They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings.

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the 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:
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.
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.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.- 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Dabfix
Continuing conversation from Talk:Chip (name)#Given name list oddly ends alphabetically at J.
- I've cleaned up plenty of pages using searchbar too, but it was so much easier with Dabfix. User:Dispenser has the source code for dabfix.py at their site, so you can see what it all entails. It is a pretty handy tool that would probably be an undertaking to come close to duplicating the behavior. It uses regex searches to find likely candidates, employs logic to remove unlikely candidates, and suggests short descriptions for the items. It suggests frequently linked redlinks and determines if they have a wikidata item that it may be appropriate to link to. It shows if related dab pages don't have a related page ending in "(disambiguation)" for linking to. It also formats the pages to conform to WP:MOSDAB, adding templates like {{dab}} and {{wikt}}. I'm probably missing some other features, as it has not worked for me recently; I think that something is wrong with its connection to Wiktionary. —Ost (talk) 02:57, 27 March 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:
- 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.
- AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
- Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
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!

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, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and 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.

|
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
- Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
- Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.
Technical news
- The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out.

Miscellaneous
- An administrator's account was recently compromised.

Miscellaneous
- Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add
/64to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.
In 2011–12 you split {{Miss America titleholders}} into small navboxes like {{MissAmericas 2000–2019}}.[1] Groups of two decades does look a bit odd to me together in one template but I think groups of one decade works well. I made {{Miss America titleholders/sandbox}} similar to {{Miss France titleholders}} and suggest to use that in articles instead of the small navboxes. We have many much larger navboxes. Thoughts? PrimeHunter (talk) 17:21, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
- User:PrimeHunter, I am pretty sure that I was following some other template as a model, but I don't remember now. Do you think each individual should have a unified template including all other titleholders or just those in the nearby years. I am not that active in this area, but if the current trend is for a single unified template make the necessary edits to the current template and then delete the separate ones.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:03, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- I think everybody should display the full list of winners. That's the norm for navboxes with winners of something. We can just redirect the small templates to {{Miss America titleholders}} so the articles don't have to be edited. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:30, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Carla Vernón
Having looked into the coverage I do believe that this subject is notable and I'm willing to create the page myself. It would probably be best if once created you refrained from editing the page itself and instead propose changes on the talk page per WP:COI. I'l spend the next 20 minutes on it and see if I can throw together a starter article. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:06, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- Apologies, I did not realize that you had already created Draft:Carla Vernón until I went to create Carla Vernón and a little box popped up. I will contribute there instead. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:11, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- User:Horse Eye's Back, I am happy to step aside into a supporting (via talk page role). Would you be able to move it to main space without AFC endorsement?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know, I've never been in this situation before... I don't know if duplicating an AFC is kosher or if once the process is started it has to be finished. I also don't believe that I can accept the creation, my understanding is that some specific endorsement is needed for that. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:23, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Horse Eye's Back: There's nothing special about the draftspace that would prevent you from improving or editing on that article. If TonyTheTiger wanted to step aside from adding to the AFC and you were to add/modify content before submission, I don't see any issues here. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:40, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
- That's not the question, the question is whether I can create the article in mainspace while there is an active draft. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:05, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- User:Horse Eye's Back, As has been pointed out at WP:COI, Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. My sister's PR firm is aware of this topic and has advised that she not attempt to have a WP biography on the main page the day that she takes office so as to avoid possible real, digital, trumped up or imagined skeletons or other possibly uncomfortable issues. So there is no rush.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:13, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- If your opinion has changed because the opinion of your sister's PR people has changed that's a problem. You really don't see how you're pointing a gun at your own head and pulling the trigger despite the whole community yelling "don't do it!" do you? This is going to end with you banned from either BLPs or wikipedia as a whole. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:09, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
