[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
:* Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 154#RFC:Close MedCom?|request for comment]], the [[Wikipedia:Mediation Committee|Mediation Committee]] is now closed and will no longer be accepting case requests.
:* A [[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy#Should BAG members have an activity requirement?|request for comment]] is in progress to determine whether members of the [[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group|Bot Approvals Group]] should satisfy activity requirements in order to remain in that role.
:* A [[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Proposal to tighten administrator inactivity procedure|request for comment]] is in progress regarding whether to change the administrator inactivity policy, such that administrators "who have made no logged administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped". Currently, the policy states that administrators "who have made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped".
:* A [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Proposing a temporary measure to assist in protecting the Main Page|proposal has been made]] to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to [[Wikipedia:Interface administrators|interface administrators]] in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:* Administrators and bureaucrats can no longer unblock themselves unless they placed the block initially. This [[phab:T150826|change]] has been implemented globally. See also [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Should administrators be able to unblock themselves?|this ongoing village pump discussion]] ([[Special:PermanentLink/871413610#Should administrators be able to unblock themselves?|permalink]]).
:* To complement the aforementioned change, blocked administrators will <span class="plainlinks">[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/core/+/476080/ soon have the ability]</span> to block the administrator that placed their block to mitigate the possibility of a compromised administrator account blocking all other active administrators.
:* Since deployment of [[Wikipedia:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Per-user page, namespace, and upload blocking|Partial blocks]] on [[testwiki:Test Wikipedia|Test Wikipedia]], several bugs were identified. Most of them [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/69xObGcky3ah/#R are now fixed]. Administrators are encouraged to test the new deployment and [[:mw:How to report a bug|report new bugs]] on Phabricator or leave feedback on the [[Wikipedia_talk:Community_health_initiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Per-user_page,_namespace,_and_upload_blocking|Project's talk page]]. You can [[:testwiki:Wikipedia:Requests/Permissions|request administrator access on the Test Wiki here]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:* Voting in the [[WP:ACE2018|2018 Arbitration Committee Elections]] is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 3 December 2018. Please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2018/Candidates|the candidates]] and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/710|the voting page]].

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:* In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. '''If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately.''' Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on [[List of data breaches|a website that suffered a data breach]]. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
:* Wikipedia policy [[Wikipedia:Password strength requirements|requires administrators to have strong passwords]]. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]]. A [[Template:Committed identity|committed identity]] can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.

[[File:Nuvola apps knewsticker.png|20px|alt=]] '''Obituaries'''
:* {{noping|Shock Brigade Harvester Boris}} (Raymond Arritt) passed away on 14 November 2018. Boris joined Wikipedia as {{noping|Raymond arritt}} on 8 May 2006 and was an administrator from 30 July 2007 to 2 June 2008.

== ''A Star Is Born'' soundtrack ==

Hi AB, can I request your eyes on the [[A_Star_Is_Born_(2018_soundtrack)#Personnel|credit section]] of ''A Star Is Born'' and see if it can be rearranged better and divided into subsection? I cannot seem to find a way to do it :( —[[User:IndianBio|<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Courier New; color: #6F00FF;"><b>I</b><b style="color: #FF033E;">B</b></span>]] <sup>[ [[User talk:IndianBio|<b style="font-family: Tempus Sans ITC; color: #1C1CF0;">Poke</b>]] ]</sup> 14:01, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
:{{Ping|IndianBio}} To be honest, most of the time I create a Personnel section, I do so as a simple list (like the current version) unless I see credits in another format. Sometimes production personnel are separated out. I do notice some of the entries need to be converted to lower case after the endashes, but otherwise, we might need to look at the album's liner notes to see if any subsections or other ways to organize the names would be appropriate. ---[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#C60">Talk</span>]])</sub> 16:01, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

== [[Weather machine]] scheduled for TFA ==

This is to let you know that the [[Weather machine]] article has been scheduled to be rerun as [[WP:TFA|today's featured article]] for January 6, 2019 (previously run on January 6, 2014). 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/January 6, 2019]], but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

We also suggest that you watchlist [[Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors]] on the day before and the day of this TFA. Thanks!

== Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup! ==
==Eric Clapton's ''Happy Xmas'' Album==
The interview I quoted from is all about the album - Clapton explains the way the album was made, and tells interesting (IMHO) stories about all the songs. It isn't "too much content from a single source" because everything I wrote is taken from one 50-minute video. Since I am obviously not English, you're free to rewrite those contents in a more stylisitically correct way, but I very frankly can't see the point in removing all of it. [[User:Ugo1970|Ugo1970]] ([[User talk:Ugo1970|talk]]) 18:01, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup|here]]'''. If you have not yet signed up, you can '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2025 signups|add your name here]]''' and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup|WikiCup talk page]].
A tag has been placed on [[:Draft:The Conjugal Conjecture]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:


For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#What's changed from last year?|several changes]] to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Tournament points|tournament points]] at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.
<blockquote>Swapped draft with mainspace redirect, this isn't necessary.</blockquote>


The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: {{User4|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User4|Epicgenius}}, {{User4|Frostly}}, {{User4|Guerillero}} and {{User4|Lee Vilenski}}.

== "Shallow" (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper song) ==
|rowspan=4|[[File:Space Needle 1 2016-08-15.jpg |left |200px |link=Wikipedia:WikiProject Seattle]]
{{Collapse top}}
Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article [[Shallow (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper song)|"Shallow" (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper song)]] has been completed.

In the Development and Composition section this sentence, "A slow-burning, country[19] and folk pop[20] power ballad, "Shallow" features instrumentation mainly from Nelson's acoustic guitar and Cooper's piano with Cooper and Gaga trading verses." In the film, as I recall, Cooper is only shown playing guitar on stage. If so "Cooper's" piano should read "Gaga's" piano. I'll leave this to you.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

== Take part in a survey ==
{{Collapse top}}
Hi Another Believer

We're working to [[:m:Research:How much do Wikipedians value editing Wikipedia?|measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms]]. We want to ask you some questions about how '''you''' value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the [https://store.wikimedia.org/ Wikipedia store] (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Click here to access the survey: https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXJcEhLKioNHuJv

Thanks

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the [[User talk:Ronhjones|bot owner]] if you have any questions, or you can ask them at [[Wikipedia talk:Non-free content]]. See [[User:RonBot]] for info on how to not get these messages. [[User:RonBot|RonBot]] ([[User talk:RonBot|talk]]) 18:00, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

This month: '''A general update.'''

{{-}}

The current status of the project is as follows:
* Progress of the project has been generally delayed since September due to development issues (more bitrot than expected, some of the code just being genuinely confusing, etc) and personal injury (I suffered a concussion in October and was out of commission for almost two months as a result).
* I currently expect to be putting out a proper call for CollaborationKit pilots in January/February, with estimated deployment in February/March if things don't go horribly wrong (they will, though, don't worry). As a part of that, I will properly update [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|the page]] and send out announcement and reach out to all projects [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots#Sign-up_list|already signed up as pilots]] for WikiProject X in general, at which point those (still) interested can volunteer specifically to test the [[mw:extension:CollaborationKit|CollaborationKit extension]].
** [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots]] was originally created for the first WikiProject X prototype, and given this is where the project has since gone, it's only logical to continue to use it. While I haven't yet updated the page to properly reflect this:
** If you want to add your project to this page now, feel free. Just bear in mind that more information what to actually expect will be added later/included in the announcement, because by then I will have a much better idea myself.
* Until then, you can find me in my corner working on making the CollaborationKit code do what we want and not just what we told it, per [[phab:tag/mediawiki-extensions-collaborationkit/|the workboard]].

Until next time,

(To discontinue receiving Project Genealogy newsletters, please see below)

=== Now 100 supporters===
At 3 December 2018, the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_genealogy_project#Support list of users who support the potential Wikimedia genealogy project], reached 100!

===A demo wiki is up and running!===
You can already now try out the demo for a genealogy wiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/wiki/Main_Page and try out the functions. You will find parts of the 18th Pharao dynasty and other records submitted by the 7 first users, and '''it would be great if you would add some records'''.

And with those great news we want to wish you a creative New Year 2019!

