Knowledge talk:The future of NPP and AfC/Archive 6

1582:

which have ended-up in the NPP queue where it's not unusual to discover they were created by editors who should have known better. Another concern about not having specific criteria for AfC reviewers to follow is that, while we do our best to AGF, we may be leaving the door open for COI editors to game the system; i.e., get paid for creating stubs that NPP reviewers have to invest time in to make encyclopedic. I can understand passing articles with a few flaws if they have historic, academic or geographic importance - those are shoe-ins - but even then, if the article creator is educated enough to submit such an article, they can cite the sources, fix copyvios and the like (and/or be sent for tutoring). I don't mind mentoring editors who want to contribute and help build the project but I don't have the time to expand/fix/create encyclopedic articles from assembly-line stubs coming out of AfC. I also don't see how 500+ editors will be able to sustain it. Burn-out will happen far quicker, too.

909:: NPP is not 'hard to get'. Like RfA and any other user right, it ts presumed that any one applying for it would already bring sufficient knowledge and experience with them. The numerical thresholds we set (RfA doesn't have one) are really only to prevent the absolute least serious of applications and time wasters - and we have found that it works. At PERM, admins do not automatically accord rights to every candidate who has reached the level demanded by the numerical barrier. This is what the hat collectors don't realise. It goes without saying that there are a lot of hat collectors in the special rights groups. That's why even with ACTRIAL the backlog is on the rise again. The half dozen regular reviewers have taken a well earned respite, and the 444 others aren't, and weren't, doing very much beyond putting an 'I am a New Pge Reviewer' badge on their user page. Or, as it turns out occasionally, using their NPR status to patrol their own 'paid for' articles. 2006:. Well, I apologise for jumping the gun with it, I have a lot to learn with regards to putting together RfC proposals. It generally went well though, despite the discussion fragmenting somewhat, with a lot more support than opposition. In any case I have learned that it should be renamed to something like "Automatic notability discussion following 3 declined AfC reviews". Worded as it was as the "three strike rule" resulted in many people opposing without realizing that this proposal was meant to help good faith draft writers that were hard done by reviewers as much as it was intended to address tendentious repeat submitters. "Three strike rule" gives the impression that the proposal was simply meant to punish AfC resubmitters, but the rule would also have a positive impact on dealing with repeated declines on spurious reasoning. What should the next step be for discussing/re-proposing/implementing something like this? — 300:- I simply don't see the benefits of this. Since being an AfC reviewer does require an admin to put you on a page (at least if you want to be productive in any way). Because of this, I don't think that we need this extra step. Plus, it would likely make some non-NPR AfC reviewers leave AfC, because they don't want to go through the process of getting NPR. Thus, I don't think that it would be beneficial. That said, I would probably be supportive of having NPR members auto-added to AfC (with a message on their talk page telling them that they can get involved, should probably get the helper script, and that AfC standards are higher than NPP standards). This is because it would not push away people from doing NPP or AfC, but would encourage people who were already vetted to get involved in the latter. 1434:. We aren't improving notable topic drafts by putting them in purgatory, we are essentially deleting them all. The proportion of drafts that are on notable topics is currently unknown, but I have a research project aimed at answering this question by reviewing and doing a notability check on a random sample of AfC submissions. If the proportion of notable topic drafts is much larger than 1.2%, then this indicates that we need to change the way that AfC works, if that proportion is very small (close to 1.2%) then no changes are needed to AfC, but we might want to question the purpose of bothering to keep AfC around at all if only 1.2% of drafts make it to main space. — 1100:

sources, and then adding them changes the outcome). However, if you change your mind after the source search, don't change the table. The table is meant to represent the likely outcome if following the instructions to the letter with no extra effort expended (i.e. no source search for AfC), no refs added, etc. Not necessarily what you actually do with the draft in the end (for all the stats care, after doing the 'hypothetical' reviews and searches, you could just leave the draft unchanged if you don't want to review it -- though that seems like a wasted effort).

1524:

the work both projects do, but I think moving toward merging is not likely at this time. What I do think would be good, however, is establishing a more clear criteria for what AfC should look for, and encourage them to promote more articles on subjects that are more likely to be notable (for example, any dead biography that has some sourcing beyond a local obit has a decent shot at AfD), and be more prone to decline for reasons other than notability (promotion, for example, is an automatic decline criteria that some reviewers will ignore.)

