==welcome to [[WP:HIST]]==
Hi there. I am the Lead Coordinator for [[WP:HIST|WikiProject History]]. I would like to thank you for joining the WikiProject. If you wish, could you please go back to the list of participants, and revise your listing there, by adding your signature? You can revise the date in your signature, to display the date that you actually joined. 

Also, if you wish, could you please tell me which historical eras, or other historical topics that you are interested in? we would like to empower individual members, by enabling them to identify specific areas of interest. 

if you wish to help out, you can do so any time, by interacting on the project's [[WP:T-HIST|main talk page]]; you can comment simply to let us know what you've been up to, or you can join one of the existing discussion posts there. And lastly, please feel free to add our userbox to your user page, if you haven't done so already. by adding this text: <nowiki>{{User WikiProject History}}</nowiki> 

thanks for joining! please feel free to write any time. please ping me if you reply, by typing this text: <nowiki> {{ping|sm8900}} </nowiki> thanks! --[[User:Sm8900|Sm8900]] ([[User talk:Sm8900|talk]]) 14:26, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

:Thanks for the welcome {{u|sm8900}}. Sorry about the missing sig - fixed it now. I'm not a historian by any stretch, but I've always been a bit of a history buff. From a Wikipedia perspective, I'd say my primary interest is in the Atlantic world broadly, the circum-Caribbean world more narrowly, and the history of Trinidad and Tobago in particular. Colonisation, imperialism, and post-colonial history intrigue me, as does the interplay between plant collecting and systematics, and exploration. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 14:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
::hi Guettarda. ok, that's terrific. no worries, re the signature; actually I just revised the page to request that data. as far as your topics of interest, that sounds great. you are welcome to join any task forces you may wish, to reflect your interests; or to set up any new ones, if you wish. it is great to have you there. looking forward to sharing ideas, as time goes on. thanks!  --[[User:Sm8900|Sm8900]] ([[User talk:Sm8900|talk]]) 14:38, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
:::say, I just checked your user page,. I had not realized before that you have been here for so long. or that you are an admin as well. you are welcome indeed!! please feel free to share any ideas that you have, at any time. 
:::by the way, since you are an admin, could you please go to [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Council#Members_and_participants|this section]] at the talk page for WikiProject Council, and add a note under my last note there, indicating that you have joined [[WP:HIST]]? you can also note your own length of service here, and your current active role as an admin. someone there had claimed  that the WikiProject is dead, so I would like to let them know that obviously, rumors of our demise "are greatly exaggerated," to quote Mark Twain. I appreciate it.  thanks!! --[[User:Sm8900|Sm8900]] ([[User talk:Sm8900|talk]]) 14:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

== Apologies ==

Just want to apologize because you were trying to get through to me in the debate on Carlton Mack and I wasn't listening. To be honest, trying to clean up Wikipedia and randomly patrol pages can be a little tricky because sometimes editors come out of the woodwork to debate how famous the topic is and it's a keep, etc. Anyways, if I make a mistake, I'm happy to correct it. In this case, I did make a mistake, and you were right, and I've withdrawn the nom. Thanks for taking the time and providing feedback. [[User:Megtetg34|Megtetg34]] ([[User talk:Megtetg34|talk]]) 01:57, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

:{{re|Megtetg34}} Thanks for the note. I appreciate it. Don't worry about it - people disagree over policy interpretations. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 14:47, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2021 May newsletter ==

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

*{{flagicon|BWA}} [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]], with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
*{{flagicon|Republic of Venice|wartime}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
*[[File:Bennington Flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]], with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
*[[File:Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg|22px|England]] [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]], with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
*{{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews. 
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
*[[File:Flag of the United Nations.svg|22px]] [[User:Ktin|Ktin]], with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items. 

Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].

==RfC on racial hereditarianism at the R&I talk-page==

An RfC at [[Talk:Race and intelligence]] revisits the question, considered last year at [[WP:FTN]], of whether or not the theory that a genetic link exists between race and intelligence is a fringe theory. This RfC supercedes the recent RfC on this topic at [[WP:RSN]] that was closed as improperly formulated.

A tag has been placed on [[:Category:1961 disestablishments in Trinidad and Tobago]] indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a [[:Category:Disambiguation categories|disambiguation category]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories|category redirect]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia featured topics categories|featured topics category]], under discussion at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for discussion]], or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under [[WP:CSD#C1|section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Category:1961 disestablishments in Trinidad and Tobago|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

'''Guettarda: Why are you censoring calls to violence, and history of violence, factual and true references in published, high-grade media sources, for your own biases? This is wrong. You will be addressed and given consequences for your false, biased censorship creating Lies by Omission.

== Hello ==

Is this how I contact you? you undid my part on the pseudoscience page I can edit the mistakes I made in writing but I also did cite sources the problem is I do not yet know how to do that right I find it confusing but I know it will be pretty simple once I know how do I link for example a number to a part in the references? the citation was there but it wasn't linked properly.

:{{re|Brecht Corbeel}} There's a help page at [[Help:Footnotes]] that explains the basics of referencing. The main problem though was that you added a comment to the text. Wikipedia articles are suppose to summarise what reliable sources say, not add commentary from Wikipedians like me or you.

