Artist impression images in exoplanet articles Comment

[edit]

Please place artist impression images (clearly labeled as such) in an appropriate section of the article, not in the planet box. These impressions, regardless of how well intended or their source, tend to get pretty far ahead of not only what is known, but even what it is reasonable to suppose is known, and can this be pretty misleading and un-encyclopedic. Thanks! — Aldaron • T/C 20:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Change to List of cities proper by population

[edit]

Hi, just saw you made a change in a population in the List of cities proper by population without citing a source, and also deleting the old source. If you are going to change the population figure it's very important to cite the source of your new number, ideally from official sources. Thanks!

Rollback granted

[edit]

Hi MartinZ02. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 20:00, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Adminship discussion

[edit]

I've stopped by shortly to try and explain a couple of things, you've been around on Wikipedia for something over a year and based on your edits I gather you have somewhat of a feel for how Wikipedia works. From your edits, I think that you've only commented on a single RfA - the currently active one for RickinBaltimore. It's your vote and subsequent comment that I want to quickly discuss. These; you have not created enough articles and I would say that twenty‐five is enough. I'm guessing that these two comments are based on the expectation that administrators will have a good feel for article writing with conflict resolution experience on tendentious articles - a must in some editors' eyes.

I'll start by pointing out an obvious flaw in your expectation that an admin will create at least 25 articles. It's not a difficult task to create 25 stub-class articles as these require little effort to research, by comparison creating even a single FA article is (or can be) extremely difficult. Using your expectation, a new editor who has created a set of short two sentence articles could meet your prerequisites, yet a veteran who has never created an article but has diligently worked to bring tens of articles to GA, A and FA status, who has had to resolve many disputes by carefully analyzing sources, and who has significant experience in other facets of Wikipedia (for example, vandalism fighting, new pages patrol, and article reviewing) would not meet your expectations. Admins are expected to bring a balance of many skills; article writing and reviewing is one that many find to be a necessity, another is competence in vandal fighting and conflict resolution, a third is a thorough understanding of policy and guidelines, and there are many more. One for me personally is temperament, I've voted twice and opposed twice because I believed the nominated candidates were not suited for the position behaviourally - being either power hungry or having poor decision making skills.

Your vote touched slightly on a skill - article creation - but it strikes as being arbitrary and insufficiently thought out. Answer these questions for yourself; 1. why 25? 2. Are 25 stub-class articles better than 3 or 4 featured articles (or even a single featured article)? 3. What skill has actually been gained by creating an article? consider an article that will receive little or no attention, that won't become the subject of a content dispute, or that doesn't require strong research skills (such as a table of match results). 4. Is this the only thing holding you back from voting support? if so, why? - are the candidate's other skills and work on the encyclopaedia not sufficient.

I've left this message for two reasons; 1. Your still quite young and definitely younger than the average Wikipedian - some things do only come with experience and 2. There is a bit of flak being levied at you that I don't think is entirely correct. Namely You're having a giraffe, aren't you? .... I get the feeling you weren't making a joke, but, had a sincere vote. Your oppose isn't alone in the thinking that Rickin doesn't have enough non-automated article experience. That's not the issue, it's the arbitrary ruling and unwavering rigidity where is falls apart. Article writing experience is one thing that can be gained many different ways; creating articles, expanding articles and having them peer, GA, A and FA reviewed for quality, reviewing articles for those same features, discussion on article talk pages for content dispute resolution, and much much more. To single out article creation neglects everything else that goes into building an encyclopaedia. This is why your vote received a negative response, it showed a fundamental misunderstanding of an article's life cycle. Not to mention that people always receive flak for voting oppose on the grounds of inexperience in article writing which some editors view as being unnecessary for administrative duties.