== One-sentence articles revisited ==
{{Collapse top}}
I respectfully request that you cease creating articles which contain only one sentence. You have the experience on Wikipedia and the education outside of it to write an article of substance, fully sourced and consistent with Wikipedia rules and documentation. Why you have chosen to avoid doing so is unknown to me. Such a method amounts to piling unnecessary work onto the shoulders of busy editors. The most important currency we have is time. I would like to see editors spend their time more wisely rather than be smothered by pointless busywork. Cheers, mate. It's a good day to turn over a new maple leaf, eh?<br />[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]] ([[User talk:Vmavanti|talk]]) 20:04, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{tps}} {{U|Vmavanti}}: What work is being created for other busy editors? If you could be specific about some task that this editor or another willing editor can add to their article creation process and thereby reduce the burden that you claim exists, that would be helpful information. Is there some guideline or policy being violated by the creation of these new stub articles? Many excellent articles have begun as very short stubs. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 22:00, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
:: Come on. Don't call me a stalker. On what page should I have brought up this subject?<br />[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]] ([[User talk:Vmavanti|talk]]) 00:25, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
:: I thought I was talking to AnotherBeliever. I don't know if you are breaking any rules or not. That's not the point. I work on the jazz Cleanup Listing which is released every Tuesday [https://tools.wmflabs.org/bambots/cwb/bycat/Jazz.html here]. Most of the work is done by me and another guy. There are nearly 4500 articles that require serious work. This backlog goes back ten years. There are at least two approaches: to clean up problems and to prevent them from recurring. This latter role necessarily involves a degree of correction. One correction I would like to make is encouraging people to avoid creating stubs. An experienced editor, a mature, educated, responsible adult knows that a lot of effort goes into producing an article of substance. It's easy to create an article, add one sentence, then maybe a source, or not, then leave it to others to do the rest. I don't know where you grew up, but where I grew up that's called lazy and irresponsible. One doesn't volunteer others for work, particularly if one is capable of doing more. I'm not saying it has to be perfect. But is one sentence your idea of a good article?

:: It's hard for me to take a comment like this seriously: "If you could be specific about some task that this editor or another willing editor can add". Yes, how about adding content? Is one sentence your idea of adequate content? The most recent Cleanup Listing (Jan 1, 2019) has six articles under "Context needed". They were created by AnotherBeliever. Every one of those articles is one sentence long. The infoboxes have one or two entries. Why isn't the point I'm making obvious? I'm getting this information from the Cleanup Listing, by the way, not from stalking Talk pages, and frankly that's a dumb, paranoid, insulting accusation. One sentence doesn't cut it. If someone handed you a broom to sweep a floor, how much of that floor would you sweep? Six inches? I'm genuinely curious about how this has become an acceptable practice on Wikipedia. I'm being generous by calling these articles inchoate. I can think of less flattering words. Either do more to give beginning articles a good foundation or don't create articles. Don't create crap. Capece?<br />[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]] ([[User talk:Vmavanti|talk]]) 00:57, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
::: Vmavanti, Jonesey95 was not calling you a talk page stalker, they were self-identifying as a talk page stalker. I acknowledge your request, but I won't commit to not creating stubs. Also, you make it sound like I create sub-stubs about jazz often, when really I just created a handful of stubs for albums recently nominated for Grammy Awards after viewing the list of nominees. Not a big deal, in my opinion, and these articles will be fleshed out at some point. ---[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#C60">Talk</span>]])</sub> 01:23, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
:::: Thanks for the clarification. But what's the problem? I have a ten year old backlog of almost 5000 articles which someone created, probably thinking they "will be fleshed out at some point". It's the old "If not me, who?" and "If not now, when"? Woulda, coulda, shoulda, as a friend of mine used to say years ago.<br />[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]] ([[User talk:Vmavanti|talk]]) 04:55, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
:* There are a number of new or changed [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion criteria]], each previously part of [[WP:CSD#G6]]:
::#'''[[WP:CSD#G14|G14]]''' (new): Disambiguation pages that disambiguate only zero or one existing pages are now covered under the new G14 criterion ([[Special:Permalink/874654073#Proposal: Move deletion of disambiguation pages from G6 → G14|discussion]]). This is {{tl|db-disambig}}; the text is unchanged and candidates may be found in [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as unnecessary disambiguation pages]].
::#'''[[WP:CSD#R4|R4]]''' (new): Redirects in the file namespace (and no [[Wikipedia:File link|file links]]) that have the same name as a file or redirect at [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons|Commons]] are now covered under the new R4 criterion ([[Special:Permalink/874654073#Redirects in the File: namespace G6 → R4|discussion]]). This is {{tl|db-redircom}}; the text is unchanged.
::#'''[[WP:CSD#G13|G13]]''' (expanded): Userspace drafts containing only the default Article Wizard text are now covered under G13 along with other drafts ([[Special:Permalink/874654073#Proposal to merge db-blankdraft into G13|discussion]]). Such blank drafts are now eligible after six months rather than one year, and taggers continue to use {{tl|db-blankdraft}}.
:* The Wikimedia Foundation [[:meta:Special:Diff/18694065|now requires]] all [[WP:Interface administrators|interface administrators]] to enable [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]].
:* Members of the [[WP:BAG|Bot Approvals Group]] (BAG) are [[Special:PermanentLink/874067212#Should BAG members have an activity requirement?|now subject to an activity requirement]]. After two years without any bot-related activity (e.g. operating a bot, posting on a bot-related talk page), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:*Starting on December 13, the Wikimedia Foundation security team implemented new [[m:Password policy|password policy and requirements]]. Privileged accounts (administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, interface administrators, bots, edit filter managers/helpers, template editors, [[mw:Wikimedia Security Team/Password strengthening 2019#Who this impacts|et al.]]) must have a password <u>at least 10 characters in length</u>. ''All'' accounts must have a password:
::# At least 8 characters in length
::# Not in the 100,000 most popular passwords (defined by the [//github.com/wikimedia/password-blacklist Password Blacklist library])
::# Different from their username
::User accounts not meeting these requirements will be prompted to update their password accordingly. More information is available [[mw:Wikimedia Security Team/Password strengthening 2019|on MediaWiki.org]].
:*Blocked administrators [[phab:T150826|may now]] block the administrator that blocked them. This was done to mitigate the possibility that a compromised administrator account would block all other active administrators, complementing the removal of the ability to unblock oneself outside of self-imposed blocks. A [[Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy#RfC: blocking the admin who blocked you|request for comment]] is currently in progress to determine whether the blocking policy should be updated regarding this change.
:*{{tl|Copyvio-revdel}} now has a link to open the history with the [[WP:RevDel|RevDel]] checkboxes already filled in.

