I occasionally come out of hibernation and saw a notification from when you were working on [[Pi]]. It is great that it is now a featured article. ''[[User talk:Geometry guy|Geometry guy]]'' 22:46, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
| colspan="4" | Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable.

Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit [[WP:Teahouse|The Teahouse]] where veteran editors are waiting to assist you.

'''Backlog'''
 
'''Redirect drive''': In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with '''23851''' reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to '''0''' (momentarily). Congratulations to {{Noping|Hey man im josh}} who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by {{noping|Meena}} and {{noping|Greyzxq}} with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2023|this page]] for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in [[beta test]] where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of [[Special:NewPagesFeed]], to help find bugs. We will post more details at [[WT:NPPR]] when we are ready for beta testers.

You can review the AFC workflow at [[WP:AFCR]].

Don't forget that [[WP:DRAFTOBJECT|draftspace is optional]], so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

The [[WP:NPP|New Page Patrol]] team is sending you this impromptu message to inform you of a steeply rising backlog of articles needing review. If you have any extra time to spare, please consider reviewing one or two articles each day to help lower the backlog. You can start reviewing by visiting [[Special:NewPagesFeed]]. Thank you very much for your help.
This is being posted on your [[Help:Using talk pages|'''talk page''']] where you can receive messages from other [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes ([[Wikipedia:Signatures|'''<big><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></big>''']]) or by clicking [[File:OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png|22px|link=WP:~]] in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions [[Wikipedia:Sign#When signatures should and should not be used|to articles themselves]]; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on [[User talk:John from Idegon|my talk page]] and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Upgrades to the [[mw:Extension:PageTriage|PageTriage]] code, initiated by the [[Wikipedia:NPPWMF|NPP open letter]] in 2022 and actioned by the [[mw:Moderator_Tools|WMF Moderator Tools Team]] in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/2023 Moderator Tools project|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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed?ui_version=1 here] - it will replace the current version soon.
[[File:Symbol question.svg|25px]] Hello!

'''Notability tip''':
==DYK for Names of the United States==
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 [[h-index#Examples|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.

:Oh...did you add that info?--[[User:Mark Miller|Mark Miller]] ([[User talk:Mark Miller|talk]]) 06:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Mark Miller}} I don't think my hook selection from the portion of the article which was a content fork negates the point of DYK. Respectfully, I'd appreciate if you could not get too heated over the [[United States]] article. I tried in good faith—and as a new editor, having come only a couple months ago—to help improve the article during its GAR. If I did something wrong, I apologize; I didn't know better. [[User:Ovinus|Ovinus]] ([[User talk:Ovinus#top|talk]]) 06:53, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
:::If I have said something to make you think I'm being heated with that question you are not assuming good faith. The question was simply about attribution and if you had researched and written that portion. I do not doubt your good faith nor do I feel there is anything wrong with being a new editor. Welcome. But it is a concern when a new editor begins making major changes to one of the most viewed articles and begins creating new articles as content forks against policy. The section was not really large enough to be forked.
:::But please remember, while you are new, you jumped in the deep end and I think discussing the article and work is important if we are to try to collaborate.--[[User:Mark Miller|Mark Miller]] ([[User talk:Mark Miller|talk]]) 00:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
:::Now, getting back to [[Names of the United States]] I was wanting to know if you understood attribution, how to attribute work within Wikipedia and the policy and guidelines for copying within Wikipedia? I cannot find the proper attribution when you copied the content to the new article and there is no tag on the talk page. If I missed it, sorry, if not, is this something I could assist you with?--[[User:Mark Miller|Mark Miller]] ([[User talk:Mark Miller|talk]]) 00:47, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

'''Reviewing tip''':
== Thanks! and a question ==
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 [https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu 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.
{{refbegin}}
'''Reminders:'''
*You can access live chat with patrollers on the [https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu New Page Patrol Discord].
*Consider adding [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers|the project discussion page]] to your watchlist.

