WikiCup 2020 March newsletterAnd 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:
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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

The Stanley Parable GA nominationHello, I have addressed the first 8 points of your "lede" section of criticism. I'll be going through the rest of your bullet points later today. Thank you for your feedback. AntiGravityMaster (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
WikiCup newsletter correctionThere was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter; L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead, Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews.

FailedGALee Vilenski, thanks for making the updates to use FailedGA on the Talk page of those two GA nominations that you failed. I had to add in the topic field, which you'll want to be sure to include next time—basically, you copy the contents of the subtopic field from the GA nominee template to the topic field of FailedGA (or GA)—but otherwise everything's all set.

Your GA nomination of 1985 World Snooker ChampionshipThe article 1985 World Snooker Championship you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:1985 World Snooker Championship for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of The Rambling Man -- The Rambling Man (talk) 18:00, 3 March 2020 (UTC) GA pointersAny pointers would help, as I am doing my final tweaking now before nomination for Good Articles. I assume I can use news clips for references as I have done on William Morrison (chemist) and Raymond W. Bliss extensively. Thanks for looking at them if you have time.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:54, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
I hope some of the above is of use. With a GAN you just need to be very confident in the article, and that your prose and lede are tight. How it progresses will depend quite a lot on the reviewer. Having a copyedit done before you nominate is a very good way to tip the balance in the article's favour. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:56, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

My question at your RfAHi Lee -- What I was trying to get at with my question is that you seem to me to be rather restricted in the range of articles that you generally edit. This might well be a false perception, as your expertise and mine don't seem to overlap at all! As an admin, I have dealt with my inability to get to grips with, say, NFOOTY by rarely if ever deleting articles on footballers, as I don't understand what exactly constitutes a claim of notability sufficient to meet A7. I'd like to solicit some thought from you as to how well you feel you understand, say WP:PROF, WP:AUTHOR or other specialised guidelines, and also whether – in the light of your understanding – you would feel comfortable as an admin dealing with deletions or similar relating to articles outside your normal editing milieu. Given that the RfA seems likely to succeed, it's more a 'please take this into consideration in future' note, than anything else. Best of luck, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:00, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding CritoHello, Lee. Or I'm not really sure what to call you. Regardless, I know that the GA nomination for Crito is closed, but I've fixed the article with some of your suggestions since then. However, I'm still confused as to what you mean by some things.
I don't know what to add to the lede, because if I were to summarize every section in the article, it wouldn't sound right/literally be restating what's already been written.
For this one I am genuinely unsure what you mean, because I haven't ever seen a Wikipedia article with a citation for their IPA transcriptions. Even good articles like Yttrium just has it tucked to the side. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me where to find veritable sources for that.
Again, I'm genuinely unsure of what you mean here. It's a dialogue between two people but it's not something that Plato was there to write down. If that's what you mean, of course. I mean no disrespect with this, I just want to know what else I can do to the article. I will be requesting copy-editing as soon as you respond. puggo (talk) 17:34, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
RFAI'm going to beat the lazy 'crats to the punch and offer my heartiest congratulations on your outstanding RFA. Don't forget to keep writing articles! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 08:20, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
Broad-based COVID-19 community general sanctionsI write you because you wrote in this discussion "we simply cannot have bogus information pushed out in this way on this topic. The matter is clearly a massive driving force in the world right now - this is very likely to cause hysteria and effect the real world." I absolutely agree with this. So do my fellow editors in the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Canada article -- where this sanction was just imposed, in spite of the fact that we had NO bogus information whatsoever. We were not even having any problems with bogus information. Sanctions were simply slapped upon the article on the simple basis that they were being slapped on everywhere COVID-related -- but all "everywhere COVID-related" on WP are not having problems with accurate information. We were having none at all. (In fact, we were reaching good article class, possibly featured article class. How many country pages can say that? But don't take my word for it -- take a look for yourself.) I happen to be one of the core editors in that article, having completely overhauled the structure and at this point written most of the existing wordage -- which is why others stepped up to protest the action on my behalf. Yes, I know that I can always become a registered member -- but it is specifically during times like these that defending the core pillars of WP becomes more important than ever. I am an IP. The edits of an IP are supposed to be of equal value to those of a member, judged on value, not simply on being an IP. Take a glance at our country's talk page, and ask yourself whether I have given at least equal value. Take a look at the history, and ask yourself also whether the kind of value I have given can by covered by a simple "edit request". But set aside that this action on that article is essentially a slap in my face, imposed by an admin who had not even done any edits of that article. If you toss out WP's equivalent of a Bill of Rights in favour of heavy-handed action where it was not at all appropriate, let alone needed, then what value are those pillars? I cannot speak up on a dedicated administrators' page, where consensus for this broad-based action was determined without anyone having considered that the stated problem might not be a universal problem in that subject. I can hope that at least some admins can recognize that since we had exactly ZERO problem with inaccurate information and a driving determination to get out the accurate information in the best way possible, ours is not a case where one size fits all. I can also hope that those admins have the independence of thought to recognize that there are exceptions where a sweeping action is completely inappropriate, and have the courage to develop a separate consensus on that basis. I do know that for you, as an admin, determining an exception to a sweeping rule is possible -- but only if individual people such as yourself are willing to consider it and pursue it. It is not the simple route -- that way lies one-size-fits-all justice -- but it is the WP moral route. - Tenebris 66.11.171.90 (talk) 03:33, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Harrias -- Harrias (talk) 14:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC) template:Template:Professional wrestling title history middleHi there. Since you created the "Professional wrestling title history middle" template I'm reaching out to you, as I'm beyond my technical capabilities here. It was pointed out that for the table to be Feature List level the table needs row and column scopes as per MOS:ACCESS and detailed in MOS:DTT. Basically all headers need to have tables scope="column" and the number/sort number needs to have scope="row". Mexican National Women's Championship#Reigns by combined length shows how that is done on a normal table. Could you help me get the scope parameter added to the title history templates?
