'''Welcome!'''
== Council ==


Hello, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, and ] to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
Hope you dont mind me replying here as its going a bit off topic from the thread on Scotty's talk. I suspect your council idea would have worked well if it had been implemented early and gained acceptance. But as you say, it would be controversial. With RfA, theres arguably already consensus that its broken, and its increasingly apparent theres a kind of downward spiral. Less & less active admins concentrates power on the existing ones, and they become more and more overworked. This generates extra ill feeling against admins among the opposes, making it harder and harder for RfAs to succeed. So Im expecting in the next few months, or couple of years at the most, well presented proposals for radical change will succeed.

But your idea seems to apply to decision making outside of RfA. AFAIK theres far less of a consensus that the status quo there is untenable. Interestingly though, I seem to recall there were attempts to set up a council roughly similar to your idea back in 2009. But there was such a backlash from the community that the arbitrator most in favour of the change chose to resign. (It was ] if Im remembering correctly. ) So Id guess your idea is a non starter, unless perhaps you time your proposal after a shortcoming with the existing system becomes apparent with a controversial incident, and someone starts a popular thread complaining about that problem at ANI or Village pump. ] (]) 07:33, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
: LOL! I agree with all your points except I dont think its mainly the POV pushers that get hyper paranoid about proposed changes. Often they really are SPAs. Its more those who are sincerely here to build an encyclopedia. I noticed you about our Occupy articles earlier this year, did you attend many of the GAs? At least here in London, the atmosphere was brilliant for the first couple of months, but then various forms of paranoia seemed to take hold. I'd sometimes sit with the facilitators after the meetings, and they'd talk about the hurtful criticism and bitching they'd often receive from fellow occupiers. From what I can tell it seemed motivated by jealously / irrational fear of the very slight extra power the facilitators had. Its probably a similar psychology to why editors have got increasingly hostile to those seeking power as admins, and to any changes that might change the existing power structure. Adam Curtis's ''All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace'' is freely available to watch on google and is excellent if you're interested in this sort of stuff... ] (]) 20:26, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

== ''The Signpost'': 15 August 2023 ==
How strongly are you allowed to favour things as a volunteer? It is quite clear from your comment that you have no problem with the inclusion of the home advantage claim, but do you actually favour it? Please don't take this the wrong way and feel free to not answer if you are not supposed to. I only ask since it seems it may well be the last inclusion/exclusion issue so if we were to achieve an agreement on this I think we would be very close to a compromise. ] (]) 13:59, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><div style="column-count:2;"> {{Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2023-08-15}} </div><!--Volume 19, Issue 16--> <div class="hlist" style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> * ''']''' * ] * ] * ] (]) 14:17, 15 August 2023 (UTC) <!-- Sent via script (]) --></div></div>
It is clear that the version currently in the article will not get consensus. On the other hand the version currently proposed seems close to consensus, as the it seems much of the recent discussion concerns wording. Is it possible to change the interim version in the article (preferably to the current proposal, alternatively the current proposal minus home advantage, or the last "stable" version), while making it clear it is not imposed as the finished version. Bear in mind that the version currently in the article was added because Andromedean thought it had to be there in order to be properly discussed. The version in the article has never been stable without an active discussion. The most stable version after the section was first created was the previous one (excluding your edit), which survived a few days without discussion before Sport and Politics deleted it.<br>I also think that it is possible that the current situation puts the parties to the dispute at different power levels, because it gives one side a potential incentive to stall. I (can't speak for Sport and Politics) feel that it is problematic that a for me completely unacceptable version is in the article, while the arguments are limited to details on wording, or cutting just one bit from an otherwise acceptable version. I would have invoked ] and made the change myself, except that I think that could potentially hurt the consensus building. Please consider this in the right spirit, it is not an attempt to bypass the consensus building. The version in the article has never been supported by consensus, and we have moved past it in the active discussion. It was never going to be the final outcome, and it would really help if I didn't have to have that version in the back of my mind during this discussion. (Perhaps I just shouldn't think about it, but it is, in fact, the version the readers currently see.) Thank you for considering this. ] (]) 00:13, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

:I have now done so and explained my reasons at the DRN and in the edit summary. It was surprisingly positively received, but it has been requested that you should choose the temporary version. ] (]) 08:22, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