:*Wikimedia previously used the [[m:IRC|IRC]] network [[Freenode]]. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the [[m:IRC/Group_Contacts|Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts]] decided to move to the new [[Libera Chat]] network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a [[:m:IRC/Migrating_to_Libera_Chat|migration guide]] and Wikimedia [[m:Wikimedia Forum#Freenode (IRC)|discussions about this]].

:*After a [[WP:ARCA|Clarification request]], the Arbitration Committee modified [[WP:APLRS|Remedy 5]] of the ''Antisemitism in Poland'' case.

It also details using the talk page or the [[WP:RSN|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]] to discuss disputed sources.

== [[National Union of Freedom Fighters]] scheduled for TFA ==

This is to let you know that the [[National Union of Freedom Fighters]] article has been scheduled as [[WP:TFA|today's featured article]] for July 12, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 12, 2021]], but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. 

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

It would be nice to have an image for this, but I can't see anything obvious that's free-to-use. If you think of something, the new format for TFA images is
<nowiki>{{Main page image/TFA|image= |caption= <!-- if caption is the same as the title of article use only |title= --> }}</nowiki>
We suggest that you watchlist [[Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors]] from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! [[User:Jimfbleak|<b style="font-family:Lucida;color:red">Jimfbleak</b>]] - [[User talk:Jimfbleak|<span style="font-family:arial;color:green"><i>talk to me?</i></span>]] 14:36, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article "about a revolutionary group in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1970s. Because most of their leadership was killed, their story was largely untold until after 2000. When I created this article in 2005 the two sentence summary was all I knew, and almost all the attention they received in most sources."! --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 08:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

==Your draft article, [[User:Guettarda/Race]]==
[[File:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

Hello, Guettarda. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[User:Guettarda/Race|Race]]". 

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|User:Guettarda/Race|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code. 

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! <!-- Template:Db-draft-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]] ([[User talk:SWinxy|talk]]) 03:33, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|SWinxy|Liz}} - can one of you explain to me how G13 applies here? The article was in userspace, not draftspace, it had never been submitted to AFC, and had no placeholder text. It's trivial for me to restore this, but my understanding was that we specifically did ''not'' speedy-delete subpages of active editors. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 04:14, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
::Honestly, this feels incredibly shitty. Even though I know I can undelete the content myself, it feels really shitty and invasive. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 04:16, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
:::Oh fuck. I'm really sorry. Yeah it is shitty to do this. The reason you got into this was because the {{tl|userspace draft}} template was on your subpage. All I was trying to do was to help clear out [[:Category:Stale_userspace_drafts|stale drafts]], and I read [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Abandoned_Drafts#Stale_userspace_drafts|this page]] and thought that tagging G13 would be okay. I didn't read [[WP:STALE]], which would have stopped me dead before I did ''anything''. {{u|Liz}} (or any other admin reading this), please revert all my edits from the past 24 hours. I'm really sorry that this was so intrusive. I didn't mean it to be that way. I'm sorry. [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]] ([[User talk:SWinxy|talk]]) 04:53, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
::::My apologies, Guettarda. I work with a lot of stale drafts and our regular CSD G13 taggers are very accurate. I should have not taken this tagging for granted. I'm sorry for making you feel shitty. I'll double check everything that might have been inadvertently deleted. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 05:28, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|SWinxy|Liz}} Thanks so much for your response. I'm fine, but I'm worried about someone who felt more tentative in their position here. I know clearing backlogs can get tedious, I appreciate both of your work on this. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 20:46, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
::::::Thanks for being understanding. I was really freaking out feeling that I had done something quite wrong to someone, and I really mean no harm :(. I'll stay far away from non-talk-userspace pages for a while. Was it the notion of deleting the subject matter in particular that worried you? I don't really know what you mean by {{tq|I'm worried about someone who felt more tentative in their position here}}. [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]] ([[User talk:SWinxy|talk]]) 21:03, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
:::::::{{re|SWinxy}} there are lots of people who feel like they don't really belong here, like they really aren't members of the club. I work with new editors in my day job, and so many of them feel like they need permission from "Wikipedia" to actually participate. There are other people, more experienced ones, who feel like they've been ganged up on by the community - like the person you uses their admin tools for the first time in a decade and discovers the norms have changed and get dragged to ANI. 
:::::::Don't feel badly about it - there are so many rules, and we often have to break them to discover some part of them even exists. I apologise for over-reacting. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 22:57, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
::::::::Thanks for apologizing. I'm relieved you accept my apology too. :) [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]] ([[User talk:SWinxy|talk]]) 05:44, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2021 July newsletter ==

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:

*{{flagicon|BWA}} [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]], with 1825 points from 3 featured articles, 44 featured article reviews, 14 good articles, 30 good article reviews and 10 DYKs. In addition, he completed a 34-article good topic on the [[EFL Championship play-offs]].
*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], a New York specialist, with 1083 points from 2 featured article reviews, 18 good articles, 30 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
*{{flagicon|Republic of Venice|wartime}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 869 points from 11 DYKs, all with bonus points, and 54 "In the news" items, mostly covering people who had recently died.
*[[File:Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg|22px|England]] [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]], with 817 points from 3 featured articles on historic battles in Europe, 5 featured article reviews and 3 good articles.
*[[File:Bennington Flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]], with 659 points from 2 featured articles and 2 good articles on American Civil War battles, 18 featured article reviews, 2 good articles, 6 good article reviews and 4 DYKs.
*[[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]], a snooker specialist and new to the Cup, with 647 points from a featured article, 2 featured article reviews, 6 good articles, 6 good article reviews and 3 DYKs.

