Hi Mariamnei. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 08:08, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Clovermoss, thanks for the invitation! I really appreciate it. I hope to be able to get to it sometime next week. Could you let me know a bit more about how the process works? Should I just reply directly through the "Add your answers" section? Mariamnei (talk) 06:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, clicking the blue button and answering is all you need to do. Feel free to take your time. :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 09:20, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Clovermoss, thank you again for the opportunity to participate! I've just finished filling the survey. If you need any further information or clarification, feel free to reach out! Best of luck with your project! Mariamnei (talk) 12:21, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Mariamnei, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! asilvering (talk) 00:58, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Asilvering, thanks a lot for giving me the reviewer right! I’ll take a look at the guidelines and resources before diving in. Excited to give page reviewing a try. Mariamnei (talk) 06:28, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Cheers! By the way, there's an active NPP Discord (link at WT:NPP/R) if you're interested. -- asilvering (talk) 16:04, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

P. N. P. Inbasekharan

Hello, I've declined your speedy deletion nomination of P. N. P. Inbasekharan, as the article is ineligible under WP:CSD#A7. The article clearly asserts his notability, as he was elected to a state legislative assembly. Wikishovel (talk) 11:40, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

I've also declined your speedy nomination of P. N. Periannan, for the same reason. Wikishovel (talk) 11:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thank you for your comments. Would you mind explaining what I am missing here? Is anyone elected to any position by definition notable? Thanks for the clarification. Mariamnei (talk) 12:25, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

That's an excellent question. Have a look at WP:NPOL, which notes that "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels" are presumed notable. Here in the United Kingdom, for example, that would mean members of the national Parliament of the UK, and also the Welsh Assembly, the Scottish Parliament, and the Northern Ireland Assembly, but often not city councillors or county councillors. Wikishovel (talk) 12:40, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thank you very much for the explanation! Mariamnei (talk) 07:52, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion: Diogo Brito

Hi there, and thank you for your help with NPP! I wanted to let you know that I've declined your G5 speedy deletion nomination of Diogo Brito. G5 only applies to pages created in violation of a block. Because the editor was not blocked at the time of page creation, the page is ineligible for G5.

Additionally, I noticed you marked the page as reviewed after nominating it for speedy deletion. This is an understandable instinct. However, pages tagged for speedy deletion should not be marked as reviewed. If the speedy deletion is declined (as in this case), the page would then be marked as reviewed (unless someone marked it as unreviewed, as I have done). This can result in problematic articles being marked as reviewed. This is different from pages nominated for deletion via AfD. By the end of the deletion discussion, there will be consensus about the page's inclusion on Wikipedia, so it's OK to mark as reviewed.

I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 13:51, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

@Significa liberdade - Thank you for the explanation. Would you mind explaining when G5 would apply? If a user is already blocked, how do they create a new page? And how can I tell whether they were blocked before or after creating the page?

I did something similar for a number of pages. If you need to remove any other pages, would you mind just marking them as unreviewed? Thank you very much and have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 13:57, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Pages are eligible for G5 when an editor engages in block evasion or sockpuppetry. Typically, pages are tagged for G5 following a completed sockpuppet investigation (SPI). For example, editor A is blocked for disruptive editing in August, then they create a new account (editor A1) and continue editing. An SPI determines that A1 is an account that's evading a block (editor A), so all the pages created by A1 are then deleted via G5. I hope that makes sense! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:00, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Adding on to this, I presume you were using the filter to show blocked users. While this isn't always helpful for G5, showing blocked users can be helpful for other reasons. You can check why a user was blocked, then see if the pages you're looking at show similar concerns. For example, an editor may be blocked for speedily creating unreviewed, LLM-generated pages. In this case, it's highly likely that the pages still in the queue are also LLM-generated. You wouldn't automatically assume they are, but you can be on the lookout for very specific issues. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:03, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

@Significa liberdade - Thank you very much for your explanation! I'm really trying to get the hang of this! Mariamnei (talk) 14:15, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

NPP review of Lalith Alahakoon article

Hello Mariamnei, I refer to the article Lalith Alahakoon which was marked reviewed by you ([1]). However, you have also added the BLP sources and notability tags ([2]). These two tags are in addition to the three tags I had previously placed. If the article fails to meet the inclusion criteria, it should not have been marked as reviewed. Upon a cursory observation of your page curation log ([3]), I noticed a number of articles which have been tagged for various shortcomings but also marked as reviewed. I have not unreviewed the above article but I would be obliged if you could clarify if this was intentional or an oversight on your part. If it was an omission, it would be appreciated if you could kindly correct same. Regards. QEnigma 论 05:26, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

