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:

  • New York (state) 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.
  • Christmas Island 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.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
  • Philadelphia GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
  • United Nations 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.
  • United Nations 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!

Response to welcome

Hello, SM8900! Thanks for your warm and information-packed welcome message. However, it's only fair I tell you that I've been contributing regularly on Wikipedia for 15 years or so (mostly on the Help and Reference desks, but also in Article space), and have always chosen not to create an account for both personal and ideological reasons.

Firstly, I prefer to minimise my online 'memberships' and visibility as much as possible. Secondly, I think that any edit on Wikipedia should stand or fall entirely on its own merits, without any reliance on the 'reputation' of its maker. Thirdly, I know that if I did create an account, I would feel compelled (due to a personal psychological quirk, not pressure from Wikipedia) to devote more time than would be good for my RL to a comprehensive study of Wikipedias multifarious policies and procedures, and to Article editing and 'backroom' activities.

Incidentally, I have a dynamic home IP (a change imposed some time ago by my ISP), so to maintain thread continuity I use a 'psudosignature' incorporating my former static home IP. Regards, {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.195.175.103 (talk) 17:07, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

hi there! well, I'm glad to hear that. I think your contributions are highly valuable, however you choose to do it. thanks for your reply!! ---Sm8900 (talk) 🌍 04:17, 19 January 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:

  1. New York (state) 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.
  2. Christmas Island AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
  3. Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
  4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
  5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
  6. United States Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
  7. England 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!

Discussion of "Category:Nazi personnel who resisted the Holocaust"

Hi Sm8900 and thank you for your hard work in putting this category together. I have two suggestions:

  1. That the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany#Better name for "Category:Nazi personnel who resisted the Holocaust"? should really occur at Category talk:Nazi personnel who resisted the Holocaust#Correct title?.
  2. I note that you used two colons to indent your reply, as did the next editor. I once got my wrist slapped for removing one of the two to make following the thread easier. I'll leave it to you to decide whether to do that.

Thanks, also, for your civil engagement!

Can I ask for your help editing and submitting this draft? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Collaboration_with_Russia_During_Russo-Ukranian_War
