New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Majash2020! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you. If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only. If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it. Please click HERE to take part. Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

Hi there,

I am working on the Alice cooper album page Detroit Stories and was wondering what kind of information you had sourced on release and information surrounding the conception of the album, as I have found it particularly difficult to find information in this field. Any help is much appreciated, thanks

Michael Mingay.

Peter Cooper - Concert PianistRozarella (talk) 23:13, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there,

I submitted the Peter Cooper article on behalf of my father who was a lose friend. He has asked me to send you the following:

There are numerous entries to Peter in Google they should look at. I ought to have mentioned that he is the author of a book entitled 'Style in Piano Playing' (ISBN 0 7145 3512 5) published by John Calder in 1975. That edition was in hardback and is out of print but the paperback is still available I believe. I don't have its ISBN but could get hold of it if Misplaced Pages insist. I have a few concert programmes and could supply photocopies as I am not keen to let them have originals and also a recording of a 60 minute radio programme on Peter's life and work transmitted by N.Z. Radio several years ago. Incidentally, it includes my dulcet tones!

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Ros Coward

Proposed deletion of 2015 Sports Media Awards

The article 2015 Sports Media Awards has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication that the Sports Media Awards are a notable award (no article), or that this particular instance of them is independently notable. Zero independent coverage of them located on a search.

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

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:39, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

Hello Majash2020,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