RfA

[edit]

Hi. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but it might be an idea to wait a while before getting involved in parts of Wikipedia that you may still not fully understand for another year or two. In the meantime, here is something for you to read: Wikipedia:Advice for RfA voters, and although written several years ago this set of criteria for admin candidates has become a work of reference. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Try something easier

[edit]

Hi Martin. I think you might be a little bit out of your depth here on the English Wikipedia. Your participation on the RfA of Godsy, Samtar, Oshwah 2, Ad Orientem, and RickinBaltimore, Your blank edit at Admin Tools, and your comments at ORCP seem to show that you are far too occupied with adminiship matters. Your request for Autopatrolled clearly demonstrates that you do not understand the significance of article creations, and you do not appear to take notice of messages on your talk page. All these things give other editors grounds for concern about your ability to participate objectively in such areas. Please consider concentrating only on adding new content, cleaning up articles, or patrolling for vandalism, and if that is too hard, you can always edit the Swedish Wikipedia. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, Kudpung that blank edit is adding a space between a comma and the next item in the list. A random thing to latch onto, I know, but, not blank. Carry on, Mr rnddude (talk) 09:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever, Mr rnddude, but it adds up to demonstrate an unhealthy apetite for all things admin. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:36, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Kudpung: I'm in no way obsessed with adminship related matters, I requested the Autopatrolled user right because I didn't want to increase the backlog of unreviewed pages whenever I create a redirect, I do take notice of messages on my talk page, and questioning my competence won't make it more likely for me to listen to you. —MartinZ02 (talk) 13:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We do not accord Autopatroller rights to the creators of redirects and stubs. That proves that you don't read the guidelines. And f you are now going to be rude and behave like an arrogant teenager, don't be surprised if I and other users take a less friendly tone when discussing your disruption. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:34, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Kudpung: I can explain why I voted as I did, if that's what you want, but don't assume that I'm on the same level as the average fourteen‐year‐old. If you have a question, feel free to ask. No offence intended. —MartinZ02 (talk) 14:31, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that you need to tell us that you're not on the same level as the average fourteen-year-old only tells me and Kudpung that you are in fact on that level. If you weren't, Kudpung wouldn't have pointed it out. Sure, you're not exactly the average fourteen year old, you're a Wikipedia editor for one thing after all. The maturity aspect, however, is perfectly fine for your age, but, it's not approaching anywhere near either of ours. Kudpung is quite your senior, you are just about 2/3's my age.
Obsessed is a strong word, and I wouldn't use it myself. That said, if you weren't at least interested in it you wouldn't have been reading WP:Administrators/Tools, during which you noted a typo which then prompted you to edit the page. So, the interesting question here would be, what were you doing on that page in the first place? It wasn't receiving it's usual vandal attention that prompts most other users to go there and revert/rollback. More over, what page led you to it? Was it WP:Administrators or WP:Administrators' guide? and then, what were you doing on those pages? reading? Sure you could argue random edit random page, but, that falls through the floor when you consider the page is in Wikipedia space and that you would either have actively searched for it, or, found it while reading related pages. Neither of which supports your case of supposed disinterest. I'm always open to hearing an alternative possibility of course, I just can't think of any others. Again, we're not children, we can clue into these things more readily than you give us credit for. Something you're average fourteen year old is prone to doing eh, Kudpung.
I did note that your presence in article and article talk space far outweight your presence elsewhere, a good thing in many editors opinions. My presence on Wikipedia is far more behind the scenes than most people are comfortable with. Even I get a talking to on occassion about us all being here to build an encyclopadia. Take the lesson learn from it, forget the bitter feeling of being corrected (rightly or wrongly), and move on. It's all you can do, arguing the facts and trying to set the record straight unfortunately only very rarely works. Take Kudpung's advice, keep up the work in article and talk space - specifically astronomy and biological science as those seem to be your main interests - and give yourself time to mature up some more before getting more involved behind the scenes. Trust me, it gets dirty back here. One minute you're trying to sort out an AN/I discussion that has gotten a little heated, next minute there's a sockpuppetry trial and you're the defendant. I kid you not this has literally happened to me. No ill intent was behind it, but, no patience either.
A piece of advice at RfA; Kudpung would probably advise you not to comment at RfA at all for now, it's solid advice. We may be on the cusp of some reforms due to the spate of recent incidents and I'd rather have as few casualties as possible. We're already at 1 (8 day block with possible indef TBAN). Carry on, Mr rnddude (talk) 22:33, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Kudpung: pardon me, but I think this manner of scrutiny of MartinZ02's behavior is wholly inappropriate. In this case, it gets uncomfortably close to a personal attack. Despite your good intentions, it was not unreasonable for MartinZ02 to interpret your previous statements as an attack on his competence. In this case, I would counsel patience. @Mr rnddude: I respect what you're trying to do here, but if you can point to any broken policies or guidelines, then we can start talking about a block. Bringing up the 8 day block of another user(which, incidentally, I agree with) could be interpreted as a veiled threat, even if it's wrapped in sound advice. To my eyes, it doesn't look like this user is being disruptive, and it won't become a case unless it is escalated into one. AlexEng(TALK) 01:53, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
AlexEng could you point me to which policies or guidelines were broken by Luke that are not subject to personal interpretation. My money is on you won't be able to because they don't currently exist. There are, at this moment, no policies or guidelines regarding conduct at WP:RFA. Any action or inaction is the choice and interpretation of the enactor. May I suggest having a read through Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Ad Orientem and note the OP post one the page. Veiled threat may come to mind. Disruption in this case is wholly subjective. I'm also not talking about a block being delivered at all. I only brought up the current situation, the on-edge-edness of those involved, and the precedent that has now been set. To my eyes, Luke did not deserve a block or the threat of indefinite removal from the RfA process. I voted accordingly at the proposal. I think the same in this case. My comments are in the effort of steering Martin well away from such an outcome. There are a few other editors that could easily fall into the same hot water, whom I won't name here out of courtesy, but, I think you may be able to guess at who those people may be by referring to the previous few RfAs. Mr rnddude (talk) 02:18, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)We don't 'threat' anything here, AlexEng - such issues can indeed be escalated and often are, and citing examples is sound pedagogic practice. If MartinZ02 will moderate his participation which is judged to be inappropriate by more than simply the users who have commented here, and loose some of his attitude, not only does he have nothing to fear, but he can be assured of all the help and mentoring we can offer, and I advise him most strongly to read this page in addition to the other help he has been linked to.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:37, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: What is wrong with my attitude? —MartinZ02 (talk) 02:52, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Two experienced editors have told you already (WP:IDHT). You are a Wikipedia editor and you will be accepted by the community based on your comprehension of English, and ability to work collabortively in a friendly and appropriate manner. At the moment you are not exactly inviting the kind of help you could expect and if you are struggling with our English, I can very easily tell you in Swedish.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:00, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Martin, note that there is a discussion about your attitude at the "General Comments" section at K6ka's RFA, where you recently submitted a question that is causing some conflict. Thanks. WikiPancake 🥞 08:52, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. If you don't find my consensus argument convincing, try this sentence from the ArbCom remedies box at the top of the talk page: " All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion)." I have challenged your edit, and you violated the remedies by reinstating it. Be careful. ―Mandruss ☎ 17:23, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mandruss: The absence of John from the quote in item eleven is probably a typo, because there was no discussion about about removing it from the lead sentence in the links that were provided. —MartinZ02 (talk) 17:52, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

