WikiCup 2021 March newsletter

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.
• 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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

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.

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter

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. 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. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. 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:

1. 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.
2. AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
3. Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
6. Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
7. 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. 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.

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter

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.
• 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. 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 Needed.

Hey that sounds pretty good, where shall we, or in any case, I shall start? TheBellaTwins1445 (talk) 21:03, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

@TheBellaTwins1445: I am currently working on "Como la Flor" right here. I've used offline sources (magazines, newspapers, books, etc.) that I have in my possession and a simple google search before working my way into newspapers.com. If you want, do you have any offline sources at your disposal that I have not included? Or, you can start a userspace draft for "La Carcacha" or "Amame" on your end, and after I am finished, I'll head right over and grab what I can from my end? Anything you find for either, just use the talk page of the sandboxes and we can communicate there about the sources you find. Thanks – jona ✉ 22:25, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

		For your herculean effort in writing Patsy Torres — by far the most intricate, well-researched, complete and comprehensive draft I have reviewed. A B-class assessment doesn't quite do it justice, and if I could have, I would have given it an even higher rating. — The Most Comfortable Chair 14:59, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

@The Most Comfortable Chair: that is so nice of you! Thanks for your kind words and for this barnstar, really appreciate it! Best – jona ✉ 15:20, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Patsy Torres

On 28 June 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Patsy Torres, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Como la Flor

Hi AJona1992, I found one sentence in "Commercial performance" confusing; I'm not sure what the bolded part of "In July 1992,[73] EMI Latin president Jose Behar booked Selena for a high-profile press tour in Monterrey, Mexico, with music-media types that were two-and-a-half times that of the United States." means, so I added a {{clarify}} template with an explanation. Also, the archive url for citation 158, "Harrison, Marino & Murray 2005", links to an archive.today snapshot of the Proquest page but the article is hidden; I don't think this is useful. You may be able to find it on the publisher's website https://www.ajc.com/, which isn't accessible in my country so I can't search for it, though the Wayback Machine has plenty of pages from that source dating from 2005 archived. There may be other refs like this, I don't know. Even Wayback isn't useful if we don't have the original url!

Anyway, it's nice to see you're still editing on en:WP. Good luck with the article and your planned GA nom. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:57, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

@Baffle gab1978: Hey, thanks for the c/e! I believe for certain it is supposed to mean music/entertainment journalists. I will go through them and check those out, thanks for looking! Best – jona ✉ 12:29, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

It seems like you have requested a GAN for one of Selena's songs and I have recently listed a FAC for the popular music group BTS. If you could do the review comments for the BTS article at FAC, then I could offer to do the review for your Selena song currently listed for GAN to try to move the articles forward. Any thoughts?

I'm not sure that its meant to be a favor, as much as drawing attention to other articles being nominated. In this case, the review of any Selena article which I look at ought to include both the positive statements and separate observations and statements, which might be recommended and intended to enhance the article.

Hey AJona just asking for some feedback, I am looking forward to create this article you created on the Spanish Wipedia, but I just have one question, where did you get the track listing for the album ? Do you have a source? If so could you please provided to me to have the assurance that the information we are placing is true. Hope you can respond me back as fast as possible, greetings.

@AJona1992 Fella I have another question, why are the WOAI-TV statements regarding the Selena comments important? Like what kind of Facebook posts they did to get blasted by Selena fans ? They said something wrong? or they started advertising the album and fans got mad? or something like that? Greetings, awaiting for resposes :) --TheBellaTwins1445 (talk) 18:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The station released info about the then-untitled remix album the family was planning and people wrote "insensitive" responses to their post. – jona ✉ 19:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

@AJona1992 Cop Ajona, but shouldn't we then add that info. regarding the post they did and then the later blast from fans, just to clarify why it is important to mention them, could you do that? TheBellaTwins1445 (talk) 19:47, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The way it is written in the article is fine. The fact that this is the only media outlet that is calling out against negative comments is important, though to say that explicitly would violate WP:OR. I made sure to include every news outlet that has said anything in regards to the album, whether it is negative or positive. Can you clarify why you believe this source should not be included in the article? I'm not going to "add [more] info" to a source, readers can identify that the sentence is in regards to the album.

