Doubled and quadrupled commas

Hi, I noticed your use of Doubled and quadrupled commas ↗, a notation which I have never seen before. If you invented this notation, I am interested in its genesis. It reminds me of Jacqueline Kennedy ↗'s letter-writing style (she tended to avoid periods). Perhaps you might illuminate its meaning for me? What I thought of when reading the edit, was that you were thinking multiple phrases that you were intending to fill in later, but then you cut your edit short, leaving the commas. --Ancheta Wis   (talk | contribs) ↗ 16:30, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
I will amend such irregular comma proliferations in the future, I thank you for bringing it to my
attention--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:55, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Might that not be better placed, due to the low relevance of a singe college in Texas in relation to the wider epidemic, in the U.S. sub article instead ↗ section "Call for suspension of visas"? As an example of how (not) to quarantine the virus?

Hi,
This source is not reliable. It uses Wikipedia as a source. Read it carefully. --Max24 (talk) 13:16, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

you are correct--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:26, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Can we be friends?/ '''ebola'''

I wanted to make sure there weren't any hard feelings about the Ebola ↗ article. You're clearly a WP:Good-faith ↗ editor, and I don't want to upset or wrong you. The new information about the Liberian infection rate was important and useful, and I hope you don't mind my revising it. I was trying to improve it according to WP:TONE ↗ and WP:MOS ↗, as I have needed other editors ↗ to fix my own edits.

As to allegations of sockpuppetry, I recognize that I've been unusually active for a new-ish user (evidently I need more of a life). I can totally see where you're coming from, and going to an admin seems like a great response. You're welcome to go through my past and future edits ↗, and follow instructions on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations ↗ to report me if you find evidence of misbehavior. Thanks for your efforts!

I wish you the best, and apologize again for any offense I've given you. FourViolas (talk) 02:47, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

RE/ Hemopurifier https://www.internationalsos.com/ebola/index.cfm?content_id=442&language_id=ENG ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

Hi Ozzie
I researched this.
a) it's an early stage product which may never come into general use ( http://www.aethlonmedical.com/products/hemopurifier/index.htm )
b) it must be attached to a kidney dialysis machine - not many of those in W Africa !! ( http://m.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/14/aethlon-hemopurifier-ebola/ )
c) the patient was receiving multiple therapies and his viral load was already in decline ( http://m.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/14/aethlon-hemopurifier-ebola/ )
Cheers, Bob.

Hello again, Ozzie! Please don't take my edits personally. I spend an average of 1 hour researching before I make any edit. I'll only add material if it enhances the value of the article to the reader - it's important to maintain the reputation of WP and of the Ebola pages. I'll remove any edit which doesn't meet WP guidelines or is not relevant to the page. Robertpedley (talk) 11:32, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

RE/Dyslexia/'''GA''' ('''wikiproject med''') https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_articles ↗

Hi Ozzie10aaaa

Due to my own dyslexic issues my copy editing skills are next to zero, but i can help provide links to supporting citations and and worldcat IDs for books. I found out about my poor copy editing abilities when i tried ot edit the dyslexia article back in 2009 - 2010. There was a Dyslexia prject set of pages with a few suggested future updates. Not sure if it si still accessable. best wishes dolfrog (talk) 12:08, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

It is slightly dated but some of the ideas may be useful Wikipedia:WikiProject Dyslexia ↗ and my most recent set of dyslexia links including some research papers can be found on my new Useful Dyslexia links ↗ web page which represents more my personal perpsective. Currently I am busy elsewhere but i will try to keep up with your progress with the article dolfrog (talk) 18:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

I would be honored to assist,thank you --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:07, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Definition of Dyslexia

Hi Ozzie10aaaa,

While it's true when it comes to dyslexia the diagnosis is clinical and scientific, the treatment is educational.

That's why my hope is to find a home for the NICHD definition of dyslexia. In 1994 and again in 2002 the IDA lead the Definition Consensus Project in partnership with the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The resulting definition helped align the professional community and laid the groundwork for important public policy initiatives going forward.

Todayl, this definition is the cornerstone for important legislation in the U.S. that is leading to early screening, evaluation and help. It took an extraordinary commitment from a large dedicated team to reach this important milestone and it would be great to find a place on Wikipedia for this important information.

Please advise.

Best,

Dyslexia ↗/GA2

Thanks for the thanks! Have just noticed: what does "sounding out words" in the second line of the Lead mean? ~ P-123 (talk) 12:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
:P-123 dyslexics go by different routes of learning they need "sounds" to ascertain what it is they are saying or being said...in this case it simply means an emphasis on the word..example -the train is coming,,,a dyslexic would say - '''t-h-e t-r-a-I-n I-s c-o-m-I-n-g''' to get a full appreciation of the sentence, it isn't easy , thanks for asking--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:49, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

west Africa/'''ebola'''

Hi Ozzie.. I think that Perhaps these 3 do need a little rearranging.. Guinea with the lowest cases, but the index case has to stay first, Sierra Leone second sounds good, with Liberia last Mostly because of the total case counts. The daily Case counts must be viewed cautiously, how many times has it happened that case counts slow, just before it resurfaces in a new region. Also i'm concerned about the 'Suspected case' counts that are still increasing, as well as the slowness of reports coming out of Liberia. Then again it wont move to "Contained" until WHO confirms... So I see no real problem with a little reshuffle.. Gremlin ↗SA 13:30, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

:Just a quick note update.. Looking at latest released figures from Liberia..

MEDDATE /('''wikiproject med''')^https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-articleinfo/?article=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine&project=en.wikipedia.org ↗

You cite MEDDATE in a lot of discussions, so I wanted to take a moment to clarify that "rule". It's meant to be a rule of thumb ↗, rather than an absolute requirement. It doesn't say just "five years"; it says "five years ''or so''", and those last two words matter. It also says that the rule was written for subjects that receive the most attention, like Hypertension ↗, and not for rare diseases or other subjects that don't see much research attention.

What you really want is to consider the last few high-quality secondary sources, which (depending on the subject) might be professional-level books or review articles. We want to take advantage of what MEDDATE calls the "full review cycle": Alice published a review, Bob published a primary study, and Chris read both Alice's and Bob's papers and wrote a new review. If it took ten years to get through a full review cycle, then MEDDATE actually wants ten years, not five. Conversely, if you get three good review articles every month, then MEDDATE would rather than you used this year's or last year's best publications, instead of going back to anything that was no more than four years and 364 days old.

Humans and the Environment

Hi Ozzie10aaaa. A notification came up that you asked me a questionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine&oldid=prev&diff=654966325 ↗, but I then saw you reverted it so assumed you changed your mind. I only just now noticed that you asked it in another format. I know {{u|Jytdog}} gave an answer at WT:MED#Safety of genetically modified foods ↗, but since that thread is getting quite long and relatively stale I though I would give my 2 cents here. Feel free to move it back there if you think that appropriate.

The interactions between GMOs and the environment then the environment and humans are complicated so a straight answer may be difficult. Some of the main environmental concerns covered at the controversies page ↗ are; insects developing resistance, horizontal gene transfer to other plants, death of non-target organisms, loss of biodiversity and secondary pests becoming more prominent. The effect of these on the environment are hard to accurately predict, let alone whether they will have any indirect effect on human health. Glyphosphate-resistant weeds resulting from gene flow are unlikely to develop outside of crops as they do not provide any selective advantage in the wild, but insect resistant ones might. Loss of biodiversity is a problem with all agriculture and so is the death of non-target organisms. Everything is interconnected in some way so I can't honestly say something occurring to environment through genetic engineering will never effect human health at some point. I feel that would be true for any technology though. Most people when thinking about human health and GM food are more concerned with the direct relationship. If I eat this will it be harmful to me. I think the article is better off distinguishing between the environment and human health the way it does.

You gave an example that increased pesticides used on GM crops may lead to increased risk of cancers.http://medicina.lsmuni.lt/med/0802/0802-01e.pdf ↗ The theory being that GMO crops have increased pesticide use and high levels of pesticide are a risk factor for some cancers. Currently there are two main groups of GM crops on the market (Bt crops and glyphosphate resistant crops). Bt crops actually use less pesticide since they are modified to be insect resistant (so need less synthetic pesticide). The Bt toxin itself has been shown through multiple studies to be harmless to humans and even non-target insectshttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4147589/ ↗http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19295059 ↗http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11067772 ↗. Glyphosphate is relatively safe to humans (see Glyphosate#Human toxicity ↗) compared to other herbicides. Any chemical application is going to be regulated under various governmental acts designed to keep toxicity levels below a certain level and this will apply to all crops including GMO ones. You also have to take into account that most toxicity studies are done using straight round-up or a similar product, whereas in practice the final food product will at most have only residue of the chemical and in most cases virtually none of the pesticide will remain. Again all this is all regulated (with-holding periods and the like) and not unique to GMO.

Anyway, I am not trying to convince you to become a supporter GM. I don't even really know where you stand on the issue. I personally see huge potential and most of the risks as being speculative, especially those related to human health. I knew a group of researchers that were trying to put vaccines in bananas. One idea being that they could be used to vaccinate kids in regions with unreliable or no power. I think this factor and many other similar ones get overlooked and the discussion is dominated by Monsanto's involvement and much of the opposition is because of them.

WHO Model List of Essential Medicines ↗/{{font color|green|'''Review for Featured list'''}}

Wikipedia:Featured list criteria

Prose. It features professional standards of writing.

Lead. It has an engaging lead that introduces the subject and defines the scope and inclusion criteria.

Comprehensiveness.

(a) It comprehensively covers the defined scope, providing at least all of the major items and, where practical, a complete set of items; where appropriate, it has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about the items.
(b) In length and/or topic, it meets all of the requirements for stand-alone lists; does not violate the content-forking guideline, does not largely duplicate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article.

