Ahora que estoy aquí, siéntete libre de poner cualquier pregunta/inquietud/comentario a continuación (preferiblemente en su propia sección) si deseas que responda. Especifica dónde deseas recibir las respuestas (si son necesarias). A menos que se especifique lo contrario (o que haya una buena razón para hacerlo), responderé aquí. Además, puedo y responderé a comentarios deliberadamente provocativos para proporcionar contexto, en caso de que la situación se agrave o exista el riesgo de que se agrave.
Si te preguntas por qué se ha eliminado un artículo, lee primero esta página . Al menos debería servir para aclarar la situación, aunque no te dé una respuesta. Estoy más que dispuesto a responder, por supuesto, pero supongo que la has leído detenidamente.
En lo que respecta al archivo, archivaré todas las discusiones "muertas" cuando la página se haga demasiado larga y dejaré las "activas" fuera por un tiempo. De esa manera, no corremos el riesgo de tener fragmentos esparcidos por todas partes.
Hola BigHaz:
¡Gracias por todas tus contribuciones para mejorar Wikipedia y que tengas un feliz y divertido Halloween !

He echado un vistazo a unas 20 de tus reseñas recientes y, aunque las "fáciles" en general recibieron buenas reseñas, noté algunos errores. Creo que deberías ir más despacio y dedicar un poco más de tiempo a las reseñas. Por ejemplo, consulta: Titan Chowdhury y G-Aerosports (que he propuesto eliminar), Hartmut Thieme (que era un BLP etiquetado por otro usuario por falta de fuentes después de que lo revisaras) y John Howlin (al que probablemente se le debería haber agregado la etiqueta refimprove o algo similar). Gracias por tu ayuda y no quiero disuadirte de que revises nuevos artículos, pero valdría la pena que fueras un poco más cuidadoso en el futuro. — Insertcleverphrasehere ( o aquí ) 06:19, 31 de enero de 2018 (UTC)

Hola, me preguntaba si se pueden recuperar las páginas de los dos primeros álbumes de la banda croata Aerodrom ("Kad misli mi vrludaju" y "Tango Bango"). Mencionaste "fuentes insuficientemente fiables" como motivo de la eliminación, pero ¿qué fuente es más fiable que tener un LP en la mano y citar la página oficial de la banda? Esas páginas solo contenían datos. No veo cuál es la diferencia entre estos dos y todos los demás artículos de toda la discografía de la banda, que normalmente siguen activos en Wikipedia. Gracias.

¡Hola! Estoy trabajando en artículos sin fuentes y me encontré con algunos que creaste hace tiempo sobre canciones de Eurovisión. Es un tema del que no sé nada. ¿Hay alguna posibilidad de que puedas incluir una o dos referencias en algunos de esos artículos rápidamente para que alguien pueda verificar fácilmente la información que contienen? Sería de gran ayuda. Los que estoy viendo en particular son Za našu ljubav y Chcę znać swój grzech... , pero parece que muchos de los artículos de canciones vinculados pueden ser adecuados. ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Feliz edición!

Y así termina la primera ronda de la competencia, con 4 puntos necesarios para calificar para la ronda 2. Con 53 concursantes clasificando, los grupos para la ronda 2 son ligeramente más pequeños de lo habitual, con los dos líderes de cada grupo clasificando para la ronda 3, así como los dieciséis mejores usuarios restantes.
Nuestros máximos goleadores en la primera ronda fueron:
Aoba47 lideró el campo con un artículo destacado, 8 buenos artículos y 42 GAR, dando un total de 666 puntos.
FrB.TG , un recién llegado a WikiCup, llegó después con 600 puntos, obtenidos gracias a un artículo destacado y una gran cantidad de puntos de bonificación.
Ssven2 , otro recién llegado a WikiCup, quedó en tercer lugar con 403 puntos, obtenidos de un artículo destacado, una lista destacada, un buen artículo y doce GAR. Ceranthor , Numeroso unovedante ,
Carrerera ,
Farang Rak Tham y
Los freaks de Cartoon Network obtuvieron más de 200 puntos, pero al igual que el resto de concursantes, ahora deben comenzar de nuevo desde cero. Un buen logro fueron los 193 GAR que realizaron los concursantes de WikiCup, que se comparan muy favorablemente con los 54 GA que lograron.Recuerde que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 1 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 2 puede reclamarse en la ronda 2. Las invitaciones para trabajos de escritura colaborativa o cualquier otra discusión de trabajos potencialmente interesantes siempre son bienvenidas en la página de discusión de WikiCup. Recuerde, si dos o más competidores de WikiCup han realizado un trabajo significativo en un artículo, todos pueden reclamar puntos.