226:'s concern is that this really wouldn't have any impact on workflow or anything else in terms of merging the projects structure and wouldn't lump anything together: it'd just be adapting the Huggle model and hopefully also allow us to cut out some work both on the admin side and on the reviewer side. We typically do have a somewhat higher standard for granting the NPR permission because of the Google indexing concerns, so if anything this would hopefully help cut down on the work that you and DGG do cleaning up after reviewers. 670:'s (very valid) observations that most AfC reviewers are too reluctant to publish an article to main space and at the same time are too reluctant to simply say "this draft has no place in the encyclopedia, and never will", so they feed the AfC backlog by denying and allowing for resubmission countless times for a draft that will never be published. Having a common standard here would likely address both of those issues by making the qualifications (and thus knowledge of policy) the same, and I honestly see no negatives. 321:, the point is that there would be no extra step: the checklist would stop existing. That is the huge benefit here, and it would allow us to bypass NPP for AfC approved drafts. This would hugely simplify the process. If we were to go with this, we could also do a grandfathering like we did last year with the NPR right. Sorry, I'm not trying to bludgeon people, I'm just trying to clear up discrepancies in understandings of what is being proposed :) . 31: 193:

where I think I would thrive.I do think having it simply as a check like we do for rollback and Huggle is beneficial, though. It'd also make it easier to check if someone moving something out of draft space that was AfC was an AfC reviewer, because user rights are, in my opinion, much easier to check than a checklist. It'd also allow us to get rid of the double workload currently existing with AfC and NPP, which I think is good.

2240:, there are multiple systematic problems, and this proposed solution is part wallpapering and part punishing the author for his under-training. Before proceeding, I’d like to see all new registrants auto welcomed. Newcomers need the useful links that template includes. Ideally, IPs will be told to register to create even a draft, but until then, IPs should be auto-welcomed on their first edit. 1954:. That's one of the reasons why we have this project here. A good RfC has a proposal statement and supporting details carefully worked out by people who have good communication skills and are practiced creative writers. Examples of when this is not so are when RfCs tail off with out interest because they become forks of all sorts of alternative ideas. So yes, this is the place to 928:(an admin said that if only one sentence is not promotional it fails G11) so I'm taking them straight to AfD - another time sink. I do believe that after an NPR passes an AfCH, that same NPR should be able to mark that article reviewed the moment it's moved into mainspace, which I think is what the iVoting is about above regarding our curation tools and combining that part of the work. 1232:

varied. If AfC reviewer candidates were subject to the same scrutiny as applications for the NPR right, there might be an argument now for merging the two operations or at least elevating AfC from WikiProject to an official process with its own user right. In any case, joint acollabortion is now called for.

signs of inappropriate articles. Compare with the right any confirmed users still have to watch the new page list and even mark the pages for deletion with no experience whatsoever. Odd as it sounds, this is what the community wanted, and of course, it creates double work for the accredited NPRers and admins.

1328:, I think we would have to be clear that the userspace would still be exempt, and perhaps only have it apply in the case of repeated submission to AfC (three declines). Even then, we might not be able to get a consensus for this, as many users seem to think that the draftspace should be used as a holding pen for stuff that 1497:

Part of the problem must be the emphasis on secrecy and anonymity which seems to make editors too paranoid and suspicious. We need more openness and role models like

I think that we are close to proposing serious changes to the way that AfC aproaches declining with regards to notability. I think that the three strike rule might not be needed after that, or if it is needed, it will make a lot more sense. I suggest we approach other AfC reforms first, and come back

Now, many of these that were avoided were amongst the easiest to review, as most of these new editor submissions were clear delete candidates (80% used to be deleted). However, this significant reduction in overall workload cannot be underestimated as the major contributing factor in the reduction of

Seriously, we can't keep up this fiction that AfC can continue to act like it is a gatekeeper of quality for drafts that will eventually improve. The recent report by the WMF found that the proportion of drafts that

By preventing through ACTRIAL the possibility for first-time users to create articles directly in mainspace, we have successfully reduced the workload at the New Pages Feed by about 80%. But that does not mean we can retire. For some unexplained reason the backlog has not reduced one iota, unreviewed

955:

The arguement that NPR requires CSD/AfD knowledge that is not required for AfC work is problematic. The core criteria at AfC is "will this page survive Deletion via CSD/AfD". If an editor does not know enough about deletion process to assess suitability they can't be much help to a new editor at AfC.