Structure. It is easy to navigate and includes, where helpful, section headings and table sort facilities.

Style. It complies with the Manual of Style and its supplementary pages.

(a) Visual appeal. It makes suitable use of text layout, formatting, tables, and colour; and a minimal proportion of items are redlinked.
(b) Media files. It has images and other media, if appropriate to the topic, that follow Wikipedia's usage policies, with succinct captions. Non-free images and other media satisfy the criteria for the inclusion of non-free content and are labeled accordingly

Stability. It is not the subject of ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured list process

Over the last 4 years a number of us have been worked to improve all 414 medicines on this list. The leads of each item now provides a decent well referenced overview of the subject in question and an article exists for each of the medicines / combinations. The WHO just released an image under an open license for use to us. World Health Day is April 7th and 2017 also marks the 40 anniversary of the EML. Would be nice to get this ready for the main page for that date. I also believe it meets the FL criteria. '''Doc James''' (talk · contribs ↗ · email ↗) 13:13, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for responding my post ↗ on WPMED about our study, and hope you are interested in it. I wonder if you'd like to participate our study to recruit editors we recommend for WPMED?

Thanks for your help with those new Cochrane Editors. Cochrane ran an editing workshop and it looks like they drummed up some interest.
How did you reply to the person who did not sign their page? I have not figured out that trick :)

I will be away from my internet for a couple of days, but will be following up with these people and will support them as new editors.

Thanks again for all your friendly assistance and support in my own Wikipedia editing initiatives.

According to the OMIM review on GSD IXd ↗, Burwinkel et al. (2003) is the last word from the medical research community on the genetics of GSD IXd.

Adding this to the infobox is misleading. It is clear from the article that it is NOT an inherited disease. Familial (or, rather, on the latest theory, commensal), but not genetic. Philip Trueman (talk) 09:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

::It is clear from one of these pages you cite that there is disagreement among the primary sources.

Request for more input in Antibiotics Talk ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

Hello! I see you commented at the top of the discussion in Antibiotics Talk ↗

I wonder if you could come back and lay eyes on the reference in question and comment on whether it's a reliable biomedical secondary source per WP:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)#Definitions ↗. I haven't made a lot of edits, so I may be applying my professional understanding inappropriately, but it seems like all four of the references I referred to in talk are considered reliable secondary sources here as well. You've been around for a while, so if you look at the actual references and say they're not, then I know i've misunderstood. If I can get some consensus on whether those sources are appropriate, then it will be worth my time to rewrite as suggested in talk. If not, I won't bother.

This is the reference that was originally used. It's a perspective's article published in Science (see the publishers requirements for that type of article: http://www.sciencemag.org/authors/science-information-authors
<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ratcliff|first=William Croft|last2=Denison|first2=Robert Ford|date=2011-04-29|title=Alternative Actions for Antibiotics|url=http://science.sciencemag.org/content/332/6029/547|journal=Science|language=en|volume=332|issue=6029|pages=547–548|doi=10.1126/science.1205970|issn=0036-8075|pmid=21527704}}</ref>

Here are the additional references mentioned in talk. I'll use web links here:
Science, a news article (on the topic in general, not on the previous perspectives article)
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/324/5935/1637.long

A review in Chemical Reviews, also on the topic in general (pub med central link to full text)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3173521/

A more recent review (12/2017) in Cell Press, that includes a section on the topic:

http://www.cell.com/trends/microbiology/pdf/S0966-842X(17)30148-8.pdf (link to pdf, requires subscription)

Archiving?Help:Archiving_a_talk_page ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

Hello, I have noticed you have a tendency to add archives to talk pages. For example here ↗ and here ↗. May I ask why you do this? Or if there is a specific guideline I can read about this? WP:ARCHIVE ↗ notes in the lead that when a Talk page exceeds 75,000 bytes it is recommended to archive per the talk page guidelines ↗. Linked examples above were just 14,000 and 21,000 bytes respectively. --Treetear (talk) 20:57, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

It is customary to periodically archive old discussions on a talk page when that page becomes too large. Bulky talk pages may be hard to navigate, contain obsolete discussion, or become a burden for users with slow Internet connections or computers.''...the last discussion on that page was Aug. 2015(2.5 years ago)https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Transverse_myelitis&diff=next&oldid=734068341 ↗....the aforementioned 'archive help page' further indicates ,''However, {{underline|when to archive, and what may be the optimal length for a talk page, are subjective decisions that should be adapted to each case}}'' --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 21:41, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 
::Thank you for the answer. If we use the same first quote with different emphasis:
::''It is customary to periodically archive old discussions on a talk page '''when that page becomes too large'''. '''Bulky talk pages''' may be hard to navigate, contain obsolete discussion, or become a burden for users with slow Internet connections or computers.''
::In my opinion, it is a bit overkill to archive Talk pages with only around 15 or less sections (each with only a few comments), seeing there are no active discussions popping up recently that could re-populate the Talk page. I see no use in having an empty Talk page with an archive, compared to a small Talk page with no recent discussion. The previous discussion is useful to have visible for readers and editors and should not be 'hidden' or be archived to give the appearance that the discussions are finished. Occassionally, comments are given on older discussions, especially on pages where there are not many sections on the Talk page. Even if no comments would pop up in 2.5 years, maybe what's stopping it is that previous discussions on a topic have already commented what the editor had in mind suggesting.
::I think you may have misread the Guidelines and missed the necessary point that archiving suggestedly only should be considered when a page is large or "bulky", not necessarily when nobody has commented in a while. --Treetear (talk) 22:55, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Thrombocytosis ↗ /('''wikiproject med''')^

Hi Ozzie - i asked for a page move earlier - Essential thrombocytosis to Essential thrombocythemia ↗. This was because it was the name used on the page, in the infobox and in the refs. I've just looked at the page thrombocytosis which you edited recently - and thought i'd bring it to your attention - both pages ought to use the same name. Ngrams favour essential thrombocythemia but favour thrombocytosis. The page was moved - any thoughts? thanks (and a late thanks for all your past thanks) --Iztwoz (talk) 15:46, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Unicentric Castleman disease ↗ Article structure /('''wikiproject med''')^

I noticed that you changed the organization of the unicentric castleman disease article I wrote. Sorry to re-edit this question, initially I preferred the classification section rather than the signs and symptoms, but I think that does work.

Looks like they resurrected Sinclair method ↗ / The Sinclair Method ↗ after that 2015 AfD /('''wikiproject med''')^

As per the suggestion on the closing admin's talk page ↗, I am pinging active editors who voted on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sinclair_Method_(2nd_nomination) ↗ a few years ago about what happened to that page. Within a month of the original Sinclair Method ↗ (currently a redirect) article being deleted, The Sinclair Method ↗ (also a redirect) was created; that was moved to Sinclair method ↗ and finally made in to a "soft" (i.e. history preserved) redirect; here is the history of that article ↗. I myself have restored Sinclair Method ↗ as a redirect, for pragmatic reasons: The page http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/10/26/alcoholics-anonymous-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/ ↗ has a link to the old Sinclair Method article, and I think a link to a short summary is more useful for readers than a dead link.

Hi Ozzie10aaaa,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself. We could use a good medical editor like yourself on the team.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer ↗? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial ↗ before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR ↗.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, — '''''Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)''''' 21:19, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

right|80px ↗
Hi Ozzie10aaaa. Your account has been added to the "<code>New page reviewers</code>" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled ↗, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the '''New Pages Feed''' ↗. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you '''must''' read the new tutorial at New Pages Review ↗, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy ↗. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the '''new page reviewer talk page''' ↗. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors ↗. They are usually ↗ not aware that they are doing anything wrong.

You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.

If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.

Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right may be revoked by an administrator. ~ Amory ''(u • t • c ↗)'' 20:44, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, 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 ↗.

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, 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

The New Page Feed ↗ now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the '''WMF's AfC Improvement Project ↗'''.

: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.

There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks ↗ for more info to see if you can help out.

;Other

A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources ↗, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.

;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.

{{Collapse|bg=#90C0FF|2=List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing|1=

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 <code><nowiki>importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' );</nowiki></code> 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): <code><nowiki>npp_num_pages=20;</nowiki></code> (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: <code><nowiki>rater_autostartNamespaces = 0;</nowiki></code> 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).

There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal ↗ for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.

Please '''join the conversation ↗''' as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

;Project updates

ORES predictions ↗ are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.

There are now tools being tested ↗ to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

Request to submit Wikipedia article to ''Wiki.J.Med''

I have nominated ↗ the some Wikipedia articles (that have significant contributions from you) for review through Wiki.J.Med. I need to ask you whether you would like to have your name (original name) with affiliations included in the list of authors, or at least your pseudonymous username, and whether you would like act as the corresponding author of those articles. It would be appreciable if you can join in and help to upgrade the article(s) as they undergo review. I myself would be joining in and would try to help though the review process (and possibly prior to that as well). Seeking your cooperation. You can respond to this message or contact me privately.

Hello,

I wanted to share a follow-up to an RfC you participated in from late 2016/early 2017 ↗. It was regarding making certain warning templates visible on mobile. The Readers web team has been working to improve how these templates appear on the mobile website. I shared an announcement with communities ↗ today that covers what is happening. If you have any interest, I encourage your support in giving feedback on the project page ↗ or helping update templates of this nature with some of our recommendations ↗.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},
;<big>Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW ↗</big>

'''Community Wishlist''' Voting takes place '''16 to 30 November''' for the '''Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements''' ↗, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is '''very important''' as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

:If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

:We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

:With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also ''The Signpost'' Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers' ↗, and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue ↗ of ''The Signpost'' which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Reviewer of the Year
right|200px ↗
This year's award for the '''''Reviewer of the Year''''' goes to {{noping|Onel5969}}. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554{{nbsp}}reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285{{nbsp}}edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
:Thanks are also extended for their work to {{noping|JTtheOG}} (15,059 reviews), {{noping|Boleyn}} (12,760{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Cwmhiraeth}} (9,001{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Semmendinger}} (8,440{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|PRehse}} (8,092{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Arthistorian1977}} (5,306{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Abishe}} (4,153 reviews), {{noping|Barkeep49}} (4,016{{nbsp}}reviews), and {{noping|Elmidae}} (3,615{{nbsp}}reviews). {{noping|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{noping|Semmendinger}}, {{noping|Barkeep49}}, and {{noping|Elmidae}} have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven{{nbsp}}months, while {{noping|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.

