== [[Template:Historical Arab states and dynasties]] ==

As with most articles of this nature(ie. List-articles, X-ethnicity Templates), they are frequented/infested by POV pushers who are [[Wikipedia:NOTHERE|not here to build an encyclopedia]] or [[Wikipedia:RIGHTGREATWRONGS|here to spread the TRUTH]]!! Granted there are list-articles that are not of a POV nature, [[List of battles involving the Ghaznavid Empire]] or the soon(<small>hopefully</small>) to be [[User:Kansas Bear/List of battles involving the Seljuk Empire|List of battles involving the Seljuk Empire]]. Best just to let the insecure POV pushers have their little template(s)/list-article(s) until they [[Wikipedia:ROPE|hang themselves]](ie. don't get drawn into edit wars with them). --[[User:Kansas Bear|Kansas Bear]] ([[User talk:Kansas Bear|talk]]) 17:51, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

revert my edit

who are you Wario-Man..?! why I can not edit a page and put the correct info? do you have any problem with fact? Aryan or Arian are Iranian people..this is a fact, and we are not proud of any race or gen. if you are racist and can not see that please let the others to hear the truth. do not play with history.

Clearly you are not familiar with Wikipedia rules and policies. Read my warning message on your talk page. Plus avoid personal attacks, nationalistic rants, and forum-like comments. --Wario-Man (talk) 14:14, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NG

Hi WM. I just reverted these edits by user:Cekli829.

a) he removed mention of "Persia" from the infobox
b) he added two irredentist pics ([1]-[2]) to a small subsection.
c) he didn't provide any reason/edit summary for these changes.

Curious for your opinion. - LouisAragon (talk) 02:03, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon:
a) Was it a part of Persia in that era? Since Persian/Iranian territory was variable during ancient and medieval eras, it's better to mention dynasty or kingdom who ruled that region during the life of Nizami. For example, see Al-Biruni.
b) We had similar issues on Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, a stamp. See its talk page for more info. If the used images promote irredentist claims, you can remove them.
c) When you encounter such edits and if the involved editors restore their edits, then open a section on talk page and ask them about their edits.
--Wario-Man (talk) 06:08, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
With these two edits,[3]-[4] you just (unintentionally) drew many "concerned editors" to this place.[5]-[6]-[7]-[8] - LouisAragon (talk) 14:05, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It has nothing to do with my edits. The language template was changed on this revision.[9] No reason to use a regional dialect/variant for a historical name. --Wario-Man (talk) 16:11, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Mann Mann, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!
The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
  • We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

  • We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

  • ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
  • Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

I am hadilak

I added the correct item on the Iranian Ethnic List And you should not clean it. I myself am lak, and I know that the crowds in Iran are about 2.5 million. Please return me with what I edited Thanks Hadilak (talk) 23:36, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Hadilak: Unsourced changes will be reverted for sure. Read WP policies and guides. --Wario-Man (talk) 05:44, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Modu Chanyu - Mete

Modu Chanyu's name is Mete in Turkish. This is a well known fact. He is also a prominent figure in Turkish history. Why does his page only have Chinese and Mongolian names? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masteryoda17 (talkcontribs) 20:48, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The same reason why we don't add his name in German, it's irrelevant. Xiongnu and its rulers have nothing to do with Turkish language. It does not matter what you call him in Turkish or how you view him in Turkey. Chinese and Mongolian are relevant because they are used in historical sources. --Wario-Man (talk) 04:36, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean it is irrelevant? Many academic sources claim that Xiongnu people were majorly Turkic. Modu Chanyu is seen as an ethnically Turkish ancestor. How do you know Xiongnu were related to Mongolian, but not Turkic people. In fact, Xiongnu were related to Turkic people more than Mongolians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masteryoda17 (talkcontribs) 06:05, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of Xiongnu is uncertain. Plus Turkic is not equal to Turkish language. You can't add Turkish language to articles just per that "Turkic" thing or your POV and personal analysis/opinion. As a new user, clearly you're not familiar with WP policies and guidelines. You better start reading them. My warning message has links to some of them. Also read WP:POV and WP:DISRUPT. Adding irrelevant languages to articles = POV, disruptive editing. Don't you agree with me? Go to Talk:Modu Chanyu, start a new section, provide your rationale and sources and discuss it with other editors. I may write my comment there. End of discussion. --Wario-Man (talk) 10:11, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my replies on my talk page.