La segunda ronda de la WikiCup 2018 ya ha finalizado. La mayoría de los participantes que avanzaron a la siguiente ronda obtuvieron más de 100 puntos, pero dos con solo 10 puntos lograron pasar a la ronda 3. Nuestros máximos anotadores en la última ronda fueron:
Cas Liber , nuestro ganador en 2016, con tres artículos destacados.svg/1280px-Flag_of_Texas_(1839%E2%80%931879).svg.png){kind=small}
Iazyges , con nueve buenos artículos y muchos puntos extra Yashthepunisher , concursante por primera vez, con dos listas destacadas
SounderBruce , finalista el año pasado, con diecisiete buenos artículos sobre temas Nombre de usuario único , un concursante por primera vez, con catorce DYK
Muboshgu , un competidor experimentado, con tres ITN y
Courcelles , otro concursante debutante, con veintisiete GARHasta ahora, los concursantes han logrado doce artículos destacados entre ellos y un espléndido total de 124 buenos artículos. Cabe destacar que se han completado 326 GAR durante el transcurso de la WikiCup 2018, por lo que la acumulación de artículos en espera de la revisión de GA se ha reducido como resultado de las actividades de los concursantes. Al entrar en la tercera ronda, recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 2 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 3 se puede reclamar en la ronda 3. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a la "obtención" de los mismos. Al realizar GAR, asegúrate de comprobar que se cumplen todos los criterios de GA; la mayoría de los GAR están bien, pero algunos han sido un poco escasos.
Si le preocupa que su nominación (ya sea en una convocatoria de buenos artículos, en un proceso de selección o en cualquier otro lugar) no reciba las críticas necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (recuerde eliminar su inclusión cuando ya no sea necesaria).

La tercera ronda de la WikiCup 2018 ya ha llegado a su fin. Los 16 usuarios que llegaron a la cuarta ronda tenían al menos 227 puntos. Nuestros máximos anotadores en la ronda 3 fueron:
Courcelles , que participa por primera vez, con 1756 puntos, un recuento basado en gran medida en 27 GA relacionados con los Juegos Olímpicos. Cas Liber , nuestro ganador en 2016, con dos artículos destacados y tres GA sobre temas de historia natural y astronomía SounderBruce , finalista el año pasado, con una variedad de presentaciones relacionadas con el transporte en el estado de WashingtonLos concursantes consiguieron 7 artículos destacados, 4 listas destacadas, 120 buenos artículos, 1 buen tema, 124 entradas DYK, 15 entradas ITN y 132 buenas reseñas de artículos. A lo largo de la competición, los concursantes han completado 458 reseñas de GA, en comparación con los 244 buenos artículos enviados para su revisión y promoción. Al entrar en la cuarta ronda, recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 3 pero antes del inicio de la ronda 4 se puede reclamar en la ronda 4. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a la "obtención" de los mismos. Al realizar GAR, asegúrate de comprobar que se cumplen todos los criterios de GA. Recuerda también que todos los envíos deben cumplir con las políticas básicas de Wikipedia, independientemente del proceso de revisión; varios envíos, en particular en áreas abstrusas o técnicas, han necesitado trabajo adicional para que sean completamente verificables.

Hola, para cambiar un enlace a otro wiki en otro idioma, ahora debes editar la entrada en Wikidata.
Actualmente, mandarin orange (Q125337) tiene enlaces a 87 wikis de idiomas, incluidos nuestros wikis de mandarin orange y et:Harilik mandariinipuu. Si cree que et:Mandariin es mejor, cambie el enlace en mandarin orange (Q125337).
Un problema importante de Wikidata, al menos para mí, es que no puede manejar múltiples enlaces entre wikis. Por lo tanto, si algunas wikis tienen artículos separados sobre la planta y la fruta y otras tienen solo uno, no se pueden crear enlaces que muestren esto. Solo se puede hacer que uno de los artículos sobre la planta o la fruta se vincule con el artículo único en la otra wiki. Peter coxhead ( discusión ) 06:55 30 jul 2018 (UTC)

