Hello! Your submission of Komboni at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!

I see you have claimed points for three DYKs on your submissions page at the WikiCup. The rule that applies to DYKs is "Points cannot be granted until the article has actually been featured on the main page. Merely being approved by a reviewer does not count."[1] So these articles do not qualify at the moment but will qualify for points when they have actually appeared on the main page. I have removed your score for the time being, so resubmit the DYKs after you get a notification on your talk page that they have been featured. There's plenty of time yet in this round!

Hello ONUnicorn,

A HUGE backlog

We now have 812 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hello ONUnicorn,

Voting for coordinators has now begun HERE and will continue through/to 23:59 UTC Monday 06 March. Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed.

Still a MASSIVE backlog

We now have 812 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.

Hello, I'm not sure if you remember but in late 2015 you discussed with me a proposed edit request to update the Marsy's Law article. That old request was completed by another editor, but I was wondering if you could assist with a new edit request on the page. I have asked for a couple small updates to reflect that similar Marsy's Laws have been approved in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. You can see the edit request on Marsy's Law's Talk page. I have a financial conflict of interest (I work at Mac Strategies Group and am posting as part of my work there on behalf of Marsy's Law For All) so I am aware I should not edit the article. Can you review this request? Thank you.

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:

• Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
• Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
• 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
• Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

You must be an American, since over here (Europe) the notability of Lagaffe (as a character) isn't in question and a short google search would have revealed it. See for instance the Libération celebrating his 60th birthday France Culture celebrating the perannial hippie and even in Montreal he's so well known there's a quiz about him. 18:36, 14 March 2017 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kleuske (talk • contribs)

I am indeed an American, but that has nothing at all to do with whether or not the article demonstrates his notability independent of the fictional work in which he appears. The comic is undoubtedly notable. The article on the character was copy-pasted word for word from the article on the comic. It cited no sources. It did not demonstrate the character's notability. On Wikipedia, the word "notable" means something a little different from what it means off-line. Moreover, a topic can be notable without the article sufficiently demonstrating that fact. If an article does not sufficiently demonstrate that the topic is notable, the article has no business being on Wikipedia. In this instance, the character is covered adequately by the parent article, which provides a greater context for understanding the topic; hence the redirect is more appropriate than a stand alone article. Does that make sense? ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 18:49, 14 March 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-14T18:49:00.000Z","author":"ONUnicorn","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-ONUnicorn-2017-03-14T18:49:00.000Z-Gaston_Lagaffe","replies":["c-Kleuske-2017-03-14T19:01:00.000Z-ONUnicorn-2017-03-14T18:49:00.000Z"]}}-->

Reading back I regret I started out like that. The article being c/p-ed was the reason I didn't revert you and I agree a C&P-job doesn't add anything. I advised the author to write an article in his sandbox (plenty of sources around). Nevertheless, per WP:GNG, it is the topic that's notable, whether or not the the article is any good has no effect on notability. The sources above (which talk about the character, not the comic), show there's sufficient notability. There's a ton more out there.

Because it appeared to be a duplicate article. It's undesirable to have two articles about one thing (American football in Brazil). Especially when both articles are in bad shape. Although, now that you ask that and I have taken a second look at both articles, perhaps it would be better to merge the content from American Football Association of Brazil to American football in Brazil and make it a large subsection, rather than the other way around (as was done). That said, the sourcing on both articles is atrocious.

Thank you for pointing that out - they aren't really about the same thing. American football in Brazil should give an overview, whereas American Football Association of Brazil is just about one football association (albeit the largest and most important one). I've undone the redirect. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 15:04, 16 March 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-16T15:04:00.000Z","author":"ONUnicorn","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-ONUnicorn-2017-03-16T15:04:00.000Z-Luizengmec-2017-03-16T10:37:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Fixed the Shepardson ones. I kinda think the DAB page is the best target for Accession at the moment though.

Thank you!

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:

• Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
• 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
• Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
• Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hello ONUnicorn,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 812 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE.

The statement's not perfect but it'll do for now. You just need to answer the questions.

Well that went well! Swimmingly, in fact! I'm extatic to see you pass with such flying colours! Fair warning: most admin work is not that exciting and the most gratitude you're likely to get for it is a quiet (sometimes grudging) respect. But if you need anything—from a quick sanity check to "what have I let myself in for?"—don't hesitate to drop me a note or shoot me an email. By the way, I know you don't like automation, but if you find yourself doing lots of repetitive tasks, you'd be amazed at how much simpler some javascript can make your life.