Thanks for posting on my talk page, it makes me glad that people on here aren't cold to newcomers (and that I'm not the only <18), and thanks for the resources. I was gonna redo my user page soon and now I might steal some templates from yours, but do you know if there's a list of these anywhere? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mossypiglet|Mossypiglet]] ([[User talk:Mossypiglet#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mossypiglet|contribs]]) </small>

{{Reply to|Mossypiglet}} Of course. I've found that the switch to online schooling has given a lot more time, and since we're mostly confined to our homes editing Wikipedia is a great way to interact with strangers. Those templates you're talking about are called ''userboxes'', and you can find an index of them [[Wikipedia:Userboxes/Galleries|here]]. I would recommend you don't disclose too much identifiable information, especially since you're a minor like me. Also, it's always good practice to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the ends of your messages on talk pages (but never in articles). That will automatically add your username, talk page and the time you wrote the message, which provides attribution to that message.

== November Articles for creation backlog drive ==
In terms of perceived coldness, I think this is a fascinating and frustrating issue. Despite the pleads to "not bite the newcomers" it still happens far too much, often by very experienced editors who feel their time is worth more than helping some random plebeian. Some editors are terse and "alpha-male"-like in their messages, especially edit summaries. Others are more gentle. Of course, both these styles have their pros and cons, but please don't be discouraged if an editor calls your edit "illogical" or "incorrect". Not every edit is good, and even the most experienced editors will have their edits scrutinized. If someone calls ''you'' illogical, then that's unacceptable. But sometimes when seeing a particularly strongly worded edit summary I have to take a break, maybe do something else, then return level-headed.

Hello Ovinus:
 
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation|WikiProject Articles for creation]]''' is holding a '''month long [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/November 2023 Backlog Drive|Backlog Drive]]!'''<br />
:{{Reply to|Ovinus_Real}} You're here for almost the same reason as me, then. My school is in-person but only two days a week, and the teachers give us far from seven hours of work on the off days. Thanks for the info, I knew about the tildes but I always forget. So far I haven't had much interaction with people but we'll see how it goes. Thanks again, [[User:Mossypiglet|Mossypiglet]] ([[User talk:Mossypiglet|talk]]) 20:54, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
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 [[:Category:Pending AfC submissions|other categories and sorting]] helpful.
::{{Reply to|Mossypiglet}} Cool! By the way, if you want your name to appear lowercase, you can 1. Put {{tl|lowercase title}} at the top of your user and talk pages and 2. customize your user signature by going to [[Special:Preferences]] and changing your signature. For example, my default signature is {{!xt|Ovinus Real}}, but I have set it to {{xt|Ovinus}}. Also, if you want to be notified of all changes to a particular page, you can press the star in the top right corner, which will add it to your ''Watchlist'' (accessible at [[Special:Watchlist]]).

I just saw that [[User:Ovinus Fake|Ovinus Fake]] was created, stating on their user page that they're an alternative account to yours. Can you let me know if this is true?

::Hey, thanks for letting me know! Nope, not confusing at all; your username is fine. I just wanted to double-check just in case. I see a lot of [[WP:LTA|LTA users]] try and pull that off, so I just try and follow through when I see new users making those sort of claims. :-) If you need to make any more alternative accounts, you can use your main account to do so (though you don't have to). While logged into your main account, just go to [[Special:CreateAccount]] and fill out the form as you would usually. This way, the user creation log will show that the alternative account was created by your main account (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?user=Oshwah&page=User%3A%C9%A5%C9%90%CA%8D%C9%A5sO here] for an example of an account I created), and it'll avoid suspicion since we know it's not an impersonator. ;-) Cheers - [[User:Oshwah|<b><span style="color:#C00000">~Oshwah~</span></b>]]<sup><small><b>[[User_talk:Oshwah|<span style="color:blue">(talk)</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Oshwah|<span style="color:green">(contribs)</span>]]</b></small></sup> 08:13, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Ovinus--
Hey it's okay, no worries about being unable to finish, I completely understand. If you could post a pass or fail on the part you've done that would be helpful, but if you don't feel like you can say, that's okay too. Hopefully we'll have another chance to work together another time. Good luck with whatever you're doing, I'm sure you'll do great at it whatever it is! [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 04:15, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Jenhawk777}} Thank you for the kind words, and yes, hopefully we can work together in the future! Warmly, [[User:Ovinus|Ovinus]] ([[User talk:Ovinus#top|talk]]) 18:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 
On the chance that you contributed the flugelhorn and trumpet excerpts on the [[flugelhorn]] page, it seems worth reiterating my gratitude and respect for those contributions. In that article's [[Talk:Flugelhorn#improve_comparison_recordings?]] I whined that the excerpts sound similar to me, but any avenue is welcome towards reducing offending whoever did all that work.