In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews,  165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. 

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

:*IP addresses of unregistered users are to [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|be hidden]] from everyone. There is a rough draft of how [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#Updates|IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them]]. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged.

== WikiCup 2021 September newsletter ==

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, {{flagicon|BWA}} [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] and {{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being {{flagicon|Republic of Venice|wartime}} [[User: Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are [[File:Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg|22px]] [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]], {{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], [[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]], {{flagicon|Rwanda}} [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] and [[File:Bennington Flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]]. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. [[File:Wandbild Portrait George Floyd von Eme Street Art im Mauerpark (Berlin).jpg|22px|George Floyd mural]] [[User:Bilorv|Bilorv]] scored for a 25-article good topic on [[Black Mirror]] but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:Sturmvogel 66|Sturmvogel 66]] and [[User:Cwmhiraeth|Cwmhiraeth]].

== Plagiarism question  ==

Thank you for identifying and deleting a recent edit one of my students did on an [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism|article]] that was flagged for copyright violation. I sometimes see edits that appear to be plagiarism though do not know how to confirm this or even be alerted to this being the case so I can take steps to remove and continue educating on avoiding this problem. Are there tools to help automate identifying copyright violation that can be used, even in my own editing? I would welcome adding additional help to my editing and teaching toolbox. Thank you again. --- [[User:FULBERT|FULBERT]] ([[User talk:FULBERT|talk]]) 11:39, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
: You can use this tool: https://copyvios.toolforge.org/   [[User:Hardyplants|Hardyplants]] ([[User talk:Hardyplants|talk]]) 11:53, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
::{{re|FULBERT}} Being a very lazy admin, I only clean up copyvios that land in my lap (or rather, my email) via the Wiki Education Dashboard reports. They are based on reports from [[User:EranBot]]'s [https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/en CopyPatrol] reports (but screened for student usernames). Unfortunately, they only work for mainspace and (I think) draftspace. The tool Hardyplants linked to, Earwig's tool, is does a pretty good job too. Unlike EranBot, which only looks at new edits, Earwig's tool can be used for any page. 
::Beyond that, style and tone are often good indicators. In this case, there was a line break in the text that was the kind you get when you copy and paste from a pdf. From the perspective of my own editing, [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]] was enlightening - and a bit disturbing, because I didn't even know close paraphrasing was a thing (or a problem) until that point. It's rather old now, but this editorial is still the best pieces of writing I've come across on copyvios in Wikipedia: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/September 2010/Editorials]] (and its precursor [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/August 2010/Editorials]]).

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

== Welcome to the 2022 WikiCup! ==

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2022 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part.

== "I wish there was a way to switch that on automatically for all new editors" ==

Concerning some comments you made [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-01-30/Special report|here]]. If the idea is to mass-rollout my script to student accounts enrolled in WikiEd programs... there might be a way

*An admin with [[Wikipedia:Interface administrators]] rights could get the list of students.
**If the interface admin is affiliated with the WikiEd program, then they could handle everything themselves.
**If the interface admin is not affiliated with the WikiEd program, they would need to be provided the list of students and then once provided with list, either handle everything themselves. 
*That admin could then either go through the list manually to enable the [[WP:UPSD]] script, or run an [[WP:ADMINBOT]] to automatically enable the script, on those student accounts.


You could also create a small 'New student guide' (or amend an existing one) and have each student do a couple of things after setting their accounts to get access to common tools and scripts like [[WP:UPSD]], but also useful things like  [[WP:Citation expander|the citation expander]] (with a possible nudge to read [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-08-01/Tips and tricks]]).

== WikiCup 2022 March newsletter ==

And so ends the first round of the [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|WikiCup]]. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:   

*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
*{{flagicon|Christmas Island}} [[User:AryKun|AryKun]], new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds. 
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
*{{flagicon|Philadelphia}} [[User:GhostRiver|GhostRiver]] was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} [[User:Kavyansh.Singh|Kavyansh.Singh]] was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
*[[File:Flag of Provo, Utah (1989–2015).svg|23px|link=Flag of Provo, Utah]] [[User:SounderBruce|SounderBruce]] was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} [[User:Ktin|Ktin]], another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]].

Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small>  [[User:Sturmvogel 66|Sturmvogel 66]] ([[User talk:Sturmvogel 66|talk]]) and [[User:Cwmhiraeth|Cwmhiraeth]] ([[User talk:Cwmhiraeth|talk]])  [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 12:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

== Ellis Nottingham ==

Moin Guettarda,<br />in <code>Michael Anthony: Port of Spain in a World at War 1939 - 1945, 2. edition, Paria Publishing, Port of Spain 1978, ISBN=976-8054-55-7</code> I stumbled across a small snippet of text that theoretically might be a starting point for an interesting biography article, but I couldn't find any follow-up information so far: "''For (cyclist Ellis) Nottingham, the war had come to the Caribbean. Just an hour or so before the declaration of war, he had left Port of Spain for Curaçao to compete in games there. However, when the declaration came, the German ship on which he was travelling suddenly changed course and headed for Germany. Ellis was to spend six years in Hamburg as a prisoner of war.''". I do have personal contacts I can ask (Jerry Besson, Brinsley Samaroo) but they're both not very Wikipedia affine (yet^^). Do you accidentally have any sources on the matter, or do you know an en:WP author who might know something about it?<br />Thanks and kind regards, [[User talk:Grueslayer|<span style="text-shadow: .2em .2em .2em #c5C3e3; font-family: Georgia; font-variant: small-caps; color: black">Grueslayer</span>]] 19:23, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Grueslayer|Grueslayer]] I couldn't think of anything. I tried ''The U-Boat War in the Caribbean'', hoping there might be something in there, but I couldn't find anything. 
:I would love to try and bring Besson or Samaroo into the fold. Maybe see if we organise something with Wiki Cari that might draw them in. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 01:03, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