Hi considering that you have warned me for being a ‘disruotuve’ editor. I would really appreciate it if you could read what I had written on my talk page and reply to me. I’m sorry to have to leave a message on your talk page.--Failosopher (talk) 07:50, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Failosopher: I don't read it because I have clarified everything for you and it seems you didn't get the point yet. Again: the problem is you have misunderstood that "Iranian" in the lead. Read it: Iranian peoples. You think it is only related to Iran and it's a nationality but it's an ethnolingustic term just like Germanic. It's sourced and based on citations while your addition "Afghan/Afghani" is just your very own personal opinion and some kind of nationalistic POV-pushing. What you did is irredentism + anachronism. You can't add your POV and personal analysis/interpretation to the articles. That's all. End of discussion. --Wario-Man (talk) 10:47, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Wario-Man: Please check the revisions. I completely agree that adding Afghani-Afghan is inappropriate. Let me assure you I did not make that revision. I simply added Parsis and Iranis (which are a community of Indian/Pakistani Zoroastrians to whom Nowruz is still important). The bit about Afghani peoples, was added in an edit by this IP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/184.151.222.124, in this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nowruz&diff=831437507&oldid=831437273. This was done whilst I was in between revisions on the page so I can totally understand your confusion. Can we come to a compromise- I will make include Iranis and Parsis in the text once I have found appropriate sources for their inclusion. --Failosopher (talk) 21:00, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello Mann Mann, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

  • ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing

  • Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled

  • While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News

  • The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

Afghanistan

As to your edit summary yesterday on 'Afghanistan', while removing "Hindi" (in section Etymology), I'm wondering:

  • what is "pov";
  • why is "Hindi" 'pov';
  • why did you remove 'Hindi' there?

--Corriebertus (talk) 16:09, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Corriebertus:
  • WP:POV
  • Read -stan, it has nothing to do with Hindi. It's a Persian suffix. An user added his personal opinion to the section etymology.[10] Wrong, irrelevant, unsourced, and pov addition. Consider this example: Someone edits Germany and adds a random language like Japanese to "Etymology". Don't you remove/revert their edit?
  • Per 1 & 2
And I'm just wondering why my edit was odd for you. Is it because of my edit summary? Was it confusing or what? --Wario-Man (talk) 17:55, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Amigo/amiga,
'Odd', or rather questionable, because: (a) 'pov' is not an existing word in normal English outside Wikipedia (and should therefore nor be used here unless inevitable); (b) some Wikipedians seem to have built up a tradition to use 'pov' as (vague) reference to policy page WP:NPOV, but in the case at hand here I couldn't see any connection to the content or message or instruction on that policy page. We shouldn't too much copy the usage of tokens (like 'pov') from other Wikipedians if those tokens are not plain and normal English, are vague or unknown to readers, and/or are used incorrectly.
I'm further commenting on the (wrong) usage of 'pov' on another Talk page, not to be rude to you or to denounce you, but because the incorrect use of 'pov' to my opinion comes back often in Wikipedia, and perhaps it is good to discuss that matter with the wider Wikipedia community. See: Wikipedia talk:Neutral point of view#Incorrect usage of the term 'pov' or 'POV'. --Corriebertus (talk) 15:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:People of Khorasan

Hi, you seem to be contributing to Iran-related pages, and I am wondering if you can share your views in this voting. The Template:People of Khorasan has been tagged by someone for deletion. I have challenged the decision here. The discussion is open for voting. Can you please give your views in this page? Thanks --Cabolitæ (talk) 16:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you see my additions to the Kangju talk page?

You seem to be a much more experienced Wikipedian than I am, so I was hoping you could look at, and respond to what I found in reference to the whole Tamga issue.

Best, Darokrithia (talk) 19:35, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Mann Mann, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

  • WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags

  • Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

  • A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

  • There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. 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.

Paid editing - new policy

  • Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

  • The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English

  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

  • Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
  • The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

"Parthian Empire"

Parthian Empire may be more prevalent in English sources, but that doesn't make it more accurate. Parthia was but a single region and never denoted the whole empire. Just like articles mentioning the Persian Empire should be corrected to the Iranian Empire to avoid confusion with the region Persia/Persis/Parsa (which it has gradually been in modern scholarship). The article about the Neo-Persian Empire is called the Sasanian Empire, so why not the Arsacid Empire? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andribuss (talkcontribs) 14:24, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OR and take your concerns to Talk:Parthian Empire. --Wario-Man (talk) 19:15, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Al-Biruni

