WikiCup 2022 September newsletter

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)

Hi, I'm happy to help Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:58, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hi so i had made a page as a part of ai wiki experimentation but it got deleted so how would i have it be published properly Cadeturner11 (talk) 19:00, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Large language models which says Wikipedia is not a testing ground. Using LLMs to write one's talk page comments or edit summaries, in a non-transparent way, is strongly discouraged. LLMs used to generate or modify text should be mentioned in the edit summary, even if their terms of service do not require it. Please don't use Wikipedia as a place to 'mess around' and experiment with AI. Promotional text will be deleted even if it's made by ChatGPT.

oh ok i understand. thank you though! Cadeturner11 (talk) 19:02, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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!

Article review request

Hello, Could you please review this article? The season is still ongoing, and it would be best for readers to access it now. 51.175.244.58 (talk) 15:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you serious? What exactly are you trying to achieve with this provocative behavior? The articles fully meet the notability criteria. 51.175.244.58 (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is literally just two lines of prose in each 'article'. You have asked me to review the article and I am giving my honest feedback. There is no prose summary of the season, which I would expect as a bare minimum. I have also declined many articles as they are just sourced to the club website, as well as containing the same two lines of prose at the top and nothing else. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:11, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is still in its early stages and being worked on. Anyone is welcome to contribute. The articles you mentioned were improved over time to reach that level. 51.175.244.58 (talk) 18:16, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, please add a bit of prose to the article and at least 2 independent sources and notify me again and I'll accept them. If the article still requires a lot of work, then it's unlikely to pass review. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for setting up the Afd, I meant to get round to that but kinda forgot about it! xD RossEvans19 (talk) 14:18, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RossEvans19 no worries at all! I did my own search and couldn't find anything either. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:07, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