:: I haven't seen Besson since 2016. By then he was worried about the future of historians in TT - Anthony and de Verteuil were and are old, and Bissessarsingh's health was already critical by then. Which leaves TT with him and Brereton. Luckily both are in good shape. I don't think Besson or Samaroo would be interested in ''writing'' for Wikipedia. What I sometimes think about - all of them must have books. Besson showed me his personal library, an entire room (well, larger closet) full of books on the history of TT. These are priceless treasures and must by no means disappear when their owners pass away. I have a friend with good UWI administration connections who's visiting me in June, maybe there is interest in a cooperation of any sorts. Kind regards, [[User talk:Grueslayer|<span style="text-shadow: .2em .2em .2em #c5C3e3; font-family: Georgia; font-variant: small-caps; color: black">Grueslayer</span>]] 10:23, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Grueslayer|Grueslayer]] I didn't mean actually writing, I was thinking more about trying to connect them with the movement more generally. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 13:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
:::: I hear ya. But I think the starting point needs to be UWI, with meetings or workshops for local editors. And, as step zero, a needs assessment among local editors. Do you have the impression that would be a path worth pursuing? Kind regards, [[User talk:Grueslayer|<span style="text-shadow: .2em .2em .2em #c5C3e3; font-family: Georgia; font-variant: small-caps; color: black">Grueslayer</span>]] 14:16, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
:::::Yes, definitely. I was talking to an old friend at UWI, and he said that while he had no interest in editing, he thought it might be something his grad students would want to learn about. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 14:32, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

== Notability advice ==

Moin Guettarda,<br />is there a page in the English Wikipedia where you can present a draft you've written and ask if the lemma is (probably) notable par the WP guidelines? We have [[:de:Wikipedia:Relevanzcheck]] on de:WP but a quick search didn't bring up an English equivalent. Asking for a friend.<br />Thanks and kind regards, [[User talk:Grueslayer|<span style="text-shadow: .2em .2em .2em #c5C3e3; font-family: Georgia; font-variant: small-caps; color: black">Grueslayer</span>]] 17:04, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Grueslayer|Grueslayer]] There's [[WP:AFC]]. A new editor could probably get helpful feedback at [[Wikipedia:Teahouse]] too. But I don't think there's actually anything equivalent. 
:I'd be happy to take a look at it for them, but how helpful I'd be would depend on the topic. Broadly, I think the Teahouse is best. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 18:38, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
*There's not one to my knowledge, but you can always ask at the specific WikiProject for the topic(s). It just depends on how many people monitor the page, though.

== Your [[WP:Good articles|GA]] nomination of [[Cyrus Prudhomme David]] ==
The article [[Cyrus Prudhomme David]] you nominated as a [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations|good article]] has been placed on hold [[File:Symbol wait.svg|20px|link=]]. The article is close to meeting the [[WP:GA?|good article criteria]], but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See [[Talk:Cyrus Prudhomme David]] for issues which need to be addressed. <!-- Template:GANotice result=hold --> <small>Message delivered by [[User:Legobot|Legobot]], on behalf of [[User:Ealdgyth|Ealdgyth]]</small> -- [[User:Ealdgyth|Ealdgyth]] ([[User talk:Ealdgyth|talk]]) 15:01, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2022 May newsletter ==

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

#{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
#{{flagicon|Christmas Island}} [[User:AryKun|AryKun]], with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
#{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
#[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|23px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
#[[File:Vexilloid of the Roman Empire.svg|20px|link=SPQR]] [[User:Ealdgyth|Ealdgyth]], with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews. 
#{{flagicon|United States of America}} [[User:Panini!|Panini!]], with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
#{{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

And you should never add a stub tag to an article that has already been assessed to be something more than a stub. The article is currently 1638 characters of "readable text", which is well over the 1500-character threshold for a DYK.

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
* Following an [[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Request for comment on administrator activity requirements|RfC]], a change has been made to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|administrators inactivity policy]]. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
* Following a [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard/Archive 47#Request for comment on Bureaucrat activity requirements|discussion]] on the [[WP:BN|bureaucrat's noticeboard]], a change has been made to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Inactive bureaucrat accounts|bureaucrats inactivity policy]].

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
* The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Admins and patrollers/(Un)delete associated talk page|11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey]].
* A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
* [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/St_Christopher#Single-purpose_accounts_restrained|Remedy 2]] of the ''St Christopher'' case has been rescinded following a [[Special:Permalink/1084812241#St Christopher|motion]]. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article [[St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine]] or related pages from those pages.

