You thanked me for this edit. I always get thanks never something I can display like barnstars. Anyways congrats on the page but dont let it sit keep looking for stuff because while this did pass WP:GNG, it barely did. I would say its chances of losing at AfD would be about 60/40 OLIfanofmrtennant 04:43, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

If you don't believe if would pass an AfD, you probably shouldn't have accepted. I'm obviously glad you did, but that's an odd thing to say. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:46, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

I think that it passes but not by much. OLIfanofmrtennant 21:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

As it meets essentially the bare minimum requirements OLIfanofmrtennant 21:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Articles for Creation on academics

Do not need independent sourcing if the subject meets WP:PROF as I believe Draft:Michael Charlton (academic) does. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:28, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Hywel R. Thomas clearly meets WP:PROF as an FRS!! Also his Royal Society bio is in no way a primary source from his employers. Draft:Helen Fulton also looks probably notable under PROF and will probably also be notable under AUTHOR. Please stop reviewing academics at AfC, you clearly have no idea how to apply the guidelines. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:42, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict I am sorry for making mistakes, I am still learning and it is difficult to keep in mind all the different guidelines for different proffesions. I'll try to avoid reviewing academics for now until I understand the protocol better. It is worth noting that the person who created those articles had been paid to do which made me more strict on them than I may have been otherwise.

I think your message is overly aggresive here, and I ask you to please more polite and patient in the future. I am trying my best and I do not doubt you have made editing mistakes in the past. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 03:18, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict I am thankful to you for bringing this to my attention however, to be clear. I have moved the drafts to mainspace now after reviewing them with the extra information you provided :) Cheers. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Draft:John Saunders (NYC CNC)

Thank you for reviewing my submission. I've edited in more references to news paper articles and interviews, including The New York Times, but the article was rejected again. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time. KG Australia (talk) 23:30, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

You have defintely made improvements since I reviewed the draft, so good job! Note that interviews are primary soruces and don't show notability, and it can be useful to check your sources on the perennial sources list to see what other editors think of them. Good luck! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 03:27, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

About Helen Fulton

Hey NotCharizard, did you mean to move this draft to mainspace? You declined it not even two days ago for notability/sourcing concerns. In addition, since the move was done without the AfC helper script, all of the old tags are still on the article, and the draft creator has not been notified. Let me know what you think! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:31, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, was still cleaning up when you messaged this. I was informed by another user (above on my talk page) that I had misunderstood the notability guidelines in regards to academics, and that they do not need as many secondary sources as most other professions, so I moved the draft to mainspace today. Thank you a lot for checking! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:37, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

No problem, mistakes happen! In the future, if you come across a situation where you want to accept a draft that was previously declined and was not resubmitted for review, I'd recommend you use the helper script to initiate another review and then accept it yourself, which will save you the trouble of cleaning up. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:47, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I had wondered if it would be better to submit it as myself or just move it, but I was worried it would look odd/bias to accept an article I submitted myself which is why I decided not to. Hadn't considered the advantages of the auto clean up! I'll do it that way next time, thanks so much :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Notcharizard,

New Page Review article queue, March to September 2023

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
