Help

Geo Swan, Please read this and add what I am asking to be added. Thanks!—Spasiba5 (talk) 18:12, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Spasiba5!

In general, I'll help other people...

I don't userstand the discussion at http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:National_Register_of_Citizens#Reversion.

If I were to make an edit, on your behalf, I'd have to fully understand the edit, and assure myself it was a policy compliant edit. An edit I make, even if done at the request of someone else, would become my responsibility.

Are you asking me to make it because the article is semi-protected, and you don't have enough edits under your belt to be autoconfirmed? Yes, in general, I'll provide that kind of help - provided I understand the edit in question.

I won't make an edit someone requests when they are trying to protect themselves from WP:3RR.

Do you know how diffs work? How to provide them? If not Help:Diff may help.

Did you want me to restore this version? I can't do this as I don't understand the underlying issues. Sorry. Geo Swan (talk) 00:23, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am asking to add a sentence from the cited reference already used. Please read what I have posted there if possible. Thanks!—Spasiba5 (talk) 01:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please use diffs.

As above, in general, I'll help other people... but, if I were to make an edit, on your behalf, I'd have to fully understand the edit, and assure myself it was a policy compliant edit. An edit I make, even if done at the request of someone else, would become my responsibility...

Because you aren't using diffs it is not clear to me what you are asking me to re-add. Even if I knew what you wanted me to add, I'd have to understand the edit thoroughly, because it would become my responsibility. And, I don't understand the underlying issues.

Sorry Geo Swan (talk) 02:50, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Geo Swan/archive,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.