[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Category:Trinidad and Tobago jazz]] indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a [[:Category:Disambiguation categories|disambiguation category]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories|category redirect]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia featured topics categories|featured topics category]], under discussion at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for discussion]], or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under [[WP:CSD#C1|section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Category:Trinidad and Tobago jazz|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

== WikiCup 2022 July newsletter ==

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

*[[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]], with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process. 

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Hi, a long time ago you made this edit to Spoiler: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Mighty_Spoiler&diff=prev&oldid=7466367

Recently someone has suggested whether this in fact refers to "Portrait of Trinidad" by Sniper and I wonder if you have any comment on this? A fast google search did not show me any song with the title "Trinidad is My Land" by Spoiler. 

Thanks, [[User:James Fryer|James Fryer]] ([[User talk:James Fryer|talk]]) 11:02, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

==WikiCup 2022 September newsletter==
The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]], [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]] and [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]]. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For the remaining competitors, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and importantly, before the deadline on October 31st!

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> The judges are [[User:Sturmvogel 66|Sturmvogel 66]] and [[User:Cwmhiraeth|Cwmhiraeth]].

: ''As a reminder, you can view details about how to '''install the View it!''' user script or '''use the Toolforge tool''' on [[metawiki:View_it!_Tool|our meta page]]. Please use the talk page there to contact the team!''

'''August happenings'''

* We held two community conversations, one in person at [[metawiki:Wikimania_2022/Pittsburgh_Meetup|Wikimania 2022/Pittsburgh]] and one virtual during a [[metawiki:Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network|Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network]] meeting.
** During both meetings we discussed final design of View it!, and results refinement and querying. Check the [[metawiki:View_it!_Tool#August_2022|August updates]] for notes from both meetings.
* View it! is working across all Wikimedia projects, and we are currently working on multi-lingual functionality.

'''Coming in September'''

* Currently plan to focus development on multilingialism, on-wiki/editor features for the user script, and extending the search functions on Toolforge.
* We are continuing to respond to user feedback and finalizing design.

'''Action to take'''

* Install [[metawiki:View_it!_Tool#Beta_script_installation|Beta script]] and see how it can used to add new images to articles.
* All editors are invited to share the tool with their local wiki communities, or incorporate it into relevant local templates, such as infoboxes. If you do so, please let us know about it, so we can ensure backwards compatibility for that use case as we continue development!
* Feel free to leave comments on our [[metawiki:Talk:View_it!_Tool|Discussion]] page

A tag has been placed on [[:Mighty Bomber (disambiguation)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G14|section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a disambiguation page which either
:::*disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic?|primary topic]]);
:::* disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
:::*is an [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]] redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such pages may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB|see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Mighty Bomber (disambiguation)|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Mighty+Bomber+%28disambiguation%29|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-disambig-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Certes|Certes]] ([[User talk:Certes|talk]]) 14:16, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

'''September/October Happenings'''

** Commons Category search will also show sub-categories for more specific results.

'''Coming Soon'''
* We are releasing a new version of View it! that will implement some of the Toolforge functionality into the on-Wiki experience. 
* We are thinking about ways for View it! results to show up on page as an image grid, gallery or other form, without leaving the page. Please let us know what your idea/preference is. 
* Integrating editor features such as the ability to add an image from View it! or remove a faulty statement. 

'''Action to take'''
* [[metawiki:Talk:View_it!_Tool|Share]] your thoughts with us about the interface! What would you like the final product to look like? Should it be on-wiki? Preference on location of the button/link? We are open to ideas - please share them with us. 
* Install [[metawiki:View_it!_Tool#Beta_script_installation|Beta script]] and see how it can used to add new images to articles.
* All editors are invited to share the tool with their local wiki communities, or incorporate it into relevant local templates, such as infoboxes. If you do so, please let us know about it, so we can ensure backwards compatibility for that use case as we continue development!

== WikiCup 2022 November newsletter ==

The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The '''2022 champion''' is 
*{{flagicon|England}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]] (1752 points), who won in 2020 and was runner up in both 2019 and last year. In the final round he achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on cue sports. He was closely followed by 
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] (1732), who specialised in "In the news" items and DYKs, and who has reached the final round of the Cup for the past three years. Next was
*[[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]] (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by 
*{{flagicon|New York City}} [[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]] (1082), an "In the news" contributor, a seasoned contestant who first took part in the Cup ten years ago. Other finalists were 
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|23px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]] (930), who scored with a featured article, good articles and DYKs on TV and radio stations,

During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.

*{{flagicon|England}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]] wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round.
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} [[User:Kavyansh.Singh|Kavyansh.Singh]] wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
*[[File:Pirate Flag of Jack Rackham.svg|25px]] [[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]] wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.
*{{flagicon|Toronto}} [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.
*{{flagicon|New York}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]] wins the good article prize, for 32 GAs in round 1.
*[[File:Flag of Provo, Utah (1989–2015).svg|23px|link=Flag of Provo, Utah]] [[User:SounderBruce|SounderBruce]] wins the featured topic prize, for 4 FT articles in round 1.

*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] wins the In the news prize, for 106 ITNs in round 5 and 289 overall.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup#Points_for_next_year|on the discussion page]]. You are invited to '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2023 signups|sign up to take part]]''' in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition.

[[File:Surrealist painting of raccoons in fancy clothes enjoying New Years Eve party in a light bulb factory, writing encyclopedias.png|thumb|Happy New Year!]]
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Guettarda! 