Hi Wario-Man, could you please comment on User talk:Monsore about Al-Biruni ? i spent hours explaining user:Monsore why we should write Iranian and not Persian in the article about the scholar, but he refuses to listen and keeps going on edit-warring. He says that Afghans have nothing to do with Iranians and denies any Iranian conquest of Afghanistan. Thanks. Best regards.---Wikaviani (talk) 19:45, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Biruni has nothing to do with Afghan and a modern country like Afghanistan. Since when a medieval scholar from Khwarezm has become Afghan?! If that user does it again, just report him to WP:ANI. --Wario-Man (talk) 20:03, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Maid battleground comments treating Iranian historians of liars and many other disrespectful comments, could you please check his talk page and tell me if i should report him to ANI ? His last comment is : "i'll change the Iranian ethnicities in other articles and write "disputed" instead !" Thanks.---Wikaviani (talk) 20:15, 31 May 2018 (UTC)u[reply]
Then he's a WP:NOTHERE case. He does not want contribute to WP. Report him ANI and provide diffs and summary of his behavior. There is no reason to debate with a nationalistic troll. Admins should deal with him. --Wario-Man (talk) 20:20, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help. I will report him right now. Best regards.---Wikaviani (talk) 20:24, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tajiks

Hello dear Wario-Man,

I saw your message. I really did not want to insert something with less neutrality to Tajiks. I believe in Wikipedia philosophy and your neutral approach to issues. In the first version of "Tajiks", it had been written that "Tajiks are iranian people" that is not true. I did change it to " Tajiks are from Iranian origin". Iranian and Tajiks are two different nations.

Anyway, thank you for your considerations.

P. MoineddiniP. Moineddini (talk) 07:04, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@P. Moineddini: Have you clicked on that Iranian link to see what it is? It's not about Iran, it's about Iranian peoples which is an ethno-linguistic group. That's the reason why I reverted your edit because it was unnecessary. --Wario-Man (talk) 10:19, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPP Backlog Elimination Drive

Hello Mann Mann, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel: there are currently 2900 unreviewed articles, and 4000 unreviewed redirects.

Hi

In the article written that the Huns, Tuoba, and Xiongnu are unknown but may be of Turkic ancestry. scholars have suggested that the Avars could have spoken Turkic language. Good luck Amirxa (talk) 11:17, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. Seems you didn't read Pannonian Avars carefully. It's about their language not origin. Speaking language X is not equal to being ethnic X. Article clearly says "were a group of Eurasian nomads of unknown origin", the rest is about their possible spoken languages. It's not similar to Huns, Tuoba, and Xiongnu cases, e.g. If you look at Xiongnu, there are sources about Proto-Turkic background of their ruling class while origin of Pannonian Avars is uncertain. --Wario-Man (talk) 09:02, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Look at this: The Avar Khaganate was a khanate established in Central Europe, specifically in the Pannonian Basin region, in 567 by the Avars, a nomadic people of uncertain origins and ethno-linguistic affiliation.[8][9] Several theories propose a partially Mongolic, Turkic or Tungusic origin. It's about origin not language. Amirxa (talk) 11:17, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just NO because: 1. We're talking about Pannonian Avars not their khaganate. 2. The changes was made by several IPs [11] by ignoring the main article about Pannonian Avars. The IPs cherry-picked info from main article and inserted them into the other article. I will restore NPOV revision again. --Wario-Man (talk) 05:24, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Read it again: avar Khaganate established in Central Europe, specifically in the Pannonian Basin region, in 567 by the Avars, a nomadic people of uncertain origins and ethno-linguistic affiliation.[8][9] Several theories propose a partially Mongolic, Turkic or Tungusic origin. 2.why you remove Content with source. You remove Content with source in merkit and Keraites.There is source to show they are Tukic. Why you remove it. First merkit khan name is tudur bilge and keraites khan name is Tughrul (These names probably have a Turkic root).you must writte all. Not what you like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amirxa (talkcontribs) 16:26, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why you don't get it?! Clearly you don't understand what I wrote in the above comments and you're not familiar with WP guidelines and policies. I have clarified everything for you. Did you read my last message on your talk page?![12] Don't you see those stuff added by blocked sockmaster User:Joohnny braavoo1 and problematic IPs like 90.146.213.80. Trying to restoring sockpuppet's edits and starting POV-pushing = disruptive edits. Read WP:POV, WP:OR, and WP:WEIGHT. And don't write on my talk page again.

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello Mann Mann, 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.

