I have worked on the Swaraj India page and have reinforced more verified info and added citations. Kindly help review if the notability maintenance template may be removed. Or else, kindly suggest what further action I can take. Thanks a lot. David Davidindia (talk) 11:44, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

• @Davidindia: thanks I’ve taken the template off based on the additional sources. However I note that seven years after its foundation the party still hasn’t won any seats, so another editor may come along and add the tag again at some point. Mccapra (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

  Thanks so much. I will try to add more info about their Farmers activity and elections with reliable sources. Thanks Davidindia (talk) 13:12, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure if you still remember, but around 2 years ago you added a copypaste tag to this page. I'm trying to resolve it, but there doesn't seem to be any copyvios, per John Ovington | Earwig's Copyvio Detector (copyvios.toolforge.org). If you still remember, could you confirm if the tag is correct? ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 20:27, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

hi I’ve taken the tag off now as I reran the copyvio tool and there doesn’t seem any basis for keeping it. Mccapra (talk) 00:11, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

ok, thanks! ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 01:05, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Mccapra Hi, thanks for the tip, look I added the text in the edit article is that correct?Товболатов (talk) 14:02, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

• @Товболатов: yes that’s exactly right. For future articles please put that into your first edit summary so that it appears first and is easy for other editors to see. All the best Mccapra (talk) 16:38, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I will.--Товболатов (talk) 16:59, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

• Palazzo Interiano Pallavicini, Palazzo Balbi Piovera Raggio Mccapra hi, thanks, check out those two pages too.--Товболатов (talk) 10:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

both now marked as reviewed and released for search engine indexing. Great work! Mccapra (talk) 10:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

• Palazzo Lomellini-Doria Lamba Hi, Mccapra you seem to have checked this page, however there are no new views.--Товболатов (talk) 18:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

hi when I search on Google I can see it has been indexed and comes up so all is well. It’s a fairly niche topic so it may take a while before other internet users find their way to it. Mccapra (talk) 00:17, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

All right, thank you.--Товболатов (talk) 10:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

• Mccapra Hi, isn't 7 footnotes enough Palazzo Costaguti. I have seen many articles with 1 footnote and there were no templates to add footnotes. The articles were labelled with the start. There's one here for example, I've seen about 15-20 pages of them. Palazzo Roverella, Ferrara. But are these old articles or is there a change in the rules now. --Товболатов (talk) 12:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

hi it’s the lack of inline references that the template indicates. Yes standards have increased since some of our older articles were written. Mccapra (talk) 17:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

• Mccapra Hi, sorry to bother you. I was wondering if I could translate an article on Finestra inginocchiata. How should it be called in English Kneeling windows or the Italian original name Finestra inginocchiata? --Товболатов (talk) 09:43, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi I suggest you use the English term “kneeling window” but also create a redirect to it from the Italian term. If you’re not sure how to create a redirect just go ahead and do the translation and I’ll add the redirect later. Mccapra (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Got it, okay, we'll do that. Kneeling windows --Товболатов (talk) 09:58, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

and I’ve added a redirect from the Italian term so whichever one the reader uses they”ll end up at your article. Mccapra (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, i guess the article hasn't been checked yet.--Товболатов (talk) 13:04, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Mccapra Hi, what's up, check out this article, it's not showing in the list of articles I've created. Palazzo Donati (gia Benzoni, Bernardi, Vailati)--Товболатов (talk) 17:51, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes there are >11,000 new articles in the queue for review. Sometimes it takes a while for reviewers to get to them. Mccapra (talk) 22:28, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Mccapra,

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.

Could you keep an eye on User:Кронас? He is unexperienced. He has no information on his user page and there is no discussion on his talk page. On 7 October he began to delete references at many articles/lemmas. In my point one cannot delete (precious) references without discussion on the talk page. I don't trust this guy. Please let me know what you think. Maybe the references should be put back? Regards.Taksen (talk) 05:00, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

hi thanks for your message. I think you should contact an admin about this as it sounds serious. I’d suggest Rosguill or Barkeep49 but I’m sure any admin would want to check it. Mccapra (talk) 06:15, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I answered a similar question. Links to Russian-language non-authoritative sites, articles to which are submitted for payment, have been removed. Similar cleaning is carried out in ru-wiki. Кронас (talk) 20:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, Mccapra, and thank you for creating such interesting articles, many of historical interest with extensive coverage. I noticed that quite a few had not been assessed and that some of those assessed had substantially improved. You can see their current status here. Quite an impressive result. Thanks too for your involvement in new page reviewing. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:18, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks very much, much appreciated. I hadn’t seen that scoreboard before. I am taking a break from new page reviewing but will come back to it! All the best. Mccapra (talk) 18:24, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
