WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  •   Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
  •   Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  •   FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
  •   TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  •   Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included   LunaEatsTuna,   Thebiguglyalien,   Sammi Brie,   Trainsandotherthings,   Lee Vilenski,   Juxlos,   Unexpectedlydian,   SounderBruce,   Kosack,   BennyOnTheLoose and   PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date 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 Needed.

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!

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women.

Anna Shcherbakova - Wikipedia

Hi Riley1012, I hope this find you well. I really appreciate what you have done on Anna Shcherbakova's Wikipedia. But could you please undo the latest revision? 'Cause you've removed so much of what we call truth, and all of this is good for Anna's reputation. GY095 (talk) 14:23, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello GY095. I can go through and explain the changes I made:
"However, with time, she became too nervous to watch her daughter's performances." This is about Anna's mother and not Anna herself. It is an unnecessary detail which is why I removed it
"Shcherbakova is the first female skater to land a quad Lutz with a positive grade of execution on 6 October 2018 at the 2nd stage of the 2018 Russian Cup." The ISU media guide doesn't state that it was a positive GOE, just that she was the first. I've added this information back that aligns better with what the source actually states
"She won her first Russian champion title at 14 years and seven months old, becoming the third-youngest Russian National champion in history." I initially removed this because I thought the source wasn't clear enough that she was the third youngest. But looking at it again, it says that everyone before 2008 was 18+. So I've added it back in.
"Additionally, she holds the distinction of being the first woman to accomplish this feat since the introduction of the ISU Judging system, replacing the 6.0 system, in 2004." The source provided doesn't show that she was the first to do so since the 6.0 system, it's just a source of the scoring system change. This information is already implied by the fact that the last skater to 3-peat was Slutskaya during the 6.0 era.
"With two flawless programs" In my opinion, this violates Wikipedia:NPOV. It is a stretch to describe anything as "flawless."
"Shcherbakova has graced the cover of numerous magazines." I changed the wording throughout this section from "graced" to "appeared" to make the language more neutral.
"Known for her diction and erudite manner of speech" The source provided is just a competition result that says nothing about her diction. This could be added back in if a better source is found.
"As of 29 November 2022, the total reach of the project exceeded 83 million and the number of interactions was over 173 thousand." These statistics are almost a year old which makes them outdated.

--Riley1012 (talk) 15:04, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Riley1012, thank you so much for your reply. I agree with the fifth, sixth and last changes, and thanks for the adding information back. For the fourth point, Irina Slutskaya was the last skater won the 3-peat Russian national title during the 6.0 system. The scoring system changed in 2004 and is still in use today, and Anna was the first skater who won the 3-peat Russian national title under ISU Juding System. I can't find any source that mentions Anna's achievement, even Russian sources. But the fact is that Anna achieves this goal. GY095 (talk) 15:34, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  •   Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  •   Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  •   Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

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 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Your GA nomination of Anna Shcherbakova

The article Anna Shcherbakova you nominated as a good article has passed  ; see Talk:Anna Shcherbakova for comments about the article, and Talk:Anna Shcherbakova/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.
