Well no need for that — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lolaloud125 (talk • contribs) 20:12, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lolaloud125: Hi there. I just thought it was best to keep the wording concise, especially since we're dealing with the lead paragraph of the article. No ill intent obviously and I greatly appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia so far! Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 07:58, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't add player categories until they appear in a regular season game with that team.-- Yankees10 03:09, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Yankees10: Whoops! My bad. Thanks for letting me know. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 04:08, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Is this someone that used to go by Rahfu? If not, terribly sorry for bothering you, but if so, I've heard you know something about an old Neopets user called eon337. I'd like to hear what you know about them, and I'd like to share what I've found with you. Can we talk? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theredglowbox (talk • contribs) 07:06, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theredglowbox: I think you got the wrong person. I've never played Neopets before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Good luck with your search though! Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 08:03, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, in retrospect, don't think you'd recognize that even if you were them. I'm talking about eon337/"Jenny", creator of the longest text ever. Just double-checking, are you sure you aren't the person named Rahfu in the comment section of this YouTube video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57N0u4b5M_Y RedG (talk) 08:12, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theredglowbox: Negative. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 08:15, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Well, sorry for bothering you. I was following an old, deleted draft of a Wikipedia page on Jesse Ridgway. I know that person worked on that page late 2016-early 2017, and you were the only person I could see interacting with the page in that timespan. Maybe I just didn't read the logs correctly. Thanks for the response. Seeya. RedG (talk) 08:20, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, Troutfarm27. Why? --PFHLai (talk) 23:39, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's reverted now. I assume it was a mis-click. Let me know if you find any issues with my comments. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 23:41, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PFHLai: Sorry about that. I work a little too fast sometimes and happened to misclick in that case. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 23:50, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. It happens. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 23:52, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have you checked his IMDB??? 2600:387:8:F:0:0:0:7F (talk) 02:20, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 02:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

so wiki’s a reliable source now??? Huh??? 2600:387:8:F:0:0:0:7F (talk) 02:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. Any website that allows content to be edited by anyone (like IMDb and Wikipedia) are not considered reliable sources. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 02:30, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

		The New Page Reviewer's Iron Award

Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2020. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are just getting caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply (with a ping) to let us know not to send you any more. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:19, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take em. Thank you so much! Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 03:21, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Troutfarm27,

Please look at an article's page history for tagging it for deletion. The only reason this page was an "empty article" is because another editor blanked the page which is not an appropriate reaction for when you disagree with a redirect. The page should be nominated at WP:RFD, not blanked. So, I reverted the edit and didn't delete the page. I just wanted to let you know why. Some times, you need to look into an articles history and not just take it at face value of its current appearance. Thank you! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:31, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that! Slowly getting back into NPP after a short break so I'm shaking off the cobwebs. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 08:49, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

		The Invisible Barnstar
		This award is given to Troutfarm27 for collecting more than 5 points doing reviews and re-reviews, in the October NPP backlog reduction drive. Thank you for your contributions. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 08:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

		The New Page Patroller's Barnstar

As discussed many other times. Acuña is definitely deserving of the title world champion. The point of him not being on the post season roster is insane. In the same breath we have jake odorizzi listed as a champion for the Astro's when he never appeared in a post season game with them but did with the Braves.

It’s crazy to me acuna being listed a champion was and is watched so carefully and closely but jake odorizzi page isn’t and has be like that for some time. Stop the bull crap and just add it to acuna’s wiki obviously this is biased and flawed. If the player gets a ring that has the words champion on it from the team how can wiki writer say otherwise? 76.238.229.186 (talk) 03:55, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well thanks for bringing up Jake Odorizzi's article up, I went ahead and fixed that. We're not disputing the fact that they get/deserve a physical ring, but that's just how things go here on Wiki. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 07:12, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity, why did you upload a larger version of File:Super Bowl LVII.svg? SVG are scalable by themselves (hence the name Scalable Vector Graphics), so I don't understand the idea of increasing the size. Elisfkc (talk) 16:04, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Elisfkc I know the SVGs can be scaled once they're on an article but I thought it looked too small when you click on the actual file page and look at the preview. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 01:58, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry mate would you mind undoing your revert of my change to babytron wiki? As it has been confirmed that is his conformation name during his arrest. Bartholomew Dinglenut VII (talk) 22:10, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bartholomew Dinglenut VII I'd be happy to do that if you can provide a source. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 22:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Van Duren state prison have confirmed the full legal name of "James Edward Bartholomew Johnson III" in his arrest details.

I would like to update Wikipedia users on his situation and sincerely hope you will consider overturning your decision, thank you. Bartholomew Dinglenut VII (talk) 22:22, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bartholomew Dinglenut VII Any link online? Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 23:18, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Help me on improving my page Rab Sports than having it deleted.

What do I need to do, please? 197.239.12.18 (talk) 17:24, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The primary issue with the article is if it meets Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. In other words, per the notice above the page, you need to show that it is notable by providing "reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic and provide significant coverage of it beyond a mere trivial mention." If you are unable to do that, then unfortunately the topic may not be notable enough to qualify for its own Wikipedia article at this time. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 17:46, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{Help me}} Mniak2 (talk) 01:24, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mniak2: I'm turning off your help request for now. Either you intended to ask for help from Troutfarm27 or you misunderstood what the template is for. When you ask for help, please make a statement about what you want help with. Empty help requests do not move things along. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:41, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm kinda new to this and just wanted to ask about whether you thought sportskeeda was a reliable source? I'm not sure if this is the right place to do this either so sorry if it isn't. Thanks Fulankf (talk) 20:27, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. You can check out what other people have said about Sportskeeda here. Personally, it's a bit of a mixed bag because some of the articles on there are written by their own writers and are well researched and fact-checked, but other articles on there are either covering unencyclopedic topics or written by outsiders without as much vetting. Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 02:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. I found the perennial sources page here and its been really useful. Thanks for your respsonse. I don't think my article was a good source, probably cyclical. Fulankf (talk) 09:53, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Troutfarm27,

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 Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See 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 here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work 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 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 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 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).

Hello Troutfarm27,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Thanks for correcting the "was" on Ippei's page + providing the reason why. Grammatically, that makes a lot of sense. You did the right thing, but trouting you seemed amusing -- thanks again :) I still have plenty to learn Col99100 (talk) 22:14, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Troutfarm27,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