GA nomination of Gliese 581 g

[edit]

I'm sorry the GA has become derailed through no fault of your own. I've asked for a second opinion on the image issue, but I can't see anything changing unless new sources miraculously appear. If Aldaron cannot be persuaded, or at least reluctantly tolerates the removal of the image, I'm afraid there will be no choice but to fail the article. You could launch a WP:RFC if we get to that state, but in the meantime it would be a fail as unstable. You would have to resubmit it later for a second review.

March 2017 WikiCup newsletter

[edit]

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
  • European Union Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
  • Japan 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
  • South Australia Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 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 equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

China

[edit]

MartinZ, I thought it necessary to revert your edit that removed categories from this article, and gave a reason: the categories are not subcategories of Category:China. The next step in BRD is for you to discuss on the China talk page, not to revert my reversion. Perhaps we can solve this quickly by a discussion here. What is your interpretation of this:

Articles with an eponymous category may be categorized in the broader categories that would be present if there were no eponymous category (e.g. the article France appears in both Category:France and Category:Western Europe, even though the latter category is the parent of the former category). Editors should decide by consensus which solution makes most sense for a category tree.?

I think it is particularly important to follow this guideline since this is the case with almost every other country I have checked—true for India, Russia, Brazil, the United States, and the United Kingdom, though not for Sweden. You can find further information here. How do you think a discussion will go at Talk:China? Follow the practice at other countries? Or not?

By the way, I think the hidden comment at the top of the category list at China may refer to

9.Use a space as the sort key for a key article for the category. (Note: If the key article should not be a member, simply edit the category text itself to add it, perhaps using {{Cat main}}.)

since the space forces the category eponymous category to the top of the list.

