Carajou

Hi Jake,

I was reviewing Carajou's contributions and noticed that you reverted, and warned, which I think that was entirely constructive so thank you for that, this user last year for nominating an article page incorrectly as an "attack page". The user has been posting unhelpful and misleading information in AfD discussions that Scope creep and I had initiated recently and, in looking at his or her contributions, I'm not seeing a whole lot that's constructive. So, I thought I'd try and reach out to you and Scope creep to see on the feasbility of initiating a complaint process about this user?

Do you think his or her editing and discussions behaviour is disruptive enough to warrant a complaint? --Doug Mehus (talk) 22:06, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dmehus thanks for reaching out. I may be missing something, but do you have a diff where I interacted with the user? It may be too early in the morning, but I don't seem to find that revert. I'll need to look at this in more detail._pseudonym Jake Brockman 05:42, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Jake Brockman, Oops, looks like I had stumbled upon this page and saw you rightly reverted some edits, but I see now it wasn't from the above-named user. I think I got the user wrong. My bad. Doug Mehus (talk) 15:18, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you

New Page Review newsletter November 2019

Hello Jake Brockman,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.

Getting the queue to 0

There are now 813 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.

Coordinator

Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.

This month's refresher course

Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Misplaced Pages article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Misplaced Pages or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.

Tools

• It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
• It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.

Reviewer Feedback

Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.

Second set of eyes

• Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
• Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.

Arbitration Committee

The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

Community Wish list

There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Daishawn Redan

You AfDed this a while back, I note this has been deleted then recreated. Do you think it should get a speedy or another AfD, or has his career progressed to a point he is now notable? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:16, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

@Piotrus: thanks for flagging this up. Back at the time of AFD he did no pass notability. He has since joined the first team of a Bundesliga team and has played. That will now lift him over the line for WP:NFOOTY. _pseudonym Jake Brockman 12:48, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
