A tag has been placed on Category:Turkish emigrants to New Zealand indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 22:36, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to the twenty-seventh newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.
Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.
After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:
Please let us know what you think about these projects on the related talk page, or Growth's annual plan talk page.
We released a new Section-level “add an image” structured task to Growth pilot wikis (Arabic, Bengali, Czech, and Spanish). This task was part of the Structured Data Across Wikipedia project. We are monitoring the edits made, and we look for community feedback as well.
Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. [15]
Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.
The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.
More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [16]
The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.
We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.
In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.
The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:
We are still in the early planning stage of the Community Configuration 2.0 project:

Hello Stuartyeates,
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.

Hi! I tried to reply to your declining of the new draft for Locust earlier, but somehow it ended up on MY talk page instead of yours. Because I didnt hear from you, I tried to resubmit to get your attention, but then the article got blocked instead...
I'd like to know more specifically what your objections are and how to alleviate them. I have also found another source from a peer reviewed publication that I could add and work in to the article to further support notability.
I dont know how to auto-generate this post so I've copied the source from another one on your talk :) LarsHolmberg (talk) 07:42, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Stuartyeates:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
Hello, I saw that you've marked Hun clan as reviewed. The original article is available at Hun. It's possible that the creator might be a LTA trying to insert a Gurjar POV into various articles about kings and clans. I've taken the step to file an SPI for this. It's important to note that the sources provided in this article only make claims. – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:19, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Hey there. Congrats on being on the backlog drive leaderboard. I really appreciate you helping out at NPP. If you want to hang out with other NPPs, consider joining us on the NPP Discord. Discord is live chat software that can be really fun. If not no worries. Thanks and see you around :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 14:52, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Any help regarding this article is much appreciated. Both reviewers do not seem to be seeing this as a scholarly book, which has different requirements for establishing notability compared to other types of books.
I have made edits to include over a dozen additional secondary references from sources that are independent of the book's author. These include references to textbooks, other academic books, and papers from other fields (e.g., neuroscience, education, economics) that use work featured in the book.
This is a highly specialized academic book, so I used those guidelines for notability per the "Academic and technical books" section of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(books). The book was published in Routledge's Scientific Psychology series, which is a prestigious series that includes books by well-known and respected figures in mathematical psychology, such as Duncan Luce and Louis Narens. Books in this series normally undergo multiple levels of peer review. The audience for this book is relatively narrow, as mathematical psychology is not a large field. As a tenured professor in Experimental Psychology, I believe it to be an important contribution and have used Chapters from the book in my graduate seminar in Cognitive Psychology.
Please also note that while many of the original references are connected to the book's author, they are all from peer-reviewed journals and thus have undergone review by other experts in the field. These references are not independent of the subject, but they are in-depth and reliable, and they are important to demonstrating how the work in the book has been scientifically validated.

In your opinion, are the following references accepable in a Wikipedia article?
I also would like to understand the part of your comment about "press releases and the company's research publications". I have removed such references from the draft. Which ones of the current/remaining references apply to you comment?
Thank you for your help.Regards,

A bit of a gap since the last postcard, but what a great time we've had with the Wikipedian at Large project in the interim • The highlight has been having Marshall and Lyn join me on the West Coast for a few days, visiting Fox Glacier and Whataroa • We now have good photo collections for the newly-created Waitangiroto Nature Reserve, and a a much improved article with galler • The Whataroa article has been improved with local history and links to the White Herons • We also have much better coverage of Fox Glacier, including new Ngāi Tahu viewing place Te Kopikopiko o te Waka, and photos of Te Weheka Walkway/Cycleway and the South Side Walkway/Cycleway • Could I get you all to check back through your contributions and add anything extra you've done to the [Progress page as we wrap up • Also—I'm hosting a catch-up meeting on Sunday November 12, 2:30 pm, online at my Whereby chat room. This is a chance to go over anything you'd still like to see improved, talk about how the project went and possibilities for future ones, and announce winners of prizes for most or best contributions.

What do you think is the copyvio at Draft:List of 250 most-backward districts (2006)? I agree the list is copied from the source but as it's alphabetically listed by state and district, that doesn't seem to be creative (and hence not a copyvio - Wikipedia:Copyright in lists#Copyrightability of other factors). Nor does the choice of districts appear to be creative but is a factual list based on calculation (see Wikipedia:Copyright in lists#Copyrightability of content).
I can see a straightforward decline of the draft for notability but not as a copyvio. Nthep (talk) 13:37, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Stuart, thank you for your reply and suggestion. You suggest Particularly the first part of this article needs to be recast. What can i do? A similar article is Drag_(physics). Perhaps you don't want a summary and a simple calculation at the beginning? Formatting? Can you be more specific? The enormous - quadratic - energy consumption at higher speeds is essential knowledge for car drivers, right?

