Hello AllyD. I fixed a couple of articles from the end of your list. Is it OK if I add strikeouts to show which ones are done? If possible I would also like to add the name of this list to my edit summaries. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 18:42, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Vanity pages and pure PR
In the old old days, WP was its own encyclopedia, compiled for whatever reasons the founders and early editors had. Today, it's different. The first two lines (lede) pop as the right sidebar on a Google search. Having a WP entry guarantees that all the references are captured in the Wayback machine. Now, it's a commercial imperative. It straightens my hair that Forbes content is used to establish GNG. Then, directory sites are referenced, even though much of the content is simply press releases with the metadata stripped. Here are a few examples from the last couple of days, besides Philip Villa: Sachin Bishnoi, Delfino Agencies, and Loon (yacht). Rhadow (talk) 17:24, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter
Hello AllyD,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

- @Ianis Hagi:, It is important to consider the notability criteria before creating a page on an individual footballer, a club, a competition, etc. It is essential to have a reference to at least one item of coverage which is about the person or team.

Question from Natalie Astrid (10:41, 10 December 2023)
Can i write an article about an upcoming artist?? --Natalie Astrid (talk) 10:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Natalie Astrid, without knowing whether this artist works in music, visual art, or whatever, I would say this is very awkward and likely to be disappointed. The notability criteria are stringent, especially I would say in the visual arts where institutional exhibition/collection is needed, but also for musicians. Emerging artists are unlikely to have obtained the required extent of attention from others. AllyD (talk) 12:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Peterconstant (13:12, 2 January 2024)
Hi Ally, I am a undergrad student looking to get into research and I think Wikipedia would be the best way to apply my knowledge of politics in California to Wikipedia's database. What are some of the best resources to get started? --Peterconstant (talk) 13:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Browsing the articles under Category:Politics of California could be a good starting point: looking for what exists in articles there, getting familiar with the article structures there, and then when you see something that you think is poorly-expressed or is a typo, gradually getting into making fixes. One step up from that is when you see something missing or not quite right, then go looking for a reliable source to add referenced text.
- And a further step is when you decide to create a new article. It is well worth paying close attention to WP:POLITICIAN, especially the sentence underneath the bullet points. It is not uncommon for a new editor to create an article about, say, a local party official and then feel offended when it is deleted. AllyD (talk) 13:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Question from Brutallygolden (21:56, 2 January 2024)
Hi! I’ve just joined to replace a photo of a celebrity’s wikipedia page with a photo I took instead of their current one, which is quite old. Can I do this on my phone or do I have to do it on Laptop? Do you have any advice? Thank you! --Brutallygolden (talk) 21:56, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hmmm... Whenever I upload an image to Commons (the Upload Wizard is here) I use the Laptop browser. I have never tried uploading directly from the phone: it should work ok (probably a bit cramped on the layout), though I have recollections of reading somewhere that the mobile functionality for Commons is a bit limited, so loading from Laptop may be a better start.

Question from SawyerSharbino (08:10, 16 January 2024)
Hi how can i add a profile picture please? --SawyerSharbino (talk) 08:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- From your Talk page, I note there was a previous Userpage, deleted as inappropriate. Please read WP:USERPAGE. It is worth noting that a user page is about providing information useful for one's involvement in building the encyclopaedia, i.e. editing and creating pages of encyclopaedic content; profile photos - common on social media - rarely play a significant role in that.

Question from Historybuff4life4health (19:42, 17 January 2024)
Hi, I'm new to editing on Wikipedia. I've recently started to contribute to article about the late Eugene Borza, an American professor who wrote many books on the Macedonian question. When I first encountered the article, it selectively cherry-picked a quote from Borza's essay "Macedonian Redux" (which can be found here http://marpedia.blogspot.com/2020/11/macedonia-redux-and-essay-by-eugene-n.html) in order to imply that Borza thought that only modern Macedonians had no link to the Macedonians of antiquity. In fact, Borza thought that none of the modern nations in the Balkans could establish a link with the Macedonians of antiquity, and I provided additional quotes and analysis to support this case. I am frustrated by another editor who seems to be engaging in an edit war with me because they insist on promoting a politically-biased narrative. How can I make sure that the article is not misrepresented and that quotes aren't taken out of context for political purposes? Thank you --Historybuff4life4health (talk) 19:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Historybuff4life4health I would suggest you are best to use a new section at the article Talk page to set out your reasoning, and seek to agree a consensus change with other users. A Talk page venue can be better than to-and-fro in edit summaries. See also WP:CONTENTDISPUTE for further steps.

Question from Adandr25 on John Hagedorn (05:16, 30 January 2024)
Hello,
Professor Hagedorn was a dear friend of mine. He selected me for the LASURI project and as his RA/TA from 2008-2010 at UIC. He studied my family and I. Together, we focused on organized crime alongside Political Corruption. I am a Mafia/Mob Descendant. BSB at UIC is built on my family’s blood. I wrote an Afterward in a book by Charles Hager where I cite Dr. Hagedorn. It is called, ‘Chicago Heights; Little Joe College, the Outfit, and the Fall of Sam Giancana’. I would like to include this book in his Wikipedia page on my behalf. How do I do that? --Adandr25 (talk) 05:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Adandr25, I would be wary of adding one's own publications into an article:see WP:SELFCITE. What I would suggest from a look at the John Hagedorn article is that it could benefit from other citations, in particular a page reference to the Mike Davis book mentioned there.