;Less good news, and an appeal for some help
The backlog is now approaching <big>'''5,000'''</big> ↗, and still rising. There are around 640{{nbsp}}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{{nbsp}}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{{nbsp}}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.

Help with editing a page N-localizer ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

I’m new to Wikipedia. I see that you have previously edited the N-localizer ↗ page, so could you please help me to edit that page?

I’ve moved Figure 1 out of the info box, added a discussion that ties Figures 1-3 together, and added a discussion of the Sturm-Pastyr localizer. However, Figure 3 doesn’t line up with Figures 1 and 2 but instead is lower on the page. Can you please help me to fix this problem? Thanks! Lunqvist (talk) 05:05, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Parameter 'thumb'/('''wikiproject med''')^

Hi Ozzie, when you add an image to an infobox, like this one-Apocrine gland carcinoma ↗, can you try to remember not to include the <code>|thumb</code> parameter with the image filename, please? The infobox already deals with the image position and size, and the thumb parameter just gets treated as an invalid parameter. That places the article in :Category:Pages using infobox medical condition with unknown parameters ↗, which I'm trying to reduce from its present 469 members (so that I can clean up the template). It only had 466 yesterday and it's quite frustrating trying to get the number down. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 21:47, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

::I previously read and understood the context of COI, and am fully aware of the biases I can have consciously and unconsciously. I would like to know who can possibly write an article on the topics I contributed to (basic species information) without having been educated somewhat of A) their existence, B) their use in research. I did not declare COI because I as I said, I am loosely connected, but I am not an active researcher in the field nor do I have an active relationship in the field. If this qualifies as COI, I admit I am unsure of exactly what I ''can'' write about on Wikipedia. Please advise on how I can continue writing on topics of which I am knowledgeable without being blocked by COI concerns.

::p.s. reading this... as text is void of inflection, please understand I am not trying to be snarky. I am just a bit perplexed where the line is between educated and unrelated vs. educated and related. Surely the degree of COI falls on a spectrum, where above some arbitrary threshold it can be deemed inappropriate. But this also implies below said arbitrary threshold it is appropriate. - Crawdaunt

::::Yes, Dr. Steve Perlman. However, if you look at the number of publications relating to D. neotestacea, you will find that a research group off-shooting from John Jaenike is responsible for almost the entirety of research related to D. neotestacea. It is not a highly competitive field. As far as I am aware, labs actively doing research with D. neotestacea include: John Jaenike's lab at the University of Rochester, Kellie Dyer's lab (former post-doc of Jaenike), and Steve Perlman's lab (former post-doc of Jaenike). I am happy to provide the google scholar search return for "D. neotestacea", which you will see returns results almost entirely from John Jaenike, Kellie Dyer, or Steve Perlman. Indeed, Jaenike is an author on every publication on the first three page of results directly related to D. neotestacea (owing to his starting in this field in the 1970s), many of which are co-authored with Dr. Steve Perlman pertaining to D. neotestacea*Spiroplasma*Howardula interactions. K. Dyer's lab and S. Perlman's lab also focus on population genetics in the species group. So pretty much all references to D. neotestacea with respect to Howardula, or Spiroplasma, are attached to J. Jaenike and/or S. Perlman. Please see Google Scholar search results, and particularly note in papers where D. neotestacea is in the title, the senior author is almost always either Jaenike, Perlman, or Dyer: https://scholar.google.ca/scholar?start=0&q=drosophila+neotestacea&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5

::::I wrote the H. aoronymphium page after seeing it referenced in the Drosophila falleni page, but H. aoronymphium had not yet been created. I mentioned D. neotestacea on the H. aoronmyphium page, and subsequently wrote a page for D. neotestacea as one was not yet written in English (though D. neotestacea had an entry in 6 other languages). I hope this clarifies the reason why the authors attached to J. Jaenike, S. Perlman, and K. Dyer appear so frequently in the D. neotestacea page. - Crawdaunt

Reference for "March hematuria ↗" /('''wikiproject med''')^

Hi, you have reverted ↗ my adding a reference for the existence of "march hematuria", which I merely copied from mechanical hemolytic anemia ↗.

::OK, this is interesting. Does this mean I should edit the lead for HIV/AIDS ↗, remove the three references, which are all older than 5 years old, which confirm that HIV causes AIDS, and add a "citation needed" instead? Somehow, I don't think that would improve that article. There are countless medical conditions which are no longer being studied because of advances in medicine or accepted medical knowledge, or other societal changes (for "march hematuria", for example, the replacement of marching with the use of better transportation methods in wartime) and there are no recent sources for them. Although MEDRS ↗ does not explicitly allow use of older references in this case, it hints at the necessity for them by saying that "History sections often cite older work". 192.118.27.253 ↗ (talk) 11:57, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;News

The WMF has announced ↗ that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool ↗. This may result in an increase in machine translated ↗ articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{tp|rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP ↗.

;Discussions of interest

Two elements of CSD G6 ↗ have been split into their own criteria: R4 ↗ for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion ↗), and G14 ↗ for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion ↗).

{{tl|db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 ↗ (Discussion ↗)

A discussion ↗ recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays ↗.

There is an ongoing discussion ↗ on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals ↗ and organism taxa ↗.

;Reminders

NPR is not a binary ''keep'' / ''delete'' process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The '''deletion policy''' ↗ and its associated guideline ↗ clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example ↗ of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index ↗. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

;NPP Tools Report

Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.

copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.

The NPP flowchart ↗ now has clickable hyperlinks.

List and thumb|left Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

I can see what you are trying to do on Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy ↗ with the list, namely having it not clash with the image on the left by manually adding indents with <code>:</code>. But manually positioning them with indents is not the way to do it: it makes life on other screen sizes, especially phones, miserable. There's currently no good solution to formatting lists with images floating on the left, and as something that goes down to the level of how browsers lays out text it's probably best to treat it as a bug we cannot fix now. (And honestly the fix does not work with all folks; I can't see any difference on my screen.)

In other words there is a trade-off between a minor visual itch for someone and seeing some huge empty space on the left for narrow-screen folks. I believe that the downsides of doing the indents outweights the potential benefits, so I removed it. I don't want to get into an revert war over ''this'', so...

CPVT order of sections Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia ↗ /('''wikiproject med''')^

Hi Ozzie

You recently reordered the section in the Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia ↗ article with an edit summary of MEDMOS. In my opinion, the sections were better ordered in this particular case with Mechanisms preceding Causes as this gives the reader the context of understanding why calcium cycling is important before a more technical description of the genes which perturb this process. I think that MEDMOS is flexible enough to allow this so I'm going to change it back. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, PeaBrainC (talk) 19:16, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

:: I quite agree that MEDMOS should be followed (but am loathe to say always about anything!). My reading of MEDMOS is that it does acknowledge that section order may vary depending on the needs of an individual article:

:::''A disease that is now only of historical significance may benefit from having its History section moved towards the top. Establishing the forms of the disease (Classification) can be an important first section. However, if such classification depends heavily on understanding the cause, pathogenesis or symptoms, then that section may be better moved to later in the article. If a disease is incurable, then the Prognosis section can be moved up, and a section called Management is more appropriate than Treatment.''

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR ↗. There is now also a live queue of AfC ↗ submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
;QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert ↗ for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors.
The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR ↗.

;Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

NPR is triage ↗, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which ''might'' have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
;Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA ↗ and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
;PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome ''if absolutely necessary'', but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
;Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators ↗ - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hi Ozzie10aaaa. I contact you because I published an article called "Scavenger endothelial cell" yesterday and I saw that you reviewed it. So I believe you are an experienced user and I would ask you one question (I am not experienced). In the article I published the same citation is used more than one time.

question/'''ebola'''5

Firstly, thank you for keeping the Kivu Ebola epidemic ↗ numbers up-to-date. Too few people are concerned about this epidemic.
You dropped me a note. I wasn't sure if it was telling me "become a medical contributor or hands off the article." I'm not a medical professional, and I don't even have a Wikipedia account. I'm just acutely concerned about the Kivu Ebola epidemic. I noticed a discrepancy between the case number in the source and the one on the page. So, I corrected it. I don't intend to make any other type of changes.

I do have a question for you if you are a doctor who has been following this epidemic. Regarding the Merck ebola vaccine, the current number of available doses appears to be inflated based on the idea that the filled vaccine bottles can be diluted and given to multiple patients. That's a finished biopharmaceutical product for injection. Is this type of dilution something doctors do like ever? I was only in Quality Assurance for two years at Chiron Corporation (later bought by Novartis), but I cringed inside even with my very limited experience. The clean room used to fill biopharmaceuticals for injection have like 100 to 1,000 particles per cubic meter of air in there. If any bacteria are discovered in the cleanest part of the clean room during filling, that lot gets rejected. How could these doses possibly be diluted safely? 98.220.227.229 ↗ (talk) 20:33, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading :File:DRC cases south and north kivu , ituri.jpg ↗. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags ↗ to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list ↗, click on this link ↗, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Mark Boguski ↗ /('''wikiproject med''')^

Note that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Talk:Mark Boguski ↗ has been closed as a malformatted nomination.
You listed the talk page, Talk:Mark Boguski ↗ (rather than the article itself) for the AfD. Presumably you meant to AfD the article itself but you did not follow instrucions. Talk pages should be listed for WP:MFD ↗ (not WP:AFD ↗), assuming you somehow do want the talk page itself deleted while the article retained. Also, when a page is listed for AfD or MfD, the appropriate tag needs to be placed at the page itself, with a link to the relevant deletion discussion. If you still want the article deleted, create a new AfD nomination, this time for the article itself, following the WP:AfD ↗ instructions. Note that if an article is listed for an AfD, the PROD tag should be removed. Also, please see my comments regarding the subject's notability at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Talk:Mark Boguski ↗.