Glad you went on a hike! I'm actually planning on going on a socially-distanced walk this afternoon (it's the morning here), and shall look for the flowers and bees too.

::No worries! Eventually someone will review it! {{Smiley}} I have been working on [[Problem of evil]] and creating [[Evolutionary theodicy]] to go on it and be its own article. I also split PofE it and created [[Religious responses to the problem of evil]] because everything was in there twice! I have also been working on [[Persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire]] hopefully adding some balance, and am about to finish up there. Spending a lot of time in my sandbox these days! Please don't worry about CE. I love your input, but understand priorities. I genuinely just wanted to know you were well and not letting the isolation get to you too much.

:::{{Ping|Jenhawk777}} Well darn, that's a lot of things you're working on! Silly question, but how do you have access to so many interesting sources? Is it part of your university/alma mater? [[User:Ovinus|Ovinus]] ([[User talk:Ovinus#top|talk]]) 07:13, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
:::: I have the same accesses you do I'm sure. I do have three brousers open at all times, and will spend hours and hours researching and searching and reading and just looking at what is generally said on whatever subject I'm looking at before writing. I want to be sure I have an accurate understanding, so it is not unusual for me to look at a hundred items and then discard most of them once I start writing. I want to use only the best sources that contain internal references to other scholarly work, evidence of an effort at a balanced and unbiased approach, a good presentation of the broad spectrum of evidence, and while I often find originality and insight, it is sometimes too small a point to include even when it is good. I will occasionally skirt the edge a little if the source makes an important point, but generally, I spend a lot of time looking at stuff I never use. But it all gives me a good overview of the topic, which is what I then write. It's not my sources that are any different from anyone else's I don't think, it's the time I spend gathering them that is different. Many that write here have preconceived views, go looking for a few scholars that echo those, and write that one little niche view as if it were all there is. Not good scholarship in my view. I say research first, find out what the views are, then organize and present what seems most important. On [Persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire] I have taken a month to research the one small final section on Martyrdom (which is heavily biased) that has now grown into a discussion of the controversies connected to it instead. It's been interesting. I have a whole new understanding of the topic now. That's how it usually ends up for me. Me and Googlebooks and Googlescholar - and Firefox - and Safari - and the wonderful Resource Exchange here on WP. They are stupendous. [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 07:43, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
::::: {{Ping|Jenhawk777}} I can't imagine the effort involved, goodness. I already see such a broad collection of sources and to think you selected those from way more... well, the articles are even better off thanks to that broad pursuit. Yeah, preconceived views afflict many poorly maintained philosophy/culture articles, and I usually lack the needed expertise—or ability to balance views—to meaningfully help. So... tone down some exaggerations, tag the article, move on.... I'm finding it hard to write neutrally about trumpet players, let alone some life philosophies I hold strong opinions about! So you're doing an incredible job. And as to your last thought, how we gain new understandings: I find that to be one of the best parts of WP. It's not really comparable to your work, but I learned a lot about musical acoustics while rewriting [[Mute (music)]], even dipping my toes into the "rigorous scholarship" sector of that field. For an upcoming article [[brass acoustics]] I'll probably have to relearn the differential equations and other fancy math involved... shucks, I'm just a high school kid! :) Thanks again for your work.