::: Whilst I also thank your efforts, this 'resolution' has come as something of a surprise to me since only yesterday I highlighted a fundamental difference of opinion between editors regarding the inclusion of the rules and was being attacked for being uncooperative. Moreover the text has been forced through without expicit consent by one of the authors. Neither have I seen showmwbeef's view on the latest wording which he seemed to be against. If amadscientist has made the decision and has the authority to close the dispute then this makes it closed, but otherwise I'm afraid I must ask this to go to the next step. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 07:31, 18 October 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::::DR/N is not the end of collaboration. However, all editors did indeed express agreement to the section being used over the old text. Wording and other details were and should still be worked out on the tlakpage. Be aware, you yourself agreed to use the prose'':"My preference would be for the version to remain until we have reached a decision."'' and ] actually agreed to the draft version I proposed with exceptions, all that were addressed, even the "home advantage" issue, just that that one had to be something they needed to accept or at the very least understand that it was demonstrated as relevant enough for inclusion. They left a lengthy post and I attempted to adress everything. I did not need to wait for agreement on each version when the discussion showed what their concerns were and the one issue that was indeed included was not enough to keep a resolution back. They had agreed to all of the volunteers proposed text earlier but one. Should you feel inclined to use mediation be sure and remember you did accept this proposal.--] (]) 07:54, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

My goodness....I am now seeing why this dispute has dragged on so long. I would not recommend Mediation. I am not entirely sure you have a true basis for a filing there yet.

::Actually I thought I was clear that the talkpage was best for now and that the BLP noticeboard would be used only if a consensus could not be formed. As it satnds there are two editors telling you that 2012 IS the present and you have yet to explain why an open source encyclopeida would publish "2012 to present" when it is ''the present''.

Hello. There is currently a discussion at ] regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. <!--Template:ANI-notice--> Thank you. <br> I had hoped this would not happen, but the accusations he made before the DRN resurfaced now. I think accusations of bias, having agendas and similar require community attention, because if they are acceptable I have no place in the community. Thought you ought to know, but as I found he behaved much better in the DRN you may not have noticed anything. I am sorry I had to take this step, as I truly believed a consensus on wording would have been achievable. However, I can't discuss with someone who sees disagreement as evidence of bias for the other side. It seems to me he felt this way during the whole DRN, even if he kept it to himself. ] (]) 12:00, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Sorry Amadscientist, I was up way too late yesterday and was a little bit cranky. I was already upset at Writ Keeper's RfA because there is a new trend where editors ask a bunch of questions just to ask them. People like JC37 ask 5 at one time and it becomes overwhelming to a candidate. Questions should only be asked when more information is needed from the candidate. I also feel like people are looking for more and more obscure reasons to oppose and I was under the impression that you were doing the same.&nbsp;]&nbsp;] 15:31, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
*Hmm. I think the question is verbose ("In regards to user conduct issues and the use of the block tool, many admin feel inclined to block and some inclined not to block"--that's obvious) and leading ("why you would consider not blocking as a better choice"), and the conclusion you drew from WK's answer is incorrect. You're putting WK in a terrible spot: he can't say (since it's his RfA) that you're wrong or misleading in your interpretation of his answer, though you clearly are. ] (]) 19:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
*Just a quick note that I don't actually care too much about questions at all on RfA, it's not a criteria I use to judge a candidate. I do watch their comments throughout the RfA in case they don't handle the RfA well, but since it's an open book exam, I don't put much stock in the answers. What I do is review between hundreds and thousands of edits they've made in the months (sometimes years) leading up to the RfA. I get a pretty good idea of the candidate, without caring about what they say in the RfA process. ]<sup>TT</sup>(]) 14:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Along the lines of what Gigs said above, please consider redacting , as though it is ironic in context and could provide useful insight as to the way Writ Keeper reacts to personal attacks in practice, such has no place on an RfA.