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
right|120px ↗
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic '''300''' as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.

;Coordinator
A proposal is taking place '''here''' ↗ to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

;This month's refresher course
''Why I Hate Speedy Deleters ↗'', a 2008 essay by long since retired {{U|Ballonman}}, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

;Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

;Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN ↗ if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

;Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion

Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies ↗.

''Blank-and-Redirect'' is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

;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, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

;Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

{{noping|DannyS712 bot III}} is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log ↗.

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.

I'm a new editor on wikipedia, so would appreciate your help in understanding the notice on the above article ↗, and what I can do to improve it. The only words that are mine are in the introduction; the rest are a series of quotations, so I am not sure how to address this.

Your deletions and additions in the article on Nand Peeters ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

Dear Ozzie10aaaa,

On August 19, 2019, you trimmed the article on Nand Peeters ↗ (which I started) quite drastically, by over 6500 bytes. I assume good faith on your part, i.e., I assume you had reason to do so. But please assume good faith on my part, too, i.e., assume that I had reason to deem that information sufficiently relevant to insert it, and that it is correct.

As the author of the text you deleted, I would like to know your reason for deleting it. You do not justify your deletions; you merely indicate that you deleted information that I still think is relevant. Would you please be so kind as to explain you reason(s)?

I also noticed you inserted four “citation needed”-tags. I don’t see the reason of the third, for you inserted that at the end of a sentence in the middle of which there is a footnote giving the two sources of the stories the sentence is about. The other three come at the end of paragraphs which contain bits of information of various kinds, all culled from Van den Broeck 2014. I intend to put Van den Broeck 2014 first in the list of sources, and follow it by something like: “The main source; unless otherwise indicated, all information in this article derives from it.” That is far more informative than simply to replace these three “citation needed”-tags by references to certain pages in Van den Broeck 2014, which would account only for the information in the last sentences of the three paragraphs followed by these “citation needed”-tags.

I look forward to your reaction. Polla ta deina (talk) 20:19, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

::Dear Ozzie10aaaa,

::In Help:Referencing_for_beginners ↗ I find the answer to my problem about your third "reference needed"-tag, but not about my problem with the other three.
::The only section in Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles ↗ that could conceivably have anything to do with which information is relevant in Wikipedia is "Stay on topic", but that is not helpful in my case, since all the texts you deleted in Nand Peeters ↗ were unambiguously about Nand Peeters. I could not make head or tail of your text between brackets, for three reasons. One, you used the noun phrase ''another editor'', which, being indefinite, is a reference to an indefinite entity. Two, if it is no longer ''in mainspace'', where is it now? I don't know, so I cannot consult it. Three, what is the meaning of the compound ''mainspace''? I have never seen it. The absence of an article in front of it makes it a proper noun ↗ or a mass noun ↗, but that knowledge does not help me.

;Reviewer of the Year
right|200px ↗
This year's Reviewer of the Year is {{noping|Rosguill}}. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to {{noping|Onel5969}} who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to {{noping| Boleyn}} and {{noping|JTtheOG}} who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

;Redirect autopatrol
A recent Request for Comment ↗ on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early ↗. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors ↗ who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users ↗ whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by {{noping|DannyS712 bot III}}.

;Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide ↗ discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE ↗ prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page ↗ for more information.

;This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features) ↗. Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Fixing tables Immunotherapy ↗/{'''wikiproject med''')^

Hi Ozzie,

When you come across a malformatted table, like this ↗, it's a good idea to check the page history. Very often the problem will have been introduced in a recent edit, often the last edit to the page (eg ↗). That means you can easily fix the problem by reversion. That way you also repair any other damage that might have been done in the same edit.

Cheers and merry Christmas, Adrian '''J.''' Hunter(talk•contribs ↗) 22:33, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

further reversions at article on Western African Ebola virus epidemic/ '''ebola'''

A revert with no explanation of reason other than noting it is WP:GOODFAITH ↗ is insufficient; such a tactic is probably OK for removing vandalism; Yes, you are an expert on this subject, and yes, everyone praises your work here for good reason, but I also note that no-one reverts my edits on Wikipedia more than you do, and I think there are clearly issues around WP:OWNERSHIP ↗ that I think you need to be mindful of. The links provided to Ebola-related articles rather than a generic country article are appropriate; obviously I think they are more appropriate. Can you please discuss at the article talk page ↗ why you think links to the country article are more appropriate than links to the articles for that country on Ebola virus? Thanks.

As an aside, I'm back in Africa in two weeks time providing consulting and training to Barrick Gold at Moto Gold Mines ↗ in Haut-Uele ↗; however, instead of going to the mine site now, I only go as far as Entebbe and get the trainees to fly there instead.

Croydon typhoid outbreak of 1937 ↗/{'''wikiproject med''')^

Hi...Is this ↗ appropriate to add to list of epidemics ↗? There are probably hundreds of events like this and I didn't want to add small outbreaks amongst all the massive ones. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:47, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 
 
:the answer is yes(and no), recently I had this conversation.....
::''Shouldn't there be some criteria that needs to be met to show up on this list?''
::''For example, on the Epidemic ↗ page it states that an outbreak is considered an epidemic if the attack rate in excess of 15 cases per 100,000 people for two consecutive weeks.''

::''Some of these listing don't meet that standard. For example:''
::* ''17 deaths in India in 2018 from Nipah virus''
::* ''1 death in Mozambique in 2019 from Cholera''
::* ''The current coronavirus at 26 deaths. (The population of Wuhan China is 11.08 million)''

so should item just be deleted if no reference can be found in 5 years?(Encephalitis ↗)/('''wikiproject med''')^

first thanks on the info for health related sourcing on wiki. Even though i actually have degrees in the hard science, I ended up taking a different life path and haven't used that part of my brain in years. (some might say ever:)
If no reference for that comment has been found in 5 years, maybe it should be deleted. I did quite a bit of searching to find what i did and I'll have to revisit it to see if there was anything else at all on point, but I would seem to suspect there isn't. That being the case, would deleting be more appropriate because if it ever is substantiated more, then it'll find it's way back.

::::definitely not an asap item. my thought process was if in at least 5 years a source hasn't been id'ed, then maybe it's not factually correct and shouldn't be on the board. You're the expert so you definitely would know better than me whether it's something that's true but just needs a ref or if it's questionable and there's no ref to be found. I get the sense that you believe there's a reference so I'd guess it's the former. frankly the whole coronavirus thing to me deserves the bandwidth and probably many other things, so please please don't feel like i'm rushing you.

Hello {{u|Ozzie10aaaa}}, I just wanted to inform you that I have removed the citation needed ↗ tags from the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Illinois ↗ article. I am not sure if your edits were an oversight, but the information within those paragraphs were clearly referenced within the same paragraph. — ''Mr Xaero'' ☎️ 03:11, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 
 
:citations(references) go at the end of the sentence per this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Illinois&diff=953599528&oldid=953599128 ↗, my last edit on that article, can you point out which 'citation needed' did have a reference at the end of the sentence?...thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 03:19, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 
::Sorry, I may be missing something, but I couldn't find anything in that diff (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Illinois&diff=953599528&oldid=953599128 ↗) about where citations are supposed to go – can you clarify? MOS:CITEPUNCT ↗ also doesn't say they need to go at the end of sentences, but does provide examples with {{tag|ref}}s in the middle of sentences – is that incorrect? JohnnyMyself (talk) 12:11, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 
:::example from before I inserted 'cn'.....https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Illinois&diff=953586847&oldid=953546561 ↗..'' Officials announced that there were three new deaths related to the disease of which claimed the life of two men from Cook County that were in their 80s and a McLean County woman in her 70s. Jo Daviess, Livingston, Rock Island, and Stephenson counties all reported their first case of the disease on this day.''...where was the ref for this text?(its under 'March')
 
::::OK, I see, as in {{Diff2|953595446|this diff}}. I think {{no ping|Mr Xaero}} is saying the {{tag|ref|open}} earlier in that paragraph is the same source for the text you quoted; so in this example, do you mean that the same ref should also be repeated at the end of the paragraph?
 