927:

Kudz - you already know my patterns, and it may be that I spread my time too thin doing both AfC & NPP trying to find sources, and taking the time to evaluate potential, copy edit/expand when dealing with unsourced or poorly sourced stubs. I've since learned that G11 is a hit and miss proposition

752:

It is sort of limiting AfC in that half the current reviewers - of course probably more like 10% of the actual reviews - don't have it, and that could lead to loss of reviewers. I wouldn't be totally opposed to it though. I really have no idea how strict the NPP approval is vs AFC etc so I can't make

However, AfC is completely different to NPR, the process and workflows are completely different, and we should avoid lumping things together or comparing this to huggle.

It isn't acceptable to "keep probably notable drafts in purgatory until they reach some minimum standard" if they are notable topics, as this results in a lack of

I have no desire to change AfC from a help desk: I certainly don't want to be dealing with that, and I think people who want to should have a space devoted to it.What I'm saying is this: a full protected checklist to use something is the exact same thing in practice as a user right. There is no real

833:

I think AfC remaining a helpdesk does kinda make sense. I mean people with COI have to use it, and AfC helps make it not promotional, and currently "eh" articles get sent to AfC to help them pass NPR. Like I said above, the savings for having AfC articles automatically approved is almost negligible,

665:

This would not reduce the number of people able to review: it would automatically increase it as there are more people with the NPR flag than are active AfC reviewers. Also, I find the objection "the standard to get NPR is too high" to be a very weak one. Yes, the processes are different but the end

I do have twinkle, and do occasionally tag things to be CSDed - just obvious ones like author request deletion or in wrong namespace. I haven't really read up on the others and don't have any real desire to learn it (right now atleast, it doesn't really come up that much). And others in AfC may know

whether a semi-automated option to "list for discussion at MfD" could be added to the AFCH script (i.e. a button for 'list at MfD' that pops up the twinkle XfD script with a pre-loaded message, as well as a pop-up telling reviewers that they should list it for MfD notability discussion if declining

1523:

I would love to require the NPR flag as a requirement for AfC, but I do not think that will ever happen as there are simply too many cultural differences between the two projects at this point, and any time it has been proposed there has been a pretty strong backlash from AfC regulars. I appreciate

1382:

I've reviewed thousands of pages up for G13. A very small percentage that get there are on notable topics, and most of those are already covered in mainspace (a copy of mainspace, or already copy pasted to mainspace). Maybe a BEFORE search is not required of AfC reviewers but in most cases the page

This means that many notable topics are declined due to not having sources in the article, regardless of whether sources exist or not. Two things that I would like to see before merging NPP and

1231:

Now that it appears that ACTRIAL has been a resounding success, with the concerns expressed by some about the slight increase in submissions to AfC, it may be time to consider consolidating the two systems. They are as similar as they are different but the skillsets may not be so

1195:

This is not correct - it ignores timing. In Mainspace a delete worthy page will most likely get caught in NPP amd deleted within 90 days (even with the backlogs). In Draft page will not typically face deletion until at least 180 days as a G13 or much longer if it goes into the AfC review, waits for

There is often a difference between what I do and what the typical AfC reviewer will do. I'm ok with letting mainspace users fix up pages on notable non-CSDable pages instead of forcing the newbie editor to get everything perfect. I believe one of the best ways to get more notable topics and reduce

I can see the benefit, and if there wasn't really (if it was shown) much reduction in actuality with the number of reviewers I'd be fine with it.

97:

Since this has been mentioned multiple times elsewhere, what do we think about taking a Huggle-esque approach and requiring the NPR right to access the AFCHS: still keeping the individual projects and their respective cultures and focuses separate for now, but a step towards combining labour forces

1698:

hmmm. all valid points. but i still think if we get more reviewers, we might be able to review all the articles before indexing deadline. What happens next in the trial? I mean, is it like two sample sets? X months with ACTRIAL, X months without, X months with, and again X months without; and then

1203:

It's not that the Drafts do "not warrent deletion" it is that they are not old enough to delete G13, no one is even looking at the non-AfC submitted Drafts yet, and even if we wanted to review those pages Gx CSD criteria is way narrower than Ax CSD criteria is. There is no PROD for Drafts. Further

Forcing approved AfC drafts through NPR is not as silly as it sounds. We need checks and balances, and while for the most part AfC reviewers do a good job, their actual knowledge of policy is not required to be as thorough, and they do not need to be so quick to recognise obvious

367:

Agreed there seems to be confusion. If someone is trusted enough to be approved for AfC what possible barrier is there to letting them be an NPR? If our AfC approver standard is too low for NPR, raise the standard! I don’t care if they actually want to do NPR, but with an appropriate transition we

