Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to June 2017 London attacks does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:23, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Caracas drone explosions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

An article you recently created, Filmography of Román Chalbaud, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article December 2018 Venezuela earthquakes has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
Thank you for uploading File:Manuel Trujillo Durán with name.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones (Talk) 17:52, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

You recently reverted my edit on the Venezuela crisis. Yes my edit was in good faith and designed to improve the article - thanks for mentioning that. While you are re-organising the references to substantiate what the article says can you also try to make the article read a lot better? It is like a dog's breakfast at the moment. I suppose this is because a lot is happening quickly and no one is taking ownership of the overall look of the article. Here are a few points that I noticed in the few minutes that that I spent looking at it:
1. There is a lot of repetition which could be removed
2. Why mention what other countries are doing in a sub-section entitled "United States"
3. I would be surprised if you found a source which said that Maduro had asked ALL Americans to leave the country - I think he restricted himself to US diplomats. I think I read somewhere that the US government may have suggested that US citizens would be better of leaving the country for safety reasons. Perhaps this is what was meant.
Anyway have fun with the editing.Burrobert (talk) 15:22, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Please see note on your DYK review. Yoninah (talk) 00:49, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
I noticed you undid my revert of cluebot III automatic archiving on Talk:Juan Guaidó. I moved the threads from the archives as the the automatic archiving was clearly incorrectly configured. SandyGeorgia's edit summary when setting the archiving from 25 days to 30 hours implies that she did not know that the age was measured in hours. None of the threads on the talk page were older than 15 days, so, if the archive was correctly configured, none would have been archived until February. Furthermore, one of the archived threads was an open edit request, which needs to be responded to. I have moved the threads back to the talk page in the meantime. Danski454 (talk) 20:04, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
What you call "heavily name-dropping sources" on wikipedida is referred to as WP:ATTRIBUTION, see also WP:QUOTE. All direct quotes should be attributed. I'm typically not very good at doing that, but I try. I also choose generally to use quotes from notable people.
Also, I try to keep articles I edit and watch up to standard vis-a-vis policy and guideline. You used no edit summary on this edit, but the text contains old accessdates, suggesting that you may have taken the text from other articles. Whenever you are copying text from one article to another, you should include that information, and a link to the article you copied from, in the edit summary.
Thanks for attempting better section headings on the media quotes ... I struggled with that for a long time, and for NPOV, also spent hours scouring the internet trying to find something negative on the dude. There's not much! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:55, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
In my experience, auto-archiving doesn't work on articles with a very high level of activity. If archiving faster than 7 days is necessary, it's best to do it manually with OneClickArchiver. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:50, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that a discussion was opened in the reliable sources noticeboard regarding the reliability of Telesur. I thought you might be interested in participating. --Jamez42 (talk) 13:01, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Kingsif, could you look at this response to my ping at Elcobbola's talk on commons? During the years I was the Featured Articles delegate, Elcobbola was the number one image reviewer, and I respect his opinions on images to the utmost. I managed to never have to dig in to any commons/image stuff, because I had so many excellent people on it at FAC, so I never really learned it thoroughly (actually, image stuff scares the crap out of me, because I don't want to violate copyright!) Notice his reasoning. I questioned my own lawyer about whether the word "entity" might typically be used to describe a person; he said never. So it is beginning to look like that image is gonna have to go. It seems like someone should be able to write to someone and just get a better image. Maybe me if I find time! Or @ZiaLater: or @Jamez42:. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:37, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
By the way: have a look at the images here: Maduro is facing to the left so he should have been placed on the other side of Guaido, so that he is facing the entire article instead of having his back to Guiado ... just in case we end up with another combined photo, that's a Manual of Style thingie. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:10, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Figured I'd respond on your talk page instead of dragging out the discussion at ITN/C. Not trying to be condescending, just trying to make my point, which was: There was no doubt that the story is being covered by WP:RS, but that is not the same as a story being "in the news". I look to the big aggregators Google and Bing, and the main pages of various sources to see if a story is featured. This one wasn't. --LaserLegs (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!
WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recent research has re-opened the debate on Wikipedia's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.
Thank you for your participation in the RFC, and I hope to see you at WP:CEN soon! –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:05, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi Kingsif. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. ~Swarm~ {sting} 03:56, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Welcome, Kingsif to the New Page Patrol team.
Congratulations on receiving the New Page Patrol user permission and on becoming a part of the patroller community. Our mission is to accurately, rather than quickly, handle the new articles which are created. As you begin to patrol it's natural to have lots of questions. Feel free to ask on my talk page or ask for thoughts in the New Page Patroller IRC channel #wikimedia-npp connect or on our Discord server (invite link). We also regularly discuss issues and topics surrounding New Page Patrolling at the NPP discussion page and I would invite you to join us there. I hope you find NPP as rewarding as I do and, again, welcome to the community. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 06:39, 5 July 2019 (UTC) |
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Aura Rivas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.venevision.com/estrella/aura-rivas. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi,
I contested the speedy deletion of Muhammad Rafiq (retired army). What is the main concern here? Multiple sources coverage are not enough to recognize the credibility? The deeds by the person are also commented as heroic in almost all media outlet that covered the story due to the nature of what happened, so it is challenging to be competently 'neutral' in such a piece of writing. Any suggestion is appreciated. Sattar91 (talk) 13:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello Kingsif. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Muhammad Rafiq (retired army), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: quite possibly WP:BLP1E but also clearly covered extensively in reliable sources, so take it to WP:AFD instead.

