| 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 ''']'''. If you have not yet signed up, you can ''']''' 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 ]. | |||

| For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented ] to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive ] 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. | |||
| === Question from ] === | |||
| The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: {{User4|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User4|Epicgenius}}, {{User4|Frostly}}, {{User4|Guerillero}} and {{User4|Lee Vilenski}}.

| Hey Fieryninja, I appreciate your help! | |||
| I'm having a lot of difficulty with the page for Sarah Jama. I'll send you a link to the version I created, which has been repeatedly sabotaged: | |||
| https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Sarah_Jama&oldid=1254559532 | |||
| Some of my formatting isn't perfect, especially around dates for citations and so forth. But I think you'll agree that my content is objective, impartial, and well-substantiated. | |||
| I see that https://en.wikipedia.org/User:El_C locked the page and requires that extended confirmed users alone are allowed to make edits. While I applaud the protection, the problem is that the version implemented contains multiple very serious omissions, most notably MPP Sarah Jama's legislative work, which you'll see in my version, but not the page's current version. | |||

| :{{u|PatHamilton47}}, while I am not Fieryninja, I will try to help. Unfortunately, I cannot agree that the content you added was objective, impartial, or well-substantiated. To start with, any information you add in the ] should summarise material ''already included'' in the body.{{pb}}Secondly, all information should be sourced to a ]; a is not that.{{pb}}Thirdly, even considering the unreliable nature of the source, you are taking significant liberties with what they say, and presenting them in a way that ''cannot in any way'' be described as objective or impartial. Please remind yourself of the central importance and the guidelines of ].{{pb}}If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. ] (]) 11:20, 2 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thank you for this information, ] - I'm new to Misplaced Pages so this is quite illuminating. | |||
| ::-Regarding the lead section, I didn't realize this part at all, I can see why my proposition was rejected. | |||
| ::-Regarding the motions, I absolutely cannot agree. The source is the Ontario Legislature central database, stating precisely what was proposed by the MPP in question. How does this not qualify as a reliable independent secondary source? It is not from MPP Jama's website, or even a news source, both of which could take significant liberties with their presentation of the motion. The OLA website presents *verbatim* exactly what was written. | |||
| ::-As for the third point, this is completely valid - I'll concede I was not appropriately adhering to Misplaced Pages's neutral POV policy. | |||
| ::If I polish up my phrasing to adhere to the above policies, would you be willing to help me edit Jama's page? I'd really appreciate it, and I'm trying my best to learn Wiki's policies in good faith. | |||
| ::Thanks for your help regardless. ] (]) 15:39, 2 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::{{u|PatHamilton47}}, a database which "presents *verbatim* exactly what was written" is not good enough. MPPs are presumably free to write their proposals in whichever way they feel are most persuasive, no? Thus motion 106, for example, says that working with the selected representatives would "ensure access to adaptable housing for people with disabilities" and "benefit all Ontarians"—we cannot take that statement at face value and state it in Misplaced Pages's voice.{{pb}}Even if the motion is completely correct, there is also the problem of ]—if such a fact was not described in independent ], how much ] do you give it in the article? Editors would have to make their own decision, which would be ].{{pb}}Of course, feel free to run any drafts by me. ] (]) 19:11, 3 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Hi AJ, regarding your ] this merge discussion: in my experience, merge discussions often sit for a while without further discussion, since there's no relist option and merge discussions don't get as much participation as RMs, AfDs, etc. and there aren't very many regular closers who timely close merge discussions without requesting a close at CR, which as you know can take a while.