Well, I can't find them now so I guess it was just me. There were a couple of sentences that seemed to me to be missing something but I guess my error. Sorry. Btw I noticed something at the developing discussion about your not liking Twinkle. Trust me, when you are an admin you will value Twinkle. It automates for you a lot of tasks involving multiple steps. Also there are some other tools (not Twinkle) you will want to install, that simplify things like closing AfDs.

Hi ONUnicorn! I noticed that you threw your hat into the ring. Best of luck! Oh, and I'm not gonna lie: the RFA process can be nasty at times. To help ease your nerves, here's a kitten to cheer you up. This curious furry friend found this motorcycle helmet to be a really cozy napping spot! Aww... how cute! I'd love to snuggle in with her if I was small enough...

Hi, ONUnicorn. I noticed you're up for adminship. What are the criteria for voters? Am I eligible?

Yes, you are eligible. Basically, anyone with a registered account is eligible, although very new users' opinions are often discounted. Your opinion would probably be highly valued, in part because I mentioned my interaction with you in my responses to the questions. There's a page of advice for RFA voters, and it's a good idea to at least skim it before you vote for the first time. Again, I welcome your input, and thank you in advance. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 20:44, 24 May 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-05-24T20:44:00.000Z","author":"ONUnicorn","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-ONUnicorn-2017-05-24T20:44:00.000Z-Kirk_Leonard-2017-05-24T20:38:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi ONUnicorn, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations for both your successful nomination and for your place on WP:100; you have an impressive amount of support. As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin help pages are most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project.

I also noticed when activating your adminship that I granted you rollback rights back in January 2008, which would have made you one of the first people I ever gave them to. :) Good luck with your adminship!

Since you are an admin, I have something to ask to you. I am currently working on an editor of a newspaper in my sandbox. Is it correct to use reports of his newspaper as references?

@Royroydeb: I would say that article would be a good source for the information that he began a philanthropic effort to claim the bodies and give them a proper burial. Even though it is in his newspaper, it can be used to source simple statements of fact like that. However, it wouldn't contribute much to alleviating any notability concerns. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 18:44, 3 June 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-06-03T18:44:00.000Z","author":"ONUnicorn","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-ONUnicorn-2017-06-03T18:44:00.000Z-Royroydeb-2017-06-03T06:41:00.000Z","replies":["c-ONUnicorn-2017-06-03T19:17:00.000Z-ONUnicorn-2017-06-03T18:44:00.000Z"]}}-->

I will add that the sources you have in the draft do indicate that he is notable.~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 19:17, 3 June 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-06-03T19:17:00.000Z","author":"ONUnicorn","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-ONUnicorn-2017-06-03T19:17:00.000Z-ONUnicorn-2017-06-03T18:44:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Concerning the IP editor 139.192.217.233 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and the reason why it keeps undoing the redirect of Fictional national animals: it is an IP-hopping vandal who has no discernible reasons, and a long, long history of being wholly incapable of explaining or discussing its edits, which tend to sit in the unpleasant boundary between "unhelpful good intentioned edits" and "blatant vandalism." That is, when its edits aren't blatant, poorly written WP:OR.--Mr Fink (talk) 14:01, 4 June 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-06-04T14:01:00.000Z","author":"Apokryltaros","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Apokryltaros-2017-06-04T14:01:00.000Z-Just_to_let_you_know","replies":["c-ONUnicorn-2017-06-04T17:45:00.000Z-Apokryltaros-2017-06-04T14:01:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Mr Fink"}}-->

Thanks for that information. If it keeps up I can semi protect the redirect, but it's been a while since they changed it. They seem to have moved on to other articles about fictional animals. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 17:45, 4 June 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-06-04T17:45:00.000Z","author":"ONUnicorn","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-ONUnicorn-2017-06-04T17:45:00.000Z-Apokryltaros-2017-06-04T14:01:00.000Z","replies":["c-Apokryltaros-2017-06-07T05:14:00.000Z-ONUnicorn-2017-06-04T17:45:00.000Z"]}}-->

The vandal's favorite targets are usually Largest organisms, Largest prehistoric organisms, and "List of fictional (insert animal here)" and goes through a cycle. If I didn't know better, I would even guess it's some sort of vandalbot.--Mr Fink (talk) 05:14, 7 June 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-06-07T05:14:00.000Z","author":"Apokryltaros","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Apokryltaros-2017-06-07T05:14:00.000Z-ONUnicorn-2017-06-04T17:45:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Mr Fink"}}-->

Hi ONUnicorn,

In view of the huge and sudden backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed since mid 2016, the WMF has begun a dialogue in a quest to examine the situation and possible solutions. Please consider commenting there if you have not already done so. It is highly recommended to read it all before it becomes too long to follow. The project is at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Analysis and proposal, and its talk page.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here.
