Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

[edit]

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hey there, I saw that you were a frequent reviewer at Featured Lists. I have two lists that are pending and seem to be going nowhere. I thought Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships was about wrapped up, but it seems to be stuck in limbo. And I nominated European Figure Skating Championships a little while ago and have received only one set of feedback. Perhaps if you have a chance, you could take a look at them and let me know? Thank you so much! Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:54, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98: Can't say I'm too knowledgeable on the topic, but I'll try to see if I can give a review in the next few days . TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:11, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You’ll be more knowledgeable after reading them. 😉 Bgsu98 (Talk) 07:13, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: I left reviews on both nominations, I know it's not much, but I hope they're helpful. I suppose I'm slightly more knowledgeable, I typically just seem to have trouble reviewing articles that aren't entertainment-related. 😅 TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:22, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your input and your votes of support. Public interest in figure skating peaks every four years, and that peak is about one year away, so I want these flagship articles (Worlds, Europeans, U.S., and Canada) at featured status by then. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: Being completely honest, I don't think I ever realized it was such a huge deal outside of the Olympics. Regardless, don't hesitate to drop me a message if you ever need a review on any similar (or even completely different) lists!!! TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I really want to get The Amazing Race 1 to featured status, but that's not a list, and I think featured articles are actually more difficult to get passed. Anyway, Canada is ready to go once these two are processed, with Worlds probably very close. I'm working on U.S., and Estonia may need only a little bit more work. And Germany... God bless their record-keeping; they made sourcing so easy. 😉 Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:02, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: I always tell people there's a reason why I only have one FAC 😅. I'm sure TAR1 could get there eventually. It looks rather decent on a first glance, but there is some room before it'd be at FA standards. I'll try to keep my eyes on the FLC page for those then, I'm usually there at least once every other day. TheDoctorWho (talk) 22:18, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

COLHEAD issues

[edit]
Main page: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Archive 40 § Episode table/part

Hey TDW. Continuing on the above discussion on how {{Episode table/part}} template is apparently an accessibility issue per MOS:COLHEAD, I'm wondering how |ShortSummary= in {{Episode list}} does not cause the same accessibility issue. Does you know anyone with COLHEAD knowledge that would understand this? -- Alex_21 TALK 06:56, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MPGuy2824 and PresN: were the two to first bring it up to me an FLC of mine. If anyone can tell us if it's an issue, it's likely one of them? TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:08, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wonderful, thanks for pinging them. To give context, both the /part template and ShortSummary parameter can be seen at Doctor Who series 14#Episodes. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:30, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So. In a technical, specific sense, that kind of "it's a new row that doesn't correspond to any of the column headers" isn't correct. So, not 100% accessible. That said, however, when you dig into it, "accessibility", even on-wiki, is nowhere near 100%, so there are compromises when it comes to "still very usable by humans even if it doesn't meet the spec". In this case, even though the summary row doesn't correspond with any of the column headers, it isn't really any harder for screen-reader users to understand than it is for sighted-users. So it's not a big deal. So, even FLC, which is much further ahead than the rest of wiki for enforcing this stuff, doesn't try to forbid this kind of thing description field. Pseudo-column headers, despite looking similar, are much worse, because they're not just contextual to the previous row like this case but instead are a context for every row thereafter and there's no programmatic way to carry that context through. Tl;dr you're fine. --PresN 19:23, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy ping @Alex 21: to the above response just in case they're not watching/subscribed. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:56, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I saw it, thanks. Gonna see if I can change the two types of row-spanning columns into the same non-header format. -- Alex_21 TALK 06:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully it works out! It'd definitely be nice to keep something closer to the /part format. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:07, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter

[edit]

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

A barnstar for you!

[edit]
The Writer's Barnstar
Well done for your amazing work on Reservation Dogs episodes and getting them to GA - I enjoyed reviewing them and was very happy I was able to pass them. I have really enjoyed learning about the episodes and their context and it is so important that more stories about indigenous people are told, so please do carry on with your amazing work! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:42, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Thank you for the barnstar, it truly means so much! I'm not indigenous myself, but as an Oklahoman (where the series is filmed), I've found the series to be crucial for the stories it's told. I hope to make more episode articles for the program soon.

