Guidance for the suggestion to improve the draft

Draft:Muhammad Ali Pasha Rubab.tahir239 (talk) 09:31, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Rubab.tahir239 and welcome! I am no expert in Pakistan-related topics myself, but I have a few tips to improving the draft: first, try looking over Wikipedia's Manual of Style to familiarize yourself with how Wikipedia articles are formatted - currently, your draft lacks sections to help separate information and might benefit from some. It might also be a good idea to review the Manual of style for biographies as well. Furthermore, ensure that everything is written in a neutral point of view as well - this is another area to improve on with your current draft as words such as "beautifully" and "profound emotions and sentiments" might not come across as neutral. Also, please make sure to cite from reliable sources and ensure that your topic meets the notability guideline and has significant coverage in multiple sources as well. Thanks and once again welcome to Wikipedia! ~delta ^{(talk • cont)} 05:20, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you. Rubab.tahir239 (talk) 09:35, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. 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 ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · 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.
