Tesla, Inc. reversion

A consensus was reached on Talk: Tesla, Inc. regarding inclusion of a link to TSLAQ. A consensus does not need to be an unanimous one, only a rough one. Why then did you revert my update? QRep2020 (talk) 15:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

QRep2020: Your edit was reverted because the discussion on the page is still ongoing and as such your introduction of the disputed material in the article is premature. MartinezMD had responded favorably to my latest attempt at arriving at a compromise and input from others regarding this proposal should be awaited before deeming the discussion closed. Also playing a factor is that the disputed material was inserted with no Help:Edit summary, which goes against good practice especially for a edit which is being disputed. Lklundin (talk) 16:35, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
I think this discussion should've been kept on the Tesla talk page, but if it is to keep a potential argument more private, I can understand that. I would suggest QRep2020 start an RFC if you think you have consensus when we don't. That way we can get outside parties to review the issue. It'll keep this the most neutral. MartinezMD (talk) 18:45, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
QRep2020, MartinezMD: At this stage, this seems a good direction to take. Lklundin (talk) 19:06, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

I want to reiterate, if you continue to attack the motives of QRep2020 (or myself) I will start an ANI. You have gone way over board with that line of discussion. Springee (talk) 12:52, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

You created concern by nominating an article for deletion without informing the page creator and acknowledged you would normally not act like this. Since you then go ahead and behind the back of another editor discuss articles they created and suggest 'You can always nominate them for deletion' to QRep2020, then I think you have quite the nerve to bring up my criticism of said editor.
To top it off, you profanely brush it off as "BS" when I point out how your editing is disruptive to the ongoing process.
So I will kindly suggest that you take a moment for some introspection and reflect on how you might improve your own contributions. Lklundin (talk) 10:36, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of Electrek for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Electrek is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Electrek until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 02:31, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Lklundin,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources
  • A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
  • Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
  • A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
  • Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

As I read the article all the things which make him notable have been done since he arrived in the USA. As a South African or Canadian he is only notable for leaving.Rathfelder (talk) 11:28, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Well, it is not unusual for an emigrant to be fondly remembered in their original country for things done abroad. For example, Nikola Tesla is in the category Austro-Hungarian inventors, although he has basically no notable inventions before leaving his birth country. And there is this contemporary Danish physicist Lene Hau who abroad has made very significant discoveries in fundamental physics, she is categorized as a Danish physicist/scientist, not a US one although she has lived and had her career in the USA for many years. Lklundin (talk) 11:54, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Musk is definitely a US citizen. We dont need to duplicate all these categories. Rathfelder (talk) 14:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Lklundin,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diplomacy
Just wanted to thank you for helping to bring everyone together behind a compromise at Elon Musk. ~ HAL333 03:04, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks HAL333, I appreciate that. Like this change my attempts to contribute mostly concern engineering and science, but they are rarely discussed so this was an enriching experience for me. Since misunderstandings happened more than once (e.g. confusing Nature Communications with Nature) I think I will keep an eye on this small piece of the article, but other than that I expect to go on with other, more technical pages. Still, I look forward to our next collaboration. Happy editing! Lklundin (talk) 08:07, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Rfc on Musk being an engineer has closed

The Rfc was officially closed by a non-admin, and no not by me. If there is an issue with the closure, then feel free to take that up in the proper channels. As of now however, there is nothing impeding the lede update and so I will restore it. QRep2020 (talk) 14:29, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited RDNA (microarchitecture), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Model X. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:02, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Lklundin,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
