews), Semmendinger (8,440 reviews), PRehse (8,092 reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306 reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016 reviews), and Elmidae (3,615 reviews).
Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven months, while Boleyn, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
- Less good news, and an appeal for some help
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
- Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
- Training video
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Charles Holcroft
[edit]I note that you recently reverted a redirect I'd made, but that leaves behind a dab page with only 2 links ... or, rather, one redlink and one name without evidence of notability (in the Wikipedia sense) at Charles Holcroft. In this case, Holcroft baronets already discusses both of those Charles's, so there seems no point in having in an intermediate dab page, particular while neither of them has a separate page - any reader interested in finding out more can only go to Holcroft baronets, and so it seems sensible to send them their directly. Thoughts? Klbrain (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, Klbrain. The redirect wouldn't make it clear that there are two potential people of the name. The dab makes it really clear that there are two, and how they differ. It also gives a redlink with about 3 incoming links, showing that Charles Holcroft is mentioned in several articles. If a reader then clicks on the link, they can see every mention of CHarles Holcroft, not just one. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 21:25, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification; sounds reasonable. Klbrain (talk) 22:34, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
