how the hell is it not neutral point of view. it is, it is also giving balance to the page, plus its giving new information.KingTintin (talk) 02:53, 3 February 2019 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE--Jamez42 (talk) 13:24, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Jamez42 - I chose to delete the word "autocratic" with regard to the Venezuelan government because its inclusion is, itself, a non-neutral value-laden word. I find it surprising that you feel that to include the word is "neutral"; the inclusion of the word implies that it is a proven fact that the government is autocratic despite reliable sources arguing differently. For instance the report of the UN International Accompaniment Mission states that the 2018 elections were free and fair,[1] and the UN Human Rights Council report[2] states that, whilst there have been some failures made by the Venezuelan government, the true cause of the current crisis lies with the international community's sanctions. Other observers have also backed up these arguments including human rights lawyer Daniel Kovalik of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law[3] and UK Labour MP Chris Williamson.[4] It is, of course, a contested argument - but the very fact that there is a reliable body of sources who don't believe the Venezuelan government is autocratic makes its inclusion without qualification a non-neutral point of view. The truly neutral approach here is to remove the word entirely or to say that "X describes the government of Venezuela as autocratic". US President Donald Trump has stated that he will confront the Maduro government - the inclusion of the word "autocratic" is not necessary to make the point.

I don't reply to user e-mail. I don't think it's necessary in the case of ATL to present evidence by e-mail. I see no harm in doing it "publicly". It's the very rare case where private evidence is needed.
LTA pages are tricky. They are hard to prepare and often don't reveal anything that isn't already known. They also often contain inaccuracies that are misleading to other users. OTOH, I personally have found a few LTA pages to be useful, so I suppose I have no strong recommendation one way or the other. If you really want to create one, you could try it in draft space first and then ask knowledgeable editors to review it and give you feedback.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:39, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I have responded to your revert notification on the talk page about El Junquito raid, since I would prefer more people to see the exchange. My position is, of course, that your revert is "less than neutral", to put it extremely mildly, and not my edits.--82.137.111.223 (talk) 18:00, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Estoy agotada! Puedes hacerme el favor de dar un repaso por el articulo del concierto, para ver que barbaridades he cometido? Esta semi-protegido por ahora, que se puede trabajar sin vandalizaciones. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:37, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Well, darn it, if Kingsif doesn't show up by tomorrow, one of us has to submit it to DYK (seven days is up on 22 Feb). I think the hook should be ... more than thirty performers from seven countries joined in a benefit concert, Venezuela Aid Live, to support humanitarian aid for Venezuela. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:40, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Fiddlestick, Jamez42, the concert is almost over, and most of this is already past tense even though there is a bit of concert left. Could we revert this and live with the rest for an hour? A whole lot of that text is more correctly past tense now that the concert is underway. I don't want to keep improving the article if I will later have to go back and catch every one of those ;( I think we're covered by the very first instance of "is" ...

