| Hi Lee. Congratulations on such an amazing milestone. A couple things though: the articles ] and ] which you submitted for featured content don't count as your authorship isn't high enough. Thankfully for you, you submitted 42 pieces of featured content, and you only needed 40 for this award, so you're still elligible. It will be a long time before you're eligible for the next award, but as per the instructions, next time please submit equal amounts of article in all three categories. Please don't submit 148 pieces of good content and 42 pieces of featured content. If you only have 42 pieces of featured content, then submitting more than 42 pieces of anything else is redundant. | |||

I'm sorry that you were falsely accused of demanding a review before you would give one, it just shows how out of touch some people are. My advice, for what it's worth, just drop the phrase QPQ as that seems to have been the touch point for some people.

The whole discussion is completely muddled and without focus: Ceoil tried to get things back on track and that was sadly and summarily de-railed once again.

Triple Crown
Hi Lee. Congratulations on such an amazing milestone. A couple things though: the articles 1982 World Snooker Championship and 2023 World Snooker Championship which you submitted for featured content don't count as your authorship isn't high enough. Thankfully for you, you submitted 42 pieces of featured content, and you only needed 40 for this award, so you're still elligible. It will be a long time before you're eligible for the next award, but as per the instructions, next time please submit equal amounts of article in all three categories. Please don't submit 148 pieces of good content and 42 pieces of featured content. If you only have 42 pieces of featured content, then submitting more than 42 pieces of anything else is redundant.
There's a problem with a source you use at 1982 World Snooker Championship, 1987 World Snooker Championship and 1983 World Snooker Championship: "Downer, Chris (2019). Crucible Almanac. Bournemouth." The source is flagging an error as there isn't a publisher specified. Please place the publisher field at the source. The publisher may be Chris Downer himself. If there is no publisher, as per Category:CS1 maint: location missing publisher, add the field |publisher=none. Cheers. Damien Linnane (talk) 03:30, 30 December 2024 (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. 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.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Oversight changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
