Importing userscripts
Hi TheSandDoctor, importing userscripts from non-sysops gives them access to your toolset. It's not as bad as if you were a checkuser or oversighter, but "advisable" would be an overstatement.
Fortunately, if you trust the current code not to become malicious over time (e.g. by importing stuff that could be changed later, or by having a timer after which it turns evil), a solution is to use the following syntax to pin one specific revision:
mw.loader.load('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/Angrenamer.js&oldid=1082732803&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
Alternatively and more simply, as everything is freely licensed, you may like to create a copy of the current code in your own userspace and import that instead.
Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:21, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- @ToBeFree: That is a very good point, thank you for raising this. I don't know why I never thought of this. I have gone through my user scripts and think I got them all now. Please let me know if you notice anything I missed. --TheSandDoctor Talk 16:45, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick fix! Looks good to me

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello TheSandDoctor,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
>NPP backlog: 11172 as of 23:00, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
- To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Request for Help To Make April Fool's Article TFA
(Note before you read I am a newer editor and that I can not do as much stuff as you can, for example I can not put down the site for the teahouse, also this is informal but I am sort of serious.) For April Fool's day, I have been thinking that it has been since 2021 that we got a joke Today's Featured Article, and the WikiGnome article has everything, it has the conversation status, it has the scientific classification, and not to mention pictures of the rarely seen WikiGnome, and considering that you are a top-leveled in the Wikipedia ladder, semi-WikiGnome, smart person, I thought I would ask you. However, there is one major problem to this concept. The article for the WikiGnome is basically a stub, however, with you, me, and possibly others help, there might be a chance that this idea would be brought into light, or at least I hope. Thank you for listening to me. Sportsfangnome (talk) 00:56, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Sportsfangnome: While that would be potentially interesting and a funny idea for a parody site, it is unlikely to happen here. The Wikipedia home page is taken quite seriously, though the "Did you know..." section can sometimes include some humour on that date. I don't think you're going to find much support for this idea in its current form.
TheSandDoctor Talk 03:36, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- Well thank you for the idea and the response. Sportsfangnome (talk) 03:52, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Mick Jagger
Hi there. I've just seen you've undone my edit for adding Jagger's birthplace citing the FAC. I don't see what's so controversial or contentious about adding "England" to the infobox. Almost every other article about a person lists their country of birth. Samuel J Walker (talk) 16:39, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