La cuarta ronda de la WikiCup 2018 ya ha llegado a su fin. Los ocho usuarios que llegaron a la ronda final tuvieron que conseguir un mínimo de 422 puntos para clasificarse, siendo la puntuación máxima de la ronda 4869 puntos. Los líderes de la ronda 4 fueron:
Courcelles obtuvo unos magníficos 4869 puntos, con 92 buenos artículos sobre temas relacionados con los Juegos Olímpicos. ¡Los puntos extra de Courcelles superaron por sí solos la puntuación total de cualquiera de los otros concursantes!
Kees08 quedó en segundo lugar con 1155 puntos, incluido un artículo destacado de alto puntaje para Neil Armstrong , dos buenos temas y algunos buenos artículos relacionados con los Juegos Olímpicos. Cas Liber , con 1066 puntos, quedó en tercer lugar en esta ronda, con dos artículos destacados y un buen artículo, todos sobre temas de historia natural.
Nueva Cristallis , Yaziges , SonadorBruce , 
Kosack y Ceranto .Durante la cuarta ronda, los participantes de WikiCup promocionaron 6 artículos destacados y 164 buenos artículos, se incluyeron 13 artículos en temas buenos y se realizaron 143 reseñas de buenos artículos. También hubo 10 contribuciones "de actualidad" en la página principal y 53 "sabías que". ¡Felicitaciones a todos los que participaron! En general, fue una ronda productiva y con puntajes altos, y creo que podemos esperar un final muy competitivo para la competencia.
Recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 4 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 5 puede reclamarse en la ronda 5. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 10 días posteriores a haberlos "ganado". Si te preocupa que tu nominación no reciba las revisiones necesarias, inclúyela en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews .

Y así termina la primera ronda de la competición. Todos los que obtengan una puntuación positiva pasan a la segunda ronda. Con 56 concursantes clasificados, cada grupo de la segunda ronda está formado por siete concursantes, y los dos líderes de cada grupo se clasificarán para la tercera ronda, así como los dieciséis mejores concursantes restantes.
Nuestros máximos goleadores en la Ronda 1 fueron:
L293D , un recién llegado a WikiCup, lideró el campo con diez buenos artículos sobre submarinos para un total de 357 puntos.
Adam Cuerden , un veterano de WikiCup, llegó después con 274 puntos, principalmente provenientes de ocho imágenes destacadas, restauraciones de obras de arte.
MPJ-DK , un entusiasta de la lucha libre, quedó en tercer lugar con 263 puntos, obtenidos de una lista destacada, cinco buenos artículos, dos DYK y cuatro GAR. Usernameunique llegó después, en el puesto 243, con un artículo destacado y un buen artículo, ambos sobre cascos antiguos.
Squeamish Ossifrage ocupó el quinto lugar con 224 puntos, en su mayoría obtenidos por llevar el incendio de la bóveda de Fox en 1937 al estatus de artículo destacado.
Ed! también estuvo en 224, con una sorprendente cantidad de buenas reseñas de artículos (56 en realidad).Estos concursantes, al igual que todos los demás, ahora tienen que empezar a sumar puntos desde cero. Entre todos, los concursantes completaron reseñas de 143 artículos buenos, cien más de la cantidad de artículos buenos que afirmaban haber completado, lo que supone una importante reducción de la acumulación de reseñas. ¡Bien hecho a todos!
Recuerde que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la Ronda 1 pero antes del comienzo de la Ronda 2 puede ser reclamado en la Ronda 2. Las invitaciones para trabajos de escritura colaborativa o cualquier otra discusión de trabajos potencialmente interesantes siempre son bienvenidas en la página de discusión de WikiCup. Recuerde, si dos o más competidores de WikiCup han hecho un trabajo significativo en un artículo, todos pueden reclamar puntos.

La segunda ronda de la WikiCup 2019 ya ha finalizado. Los participantes debían sumar 32 puntos para pasar a la ronda 3. Nuestros cuatro máximos anotadores de la ronda 2 obtuvieron más de 400 puntos y fueron:
Cas Liber (1210), nuestro ganador en 2016, con dos artículos destacados y tres DYK. También hizo un buen uso de los puntos de bonificación disponibles, más del doble de su puntuación al elegir artículos apropiados en los que trabajar. Kosack (750), subcampeón del año pasado, con un FA, un GA, dos FL y cinco DYK. Adam Cuerden (480), un veterano de WikiCup, con 16 imágenes destacadas, en su mayoría restauraciones..svg/1280px-Flag_of_Prussia_(1892-1918).svg.png){kind=small}
Zwerg Nase (461), un competidor experimentado, con un artículo FA, un GA y un ITN.Otras actuaciones notables fueron las de
Barkeep49 con seis GA, Ceranthor ,
Lee Vilenski y
Canada Hky , cada una con siete GAR, y MPJ-DK con un GT de siete elementos.
Hasta ahora, los concursantes han logrado nueve artículos destacados y un total de 80 excelentes artículos. Cabe destacar que se han completado 227 GAR durante el transcurso de la WikiCup 2019, por lo que la acumulación de artículos pendientes de revisión por parte de GA se ha reducido como resultado de las actividades de los concursantes. Los jueces están satisfechos con los exhaustivos GAR que se están realizando y casi no han tenido que rechazar ninguno. Al entrar en la tercera ronda, recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 2 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 3 se puede reclamar en la ronda 3. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a su "obtención".
Si le preocupa que su nominación (ya sea en una convocatoria de buenos artículos, en un proceso destacado o en cualquier otro lugar) no reciba las revisiones necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (recuerde eliminar su inclusión cuando ya no sea necesaria). Las preguntas son bienvenidas en Wikipedia talk:WikiCup y los jueces están disponibles en sus páginas de discusión o por correo electrónico. ¡Buena suerte!