"[V]ariously suggesting different likelihoods" - this is awkward English. Nothing wrong with my suggested edit.
Your last corrections "(don't think Trujillo hired a guy after he was dead, and he's not the only one; made stops around Venezuela before Colombia; "not only... also" set phrasing, and change 'for' to 'as' (for implies truth, as allows for mere appearance) because we know it isn't true even though they published it)" are just wrong.

Hello:
I've now completed the c/e of Un célebre especialista.... I have a couple of observations if I may. Despite the fact a GA reviewer liked how the Notes were set up, I doubt this will fly at an FA review. I suggest you format them as I did and if you are concerned about readability put "Review text" and "English" in bold type.
I have reinstated "Director" instead of "Directorship". I checked many online dictionaries and can find no use of "directorship" except as it relates to the running of a corporation. Perhaps a better heading would be "Production"?
In the "Modern Critical Views" section you quote Farrell suggesting the film led to many more being produced. Then this sentence: "However, Michael Chanan suggests that Venezuela was typical of Latin American nations, many of which did not follow early films with continued production." This apparently contradicts Farrell. Does Chanan mean films for entertainment rather than propaganda? Then this sentence- "Chanan also uses a case study to show that some early documentaries were missing for many decades, which suggests there may be a rich trove of hidden historical films."-where he is contradicting himself. I think adding "of films for entertainment" to the "Chanan suggests" sentence might make this clearer.
Best of luck going forward with the FAR.

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

Kingsif, thanks for all the GA reviewing you've been doing.
I noticed you had a query recently about the bot not putting a GA icon on the article you'd recently passed. Legobot, the bot that handles GAN processing at the moment, is a long-standing and not-well-supported bot with a number of idiosyncracies. There's hope that we'll get a new bot someday, but for now, here's how the bot works and why this particular issue is occurring.
Legobot expects that it will have done certain steps along the way. When a reviewer first creates the review page, Legobot, which runs every 20 minutes, notices that a new review page has been created, and as part of its tasks, goes to the article talk page, inserts "onreview" into the GA nominee template's status parameter, and transcludes the new review page at the bottom of the talk page. If someone else gets there first and inserts "onreview" or "onhold" prior to the bot putting in "onreview" itself, the bot thinks there's a problem. Or, at least, it doesn't add the review transclusion, because the status field is filled, so its work must have been done already. So when it comes time for later changes, in particular the end of the review where the GA nominee template is replaced by the GA or FailedGA template (indicating the review passed or failed), it doesn't recognize the review as passing or failing because everything it expects isn't in place; instead, it treats it as a "Miscellaneous" action (according to Legobot's edit summary) and simply removes the entry from the GAN page, so there is no message to the nominator of passing or failing nor (if passing) adding an icon to the article.
The key thing, going forward, is to not add "onreview" yourself to the GA nominee template—it should never be necessary when opening a review. Ideally, if your initial review goes straight to a hold, you wait to add the "onhold" (no space) until the bot has had a chance to add "onreview" first, but it can be inconvenient to wait around for that. Perhaps doing an initial save of a near-empty review page to create it, and then writing the review and saving again, will allow enough time for the bot to do its initial work.
Should we ever get a new bot, this may not be an issue, but for now the bot has its expectations, and it helps to follow the process it expects. Another example: the top section of the review page should not be specially modified during creation or afterward, since the bot parses it for reviewer information that it then puts in the GAN-page entry. Bots are great time-savers, but they're essentially limited in what they can deal with.
Sorry this wasn't better news, but at least now you'll know. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:22, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest | ![]() |
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Hi, in the paragraph quoting Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the phrase "the Dáil Éireann" sounds odd because in Ireland we usually refer to it in English as "the Dáil" or "Dáil Éireann" but it would be unusual to say "the Dáil Éireann". The upper house is usually referred to as "the Seanad" or "an Seanad". ("An" being the appropriate definite article in Irish.) Together the two houses are known as "Tithe an Oireachtais" (roughly: houses of the assembly of free men) or "the Oireachtas" (even though technically the latter includes the President also). .