:::as for reference placement.....''This page shows you three alternative ways to insert effective inline citations using 'ref tags'. Each results in a superscripted footnote number at the end of the relevant sentence, like this:[1] plus a correspondingly numbered reference (footnote) automatically appearing in the 'References' section near the bottom of the article. ''Help:Referencing_for_beginners ↗--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 
::::Right, thanks for pointing that out. But I notice it doesn't say that references ''must'' go at the end of the sentence – merely that that happens to be the ''result'' of those particular instructions. Plus, a few other things mentioned in that same guide add to the confusion:
::::{{Cquote|''Generally'' references are added directly after the information they support, at the end of the sentence...[emphasis added]|source={{slink|WP:REFB|Inserting a reference}}}}
::::{{Cquote|2. Position the editing cursor in the text where you want the numbered link to your citation to appear. This should be at the end of the relevant ''phrase, sentence, or paragraph'' that the citation is verifying...[emphasis added]|source={{slink|WP:REFB|Using refToolbar}}}}
::::{{Cquote|...the next step is to add an actual reference into the article text. The code to do this goes at the end of the relevant ''phrase, sentence, or paragraph'' to which the note refers...[emphasis added]|source={{slink|WP:REFB|Manual referencing}}}}
::::From these, it sounds like references are OK following a phrase in the middle of a sentence? Sorry for being pedantic – I'm fairly new to editing, and trying to learn how to do it correctly, but I'm still confused about this discrepancy, and just want to make sure I get it right. — JohnnyMyself (talk) 08:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Need help with the coronavirus ↗ article/ ('''wikiproject med''') ^

Ozzie, I need some help with the coronavirus article. I'd like to work on improving the South America section but when I try to edit it I'm having problems with the first paragraph. If I try to edit it using visual editing it becomes "blue" and I'm unable to work with it. When I try to edit it with the way I usually do it doesn't even turn up on my screen--only stuff from the second para and on shows. (The same thing happened on a few other world listing sections as well.) Can you help me figure it out? Gandydancer (talk) 18:54, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 
:Gandydancer the problem is some editors on the article are using Wikipedia:Excerpts ↗ as you can see looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COVID-19_pandemic&action=edit&section=38 ↗, personally I dislike 'excerpts' and don't touch them(Im not sure how to adjust the wording, Id have to figure out what other editors are doing). However what I did do was add a sentence after it--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 21:08, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

:took a second look their using Template:Excerpt ↗--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 21:35, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

::Ozzie, that is just mumbo-jumbo to me. I wonder if user:whatamIdoing ↗ could explain it to me -- I think that she helped to write visual editor and so must know about this as well. Any sort of fix must be very simple or I will not understand it. My hands are sort of tied if I can't figure out how to edit those sections. Gandydancer (talk) 21:50, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
:::User:Gandydancer, the way that you edit the first paragraph of COVID-19 pandemic#South America ↗ is by going to COVID-19 pandemic in South America ↗ and editing the lead. Anything inside the "onlyinclude" tags is automagically copied over to the main article. It looks like this edit ↗ by User:Ahecht set it up. (You'd think people wanted a full-fledged content management system ↗ instead of a wiki here.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:07, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I wouldn't say I set it up. I just tried to make it more efficient. If it were up to me, those sections would just be summarized in the COVID-19 pandemic ↗ article instead of using the fragile excerpt system. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 23:17, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
:::::to be ''frank'' I don't like them--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 23:19, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

OK, so good so far -- sorta. I did make some changes but I had wished that I could just wipe out all the copy and start over. Considering that the WHO has now called S.A. the epicenter it seemed like a good project. (Also, I feel some pity for them as they seem to be suffering from the same lack of good leadership that we in the U.S. are faced with.) Oz and WAID, I have a question that I'd usually ask on the talk page but not knowing anyone there I'm feeling a little shy... Do you guy know why the article lists Africa and Oceania separately under Pandemic by country? I would have thought they'd all be together under National responses. I dare say if I could have figured out how to change it I would have and let anyone complain if there actually was a reason. But it won't work when I try to do it with "normal" methods of editing. Thoughts?

8 National responses
8.1 Asia
8.2 Europe
8.3 North America
8.4 South America
9 Pandemic by country
9.1 Africa
9.2 Oceania

::Ozzie, I want you to know that I so often think of how good it was to work with you on the Ebola article -- we really made a good team, didn't we? With all the grief that we sometimes need to put up with here nothing is more important than feeling friendship and bonding with another special editor, IMO. OK, as for this article, do you know how to put them all together? Gandydancer (talk) 01:07, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

:Template:Excerpt is a big problem with COVID 19 artciles... definitely not conducive to new editors or keeping articles updated. They have talked about the problems on IRC. They were thinking when things settle down we can fix the main article to flow better and drop the plagiarist templates when stats stabilize.--Moxy ↗ 🍁 14:24, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
::it would be a good idea--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:28, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
:::I appreciate your input Moxy. It seems that no changes are expected for some time. If you've ever been in a similar situation you know that it is not easy to enter into a group of editors who have established a circle of those who are editing a fast-moving article, but this makes it impossible for me. After being an "insider" for so many years it is a new experience for me to essentially be locked out and I do feel bad about it... Gandydancer (talk) 14:54, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
::::: One of the problems we have is new fulltime editors not concerned with the ability to edit individual articles but rather consistency over many articles. This causes two problems.... discussions about change of content on wrong pages and coding that leads to ownership of articles by default. Its never a good thing to have to waste our time with chats of this nature. Cant find it now...but someone somewhere linked a CBS article about how our main pandemic article was very accurate and informative but reads like clip-its rather than an overall article. It's a bit embarrassing for an academic endeavor but these pages are still growing and will evolve on their own in time without Template:Excerpt when things stabilize and our medical editors copy edit the articles. As of now the article is dominated by non-medical editors and it's shows.... unfortunately many of us Old-Timers see the problem... but don't have the medical expertise to jump in. WP:Med will fix most problems over time but they're overwhelmed by enthusiastic new editors.--Moxy ↗ 🍁 15:16, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
::::::yes true...''have is new fulltime editors not concerned with the ability to edit individual articles ''... they lack ALOT of experience--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
:::::: (edit conflict) Again I so appreciate your input. I've worked on several fast-moving articles and the BP oil spill comes to mind here. If you have worked on something similar you know how one gets caught up in the breaking news -- like we are ''real'' NYT or WashPo journalists!! It is almost intoxicating. The other editors are our fellow journalists and we share a camaraderie with them as though we were out in the field working for a major news service. This can be a very good situation because, for example thinking back to the BP spill, one can spend several hours in research to produce only one line of copy. But you need a circle of editors that have learned to trust your edits and do not instantly jump in and challenge you. But it is bad if the established circle tries to keep other new editors out. I've never seen that happen but in this case where I do not understand the basics of how to edit I am less than equal to the other editors. It does not seem very fair to me. pinging user:WhatamIdoing ↗ Gandydancer (talk) 16:24, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Question about removed cite from Coronavirus disease 2019 ↗ symptoms table/ ('''wikiproject med''') ^

Hi, I was looking at the "Symptoms of COVID-19" table in Coronavirus disease 2019 ↗ and I noticed it had been tagged with citation needed, but in the history up until https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coronavirus_disease_2019&diff=prev&oldid=960286731 ↗ it seemed to have a citation that pointed to a page from the CDC providing the same info as listed in the table (minus apparently more technical phrasing for some of the symptoms); in that edit you replaced the ref with a citation needed tag.

I'm not an experienced editor and you appear to be so I figured there's likely some reason why the previous cite was unsatisfactory. Since I wasn't able to find any mention of it in the talk page and the edit summary was vague, I wanted to inquire about it to find out why the existing cite was unsatisfactory and what would be necessary to replace it.

Thanks! --Surinna (talk) 19:19, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Ain't microbiology ↗ better together? / ('''wikiproject med''') ^

Hi Ozzie10aaaa, I've seen edits from you pop up on a few microbiology articles recently, and I also bumped into your GA Hepatitis E ↗ last week. Any interest in working on an infectious disease article together? Many of the ID articles could use a bit of care, and it'd be nice to have the help of someone more medicine-interested (I'll admit I'm more interested in the molecular biology side of things than in the actual medicine...). I'm happy to push something towards GA (or FA if you're interested) or just cleanup and remove some <nowiki>{{citation needed}}</nowiki> tags. If you're interested, you pick the article and the goal, and I'll make some time. I hope you're doing well during these crazy times! All the best, Ajpolino (talk) 05:23, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

800px|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 {{noping|Rosguill}} who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to {{noping|JTtheOG}} and {{noping|Onel5969}} who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to {{noping|John B123}}, {{noping|Hughesdarren}}, and {{noping|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 {{noping|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
{{noping|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 {{noping|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.

Hi there, Ozzie10aaaa. We may have got off on the wrong foot at ArbCom, so I thought I'd try a different approach. You seem to have a very different experience of Flyer than I do. Since I understand that both of you are active MED editors, I was wondering if you could point me to any articles where you've collaborated, so I could see for myself why you have such a high opinion of her contribution?

{{collapse top|extended}}
:: The problem with that response, Ozzie, is that one is always supposed to raise concerns directly with the party first. Approaching you directly about concerns is more appropriate than posting something to the arbcase. I have a different concern than perhaps does {{u|Newimpartial}} about your evidence. I have edited around and alongside you for many years, have participated with you at WT:MED, WT:MEDMOS, and WT:MEDRS, and in articles, and in an arbcase, and having observed your characteristic edits and writing style, know that you have almost never, ever, anywhere on Wikipedia written something of that substance or in that style or that long. (And the edit count tool verifies this. Most of your longest contributions on Wikipedia are where you cut-and-paste between sections in your MEDMOS adjustments.){{pb}} I have to inquire whether the analysis you posted of Newpartial's evidence was written by you. Here is a more typical example ↗ of your writing. I would much prefer that you respond to that here on your talk page than to have to raise it on the arb pages. The serious problem this raises is that, since Flyer is not participating in this case, if the arbs were to think that you are proxying for Flyer, that would bring a lot of harm upon Flyer.

::::: Yes, Ozzie, the first example of your previous long post is the one I gave above, and is characteristic of your writing style when long. The second example also is characteristic of your posts, when short. There are distinctive elements to how you write, that are consisent. And I realize that you have defended Flyer before; that is OK, many people have, and that is not what I am questioning. My question is that I have never seen you write something like in the analysis of Newpartial's evidence, either in tone, substance or style, and I have edited with and around you for years. It would help if you can explain that difference, and I think it very important for Flyer that this gets cleared up. Regards, '''Sandy'''Georgia (Talk) 20:45, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
::::::As someone who has read very many of Flyer22's talk page posts, I can assure you that this is '''not''' Flyer22's style whatsoever.

