 | I absolutely despise talkpage templates. Please don't use them here. If you do use one, by all the gods, sign it so it archives and put it in its own section! |
| I prefer to keep both sides of my discussions together. If you leave me a message here, I will reply here. But if I left a note on your talk page, feel free to reply there or here, as I'm watching your page for a bit. |

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
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)

Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates
You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA
. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:
First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.
Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
The expert
They self-report expertise at many things. Proof meet pudding. Is this actually a NOTHERE situation, even though they've been contributing as long as you and I have? BusterD (talk) 12:22, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- I am so exasperated that I don't think I trust myself to judge whether they are NOTHERE or not. I'm scared to look at their other contributions, I suspect it's all over some of the minor nobles articles. Ealdgyth (talk) 13:06, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's worse, but way outside your normal wheelhouse (clear COI editing on New Zealand exercise mogul stuff). Look at the user's deleted edits to take it all in at a glance. For a while I was researching how many admins have told the user to sign their talk page edits. It's a rather long and distinguished group, including yourself. The editing behavior is very much what you've been experiencing. Keep yourself (and your animals) warm and dry. We are having sunshine for the moment, but I only live a couple of hours south of you in Chicagoland. The snow was coming at us sideways while I was out with my pooches this morning. BusterD (talk) 19:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- We block people for refusing to sign on talk, right? I'm sure I've seen that done at one point. BusterD (talk) 19:16, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

- The latest replies are ... not replies to anything that has been pointed out. I just wanna beat my head on my desk. We block for not engaging at all on talk - not sure if we block without ANI for replying on talk but not to the questions asked/concerns raised...
- Yeah, we are getting big flakes coming down ... sideways ... up here. I'm set - trough heaters double checked, troughs full, hay at full for all animals, wood pile is stocked up, I have food and stuff so I can sit inside and watch the cold outside. (Animals all have shelter and the older ponies have turnout blankets too...the goats are trying to tunnel through their round bale but their fat bellies are making issues....) Ealdgyth (talk) 19:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- I know you both have done your best to reach that certain individual. But, their latest rant on the Talk:Urse d'Abetot is clearly them talking to themselves and blatantly ignoring anything that is said. When they do respond it is something like, "there is no such thing as outdated".
- Then they post a source from 1884.
- No idea what this means.
- No idea what this means, either. Also, in genealogy we use records to support our research.
- I believe the statement(s) above is proof they have not read anything that Ealdgyth, BusterD, AgricolaeTwice!, Theroadislong 1AmNobody24, Diannaa(copying & pasting), and myself have repeatedly told them on their talk page and article talk pages. This isn't about genealogy and Pipera doesn't get that. This is about using sources that Misplaced Pages deems reliable to write this encyclopedia. --Paramandyr (talk) 22:06, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't really know what to do - I just do not have the energy to deal with taking them to ANI by myself and it's not getting any better either. Ealdgyth (talk) 00:36, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- If they don't respond on the Saer de Quincy talk page, I will be taking them to WP:ANI --Paramandyr (talk) 00:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Envy
Snow envy! I love snow, and in Cincinnati I never get enough of it! My perfect winter: 1/4" every day to make everything pretty again but not cause major hassles if I want to go somewhere. But the occasional major snowfall is also welcome!Valereee (talk) 16:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- It was a gorgeous snowfall - about 5 inches. Just enough to cover everything but not enough to actually force me to plow the driveway. And hubby is coming home this weekend until after the first so HE can deal with plowing if he wants it done. Ealdgyth (talk) 00:37, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

FYI
I mentioned you at a 3RR report. Just so it doesn't come as a surprise.
Have you went out and made a snowman? No snow down here, but I don't mind. People in Lawrence can't drive in good weather. --Paramandyr (talk) 00:04, 21 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).

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!
