Hello! I am contacting you in terms of letting you know that I believe my article has been declined unfairly by you. This person is fairly notable in Estonia and also in UK by having appearances in TV/Film, Cinema/Amazon/Netflix/Sky Movies and Fite.tv which is one of the highest grossing wrestling platform. This platform is also used by AEW. Please check the references which I have provided. These references also include official, notable national newspapers/magazines with added interviews with this person. I do strongly believe it was declined unfairly, therefore I felt I had to give you a little bit of explanation. Thank you! Hope you are having a great day

Lagoona6(talk) 13:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC) Hello! First of all I want to let you know if you receive two messages I apologize and I believe I didn't press publish when I sent it first time. Basically this article was decline by you and I believe it was declined unfairly because this person (not me) is definitely notable. Please check all the references which I have provided. It includes notable national newspapers/magazines with added interviews. This person has appeared on TV/Film/Cinema, Netflix, Amazon Prime Movies, Sky Movies just to name a few. I have actuelly seen it myself which is the reason why I created this article as I couldn't find a wikipedia page for this person. So had to do some digging myself. I'm pretty sure I have seen him on advertisements aswell but not too sure about this one. Anyway, just wanted to ask you to review it again and check the references. I also added fite.tv reference which is one of the most notable wrestling networks out there. Thank you very much! Have a great day!Lagoona6(talk)13:45, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Lagoon6- This person does not meet ourgeneral notability guidelinesby what has been shown here. Someone appearing on notable things doesn't make them notable. See our policy onnotability not being inherited.There wrestling career is completely irrelevant, and not notable in any way. Appearing for a tiny independent fed means very little, and is completely cited to source material and a non-reliable sourceblog. The rest of the sources talk about the things they are in, but do not talk about the subject much, if at all. As a reminder, articles need the subject to have "significant coverage in reliable and independent sources".

In addition, when going throughWP:AfC,you should retain the comments by reviewers. We do not do this role for our comments to be deleted. Best Wishes,Lee Vilenski^{(talk•contribs)}14:19, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Lee Vilenski/Archives/2020,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done byRosguillwho was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go toJTtheOGandOnel5969who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks toJohn B123,Hughesdarren,andMccaprawho all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed byDannyS712which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on theredirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank youDannyS712has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Cite Unseen update

Hello! Thank you for usingCite Unseen.The script recently received a significant update, detailed below.

You can now toggle which icons you do or don't want to see. Seethe configuration sectionfor details. All icons are enabled by default except for the newgenerally reliable icon (described below).
New categorizations/icons:
- Advocacy:Organizations that are engaged in advocacy (anything from political to civil rights to lobbying). Note that an advocacy group can be reliable; this indicator simply serves to note when a source's primary purpose is to advocate for certain positions or policies, which is important to keep in mind when consuming a source.
- Editable:Sites that are editable by the public, such as wikis (Wikipedia,Fandom) or some databases (IMDb,Discogs).
- Predatory journals:These sites charge publication fees to authors without checking articles for quality and legitimacy.
- Perennial source categories:Cite Unseen will mark sources asgenerally reliable,marginally reliable,generally unreliable,deprecated, andblacklisted. This is based onWikipedia's perennial sources list,which reflects community consensus on frequently discussed sources. Sources that have multiple categorizations are marked asvaried reliability. Note thatgenerally reliable icons aredisabledby default to reduce clutter, but you can enable themthrough your custom config.A special thanks toNewslinger,whosenew Sourceror APIprovides the perennial sources list in a clean, structured format.
With the addition of the new categorizations, thebiased source icon has been removed. This category was very broad, and repetitive to the new advocacy and perennial sources categorizations that are more informative.

If you have any feedback, requested features, or domains to add/remove, don't hesitate to bring it upon the script's talk page.Thank you!~SuperHamsterTalk Contribs23:10, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