| Hi AirshipJungleman29 | |||
| Here is the latest one I came up with, see if you have objections: | |||
| Happy new year to you and I hope you're well. | |||
| {{Quote|text=Buniyatov writes that the descendants of Khwarazmians call themselves Turkmens and they reside in the Musul and Kirkuk, the North of Iraq. Buniyatov further mentions that the descendants of Khwarazmians that call themselves Turkmens are referred to as Khurzumlular in Anatolia and there are 8 villages in Manisa, Turkey where Khurzumlular live as society. The official website of the Gölhisar District Governorship also talk of the local Turkmens being descendants of the Khwarazmshahs that arrived at Anadolu with Jalal al-Din Mangburni. Abdirimov similarly states that "During the conquest of Čengīz Khan, the Turkmens who came to Anatolia under the name of Khwarazmians were called nomads (yoruk)" who are often referred to as 'Yörük Turcoman' or 'Turkmens' by historians and ethnologists.}} | |||
| Just a curiosity I noticed just now - when you were building Prep 6 recently, you added a new hook to the set and simultaneously removed the DYKmake for the GlucoBoy hook, which you'd just added a few minutes previously - . Was this intentional, and if not, do you know why it happened? Also pinging {{u|Theleekycauldron}} as the author (I think) of the PSHAW tool, in case there's some light to be shed from that angle.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!
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 Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page has). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123, my story today 300 years after the first performance, is up for GAN. Dada Masilo will be my story tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

History of Christianity
Look! Look, I got it under 11,000 words - barely - but still! I am learning from you. I will leave it alone now so you can copy and do your thing. You are almost done. I know you will be relieved when it's over, but I only get more and more impressed with you. I wish I could do something for you. It seems so inadequate to just keep saying thank you. Jenhawk777 (talk) 23:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- So, are you taking a short break, or have you decided you're done? If you are not done, the High and Late Middle Ages still need your magic touch. If you have hit the wall, then I thank you again for all you have done. It has made a huge difference and taught me a lot. Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Most definitely not done, but taking a WP break for a couple of days. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:11, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Déjà vu
Hi again and Happy New Year! If you have a few moments, would you be able to cast your eyes over Draft:Siege_of_Bamyan_(1221) for me since I'm getting déjà vu... I'm hoping to help them, but I'm not sure how since the last attempt was basically abandoned. Blue Sonnet (talk) 04:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Blue-Sonnet, I think Snowycats decline rationale is as good as you can get, and they responded to it with this comment. Bluntness is probably the best way forward. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yup, I saw that too - it's looking like they're more interested in the "achievement" of writing a brand new article instead of making existing ones better. There are only two references, the second is a "juvenile literature" book that's incredibly blurry & used as a citation that Ghengis's grandson died...
- Welp, that's a good start for my 2025 AGF-ometer 😅 Blue Sonnet (talk) 15:32, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene
Hi AirshipJungleman, I came across that article and saw the clear promotional/ SPA issue. Since you dealt with it last month, I wondered what the next best step would be to stop it. The article talk page, COIN or RfPP? Nobody (talk) 10:04, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi 1AmNobody24, I've reported the accounts to SPI; if that doesn't deal with it, COIN or BLPN might be the best shout. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:50, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Melisende DYK
Hi, AirshipJungleman. I have a most unordinary request 😅 I see that you have already promoted the Queen Melisende hook to Preparation area 7, but the chosen hook seems like the blandest of the approved five. I think the greatest DYK effect would be achieved with ALT1: ... that Queen Melisende (pictured) was so incensed by the rumours of her alleged infidelity that neither the king nor his friends felt safe in her presence? --Surtsicna (talk) 21:58, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Surtsicna, that's perfectly fine, I've changed it. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:01, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
2025 Update from Women in Green
.jpg)
Hello AirshipJungleman29:
2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!
For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!
This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Progress on rewrite of Persian Wars GAs
Hi AJ, a belated happy new year! I thought I should inform you about my progress on rewriting the Persian Wars GAs. I believe I've concluded the rewrite of the Battle of Mycale. Please let me know if you have any comments on this article. I think I should be done with the remaining big 3: Artemisium, Salamis and Thermopylae; in that order, in 3-4 months, perhaps sooner. After that, I will start work on the other battles of the Wars; Thasos, Naxos, Eretria, Eurymedon, Lade and Marathon; in that order.

Happy new year to you and I hope you're well.
Just a curiosity I noticed just now - when you were building Prep 6 recently, you added a new hook to the set and simultaneously removed the DYKmake for the GlucoBoy hook, which you'd just added a few minutes previously - .

- In this case, it was because the article title in the hook and credit didn't match; i've reconfigured PSHAW to stick lost credits to the end instead of removing them. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 22:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