If read literally, there was nothing funny about the "gallows humour" at Grays. The transport trailer really is the star this time, not the cab. As long as you appreciate this on that factual level, I suppose deleting the film-like undertones doesn't hurt anyone. I can't figure out a thumbs up, either, but I think I can make a camel. 🐫?

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 802 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Thank you for uploading File:Casa-de-las-Flores-cast.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The fact was ... that subjects of Venezuelan films of the 1890s include a dentist pulling teeth in a hotel and a man getting into a brawl with a stagecoach driver? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello Jonathunder,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Calvin Brown for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Yes, but you are still entirely missing the point. Calvin Brown had always been a redirect to Calvin L. Brown since I created both of them ten years ago. This month another newbie made one of them into a promotional page and you promptly marked it for speedy deletion without looking at the history. I have undone all that, so no harm done, but going forward, please just look at the history before deleting things. Jonathunder (talk) 21:40, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey Kingsif. I think we have encountered a similar problem as the one we had with the Venezuelan refugee crisis article. With the Latin American Spring, it occurred in two waves according to sources, just like how the refugee crisis has happened in waves. The 2019 Latin American protests is currently the second wave. I see that there are current concerns about 2018 events transferring over to 2019. That is a valid concern, as the second wave of the "spring" began in 2018.
This is a possible scenario going forward:

Thanks for uploading File:House of Flowers The Funeral poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:42, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

In response to your request for arbitration of this issue, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.
Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.
In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the community if you have more questions. CodeLyokotalk 01:15, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Because of the last edits by the dynamic IP, I wanted to give an advice to patroll these edits. You may know that dynamic IPs change constantly. They usually consists in around 31 characters divided by colons (eg: 0000:1111:222:3333:4444:5555:6666). To see all the edits between these changes, you can look after the "range" of the IP, replacing the last four sections with a zero, followed and ended with "/64" (eg: 0000:1111:222:0:0:0:0/64). This means that the last IP's range is written as 2600:1700:720:8340:0:0:0:0/64 (list of edits), although it seems that there have not been edits besides the ones belonging to the original IP. I think you're currently a more active editor than I am, so I trust your judgement and capacity to keep an eye on this if you wish.
If you want to, you may also want to familiarize yourself with the sockpuppet investigations of Apollo The Logician. Best regards! --Jamez42 (talk) 22:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for my behavior at the "A Tree Grows in Guadalajara" GAN, and thank you for the review. You raised a lot of important points that would need to be addressed to improve the article. I have been incredibly stressed lately, but that is no excuse for my behavior. While I do not agree with all of your suggestions, I really do appreciate the time and energy you took to do the review in the first place.

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Hi Kingsif. I see you undid my recent change to Don't I Know You? Please be aware that making minor changes to quotes is acceptable. Firstly you will see that the original editor has replaced 'Weberwiese Station' with '[platform]'. You will also find information here as to when quotes may be corrected. I quote; Note that MOS:QUOTE says that "trivial spelling and typographic errors should simply be corrected without comment..." In this case I have changed your 'sic' entry to encapsulate the word in question. This helps tools with their functional processing. Regards Neils51 (talk) 21:37, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello Kingsif, I see you reverted my edit at Caracas Metro line 1 RDT, however it's the common practice for these diagrams to use the blue set of BSicons for urban rail transit - light rail and rapid transit, regardless of whether they're underground or not - and the red set for main railway lines. The five metro lines in Metro de Caracas's system are full fledged rapid transit, all operating with an homogeneous technological standard (ROW, rolling stock, signalling, etc.): using the color of the icons to differentiate them in the diagrams because of one being actual underground
and the other ones are not, is rather incongruous - as well as quite arbitrary, since AFAIK also line 4 lies entirely under the ground. In order to point out that this specific line run partly above ground (although, to be fair, it mostly doesn't: a couple of stations out of 22 in total is less than 10%), there are specific icons for tunnel (,
,
, etc.) that can be used to describe this feature. Regards and best wishes for happy Holidays, Yak79 2.0 (talk) 12:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Kingsif, I noticed your very generous offer to take on GA reviews by request under certain circumstances, and I was wondering whether that might extend to nominations that have been effectively abandoned by their original reviewers and need someone to take over. Some of these are quite old, and may need what amounts to a complete new review; some are old but progress had been made on addressing issues before the reviewer disappeared.
If you're willing, I can post links to a few of the oldest ones below, along with a summary of their current situation; if any strike your fancy, it would be great if you could take them on when you have time. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

The picture of Melani Olivares in Template:Did you know nominations/Welcome to the Family (2018 TV series) was bothering me as a little dark, so I thought I would lighten it; then I realized it was from a video, and I thought I might be able to find a better frame.

I think it is more meaningful to use the screenshot, than a logo cutout. Neither of the two images really has an exceptional quality.