Selena Alpha album

I noticed that my edits have been reversed. “Alpha” is the second studio album. “Mis Primeras Grabaciones” is the debut album. Also “The New Girl in Town” is not an official album, it is a fan made compilation of songs that Selena recorded under Cara records. They never actually released an album with them. This has been confirmed by her father Abraham Quintanilla Jr. “Wikia”/“Fandom” has incorrect information. I’m just trying to correct it. -Tejanorules Tejanorules (talk) 23:21, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

@Tejanorules: You need to provide a reliable source to back up your claims. You can't just add information from someone you heard the information from, if it was indeed Abraham Quintanilla, then please provide that source when you edit the article. Best – jona ✉ 23:36, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Video source for Selena debut album

Video source for Selena debut album. Video is titled “Selena’s Journey to EMI Latin” Can’t post link here do to unknown error. 4:21 discusses Freddie Records and debut album “Selena y Los Dinos”(Mis Primeras Grabaciones) 5:27 audio of Abraham Quintanilla discussing the debut album. -Tejanorules Tejanorules (talk) 04:05, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

It's a fan-made video that is not accepted as a reliable source per WP:YouTube. If it was an official video, then it could have been added, though the video doesn't say that The New Girl in Town never existed. Best – jona ✉ 19:47, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

New sources for first Selena album: Source 1 https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/web-series/how-selena-quintanillas-first-album-paved-way-for-her-success-as-a-pop-culture-icon.html Source 2 Newsweek magazine special edition “Selena: The Life and Legacy of Tejano’s Queen” - page 10, 28, 29 Tejanorules (talk) 16:09, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

The source link doesn't say that The New Girl in Town is not a real album. Do you have a link for the second source? Best – jona ✉ 17:39, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

The sources are only to prove that “Mis Primeras Grabaciones” is the debut album, not “Alpha”. The second source is a magazine I bought from 2018. It’s a physical copy no online links available. The only way to read is to purchase a copy. It is a reliable source. It’s no different than sourcing a book. For example “ Como La Flor” by Joe Nick Patoski is used as a source for multiple Selena articles. When you click on the links they don’t show you the physical pages of the book. The book like the magazine I referenced must be purchased in order to read. The magazine like the book is a reliable source. Tejanorules (talk) 20:00, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

I can send pictures of the magazine via email if you absolutely need it. Tejanorules (talk) 20:11, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

The article does say "it followed two albums the group recorded under different indie music labels." this was proposed during the article's GA nomination. Alpha is the debut studio album under GP Productions. Since you brought up Joe Nick Patoski, The New Girl in Town's existence is a claim backed up by Patoski in his book Como la Flor (1996) on page 55. Best – jona ✉ 16:01, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

“Alpha” may be the first album under GP productions, but it is still not the “debut album”. You are going to have to change it at some point, because I’m planning on creating an article for “Mis Primeras Grabaciones” and I will be putting “debut album” on it. There can’t be two articles that say debut album, that’s only going to cause more confusion. Also once again regarding “the new girl in town”, I do believe the Quintanilla’s were originally planning on releasing an album by that name while under Cara records, they recorded songs for it, but the album never came to be. All that was left were the singles. Also proof that it doesn’t exist. My magazine doesn’t mention it and it is more recent than Patowski’s book. There are several pages dedicated to her early albums that includes pictures, “ the new girl in town” is not among them. Also more proof that it doesn’t exist, is that there are no physical copies of it anywhere on the internet. If you look up any of Selena’s early albums, you will be guaranteed to find a physical copy of them. Whether it’s Vinyl ,CD, or cassette all those albums have physical copies. If you look up “The New Girl in Town” you will not find a physical copy because it doesn’t exist. You might find a couple of pages talking about it, but no physical copies available for purchase. Those websites get their info from “wikia/fandom”, not a reliable source. Now the Quintanilla’s did end up using that album title for one of their other artist on q productions roster Isabelle Marie Sanchez. Tejanorules (talk) 08:26, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Also I found proof of Abraham Quintanilla stating that “The New Girl in Town” doesn’t exist. A screenshot taken from Mr Q’s Facebook page, a comment that he left. I’d be happy to send it via email. Tejanorules (talk) 08:42, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
