The New York Times Non-Fiction Best Sellers of 1999 - rejection feedback

I am trying to add to the set of Wikipedia Pages for The New York Times Non-Fiction Best Sellers by Year. Wikipedia currently has pages for 2000-2018, and a few years scattered between 1931 - 2000. I submitted a page for 1999, following the same style as the pages for years that had previously been reported and apparently approved. The reviewer denied the page saying 'Lacks significant coverage in multiple independent verifiable secondary sources'. The currently existing pages for 2000-2018 have very few references, all from the NYTimes itself and no other independent secondary source. I received this additional feedback about the post - "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability". It's is unclear to me if this is referring to the content itself or just the reference material. The NYTimes best seller list is considered the preeminent list of best selling books and is used across the US as a benchmark for a book's success - it is undoubtedly notable information. How can I improve the page so that it's approved? Should the pages that exist now include more references? Thanks! Appreciate the assistance!Charmquark2 (talk) 15:42, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject issues

@Dan arndt: Is it a general habit to avoid replying to messages there and instead post condescending messages on private talk pages? I was under the impression I didn't have to just sit there and have my contributions hand-waved away and be called 'petty' by some keyboard warrior. What was an outburst about it? I simply responded to the comments made there, and the community's arrogant, selfish outlook and your avoidance of my question on a user that was openly pushing a nationalist agenda. Did you post a message of this type on his talk page when Blackknight pretty much insulted everyone else except you?
You can assist me by replying to messages there where everyone can see them. - ක - (talk) 04:47, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello Dan arndt, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules
  • New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
  • Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
  • Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
  • Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
  • The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Request for realistic review of Draft:Additional Chief Secretary Home

Dear Dan arndt, this is with reference to your comment on this AFC i.e. according to the Department's website the current incumbent is Dr. Nirmaljit Singh Kalsi IAS which, unfortunately, is incorrect. You are, perhaps, talking of India whereas I have created the article on a Government official in Pakistan. Please note that IAS stands for Indian Administrative Service which once used to be ICS i.e. Indian Civil Service whereas PAS stands for Pakistan Administrative Service previously known as DMG or District Management Group. Please review the article, accordingly. Humble regards.JC Bills (talk) 07:09, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your help with getting some of the full names and dates of birth/death included in the Lynn de Silva article. I was wondering where you got that information from, so that we could maybe cite it? In particular, where did you find the names of Lynn's father (John Simon de Silva), his brothers (Frederick Stanley and George Denzil), and their dates of birth, for example, 1868-1940 for John and 1904-1980 for Fred?

Many thanks, Ldesilva (talk) 09:10, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