== ''The Signpost'': 16 September 2023 ==
On the Article TP Editor Grotekennis puts a lot of emphasis for the need for 'scientific research'. What Jim Wallace (of ACL) has said is backed by 'scientific research' - scientific research quoted within a (Wiki-P&G conforming) citation. (also removed)

:Last week Australia's leading research agency in relation to the matter under discussion - the ''Kirby Institute's Surveillance and Evaluation Program for Public Health at the University of New South Wales'' - released its latest findings. Refer '''HIV cases in Australia is on the rise''' http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/hiv-cases-in-australia-is-on-the-rise/story-e6frg6n6-1226497432701 The head of the Institute, Associate Professor David Wilson, said the real rise in the number of cases, "was of concern". Not only is HIV/Aids a tragedy for the people in involved, there are large society costs also involved. Refer '''HIV research gets $13m boost''' http://www.starobserver.com.au/news/2012/10/22/hiv-research-gets-13m-boost/87469 Jim Wallace's concern is again validated by this scientific research.

:Interestingly the second citation supporting Jim Wallace mentioning the need for 'compassion and objectivity' (also deleted ) http://www.smh.com.au/national/anglican-archbishop-backs-christian-lobbys-gay-views-20120910-25ogi.html went on to say, "It's very hard to get to the facts here because we don't want to talk about it, and in this country censorship is alive and well".


If people can remove P&G conforming material replace it with an opinions such as, "It should be noted . . " and then refuse to remove, or discuss it, this badly undermines the credibility of Misplaced Pages as an encyclopedia.

:::I have requested your advice previously. Thank you for your suggestions. The ] has concluded. However editor Grotekennis, ignores Wiki P&Gs, editor comments, editor consensus, Reliable Source Noticeboard consensus and Dispute Resolution Noticeboard consensus and does what he wants to do. The summary of the finding of the ] presented by ΛΧΣ21 and supported by all the editors who participated is, "''all of the sources that have been added to the article and do not talk about the ACL should be removed and the content it was supposedly supported, removed too''" THE GROTEKENNIS SOURCES currently to PROVIDED FOR THE PARAGRAPH DO NOT TALK ABOUT ACL.. The 'volunteer' (who Grotekennis mentioned as justifying his edits) specifically said, "''the sources need to mention ACL or its affiliates related to the topic being discussed. Wikipedias guidelines on sources are very clear on this point''". THE GROTEKENNIS SOURCES DO NOT MENTION ACL OR ITS AFFILIATES.

== WikiCup 2023 November newsletter ==

The '''WikiCup''' is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Misplaced Pages vastly during the process. After all this hard work, {{flagicon|Delaware}} ] has emerged as the 2023 winner and the '''WikiCup Champion'''. The finalists this year were:-

*{{flagicon|Delaware}} ] with 2582 points
*{{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} ] with 1615 points

*{{flagicon image|Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg|link=Dual monarchy of England and France}} ] with 5 points

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Misplaced Pages has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.

*{{flagicon image|Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg|link=Dual monarchy of England and France}} ] wins the featured article prize, for 7 FAs in total including 3 in round 2.
*{{flagicon image|Cat in console.png}} ] wins the featured list prize, for 5 FLs in total.

The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to ''']''' in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement! <small>(If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from ].)</small> ] and ]. ] (]) 16:51, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. To follow up on ], I am conducting a second survey to learn more about dispute resolution volunteers - their motivations for resolving disputes, the experiences they've had, and their ideas for the future. I would appreciate your thoughts.

== WikiCup 2024 March newsletter ==

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}}, who has 916 points mostly from one FA on ], 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Vami IV}}, who has 790 points from two FAs on ] and ], two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}}, who has 580 points from one FA on ], two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}}, who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|MaranoFan}}, who has 351 points from one FA on ], a nine-article FT on ], and three DYKs
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Skyshifter}}, who has 345 points from one FA on ], one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Vami IV}}, who unfortunately passed away this February.

I was trying to imply that he's already posted a lot of content and that others have not had an opportunity to post and that he's grossly over the limit that is suggested on the page.

Please re-think your ''pleading'' to let him run wild and post reams of content prior to the actual discussion opening. ] (]) 21:31, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|voorts}} with 530 points, mostly from two FAs (] and ]) and three GAs;

* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|SounderBruce}} with 497 points, mostly from a ] about the ] and two GAs;
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Tamzin}} with 410 points, mostly from a FA about the drink ] and three GAs;
* {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Kusma}} with 330 points, mostly from a FA about the English botanist ] and a GA.


Competitors may submit work for the second round until the end of 28 April, and the third round starts 1 May. Remember that only competitors with the top 32 scores will make it through to the third round. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on ]. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from ] to receive more points.
:It is true that we do not need the kitchen sink, but I asked the editor to expalin the case further. They had concerns about the character limit and I told them they could go past the limit if they needed.

