Hi

Yesterday, I just arrived at Singapore from Surabaya, Indonesia with my family. In here, I have been seeing a lot of things that I hasn't ever seen before in Indonesia and only seen previously on the Internet. Like I wasn't even prepared for this. It is crazy that I could finally experience my first ever visit outside Indonesia. By the way, it seems that you have been gone inactive recently in last three months. Hope you're doing well with your service! MarioJump83 (talk) 19:40, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to SG MarioJump83 - hope you're enjoying your visit! Fortunately the weather's been cooler than usual these few days thanks to a monsoon surge. It's true my activity levels have fallen off quite a bit, though that's more due to a loss of motivation and not really liking the direction WPTC has been going in the past year or two. Thanks for the well wishes with my fulltime national service - it finally ends next week (2 years very fast one? yeah right) and maybe with that weight off my shoulders I can slowly ease myself back into writing content. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 06:05, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
The recent rain prevented me from a trip to Marina Bay and Merlion this day, thus at the time of this comment I'm on Universal Studios Singapore. But I'm going there (Marina Bay, Merlion) next Sunday tomorrow. MarioJump83 (talk) 07:08, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Well, I did manage to get into Merlion, Bay Gardens, and Marina Bay in 29 January and then Orchard Blvd on 30 January before returning back to Indonesia on 31 January, in case you're trying to search me around. And it appears that you are finally back from the NS. Wishing you luck on the future! MarioJump83 (talk) 11:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  • Germany FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
  • United States TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  • Byzantine Empire Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included Berkelland LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, New England Trainsandotherthings, England Lee Vilenski, Indonesia Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, Washington (state) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and Chicago PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! 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. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews 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.

WP

I will likely be inactive on WP for a while since I have a 6 week college course going on now... a 14 week semester is crammed into 6 weeks. I am also working 30-40 hours a week right now too. NoahTalk 14:22, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

@Hurricane Noah that sounds terrible... no idea how you're expected to cover that much on top of work but please take care of yourself and don't burn out. Hopefully things on WP will be quiet and you won't miss too much (though with the NHem seasons starting up... and just a couple hours ago NHC went and declared an unnamed storm... yeah doubt this year will be "normal"). ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 16:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Tropical cyclone

What are your thoughts on Tropical cyclone? Obviously there is still a lot that needs to be done. NoahTalk 15:22, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

@Hurricane Noah haven't looked too closely but IMO it's really just the preparations and response sections that need the most attention right now since they're still lacking info. Some other surface thoughts: maybe rename Intensity to Life cycle; possibly merge Related cyclone types into Life cycle since it seems somewhat tangential as a standalone section all the way at the bottom; add etymology to Background or maybe Classification and naming. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:36, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
There is a plan mentioned on the talk page. Problem is how few people are willing to help out on this article. Many seem to be afraid to touch it just because it is the main WPTC article. I honestly got burned out on it last year after writing enough where my content added is over 40% of the article. Would you have any interest in helping out with the response subsection? I can work on preps whenever I get the time (I already had started that). NoahTalk 22:49, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
@Hurricane Noah that may take me a while, I'm still slowly working through Category:Unsorted weather articles and I may also end up having to go through all of User:HurricaneParrot/User:Cyclonicationly's articles to check for copyvio and factual errors (just dug up a bunch on Typhoon Mawar (2005)). From what I see the main issue with the response section is having to introduce a more global perspective since it's currently entirely focused on hurricanes, and Tropical cyclone response isn't much better in that regard. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 09:29, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
that's why I cut out the notable TCs section and only focused on mentioning important TCs throughout the prose where it would seem natural. It was too focused on hurricanes and contained way too much material. The main topics I thought about for the response were Civilian Response, Impacted Government response, Other Government responses, and Organizational responses which would make it global in nature for coverage.

I hope you don't mind me reaching out. I am conducting research for a project on Wikipedia. Part of the project is focused on Hurricane Wikipedia. Andrew Hink suggested I reach out to you. I would love the opportunity to chat with you about your contributions and work. I am happy to explain the project more as well. Please let me know what you think!

User:Bambajuana, I presume this is you? (Also pinging User:Hurricanehink to verify.)

WikiCup 2023 November newsletter

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, Delaware BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.

  • Unlimitedlead wins the featured article prize, for 7 FAs in total including 3 in round 2.
  • MyCatIsAChonk wins the featured list prize, for 5 FLs in total.
  • England Lee Vilenski wins the featured topic prize, for a 6-article featured topic in round 4.

The WikiCup has run every year since 2007.

Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors.

WikiCup 2024 February newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, 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.