Este mensaje fue enviado a todos los administradores a raíz de una moción reciente . Gracias por su atención. Para el Comité de Arbitraje , Cameron11598 02:19, 4 de mayo de 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom desea disculparse y corregir nuestro mensaje masivo anterior a la luz de la respuesta de la comunidad.
Desde noviembre de 2018, seis cuentas de administrador se han visto comprometidas y se han desactivado temporalmente. En un esfuerzo por ayudar a mejorar la seguridad de las cuentas, nuestra intención era recordarles a los administradores las políticas existentes sobre seguridad de cuentas: que deben " tener contraseñas seguras y seguir prácticas de seguridad personal adecuadas ". Hemos actualizado nuestros procedimientos para asegurarnos de que apliquemos estas políticas de manera más estricta en el futuro. Las políticas en sí no han cambiado. En particular, la autenticación de dos factores sigue siendo un medio opcional para agregar seguridad adicional a su cuenta. La opción de no habilitar la autenticación de dos factores no se tendrá en cuenta al decidir restaurar los privilegios de administrador de las cuentas de administrador que se vieron comprometidas.
Lamentamos la redacción de nuestro mensaje anterior, que no transmitió con precisión este mensaje, y lamentamos profundamente el tono en que fue transmitido.
Para el Comité de Arbitraje, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 de mayo de 2019 (UTC)

La tercera ronda de la WikiCup 2019 ya ha llegado a su fin. Los 16 usuarios que llegaron a la cuarta ronda debían obtener al menos 68 puntos, lo que es sustancialmente menor que los 227 puntos del año pasado. Nuestros máximos anotadores en la ronda 3 fueron:
Cas Liber , nuestro ganador en 2016, con 500 puntos derivados principalmente de un artículo destacado y dos GA sobre temas de historia natural Adam Cuerden , con 480 puntos, un cómputo construido a partir de 16 imágenes destacadas, fruto de un meticuloso trabajo de restauración. SounderBruce , finalista en los últimos dos años, con 306 puntos de una variedad de presentaciones, en su mayoría relacionadas con el deporte o el estado de Washington. Nombre de usuario único , con 305 puntos derivados de un artículo destacado y dos GA sobre arqueología y temas relacionadosLos participantes consiguieron 4 (5) artículos destacados, 4 listas destacadas, 18 imágenes destacadas, 29 buenos artículos, 50 entradas DYK, 9 entradas ITN y 39 buenas reseñas de artículos. Al entrar en la cuarta ronda, recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 3 pero antes del inicio de la ronda 4 se puede reclamar en la ronda 4. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 14 días de haberlos "ganado", y es imperativo reclamarlos en la ronda correcta; un reclamo de FA tuvo que ser rechazado porque se envió incorrectamente (reclamado en la ronda 3 cuando calificaba para la ronda 2), ¡así que ten cuidado! Al hacer GAR, asegúrate de verificar que se cumplan todos los criterios de GA.