About the PCN page deletion

Hello, Mariamnei. I saw you recently deleted the Conservative Nationalist Party page beacuse of lack of sources. Fair enough. That helps Wikipedia have pages with no misinformation. Buuut let me tell you something: there are no fucking sources for it online! Sooo idk if i can do anything and even if i can i will be too lazy/unexperienced to do it. Anyways, much love, RobyKiller RobyKiller (talk) 14:01, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi @RobyKiller - Thank you for reaching out to me. Sources absolutely do not need to be online. You can find a books about the party in a library and cite them, although you should have multiple, independent, verifiable sources. Unfortunately an article with no sources whatsoever does not really contribute to the encyclopedia. Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 14:06, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Please be careful with BLP reviews of academics

I just went over Bruno Ehrler, and the page had considerable WP:Peacock which I removed. He also had several junior awards which are WP:MILL, which I also removed. He is marginal for a pass of WP:NPROF, the criteria are different, particularly in the sciences. At least for the moment I am leaving the page in main, but it might be subject to AfD particularly as the sources are all too closely affiliated. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:08, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi Mariamnei, I was wondering why you marked this article as reviewed instead of kicking it back to draft, CSD or AfD - at the time you reviewed it, there was only one source that as far as I can tell doesn't indicate that the subject is notable. In case the article's deleted before you see this, the source given at the time was this one from VOI; added later were Jakarta Post (which doesn't mention him), Blogspot (user generated, no obvious sign of notability), and Tempo (doesn't mention him). Could you elaborate on what you saw that I'm missing? Thanks for your time :) Meadowlark (talk) 09:06, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

@Meadowlark - Thank you for your comments. I added the [[WP:BLP]] tag, and perhaps I should have added the notability tag. Would you be able to explain to me when it's better to open an AfD or making it a draft rather than just adding tags? Mariamnei (talk) 06:22, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

I may have also been assuming that her credentials as a politician contributed to her notability, but looking again, it doesn't say anything about positions she held. Mariamnei (talk) 08:53, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for responding! I've spent most of my time at AfC so I sort of approach these things as I would if they were a draft there - of course I realize your options are different. What caught my eye with this one is that as far as I can tell, there's nothing making me think they'd pass WP:NPOL or WP:GNG, and none of the sources pass WP:42. Over at AfC we decline drafts that don't have at least a claim to notability and three or more good sources, so that's my guide for the bare minimum.

If they had a couple of good sources that showed a claim to notability and I could see there were more with a quick Google, I'd probably tag it and let it go. With this one, I would probably have draftified since it's possible that there's notability that we have no evidence of - maybe the original editor can find more, especially if they speak Indonesian. If they pushed it back into mainspace, I would send it to AfD. So basically, if you think the subject could be notable then I'd draftify, and if you're certain they're not then AfD. And if it comes back out of draft without improvement, off to AfD we go! Does that sound reasonable given your NPP experience? Meadowlark (talk) 09:17, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

@Meadowlark - Thank you! That's actually a very good summary of the complexities that I have been trying to understand since I've started reviewing. I will try to look for these moving forward! Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 09:24, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

October 2025

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Hasmonean dynasty when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:47, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Shaikh Hamdan

The article Shaikh Hamdan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. All available sources provide only incidental or routine mentions of the subject in articles about Karachi United. No significant, independent coverage establishing notability as a football manager.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Acrom12 (talk) 13:16, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

@Acrom12 - Thank you for your message. I think we were reviewing the page at the same time. I moved it draft space and you marked it for deletion. Unless I'm missing something, I think we both felt the same way about the page not being ready for main space. Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 13:21, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

@Mariamnei - Thank you for the message and for taking the time to move it. I had just proposed deletion, but I agree draftifying was the best call — glad we reached the same conclusion. Have a great day too! Acrom12 (talk) 13:27, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Yaroslav Kruk article

Hello! You moved the article about Yaroslav Kruk to drafts. I have revised it, added a source, supplemented the section on his work, and improved the justification of the importance of his personality for Ukrainian art of the second half of the 20th century. Please tell me how to publish an article from drafts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Yaroslav_Kruk

@Re non verbis - Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, taking a quick look at this page, I still don't think it is ready for main space. The entire biography and exhibitions sections do not have any footnotes (there should be a footnote at the end of each sentence), and notability is still not shown (notability for artists is most often shown by showing that reliable, secondary sources talk about them). I will of course help you move the article when it's ready, but we are unfortunately not there yet (technically, you just click move on the top left corner, but if you do so now, it will probably just be drafted or deleted again). Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 12:25, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Also, please fix the bare URLs. Mariamnei (talk) 12:26, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Article reviewing

Thank you for reviewing my recent article ive just created. But i have some other articles which i created but are not yet reviewed up to now, some are over a month now. Here are some of the articles; Tonse Alliance, Alfred Gangata, Lake Malawi (Lake Nyasa) territorial dispute, Kamuzu Palace, Mulhako wa Alhomwe, and Daud Suleman.

