There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now.

GA reviews

Ealdgyth, you opened three GA review pages back on 15 March, but haven't returned to begin any of them for over five weeks:

Will you be starting these soon, or should they be put back into the pool of unreviewed nominations for another reviewer to select? Thank you for giving this your attention. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:07, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Go ahead and put them back in... I had a rush of clients wanting rush work right after I got those signed up for. I might have free time for them but better to turn to others. Ealdgyth (talk) 23:01, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Edward IV

I was debating the use of the word "claim" vs "right" as, according to the Act of Accord, the Yorkists did have the right to throne as they were now legally the successors of Henry VI. Do you not agree? Ychc1n19 (talk) 13:31, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

(stalking) @Ychc1n19: I suspect it's as much your preference for using dubious websites and blogs in place of reliable, third-party sources. I mean, if you want to spam the R3 Society, at least use The Ricardian. But frankly, there's nothing you're adding to articles that need to be sourced by anything other than the major texts anyway. I'm sure you know whose they are. Also, the lead does not need citations, as it reflects what is in the body of the article already, and that itself is sourced (per WP:CITELEAD).
As an example, please see this discussion regarding an article (here) on a subject similar to that which you have been editing on and see the potential. Cheers, ——Serial Number 54129 13:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
There’s no need to be so rude. I simply asked your opinion through a fair historical question. Richard III has nothing to do with this conversation. Which of the websites I have linked do you have issue with? They’re simply reputable websites (such as Wars of the Roses.org) which people can click and go straight to if they want to know more. I appreciate the point about citations in the lead, this is something I was not aware of and have corrected (fixing some other pages I had previously included them on). Ychc1n19 (talk) 14:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Richard III has nothing to do with this conversation... claims claims an editor who repeatedly links to the education website of The Richard III Society. *facepalm* I suggest you upgrade to the immediate usage of high-quality sources. Thanks! ——Serial Number 54129 14:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
You must have me confused with another user because I've never linked to the Richard III society. It's not a website I have ever visited. Was this on the Edward IV page? I linked the Richard III page on the Wars of the Roses site, that was all. If you can find the specific version on the history and show me where the Richard III site was linked, I'd be happy to have a look. Ychc1n19 (talk) 14:34, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey, check the passive-aggression in at the door, Ychc1n19. You literally linked to the Richard III Soc's education site twice. Now "have a look": Edward IV, here and in Act of Accord, here. Front page of that website states: Welcome to Wars of the Roses: the education website of The Richard III Society. H'mmm. Does this indicate the depth with which you assess your sources before putting them in articles? Incidentally, this discussion is for the article talk page, not a user page. Have with ye to User:Celia Homeford's and establish a centralised point of discussion. ——Serial Number 54129 16:08, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
I see. I was not aware that was a page created by the Richard III society, which is my mistake. Thank you for informing me, I shall avoid it in future. Ychc1n19 (talk) 10:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). 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.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

GAN Review Enhydriodon

Hi, may you start the review for the GAN, please? Thanks. PrimalMustelid (talk) 10:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

PrimalMustelid, as you will see from the section above, Ealdgyth has asked me to put this nomination, along with the other two, back into the pool of nominations awaiting review with no loss of seniority. I hope this is okay; I have begun the process for the other two, but will hold off in this case for the moment. Please let me know; many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
BlueMoonset I guess if my reviewer isn't able to continue the review, you can just put it back. PrimalMustelid (talk) 12:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