Desde la introducción de los derechos de usuario temporales, se ha vuelto más habitual conceder al revisor de páginas nuevas el derecho a un período de prueba de entre 3 y 6 meses en primera instancia. Esto evita la pérdida de derechos por inactividad en una etapa posterior y permite una revisión de su trabajo antes de conceder el derecho de forma permanente.
La cuarta ronda de la competición ha finalizado en un frenesí de actividad de último minuto, con 454 puntos necesarios para clasificarse para la ronda final. Fue una ronda muy competitiva en la que se eliminaron dos concursantes con más de 400 puntos y todos los finalistas, excepto dos, consiguieron un FA durante la ronda. Casliber , nuestro ganador de 2016, fue el que obtuvo la mayor puntuación, seguido de Enwebb y Lee Vilenski , que son nuevos en la competición. En cuarto lugar quedó SounderBruce , finalista el año pasado. Pero todos esos puntos se esfumaron mientras empezamos de nuevo para la ronda final.
En la cuarta ronda se obtuvieron 11 artículos destacados. Además, Adam Cuerden obtuvo 18 FP, Lee Vilenski lideró la puntuación de GA con 8 GA, mientras que Kosack realizó 15 revisiones de GA. Hubo alrededor de 40 DYK, 40 GAR y 31 GA en total durante la cuarta ronda. Aunque los participantes realizaron más GAR de los que lograron GA, todavía hubo cierta frustración por el tiempo que tomó para que los artículos fueran revisados.
Al comenzar la quinta ronda, nos despedimos de los ocho competidores que no lograron clasificarse; les agradecemos por las útiles contribuciones que han hecho a la Copa y a Wikipedia, y esperamos que se unan a nosotros nuevamente el próximo año. Recuerden que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 4 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 5 puede reclamarse en la ronda 5. Recuerden también que deben reclamar sus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a su "obtención" (algunas personas no cumplieron con esta regla y los puntos fueron eliminados).

Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today and all article creators, expanders and improvers are welcome to take part. 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. We are relaxing the rule that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2020 will count; now to be eligible for points in the competition, you must have completed significant work on the content at some time! Any questions on the rules or on anything else connected to the Cup should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. Good luck!

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points..svg/1280px-Royal_standard_of_England_(1406%E2%80%931603).svg.png){kind=small}
Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare. Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status. L293D, 
Kingsif, Enwebb, Lee Vilenski and 
CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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:
Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews Lee Vilenski with 869 points, 
Hog Farm with 801, Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and 
MX with 515.The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also 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. 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. Good luck!

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs; Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to 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. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.
The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions), HaEr48 (submissions), Harrias (submissions) and Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths. ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points. Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items. The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs..svg/1280px-Standard_of_Oliver_Cromwell_(1653%E2%80%931659).svg.png){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews. Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles. Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

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).

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. .jpg/1280px-Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_(Berlin).jpg){kind=small}
Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5.

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs. Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews..svg/1280px-Flag_of_Provo,_Utah_(1989%E2%80%932015).svg.png){kind=small}
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways. Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.

Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points.

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Hi, I don't think MasterChef: Dessert Makers and MasterChef Australia: Dessert Makers qualify as implausible misnomers to make. I think that this is definitely the sort of fairly common incorrect name which should be sent to RfD instead. Personally, I think it's a pretty helpful redirect and should be kept – which is as good a rationale as any that a CSDed page should be undeleted. J947 † edits 06:11, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi - I'm sorry, I thought I'd linked to this in my comment at AN. CCoSes are discussed at WP:CCOS. It's an essay, rather than policy, but it's widely accepted and is used as part of the process when we train new WP:NPP patrollers. It's worth a read if you want to implement CSDA7 tags in future. Now, would you be OK if I were to undelete Christianné Allen? I honestly don't think it was a valid A7, but I don't want to undo your action without discussion, per WP:RAAA.

Hi BigHaz. I found these pages through this discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Would you undelete:
I agree with the editors who discussed these pages with you that the pages are not eligible for the speedy deletion criteria they were deleted under.
Wikipedia:Deletion review#Instructions says: "Before listing a review request, please: Consider attempting to discuss the matter with the closer as this could resolve the matter more quickly. There could have been a mistake, miscommunication, or misunderstanding, and a full review may not be needed. Such discussion also gives the closer the opportunity to clarify the reasoning behind a decision."
I am considering open Wikipedia:Deletion review requests for these pages but am discussing the matter with you first. Thank you, Cunard (talk) 01:20, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Could you restore the article "Momoka Ito"? You deleted it as an "expired PROD" back in 2017. It was prodded when I wasn't watching. (As far I know, anyone can request to undelete a prodded article at any time. I remember how I returned to Wikipedia and noticed the article was missing... But I didn't dare to ask then...)
She is notable, there were like 1 billion news articles about her in Japanese in 2017 already. And she is not forgotten, look: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22伊藤萌々香%22&tbm=nws&source=lnms. And she had a charting single in Japan: https://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/622786/rank/single/, so she easily passes WP:MUSICBIO no matter how short her English-language article was at the time of deletion. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:12, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