Hi! I haven't had the chance to thank you for your insight in the AN/I. :) Thanks.
I just translated the Ana Lucrecia Taglioretti article, a blind Paraguayan violinist, from Spanish into English after learning that Women in Red had "Women who died in 2019" as a theme this month.
Taglioretti died his year and I'm not sure if it is still in the scope of the month, but I was wondering if you were interested with doing some proofreading as well as one of your delightful DYK nominations.
Best regards and many thanks in advance! --Jamez42 (talk) 15:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your note on my talk page and interest in cooperative WP:NPOV work that improves the articles when we are both there. Yes, I might join the Venezuela project and try to post messages at the noticeboard there when there are disagreements and we need more eyes.
I think it is only fair to let you know that at times I have had similar concerns about your ability to summarize WP:RS neutrally when it comes to articles related to Juan Guaido, Nicholas Maduro, Crisis in Venezuela, etc. I noticed this early on when I put an neutrality issue on Juan Guaido. In trying to understand how the article got to be the way it was at the time, I saw edits from you like this that seemed to me to show a pro-Guaido bias not representative of the WP:RS, particularly writing in Wiki voice that "he was sworn in" when the RS says that he swore himself in at a public rally--to the surprise of some people on the stage with him--and that few Venezuelan's knew who he was when he did this, because he never ran for President and was only recently elevated to the be head of the Assembly. I think that article and many others about the politics have a pro-Guaido bias, and I believe that your edits have contributed to that to some extent.
That said, I don't think your edits compare to my concerns I expressed in the recent AN/I case I filed about another editor.
I should also point out that I have been concerned about the systematic elimination of WP:RS that is critical of Guaido and supportive of Maduro. (I believe others have said it was elimination of sources that are anti-war--which may also be true.) I explained at WP:RS/N:
When I wrote that, although I did not identify any specific editors, you were one of the editors I was concerned about because of your early !votes against Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) (vote #4), TeleSUR (vote #4), HispanTV (vote #4). All of your edits to RS/N are limited to these sources: TeleSURTeleSURTeleSurHispanTVCEPRCEPRCEPR, except FOIA request. Although your reasoning may be otherwise, it gives me the impression that you (and some of the others who are active on Venezuelan politics) might have voted that way because you do not like the reporting that is critical of Guaido or supportive of Maduro or might be "too leftist". I find this reasoning for declaring a source completely or mostly unreliable a big problem not just for the Venezuela articles but for all of the project, especially if we want to be WP:NPOV and present all significant points of view. A number of other editors agreed with me that those RfC's declaring sources unreliable are a big problem. --David Tornheim (talk) 01:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

The test you just added is impressive. beautifully written. However I need to point out that one of the sources you used, Artepoli, offers artists the chance to publish a paid critical review for around 67 Euros. "ARTEPOLI offers: The possibility of presenting a criticism, review or article about his work (maximum 800 words) for printing with at least 2 photographs of his paintings (or fragment, in the case of one of them, if it is beneficial for design). The article would occupy double page. If the text is smaller (600 words, for example) there is an opportunity to incorporate a third work or to increase its size." So it is clearly not a relaible source. Reliable sources do not offer paid placement of reviews. Also, you deleted a source I had added.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
@ThatMontrealIP: Are we considering Artepoli completely non-RS; I can't remember if the other article was in the print magazine, but this, with more bio of Novella, as well, was in the print publish version, with an author's name, so seems like this is a proper editorial piece. I only ask because you seem to know about the source. Kingsif (talk) 04:48, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Excuse me, @Kingsif:. Do not allow editing that false information in the article 2019 Latin American protests is a Wikipedia policy? Maintaining a map with false information is a Wikipedia policy? Pretending that Belize and Guyana is part Latin America is a Wikipedia policy? If it is not a revolution, why does the article have the Revolution banner?

Kingsif, thanks again for taking on all of the reviews I've passed along to you. I thought it was time to let that one archive and start a new one, if that's okay.
I'm just requesting one at the moment, and it's a bit of an awkward one. We have a new reviewer (who is also a new editor altogether) who bit off more than they could chew (for background see WT:GA#New reviewer); they've passed a number of nominations in reviews with very little commentary, or that miss basic issues. Their first review was summarily reversed, this was their second review, which was opened and passed in just under an hour and subsequently nominated at DYK. The DYK reviewer marked this as problematic due to the kerfuffle regarding the GA reviewer, which I hadn't seen because I check the GAN talk page (where this discussion should have gone) and when I went to check the article a few hours ago I found the prose anything but "clear and concise" with clear grammatical issues. Under the circumstances, I reversed the pass and reopened the nomination. I'm hoping you'll be willing to take it on; I couldn't tell whether the problems were fixable with a good copyedit (a GOCE request, perhaps), or more fundamental, but I thought it needed an experienced reviewer regardless.
Thank you for whatever you can do here. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, I was wondering whether you could look at Talk:Alan Dershowitz/GA1. It was taken by a first-time reviewer and said to be passed after a few hours, but the reviewer was so inexperienced they still haven't actually passed it. In the edit before they opened the review they nominated The Right Side of History at GAN, which turned out to be far from meeting the GA criteria when it was reviewed at Talk:The Right Side of History/GA1. It's this clear lack of understanding regarding their own article, plus not finding any issue at all (not even a missing comma), that raised alarm bells with me.
Thanks for whatever you can do here. It seemed a good idea, given how prominent the subject has been lately, to be careful. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:47, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

