Uh

Ugliness is a synonym to unattractiveness, thus making your draft pointless. Le Panini ^Talk 15:11, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@Le Panini: Oh. Thanks for letting me know. Oh, also, you should know: Seven of Nine is from Star Trek, not Marvel. 😉

Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 21:08, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Um, also I think I figured out the problem I had with my User Page and my Sandbox. When I tried to welcome a new User, that also didn't work. So I think I can't create new pages. Not sure why. Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 21:15, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Ex-Borg Seven of Nine, Wait; Star Trek? Dang. Le Panini ^Talk 22:23, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@Le Panini: Star Trek Voyager, to be exact. Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 22:26, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

But she's also in Star Trek:Picard Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 22:28, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Btw, I love your collection of hilarious Teahouse questions. 'Specially "Capichino" and "Turkey" lol. 😄 Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 22:46, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Ex-Borg Seven of Nine, Yes, the ones where the hosts collaborate as well are fun to read. Happy editing! Le Panini ^Talk 23:02, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Custom sigs

I didn't want to overwrite your sandbox content so I'm posting here instead. I couldn't get proper cursive to render unfortunately. Do let me know if you've seen it working elsewhere.

Ex-Borg Seven of Nine _talk

Ex-Borg Seven of Nine ^talk

'Talk' will appear blue, it's just black because this is your talk page. I can override it but the sig will be much longer. The pink is faint on that second one but it's there. I can make it stand out more but I'd have to use non-responsive units and I'm not sure how they would appear on mobile. If there's any issues with your sig just blame me and i'll blame a lack of caffiene. Don't feel obliged to use those sigs, creating your own is fun. Zindor (talk) 14:33, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

@Zindor: thanks! It's not exactly what is was picturing, but not bad! Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 14:48, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Let me know if there are improvements I can make. There's limitations within wikitext, but I might know how to make the changes. Zindor (talk) 14:53, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

@Zindor: Okay. The pink is a bit grey, but that's about it. Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 15:05, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hm, when I paste the wikitext in, it says there are problems with the input? Something about ending span tags. Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I'll look into it. I was using a different method than usual. Gimme a few mins. Zindor (talk) 15:20, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok, worked it out. I was trying an old school method to keep it shorter but must not work anymore. I'm having so much grief from my computer it'll be while before I can fix it. Zindor (talk) 15:26, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

@Zindor: Okay, thanks. Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 18:23, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Oh hey, User:Bastique has cursive! Only on the first letter though. Ex-Borg Seven of Nine (talk) 12:35, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2021 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page. Any questions on the rules or on anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. We thank Vanamonde93 and Godot13, who have retired as judges, and we thank them for their past dedication. The judges for the WikiCup this year are Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:10, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I need some help!

What is the point system for the WikiCup? How do I get points?

Rosefeather of WindClan (talk) 13:53, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi. The details of the contest can be viewed at Wikipedia:WikiCup, its scoring at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and its past newsletters at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:31, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

By the way, here's a little trick for navigation. Just about any feature of Wikipedia that is a part of the interface or that is mentioned behind the scenes by regular editors that has a fairly standardized name it's designated with, or called by, will almost always have a page at "Wikipedia:Name Used" (sometimes these pages may be in the Help: or other namespace, but the format "Wikipedia:Name Used" will still work as invariably redirecting to the correct page). Another trick here is to combine with this that "WP" works as an alias for "Wikipedia", saving typing time.

I have in a way proved the point already in this post – because the (piped links <--- I just did it again, with this link) I've provided above (and in this sentence) – to namespace, redirect and piped links respectively – were typed by me, and I knew would link to the right project pages without having to think about it, using: WP:namespace, WP:redirect and WP:Pipe. Additionally, almost always, there will be redirects for all versions of a given title a user is likely to type. Capitalization also usually doesn't matter.

So, all that is to say, since you already knew the name "WikiCup" when you asked your question above, you could have found it yourself by typing any of:

• Wikipedia:WikiCup or WIKIPEDIA:WIKICUP or WP:WikiCup or WP:WIKICUP
• Wikipedia:Wcup or WIKIPEDIA:WCUP or WP:Wcup or WP:WCUP
• Wikipedia:Cup or WIKIPEDIA:CUP or WP:Cup or WP:CUP
• Wikipedia:Wiki Cup or WP:Wiki Cup

or even a host of other variations of the name, so long as you followed the protocol of prefixing Wikipedia: / WP:. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:15, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

@Fuhghettaboutit: Thanks for the help! (Also I thought you should know that my autocorrect tried to change your name to Finger tab out it)

Thanks, Rosefeather of WindClan (talk) 14:37, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

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!

April 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Thor: Love and Thunder. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 03:13, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Your signature

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the link to your contributions in your signature does not work. Did you use the string Special:contribs/User:Macadamia of the LeafWings in the signature code, by any chance? The "User:" part shouldn't be there (compare: Special:contribs/User:Macadamia of the LeafWings and Special:contribs/Macadamia of the LeafWings), and I think that's why the link in your signature is broken.

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.

• The Rambling Man, with 1825 points from 3 featured articles, 44 featured article reviews, 14 good articles, 30 good article reviews and 10 DYKs. In addition, he completed a 34-article good topic on the EFL Championship play-offs.

• Gog the Mild, with 817 points from 3 featured articles on historic battles in Europe, 5 featured article reviews and 3 good articles.
• Hog Farm, with 659 points from 2 featured articles and 2 good articles on American Civil War battles, 18 featured article reviews, 2 good articles, 6 good article reviews and 4 DYKs.
• BennyOnTheLoose, a snooker specialist and new to the Cup, with 647 points from a featured article, 2 featured article reviews, 6 good articles, 6 good article reviews and 3 DYKs.

In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items.

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.

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, 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). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Hey! So I saw your username and I was curious what on earth a LeafWing is. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:33, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Blaze The Wolf: It's a Wings of Fire thing. A dragon tribe.

Ah ok! I've heard of Wings of Fire and thought that was what your name was after seeing your previous name was related to Warrior Cats (which I honestly despise but I will let people have their own opinions) but wanted to make sure that was actually what it was. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:09, 30 September 2021 (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.

Hey, I've listed you as missing because you haven't edited for 6 months. If you would like, I can remove you from the list. Rusty4321 ^{talk contributions log} 23:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Pyrrhia vs. Pantala

You say on your userpage that you are from Pyrrhia, in the info box. But you are a LeafWing! Shouldn’t you be from Pantala? 🤔

Shadestar474 ^(talk) 20:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

@Shadestar474 (talk page watcher) As said user isn't around currently, I'll answer this question.

While it could be an actual error, haven't you thought about Pantalan dragons migrating/immigrating to Pyrrhia?

Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 01:10, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

That’s a good point, @Rusty4321! Maybe they wanted to escape the tyranny of Queen Wasp and fled! Shadestar474 ^(talk) 02:11, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

@Shadestar474 I honestly hadn't thought about Queen Wasp! My mind was on the events of book thirteen and fourteen! Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 15:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Oh, where Luna got caught up in the wind storm and sailed all the way to Pyrrhia! That was a good book. Shadestar474 ^(talk) 18:23, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
