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 Wikipedia: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 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 your name from Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Article Semakula Kiwanuka

Hello there,

I was still working on the above article in my sandbox and

1. I'm not really sure why you'd proceed to move it to the mainspace at this point...
2. Nominate the same for speedy deletion considering what I have pointed above...

Can this be undone?

AKibombo (talk) 11:26, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

AKibombo the page was already in mainspace. You wrote it at AKibombo/sandbox/Semakula Kiwanuka - that is not user space but a mainspace destination. All I did was move it to a more appropriate and easy to find name. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:09, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I was going to move it to the preferred location of User:AKibombo/sandbox/Semakula Kiwanuka but User:Shirt58 had already moved a previous version of the draft there at 10:16 today. If you check the history of Draft:Semakula Kiwanuka, you can see that you created a new version of the sandbox at the mainspace location of AKibombo/sandbox/Semakula Kiwanuka at 10:18 today, 2 minutes after the previous attempt to userfy your previous accidental posting of your sandbox to a mainspace location. I considered moving this to draftspace but this would be considered as tendentious after your previous move from userspace to mainspace only 2 minutes after the previous move by Shirt.

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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Request for Undeletion or Permission to Recreate the Page for "Clintianoo"

Happy New Year @Spiderone

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request the restoration of the deleted page on “Clintianoo” or, alternatively, permission to create a new article that adheres to Wikipedia’s guidelines.

Clintianoo is a notable social media influencer in Nigeria, recognized for his significant contributions to the digital and entertainment landscape, especially on Tiktok. I believe his impact and notability meet the standards outlined in Wikipedia’s notability criteria.

I understand that the original article was deleted under section G11 for being overly promotional. I acknowledge the importance of Wikipedia’s neutral and encyclopedic tone, and I would like to improve upon or recreate the page in a manner that complies with all guidelines by using citations from reliable sources, compliance with Wikipedia policies.

I have been contributing to Wikipedia’s mission of providing a comprehensive and factual repository of knowledge. As such, I'll ensure that the new article upholds Wikipedia's standards.

I would welcome your feedback. @Opyquad Opyquad (talk) 22:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

I can't remember what Draft:Clintianoo looked like but you are okay to create a new article there and don't need my permission. The previous one will not be restored as it was spam. Please make sure that the new one complies with WP:GNG and avoids promotional language. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 23:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

@Spiderone I wanted to be sure why the precious page was deleted. I’m aware of the guidelines. Thanks for your feedback. Opyquad (talk) 01:54, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

homelane

you've mentioned some edits, could you please elaborate? 122.172.84.153 (talk) 05:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you are referring to. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:43, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mylampatti

Hello, Spiderone,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Ozzie10aaaa, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Mylampatti, for deletion, because it is a very short article that doesn't provide readers with enough context to determine who or what the subject is.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Ozzie10aaaa}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Kallipalayam, Coimbatore

Hello, Spiderone,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Ozzie10aaaa, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Kallipalayam, Coimbatore for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Ozzie10aaaa}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

AfD on Shivkrupanand Swami

An article on Shivkrupanand Swami that was deleted in 2020 was recreated last year. I reviewed it during New Page Review and have nominated it for deletion. I am notifying all non-blocked participants in the 2020 AfD. The new AfD is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shivkrupanand Swami (2nd nomination). Thank you.
