PSU Nursing Article
Hello! I appreciate you editing my article. I just had some questions about the comments you made. In your comment, you mentioned "almost none of the content is actually supported by the references". However, I went through and confirmed that the citations are referenced in each spot they appear within the article. Do you have an example of where this is not successful so I know what to better fix? Additionally, I have worked to include other outside references. Because much of the detailed information comes from the college's website, that is why I include a handful of those. However, I have multiple notable mentions in various news outlets to showcase the topic's notability. I just wanted to follow up so I can better make edits. Thank you!

Please rate the article Uthiyur on quality scale. It seems to be a good article.

I'm not seeing a single independent secondary source on the above article. On what basis did you promote it from draftspace? 174.212.227.174 (talk) 20:53, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sources such as https://www.edcan.ca/awards/the-ken-spencer-award/2015-winners/ https://www.tricitynews.com/local-news/education-spotlight-teachers-at-coquitlam-school-finalists-for-cmolik-prize-3052569 https://reporter.mcgill.ca/introducing-mcgills-newest-loran-scholars/ https://www.tricitynews.com/local-news/the-hug-that-turned-a-foster-kid-into-a-son-3063362 Stuartyeates (talk) 21:05, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Passing mentions don't speak to notability and school newspapers are not generally considered reliable sources. The existence of sources isn't what your looking at when reviewing AfC submissions, it's the state of the draft. Also, if you're thinking that employees or students winning awards speaks to notability, that too is incorrect. See WP:INHERIT. 174.212.227.174 (talk) 09:08, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- If you have a problem with the article, I won't hold it against you if you put it up for deletion. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:56, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Stuartyeates,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 732 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 1034 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do 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.

Hello, Stuartyeates
Thank you for creating Katherine Singer Kovács.

Hi, You need to split the two list out of this articles, into two seperate articles. The awards are notable, they have massive. If you can expand this article with biographical, it really neeeds. If you need any help please contact me.
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Scope creep}}

@Scope creep: Alas I'm unable to make any of the excellent changes you suggest due to the fact that I'm currently topic banned from BLPs. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:34, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Stuartyeates: Thanks for getting back to me. I never knew that was a thing, to be honest. I guess I will need to do it. She seems to be major cultural figure. I'll leave an attribution so they know it was you that created the article. scope_creepTalk 20:44, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for your work. No need for any explicit attribution, it's all in the edit history. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:46, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