It's to be expected that he would use less complex formatting like others do after the experience gained since before. '''Crossroads''' -talk- 20:50, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Interview request COVID-19 pandemic ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

Hello, Ozzie10aaaa!

My name is Daniel, and I’m a senior at Harvard University currently writing an undergraduate thesis about Wikipedia. I’m particularly interested in how the Wikipedia community decides what facts are relevant and/or notable enough to warrant inclusion on a particular article — especially in regards to articles on contentious topics.

I noticed that you’ve been quite active editing the “COVID-19 pandemic” article over the past few months. So, would you mind if I send you a few questions (via email or right here) about your work editing that article, and the approach that you take? I’d really love to hear from you.

Thanks so much! --Dalorleon (talk) 16:14, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 
:sure email is fine(however you should keep in mind that this is always a work done as a team, which means that while one editor may have done more edits, every editor counts), thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:56, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
::Just a note to Dalorleon, I have worked with Ozzie in the past, most extensively on the Ebola pandemic, and IMO Ozzie's ability to work as a team player is one of his most outstanding capabilities. In my experience at the COVID article a few, or perhaps one, editor took ownership of the article in the early stages of it's appearance here and that resulted in the lack of experienced editor's willingness to spend time helping to build the article. Eventually the editor that took charge of the article burned out and dropped away only to come back later and complain that no one was watching over the article and it had gone to crap. If articles are left to just go a little crazy in the early stages certain editors emerge that are willing to stick with the article long term to build a good article. I could go on but I will leave it at that. Gandydancer (talk) 20:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
:::Gandy thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the heads-up, Gandydancer! That's very helpful to know. --Dalorleon (talk) 22:35, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

:: Hello, Ozzie10aaaa!
:: Thanks so much for agreeing to speak with me. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to view user emails, so I'm posting my questions below; let me know if you need me to clarify any of them. You can respond right here, or send your replies to my email at danielleonard@college.harvard.edu — whichever works best.

:: 1) How long have you been editing Wikipedia? And how long have you been an active editor of the “COVID-19 pandemic” Wikipedia article?
:: 2) When adding content to the “COVID-19 pandemic” Wikipedia article, how do you decide what facts are relevant / notable enough to warrant inclusion?
:: 3) When removing content from the “COVID-19 pandemic” Wikipedia article, how do you decide what facts are irrelevant / non-notable enough to warrant deletion?
:: 4) Are there any particular Wikipedia policy / guidelines pages that you rely on to guide your editing? (Like “Wikipedia:Editing policy,” “Wikipedia:Writing better articles,” etc.)
:: 5) Do you feel that Wikipedia’s “official” editing guidelines are helpful, or do you generally ignore them? If you prefer forging your own path, do you feel that Wikipedia offers you that flexibility?
:: 6) Has adding or deleting content from the “COVID-19 pandemic” Wikipedia article ever brought you into conflict with another Wikipedian? If so, how were those disputes resolved?
:: 7) Do you identify more as an inclusionist, a deletionist, or neither / something else?

:: Thanks again for agreeing to help my research! Feel free to weigh in on anything I didn’t specifically ask in regards to your editing practices. I’m primarily curious to learn about what factors you consider when deciding what content ought to be added / removed from Wikipedia articles.
:: Finally, if I do include your responses in my thesis, would you prefer to remain completely anonymous, or can I include your username? I really appreciate it! --Dalorleon (talk) 22:35, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Help with removal of redirect/{{font color|blue|NPR}}

Hi Ozzie. I see you're doing admin work (you've recently dealt with a redirect set up by me, En Prat, thanks for that). There is a large number of editors interested in the article Khan al-Ahmar (village) ↗, Israel-Palestine issues are heavy like lead, I've finally got people to approve of something, but now it's stuck in a technicality. Maybe you can help me/us out? I have fully prepared a disambiguation page for Khan al-Ahmar ↗ ("the Red Inn"), it's all ready to go, but the address is blocked by a superfluous, counterproductive redirect: Khan al-Ahmar ↗ -> Khan al-Ahmar (village) ↗. The discussion and the material for the disambiguation page is ''here'' ↗. Once our "dean", Nishidani, has given his OK, those having reservations have all fallen in line. I'm not good with technical stuff, my removal request for the Khan al-Ahmar ↗ redirect might not be 100% "clean" according to Wiki templates, but it says all that it should. Could you please help out? Thank you! Best regards, Arminden (talk) 02:24, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Help in making a critical change to a Wikipedia page Histiocytoma ↗/'''(wikiproject medicine)^'''

The very brief page, histiocytoma ↗, lists myxofibrosarcoma as a type of histiocytoma and links myxofibrosarcoma to this page.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

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 ↗.

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE ↗.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page ↗, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers ↗ have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently {{NUMBEROFNEWPAGEPATROLLERS}} ↗ New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All {{NUMBEROFADMINS:R}} administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a ''good'' understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{tq|<nowiki>{{subst:NPR invite}}</nowiki>}} on their talk page.

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 and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. ↗ Sent 05:18, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion ↗ on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000{{efn|not including another ~6,000 redirects}} at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.{{efn|The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.}}

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers ↗ have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

;Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here ↗. 25px ↗ Barnstars will be awarded.

;TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG ↗ has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

;Misc
There is a new template available, {{txl|NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
:{{NPP backlog}}

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP ↗ recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

{{refbegin}}
;Reminders

Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page ↗ on your watchlist.

If you have noticed a user with a ''good'' understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{tq|<nowiki>{{subst:NPR invite}}</nowiki>}} on their talk page.

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 and its software.

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue August 2022 ↗
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators {{u|Buidhe}} and {{u|Zippybonzo}}, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to {{u|Dr vulpes}} who led with 880 points. See this page ↗ for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the '''other 600 reviewers''' to do more! Please try to do at least '''one a day'''.

;Coordination: {{u|MB}} and {{u|Novem Linguae}} have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. {{u|MPGuy2824}} will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

;Open letter to the WMF: The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements ↗). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here ↗. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

;TIP - Reviewing by subject: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

right|70px ↗
;New reviewers: The NPP School ↗ is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial ↗ exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page '''here''' ↗.

{{font color |blue| NPR}} Newsletter No.30

{{coltop|bg=#C32148|monthly newsletter}}

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},
thumb|right|120px ↗
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter ↗ finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of ''The Signpost'' ↗. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

'''Awards''': Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to {{Noping|MPGuy2824}}), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to {{no ping|John B123}} for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page ↗. Check out the new Hall of Fame ↗ also.

'''Software news''': {{Noping|Novem Linguae}} and {{Noping|MPGuy2824}} have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here ↗. The reviewer report ↗ has also been improved.
thumb|450px|right|NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022 ↗
'''Suggestions''':

There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".

Reminder: ''an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more.'' (from the NPP tutorial ↗)

Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.

This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

'''Backlog''':80px|left ↗ Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive ↗ to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Neurooncología in Spanish/'''(wikiproject medicine)^'''

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to {{noping|WaddlesJP13}} who led with 2084 points. See this page ↗ for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
;2022 Awards
74px|left ↗
{{no ping|Onel5969}} won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. {{no ping|Rosguill}} led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page ↗ and the Hall of Fame ↗. Congratulations everyone!

'''Minimum deletion time''': The previous WP:NPP ↗ guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR ↗). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed ↗ are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

'''New draftify script''': In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page ↗. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js ↗ or vector.js file from <code>User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js</code> to <code>User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js</code>

'''Redirects''': Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide ↗, this checklist ↗, and spend some time at WP:RFD ↗.

'''Discussions with the WMF''' The PageTriage open letter ↗ signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches ↗ in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as {{noping|Novem Linguae}} and {{noping|MPGuy2824}} have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference ↗ with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue April to June 2023 ↗
'''Backlog'''

'''Redirect drive''': In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with '''23851''' reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to '''0''' (momentarily). Congratulations to {{Noping|Hey man im josh}} who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by {{noping|Meena}} and {{noping|Greyzxq}} with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page ↗ for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

'''Redirect autopatrol''': All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here ↗.

'''WMF work on PageTriage''': The WMF Moderator Tools team ↗, consisting of {{noping|Samwalton9 (WMF)|label1=Sam|JSherman (WMF)|label2=Jason|SCardenas (WMF)|label3=Susana}}, and also some patches from {{noping|Jon (WMF)|label1=Jon}}, has been hard at work updating PageTriage ↗. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test ↗ where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed ↗, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR ↗ when we are ready for beta testers.

'''Articles for Creation (AFC)''': All new page reviewers are now '''automatically approved''' for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP ↗ like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script ↗, visit Special:Preferences ↗, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed ↗, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR ↗. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional ↗, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

On 1 October, a one-month backlog drive for New Page Patrol will begin.

Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled.

Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive.

Articles will earn 3x as many points compared to redirects.

'''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.

Six-planet resonance ↗/'''''AFC'''''

I'm a bit concerned that you promoted this article, not so much because of the multiple grammar and spelling errors and overlinking, but because the image clearly has an invalid attribution to the article editor, and on the Planet S site ↗ appears to have a non-commercial licence, so there is a copyright issue. Don't we normally sort out these things before promotion? Thanks Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:15, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue January to March 2024 ↗

'''Backlog update:''' The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to {{no ping|Schminnte}}, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to {{no ping|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion ↗.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

'''2023 Awards'''

{{no ping|Onel5969}} won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. {{no ping|Hey man im josh}} led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page ↗ and the Hall of Fame ↗. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

'''WMF work on PageTriage:''' The WMF Moderator Tools team ↗ and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October ↗, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November ↗. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed ↗, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October ↗. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

'''Recruitment:''' A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

'''Reviewing tip:''' Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser ↗ tool.

'''Reminders:'''

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord ↗.

Consider adding the project discussion page ↗ to your watchlist.