Hi Stuart,
Thank you for taking the trouble to review my draft.
I have a clarification question about your comment: "Most of the refs don't appear to mention the subject."
Do you mean the references to scientific literature? I don't understand this comment yet, because the subject "Ampersand" is mentioned in three references. These three are the seminal articles on this topic and are peer-reviewed academic work. The hyperlinks in my draft refer to other Wikipedia contributions, so readers can find further explanations for such terms as they see fit. In this way, I did my best to make everything traceable and verifiable.
So, I suspect I don't fully understand your comment yet. Could you please elaborate a bit, so I can adapt the draft in the right direction?
Would you like me to include a language definition? Or examples? I'd be happy to, even though the very first hyperlink in the draft points to https://ampersandtarski.github.io/, which is the authoritative documentation of Ampersand.
I'd really appreciate some more clarification on your comment.

Hello, can you help me to edit my draft https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Zula_Global? Thank you for suggesting me to use independent sources. For this reason, in addition to the official sites of the game, I also wanted to report some newspaper articles and a famous player of the game. Unfortunately, however, apart from this information there is nothing else online, since it is just a game and not, for example, historical facts. Could you help me by specifying better what you mean by "indipendent sources" about my case? Thank you for helping me! Rassolino (talk) 07:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing my submission List of California political scandals. As to your points:
TOO MUCH BOILERPLATE: The boilerplate here exactly matches the boilerplate on the article List of Alabama political scandals which has already been accepted by Wikipedia for publication. But I agree with you. Each of the paragraphs is an answer to previous editors who could not seem to find a definition of ‘scandal’.
OLDER CITATIONS: Absolutely. I have citations that go back to 1857. I did not use them because some editors have argued this article is too long. They think it would not fit on a modern cell phone! I therefore censured myself, but could easily add more citations, if it will be accepted.
PUBISHING WITHOUT REVIEW: Perhaps I should be talking to the editor who approved List of Alabama political scandals. He mentioned there is a way for published authors to publish again using create articles yourself, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out how. So I submitted this at Articles for creation which led to Article Wizard which led to you. What am I missing? Johnsagent (talk) 03:07, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [88]
We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [89] [90]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [92]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [93]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [94]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [95]