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:* Following the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2018#Results|2018 Arbitration Committee elections]], the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: {{noping|AGK}}, {{noping|Courcelles}}, {{noping|GorillaWarfare}}, {{noping|Joe Roe}}, {{noping|Mkdw}}, {{noping|SilkTork}}.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:* Accounts continue to be compromised on a regular basis. Evidence shows this is entirely due to the accounts having the same password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. '''If you have ever used your current password on ''any'' other website, you should change it immediately.'''
:* Around 22% of admins have enabled [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]], up from 20% in June 2018. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|doing so]]. Regardless of whether you use 2FA, please practice appropriate [[Wikipedia:User account security|account security]] by ensuring your password is [[Password_strength#Guidelines_for_strong_passwords|secure]] and unique to Wikimedia.

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the [[User talk:Ronhjones|bot owner]] if you have any questions, or you can ask them at [[Wikipedia talk:Non-free content]]. See [[User:RonBot]] for info on how to not get these messages. [[User:RonBot|RonBot]] ([[User talk:RonBot|talk]]) 18:05, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

== Liberty Bell ==

Hello [[User:Another Believer|Another Believer]] ! As you know, I'm trying to translate the article of the Portland's bell and I've got few questions / remarks :
*About the fact that the bell is 25-year guarantee against breakage. According to the reference n°2 (Bell cost $8,000), I understand that the guarantee is for the first replica, not the second.
** Good catch! I've [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Liberty_Bell_%28Portland%2C_Oregon%29&type=revision&diff=877579879&oldid=800846195 made this change] to the article's text. ---[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#C60">Talk</span>]])</sub> 15:45, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
*About the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs (reference n°10), I don't find the bell on the list...
** You are correct. I'm not sure why the bell is no longer mentioned, but this map feature is new, so perhaps the website is still being updated? ---[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#C60">Talk</span>]])</sub> 15:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
*I can't access freely to the reference n°5 (Chicago Tribune), can you give me copy or an extract from the article? It could help me more :)
** I'm not sure how I was able to access contents before, but I am not able to do so now. :( ---[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#C60">Talk</span>]])</sub> 15:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
*Do you have any informations about how the decision to buy a Liberty Bell replica in 1962 was made?
** I included as much information as I could find in the article. ---[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#C60">Talk</span>]])</sub> 15:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

[edit]

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