Your perspective

Would you be so kind as to read over User:Kansas Bear/Persian wars of Constantius II? I would appreciate your perspective. If you need an idea of what was changed, read Persian wars of Constantius II. Thank you. --Kansas Bear (talk) 01:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kansas Bear: You want to rewrite the whole article? --Wario-Man (talk) 12:02, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have rewrote the entire article. Have you read the current version, which uses Gibbon almost exclusively as a source?--Kansas Bear (talk) 15:14, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

This is our sources for Rouran Khaganate(source [4]): Encyclopedia of the Peoples of Asia and Oceania https://books.google.com/books?id=pCiNqFj3MQsC&pg=PA687#v=onepage&q&f=false

This is photo from page 678 (writte about Rouran Khaganate) :

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Origin_of_Rouran_Khaganate.jpg Some sources state that they were proto-Mongols who spoke an early form of the Mongol language, while others ascribe Turkic origin them. Louisol (talk) 17:13, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Louisol: Hi. The author is a social anthropologist so I doubt it passes as a reliable source for history. Let me ask other editors about it by opening a section on WP:RSN. --Wario-Man (talk) 07:00, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Look at page of Jalairs. It's written on this page: "Jalair is one of the Darliqin Mongol tribes according to Rashid-al-Din Hamadani's Jami' al-tawarikh." But that's wrong.Darliqin Mongol(مغول درلکین) tribes according to Rashid-al-Din Hamadani's Jami' al-tawarikh are this tribe (From page 147 to 182) : http://uupload.ir/files/6kjb_darlikin_mongols_147_-_182.png

And writte about Jalair tribe (from page 65-73):در ذکر اقوامی از اتراک که ایشان را این زمان مغول می گویند

Persian text translation: "In mentioning the of Turkic peoples , who called them Mogul at this time."

(Jami' al-tawarikh page 65) http://uupload.ir/files/trl_jalair_65_-_73.png

Sorry I did not have access to the English source. I used the Persian source. But I highlighted the important parts and I gave you the page numbers.

And even René Grousset (in "The Empire of the Steppes: A History of Central Asia" page 194) and Yury Zuev (in "Early Turks: Essays on history and ideology", page 104-105) said that the jalairs have Turkic origin. Good luck.Louisol (talk) 17:13, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, #1 is a primary source and WP:OR. #2 (René Grousset) does not say they had Turkic origin but says: "The Jelair tribe... may have been a Turkic tribe..." Plus, is Jelair = Jalair? #3 is in Russian and it does not seem a WP:RS. See [16]. Find better sources. I ask another editor's opinion about your sources. So wait. --Wario-Man (talk) 07:34, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is Louisol the same as Limbozz? Appears to be the same argument. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:46, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About #3:yes you right

About #2:The first part of your text is right "The Jelair tribe... may" jalairs may have Turkic origin.

But the second part of your text is wrong if you see Grousset written "Jelair" It's because of language. Look at this:just because of" َ " and " ِ "

(جِلایر= Jelair) (جَلایر=jalairs)

Or

(عَرب=Arab) (عِرب=Erab)

Even Uzbeks call jalairs as" Jaloyir" https://uz.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaloyirlar

About #1:It's not WP:OR. These two photos are taken from the main book of Jami' al-tawarikh in persian language. and not belong to me. If you have access to the English version of Jami' al-tawarikh's book. Give me the link to show you the Content. Sorry that my description was long. Good luck

Thanks Kansas Bear, it would be great if you add them to Jalairs and Jalairid Sultanate. @Louisol: As you see, their Mongol background is supported by various sources. Compare those mentioned references with yours. That's all. --Wario-Man (talk) 11:54, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018

Hello Mann Mann, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Project news
As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
Other
Moving to Draft and Page Mover
  • Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
  • If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
  • Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
  • The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
  • The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.
List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing

  • Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget.
  • In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions.
  • MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues.
  • User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page)
  • User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js(info): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50).
  • User:Primefac/revdel.js(info): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you.
  • User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js(info): Creates a "Page Curation" link to Special:NewPagesFeed up near your sandbox link.
  • User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion.
  • User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar
For all the times you helped me, here on Wikipedia. You told me about Twinkle, you helped me to better understand what a reliable source is, you corrected many of my numerous (alas) erroneous edits, etc ... the list is long and i don't want to bother you further with it. So, to make it short : THANK YOU my friend. Take care. ---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 21:07, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wow... Many thanks for this. Cheers! --Wario-Man (talk) 14:23, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As with most articles of this nature(ie. List-articles, X-ethnicity Templates), they are frequented/infested by POV pushers who are not here to build an encyclopedia or here to spread the TRUTH!! Granted there are list-articles that are not of a POV nature, List of battles involving the Ghaznavid Empire or the soon(hopefully) to be List of battles involving the Seljuk Empire. Best just to let the insecure POV pushers have their little template(s)/list-article(s) until they hang themselves(ie. don't get drawn into edit wars with them). --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:51, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