If our interpretations differ, we take it to Talk:China. — Neonorange (Phil) 20:30, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What's going on with these citation errors on Gliese 581g (This revision)

[edit]

Don't mean to be bashing on you too hard as I've mentioned this on WP:AST already, but seriously, what's going on with these citation errors on GJ 581g? 3, 5-10, 12-13, and 17 have script errors. These are defined as "Smith 2010", "Centre de données astronomiques de Strasbourg 2008", "Lopez‐Morales 2006", "General Catalogue of Variable Stars Query results 2009", "Sternberg Astronomical Institute 2009", "von Braun 2011", "Bonfils 2005", "Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia 2010" (That one is working indeed), "Bean 2006", "Selsis 2007", and "Sanders 2010". Some citations such as "Bonfils 2011" simply have script errors (at least that's what it looks like to me), but others like "Bean 2006" I cannot find defined anywhere in the markup code. So.... Should we just remove these undefined citations or are we going to hunt them down and cite them? Davidbuddy9Talk 05:07, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
  • Japan 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
  • South Australia Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
  • Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to 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 10 days of "earning" 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 equally.

WikiCup 2017 July newsletter

[edit]

The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.

Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4.

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter

[edit]

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

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. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. 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 reduce the review backlogs!

WikiCup 2018

[edit]

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter

[edit]

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:

  • United States Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
  • Germany FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
  • India Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
  • United States Ceranthor, India Numerounovedant, Minnesota Carbrera, Netherlands Farang Rak Tham and Romania Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 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.

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
  • Republic of Texas Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
  • India Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
  • Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
  • United States Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
  • San Francisco Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
  • South Carolina Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. 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. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

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. Good luck!

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter

[edit]

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • South Carolina Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
  • Scotland Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
  • Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. 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; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

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).

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:

  • South Carolina Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
  • Hel, Poland Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
  • Scotland Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
  • Other contestants who qualified for the final round were Marshall Islands Nova Crystallis, Republic of Texas Iazyges, Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack and United States Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to 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.

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter

[edit]

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • United States L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
  • Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
  • Denmark MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
  • United States Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
  • Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
  • Ohio Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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.

WikiCup 2019 May newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on.
  • Wales Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs.
  • Adam Cuerden (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations.
  • Kingdom of Prussia Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.

Other notable performances were put in by Chicago Barkeep49 with six GAs, United States Ceranthor, England Lee Vilenski, and Saskatchewan Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and Denmark MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.

So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs 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. Good luck!

WikiCup 2019 July newsletter

[edit]

The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • Norfolk Island Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with 500 points derived mainly from a featured article and two GAs on natural history topics
  • South Carolina Adam Cuerden, with 480 points, a tally built on 16 featured pictures, the result of meticulous restoration work
  • Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, a finalist in the last two years, with 306 points from a variety of submissions, mostly related to sport or the State of Washington
  • United States Usernameunique, with 305 points derived from a featured article and two GAs on archaeology and related topics

Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 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, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! 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).

WikiCup 2019 September newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 5, 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. 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 (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

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!

Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today and all article creators, expanders and improvers are welcome to take part. 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.

Any questions on the rules or on anything else connected to the Cup should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. Good luck!

WikiCup 2020 March newsletter

[edit]

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points.
  • England Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare.
  • United States Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
  • Somerset Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
  • Pirate flag CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status.
  • The top ten contestants at the end of Round 1 all scored over 200 points; they also included United States L293D, Venezuela Kingsif, Antarctica Enwebb, England Lee Vilenski and Nepal CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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.

WikiCup newsletter correction

[edit]

There was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter; United States L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead, United States Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews.

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
  • England Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
  • Botswana The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
  • Somerset Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
  • England Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Gondor Hog Farm with 801, Venezuela Kingsif with 719, Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce with 710, United States Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and Mexico MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim 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).

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

[edit]

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
  • Botswana The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
  • England Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, Denmark MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 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).

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • Free Hong Kong Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
  • IndonesiaHaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
  • England Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to 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. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

[edit]

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is England Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by England Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. Botswana The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with New York (state) Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.

The other finalists were Gondor Hog Farm (submissions), Indonesia HaEr48 (submissions), Somerset Harrias (submissions) and Free Hong Kong Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. 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 in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