I just realized this is an overdue barnstar, given that you're virtually the founder of the Venezuelan cinema task force and all of the effort you have put into the area.
You have done a marvelous work starting the Macu, The Policeman's Wife article, as well as many others about Venezuelan movies and film directors.

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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.
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!

Hello There,
As a recent changes patroller, I would like to know if we include "Suspended" after an airline's destination on an airport's WP article. A series of constant edits done by 188.174.167.5 (talk), appeared to be removing the "SUSPENDED" keyword after an airline's destination. (See Glasgow Airport)
A confrontation about this edit which could be found on my talk page, had 188.174.167.5 (talk) telling me that there is a particular 'consensus' on this issue.
I would like to know where exactly has this consensus been agreed upon, probably a link to a WP discussion could help.
Best Regards,

Kingsif, I know you're quite busy right now, and a new GA review opened by Happypillsjr may take a fair amount of your time as mentor to make sure it stays on track.
I was hoping however, that you'd be willing to take over the oldest review, Talk:Vastupala/GA1. It has been open for nearly ten months, and was originally nominated nearly five months before that (297 and 447 days respectively). Winged Blades of Godric has finally agreed, on their talk page, for me to find a new reviewer since they're not getting anywhere, so I'm turning to you. The nominator posted in February that they'd addressed all the issues previously raised, but some questions of the reviewer were never responded to and I imagine there's more the reviewer never covered.
Please let me know! Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:19, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, earlier this month you took over an abandoned review, Talk:Battle of Arachova/GA1, and took it to completion. That same reviewer left another abandoned review, Talk:Raymond III, Count of Tripoli/GA1, last edited on February 16, and has made no Wikipedia edits since February 24. (The nominator responded on February 17 that they'd dealt with the issues raised, and the reviewer had indicated that it was just about ready to be approved, but it's been hanging since then.) If you could finish it off, that would be great. It's the last review left hanging by this reviewer. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:36, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
After you're done with that, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take on Talk:Martinus (son of Heraclius)/GA1, which is currently the oldest extant review, having been opened last August 10.

Kingsif, I noticed that you opened and closed a GAR on Flagstaff, Arizona, in a very short period of time. I'm afraid this is not allowed under the GAR process.
If you'll look on the WP:GAR page, you'll see that there are two forms of GARs: individual and community. Individual reassessments are actually far more efficient, but there are very definitive process requirements, including an extended period for comments and work from other people. Indeed, as the person conducting the reassessment, you are supposed to notify all of the interested parties (original nominator, most recent reviewer, perhaps the person who conducted the last reassessment (if it was an individual one), significant contributors, and all the relevant WikiProjects. Please be sure to follow all of the steps from 5 on down.
Even if an article is in rough shape, the goal of a reassessment is to try to get the article to the point that it meets the GA criteria again. This is not always possible in seven days, which is the minimum time you should allow the various stakeholders once they've been notified, to improve the article—and if they're making good progress, let them have more time as you would in a GAN review. If nothing happens in that week, or progress is too slow or the quality is clearly inadequate, then the reassessment can be closed and the article delisted, but it stays a GAN until the reassessment finally closes, at which point it either stays a GA or is delisted.
I did revert your delisting, so the reassessment remains open. Once you've notified all the parties—I've made upwards of a dozen on some reassessments I've opened—then the clock can start ticking. Best of luck!

