| '''Dear Yngvadottir''':<br /> | |||
| Thanks you and your friends for your help in writing the article about well-known scientist and human right activist Alexander Bolonkin. I am very gratefull for this.<br /> | |||
| I have only two small remarks: | |||
| 1) You mentioned that Bolonkin was in Gorky in exile. He was in Siberia in exile (in small village Bagdarin).<br /> | |||
| 2) If it is possible, could you please insert some of his well-known scientific monographies (books) and articles published in famous publishing houses and scientific journals, for example (some of the 250 published scientific articles and books):<br /> | |||

| :{{ping|ABA888}} I'm glad you like the rewrite; I'll have a look at what I can add about his publications. There are two problems. One is that an editor has said he has published with unreliable publishers; some of the above, such as Publish America, look as if they may be publish-on-demand. But I see at least one with a major publisher, Elsevier. The other is that it's obvious that a scientist will have published, so we prefer to list only books and articles that have been reviewed or much cited in peer-reviewed journals. So I will have a look on ] and see whether I can find reviews of his books. If you know of any mentions of them in articles in the press, particularly in Russian, which I don't have the knowledge to search, that would be helpful; we would need the author (if any is listed), article title, newspaper name, and date of publication, but it could be in any language and does not have to be online. However, interviews and articles ''by'' him in the press are not nearly as useful as independent articles that evaluate or otherwise give a long mention to something he wrote. (I've redacted your e-mail address; we don't use those here and listing it may get you a lot of spam.) ] (]) 05:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC) | |||

| :{{ping|Blacknclick}} I'm afraid I don't do GA, FA, or FP at all. (I also don't have the eyesight to judge the quality of digital images, but that's a lesser point.) You would be better off either just nominating it, or asking someone who participates at FA, like {{U|Hafspajen}}, about the nomination process if you're not sure how to. As to getting support for it, I wouldn't worry too much - not many votes are needed at FP, and there are people who watchlist it. But again, someone who participates in the process would knpow better than me. ] (]) 16:01, 11 February 2015 (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 here.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system.

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).
