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:

  • Botswana 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.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
  • Republic of Venice 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.
  • England Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
  • England 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.

<I explained why so i guess your a employee at Uber or you hate lyft because i was removing negative content about lyft and i explained it was due to it affecting the stock price of Lyft http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Lyft&diff=1023097379&oldid=1023097005

Negatively affecting stock prices is not a valid reason to remove content. If you want it removed you need to prove, using reliable sources that the content is wrong -- Asartea Talk | Contribs 10:56, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Your revert on <Draft:North-East Asian Subregional Programme for Environmental Cooperation>

Dear Asartea,

Thank you very much for reviewing the draft "North-East Asian Subregional Programme for Environmental Cooperation" (in short, NEASPEC).

I learned the draft page has been speedily deleted upon the criteria for speedy deletion, particularly "unambiguous advertising". Could you kindly retrieve the deleted page for my future reference or improvement? (http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=User:NEASPEC&action=edit&redlink=1)

As a wiki beginner, it was really hard to create the page so I would like to keep the draft with sources and improve.

I also wonder how international organizations and private companies could have its wiki page as those pages have definitely function as not only encyclopedia but advertisement.

For your information, NEASPEC is operated by UN ESCAP East and North-East Asia Office as Secretariat and ENEA Office has its wiki page (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/UNESCAP_East_and_North-East_Asia_Office).

ENEA office is one of the subregional offices of UN ESCAP (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/United_Nations_Economic_and_Social_Commission_for_Asia_and_the_Pacific), which is one of the five regional commissions under the jurisdiction of UN ECOSOC (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/United_Nations_Economic_and_Social_Council).

United Nations also have its wiki page (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/United_Nations).

In this connection, I thought that creating a wiki page for NEASPEC did not violate wiki rules and regulations.

To improve the page for NEASPEC, could you please advise how those IOs and private companies have been accepted in Wiki?

And apologize if I leave the message in a wrong place. It is my first experience so still I am learning wiki tools.

NEASPEC (talk) 06:32, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

@NEASPEC: (talk page stalker) Hello, if you would like to retrieve the article, please go to WP:REFUND. But please bear in mind that articles on Wikipedia need to be written from a neutral point of view, and that paid editing is usually disallowed. ―sportzpikachu my talkcontribs 06:34, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Re: Not a paid editor

Hello Asartea,

I am not a paid editor. I have no financial interest and have not been compensated in any way regarding the KLSN-LP article. Further, KLSN was a 100% fully volunteer-run organization. No one received any compensation for their participation. The project has been shut down years ago. Please contact me with any other questions or concerns.

KLSN-LP Edits

Greetings Asartea,

Thank you for your recent quality edits to KLSN-LP. It is preferred to leave this article as you have currently edited it. Continuously adding or changing items by disgruntled and litigious former participants only serves to confuse readers and misrepresent the facts. The page should be locked. Please contact me with any questions.

PMChristopher (talk) 23:55, 20 May 2021 (UTC) PMChristopher

  • @PMChristopher: Hi, I'm Sammi Brie, a longtime editor on radio and television topics here on Wikipedia, and I'm writing to explain revisions I recently made to KLSN-LP. We are not a court of law, though it seems that people involved with this station have met in one. In the course of keeping an up-to-date encyclopedia, at times we must include verifiable content that may not be desirable for all people's reputations. This is why we have policies on neutral point of view, biographies of living persons, and conflicts of interest. I have used some of the sources (East Bay Times, The Press, FCC filings and letters) that were in previous article revisions, because these are reliable sources, and—though potentially not flattering to one or the other party—the information contained within is factual. We do not "lock" pages off from editing for indefinite time periods; we only do so temporarily and in cases of extreme vandalism or user disputes. I hope you understand that I have sought to strike a balance between points of view while incorporating information that meets our standards for inclusion on this encyclopedia. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 05:43, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


Hello Asartea,
The KLSN-LP page has been changed again. The person changing it is a disgruntled former volunteer who hopes to cast negative and false unsubstantiated aspersions on myself as the former general manager. I request that the recent edits be removed and your original edits from 5/19/21 be restored. Please feel free to contact me for any clarification.
@PMChristopher: Please read my comments above to you. I am not Jeff Brown; I am a longtime editor familiar with the topic area of radio stations and our policies and guidelines. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 05:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Your revert on Maya codices

  • Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Hi Asartea! At first I bristled at the thought I'd been copyvio'd, then looked further and understood the situation, well sort of. Special:Contributions/Hepromas has in four hours made more contribs than I have in a month. And on a wider range of articles than my ten years. I don't know if it's my business to report this curious behavior. Doug butler (talk) 11:07, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

@Doug butler: Hi Firefly and I have just gone through their contributions after that copyvio, and we unfortunately enough had to revert most of them.

Hello, I understand why you would delete the draft, but I do not think it cannot be edited to match Wikipedia standards. Is it possible if you'd reconsider? If its for the account name, I had a wrong misunderstanding on how wiki accounts work. --Cglobalc (talk) 06:03, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Your revert on Samuel A. Tannenbaum

Hi, Asartea- I am Dr Edward J Hyman, the Chief Forensic Officer and Scientific Director of the National Institutes of Forensic and Behavioral Sciences. I am the grandnephew of Sam Tannenbaum, the son of the daughter he never had, his beloved niece Edith Tannenbaum. Sam's son Herman was my mom's favorite cousin, and was such a prominent figure in our lives, that he was the second most frequent male in our house after our father, Herb Hyman. My brohter, mother, uncle, Michael Kazin, Alfred Kazin, and my father Herb Hyman were the sources. Any questions, you can call me at (xxx)xxx-xxxx, my cell, which is a better way to get hold of me than any other Thanks - Ed Hyman.

Hi. On Wikipedia we require all content to be supported by reliable sources, so we can verify the information. I reverted your addition to Samuel A. Tannenbaum because it lacked such sources, which are required, and because it didn't appear to be written in an encyclopedic tone. Also, being a family member of the subject of the article means you have a conflict of interest (simple guide here) towards the subject. Our policy on conflicts on interest requires you to disclose this when making any edits to a subject you have a conflict of interest with, and its highly encouraged you instead make edit requests on the articles talkpage, a guide to which can be found here, and a tool to assist you with making the actual request can be found here. I hope this helps you. -- Asartea Talk | Contribs 15:38, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 July newsletter

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. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; 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 (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this).

  • Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

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, Botswana The Rambling Man and New York (state) 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 Republic of Venice 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, England Lee Vilenski, Zulu (International Code of Signals) BennyOnTheLoose, Rwanda 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. George Floyd mural 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.