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 18:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2023 March newsletter ==

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:   

*{{flagicon image|Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg|link=Dual monarchy of England and France}} [[User:Unlimitedlead|Unlimitedlead]] with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]] was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
*{{flagicon|Germany}} [[user:FrB.TG|FrB.TG]] was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
*{{flagicon|USA}} [[User:TheJoebro64|TheJoebro64]], another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
*{{flagicon|Byzantine Empire}} [[User:Iazyges|Iazyges]] was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included {{flagicon|Berkelland}} [[User:LunaEatsTuna|LunaEatsTuna]], {{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} [[User:Thebiguglyalien|Thebiguglyalien]], {{flagicon image|Transgender Pride flag.svg|link=Transgender}} [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], {{flagicon|New England}} [[User:Trainsandotherthings|Trainsandotherthings]],  {{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], {{flagicon|Indonesia}} [[User:Juxlos|Juxlos]], {{flagicon image|Flag of Earth.svg|link=Earth}} [[User:Unexpectedlydian|Unexpectedlydian]], {{flagicon|Washington}} [[User:SounderBruce|SounderBruce]], {{flagicon|Wales}} [[User:Kosack|Kosack]], {{flagicon image|Flag_of_Esperanto.svg|link=Esperanto}} [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]] and {{flagicon|Chicago}} [[User:PCN02WPS|PCN02WPS]]. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]].

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Greetings.  You moved this to draft (and rightly so in my opinion).  The editor simply removed the conclusion, which is a good start, but the remainder of the essay-like article remains.

*{{flagicon|Byzantine Empire}} [[User:Iazyges|Iazyges]] (1040) with three FAs on [[Martinus (son of Heraclius)|Byzantine emperors]], and lots of bonus points.
*{{flagicon image|Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg|link=Dual monarchy of England and France}} [[User:Unlimitedlead|Unlimitedlead]] (847), with three FAs on [[Government of Macedonia (ancient kingdom)|ancient history]], one GA and nine reviews.

*{{flagicon|Germany}} [[user:FrB.TG|FrB.TG]] (525), with one FA, a Lady Gaga [[Telephone (song)|song]] and a mass of bonus points.

Other notable performances were put in by {{flagicon image|Transgender Pride flag.svg|link=Transgender}} [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], {{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} [[User:Thebiguglyalien|Thebiguglyalien]], {{flagicon image|Cat in console.png}} [[User:MyCatIsAChonk|MyCatIsAChonk]], {{flagicon|Chicago}} [[User:PCN02WPS|PCN02WPS]], and {{flagicon|London}} [[User:AirshipJungleman29|AirshipJungleman29]].

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

* Following [[Special:Permalink/1155694672#RfC on a procedural community desysop|an RfC]], editors indefinitely site-banned by [[WP:CBAN|community consensus]] will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
* As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's [[m:IP Masking|IP Masking]] project, a [[foundation:Policy:Access to temporary account IP addresses|new policy has been created]] that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses.

== The Core Contest winners announced ==

The winners of the 2023 [[WP:The Core Contest|The Core Contest]] are announced 🎉. We had an amazing set of improvements this year, and the judges ({{noping|Femke}}, {{noping|Aza24}} and {{noping|Casliber}}) would like to thank everybody who joined and congratulate the winners. 

* First place goes to {{noping|Buidhe}} for improving  [[The Holocaust]]; very core, highly relevant; their work on bringing geographical balance to the article puts the topic in a whole different light. We also commend improvements to sourcing and prose
* A close second place goes to {{noping|Phlsph7}} for improving [[Education]] from an unstructured jumble into a well-sourced piece of instruction
* Third prize goes to {{noping|Johnbod}} for improving  [[Donatello]], a near five-fold expansion with great sourcing and fantastic imagery
* A tie for fourth place goes to {{noping|Thebiguglyalien}} for improving [[Crime]], for a strong improvement in sourcing
* A tie for fifth place goes to {{noping|Sammielh}} for [[International law]], improved by converting contextless listicles into a proper sourced prose

|-
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|a new monthly rolling contest]], inspired by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Contest|the contest]] run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars!

== Wikiproject Military history coordinator election nominations open ==

Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election have opened. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next coordination year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Becoming a coordinator|here]]. If you are interested in running, please sign up '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/September 2023|here]]''' by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting will commence on 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators|current coord team]].

== WikiCup 2023 September newsletter ==

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by 
*{{flagicon image|Transgender Pride flag.svg|link=Transgender}} [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was 
*{{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} [[User:Thebiguglyalien|Thebiguglyalien]], with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> 

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup.

The first edition of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|our new monthly contest]] had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for [[Holozoa]] and ''[[Hypericum perforatum]]''. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was {{noping|Simongraham}}, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.
<br>
<small>Also anyone who wants to help coordinate the contest can just drop by at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|the talk page]], I really need help.</small>

The second edition of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|our monthly contest]] was even better than the last month, with 80 articles improved spanning the entire tree of life. The winner this month was {{noping|Quetzal1964}}, who contributed to 47 articles, mainly relating to [[marine fish]], and racked up 81 points in the process. In second place was {{noping|simongraham}}, who got 60 points from 14 articles on various species of [[jumping spider]]s. {{noping|simongraham}} is still at the top of our overall standings, with 130 points, and {{noping|Quetzal1964}}'s close behind on 108. The November edition of the contest is now open: feel free to drop by and participate if you work on any TOL-related articles this month.