:::::::'''''"It was certainly aggressive and adversarial, for sure and I also know you are more than capable of understanding why."''''' - No, actually. Prior to your lengthy comment below, to be blunt, to me your responses appeared to be simply an editor throwing a tantrum because they were reverted. (I look at how you suggest my edit summary doesn't make sense, but then you identify your changing of iterative in the very next sentence. You clearly understood ''something''.)

::I have no problem should that be needed. But there are other options I feel need to be attempted first. Such as discussing the original contribution with the original contributer. There were real reasons to adapt that contribution to remove some redundant wording and I even missed the fact that there is a claim being made that being warned about 3RR requires you not edit the content at all, which is simply not accurate. A warning simply means you are at the limit for reverts but have not crossed the brightline and is not an excuse to use a warning to attempt to stop editing all together. An editor that has reached their revert limit may still make contructive adaptations that do not revert the content but add to it.

I would like to start off with a big thanks for spending time with the dispute. Your efforts are much appreciated. I edit a dark corner of wikipedia, and this is my first time at DRN. I am here because you mentioned that you would be closing the case tomorrow. Please don't close the case early, as I would like to make a few comments and am waiting for a response from Alan. In case there is no reply from them, I'll comment within 12 hrs from now regarding my future course of actions and if I don't, you may please close the case then. Another point I would like to stress is that I would really hate to get this issue escalated to rfc in case there are further disagreements after this case is closed, whereby a lot of editor time would be wasted. I would like to have a solution at DRN and want to get back to my normal wiki activities. Though it may be asking too much from you, I would like to have more specific recommendations from you, i.e. what you feel I and Alan would have to follow with respect to the objections raised and in case of future disagreements similar to what is reported in the case. I am willing to follow your suggestions/voluntary restrictions subject to similar agreements from Alan.Gilfroy.

A few things: the GA review looks a bit sus - for example, every time Amadscientist is insistant on something (e.g. the infobox image), and WonderBoy1998 doesn't want to do it, WeirdWoman123 makes an executive decision and says the article is fine as it is. Also, a glance at the article itself shows something that really isn't ready for GA, which to me suggests some sort of foul play. However, of course this is just speculation. I took the time to analyse the contributions made by both users ( and , and the results have proved very interesting. WeirdWoman123's first edits were at 6:01 on December 30th. Assuming that, at least to begin with, WonderBoy1998 would spend a bit of time going from one persona to another, the times should never cross over. I figure that by the 31st, a better system had been devised to allow the user to hop from one account to the other swiftly, or even to be logged into them simultaneously.

== This week's ] (week 50, 2024) ==
== Welcome to the 2013 WikiCup ==


Hello, Amadscientist, and welcome to the ]! Your submissions' page is ''']'''. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:
*The rules can be found ]. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
*Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started and completed the review in 2013.) We ''will be checking''.
*If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
*Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
*Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked.


{| style="width:100%; padding:2px;" class="TAFI-weekly"
Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on ]. Good luck! ] and ] 13:00, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

==Working out the details at ]==

The ] is nearing it's conclusion, and it's time to hammer out the details over at the ]. There are several details of the project that would do well with wider input and participation, such as the article nomination and selection process, the amount and type of articles displayed, the implementation on the main page and other things. I would like to invite you to comment there if you continue to be interested in TAFI's development. --]]<sub>(])</sub> 02:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

:I was tad shocked by the criticism immediatly following the posting.

=== I value your comments ===
Hi Amadscientist. First I want to thank you for the many long hours you have volunteered for the project. It is through the efforts of volunteers that we have built this wonderful collection of knowledge and you've been an important part of that.


Myself, I read much more than I write. When I do write, it tends to be improving articles rather joining in discussions, mostly because I'm an IP. That's not to say I don't want to join in discussions, it's just that as an IP it often proves unproductive. So I tend to leave that to others. I must say that I have found your comments to be some of the most insightful around the project. Especially your comments at ] and the village pumps. You often say the same things I want to say, but you also contribute even more insight that has helped me understand things better. You have a very good understanding of the project and you see the big picture. You bring light to areas that most people are not thinking about and I find that to be extremely valuable. Misplaced Pages has problems and we, as a community, need to solve these problems and you are one of the very few people who are willing to help in this area. I cannot tell you how incredibly important this is for the health of the project. I believe your efforts to improve Misplaced Pages's operations are possibly the most valuable thing you do here.


