<p><b>New pages patrol</b> (NPP) is a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Patrols" title="Wikipedia:Patrols">group of Wikipedians</a> that check whether new articles, redirects and other pages conform to Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Core_content_policies" title="Wikipedia:Core content policies">core content policies</a>. The purpose of new pages patrol is equally to identify pages which cannot meet this standard, and so should be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Deletion">deleted</a>, and to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Editing_policy#Try_to_fix_problems" title="Wikipedia:Editing policy">support the improvement</a> of those that can. Pages that pass new pages patrol don't have to be perfect, just not entirely unsuitable for inclusion. </p><p>All new articles and redirects are patrolled, unless the user that created them had the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Autopatrolled" title="Wikipedia:Autopatrolled">autopatrolled</a> permission. NPP's first priority is to identify pages with serious content problems—including <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ATTACK" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ATTACK">attack pages</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COPYVIO" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COPYVIO">copyright violations</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism" title="Wikipedia:Vandalism">vandalism</a>—and mark them for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion" title="Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion">speedy deletion</a>. Beyond that, patrollers consider whether articles are suitable for inclusion in their current state according to the relevant policies and guidelines. Articles considered unsuitable are nominated for deletion or, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY">in certain circumstances</a>, moved to the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Drafts" title="Wikipedia:Drafts">draft namespace</a> for improvement. Articles considered suitable for inclusion are marked as 'reviewed', with a <a href="/wiki/Help:Notifications" title="Help:Notifications">notification</a> sent to the user that created it. Additionally, reviewers may flag issues with reviewed pages with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_index/Cleanup" title="Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup">maintenance tags</a>, perform basic copyediting, and/or sort the article into relevant categories and WikiProjects. New pages are not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Controlling_search_engine_indexing" title="Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing">indexed by external search engines</a> until they are patrolled. </p><p>New page patrol is carried out by users with the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:New_page_reviewer" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:New page reviewer">new page reviewer</a> permission and by <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators" title="Wikipedia:Administrators">administrators</a>. New page reviewers are expected to have a good knowledge of Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies" title="Wikipedia:List of policies">content policies</a> and prior experience with its <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Processes" title="Wikipedia:Processes">processes for handling articles</a>. They primarily use the <a href="/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed" title="Special:NewPagesFeed">new pages feed</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Page_Curation" title="Wikipedia:Page Curation">page curation</a> tool for patrolling. There are currently <a href="/wiki/Special:ListUsers/patroller" title="Special:ListUsers/patroller">806</a> users with the new page reviewer permission and a total of 1,657 new page patrollers (including administrators). Aside from the technical ability to mark pages as reviewed, new page patrollers do not have any special decision-making powers over new articles. They are expected to work carefully and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AGF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AGF">assume good faith</a>, paying particular attention to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers" title="Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers">treating newcomers with kindness and patience</a>. Disputes over new page patrolling should be resolved using the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution" title="Wikipedia:Dispute resolution">usual processes</a>. </p><p>The remainder of this page consists of guidelines and resources for new page patrollers. As such, it assumes a good existing knowledge of relevant policies, guidelines and processes. The navigation tabs above contain links to further resources.

It logs new pages immediately after the first version is saved. While it is a good idea to reduce the backlog of unreviewed pages by working from the back of the list, it is nevertheless important that serious breaches of policy such as spam and attack pages be deleted very quickly. A comprehensive preferences panel lets you select what kind of new pages you want to review. The system remembers your preferences each time you open the feed. A list daily created by a bot at <b><a href="/wiki/User:SDZeroBot/NPP_sorting" title="User:SDZeroBot/NPP sorting">sorted list</a></b> classifies all unreviewed articles by topic, along with a short excerpt of the article. Use this list if you prefer to work on articles in your own sphere of knowledge.

Although new articles appear in the new pages feed immediately, take care not to alienate article creators (especially new editors) by patrolling them while they are still in progress.