== Reference library project ==

Hi, Ian. I wanted to share something with you about a shared references project that I've been working on for a little while. At the end of this message, I'll have a question which you might be uniquely placed to help with. This project is not yet ready for prime-time, but it involves an idea I have of extending the concept of [[WP:NAMEDREFS|shared, named references]] by generalizing it to allow sharing the same citation across different articles via a repository of common, reusable references, which I call a "reference library" (or, "ref lib", for short). 

If workable, I think there would be plenty of advantages to this idea: it would go a long way towards promoting [[WP:V|Verifiability]] by allowing those editors with strong citation writing skills to create libraries of citations in Wikipedia citation template format of high-quality sources, all properly filled out, and expose them to everyone, so that other editors could just pick them up at a central location, instead of having to reinvent the wheel, finding or recreating the same citations for different articles in the same topic area. Editors with less developed citation-writing skills (or unable or unwilling to create or hunt them down) could just grab citations ready-made from the reference library about their topic. There would be plenty of other benefits, not least of which is bringing quality citations to the attention of editors who didn't know about them (sort of like browsing the stacks at a library), as well as saving the project collectively a lot of time: when I work on a new article, hunting down references and writing the citations for them is a big part of it (40% of time spent, perhaps?). Wouldn't it be great to just be able to find great citations for sterling sources pre-made and pre-vetted at a specified location, containing a reference library already populated with numerous high-quality citations all ready to go?

That's the elevator pitch, and my prototype is at {{tl|Reflib}}. The template currently powers libraries in three article domains: [[Template:Reflib/Ancient seafaring|Ancient seafaring]], [[Template:Reflib/French criminal law|French criminal law]], and [[Template:Reflib/Vichy France|Vichy France]], so you don't actually have to copy any citations out of the library to your article (although you could do that, too), you just transclude them by name via the template. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Template%3AReflib&namespace=0 About a dozen articles] currently source citations from the three ref libs currently. To see some examples of articles currently using Reflib, look at the "Works cited" section of  [[Ships of ancient Rome#Works cited|Ships of ancient Rome]], or [[Glossary of French criminal law#Works cited|Glossary of French criminal law]].  I'd like to increase the number of ref libs to about a dozen libraries before bringing this to VPM or some central location, and my question for you relates to finding new topic areas that would be a good fit for a ref lib.

I thought you would be an ideal person to ask, based on your experience over a wide number of topics because of your experience with Wiki Ed.  A good topic area, would be one undergoing growth (new articles or expanded articles), or expected to grow, in which the new or expanded articles are likely to have overlapping references that could be reused in two or more articles belonging to the topic. An ideal topic area, would be one which already has a couple of good "anchor articles" which are full of references, but is "missing" lots of potential new articles (lots of redlinks is a good sign). (Think by analogy, of a new mall with a couple of "anchor stores" open, but with most of the smaller boutique-y mall stores still empty and being set up.) A nav template with lots of red links (like {{tl|French criminal law}}{{thinspace}}) is a strong indicator that there is a topic area undergoing expansion, or in need of expansion, and that might be a good fit for Reflib. (That topic area became the first ref lib.)

(By contrast, a poor topic area might be one that is very mature, with little activity going on. Even in this case, a ref lib could be set up and the articles retrofitted to use {{tl|Reflib}}, but if everything is already cited and working and there's little going on in the area, there's no particular time-saving or ref-expansion benefit to be had. Another poor topic area for Reflib, would be one where all the articles in the topic area, even if related, hardly ever share any references; Covid developments by country might be an example, where the references would be newspapers from different countries, maybe with a few shared UN or CDC links, but mostly completely disjoint sets of newspaper or journal citations.)

I hope I haven't completely snowed you under hitting you with this out of the blue, but I'm excited about this topic, and I think it could bring great productivity and verifiability benefits to Wikipedia if widely adopted, and I'm eager to expand the number of reference libraries and thought you could point me to some good topic areas I might look at. If some Wiki Ed courses are looking to create or expand articles in some topic area, that might be a good fit. Anyway, let me know what you think in general about the idea, and also if you can point me to some new topic areas that could benefit from a new ref lib.

Now, this newsletter is technically not new, but I have only recently become aware of its existence and am only a month late, so it still counts. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi|Wikiproject Fungi]]'s [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi/Lichen task force|Lichen task force]] has [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi/Lichen task force/Newsletter|a new newsletter]] that is very nicely formatted and also features much better writing than ''this'' newsletter. Anyone interested in receiving the newsletter can add their name [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi/Lichen task force/Newsletter#Delivery options|here]].

And so ends the fourth edition of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|monthly rolling contest]], as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw {{noping|simongraham}} win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. {{noping|Quetzal1964}} was second with 74 points from 37 articles.

Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year. Additionally, a very Happy New Year to everyone in the project and here's looking forward to continuing our good work in 2024!

== Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter ==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.<div style="column-count:2; column-width: 400px;">

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

'''Highlights of 2023:'''

;Newsletters Galore: We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.

;Growing Strong: The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.

;Wikimania Talks: Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.

;Content Creation Magic: Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.

;Campaigning hard: We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

'''Acknowledging Challenges:'''

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

'''Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:'''

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.

Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Warm regards,
[[m:User:Ainali|User:Ainali]], [[m:User:Daniel Mietchen|User:Daniel Mietchen]]

== WikiCup 2024 February newsletter ==

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}}, who has one FA on [[John Littlejohn (preacher)]] and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}}, with one FA on [[Hö'elün]], two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, and two DYKs;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Vami IV}}, with one FA on [[Doom (2016 video game)]], one GA on [[Boundary Fire (2017)]], and 11 reviews;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|MaranoFan}}, with one FA on [[Holidays (Meghan Trainor song)]], a nine-article FT on [[30 (album)]], and two DYKs;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Skyshifter}}, with one FA on [[OneShot]] and one DYK;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}}, with five GAs and five DYKs on television and radio stations;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|voorts}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Elli}}, both with one FA and one DYK each.

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges ({{User|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User|Epicgenius}}, and {{User|Frostly}}) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from  [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 17:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

==Outsider Within==
Hi there, {{u|Guettarda}}. You and your WikiEdu colleagues might be interested in the recent paper [https://online.ucpress.edu/cs/article/5/1/90253/199636  "Wikipedia and the Outsider Within: Black Feminism and Social Inequality in Knowledge Sharing"] and the related discussion on the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Women_in_Red#Wikipedia%27s_shortcomings_in_regard_to_Black_women|Women in Red talkpage]].--[[User:Ipigott|Ipigott]] ([[User talk:Ipigott|talk]]) 15:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks {{u|Ipigott}}. Tracy let us know about the article when it was published; we've supported her classes for a long time, and she's great. I wasn't aware of the discussion at WiR, and I will make sure that my colleagues are aware of it. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] ([[User talk:Guettarda#top|talk]]) 02:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2024 March newsletter ==

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:   

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}}, who has 916 points mostly from one FA on [[John Littlejohn (preacher)]], 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Vami IV}}, who has 790 points from two FAs on [[Felix M. Warburg House]] and [[Doom (2016 video game)]], two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}}, who has 580 points from one FA on [[Hö'elün]], two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}}, who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|MaranoFan}}, who has 351 points from one FA on [[Holidays (Meghan Trainor song)]], a nine-article FT on [[30 (album)]], and three DYKs
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Skyshifter}}, who has 345 points from one FA on [[OneShot]], one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Vami IV}}, who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five [[Wikipedia:Content assessment/A-Class criteria|A-class]] articles, eight other good articles, and two [[Wikipedia:Four Award|Four Award]]s. Vami also wrote an essay on [[User:Vami_IV/Completionism|completionism]], a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his [[User:Vami IV/My works|to-do list]].

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]]. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from  [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 00:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2024 July newsletter ==

The third round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 June. As with Round 2, this round was competitive: each of the 16 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 256 points.

The following editors all scored more than 400 points in Round 3:

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} with 1,059 points, mostly from 1 [[WP:FA|featured article]] on [[DeLancey W. Gill]], 11 [[WP:GA|good articles]], 18 [[WP:DYK|did you know]] nominations, and dozens of reviews;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Skyshifter}} with 673 points, mostly from 2 featured articles on [[Worlds (Porter Robinson album)]] and [[I'm God]], 5 good articles, and 2 did you know nominations;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}} with 557 points, mostly from 1 featured article on [[KNXV-TV]], 5 good articles, and 8 did you know nominations; and
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|AryKun}} with 415 points, mostly from 1 featured article on [[Great cuckoo-dove]], with a high number of bonus points from that article.

The full scores for round 3 can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2024/Round 3|here]]. So far this year, competitors have gotten 28 featured articles, 38 featured lists, 240 good articles, 92 [[WP:ITN|in the news]] credits, and at least 285 [[WP:DYK|did you know]] credits. They have conducted 279 featured article reviews, as well as 492 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 22 articles to [[Wikipedia:featured topics|featured topics]] and [[Wikipedia:good topics|good topics]].

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed during Round 4, which starts on 1 July at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]].

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring|this page]]. Further questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges ({{User|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User|Epicgenius}}, and {{User|Frostly}}) are reachable on their talk pages.

== WikiCup 2024 August newsletter ==

The fourth round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 29 August. Each of the 8 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 472 points, and the following contestants scored more than 700 points:

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} with 1,150 points, mostly from 3 [[WP:FA|featured article]]s, 2 [[WP:FL|featured lists]], 7 [[WP:GA|good articles]], and 13 [[WP:DYK|did you know]] nominations;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Arconning}} with 791 points, mostly from 2 featured lists, 8 good articles, 4 did you know nominations, and plenty of reviews;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}} with 718 points, mostly from a high-multiplier featured article on [[Genghis Khan]] and 2 good articles; and
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|BennyOnTheLoose}} with 714 points, mostly from 1 featured article on [[Susanna Hoffs]], 2 featured lists, and 3 good articles.

Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated. Contestants put in extraordinary amounts of effort during this round, and their scores can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2024/Round 4|here]]. So far this year, competitors have gotten 36 featured articles, 55 featured lists, 15 good articles, 93 [[WP:ITN|in the news]] credits, and at least 333 [[WP:DYK|did you know]] credits. They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to [[Wikipedia:featured topics|featured topics]] and [[Wikipedia:good topics|good topics]].

Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. If two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]]. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring|this page]]. Further questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges ({{User|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User|Epicgenius}}, and {{User|Frostly}}) are reachable on their talk pages.
