Question from Sandeep Dhawa (05:06, 2 April 2025)

Hi, how can I start Wikipedia Editing journey ? --Sandeep Dhawa (talk) 05:06, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

@Sandeep Dhawa WP:Welcome is a good place to start, but since your only edit has been this question, you should start by coming back to Wikipedia. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 01:51, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from Chorchapu (00:44, 4 April 2025)

I've been trying to add coordinates to the article Battle of Albulena, but it didn't work. I read the template documentation, and decided that CoordDM would be better for this. I tried, and it didn't work, so I removed it from the mainspace article and fiddled with it in my userpage. I have no idea what the error messages are talking about or what I'm doing wrong, but something doesn't work. Could you have a look at my recent coords-related contributions and see what on earth I'm doing wrong? --User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 00:44, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Charlien.Weaver (20:06, 4 April 2025)

how do I create a citation to back up my Wiki edit? --Charlien.Weaver (talk) 20:06, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

To create a citation, click the "cite" button in the top bar while editing, and then copy and paste the website into the text box under the "Automatic" section. Then, you click "Create" and, if everything looks good, click "Insert" and you have your citation. User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 17:15, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Prakashkumarasamy95 (15:59, 6 April 2025)

how to create wiki page for me --Prakashkumarasamy95 (talk) 15:59, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Which page are you interesting in writing? You can find some information here, although keep in mind that if you are connected to the subject of an article, you shouldn't write about it. User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 17:26, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