Thanks for this, James; I am going to wait a few hours to see if Migracion Colombia puts out a new number. Otherwise, I would have to reword the whole template to attribute the info to intelligence sources via Infobae, and it could be too wordy. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk)
I strongly suggest you stop editing Venezuela articles for a while and look at other parts of how the encyclopedia function. Your edits do introduce a systemic anti-Maduro bias into literally every article you touch. The IPs edits were violations of WP:NPOV I'm not disputing that. But they were replacing equally egregious WP:WEASEL language which you restored. Rather than edit warring to keep articles anti-Maduro I suggest you take a look at WP:YESPOV, stop trying to get leftist sources declared "unreliable" and consider editing in areas of the encyclopedia that you don't have such an obvious and stark POV.
Now I'll note that I also have strong opinions on Venezuela. That's why I rarely edit except to remove explicit vandalism and otherwise maintain a light touch. I suggest you should do the same. Simonm223 (talk) 13:49, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hugo Chávez; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:59, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. BeŻet (talk) 19:45, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Jamez, I was informed by an observer that the best route to guarantee peace in Venezuela is if both parties can come together, work together on having a new election, do not run in said election, guarantee those who do run will not be an issue for either party (all candidates have a valid birth certificate and no ties to a country with suspicious ties to the country such as Russia or the United States), and just let a new person get elected. Venezuela is suppose to be a democracy, no? Then let the people decide who should lead them. Guaido is only a temporary head of state and Maduro thinks his democracy rests solely on his shoulders. That is not a democracy. So let the people decide, just not have either person run for the office. Venezuela has a ton of people who could run for the position, which is the whole point of a democracy. Prince of Catalonia (talk) 22:10, 8 April 2019 (UTC) |
I think restoring this title in various articles is kinda weird unless you also revert the name-change of the linked article, a motion i would support! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 12:04, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Jamez, something is still wrong over at the Spanish Wiki on the sanctions chart. The Swiss did not sanction Jaua ... they sanctioned seven people, and the chart has nine. If you could make that chart sortable, it would be easier to check (I don't know how to make sortable in Spanish wiki). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:56, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jamez42, I created an account so that we can talk about the coup attempt in Venezuela section in the List of coups d'état and coup attempts that I created and have tried to maintain. I'm replying specifically to your latest revert:
11:38, 1 May 2019 Jamez42 talk contribs 90,840 bytes -1,096 Undid revision 895002968 by 77.59.147.2 (talk) Stop edit warring and discuss the changes (WP:BRD). No arguments have been provided on how the 23 January is a coup attempt. Next revert will be a violation of WP:3RR
The arguments were provided both on the article segment and on the talk page, before you made the reversion. Could you please outline your objections to the arguments I have presented?
Best regards, DrTreePirate (talk) 12:46, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
Dear Jamez, sorry for bothering you , but on Live TV in my country is saying that my nation Argentina is breaking apart relationships with Venezuela but there are still no newspaper article. Should I wait? Thank you again.--LLcentury (talk) 15:00, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Querido amigo venezolano, fue mi error de interpretaciòn de la noticia ayer, aùn mantenemos relacones bilaterales, lo que sì escuchè e que Macri (Presidente argentino) dijo que una intervenciòn extranjera deberìa considerarse si la situaciòn empeora. Te mantendrè al tanto. Abrazo fuerte a vos y todo tu pueblo. --LLcentury (talk) 17:09, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Mirá. millones de disculpas por ser de tanta carga primeramente, pero quiero contribuír lo más posible con lo que pasa en tu país. Creés apropiado adherir en la Wiki Española que Argentina tampoco descartó una acción militar?. Bueno, además, te recomiendo si por internet podés ver la HERMOSA entrevista que le hizo el conductor argentino Alejandro Fantino a un refugiado venezolano en Argentina de tan sólo 29 años. Fue emitido por América TV de Argentina. Saludos. --LLcentury (talk) 12:09, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
So as to not get too far off topic on the Juan Guaido article, I'm just writing back to tell you that the article "2015 Venezuelan parliamentary election" answered most of my questions:
I guess my only question is how many seats does each state hold for the closed list proportion representation seats? For instance, how many seats was Vargas allocated for both the FPTP constituencies and the close list constituencies? And, the more I look at it, it seems that Guaido was elected from one of these seats and not the first-past-the-post constituencies as I'd originally thought, since it appears that more than one person was elected in the district in which he was running (i.e. Milagros Eulate). This seems to show that two people were elected from Vargas' "1st District" but I just want to be sure this was from the list constituencies and not the FPTP constituencies. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:04, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. I'm not sure what's being lost in translation, though. As least as of 2015, you have 113 members from 87 different constituencies from each state and the capital district, and then you had 51 seats elected from a list from each state and the capital district. I guess what's confusing to me is that for the first kind of seat, it seems that some constituencies elect more than one member while other's only elected one member, and I'm curious as to how it's decided which constituency gets how many seats? And for the second kind of seat (list seats), I'm curious of something similar: how is it decided how many list seats each state gets? Am I reading this correctly, and each state and the federal district gets 2 list seats? And if that's the case, wouldn't that mean the two largest parties would essentially each of these seats for the list seats? --Criticalthinker (talk) 14:26, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Simón (2018 film), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Citrivescence (talk) 22:53, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Simón 2018 film.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:03, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello NoonIcarus,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Foreign interventions by the Soviet Union into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((copied)) template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. QueerEcofeminist "cite! even if you fight"!!! [they/them/their] 10:42, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I see in a recent addition to Foreign interventions by the Soviet Union you included material copied from several different. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying within Wikipedia in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:43, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello NoonIcarus,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hi, Jamez42; I see that you just reverted my revert of your bold edit on 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis, with the edit summary "No new points have been brought to the discussion. Will respond when I have the time". I think the consensus-building process would be more productive if all editors followed WP:BRD and discussed controversial changes rather than reverting to a preferred version. In my opinion, changes that have already been reverted once should not be re-reverted if you do not have time to explain why. There is no deadline. Please consider self-reverting to bring the process back in line with WP:BRD. Thanks. — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 14:36, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
Discuss the contribution, and the reasons for the contribution, on the article's talk page with the person who reverted your contribution. Don't restore your changes or engage in back-and-forth reverting.You restored your own change after it was clear there was opposition to it, thereby engaging in back-and-forth reverting, and you did not explain your reasons for doing so on talk. In addition, your initial change was an imposition of your own preferred version while discussion was still going on. Again, if you want to follow BRD, I think you should self-revert.

