New pages patrol newsletter
Hello Loriendrew,
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.

Hello Loriendrew:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

Revert on "Human height" Page
Hello @Loriendrew
My edit to the page human height was reverted and changed back to:
The tallest living man is Sultan Kösen of Turkey at 251 cm (8 ft 3 in) and the tallest living woman is Siddiqa Parveen of India at 234 cm (7 ft 8 in).
This statement is not backed by any source, and the Wikipedia article on Siddiqa Parveen states that she was "formerly listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest living woman", which I believe makes it clear that for whatever reason, that title no longer holds. The current wikipeda article on Rumeysa Gelgi states that, as of the present, "she is the tallest living woman confirmed by Guinness World Records." The Guinness World Records official website also confirms the same (https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/tallest-woman-living-). I am restoring the edit, this time citing the Guinness World Records page as a source.
I hope this clears up any confusion, and I do admit that it is quite unclear, as any 'official' sources on this matter are scant, and the data seems to conflict with each other (Siddiqa Parveen is stated to be 234 cm, but Rumeysa Gelgi is apparently only 215.16 cm; I am not aware why Siddiqa Parveen does not hold the record as of now, but Guinness clearly states as such).
Apologies for any confusion or lack of clarity in my writing.
Regards,
EmperorBonaparte

If/Then
The copyvio goes back further than the two revisions you've tagged for revdel. You need to identify when the material was first added as it's all those revisions that will require deletion. Nthep (talk) 19:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Think I found the correct range and updated the notice. My apologies.. have not had much revdel experience.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 00:26, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- No apology needed. Getting your head round the scale of some copyvios and how far back they go can be quite staggering. I know it shocked me when I first started looking at them. Nthep (talk) 07:17, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- It went a lot further back, to November 2013! Nthep (talk) 17:03, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- I am so sorry, was looking for some specific phrases which popped up within my range. If we do this again, just send me the "More!" meem and I will dive further.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 17:11, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'd suggest Wikipedia:Who Wrote That? as a tool for finding out who added the text. Nthep (talk) 18:52, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