{| style="width:100%; padding:2px;" class="TAFI-weekly"
I read you comments to ] and I was glad you posted them and was hoping others would be able to learn from your wisdom. I completely understand why you removed them. As an IP, I understand that all too well. I just wanted to mention that I value your comments and I believe others do as well. I thought you should know that your comments benefit the project and the community in ways you probably didn't realize and they do have a positive effect on many people. So thanks for being a dedicated volunteer and helping in places where you see a need. It's often appreciated without you knowing it. Kind regards. ] (]) 15:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

*Editor Amad. Please return your valued comments @ WER. The conversation doesnt make sense without them. And those of us that agree are left without them. As a struggling artist I recognize the tendancy to only notice and hear my critics and completely ignore the dozens of supporters that are also "speaking". Ignore the critics. You won't be able to please them anyway. ```]<small>]</small> 20:41, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::First let me say thank you to both of you, especially editor 64.40.57.53 (although Buster also hit me pretty much where I live as a struggling artist). I appreciate the kind words and the time you took to write them. The issue I have is that the WER talkpage has become little more than a battle ground these days with editors criticising each other (something I am as guilty of) and I was not prepared to see a request for comment on the editor retention project over what we percieved as issue be immediatly disagreed with. What is the point of discussing the issues on that talkpage, of all places if it is just an another place to argue. I really liked this discussion and question as well as the thread where a new editor was invited to discuss there immediate reactions to their first article. Probably because I related to that editor having created a very similar article myself and experiance the very same issues they did (as well as an editor attempting to change the spelling of theatre to threater with every use on the page). Obviously I am too angry to return at the moment. I use the WER project to find some peace away from arguments and work on the other side of the coin at Misplaced Pages. A side so heavy it is almost always flipped over, only showing the bitter side of the encyclopedia. If you feel my comments are important to the discussion I give both of you permission (whoever sees this first) to return the comments. Link this discussion in the edit summary so that you are not reverted. I need to stay away a bit, calm down and finish my GA review and BLP work before it drags out too long.--] (]) 22:00, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::((Sidebar));''...be immediately disagreed with.'' Like you, I hate it when some nay-sayer gets the first word...before any positive supportive brainstroming and brain-sharing can take place. I see it all the time, all over the place: an idea is presented and before it can be given any water and fertilizer, it gets shot down as foolish or silly or unworkable. And most times the discussion turns into a battle of polarized viewpoints and for the millionth time, the original idea is lost in the shuffle and interested editors wander off to do better things. In RL brainstorming, "That won't work" comments are dis-allowed and rejected as contrary to the flow of ideas. Too bad it doesnt happen here. Enjoy your Peace. ```]<small>]</small> 08:35, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
::::Eventually I will return to WER and the talkpage, but right now I need to get back to content. All that happens is my pie chart starts showing more green than coral. LOL!. I like to keep that even or, better yet...increase the content portion more. I actually enjoy the content creation and need to get back to learning the ropes of Misplaced Pages content contributing.--] (]) 08:43, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:::::I find working on content to be one of the more relaxing things I do on the project. Thanks again for all your comments around the project. I find them beneficial. You have my best wishes and understanding. ] (]) 14:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== 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 ''']'''. 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.

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}}.

Peer review

Hey there! I saw your name under the film section at the PR volunteers page, so here I am. Currently I have a PR open for an article I've contributed a lot on and am eyeing for possible FAC, so I am wondering if you're interested in giving some of your thoughts on it! It's definitely a few steps from being a solid nom, so I'm interested in input before getting to the actual FAC. If you're interested I'd really appreciate hearing from you! Thanks :) GeraldWL 04:18, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

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

  • New York (state) 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors.

Happy Holidays

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. I hope you are still active after all these years. As you well know, the editor retention project was also created years ago and, like you, is considered active. The lights are on and the rent is paid for the foreseeable future. Stop by for a chat. It will be nice to touch base with one of the originals. Start a thread. Nominate a fellow editor to be Editor of the Week. It's still a good idea. ―Buster7 ☎

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February 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 Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes.

Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Misplaced Pages has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition.

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.
