Rowling FLC

Huge thanks for mentioning my name on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of awards and nominations received by J. K. Rowling/archive1. I really don't deserve it though, far less than others. Can you remove? Thanks. Also, looking up your page, so cool to see you're working on the Farseer trilogy. It's on my stack of books to re-read. Actually all my Hobbs books are (the stack is actually a bookshelf). Best. Victoria (tk) 22:05, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Victoriaearle, sure; trimmed. I wasn't sure what the usual convention is (re. mentioning people's names). And it's nice to meet a fellow Hobb fan! Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 22:30, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

O-D, a reviewer had you remove all serial commas, but someone tells me serial commas are British English ? I’m not sure, just saying, in case it pops up, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:14, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

I thought that too, but serial comma says it's more American than British. Weird. Thanks for checking. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 02:31, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

I wasn’t sure myself … British English is Greek to me! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:35, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks

for Special:Diff/1065554137. I had been avoiding that. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 04:15, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

No problem; I had one of my refs to fix, and thought I might as well do the rest. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 04:51, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

I have started a draft on the section on race at User:AleatoryPonderings/sandbox. I'm not satisfied with it and I think I have given Gupta too much weight—he does make a very provocative argument though. When I sat down to read Barratt I was disappointed; she makes a lot of comparisons between Voldemort and Hitler that I find facile. doi:10.1353/uni.0.0488 was also kind of a bust. I'm sure there are other essays about the blood purity stuff in particular and I want to find them because this criticism leaves much to be desired. I hope Dark Fantastic is better. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 04:35, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Added some to mainspace in Special:Diff/1066274475. Turned out not to be so much about race as about the blood purity idea. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 16:06, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

@AleatoryPonderings: I finally got around to adding some material on this – not sure if that's what you had in mind, but I found it surprisingly well covered in sources. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 08:48, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I didn't have anything particular in mind and I did see some discussion of the house elf issue when I looked, but it seems I didn't look deep enough. As you may have noticed, I've not been editing much lately—a combination of increased real life obligations and wiki-fatigue. My sense is that not much more content remains to be written but if it does I will probably not be the one writing it. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 14:33, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

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.

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

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.

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).

Kidnapping of Peter Weinberger/GA1

Hello

I note that you promoted this article to GA status, when you had not conducted the review. The review process was still open and awaiting matters raised in the review. I will assume good faith that you were exploring Novem Linguae's script and that you reverted your action. Please take care with this tool, in future. --Whiteguru (talk) 21:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

@Whiteguru: Hello, yes it was an ipad misclick! Apologies for the trouble. I did not realize that the script would load on GANs where I was not the reviewer, and a stray finger on a touchscreen put it into action. I reverted myself immediately, so I trust everything’s ok now. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 22:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
• Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
• Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. 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 a good article nomination, 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!
