WikiCup 2021 May newsletter

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

  •   The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
  •   Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
  •   Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  •   Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
  •   Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
  •   Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
  •   Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
  •   Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia 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 yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

2020 World Snooker Championship scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for May 3, 2021. Please check that the article needs no amendments. A coordinator will draft a blurb - which will be based on your draft if the TFA came via TFA requests, or for Featured Articles promoted recently from an existing blurb on the FAC talk page. Feel free to comment on this. We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Gog the Mild (talk) 14:37, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, "about the most famous snooker match of all time. Picture it, it's 1985, Steve Davis has won three world championships and has pretty much won everything else. He's in the final of the 1985 World Snooker Championship, and plays Northern Ireland's Dennis Taylor. Should be a good match? Davis wins the first of four sessions without losing a single frame, and then leads 8-0. It's the first to 18. He misses a green ball, and Taylor goes on a rampage, gets the score back to 13-11 after the third session, but then trails 17-15. Game over? No. Taylor wins the next two and it's a deciding frame. There are 46 legal pots on the table, but it comes down to the very last one. It's all on the final black ball. Both men have a go, and Davis is left with an easy-ish pot. The whole country groans. He misses, and Taylor pots to win his only world championship. 18.5 million people look at their watches, it's 1a.m and you've got work in the morning."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda Arendt. It's about the pinnacle of the game, not many matches are going to be more well known than this one. I'm glad I finally got this one up to snuff. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 07:53, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
... and today for 2020 World Snooker Championship, "about the 2020 edition of the World Snooker Championship - an event disrupted twice by the COVID-19 pandemic changed dates and was eventually a test event for an audience to be in attendance which lasted for a single day. Ronnie O'Sullivan won his sixth world championship, defeating first time finalist Kyren Wilson in the final. One of my favourite recent events, due to the quality of play at times, a maximum break made by John Higgins and one of the best days of snooker in the semi-finals where both matches went to a deciding frame."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Good Job!

Have you not been congratulated for the 2020 World Snooker Championship yet? Well done! Panini!🥪 16:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Just part of the snooker world domination tour :p. Thanks, this year's tournament finishes later today, been fantastic this year. Not quite keeping up with the article this year. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 17:04, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Apologies

I never meant to indicate your behavior was toxic. I have clarified my remarks. --dashiellx (talk) 11:12, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

I can't say I'd read it :P, but I'd be surprised if someone thought I was being aggressive in that convo. I would advise dropping the stick a little sooner but otherwise seemed like a regular old edit war to me. I do think it was all a little too WP:BITEy for my liking, but I don't think you can really get anywhere by suggesting other editors aren't assuming good faith. It's either ANI or bust in my experience, even if it leaves you demoralised, there's not much you can do. Let me know if I can do anything for you. :) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 13:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

2019 English Open (snooker)

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 2019 English Open (snooker) has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

There is one thing I think might need clarification. In the lede, 19.com is described as a "betting company", whereas in the Format section it is described as a "Chinese sports prediction website". Perhaps it is both? In any event, a consistent description would be useful.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:24, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

I think they do both (I don't read Chinese), but I'll get on that. Good spot. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 19:27, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Good Articles

I have a question about GA and I'm asking you because you have participated a lot in that area. What is the average time for a GA to gain a reviewer? It might be a dumb question, but I've only had six Good Articles over the years. My nomination of William Brooks Close has been waiting for a review since January 3 and I'm not sure if that's normal or not. I'm really interested on getting more articles to GA status, but I'm the type of person that likes to have an idea of what is considered an average time frame for things. I have participated quite a bit in DYK and I feel like moving further. SL93 (talk) 00:34, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Sure. There is no "average time" exactly, but there is specific things that speed up/slow down reviews. Generally, reviewers will pick up things they are interested in, so if your topic is long winded, niche or uninspiring, it might take a little longer. I'd suggest picking up some reviews of your own. My reviews are picked up pretty quickly as I generally do reviews for other people in return. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 08:38, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
I withdrew my two nominations - partly because I'm losing patience and partly because I don't trust myself to judge MOS well enough for GA reviews. I sent my two noms through copyediting first. SL93 (talk) 22:15, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
If you withdraw the nominations, there is zero chance of them being reviewed. There is quite a large backlog, so it can take some time to get a review. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 08:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Hajime

In case I'm busy could you see Hajime's GA review too? I am too busy in the mornings.Tintor2 (talk) 11:31, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

It's on review? No problem, I'll take a look. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 11:32, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Hajime Hinata became GA :D . I'm also planning to nominate Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair but I don't know if its lacking something besides a copyedit. Feel free to edit anything if you are interested. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:49, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Advice request

Hi Lee, I see you're taking time away so don't feel in any hurry to respond! Since we run in some of the same editing circles, I thought I'd just see if you have any advice for RfA. It's not something I'm thinking of doing soon, and wasn't considering at all for a long while, but with wanting to contribute more at DYK (and in XfD on some of the more polemic topics I edit), admin tools would be useful. I've commented at other RfAs before but really wouldn't know how to go about it, nor if anyone thinks I'd be any good. So, any advice would be great, now or in the future. Thanks, Kingsif (talk) 01:47, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Kingsif, thanks for reaching out! I prefer to have these conversations off-wiki as they require a bit of tact. I'll get something over to you as soon as I can. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 07:40, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks :) Kingsif (talk) 10:33, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Kingsif Further to my email - did you think you would be interested in running? I'd be more than happy to nominate you, and I have a colleague happy to work with us Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 21:18, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Hmm, your email gave me lots to think on, but I would probably be interested at some point - and thank you so much for offering, too! Kingsif (talk) 04:28, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Judgment (video game)

I just nominated Judgment (video game) to GA. It's a bit bigger than those two Danganronpa articles you reviewed but I wonder if you could review it if possible. I had asked Haleth or Axel too but since they haven't played it yet they didn't want to read the plot section. Anyway, happy editing.Tintor2 (talk) 22:06, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Hazeka‎

Hey Lee, I saw that you had added a tag and removed the stub template from Hazeka, so I added a link to the article and then removed the tag. The reason that I labelled it as a stub is because even though it's more than 10 sentences and over 10,000 characters (as per the definition of a stub), I didn't think it was capable of expansion (which is also the definition). But I'm fine with your opinion. However, picky me felt compelled to go to the article's talk page and change the classification. You made extra work for me! ;) So next time, if you're gonna do that, would you mind changing the classification in the talk page? Thanks, and best to you. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:33, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

There's not much extra I can do. This was done via a script on WP:AWB, which wouldn't be able to also rate the page. I'm happy with whatever rating you wish to give the article, I just run the default genfixes script to new articles. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 18:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Oh sorry, that wasn't clear to me from your edit summary. Sometimes I think those bots make more work for us. No, I already rated it. Thanks for the clean-up you do around WP, and again, best to you. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 02:38, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