User script

[edit]

Hey, @TheDoctorWho! I saw that you recently started a source review but didn't mention the duplicate references in the list. Do you have User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences? If not, you should get it as it spots duplicates very easily. Thanks, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 04:34, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have not used it, but I will definitely take a look at it. Thank you! TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:34, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A Myers-Briggs fan?

[edit]

Hi, TheDoctorWho ... I noticed you identified yourself as an INFJ on your User page, though you had a T out to the right of the J. As someone very much into the MBTI and other similar assessments, as well as a sharer of three of your four letters, I'd be interested to take this forward in conversation, if you're up for it. I identify as INTJ, but my J is just over the middle line and so I often say I'm INTX. I think I understand now why I felt so in tune with your writing as I copy edited it. :) Augnablik (talk) 10:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Augnablik: Apologies for the delayed response, I have been sidetracked with some on- and off-wiki projects. We took Myers-Briggs tests and discussed the results in-detail in a college psychology course of mine. The T at the end stands for "turbulent" and is a further subtype of INFJ that you can read more about here if you're interested! It's interesting how close our personality types are. TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:38, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This Turbulent and Assertive breakdown is fascinating, and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before because the MBTI was one of the assessment tools I studied extensively when I was doing my doctoral work on cognitive and learning styles, and related tools — then continued with that area of interest in the world of education and training for quite a while.
This breakdown must have come later, when I more or less stopped keeping up with the area. All because of running into you, and through you, this, I'll look into it.
Is there a T and A for each letter? Augnablik (talk) 03:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Augnablik: I honestly wasn't sure at first, but a quick search of the website does make it appear so. Here's the further T/A breakdown for INTJ. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:58, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I followed the link you gave me two days ago somewhat further, and even took this company's version of the assessment tool. This time I ended up over on the P side of the dividing line, though only by one point ... so again I think it's fair to claim an X as my fourth letter, all the more because in my earlier assessment, I was a J by only three points.
And like you, I found that I also ended up as a T!
Incidentally, although this new assessment places me in the Logician category, I feel much at home as an Explorer. I don't feel comfortable with the cold feel of being labeled a Logician! And I'm definitely no mathematician or physicist, just someone who seeks truth, accuracy, and clarity above most everything else. Augnablik (talk) 06:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A perfect example of my T, if it hasn't already occurred to you: this quest for clarity about what happened to my edits of your article that Mox Eden picked up on in the Guild of Copy Editors! 😂 Augnablik (talk) 07:18, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of ghost towns in Oklahoma

[edit]

I was going to leave a smart comment about Oklahoma being just one giant ghost town, and then I saw you were from Oklahoma...

All kidding aside, that's a neat article and I will take a closer look when I get home this afternoon! Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:48, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98: The state practically is a ghost town if you don't live in OKC or Tulsa. That's the reason why the tornadoes only ever make cows fly and why Missouri has a warning sign up about us. /j 😂 TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:58, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article looks good! Since you're practically a figure skating expert at this point, I currently have World Figure Skating Championships up for FL review. Fun fact: the World Championships are next week in Boston and I'll be there! Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:50, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: I'll absolutely give it a review, I'll try to get to it sooner rather than later and put myself a placeholder down there. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:23, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate that, especially your rebuttal of that ridiculous Oppose. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:20, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: Yeah, I'm not really sure why that oppose was necessary. The list is likely 75%+ of the article size, and it's understood that background context is necessary. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:10, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Undefined sfn references in List of ghost towns in Oklahoma

[edit]

Hi, in this edit to List of ghost towns in Oklahoma you use {{sfn|Schmidt|1978|pp=104–106}} and {{sfn|Schmidt|1978|pp=51–54}}. Unfortunately there is no work "Schmidt 1978" listed, so nobody can look the references up, and the article is added to Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. If you could supply the missing source it would be appreciated. DuncanHill (talk) 00:57, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Deer Lady

[edit]

