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. 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.

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!

Non-existent categories[edit]

Information icon Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Category:FC Martinenc players, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change. Thank you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:31, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello:

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I was trying to determine the disposition of the criminal charges against Dattatreya when I discovered he has been dropped as a candidate for the BJP. I added that information to the article. If you can find any information concerning the criminal case it would be good to add it. Every reader will wonder what happened.

You may be interested in my article Princely states of Pakistan, where Ghulam Moinuddin Khanji is mentioned, I have just added a link to him from there. I was glad to see you had it right that in 1947 the states were offered the option of complete independence, which some of them chose. Sadly, many Indians now do not know that there was such an option. Moonraker (talk) 15:02, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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!

Hi Royroydeb. As you recently decided to make large-scale edits to Saadat Ali Khan I; Brill has an entry on Saadat Ali Khan I from the latest version of the Encyclopedia of Islam.[1] I don't have access myself to Brill, but I'm sure our helpful colleagues at WP:REX could help you out in case you decide to use the source.

Your India DYK hooks[edit]

Hello, and thank you for contributing to Did you know. I note that your primary editing interest is on India-related topics, and your DYK nominations have generally been about India. It has been noted in a recent DYK discussion that some of your hooks lack context on the hook's article subject matter, which would make it difficult for non-Indian readers of Wikipedia to appreciate them. In the future, when writing hooks, please try to write hooks that could appeal to a broad audience: that is, try not to write as if you assume readers know what you are talking about. For example, when writing about Indian history, try to explain how the places, persons, or events mentioned in the hook are important. Thank you and happy editing. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:16, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: (I was away for some time so I couldnt reply earlier). Okay, I would keep in mind what you said. Also the ambiguous statements Birjis Qadr article was not added by me.

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). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hello Roy, I've approved Nasir-ud-Daulah for DYK. I'd like to discuss your editing on your talk page. As you know, my DYK review turned up a significant number of issues. You had to remove content 5 times (and you changed several other things), and that is concerning. I know you've read the sources, because I can tell you paraphrase what you've read. But content like "Chowmahalla Palace", "Manjli Begum ki Haveli" and "Jahangir Ali Khan" were added by you [2] with no apparent source, you later removed them when I pointed that out. So it's puzzling. Was it that you read it in some source while writing, but forgot to cite the information? I'm not here to attack you, just want to improve your editing, so I'm providing feedback. starship.paint (talk) 00:22, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