RNU4-2 Syndrome/'''''AFC'''''

Hello

I am fairly new to Wikipedia. You declined my draft article Draft:RNU4-2 Syndrome ↗ on the grounds that the phrase RNU4-2 Syndrome does not appear in PubMed. However, a search does return 3 results, these are to two papers and a pre-print. See here ↗. The proposed article cites the two publications describing the disorder. This is a new disorder only just discovered and neither publication proposes a name. RNU4-2 Syndrome is the most parsimonious choice of name, because the disorder is caused by mutations in the gene RNU4-2.

Hi Ozzie10aaaa,
You've been assigned as my mentor and I have a question for you. I just started creating a page for an artist named Dunja Evers. I was formatting everything properly but when I clicked "Publish Changes", I received the message "Someone else has changed this page since you started editing it, resulting in an edit conflict.". Unfortunately, none of my edits were saved. So what I did now is put this at the top of the page "<nowiki>{{:AfC submission/draft}} {{:AfC submission|||ts=20240726110204|u=Créaturesastrales|ns=3}}</nowiki>", i.e. my draft is now awaiting review, which as you know may take up to 4 months. Should I now go back to formatting the page accordingly, or will my changes be lost again once I hit "Publish Changes"? Thanks for your help! --Créaturesastrales (talk) 11:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Prosjo (21:40, 14 August 2024)'''''{{resize|150%|Mentorship ↗}}'''''

Hello I'm very new here but a subject that I looked at refers to
chaser "The smartest dog in the world" kind of bothered me somewhat as to what the title was based on. Upon researching "Intelligence" on Wikipedia; memory alone would not rate this title.

chaser was indeed taught to remember an incredible amount of object's by his owner who happens to be a psychologist and I think the title was more for his efforts. Fluid Intelligence is more of an indicator than memory and there is a better subject for that title in "Jim the Wonder Dog"; who demonstrated his Intelligence on his own merit although it was indeed on a realm beyond our own understanding. His ability cannot be denied due to the studying that was done to confirm his abilities. Who bestows the titles given? Just wondering

Substitution'''''{{resize|150%|Mentorship ↗}}'''''

Hey - I just came across a message from you at User talk:EntrepreneurFirst, where you left them a friendly welcome in the form of Template:Mentor welcome ↗. I'm afraid I just blocked them for username violation combined with promo, but that's not why I'm here. Maybe it was a one-off slip, but you didn't substitute that template when you applied it to the page - that did some weird things when I was looking at it, and probably would have done similar to the recipient. If you often use that template, can you make sure you type out <nowiki>{{subst:Mentor welcome}}</nowiki> in future? Cheers, and apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs. Girth Summit (blether) 14:47, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

:Actually, never mind - I did a bit more digging, and I see that AnomieBOT goes round substituting them for you - it was just a coincidence that I arrive to block them a couple of minutes after you left them the message. Girth Summit (blether) 14:50, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Concerning New Articles on Genes Involving Original Research?/'''''AFC'''''

Good morning Ozzie10,

I am concerned about some of the new articles on genes that are being created. Examples include the recently approved RASGEF1C ↗ and Draft:Chromosome 17 open reading frame 107 ↗, although I have seen others. Since I am a new editor and your were involved in the RASGEF1C approval, I'm writing to you to express some of my concerns.

Both articles have highly similar structures, despite being created by two different editors. Both, for example, have sections about protein paralogs, divergence over time, and protein orthologs in other species. Based on the userpage of User:Evansella, this is because these Wikipedia articles are being created by students for a statistics class.

It appears that these students were assigned to perform a certain analyses on proteins that are not well characterized in the literature, then post their findings to Wikipedia. For example, both generated plots of protein divergence over time Draft:Chromosome 17 open reading frame 107#/media/File:C17orf107ProteinDivergence.png ↗. RASGEF1C#/media/File:RASGEF1C Corrected Species Divergence.png ↗

In my opinion, this is not appropriate for Wikipedia because substantial portions of the article involve original research, violating WP:NOR ↗. Worse, this original research is done by inexperienced students and is not peer reviewed. Many of the citations in these articles do not reference appropriate review articles, but instead refer to online bioinformatics tools used to generate the information. (For example: "ebi" ↗. ''www.ebi.ac.uk''.) Since these require technical expertise to use correctly, they cannot be used by most users to verify the claims made in the article and are not appropriate sources.

Maybe I've misunderstood the Wikipedia standards, in which case I hope you can clarify.

<nowiki>Thank you ~~~</nowiki> Jared BioE (talk) 14:16, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

:P.S. Apologies if this comes across as too formal and thank you for taking the time to review new gene articles for creation -- I know there appears to be quite a backlog of articles currently. I just wanted to speak with you first to try to understand what was going on or if I am just misunderstanding wiki rules before complaining on the talk pages of the article(s) in question. Jared BioE (talk) 14:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
 
 
::Jared BioE, thank you for bringing this to my attention, as to the draft in question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Chromosome_17_open_reading_frame_107# ...I have declined it. In terms of RASGEF1C ↗ I believe it meets the minimum bar for approval(other reviewers can always tag or delete. though I think it merits an article), feel free to post with further concerns, and thank you Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:31, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
 
 
:::Ozzie -- Ok, I grant you that the gene itself merits an article based on a quick pubmed review. I suppose other issues can be more appropriately addressed through letting the article go through the normal revision process to remove work violating WP:NOR ↗.I personally prefer gene articles to exist, allowing easy editing and improvement, even if they have problems. Thank you. Jared BioE (talk) 01:07, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

CN tags at progesterone ↗/('''wikiproject med''')^

I saw you added about a dozen citation needed tags to the linked article. When I checked a couple of the preceding references, I found that they verified the information you added the tag to. I think the article writers used a citation format common in academia where the first sentence relating to the information is cited and what follows comes from the same source. Do you have time to go back and check if this is the case for the rest of your tags? It would save the time of editors looking for unreferenced statements. HansVonStuttgart (talk) 11:20, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
 
 
:Hi HansVonStuttgart, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources , " is usually sufficient to add the citation to the end of the clause, sentence, or paragraph, so long as it's clear which source supports which part of the text"..., however I will lookout for this type of reference(at the start of sentence/paragraph), thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 19:04, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from Jet Tamayo on User talk:Jet Tamayo (05:35, 31 May 2025)'''''{{resize|150%|Mentorship ↗}}'''''

Hi Ozzie10aaaa,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I recently received a warning from another user, OhNoitsJamie, who said I made disruptive edits related to the Jeff Bezos page. However, I believe there was a misunderstanding.

My intention was to edit the page about Jeffy from SML, not Jeff Bezos. I might have made a mistake with the page title, but I wasn’t trying to vandalize anything. I’ve apologized already and I want to make sure I follow Wikipedia’s guidelines correctly moving forward.

Since you’re my assigned mentor, I wanted to ask if you could please advise me on what to do next. Should I leave the situation alone, or is there a way I can properly clear this up?

Thank you for your help and for volunteering your time!

—Jet Tamayo --Jet Tamayo (talk) 05:35, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
: I've alreay addressed this on your talk page. No one accused you of editing the Jeff Bezos page. You were warned to stop trying to add anything about SML to the Jeffy ↗ page, period, because that topic is salted ↗ from Wikipedia.

IP's soundtrack articles/'''''AFC'''''

Hi Ozzie, do you have any concern over the IP reverting your removal of reviews from the new articles on soundtrack albums after your acceptance and publishing of them? For example, before you moved Just Mercy (soundtrack) ↗ to mainspace, you removed this review by ''New University'' ↗, but the IP adds it back in and they're never taken back out.

Hello! I was trying to research the history of sexual violence in America and came across an article that seemed interesting/relevant, but I opened it and it seems like half the thing has been nuked by anonymous editors.

Asthma ↗, HIV/AIDS ↗ and Meningitis ↗ are all in need of some tender love and care, with a median source date between 2008 and 2011. Many clinical guidelines note changes from earlier versions, so updating diagnosis and management sections may be doable even if you have less time on your hand.

Interested in which articles were most edited recently? That feature is back ↗ after a year hiatus. Recently, the Discussion overview ↗ stopped working. Can you help get it fixed or replace it?

Mentor confusion'''''{{resize|150%|Mentorship ↗}}''''' ==

Hi, Ozzie. I see you edited the page User talk:Muhurto using the template <nowiki>{{Mentor welcome}}</nowiki> so that it looked like this: Special:Permalink/1323909680 ↗. (Or else your edit happened automatically because you appear on a list of willing mentors — I'm not sure which.) Then User:Drm310 added a speedy deletion template, which had the effect of changing the mentor's name in your message from Ozzie10aaaa to Drm310! Finally I edited the page to add a block template, and that changed the mentor's name to Bishonen! Clearly, the template is set up to always display the name of the user who edited the page last, and the changes are caused by the fact that you didn't substitute the template, which should always be done (see the description page Template:Mentor welcome ↗). Could you please go back to the page and replace <nowiki>{{Mentor welcome}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{subst:Mentor welcome}}</nowiki>? I don't think I'd better do it myself, as that would probably leave the name of their mentor as Bishonen.

I see from your contribs that you have done the same at a number of other pages, so could you please go to those as well and make the subst change? Otherwise we'll be in for trouble there too, as soon as somebody else edits them. Bishonen | tålk 13:30, 24 November 2025 (UTC).
:PS: I see AnomieBOT has now substed the template, which means it reads properly (with your name as the mentor). That took a while, but apparently it's eventually done automatically. In other words, you don't need to bother with any of the above. The other mentees you have welcomed will presumably be taken care of by the bot too, if they haven't been already. So all is good! Please make a habit of substing the template in the future, though, so that the pages don't have to wait for the bot to function correctly. Bishonen | tålk 15:10, 24 November 2025 (UTC).

