January 2025

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. I have noticed that you {{usertalk other|often ↗|often}} edit without using an edit summary ↗. Please do your best to '''always fill in the summary field'''. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences ↗. Thanks!  Legend of 14 (talk) 19:01, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

:Hi - I have made over 250,000 edits on Wikipedia. No, I don't always leave an edit summary, but I generally do, at least in article space. I often don't use edit summaries on talk pages. I won't change this practice. Thank you, '''<span style="color: #880088;">PK</span><span style="color: #449900;">T<small>(alk)</small></span>''' 20:47, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Adding class=redirect to banners

Hey, there is no need to add {{para|class|redirect}} to banner pages. In fact, that is unhelpful as the bot will then do another edit to remove it. The banners automatically know if their parent page is a redirect or not. If a page was just moved, a WP:Null edit ↗ is all that is needed. Gonnym (talk) 17:15, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Scout Exchange

Hello @PKT

I saw that you once edited the article "Scouting in Kyrgyzstan."
So I wanted to ask if you have any contact with Scouts from Kyrgyzstan?
I'm a Scout from Germany and will be in Kyrgyzstan for four weeks in July with a group of eight other Scouts. We hope to meet Scouts from there. However, we don't have any contact details yet.
Could you help?

Best wishes,

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Alexander Mackenzie High School ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Alexander Mackenzie High School ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''As you can see above, there is an unresolved additional citations tag from 2009. It has not been resolved because the subject does not have any WP:SIGCOV ↗ in any WP:INDEPENDENT ↗ sources. There are extensive mentions in the school's own website and the York Region District School Board ↗'s websites. However, those aren't independent. When scouring Google Books, all I could find were passing mentions. Some of these weren't independent sources, some were works of fictions (just with the same name as the subject), and others were lists. On Google Scholar, I could find unrelated works created by students of the school. On Google News, it was much the same as Google Books in the sense that I could not find significant coverage. Most were just passing mentions. Some notable examples: https://www.yorkregion.com/news/richmond-hill-neighbours-fight-back-after-change-excludes-them-from-bayview-secondary-school/article_e1ae26ff-1e47-5eaa-9a45-6c2a723c8a69.html ↗; https://www.yorkregion.com/news/richmond-hill-students-teachers-tear-apart-rebuild-cop-car/article_cccd30d5-52df-5dfa-9a43-70d37f719622.html ↗; https://www.yorkregion.com/news/richmond-hill-students-are-top-scholars/article_34e3a789-816f-5b78-bc3f-3239f5bdcf72.html ↗; https://www.yorkregion.com/news/richmond-hills-alexander-mackenzie-high-school-locks-down-when-automated-announcement-inadvertently-triggered/article_6210666a-ebfe-5e34-8ebc-cf0ef8cd9aec.html ↗; https://www.theobserver.ca/2018/02/08/idea-lab-at-alexander-mackenzie-high-school-expanding ↗; https://www.yorkregion.com/news/alexander-mackenzie-high-school-students-host-finale-graduate-art-show-in-richmond-hill/article_47e6ad9a-8390-5ed2-b0fc-5aad4d6194c3.html ↗. If we were to construct a page using these, I think it would violate WP:NOTNEWS ↗ and WP:INDISCRIMINATE ↗. Does not meet WP:GNG ↗ or WP:NSCHOOLS ↗, removing this without rationale will prompt me to use articles for deletion, so don't prolong the inevitable ↗'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history ↗ for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:31, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points.

The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026.

The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability.

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

Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants.

Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points.

Streak awards ↗ will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds.

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

Interested in participating? '''Sign up here ↗'''.

Nongtalang College ↗ moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Nongtalang College ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it has no sources''' and '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:47, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

:I have no idea what this is about. I've never heard of Nongtalang College. I found that the article has been restored to mainspace now, and if you check its history you don't see any contributions to it by me. ........

'''Backlog update'''

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

'''2024 and 2025 NPP Awards'''

74px|left ↗{{no ping|JTtheOG}} was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.
{{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.

{{no ping|BoyTheKingCanDance}}, {{no ping|Rosiestep}}, {{no ping|SunDawn}}, and {{no ping|Vanderwaalforces}} were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame ↗ for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

'''January–February backlog drive'''

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to {{no ping|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

'''May backlog drive'''

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.

'''Reminders:'''

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

Consider adding the project discussion page ↗ to your watchlist.