Kindly do the needful please. They're not apprearing from Google. Thank you Af265 (talk) 07:33, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

@Af265 - Thank you for your note. I will try to take a look at these articles, but I cannot promise when I will get to them all. There are lots of articles to review :). Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 07:53, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

@Af265 - I think I have reviewed all of these articles. It didn't take me as long as I had expected. If I missed something, please let me know. Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 08:56, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Ive taken note of the comments youve provided. I'll act accordingly Af265 (talk) 09:35, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

@Mariamnei Sorry to trouble you but could you also please review 2025 Tanzanian election protests about the ongoing civil unrest in Tanzania.

Your moves to drafts

Hello. Thanks for your help with New Page Patrol, but please read WP:DRAFTNO: you've been moving new articles to draft too quickly. Wikishovel (talk) 12:14, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thanks for your comments and for referring me to WP:DRAFTNO. I'm still trying to refine my reviewing skills. So I can understand better - Is the issue you're referring to specific to the cases where I have moved an article to drafts more than once, or do you think in general I've been too quick to move to drafts? Thanks and have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 12:22, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Too quick, and sometimes not for the best reasons. For example, Ephraim Joseph Hirschfeld was created by User:Afus199620, an editor in good standing with over 21 thousand edits since 2017. You moved the article to draft 17 minutes after creation, and 12 minutes after User:Afus199620's most recent edit. Your rationale for this was that there were no footnotes when you reviewed it. Far better to add some footnotes, and maybe tag it for more, rather than rush to move it to draft. I've moved it back to main space, and I'm pleased to see that User:Afus199620 is continuing to edit the article. I've tagged it for "more footnotes". A move to draft as sudden as that can be confusing and irritating for experienced editors: I was in the middle of adding an inline reference when you moved it. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 12:32, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thank you for your explanation. I will keep that in mind moving forward. Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 12:35, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Please read WP:DRAFTNO more carefully. You just moved International Council for Laboratory Animal Science while its article creator was in the middle of constructive edits. This was unhelpful. Please stop. Wikishovel (talk) 12:51, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thank you for your feedback. I will read it again. Can you please clarify how I know that they are in the middle of constructive edits? Does this include anything that has been edited recently? Thanks and have a good day! Mariamnei (talk) 12:57, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

You simply look at the page's history. You moved it in the same minute as the creator's last edit, rather than waiting an hour. I've moved it back to main space, and apologised to User:ACYH1234 on your behalf. Wikishovel (talk) 13:01, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thank you for the clarification. I will try to be more careful moving forward, and I will perhaps consult you before drafting an article if I'm unsure. Mariamnei (talk) 13:03, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Just trying to understand this better. Do you think Johor State Route J8 could be moved to draft space? It doesn't have sources and it hasn't been edited in over an hour. Thank you! Mariamnei (talk) 13:20, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

If you look at its history, it was originally created as a redirect in June 2014, so it's ineligible to be moved to draft. Wikishovel (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thank you for pointing that out. So would RfD be the best move in this case? Sorry to bother you with so many questions, I'm just trying to get the hang of this. Mariamnei (talk) 13:26, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

No, WP:RFD is for redirects, and Johor State Route J8 is no longer a redirect. You could try to find some references for it, or if that fails, you could revert it to a redirect. If the unsourced information is re-added, and still no references can be found, then you could take it to WP:AFD, and propose redirecting as an alternative to deletion in your deletion rationale. Wikishovel (talk) 13:30, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel - Thank you! I will try to take those steps! Have a good day! Mariamnei (talk) 13:32, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

On Mr. Heartsong

I have removed your page curation tags under the premise that I believe that there is sufficient secondary sourcing there to warrant notability and adequate reliability and independence of sources.

Kunal Jaiswal (director)

Thank you for reviewing the article. I would like to clarify that the page contains reliable and verifiable references from reputable sources. The content has been written with a neutral point of view NPOV, and all statements are properly supported by citations.