Kingsif, in case you're looking for more abandoned GA reviews to take over, there are a number that could use attention. In some cases, a "second opinion" has been requested where it's really a call for a new reviewer, either because the reviewer disappeared or has withdrawn.
I've made status queries on over half a dozen GA reviews that seem to have stalled; if any of these turn out to be because the reviewers are no longer interested, I'll be back to make additional requests.
I was also wondering whether you'd be interested in offering to mentor any newer reviewers. I realize things weren't very rewarding with Happypillsjr, but there are two reviewers where I recently reverted their passages of the GAs and reopened them because of what was missed. I have no idea whether they'd be interested, but I'm listing (and pinging) them below in case they are.
Thank you very much for everything. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, thanks for stepping up and dealing with so many older DYK reviews. It's much appreciated.
I wanted to check to be sure you were doing the neutrality checks on hook and article, reviewing the article sourcing (no unsourced paragraphs and no bare URL sources), and also the critical close paraphrasing/copyvio/plagiarism check. You probably are, but I didn't see any mention of it in your reviews that I glanced at when I realized someone was finally taking care of the older ones. It really helps when you mention doing those checks, because promoters to prep know that it has at least been checked by the reviewer. Lately, it's been hard to use Earwig's copyvio checker—it's frequently offline or incredibly slow—so spotchecking sources against the article is all one can do, really, unless you use the WMFLabs Dup Detector, which can compare one source against the article.
Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 00:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey! Here is I think the main idea I would emphasize about the criteria for and nature of a good/featured topic: A lot of people who first hear about the idea say, "Well, there are at least three good articles related to <topic>, so I guess that's a Good Topic," but a G/FT has to fill a defined scope, and that scope can't just be "whatever articles happen to be at least G/FA". The idea, rather, is that you would ask yourself a priori, "What articles would need to be in a set to comprehensively cover this topic?", without any reference to whether those articles currently exist or are of high quality. Then, if all the articles you named do exist and are of at least GA quality, then you've got a Good Topic. If not, you can try to get them there! I just did this for Estuaries of Texas: I defined the scope as "the seven major estuaries along the Texas coast, as defined by the state", and then set out to get all of those articles to GA, and then nominated it.
So, your first step in creating a G/FT is to define its scope. The scope can be changed later; for example, recently we had a FT of all the battleships Germany ever built. Then, someone went and improved to FA-quality the articles about a handful of battleships that Germany ordered but that were never actually finished and launched. They then proposed, "Why don't we expand the scope of this topic to include these incomplete battleships, too?" And the proposal got support, and the topic was expanded. So, the scope of a topic can be expanded after the fact with a supplemental nomination, if there's a new, larger scope that also makes sense (and all the articles in it are of high enough quality). One good clue as to whether some articles are all part of a well-defined "topic" that one might conceive of a priori is that there would probably be a category named for the topic that would contain all of those articles! For this reason, Featured Topic Criterion 1(c) requires that the articles all share a common category or super-category.
So, if we were to define the scope of a topic about Manuel Trujillo Durán, what would its scope be? Since he's notable as a photographer and filmmaker, then probably all of his notable (or at least major) works; maybe also locations that played a key role in his life and career, if the articles clearly established that strong connection; possibly a key artistic collaborator? If all of these articles really had that strong a connection to him, then they would probably already be in a Category:Manuel Trujillo Durán, or at least it should make sense to create such a category and put them in it. As an example, the only G/FT I currently see about an artist or architect is Wikipedia:Featured topics/John Douglas, and it consists of his bio article and a series of feature lists of his notable works, so making a FL about Durán's works would be another good way to cover this scope.
Likewise, if we wanted to define the scope of a topic about Un célebre especialista ..., the only example I currently see of a topic about a specific film is Wikipedia:Featured topics/Evita (1996 film), which consists of the film's article, a FL of awards it received, a GA about its soundtrack (since it's a musical), and then GAs about notable singles from the soundtrack. So, looking at the article on Un célebre especialista ..., it would be tough to assemble a topic on this one, since it doesn't have a known director, and it doesn't necessarily look like there's enough commentary about it write a separate article about, say, critical reaction to it, or its historical impact.
I'll tell you what does look like a potential topic to me, though: was the screening of those four films on 28 January 1897 a notable event? One of the articles describes it as the "birth of the Venezuelan film industry." If so, maybe you could write an article about that event and get it to GA, then add on the articles about the four films screened and the Baralt Theatre, and have a credible Good Topic candidate. The question would be, is there significant enough news/scholarly coverage of that film screening to argue that it was a notable event and write a Good Article about it? Was it a big enough deal to merit its own category, which the other articles would go in? That I don't know. In summary, articles make sense as elements of a topic if they are strongly enough associated with that topic that it would be reasonable to put the articles in a category named for that topic.
Anyway, I hope this helps! I think WP's Good/Feature Topic system is really interesting, and I wish it got more visibility. I'm happy to answer any more questions you have about the process, and I wish you success in creating your first topic! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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 rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim 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).

Don't know why you didn't understand the purpose of the list when you made your edit, but:
"List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2020s" = series that premiered in the 2020s.
"List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2010s" = series that premiered in the 2010s.
If a series premiered in 2018, it belongs in one list only: the 2010s list. New main and recurring LGBT characters can appear in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, etc. -- it doesn't matter. New seasons of a series can include new LGBT characters but the year the series premiered doesn't change, and the series belonging only in the list for that year doesn't change. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 07:59, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Maybe the "purpose of the list" from your point of view should be in a bold hatnote at the top of the page if you don't want it to be misunderstood?" The "purpose of the list" is in the title of the list. A list for 2020s television series is a list about television series of the 2020s. What is misunderstandable about that?
assume I was editing willfully against your rule". I have no "rule" -- I only have observation and deduction: a series that premiered in the year of a particular decade belongs within that decade, under the year for it.

