WikiCup 2018

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:

• Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
• FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
• Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
• Ceranthor, Numerounovedant, Carbrera, Farang Rak Tham and Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

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 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 help 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!

Jaya Mehta sources

You added Jaya Mehta to list of alumni at SNDT Women's University and I was trying to add a source, but I cannot read the one you used so I cannot figure out if it is a reliable source or a self published source as wordpress most often is. What do you think? --Muhandes (talk) 17:38, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Muhandes, Jaya Mehta has indeed studied at SNDT. The wordpress blog (formerly it was a website) is reliable source because it itself draws information from reliably published works. The current SNDT info is also mentioned in Parichay Pustika (Introductory small book on writers and people published in Gujarati) and the blog had taken that info from it. The Gujarati book mentions that she has studied there. So its OK if you re-add here in alumni list. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 07:13, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

What you are saying is that the wodpres blog is a tertiary source to Parichay Pustika which is the secondary source. I much prefer to use the secondary source. Can you please create a citation to the book so we can use that? Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 09:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

@Muhandes:, Yes, this blog is tertiary source. The secondary source is Parichay Pustika. But I have not exact details to create reference on Parichay Pustika so I have to use it. I would have preferred secondary source too. BTW other reference Brahmabhatt (Gujarati and offine) also mentions that she had studied at SNDT so you can re-use it to cite that she had studied at SNDT. Regards,--Nizil (talk) 04:18, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Great, I'll use that one. --Muhandes (talk) 10:08, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Jaya Mehta

Thanks for creating Jaya Mehta. It looks interesting. Just trying to confirm the person is alive, right? --Titodutta (contact) 16:00, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

@Titodutta:, Thank you. I believe that she is alive. I know her only from references and I could not locate any reference telling that she is not alive. I wonder why did you ask such question. The latest reference is dated 2010 and she must be 86 years old now. I will try to confirm from a friend who has contacts in literary circles. Regards,--Nizil (talk) 04:38, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

My friend confirmed me that she is alive and living in Mumbai. Regards,--Nizil (talk) 06:44, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

• Missed this post. Let me try to recall why I asked this: the article started with "Jaya Vallabhdas Mehta was" and there was Living people" category. I tried to check on web but that did not help a lot. Was just trying to confirm. I sometimes spend time and check articles at WP:INNEW, your recent article on a temple looks good, thanks for creating it. Regards. --Titodutta (talk) 11:16, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

@Amorymeltzer:, I know about proposed alignment of AFC and NPP.

I am OK with joining NPP as a part of alignment process. Regards,--Nizil (talk) 04:46, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Unlike the AfC request list, the NPR flag carries no obligation to review new articles, so we are not asking you to help out at New Page Patrol if you don't want to, just to request the flag. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 06:37, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

OK. I will wait for a day. Then file a request. Thanks for clarification. Hope AFC/NPP together make our article approval/patroll process easier and better. @Insertcleverphrasehere:.-Nizil (talk) 06:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello Nizil Shah. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:30, 11 April 2018 (UTC) ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:30, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

The "Did You Know...?" Reviewer's Barnstar

Thank you for your work in evaluating articles that are submitted for review so they can be mentioned in the DYK section of Wikipedia’s Main Page. I have often wondered why reviewers often don't get accolades for their work since they often put in as much time as those who improve content. The effort needed to participate in this area of Wikipedia is significant. I don't think most other editors realize what a service you are doing to help showcase new, expanded or recently promoted GA articles. What you do provides an incentive for new and experienced editors to continue improvement and creation of content. I find my curiosity piqued by the DYKs. You do a great job and help me gain insight into the range of topics that Wikipedia covers. You’ve put in the time and effort to improve content and therefore deserve recognition and appreciation.

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:

• Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
• Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
• Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
• SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
• Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
• Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
• Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. 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; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

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). 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 your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Invitation to participate in study

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 20:45, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
• Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
• SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. 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; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

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