Inform the creator of any problems using maintenance tags, the article talk page, or the message feature of the curation tool and give them time to address them (perhaps several days) before taking further action. If improvements are not forthcoming, it <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY">may be appropriate</a> to move the article to draftspace, to give the creator more space to work on it. However, it is important to remember that 'draftifying' is not a substitute to the deletion process, nor a catch-all solution for articles you don't know what to do with. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Basic_steps" data-mw-thread-id="h-Basic_steps-Reviewing_articles"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Basic_steps-Reviewing_articles"></span>Basic steps<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Basic_steps-Reviewing_articles"></span></h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NPP_flowchart.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/NPP_flowchart.svg/330px-NPP_flowchart.svg.png" decoding="async" width="330" height="977" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/NPP_flowchart.svg/495px-NPP_flowchart.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/NPP_flowchart.svg/660px-NPP_flowchart.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1086" data-file-height="3215"/></a><figcaption>Detailed flowchart for reviewing articles</figcaption></figure> <p>Briefly, to review an article: </p> <ol><li>Check if the page curation tool has flagged any potential issues</li> <li>Check the page history for potential issues</li> <li>Skim the article for content problems</li> <li>Review (or at least spot check) the listed sources, where accessible</li> <li>Decide whether to mark the article as reviewed, nominate it for deletion, or do something else</li></ol> <p>The rest of this section summarises the range of issues that you might encounter in reviewing an article, in rough order of priority, and how to respond to them.

the speedy deletion criteria, notability is the main test for determining whether or not it can exist. <a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_notability_guidelines" title="Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines">Wikipedia's notability guidelines</a> are complex, frequently subjective, and change often. New page patrollers should be familiar with the core <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:N" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:N">notability guideline</a> (especially the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GNG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GNG">general notability guideline</a>, GNGs) and at least some of the more important <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SNG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SNG">subject-specific notability guidelines</a> (SNGs). However, few if any editors can claim to have a comprehensive knowledge of every notability guideline, so it is important to tread carefully and be aware of what you don't know. </p><p>Opinions are divided on how important it is to consider notability during new page patrol.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On the one hand, NPP's core purpose is to screen articles that are not suitable for inclusion, and notability is the key test of this in all but the most clear-cut examples of unwanted content. Many patrollers consider notability their "bread and butter" on this basis. On the other hand, assessing notability can be very time-consuming, requiring a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BEFORE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BEFORE">proactive search for and evaluation of sourcing</a>, subject-specific knowledge, and ultimately is only decided one way or another via a consensus at AfD. Some have therefore argued that focusing too much on notability causes significant backlogs and that patrollers' time would be better spent on more readily apparent types of unsuitable content.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At a minimum, as a new page patroller, you should be able to identify topics that patently lack notability and nominate them for deletion. You may also opt to investigate the notability of topics in more depth, but bear in mind that a full <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BEFORE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BEFORE">WP:BEFORE</a>-style search is only really necessary for AfD nominations. Assessment of articles in topic areas with highly detailed SNGs is best left to reviewers familiar with those areas and guidelines.

In the best case scenario, they will simply listen to your feedback and address the issue promptly. However, disputes are common. Whether it is about a cleanup tag, a deletion nomination, a move to draft, or something else, try to approach these disputes with humility and empathy. Avoid the temptation to 'pull rank' over a user who probably <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BITE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BITE">knows a lot less about our processes than you do</a>. Even if you are completely correct in your judgement of an article, it is not surprising that the creator could react badly if you tell them that there is something wrong with their contribution, or threaten to remove it. New editors might be unfamiliar with our practice of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold" title="Wikipedia:Be bold">not asking permission to fix problems</a> – and its obverse, not being offended when someone points out a problem with your work. Experienced editors might be reluctant to acknowledge that they aren't immune to making mistakes. All reviewing disputes are more likely to be resolved amicably if you try to understand the other party's point of view before putting forth your own. </p><p>It is especially important to remember that the <small><code>new page reviewer</code></small> right gives you the <i>technical</i> ability to mark pages "reviewed"; it does not give you any special decision-making powers over new articles. Like all advanced rights holders, from page movers to bureaucrats, the way you use your tools is subject to the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus" title="Wikipedia:Consensus">consensus</a> of other editors. For example, if you move a page to draftspace and the creator of the article objects to this, there is <i>no consensus</i> on where the page should be. The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BRD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BRD">recommended course of action</a> here is to return the page to the state it was in before the dispute began (i.e., in mainspace), and then attempt to solve it through discussion, for example, by opening an <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AFD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AFD">AfD</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> You should not simply insist that the page remains in your preferred namespace because you are a new page patroller and the other editor is not. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Unreviewing" data-mw-thread-id="h-Unreviewing"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Unreviewing"></span>Unreviewing<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Unreviewing"></span></h2></div> <p>Page Curation also includes a feature to 'unreview' a new article.