Your recent editing history at File:Paulina de la Mora s1e1.png shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Kingsif, it's been a while, but there hasn't been that much to report. I do have a new one, however: Talk:Troll (Middle-earth)/GA1. The original reviewer has turned editor—or, at least said that they were, but hasn't actually made any edits to the article as yet. I was hoping that you could become the new reviewer, but did want to let you know about the previous review commentary before you started, since you'll probably want to review it. (There were also comments by another editor, but they never came back to add more.) Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, reviewer MonkeyStolen234 has put this up for a second opinion, and I was hoping you could take a look. I was also hoping, while you were doing so, you could take a look at the article in general, and also the other five that they opened for review today (well, May 17 UTC) and passed in short order and with minimal comment, though some article edits were made on at least one reviewed article by the reviewer. Today was only their second day of reviewing, though they have been around for a while; their first review was on Friday (the only one that day), and I think they intended to pass it but never edited the article talk page. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to look into this in greater depth; it was the reviews of Davido and Wyangala that caught my eyes, since they were the oldest unreviwed nominations when they were taken for review.

Kingsif, this is an odd one: the reviewer made a post complaining of serious issues on April 5, but hasn't edited since; the nominator has never responded to the review at all despite getting the usual "review starting" message from the bot, though they are quite active. Can you take a look, see whether the review was at all on point, and perhaps give the nominator a ping to see whether they're willing to address any issues? It would be nice to get this one decided one way or another. Many thanks, and apologies for continuing to send things your way. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:20, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

So the number one bullet of your reasons for failing this article was this edit? You claim that it suggests that "the article is still unclear even at the basic level of 'what is earth-return telegraphy'." Really? that was a copyedit of the short description, not even visible on the page. Your implication seems to be that the article is so unclear that the editor who wrote the short description, user:John M Wolfson, did not understand it. Well let's ask him shall we? It seems to me that you were just groping at straws for reasons to fail an article written by an editor who you have fallen out with. SpinningSpark 09:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I removed your COI tag on Scroll (web service). So far I'm the only editor and I have no relation to the company, so there's no reason for a COI tag. I made the page after the most recent Firefox update, which notifies you of Scroll integration if you make an account. After I signed up for it I noticed there was no Wikipedia page for it so I went ahead and made it. It's just a piece of software I like. I left up your advert tag — while I personally think the tone of the page matches the tone in the articles I derived it from, that judgment is best left to consensus opinion.

Hello. Recently a cut has been made on entry "HK Basic Law Article 23" paragragh “Since then, the bill of implementing the article has not been reintroduced”. As we may be aware of, some level of change regarding the political status of HK has occurred. However, Wikipedia is a site of objectivity and accuracy. Therefore my stance remains that the influence that has in the past been inflicted upon the implementation of HK Basic Law Article 23 be fully told in said entry. The precise narrative may shift according to its current political status--and rightfully so--but the details of past events I hope are told nonetheless. As experienced as a Wikipedia user such as yourself, I would count on you to designate a narrative fit for the status quo with objectivity. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Complete&Unabridged (talk) 14:01, 5 June 2020 (UTC)Complete&Unabridged
objectivity and accuracy, but it's inappropriate to assume I was not being objective and accurate. Kingsif (talk) 14:09, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Therefore I hope that the narrative could be changed to “Since 2003 up till 2020, the bill of implementing the article has not been reintroduced” to reflect the accurate existential influences of these demonstrations/protests, because a consecutive 17 years(2003~2020) of political restraint from both the mainland and HK would be considered a fairly large fraction of the life span of a random individual as well as a political body considering they're ultimately made of real people, and would be considered historically significant in many respects.

Hi,
I'd request that the Cookie Dough Bites (candy) page not be speedily deleted because I am endeavoring to build it out to be a fully encyclopedic entry. I'm just still finding my way around the various ins-and-outs of Wikipedia guidelines.
I'm a confectionery historian, and for the post-war 20th century, I might be a preeminent authority of candy brand history. I have consulted with the Smithsonian, Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, have been featured in the New York Times and even hosted my own food history television show on Cooking Channel. I've been featured on Food Network a few times, when the history of candy or cereal comes up. So, I hope that lends me some credibility and some leeway when I state that my interest is in making sure the history of these brands is documented and documented well and accurately. My creation of this page is not meant to be a promotion, but rather an accurate and robust recording of its importance as a late 20th century confectionery brand.
I've been reading and re-reading the guidelines and have a lot of additional information to add and rewrites to do on the existing information I've posted thus far. I want to work within the Wiki guidelines to create a solid Wiki entry for this brand. Hopefully I can do so as I am working to do it the right way.

