- Hi @Braganza sorry for the delay. I did look at it early on the 26th and there was no results content at that time, and unfortunately I did not get a chance to get back to it, but it's approved now. Thanks for your patience and regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 10:59, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Question from Bharathik466 (15:51, 28 September 2022)
Hello 👋 I wanna know about adding photographs? --Bharathik466 (talk) 15:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Bharathik466 thanks for your interest in Wikipedia. Adding photographs to Wikipedia can be quite a complicated issue. The best way to start is can you tell what photographs you want to add? In almost all cases, adding photos to Wikipedia requires that there are no copyright restrictions on the photographs. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 11:02, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Question from EditorAbhishek1 (17:22, 5 October 2022)
hello sir what when someone continuously edit wrong edit repeatedly --EditorAbhishek1 (talk) 17:22, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @EditorAbhishek1 - there are different things to do and a lot depends on what is happening exactly. Is it clear that the problem is not a content dispute? If it is a content dispute, the best thing is to try to discuss on the article talk page, if that doesn't work you can ask for a third opinion. However, if this is something happening across many articles, then leaving a message on the editor's talk page is the first thing to do. If there's no response, you could ask for help at the help desk - indicate what precisely is the problem (which articles, which edits). If it is certain the editor is being disruptive, you can report an editor, but in this case it needs to be very clear the problem is not edit warring over content. More information about dispute resolution is available here. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 20:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
Hello Goldsztajn/Archives/2022,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
- There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
- Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
- Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
- This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
Pankaj Vohra
Hi, please mention on the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sunday_Guardian page that the Managing Editor of The Sunday Guardian is Mr. Pankaj Vohra. You can check the website of itv Networks which clearly mentions that https://www.itvnetwork.com/about-team Thank you (talk) 08:45, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- @50FN1 You should discuss this request on the talk page of the article. Given you tried to make this edit a few hours earlier and it was reverted, make sure you include a reliable source. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 10:18, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Let me correct you it was not "few hours", it was "few days ago" and you reverted it without even doing some research. As I have attached many time before, the link of the website of itv Networks, the company which owns The Sunday Guardian Newspaper, which of course you never even cared to open. The reason I updated the name of Mr. Pankaj Vohra as the managing editor of the Sunday Guardian because in the Wikipedia's newspaper page column there is an option for Managing Editor (maneditor). Hope this time you open the link which is the "reliable source"
- https://www.itvnetwork.com/about-team (talk) 14:00, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- @50FN1: You're correct; my mistake with regard to the time difference. On 9 October 2022 at 05:38:25 (UTC) and 05:39:00 (UTC) you made two edits to the Sunday Guardian page adding unsourced material. This was reverted an hour later at 06:38:00 (UTC) by Tulsi, not me. Six days later you requested I remake your edit that was reverted. However, my mistake in identifying the time frame (a few hours versus some days) doesn't change that the best way to have addressed this issue was to do it via the article's talk page in conversation with the editor who made the reversion. This is what I did with you, when you reverted my edits on Ranjit Singh Chautala. This way of working is known as bold, revert, disucss - I encourage you to read that link. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:18, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

template on the Talk:The Sunday Guardian page in the following format: {{ping|Tulsi}}, you can send a notification to the editor who reverted your edit and they will hoepfully respond to you there. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 10:06, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Early end of the backlog drive
A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.
Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.
Great work everyone! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Question from Nickh85 (00:14, 25 October 2022)
I’m looking to create a page for a business that’s almost historical but is still currently running strong. My grandfather started the business with a partner and feel it would be appropriate to create a page --Nickh85 (talk) 00:14, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Nickh85 - welcome to Wikipedia. On the face of it, what you describe is a conflict of interest; in general, it's best not to edit areas of Wikipedia where one has a connection. Nevertheless, you can request articles. I'd also suggest looking for further help at the WP:TEAHOUSE. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 09:57, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