AfC and NPP. As I said at Kudpung's talk (which I think was copied above), I really don't want a merger of AfC and NPR in terms of project space pages and workflow: I don't enjoy reviewing AfC submissions and there are some quirks with the project's internal culture that suite it but aren't really

to revisit this idea later. I've thought pretty hard on this with regards to the new revelations abut AfC that have come about due to the WMF's research as well as our own, and I think that the 3 strike rule is only trying to address a symptom of a larger issue of how AfC approaches notability. —

1630:, as well as slightly higher numbers of reviewers. However, note that without the reduction in incoming articles afforded by ACTRIAL, none of this may have been possible. By that I mean that the total number of articles that would have been created by new editors, which were blocked by ACTRIAL is 1562:

for making me aware of this discussion and also for your kind words. Off topic, I will say, that from my experience in being open on the internet as myself is that I get less harassment than other women I know who are anonymous. I think being open says to people "I'm not afraid." It also makes me

404:

I feel like the main barrier might be knowledge of CSD. You don't really need to CSD all that well to do AfC while for NPP you absolutely need to know it well. So some people who don't know CSD (perhaps like me, I know CSD generally but not that in depth, haven't studied too much) might be barred

278:

I am not a member of AFC and I am not sure AFC is my cup of tea. Maybe someday it will be. At the same time, I appreciate very much the work the AFC reviewers do. And being able to send some new and old articles to draft space is a helpful option. OK really, being able to send to draft space is a

I also see it as giving the new editors a fair chance to get the article passed. It would also help solve a problem reviewers face - no one wants to approve a page 3 or 4 other reviewers declined - going against their opinions. With an MfD keep we can confidently move a page to mainspace without

Now that we have no unreviewed pages indexed, and with experienced NPP/R-ers; I am not sure if we need "only auto-confirmed users can create articles" requirement. I mean, we already have revoked that right from anons. If a user creates an account, then they have to wait to get 4/10 thingy. At a

I agree that specific criteria should be followed. I'm also of the mind that the burden of making an article acceptable for mainspace should not rest with NPP, especially if it's one that should never have been approved by AfC. We have plenty of articles in mainspace now that need work...some of

Right now we have one new pages system (NPR), and AFC, which is in effect just a helpdesk, its not 'approving' anything (from a NPR viewpoint), it is just helping people move pages into mainspace with a reasonable chance of passing NPR. The idea as I see it is to allow AFC reviewers to pass an

I think about ~15 drafts out of 250 at most get accepted a day from AfC. NPP reviews something like 500? drafts a day..so the benefit is very little. But AfC is doing pretty bad with the backlog so any reduction in the number of reviews would be pretty bad like kvng said. The skillsets overlap

622:

what is the reason that we want to keep a separate checklist for use of AFCH? I haven't seen anyone actually explain why that is preferable, and I am honestly curious. It seems to have no benefit to the project, and is preventing things that everyone wants like not having AfC drafts have to go

207:

Oh, I certainly agree that shifting something into the Article space (via AFCH) should mark it as patrolled, because that seems like double-duty, but my general assumption is that "anyone not using AFCH to move drafts" needs to be double-checked. But as I said, I'm largely neutral on the issue

WMF staff talks about increased deletions and says "This increase in deletions is not commensurate with the increase in draft creations, meaning that we see a lot of created drafts that appear to not warrant deletion."

we have randomly reviewed 72 AfC pending pages so far and 6 of those had already had 3 or more reviews. A small sample but if that 8.3% holds across the 2400 draft backlog around 200 pending pages would qualify for a

What would a merged NPP+AFC look like, practically speaking? I suppose the Page Curation tools can be used to review pages in the draft namespace, but how would we handle requests for drafts to be moved to mainspace?

No one is criticising the dedicated all-round editors. There is a tool that shows us who has asked for the NPR tools and barely used them, and viewed in conjunction with their edit history, it can be quite revealing.

The NPR flag, being a more important process than AfC, would automatically cover AfC. Indeed, when we set up NPR, we sent an newsletter to all AfC reviewers inviting them to apply.

I was wondering if any users that are both an experienced New Page Patroller as well as an experienced AfC reviewer could join me in a statistics gathering mission.

I also note the lack of even pseudo-human communication with draft authors. They are not treated like newcomers in mainspace. I think this cultural divide is bad.

1553:. The processes used for evaluating AfC articles is different from NPP. Also, I often find AfC articles about notable topics declined because the references aren't 1200:. In other words, the increased unencyclopedic content created in Draft instead of mainspace during ACTRIAL is mostly still sitting with no move yet to delete it. 188:
