Please don't just copy web pages, as you have just done for [[Ian McEwan]]. They are almost always unusable in Wikipedia terms, and have to be deleted for copyright reasons.  As you see, we already have a McEwan page. You are welcome to edit that, but please note the copyright warning appearing below the edit box.

== Band Music ==

Welcome to wikipedia. We have been writing on different topics related to Bangladesh. It would be great if you write about the band profiles. However, please do not COPY from other websites. Just rephrase contents. Also put proper category tags at the end so we can look into them in an organized manner. Finally, thanks for your efforts. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 21:15, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Voting for Biography collaboration of the week ==

Hi, the article [[Sheikh Hasina]] has been nominated for voting at "Biography collaboration of the week". What this will do is that for a week, people of the team would contribute to make the article enriched, balanced and complete. Since this is an article about a Bangladeshi politician and a rich article would promote Bangladesh more, I think regardless of political beliefs we can vote for it. Even if you are opposed to her political ideology, you can be sure that both her positive and negative sides would be presented in a Collaboration of the week article. Please vote at [[Wikipedia:Biography Collaboration of the Week#Sheikh Hasina .28July_21.29]] by signing your name with <nowiki># ~~~~ </nowiki>. Thanks. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 04:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks for the vote, if you know any other interested person, spread the message, the vote would conclude in 2 days, so we need some more votes to have it chosen. Thanks. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 07:58, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Welcome, Yemenis! ==

Hi guys, 

Thank you and Welcome! Basically I've been a contributor to WP for sometime, and I also have a strong interest in [[Middle Eastern]] languages, history and culture. A couple of us noticed that coverage of [[Arabic literature]] was really really terrible which is really sad because Wikipedia is the main place that people come to these days when they want to learn about a subject/person, etc. So even if I don't speak or understand [[Arabic]], I trawled the internet and googled as many different ways as possible and compiled a list of [[Yemen]]i authors. (I am going to move on to other Arab countries eventually but I started with [[Yemen]] because it seemed to have the least information of all.) When I started last month, there were just two entries on AA Maqalih and the poet Baradouni. So I started working on the list systematically and so far me and another user, we've added about 40 authors, the links are in blue. To keep track of progress, I also created the template. The links in red are still to be done. 

Because I have no expertise in Arabic, the information resources I have on Yemeni lit are very very limited. Basically it boils down to 3 or 4 main sources (mainly in English, one in Italian) and the rest I have had to google as creatively as possible. Even so, it's possible to get a sense of the outline of the country's literature - i.e. some of the big writers are Dammaj, Abdalwali, [[Ahmad Mahfuz Umar]], etc; the big poets include Maqalih and Baradouni; the well-known young writers are people like [[Wajdi al-Ahdal]] and [[Nadia al-Kawkabani]]. Still, there are big gaps - for example, there is nothing on Al-Zubayri although I understand he is an important figure. So basically, I guess what I am asking you guys, who are Yemeni and also fluent in English, is for some help in identifying the major writers (say top 10 or top 20) and help to fill out the gaps in their profiles. If there is someone who is totally missing, then please feel free to give us names. Among the important things that would be good to have would be: 

* place of birth 
* education details, if available 
* worklife details, if available
* progression of literary career and 
* list of main books (novels, short stories and poetry collections) with dates. Also where they are these days and what are they up to (although this is less important). 

So there it is! I really appreciate your taking the time to read this, and I would be absolutely thrilled to get any help from you at all. Hopefully some of you will have access to resources or you'll know of people who are willing and able to help. 

Thanks a whole bunch!

== New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022 ==

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},
[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|thumb|right|120px]]
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination/2022 WMF letter|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 [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-09-30/In focus|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 {{Noping|MPGuy2824}}), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to {{no ping|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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Awards|Awards page]]. Check out the new [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Awards#NPP_Hall_of_Fame|Hall of Fame]] also.
 	
'''Software news''': {{Noping|Novem Linguae}} and {{Noping|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 [[Wikipedia:Page_Curation/Suggested_improvements/Phab_tickets#Closed_tickets|here]]. The [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/Top_new_article_reviewers|reviewer report]] has also been improved.
[[File:2022-10-16 NPP backlog chart.jpg|thumb|450px|right|NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022]]
'''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 [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Care|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:Lourdes/PageCuration|user script]] puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

'''Backlog''':[[File:Everlasting Fireworks looped.gif|80px|left]] 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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/October 2022|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!

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to {{noping|WaddlesJP13}} who led with 2084 points. See [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/October 2022|this page]] for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
;2022 Awards
[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|74px|left]]
{{no ping|Onel5969}} won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. {{no ping|Rosguill}} led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294  redirects. For the full details see the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Awards|Awards page]] and the [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Awards#NPP_Hall_of_Fame|Hall of Fame]]. Congratulations everyone!

'''Minimum deletion time''': The previous  [[WP:NPP]] guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and [[WP:BLAR]]). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|feed]] are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.) 

