Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Source Guide Discussion

The first [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Source guide discussions/Ghana|NPP source guide]] discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

;Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Pages Feed]]. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at [[WP:RPATROL]].

;Discussions and Resources

*There is an [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Improving_new_article_edit_notice|ongoing discussion]] around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.

*A recent discussion of whether [[Michelin star|Michelin starred]] restraunts are notable was [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_284#RFC_on_Michelin_stars_as_a_reliable_source_for_notability_of_restaurants|archived without closure]].

*A [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Resources|resource page]] with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.

*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Increasing_the_scope_of_WP%3AG5_vis-a-vis_socking.|proposal]] to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

;Refresher

[[WP:GEOLAND|Geographic regions, areas and places]] generally do not need [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of [[WP:SPAM]] for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

:I've warned you several times about the need to edit collaboratively at the page about the MEK. While none of the editors there have demonstrated particularly good behavior, your edit warring over content that did not have consensus, and your inability or unwillingness to understand the page restrictions, suggest you need a break from that page. When you reported another editor to ANEW, you were [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&oldid=941390434#User:Stefka_Bulgaria_reported_by_User:Saff_V._(Result:_No_violation) reminded] that the article had a consensus required restriction; then you chose to violate it anyway, with some extremely wiki-lawyerish arguments on the talk page. Please demonstrate an ability to work constructively and collaboratively on other related articles, otherwise I will likely expand this block to a topic-ban. <span style="font-family:Papyrus">[[User:Vanamonde93|Vanamonde]] ([[User Talk:Vanamonde93|Talk]])</span> 17:47, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed | 1=Yes, I should have observed the consensus required and I really did in previous cases. Also, please review ALL of MY edits on 19 February in MEK. Ypatch was roll backing all my changes. Some of them were removal of duplicated things. I promise to be more careful about observing this restriction and give me another chance. Please take a look at my constructive contributions. Indef block for the first time during my editing history was very sever here [[User:Saff V.|Saff V.]] ([[User talk:Saff V.#top|talk]]) 14:13, 20 February 2020 (UTC) | decline = This is generally inappropriate. See [[WP:GAB]]; you are expected to talk about your inappropriate actions, not those of other editors.

:I will let another admin judge this unblock request, but in opinion Saff V. will benefit from a break from [[People's Mujahedin of Iran]].

::::What's different is that you are now partially blocked after being under a brief restriction previously. I am evaluating the block in front of me.

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Ms96|Ms96]]. I noticed that you recently removed content from [[:2020 coronavirus outbreak in Iran]]&nbsp;without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the [[WP:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Ms96|my talk page]]. ''You wrongfully deleted correct, cited info in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran&type=revision&diff=942400455&oldid=942396779 this edit].

:@Ms96 , You just with 220 edits in English Wikipedia need to study wiki policies more carefully. I explained my reason for removing the material in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran&type=revision&diff=942400455&oldid=942396779 edit summary] "is n't supported by the source". But you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran&diff=942424229&oldid=942417518 reverted] it with no reason. You have to know that only mentioning "disruptive edit" is n't enough. The [[WP:REVEXP]] asked editors to provide a valid and informative explanation for reverting. I started a discussion and gave more explanations in [[Talk:2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran#Fair_reasons_are_needed_for_reverting|the article's TP]].[[User:Saff V.|Saff V.]] ([[User talk:Saff V.#top|talk]]) 08:02, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

:<span style="font-family:Papyrus">[[User:Vanamonde93|Vanamonde]]</span>, I'm recommending that this ongoing block be temporarily extended to protect references to the People's Mujahedin of Iran in other articles (such as, currently, at [[2020 coronavirus outbreak in Iran]] (where Saff V is again edit-warring [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran&type=revision&diff=944674130&oldid=944659985] to remove sourced material after being advised not to last month by [[User:Ms96|<span style="color:Navy; font-size:100%; font-family:Segoe Script;">'''MS'''</span></font>]], see above), and perhaps even more broadly, per your discretion, against the removal of any sourced section in any Iran-related article.--[[Special:Contributions/2601:444:380:8C00:359D:C736:4319:AD76|2601:444:380:8C00:359D:C736:4319:AD76]] ([[User talk:2601:444:380:8C00:359D:C736:4319:AD76|talk]]) 10:44, 9 March 2020 (UTC) <just.another.IP.user>

:: Something goes wrong here.A know how IP failed to add materials from the website of NCR (MEK). I am blocked from editing the MEK page.[[User:Saff V.|Saff V.]] ([[User talk:Saff V.#top|talk]]) 16:29, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

:::Saff V., the comment by the IP is disingenuous and I'm going to ignore it, but edits like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran&type=revision&diff=944553898&oldid=944553197 this one] concern me somewhat; the source you removed was not an opinion piece (ie, it was reliable) and therefore it probably deserved a talk page discussion. The edit before that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=944553197] is also concerning; the material you removed was similar to that of a different paragraph, but it was presented very differently, and you also removed a source. I'm going to let another admin deal with your unblock request, but you really need to tread more carefully, because as far as I am concerned you're getting closer to a TBAN from Iranian topics. For the avoidance of doubt, "tread more carefully" means discussing contentious material, not edit-warring when discussion is ongoing, and explaining every edit clearly and completely. <span style="font-family:Papyrus">[[User:Vanamonde93|Vanamonde]] ([[User Talk:Vanamonde93|Talk]])</span> 17:03, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

For instance, see my contributions to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_Iran this] page. I opened some talk page discussions and tried to resolve the disputes.[[User:Saff V.|Saff V.]] ([[User talk:Saff V.#top|talk]]) 12:33, 6 March 2020 (UTC) | decline = Look, your partial block is not going to be lifted until you are able to demonstrate (with deeds not words) that you are able to edit in the IPOL topic area, for a sustained amount of time, without similar problems occuring otherwise. So please stop asking. It's an exercise in futility at this point to do so. Thanks and good luck. [[User:El_C|El_C]] 17:11, 9 March 2020 (UTC)}}
