WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and 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 and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. 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 keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Holiday Greetings

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Always a pleasure to see your work. ―Buster7 ☎

Your block of 2600:1008::/32 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial))

I think your block of the /32 is too wide, especially with TPA revoked. There are many, many edits (and I assume account creations) that are unrelated to your target. Previous rangeblocks of a sample IP within the range includes blocks up to hours at a time, not months. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 23:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You think? I don't know the technical stuff, but I do know User:TonyBallioni/Just block the /64. Daniel Case made a six month partial block, I extended it to all pages based on some bad edits. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do. You can see the colour coding in mw:Help:Range blocks/IPv6; /32 ranges are around the zone where the addresses are leased to ISPs and then used for entire regions. With your permission, I'd like to remove the block entirely, and if the vandalism returns then block it for a shorter length. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 14:09, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After that behavior, I don't want to unblock the IPv6 entirely. How about I shorten it to a week? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:27, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HJ

Hi, Muboshgu. I saw you reverted my additions to the article as UNDUE (which I mostly agree with). I've appreciated our prior interactions and wanted to get a bit of advice here. The content I added was copied from the 2023–24 U.S. House legislative coalition. I left it mostly intact because I was under the impression that's necessary if I'm copying content from another article to leave it for attribution and cut it down? Seems like that may be the wrong approach and I should approach it in a more piecemeal manner? Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 13:47, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Piecemeal is better rather than such a large amount of text. I question if any of that is relevant for the biography. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:59, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will take it piece by piece. Busy during the week with my actual job but should have time over the weekend. I think if it becomes too UNDUE, a page about his leadership might eventually make sense but only after the text is reworked to be about him (so it doesn't duplicate the other article about the session). Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 00:23, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PROD

Hi there. You declined my PROD based on your misinterpretation of what I meant by saying only Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida is commonly described as an assassination attempt, so it only seems fair for it to be reconsidered based on what I actually intended. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 18:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neveselbert, incorrect. I don't have to give a reason for removing a PROD, but if you go to AfD, I will vote to keep as there is WP:NOPRIMARY topic. Keep in mind that per WP:PROD, it may only be placed on a page a single time regardless of why it is removed. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:59, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no primary topic, then why does Attempted assassination of Donald Trump redirect to Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida? The reason you gave was based on your own misunderstanding of the PROD. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:01, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not know it redirected there. It would make more sense for that redirect to be the location of the disambiguation page. Again, there is no primary topic for a Trump assassination attempt, as it could be Pennsylvania or Florida. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:05, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In which case, can you move Attempted assassination of Donald Trump (disambiguation) over to the base name, please? ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:40, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that was discussed at User_talk:SilverLocust#Attempted_assassination_of_Donald_Trump_(disambiguation). It would probably be best to check in with the closers. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:50, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Death hoaxer strikes again

Hi, Muboshgu. After checking out 2804:14D:AE90:814A:BC14:E0F6:E8CA:F612's contributions, I was kind of surprised that you only gave them 60 hours off. Isn't every single edit extremely disruptive, and of BLP's, no less? Is it that they have access to so many IPs that a long block would be pretty pointless, or something like that? Bishonen | tålk 19:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Bishonen, it was just two weeks ago that I made a IPv6 range block that was called out for being too long (#Your block of 2600:1008::/32 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial))). I was told there could be too much collateral damage, and also yes, they may be using a proxy so they'll likely come back on a different IP. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Surely there won't be any collateral damage on a /64 — it's much different from a /32, which DatGuy was complaining about. But I understand the proxy argument. I'm sure you're right. Bishonen | tålk 20:18, 10 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Bishonen, honestly, I didn't realize there was a difference in these situations until you just pointed out that one is a /64 and one is a /32. And not bein a technical person, I don't know the difference myself. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:32, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I noticed you mentioned User:TonyBallioni/Just block the /64 when talking with DatGuy. That essay explains why we should block the /64 (as indeed you did) whenever we're inclined to block an IPv6 at all. A /64 is in general one person — the exceptions are unimportant. Whereas a /32 is likely to be a whole region, as DatGuy says. My own IPv6 rangeblock competence begins and ends with /64s. I leave bigger ranges (=all other IPv6 ranges) to people who truly understand ranges. But you and I can get quite far with the principle "Just block the /64", while keeping in mind that it's one person. So, possibly, in this case, more than 60 hours wouldn't hurt? Bishonen | tålk 21:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]
