Have you heard this?

Have you heard this yet? Maybe we can use it?----ZiaLater (talk) 19:26, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: I have, but I'm a ittle concerned about the outlet and it is actually a video where Óscar Pérez can be seen clearly. I recall CNN in Spanish included the video while reporting, this is the segment if I'm not mistaken. If the sources are going to be included because of the negotiation, I should also note that Óscar published in several videos, in which the first one was about him explaining that there was a surrender in process.[1] I see the article already include Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch statements regarding a extrajudicial execution.--Jamez42 (talk) 02:16, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello NoonIcarus, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
• We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

• We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

• ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
• Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello NoonIcarus, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

• ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing

• Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

• The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
• Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled

• While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News

• The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

AFD

Hi, Please don't edit my comments as you did at the AFD, Whilst I agree the wording is perhaps a tad strong the point still stands - I can't stand people who are all "Look at me, Look at me" hence why my wording there is strong, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 02:17, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

@Davey2010: Hi. While I agree with you that I have zero tolerance for self promotion articles, the wording is still inappropiate under WP:TPG and I worry that it somehow harms the current nomination. Having already tagged the text, I leave it to your consideration. Cheers, --Jamez42 (talk) 02:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Venezuelan presidential election, 2018

On 21 May 2018, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Venezuelan presidential election, 2018, which you nominated and updated.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello NoonIcarus, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

• WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 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.

Deletion tags

• Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

• A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

• There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. 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.

Paid editing - new policy

• Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

• The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
• Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

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, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

• Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
• The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Invitation to join WikiProject Corruption

Hi @Jamez42: I noticed your support for the proposal to start WikiProject Corruption. This is an invitation to join the new project. Best Regards. -Masssly (talk) 21:49, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi @Masssly:! I'm glad to know that the WikiProject has been given green light, I'll take a look on it in a while, please let me know in what the project needs help. Cheers! --Jamez42 (talk) 21:53, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

The main WikiProject Corruption landing page needs reconstruction to make it attractive. A more pressing issue now I think is coming up with a to-do list. But do take a look and let us know how else you would want to help. Thanks. -Masssly (talk) 22:01, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Re: Spanish politicians

Hello, Jamez42.

Thank you very much for your message and your work! The list facilitates the review.

In principle, I'm not interested in editing pages about politics, with certain exceptions. The issue of nationality seems important to me. Apollo is not the only one that is (was...) skewing / distorting information, unfortunately. Look for example [2] and [3].

Best regards. --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 15:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

The entire list reviewed! Surely there is more ... If you are so kind and you are interested, we can collaborate to correct the errors.

Best regards. --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 16:05, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

@BallenaBlanca: Thank! Sure thing, I found out the politicians with Apollo's review history. For the time being I added the articles to my watchlist to be wary of another edit war. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Cheers! --Jamez42 (talk) 16:16, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Thoughts? [4] --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 17:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

@BallenaBlanca: I'm personally alright with including both nationalities, especially if this is the consensus, some of the articles had them before the deletion of the Spanish nationality. What I don't think it's good it's deleting "Spanish", since as I explained to Apollo, communities in Spain have less autonomy than in other nations such as the United Kingdom. If this becomes bothersome, a dispute resolution could be asked. --Jamez42 (talk) 17:58, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

If the concept is "two nationalities", then it is not correct to put "Basque Spanish" or "Catalan Spanish". In Spain there are no more nationalities, only Spanish, nobody born in Spain has another nationality in their identity document. The jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Spain determines that the concept of nation and nationality are not synonymous, declaring that the Constitution of Spain only admits one nation, which is the Spanish Nation. See for example this explanations and refs Talk:Juan_José_Ibarretxe#Nationality.

Best. --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 21:20, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

@BallenaBlanca: Of course, I know since I'm Spanish, what I mean is that if there's a consensus to include both nationalities and there are arguments to support it as well as to refute the previous version, I think it should be included, but for the time being there isn't such case and there were even allegations of WP:CANVASS. --Jamez42 (talk) 21:25, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Activity in Jorge Oteiza

Hi, you have come to revert my edit, controversially so, since removal of nationality is a matter of contention. Still I do not know what your relation is with that article. It is a topic a I have worked on, but it looks as if you are following my steps, isn´t that right? Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 22:17, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Iñaki LL: Hi. I am not; like you have shown in one of your edits, I currently have in my watchlist around 40 articles of Spanish biographies that were subject to POV pushing by a sockpuppet that also edit warred in the main topic I edit in, Venezuela. Federico Krutwig is among them, but Jorge Oteiza is not. Now, I personally don't disagree with including both terms, the sockpuppet actually deleted or replaced "Spanish" and I was the editor that added both words trying to balance the introduction, but many of the articles said "Spanish" originally and since BallenaBlanca provided arguments to back up the original version I commented about the articles on their talk page. I think your distinction between nationality and citizenship is important and I recently added this field in the infobox hoping that it helps to reach a consensus. In any case, it is a discussion I really would prefer not to get involved into and I only look for keeping a stable version. Cheers. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:33, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Jamez42 for your reply. I will go through the edits. Not about you, but editing on national matters is always sensitive, especially if it is an article another editor has worked on. Someone is altering automatically definitions of articles, without nuance and with a lot of self-entitlement, and frankly it is raising red flags. Iñaki LL (talk) 22:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Iñaki LL: No worries, thank you for writing to me directly. I totally understand your concern, I'd only suggest to continue looking for a common ground. If you feel that the issue is going too far, I'd recommend to seek dispute resolution. Let me know if I can help with anything else. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:54, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Political advocacy by Jamez42 / Susmuffin. The discussion is about the topic El Paraíso stampede. 2601:644:1:B7CB:D417:AECA:710A:207 (talk) 19:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

• Because of the unusual circumstances here, I'm not taking any action against you for the edit-warring at El Paraíso stampede. However, your reverts are not exempt under WP:3RRNO. The blanking referred to is "page blanking" and is a subset of obvious vandalism. The IP's edits were not vandalism. Take care.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:45, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

@Bbb23: My apologies in that case, and thank you for the attention to the case! --Jamez42 (talk) 22:46, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

No worries. I don't like to see long-standing users blocked because of frustration. At the article Talk page you referred to personal attacks against administrators. Did I miss that?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:49, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

@Bbb23:Just referring to the IP's claims, in one of their last comments the IP said "Better get one of your colleagues to close the 3RR discussion I'm about to open.", which seems to suggest they were accusing you of being a paid editor too. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:51, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