This is re: your commenting-out of my contribution to the RfC. Is there some restriction on the originator of an RfC being the first to contribute, or some other reason for me to hold off from posting? I think feedback from third parties will be useful, but I don't think that requires either of us to not provide our own opinions. I also think it is useful to give a summary of my opinion there because the discussion in the section above is pretty lengthy. — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 16:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Jamez42. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Santa Teresa".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the ((db-afc))
, ((db-draft))
, or ((db-g13))
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Lapablo (talk) 23:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Jamez42,
Thanks for creating Russia involvement in regime change! I edit here too, under the username FULBERT and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-
A number of the references need to be reformatted, and in spots the citations to those references need to be corrected throughout the article.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|FULBERT))
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Hi James,
I temp reverted your edit, and also to the map on Commons, pending sources. This is a significant development, but isn't mentioned anywhere in the article other than in the table you edited. There are consequences elsewhere. E.g., if (unlike Jamaica), VZ accepts full jurisdiction, then the IACHR decision on SSM is binding, which would affect our SSM maps. — kwami (talk) 20:07, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Okay, I found some sources. Nullification of the withdrawl, so that means blanket jurisdiction, but only by the de jure govt, so I striped VZ on the map. — kwami (talk) 20:49, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello NoonIcarus,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

On 10 October 2019, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article 2019 Ecuadorian protests, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 05:28, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Simón (2018 film), a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Hello Jamez. When you remove Telesur as a reference, could you try and replace it with something else rather than just leaving a citation request? Thanks, Number 57 17:44, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
@Number 57: Sure thing :) I will look into my edits to look for other references. Best wishes! --Jamez42 (talk) 17:47, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello Jamez. Before editing Francisco Rodríguez (again), I double-checked my sources, making sure they complained with WP:RS I still don't understand the editing, especially when your undoing keeps leaving information that is no longer true (Rodríguez is not the current Head Economist at Torino, as he resigned in September). News organizations, such as cited in Oil-for-food (that you undid twice) and US Congress transcripts do qualify as reliable sources, and so is the main website of the Oil for Venezuela Foundation. Please, feel free to answer, as I don't understand the editing. --Naldox (talk) 13:39, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello NoonIcarus,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 816 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

WikiProject Venezuela Barnstar |
Thank you for all the amazing work! – Kingsif (talk) 15:52, 3 November 2019 (UTC) |
@Kingsif: And I have to thank you both for the barnstar and for your incredible work and translations :) Best wishes! --Jamez42 (talk) 17:09, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey I'd just like to thank you for the edits you've done. I don't know how you do it on the recent event articles. The ones no one cares about are simple, because no one cares and the few who do are passionate about the subject and it's fun to work together on these. But I've been working a bit on a recent events article and found myself becoming incredibly frustrated, you however have been doing this for quite some time now and have done an excellent job of it with dedication and without becoming frustrated. So for this I thank you, and express my admiration. Alcibiades979 (talk) 16:33, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

I see that the edit you tagged was not from the IP in question anyway, but I want to point out anyway that new editors should not be tagged as SPAs simply because they have few edits. See the recommendations at WP:SPATG:
A user should not be tagged as an SPA just because they only have a handful of edits. While all users with one edit are by definition an SPA, users with as few as 3 or 4 edits are not necessarily SPAs if those edits are in a diverse set of topics and do not appear to be promoting a "single purpose."
Three edits, all of which are about completely different topics, is not grounds to label a user an SPA. It doesn't really matter what order they were in.
— cmonghost 👻 (talk) 03:05, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
This user has made few or no other edits outside this topic"., and even if three edits were made overall, this would still mean a 33% of all edits were made in this area. --Jamez42 (talk) 12:21, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
single broad topic. On the other hand, 3333 edits limited only in the talk page of the 2019 Bolivian political crisis article talk page is quite different. --Jamez42 (talk) 19:57, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
You should under no circumstance consider anything that falls into the below categories as evidence for warranting an SPA tag, one of which is that
A user should not be tagged as an SPA just because they only have a handful of edits. If you distrust new users, that's up to you, but tagging new users as SPAs when each of their edits is on a different topic is misleading, and it is contrary to the purpose of the template. — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 20:15, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Could you be more specific please? BeŻet (talk) 23:12, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
I'll look at it, but I can't promise anything more.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:43, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Hello, Jamez42!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 18:05, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