On 24 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Deer Lady, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

DoctorWhoFan91

[edit]

I see from the posts at the head of User talk:DoctorWhoFan91 that you have agreed to take on editing certain pages on their behalf. I feel I should point out to you that the next day DoctorWhoFan91 was blocked for 6 months. Please be most careful that you only make edits which you stand behind yourself and do not unintentionally end up PROXYING. I'm not sure I need to tell you this but between me and another Admin the others mentioned have been notified. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 11:28, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For complete transparency (for you or anyone else), I have actually declined to make edits on behalf of DWF91 that they've requested off-wiki. The only thing I've taken on is their Good Topic nom, which I was already contributing to prior to the initial AN thread that kicked off all this drama, and that was of my own interest in seeing this promoted. Time stamps of my involvement in that topic area prior to the ban can be seen in the editing history at WP:WHO/G. Thanks, TheDoctorWho (talk) 17:02, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Much appreciated, thanks. Doug Weller talk 17:06, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrities in Template:Big Brother in the United States

[edit]

Please do not restore the celebrity runners-up to {{Big Brother in the United States}}. Per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2016 August 11#Template:Celebrity Big Brother and Template talk:Big Brother in the United States#Celebrity HouseGuests (which you were a part of the discussion), it was agreed that only winners could be included. --woodensuperman 07:44, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while, I can't remember every discussion that I was a part of 7 years ago. I probably wouldn't have reverted had you pointed to that discussion rather than a vague guideline that doesn't directly address the situation. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention though, I'll try and keep my on it from here on out to make sure no one beyond winners are included for CBB TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:53, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Maybe I'm just impatient, but it seems like there's a backlog at the Featured List project? Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:32, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98: The "Older nominations" section does seem a tad long right to me right now, but I'm not a coord there so I'm not really sure what could be done. The instructions do say "Each nomination will typically last at least twenty days, but may last longer if changes are ongoing or insufficient discussion or analysis has occurred", but there's no maximum length, so it would appear that everything is on the up and up. The most recent archiving was done less than a week ago. TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:16, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WIkiProject Doctor Who: March 2025 Newsletter

[edit]
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume III, Issue I — March 2025
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who
One hell of a newsletter.
Geronimoooo!
Apparently this newsletter the queen of outer space... wait... no, sorry; that's Belinda! Swashbuckle your seatbelts because this newsletter is full of information regarding recent happenings in the Doctor Who WikiProject. You'll also find updates on the upcoming series and elsewhere the expanded Whoniverse.

Series 15

The fifteenth series of Doctor Who is set to begin this Saturday with "The Robot Revolution" on 12 April and will conclude eight weeks later after "The Reality War" airs on 31 May. It will once again be accompanied by a new series of Doctor Who: Unleashed. Draft articles for all eight episodes have already been created, the links to which can be found here. New novelisations adapting the first three episodes of the series are set to be released on 10 July.

Recent Article Regenerations

Since the last Newsletter, we've had a whole heap of quality content added to the Project. The articles Thasmin, "Joy to the World", Vislor Turlough, "Space Babies", "Legend of the Sea Devils", Weeping Angel, Doctor Who series 13, Pyramids of Mars, "The Legend of Ruby Sunday", "The Power of the Doctor", The Twin Dilemma, "The Husbands of River Song", "Demons of the Punjab", Doctor Who Live, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", and Attack of the Cybermen have all been improved to GA-level quality. List of Torchwood episodes and List of Doctor Who episodes (2005-present) have been improved to FL-level quality, while the Doctor Who specials (2022) and Doctor Who series 14 Good Topics have been successfully promoted.
An additional good topic covering the series articles from 2005–present has been nominated and is currently receiving feedback. Though content creation has slowed in recent months, content improvement should hopefully see an increase as series 15 ticks ever closer.

Future Project Goals

The WikiProject will once again be working in collaboration to complete a Good Topic encompassing the series and its related articles. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated. Several editors have planned upcoming work for Doctor Who-related character, episode, and performer articles. More information, as well as where you can find out how to help, can be found it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals.