Mentor welcome templates

Hi, Ozzie10aaaa, I notice you have been welcoming mentees since mid-2023. Wow, thanks for that, and bravo! I just signed upas a mentor recently, and found the sole welcome template, {{t|Mentor welcome}}, wanting. So, I have created {{t|Welcome mentee}} and started to use that one. Feel free to use it as well, and to make suggestions on its talk page. I am active in the Welcoming committee ↗, and I think we need a selection of mentor templates available to us to choose from; spare ones like {{t|Welcome}}, graphical ones for some users like {{t|Welcome to Wikipedia}}, and others. In some cases, it might be sufficient simply to add a mentor or Homepage link to some of the existing templates. So, any ideas you have on this would be appreciated. Also, I only have two mentee questions so far, but I see that you have lots of them. Any tips you can offer would be appreciated, as I expect the volume will start to ramp up as time goes on. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 10:56, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
 
 
:Hi Mathglot, as to your first question you could incorporate to the current {{t|Welcome mentee}} links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest I think that's all that is needed...IMO,

:as to the second question, the new editor needs to feel welcomed(that they are not alone when they are confused or don't know who to turn to with a question)...for this reason I always put"should you have further questions feel free to ask, thanks, Ozzie"...its more 'person-oriented' and not 'official-like', I guess its taking the extra step to retain the new editor,thank you Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:45, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
:: Thanks for your feedback! Regarding links: I'm going to hold off on adding more for the moment, to avoid it getting too long, and also to establish some sort of consensus for the links set; I can see a good argument especially for COI, as that is a trap that new users fall into all the time, trying to get themselves or their garage band "a profile" on Wikipedia. Regarding "further questions": I am always very concerned with editor retention, which is why I got signed on as a mentor in the first place, and why I created {{t|welcome mentee}}. I agree that the message wording should end up with encouraging them to ask questions, and the only issue for me, is what is the wording most likely to do that. I think something like your formula of
::: {{xt|should you have further questions feel free to ask, thanks, MentorName}}
:: is fine, and it could be programmed to do that. (Or, you can do it yourself, simply by using param {{para|customend}}.) To find accurate data on exactly what wording is most effective requires A–B testing ↗ (or something more complex), and while Wikimedia has tools to do this, it would be somewhat expensive (in time, and effort) to arrange that for a simple template. In choosing the wording I did, namely this:
::: {{xt|So go ahead and ask questions — we’re here to help!}}
:: I am relying on some classic marketing studies that shows that an imperative call to action ↗ at the end of an advertisement ("Buy now!"; "Call now!") is more effective in some contexts than one that does not have it, and mixed that with an exhortatory, but encouraging and friendly tone. What do you think? I would certainly consider improvements to it, and as I said, you can always add your own phrase, either just after the template but before your sig, or inside it, with the param. The template belongs to the project community of course, and not to me, and consensus will determine its content in the end. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:49, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
 
:::Mathglot, to be frank...''classic marketing studies that shows that an imperative call to action at the end of an advertisement ("Buy now!"; "Call now!") is more effective in some contexts than one that does not have it, and mixed that with an exhortatory, but encouraging and friendly tone'' ...seems like a very good idea, I don't think I (or anyone) could improve on that. I will however look at some additional/alternate phrases that may be a good idea to add, thanks Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:21, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
 
 
Update: I don't know if you've run into this situation, but even if I sit on my dashboard and jump on a new mentee as soon as they are listed, a good part of the time they have already been welcomed by somebody else using a standard welcome template. (This appears to be related to some delay ↗ in mentees appearing on the dashboard.) I still want to introduce myself to my mentee, but not with either of the two mentor templates we have now because they are too long and would duplicate a lot of the information in a standard welcome. So, I created {{t|welcome mentee brief}} for this situation, i.e., to briefly introduce yourself as their mentor. And it even has an option to say, {{xt|I'd ''also'' like to welcome you...}} so it flows better after the first welcome. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:33, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
 
 
:Mathglot, I would say this is a great idea {{t|welcome mentee brief}}, I will therefore be using it going forward, thank you) Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:58, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello Ozzie, I just posted a comment to the user who rejected my edits on the Purina Wikipedia page. I’m attaching it here—if you can help me, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Hello Dialectric,

How are you?

I’m a student working on a project aimed at improving a Wikipedia page, in this case Nestlé Purina Petcare Europe. For this reason, I’m trying to edit the page. The information I’ve gathered comes from researching Purina’s history and its official sources, which are completely reliable. My intention is not to promote the brand, but to add details that are currently missing from the page, providing additional information rather than removing existing content.

I’ve noticed that information is often rejected when it cites Purina’s own website, but this is the only reliable source that explains certain details, such as the creation of the Purina Institute or the countries where it operates. There is also other non-promotional information that is cited by Purina. In these cases, how can I proceed so that my contributions are not rejected?

Thank you for your attention, --Amr24amr06 (talk) 09:23, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Happy New Year from WikiProject Medicine. Last year was tumultuous, with large language models competing for readers’ attention. These models often sound authoritative despite frequent hallucinations. They are however effective at writing in clear, accessible language ↗, something research shows we often fail to achieve in medical articles. One of the goals of the Vital Signs 2026 campaign ↗ is to ensure that our top-importance articles are understandable, as this is one of the six B-class criteria they should meet.

Thanks to {{noping|Earwig}}, recent article talk discussions are updated again at WP:MED ↗, so you never miss an interesting discussion. Our participant list is working too!

The Vital Signs campaign ↗ has kicked off. We've already removed misinformation from breast cancer ↗, updated the management section of asthma ↗, and assessed what needs to happen at autism ↗. Can you help too?

* Adopt an article, fix obvious mistakes, and assess if it now meets the B-class criteria in the progress table ↗

* Help out with any of the smaller tasks, such as ensuring that the new ICD-11 ↗ codes are included, or updated the disease frequency and mortality with the Global Burden of Disease ↗ study, published last October.

I have a private collection of over 300 Nobuyoshi Araki publications , being the largest private collection as far as I know.

I have set up an Instagram profile under nobuyoshi_araki_ with thumbnails of all of these publications which continues to grow as my collection grows.

These is no other resource like this that shows this many of his publications for people to reference.

Update to Welcome mentee template

Hi, Ozzie, and thanks for continuing to welcome your mentees. The latest update to template {{t|Welcome mentee}} adds support for new users who are Wiki Ed students enrolled in a North American university course that partners with the Wiki Education program. These students edit Wikipedia as part of their regular coursework, monitored both by their instructor and by Wiki Ed staff. When you welcome a mentee who is also a Wiki Ed student, you may notice a new paragraph in the welcome message—example here, and doc here ↗. No new parameter or usage change is required on your part; this operates fully automatically. It appears to be working fine, but be aware of the possibility of issues or bugs, and please report any problems on the Template talk page. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 02:28, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from Gaboredia68 on Fleishman Is in Trouble ↗ (15:04, 23 January 2026)'''''{{resize|150%|Mentorship ↗}}'''''

Hi, I have an issue with the connection between the line "criticized the characterization in the book" and the quotation immediately afterwards. While Hymowitz does express ambivalence in her article about the book's clarity in its portrayal of the issues in question, that particular quote is a critique of the book's reviewers rather than the book itself.

Checking Automated Edits/'''(wikiproject medicine)^'''

Hi Ozzie, I patrol :CAT:MISSFILE ↗ and have noticed several of your recent AutoEd edits have broken images by altering file names. The edits are usually changing the type of apostrophe or quotation marks. Here is one example ↗ from this morning. Just wanted to give a friendly reminder to please double-check your script-assisted edits in the future so they aren't unintentionally breaking images. One tool that I use to help me is coding my CSS page to highlight and bold any red-linked images. It would allow for any images broken by the script-assisted edits to easily stand out upon a quick scroll-through of the page after making your edit. Thanks so much for all you do on Wikipedia! Cheers, Katniss ''May the odds be ever in your favor ♥'' 14:44, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
 
 
:Hi KatnissEverdeen thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will be very mindful going forward, so as not to make the same mistake again, Ozzie

Your decline at Draft:Amycolatopsis mediterranei ↗/'''''AFC'''''

Hi Ozzie10aaaa, I saw your decline of the above draft, but wanted to double check if you meant to decline it? The draft is referenced, and needing a copy edit isn't usually a basis for declining per WP:AFCSTANDARDS ↗. nil nz 01:52, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

{{no ping|Hey man im josh}} and {{no ping|MPGuy2824}} won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.

'''PageTriage'''

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard

Hi, Ozzie10aaaa. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard ↗! We've interacted before, a bit, in connection with Mentorship, but mostly I get the impression that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, as the case may be, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Look forward to seeing you there! Mathglot (talk) 08:31, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
 
 
:Hi Mathglot, seems like a good idea(have posted there) thank you for reaching out, Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:00, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
 
 
::Ozzie, thanks for your response ↗ at the WP:MNBSURVEY ↗. You mentioned there not being sure how many welcomes you had placed, and this Cirrus search ↗ shows how many you placed in 2026. This link is an easy modification of the search generated by {{t|find substed templates notice}}, and I'd love to generalize it by adding a param to that template so you can find any mentor's welcomes, but there are technical obstacles to doing so. But the search link works if you substitute any editor's name into the search bar. Hope you find this interesting, and thanks again for all your work with your mentees and on the noticeboard.

Question from TheLuckyGeneral.AU (02:37, 7 July 2026) '''''{{resize|150%|Mentorship ↗}}'''''

Hello

Thank you for being my mentor.

About 15 years ago one of your colleagues created an entry about me. It sat there for a long time before I attempted, unsuccessfully, to update it slightly. In the end I decided to just delete it. But now I'd like to have it reinstated.

I understand I have to make some sort of declaration or have another editor replace it for me. What do you suggest I do?

Thanks --TheLuckyGeneral.AU (talk) 02:37, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
