== Walter Donaldson ==

Hi. I'm really confused - why have you created a second nomination for Walter Donaldson to FAC when it's already an FA, then pass the nomination and claim WikiCup points? '''[[User:Lee Vilenski|<span style="color:green">Lee Vilenski</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Lee Vilenski|talk]] • [[Special:Contribs/Lee Vilenski|contribs]])</sup>''' 20:38, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
: Hi, Upper20.  At Walter Donaldson, you created a FAC page in Draft, then moved the Draft to a FAC page, and then indicated the article had been promoted by FACbot, when in fact, the article is already an [[WP:FA|FA]], and was never submitted to [[WP:FAC]].  The pages you created erroneously have now been deleted.  Could you have a look at the [[WP:FAC|FAC instructions]] so you can avoid doing something like this again?  Regards, [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]])  21:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh, sorry I didn't mean to cause any disturbances, I really didn't know what I was doing. OK I'll try reading the FAC instructions, again sorry for the disturbances. [[User:20 upper|20 upper]] ([[User talk:20 upper#top|talk]]) 03:35, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

== Introduction to contentious topics ==
{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text  = You have recently been editing gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them which has been designated a [[WP:AC/CT|contentious topic]]. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and ''does '''not''' imply that there are any issues with your editing.''

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as '''contentious topics'''. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. 

Within contentious topics, editors should edit '''carefully''' and '''constructively''', refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
:adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
:comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
:follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
:comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
:refrain from gaming the system.

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gender and sexuality|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. {{pb}}[[Feminism]], as but one example, is a gender-related contentious topic.

== Citation needed ==

Not sure why you see [[Largest non-human primates]] as original research, and I don't get why I have to add a citation when other similar pages like [[List of largest land carnivorans]], [[Largest wild canids]] and [[List of heaviest land mammals|Heaviest land mammals]] provide no such citation. Help me understand, will you? [[User:20 upper|20 upper]] ([[User talk:20 upper#top|talk]]) 13:21, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

:See [[WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS]]; offering an example of similar elsewhere on Wikipedia isn't usually a good idea, as the example could be equally wrong (anyone can edit Wikipedia and it's full of policy-breaching stuff).  But those articles don't seem to make the same mistakes, which are:
:# List articles are just that, and the criteria for being on the list should be defined early on.  See [[Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists]].  You can find good samples of [[WP:FL|featured lists]].
:# Yours is an article making an outright claim that: "This is a list that contains 10 of the largest primate species (excluding humans".  If you meant the article to be a [[List of largest non-human primates]], it should be named that.  The statement, "that contains 10 of the largest primate species (excluding humans)", is uncited.  [[WP:OR|Original research]], specifically [[WP:SYNTH|synthesis]], means that you took information from multiple sources and combined it to draw a conclusion not found in the sources.  What source states that these particular ten are ten of the largest ?? That is, how can we verify there aren't ten others that are larger than these ten?
:It can always be assumed (unless it's a [[WP:FL|FL]], that lists are incomplete.  The way you composed this article, the claim is that ''these are THE 10'' larger, and there are no more larger, but that assertion is uncited. 
:[[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]])  15:11, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

So I should change the name to make it a [[Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists|Stand-alone list]]. So there will be no need for a citation if a change the name of the article, right? [[User:20 upper|20 upper]] ([[User talk:20 upper#top|talk]]) 15:31, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

:Moving the article to a stand-alone list would be a first step.  (I recommend that you personally refrain from moving articles until you have gained more experience, and instead seek assistance from related WikiProjects.)  But the lead statement is still original research.  The lead would need to define the criteria for list inclusion without making a statement about "10 largest", which is the original research/synthesis part that requires citation.  If you consider what the criteria would be, then others will be able to make the necessary adjustments.  {{pb}} More pressing is the question of whether you have taken this time to carefully re-read all of the links posted to you throughout your talk page; getting one article fixed is less important than making sure that you are taking on board how your editing needs to adjust so you don't end up blocked again.

== 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]].

== Reverting my edits ==

I understand the need to revert over links. For example, we're not supposed to wiklink dates or city names in citations.  However, hyperlinking to the journals and authors in citations seems obviously useful and the kind of thing Wikipedia and the web in general is so useful for compared to paper.  Am I wrong in this and somehow violating a Wikpedia policy?  As for over-emphasizing one author (Stirling), I was planning to continue with other edits linking to the other authors whom I could find existing articles for, but he was the most prominent, so I started with him.  Given the rapid pace of edits for such a prominent article, I don't think it's practical to advise editors to wait until they have a mega-edit of linking to every possible author ready before publishing because that almost guarantees an edit conflict with someone else who's already put in an edit in the meantime. Instead, don't you think it makes more sense to go incrementally?  [[User:Carney333|Carney333]] ([[User talk:Carney333|talk]]) 21:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

== [[Fishing cat]] ==

Hey, Wolverine. I've been [[User_talk:Ingenuity#20_upper|asked]] to look into your behaviour on the GANs for this article. Please take a step back for a little while - two editors have given some good advice on improving the article, and I'm sure they are both willing to give you feedback on your changes. However, comments like [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Fishing_cat/GA2&diff=prev&oldid=1216024188 this] are both unproductive and unfair to the reviewer. Please remember to remain civil and assume good faith on the part of others. Thanks, —&nbsp;[[User:Ingenuity|Ingenuity]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Ingenuity#top|talk]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[Special:Contribs/Ingenuity|contribs]]) 18:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{Re|Ingenuity}} Allow me to explain. I'm not attempting to act impolite. As you can see, I modified fishing cat and got it ready for GA. {{U|Grungaloo}} failed the article for lack of broadness without allowing me to comment. All right, so I woke up early the following morning and added what little information I could locate about the species. I then wrote a note on Grungaloo's talk page for it. I nominated it again after following Grungaloo's advice. {{u|Fritzmann}} appeared and quickly failed the article on the grounds that I had not, in fact, followed Grungaloo's recommendations. What struck me about Fritzmann was their statement "the only addition was a section on infections." At GAN nominaters should let the editor make corrections to the article, not to fail it for that reason. In addition, Fritzmann overreacted by criticizing me harshly for my prior behavior even though I had been acting well lately. I think there is a misunderstanding here and that both of us are in the wrong. The aforementioned comment is what really caught my attention. Additionally, the issue with their quick fails is that, despite my best efforts, there is not enough scientific literature to support their claims. {{u|Fritzmann}}, I'd like to talk to you to make things okay.

== Giraffe revert ==

Apologies, I think it must have been a template issue or something.  At the time the infobox was broken in only your (latest) revision but not previous ones, someone else alerted me to it online and the issue was visible for me in multiple browsers and on multiple devices for only that revision which is why I reverted it.  I dunno what happened there but whatever it is, it's fixed now (even your original revision I reverted shows up as it should).  I thought maybe an odd encoding/parsing issue happened with the comma you added. Sorry for the confusion!  [[User:Ennuified|Ennuified]] ([[User talk:Ennuified|talk]]) 03:25, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