@Stuartyeates A draft (Draft:Odisha Urdu Academy) submitted for review was declined with reasons. Now that I've removed a lot of content against wiki rules, is it worth re-submitting now? I will resubmit if you guide me; otherwise, I will try to improve. Khaatir (talk) 07:16, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello. Could you take another look at Draft:Sport Inside? I added the Expand German template at the top. The German version of the page, which has existed since 2010, has the sources you requested, but I'm not able to translate them. Thanks. - Richie2023 (talk) 17:37, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for the suggestion to "steal" some references from https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_Job_Definition_Format (which is a published article). The principal German author of that page has added several of his sources to our English page, and says we have more sources than he does.
Question: We believe we had addressed all the "reliable sources" & "primary source" complaints, with updates and several secondary sources added, yet the article was declined once again. Do you have any thoughts on how best to clear complaints and get this article published?
Thanks again, - Jim Jmekis (talk) 21:14, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Dear Stuartyeates,
You have recently reviewed the proposed article on the International Commission for the History and Theory of Historiography (ICHTH), Draft:International Commission for the History and Theory of Historiography. I am grateful for your effort and interest. To my regret, however, you rejected the submission, leaving the following reasons for rejecting the article in my talk page: 'Wikipedia articles require reliable independent secondary sources with in depth coverage of the subjects. I'm not seeing significant independent secondary sources on this org. A quick scan in google scholar isn't helpful either. If decent sources are added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page once you've resubmitted the article for review'.
I must clarify from the outset that ICHTH is not an association that produces scientific historical information itself. Therefore, a scan of Google Scholar will necessarily disappoint. In the Constitution of ICHTH (https://www.ichth.net/constitution) it is stipulated that ICHTH “promotes the study of theory of history, history of historiography, philosophy of history, historical methodology, and historical culture. It encourages debates and exchanges among different approaches to the above subjects of study.” In short, it is a global platform where philosophers of history and historiographers meet, in essence to promote scientific historical knowledge worldwide - a purpose, indeed, that is at the heart of the Wikipedia project itself.
Let me now show you that ICHTH is worth a Wikipedia entry from both a quantitative and qualitative angle.
I have just googled 'International Commission for the History and Theory of Historiography' and found 22,100 results, including, for instance
- Wikipedia's own article on Historiography
- The web page of the International Committee of Historical Sciences: https://www.cish.org/index.php/en/members/international-organisations/
- This page from the Huizinga Instituut. Netherlands Research School for Cultural History: https://www.huizingainstituut.nl/working-group/theory-of-history/
- A newsletter from the Wesleyan University, Conn., USA: https://newsletter.blogs.wesleyan.edu/2018/03/30/kleinberg-lectures-in-france-elected-to-historiography-commission/
- The page of the Centre for Historical Culture, University of Rotterdam, The Netherlands: https://www.eur.nl/en/eshcc/research/centre-historical-culture/general-information
- A book chapter published by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom, quoted in the proposed article: https://books.google.com.br/books?hl=pt-BR&lr=lang_en%7Clang_pl&id=lcAAEAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA165&dq=%22ichth%22+%2B+historiography&ots=ySvMTymuAC&sig=EmK35ugc8D5zQ0r91gsf1Yy-GL4&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22ichth%22%20%2B%20historiography&f=false
I think the list already suggests that the ICHTH is not as invisible on the web as the review might have assumed.
However, there are other ways than internet frequencies to assess the relevance of an academic organisation like the ICHTH. Longevity, global representativeness, the prominence of its members within their fields of study should all somehow be included in the assessment. The ICHTH is a 43-year-old academic association. It is an official member of the International Committee of Historical Sciences (https://www.cish.org/index.php/fr/membres/information/?pdb=508), the world’s umbrella organization for historical sciences, but it functions completely autonomously just as the 70 or so other associations affiliated to the ICHS do. ICHTH is made up of leading university professors and researchers from all over the world, many of whom are considered important enough to have their own Wikipedia pages. For example, the Board of the ICHTH (https://www.ichth.net/board) consists of 13 members coming from 12 countries ranging from Canada over Nigeria to China and Australia. And its list of honorary members includes names such as Natalie Zemon Davis, Hayden White, Romila Thapar, Georg Iggers, Peter Burke, Joan Wallach Scott, Jürgen Kocka and Frank Ankersmit - a quick glance at their Wikipedia entries will confirm how important they are/were not only for the theory or history of historiography, but for historical studies in general.
Judging relevance will be unfair if we limit ourselves to the mechanical application of criteria designed to prevent spurious self-promotion or marketing strategies by profit-driven people and companies. And if we think in terms of longevity, representativeness or prominence of members, we will easily find Wikipedia articles on organisations of all kinds that would rank below the ICHTH.
So, in light of the above, I would kindly urge you to reconsider the decision to reject the article. Thank you very much for your attention. Aoaassis (talk) 09:12, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Yes, where to find these sources? That is the problem. ~~ ~~
If sources are the problem, I had just listed some good ones above, attesting that the organisation exists and is recognised in its field. To the attentive and not ill-disposed eye, that should have sufficed. Such a pity that it has not. Aoaassis (talk) 07:06, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
In comments to my draft article you wrote "We need independent sources". Please let me know, (1) you need independent sources for existing content or (2) you need extra content with independent sources. If (1) is the case and if you need independent sources for the section "Institutes and Departments", would it be OK to remove this section or maybe I could find independent sources for some items in the list and keep these items removing others and thus making the list incomplete? Please which option is better?

Hello Stuartyeates,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of Colorado political scandals for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want List of Colorado political scandals to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello Stuartyeates,
Thanks for reviewing my article. I received the following feedback from you: "The academic paper at the core of this article has been cited only 3 times. This is not what notability looks like."
May I kindly ask you more constructive suggestions rather than only pointing out this? Is there any way I can improve the article, or the simple fact that the paper has only three citations (so far) makes the page I wrote not even worth being considered? Thus, we cannot communicate science unless the topic is "popular"? Any suggestion would be really appreciated.
I would like to underline that the paper was published only one year ago (yet, on a journal with impact factor of 11.1 in 2022), and describes a very specific topic. Also, the issue of clonal expansion has been puzzling researchers for years (as you might have seen from many of the references I cited).
There is a huge gap between society (non-scientists) and science in specialist journals. As a scientist, the effort I was doing in writing this article was trying to bridge the gap with the knowledge I have acquired so far and a non-scientific user.
Many thanks in advance for your feedback! Ceciliafruet (talk) 21:06, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the review of my draft page @Stuartyeates . Your comment has been: "I'm seeing zero in depth coverage in secondary sources.". I´m not sure what you are referring to. I guess you say that the lists created just are referenced by the regional regulators and their publications and you would require additional sources on top of this? Is my understanding correct? This process would be different to existing handling of e.g. Mobile_network_codes_in_ITU_region_2xx_(Europe), which reflects the same source handling as I applied to my draft. I appreciate your feedback on this in advance! Maedula (talk) 14:10, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
The message left as the reason for taking down the article I wrote said there were sources on google scholar I could use instead of ones cited. I checked google scholar prior to writing the article and there are no relevant sources. The species of spider that was the topic of my article does not have much information so I don't know how to go about finding better sources. AWolfSpider (talk) 03:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
