Wondering about the source of the lead photo of Natasia Demetriou with a cat, I looked at the user's contributions to find that you had blocked them for using the name of a famous person. But looking at the user's other contributions, I see no reason to think that the account does not actually belong to the real Demetriou. Might the account blocking be erroneous? Matt Gies (talk) 22:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Matt Gies I do not view it as a mistake at all. It is entirely possible it was a member of her PR/management team as well. Per the blocking instructions: If you choose to keep your current username, please send an email to info-en@wikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. All she/whoever runs the account has to do is prove it’s her and she would’ve been fine. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 06:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, I hadn't thought to look at the User Talk page! Never mind! Matt Gies (talk) 17:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. 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.

Your GA nomination of Boone Jenner

The article Boone Jenner you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Boone Jenner for comments about the article, and Talk:Boone Jenner/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Bruxton -- Bruxton (talk) 00:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

@Bruxton:, thanks so much for the review. I really liked the template you used and might use it for my next review! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:47, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
My pleasure. I have enjoyed learning about Boone, and I am not well versed in Hockey. I spent much time in DYK promoting articles to preps. I learned so much in that project and now I use much of that knowledge with GANs. They have a template in DYK and eventually I stopped using it. I find it useful to go through the GANs methodically and then check my suggestions against the criteria. I have found that I enjoy working with an editor one on one, making suggestions. I hope to review another of your articles! Bruxton (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Consider revisiting the article to see if "despite" is ok as it is used in the article. I just had occasion to see WP:WTW and despite is called out there. Since I called for the use, I felt I should let you know that I may have been mistaken. Bruxton (talk) 18:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Juuse Saros

The article Juuse Saros you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Juuse Saros and Talk:Juuse Saros/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time

Hello HickoryOughtShirt?4:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
