Names of Victims for Executed Inmates edit
I noticed you put in "4 murder victims" for the inmates who have said number of victims in California and Mississippi. However in states like Florida, it seems you only did that for cases with 5 or more victims. For consistency, I reinstated the victims names for the former states cases and will work on the other states whose cases have 5+ victims that you missed such as Oklahoma and Virginia. I should mention that these are only for executions post 1976. YatesTucker00090 (talk) 08:41, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- @YatesTucker00090: I see what you're saying, however, it reads better in table format if all the information can be fitted within a single line. I will slowly go through the lists and if it's 4 victims or more I think it should belong in the note section. Inexpiable (talk) 20:31, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Wesley Ira Purkey.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading File:Wesley Ira Purkey.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:44, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023 edit
Hello Inexpiable,
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).

Murder of Patricia Jeschke edit
Thank you very much for your review and barnstar. It is the first time I ever made an article relating to a murder or criminal investigation. I felt compelled to do so after seeing how big of a miscarriage of justice this was. Jon698 (talk) 18:37, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Ryan Scott Blinston and Edward Dean Kennedy edit
Why did you revert my pending edits to list of serial killers in the United States involving Ryan Scott Blinston and Edward Dean Kennedy when Blinston does not meet the definition of a serial killer and Kennedy does? Startrain844 (talk) 17:50, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Startrain844: Kennedy does not meet the definition. Blinston maybe does I'll give you that, but you'll have to take that to the talk page as it's already been reverted a few times. Inexpiable (talk) 19:50, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- Kennedy definitely does not fit the definition: both Cone, and Cone's cousin, Robert C. McDermon, were killed at the same time in the same location. If they had been killed separately then maybe it would classify but as it stands it does not. Inexpiable (talk) 19:53, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- In list of serial killers in the United States, User:ExRat said “Am again removing Kelvin Malone from the list. As define by the The United States Bureau of Justice Statistics, a spree killer is define by "killings at two or more locations with almost no time break between murders". Defined by the FBI as "a person (or more than one person) who commits two or more murders without a cooling-off period; the lack of a cooling-off period marks the difference between a spree killer and a serial killer." Malone's killing spree occurred in only 6 days, during the commission of a crime spree with two accomplices that lasted only two weeks. Most of the references on the subject's page refer to the events as a "rampage" or a "spree". Malone is a clear example of a spree killer, not a serial killer, as defined by the FBI, the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics, and numerous authors cited in the spree killer article.” ExRat Startrain844 (talk) 22:00, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- Kennedy definitely does not fit the definition: both Cone, and Cone's cousin, Robert C. McDermon, were killed at the same time in the same location. If they had been killed separately then maybe it would classify but as it stands it does not. Inexpiable (talk) 19:53, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
--Startrain844 (talk) 02:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC) If Keven Malone does not meet the criteria then Blinston doesn’t either however Kennedy does as he had a cooling off period between at least two of the murders that lasted well over a month.--Startrain844 (talk) 16:01, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter edit
Hello Inexpiable,
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.

Reversal of edit on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Leonard_Cure edit
I don't understand how my edit was disruptive or non-constructive. It appears that you're deliberately reversing any edits that paint Cure's behavior in a negative light. Could you go into further detail? 2603:9000:7300:1737:585F:E31:FA5D:2B (talk) 14:55, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- @2603:9000:7300:1737:585F:E31:FA5D:2B: Because it is an unsourced claim, presumptuous, and unnecessary. "a move that could have potentially led to serious or even fatal harm to the deputy". Yeah obviously... but it could also not have led to serious harm. Presumptions don't belong on Wikipedia. We just report what news sources say. Inexpiable (talk) 15:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
I am not painting Cure's behavior in a positive light, that's what happened, it clearly states in the article that Cure grabbed the deputy's throat during the struggle and that he was tased for not complying. It is very neutral. Inexpiable (talk) 15:50, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
November Articles for creation backlog drive edit
Hello Inexpiable:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

Pete Shrum and Alabama song edit
The Alabama song “Once Upon a Lifetime” has no direct ties to the Pete Shrum murder — that’s why it was deleted from the article the first time. The fact that the song was playing in the background when the murder happened is only a coincidence. Zredman (talk) 16:15, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024 edit
Hello Inexpiable,
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.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