If you noticed any specific issue, I am happy to improve it further. However, considering the quality of sources and the neutral presentation, the deletion tag does not seem necessary. Kindly reconsider the deletion tag, as the article meets the required notability and sourcing guidelines.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Journalist Of Bharat (talk) 16:51, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

@Journalist Of Bharat - Thank you for reaching out to me. I did not add a deletion tag, but rather I added a tag that you need more sources because of WP:BLP. This is specifically because of the one paragraph that is unsourced. "Jaiswal made his directorial debut in music videos with Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo, released under Zee Music Company. He has since directed multiple music videos, including Bas Tera, Shaam Se, Sajda / Tera Sajda, Khicha Khicha, and Tu To Bhatka Hai." Please a a source for this and then everything will be good.

Feedback on your review of Naresh Kumar Kumawat

Hey Mariamnei, I just wanted to let you know that I've left some feedback for the article creator and put this back into the NPP queue. Since you marked this as reviewed, I'd recommend you take a look through these points for future reference. I'm happy to answer any questions you night have about this! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:19, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

@TechnoSquirrel69 - Thank you for this feedback. Can you please give me some general guidance how to tell when sources are "Paid reporting in Indian news organizations"? Do you just check the specific source in WP:RSP? Does this mean that all sources from India need to be checked thoroughly against the list? Thanks and have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 12:47, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

It's unfortunately hard to tell sometimes, since otherwise reliable publications tend to do this from time to time without disclosure. I don't think I can do much better than the advice in § Paid reporting in Indian news organizations of RSP. The most reliable tell, in my experience, is the vague or nonexistent byline — for example, The Times of India will sometimes use the "TOI Staff" byline for promoted content. There's more nuance to it, however, and I would recommend starting a conversation at RSN or the NPP talk page for second opinions if you're doubting a specific source. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:37, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

@TechnoSquirrel69 - Thank you for your advice. Mariamnei (talk) 10:59, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

OR map

User generated maps don't need to be "aligned" to sources, they need to actually be sourced to them, and the image you have restored does not cite any RS and so is a violation of WP:OR. This is an axiomatic policy and not one that should be blithely ignored. I would invite you to self-revert up until such a time as RS sources have been added to the image profile. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:51, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. The map is clearly based on established historical and geographical definitions supported by reliable sources on Second Temple era Judaea (I saw comparable maps on several scholarly works, historical atlases, etc., having written this article not long ago). I'll update the file page with clear citations so everything's fully documented. If you believe the map doesn't accurately reflect Hasmonean territory, please share the academic or peer reviewed sources you're relying on, I'm happy to take a look. But until there's solid evidence to the contrary, I don't think removing a long-standing map is warranted. Improving the sourcing on the file page is definitely a good step, though; I welcome you to help me to do so. Mariamnei (talk) 09:23, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Long-standing content is not the same thing as content standing in good stead. Age is not a virtue, and potentially OR content doesn't get brownie points for historic persistence. In any case, the map has not been longstanding anywhere. The WP:BURDEN of evidence is on supporting the content in the first point, not in questioning what has never been supported in the first place. It's generally preferable simply to source an existing map from a scholarly text. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:36, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Siege of Jerusalem (70 CE)

On 30 November 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Siege of Jerusalem (70 CE), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during the siege of Jerusalem in the First Jewish Revolt, the Romans crucified prisoners in various positions to intimidate the defenders into surrender? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Siege of Jerusalem (70 CE). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Siege of Jerusalem (70 CE)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

I have sent you a note about a page you reviewed

Hi Mariamnei. Thank you for your work on Manmohan G. Vaidya. Another editor, Pythoncoder, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

This article looks AI-generated. Sentences like "covered by multiple mainstream outlets" are a major red flag — see WP:AISIGNS.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Pythoncoder}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@Pythoncoder - Thank you for pointing this out to me. I will try to look for these features in the future. Mariamnei (talk) 10:58, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

One question

You have a care for quality and seem to know a lot about the archaeology of the southern Levant. The article on Jericho currently has problems due to a lack of sufficient sourcing in various parts of its "History and archaeology" section. I have recently noticed that the archaeologist Lorenzo Nigro, who has directed the most recent excavations at the site, has recently authored a book dealing with the history of the site up to the Islamic period (see [4]), but the book is in Italian and I have difficulty in understanding the language. I am aware that your work here focuses on the Hellenistic era through Late Antiquity while the book covers additional periods, but since you might presumably possess a native comprehension of Italian, I would like to ask if you could consult the book and tell me if you could help to improve the page. Thank you for your attention. Potatín5 (talk) 15:00, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Potatín5, thanks for reaching out! I'll be happy to help with this article. Do you happen to know where I could access a full copy of the book? Maybe through the Wikipedia Library or another archive? Mariamnei (talk) 15:34, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

@Mariamnei: Sorry, I do not know where to find a full copy of the book online. I purchased my own one. Maybe you could find it at some public or university library. Thank you for your response. Potatín5 (talk) 20:31, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