'''New draftify script''': In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly [[Help:Unreviewed new page|explanation page]]. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your [[Special:MyPage/common.js|common.js]] or vector.js file from <code>User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js</code> to <code>User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js</code>'''

'''Redirects''': Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirects|this guide]], [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Redirect_checklist|this checklist]], and spend some time at [[WP:RFD]].

'''Discussions with the WMF''' The [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination/2022 WMF letter|PageTriage open letter]] signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted [[gerrit:q/repo:mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage+is:merged+NOT+author:Libraryupgrader+NOT+author:L10n-bot+before:2022-12-31|dozens of patches]] in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as {{noping|Novem Linguae}} and {{noping|MPGuy2824}} have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also [[Wikipedia talk:Growth Team features#Meeting details|had a video conference]] with the NPP coordinators to discuss [[User:Novem Linguae/Drafts/New landing page proposal|revamping the landing pages]] that new users see.

'''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.

'''Redirect autopatrol''': All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list#Requests|here]].

'''WMF work on PageTriage''': The [[mw:Moderator Tools|WMF Moderator Tools team]], consisting of {{noping|Samwalton9 (WMF)|label1=Sam|JSherman (WMF)|label2=Jason|SCardenas (WMF)|label3=Susana}}, and also some patches from {{noping|Jon (WMF)|label1=Jon}}, has been hard at work [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/2023 Moderator Tools project|updating PageTriage]]. 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.

'''Articles for Creation (AFC)''': All new page reviewers are now '''automatically approved''' for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at [[WT:AFCP]] like was required previously). To install the [[WP:AFCH|AFC helper script]], visit [[Special:Preferences]], visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit [[Special:NewPagesFeed]], and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at [[WP:AFCR]]. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). 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.

'''Pro tip''': Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own [[WP:SNG|SNG]]? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is [[WP:ARTIST]] 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

== References ==

Thanks for contributing articles such as [[Marcos Peres]], but please format your references properly rather than leaving them as "Bare URLs". I thought perhaps you hadn't finished with this article - but I see you've created another one since then, and also that you left [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nosso_Sonho&oldid=1288897420 several] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Paiva&oldid=1289404786 previous] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bartolomeu_Campos_de_Queir%C3%B3s&oldid=1289887765 articles] with Bare URLs before other editors came and fixed them for you. You're not a new editor, so please format your own refs. Thanks. [[User:PamD|<span style="color: green">'''''Pam'''''</span>]][[User talk:PamD|<span style="color: brown">'''''D'''''</span>]] 22:02, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

== May 2025 ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to [[Marcos Peres]]! However, adding a [[WP:BAREURL|bare URL]] is not ideal, and exposes the reference to [[WP:LINKROT|link rot]]. It is preferable to use proper [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation templates]] when [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|citing sources]], including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a [[bibliographic citation]]. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{tl|cite web}} template to cite a web page:
: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.</syntaxhighlight>
which displays ''[[Wikipedia:Inline citation|inline]]'' in the running text of the article as:
:Lorem ipsum{{fake ref|1}} dolor sit amet.
and displays under '''References''' as:
#^ [https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac]". ''Ask a Question''. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.
If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: in the [[Wikipedia:Source editor|wikitext editor]], try the [[WP:REFILL|reFill tool]], and in the [[WP:Visual Editor|Visual Editor]], the [[Help:Visual Editor#Adding a new reference|reference dialog]] can convert some bare urls into a full citation.
Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. <!-- Template:Uw-bareurl --> [[User:PamD|<span style="color: green">'''''Pam'''''</span>]][[User talk:PamD|<span style="color: brown">'''''D'''''</span>]] 22:05, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

== Links to dab pages ==

Please take care not to link to disambiguation pages (as you did to [[Brazilian]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcos_Peres&oldid=1291069170 this edit]): check that all your links go to the page you intended.
There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page. Thanks, and Happy Editing.

== Sortkey etc ==

Please also remember to add DEFAULTSORT and categories such as [[:Category:1984 births]] and [[:Category:Living people]].

There is an easy way to do this: use {{tl|L}}, which has to be "subst"ed, so goes like: <code><nowiki>{{subst:L|1984||Peres, Marcos}}</nowiki></code>.

== I have sent you a note about a page you started ==

Hi Peripatetic. Thank you for your work on [[Citra Sasmita]]. Another editor, [[User:Netherzone|Netherzone]], has reviewed it as part of [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|new pages patrol]] and left the following comment:

{{Bq|1=Thank you for creating the article on this Indonesian artist. It needs more citations to establish notability (and to insure it does not get deleted); sources exist on the internet some are very good for example, Hyperallergic and Ocula are excellent sources for visual arts. Thank again, it is good to know about her work.}}

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{code|<nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Netherzone<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}}. <small>(Message delivered via the [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/Help|Page Curation]] tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)</small><!-- Template:Sentnote-NPF -->
