Hi. When making this edit on such a large scale, it might be a good idea to try doing it in smallish batches over several days/weeks. Otherwise you're likely to end up flooding people's watchlists. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 00:11, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Sure thing.  samee  talk 00:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@EktaS:, I declined your draft on 23 Jan because it did not cite references. We need at least one reference on biographies of living people. I've declined it again today because it lacks inline citations and reliable sources. IMDB and YouTube are not reliable sources. Please read general guidelines at WP:GNG and subject specific at WP:NACTOR.  samee  talk 08:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Samee/Archives/2018, 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.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Eurasian tree sparrow

I reverted your GF edit; American tree sparrow is a type of bird, not a type of American (: Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:00, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!
I've adjusted the rule to avoid the singular, due to its context dependence.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  17:00, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Archiving Google Books

Hi, I don't understand why you are attempting to archive links to Google Books, as in this edit. Is there some guidance somewhere that suggests it should be done? - Sitush (talk) 09:28, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

It was not intentional. They got archived with other links.  samee  talk 09:31, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
OK, thanks. I've mentioned it on Cyberpower678's talk page. - Sitush (talk) 09:40, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

@Anchorvale: Thank you for leaving a generic message. I've mentioned you on Ma'az's.  samee  talk 09:33, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

What the heck....

...was this [1]? AIbot? 119,731 bytes of dead url code on a page with no dead urls is overkill. I see you are doing this to a bunch of article. Why would you "rescue" sources that aren't dead? Before I take this to WP:ANI, I wanted to know why you are doing this to these articles? Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:21, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

I apologise, did not notice the size until it was reverted by Muboshgu. I did so with some [regional] articles because many a time references go down. I've noted it and would be watchful next time.  samee  talk 00:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
I'm not a bot expert, but why rescue ANY article's urls if none of them are dead? That seems to be a waste of edit that doesn't improve the article, which in fact may be a violation of policy when using automated tools. Honestly, I need outside input, and will likely be posting at WP:AN. Not to "get you in trouble", but if you are doing something wrong, I want to make sure you know it. If not, then by all means, you need to be more careful. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:35, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the information, I'd be careful.  samee  talk 00:41, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

what to do my article is proposed for deletion?

hello Samee, I saw your message, thank you for your review, now I don't know what else should I add to my article, can you please guide me? IRaheelKhan (talk) 10:08, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

@IRaheelKhan: You may contest the deletion proposal and add references to establish notability. More info is here WP:DEPROD. Thank you for your message.  samee  talk 13:34, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