I appreciate the offer of assistance and look forward to your help. -Jason MarvelJason (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)MarvelJasonMarvelJason (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi @KingSif
I've spent the last several days working up a draft of the Wikipedia entry for Cookie_Dough_Bites_(candy) after doing a lot more research. As I was unable to get any of my original draft back, I set about to create the new draft entirely within Word, and hoping to convert it to whatever format Wikipedia needs. I've been having issues with that now, as none of the tutorials I've followed online seem to work.
Can you take a look at what I've got, this is the file:
Thank you,

Oddly, when I do that, it comes out as a complete mess of characters and things. I want to make sure all of the hypertext links remain intact and I agree, it seems like it SHOULD work that way, but thus far for me, it doesn't. I actually just copied and pasted an existing Wikipedia page from Wikipedia and simply pasted that INTO Word, and it retained all formatting just fine (I used that existing Wikipedia page as my template to create my page). Just seems like it should be as simple as you state, but in practice it is just the opposite for me. I'm not giving up.

Update, I just found a tutorial that describes how to enable the "visual editor", which is turned off by default. That has changed things significantly for me and seems to have been the issue that was blocking my ability to do what I wanted to do. I have been able to transfer my working document withm formatting over to my sandbox, where I am figuring out how to tweak it before I publish the new article. Thank you for your continued help.

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
Six Month Queue Data: Today – 10271 Low – 4991 High – 10271

Kingsif, this is a weird one, in that right after Talk:F. Scott Fitzgerald/GA1 passed, another editor showed up and said that there were significant problems with the article vis a vis the GA criteria, and what I can't tell is how severe the problems actually were and whether they've been adequately addressed; the intervention was not at all collegial. The DYK nomination has been sitting there, but at the same time the GA nomination was concluded; the real question is whether the article meets the criteria or not. Can you please take a look at it? If there are significant issues, then the DYK probably shouldn't go forward without them being addressed one way or the other. Please let me know whether you think you can take a look at this one. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:44, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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!

Kingsif, this DYK nomination of an approved GA has run into trouble because of copyvio issues. The original GA reviewer would appreciate some help going forward, but for now, I was wondering whether you could take a look at it and perhaps, if you'd be willing, do an individual GAR. I suppose that if the nominator doesn't address the copyvios, then the DYK can just be failed regardless of any GAR, but it would be good to see whether it fails to meet the criteria in any other areas. Thanks for whatever you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:56, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

And don't know you connection to Venezuela, but we certainly heard a lot about the neighbors in 2018 from the ignorant right that "didn't want to turn Brazil into Venezuela" (well, the dumbass they elected is certainly doing that, in making a government relying too heavily on the military and repressing the opposition; and the Venezuelan COVID numbers numbers are certainly better!).

@Kingsif: Yeah, I did check. And OFFICIALLY, her date of death is July 13th. Which is why the note works while having the date of death as the 13th. A person is not dead until declared dead. Until then, it’s a presumed death.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2019 Latin American protests is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 Latin American protests until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fontaine347 (talk) 23:16, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, I just noticed that the nominator attempted (and failed) to ping you to see whether they'd addressed all of your issues—unfortunately, they failed to sign their posts, so the pings didn't work. Please stop by when you get the chance. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, this review didn't get very far, has not been added to for over two months, and when I queried the reviewer at User talk:Vami IV#Your open GA reviews, they requested that I find a new reviewer for this one. Please let me know if you don't think you'll be able to take this one on; I noticed that you opened three new reviews about 40 hours ago. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:01, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi Kingsif. I'm sorry the discussion has gone as it has. I hope you don't mind if I comment here on your talk page.
Given the requirements of WP:BLP, I expect editors arguing for inclusion of content to identify high-quality references for the information, quoting the relevant material if needed. From my perspective, that has still not been done in this case. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 02:48, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Rice's profile rose as a possible Joe Biden running mate. She was prominently in the news, getting more pageviews, when she had to explain to the rumor mill that selling some Netflix shares was not a political move, something that really shouldn't have been in doubt.
Another candidate to be Joe Biden's VP pick, this week Rice sold her shares in Netflix. She made bank, then announced that the sale was not politically motivated.
political innuendo, which... what?)
Susan Rice, believed to be a top contender to be Joe Biden's vice presidential running mate, has sold a significant proportion of the Netflix Inc. shares she has acquired [...] a spokesperson [said] "the sale has nothing to do with VP speculation"on Aug. 7, so that supports #1–3.
She would not have had to make such an announcement under other circumstancesThat's your OR and it shows how trivial it is. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 16:32, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
trivial. Hmm. The thing about the Top25 is that it can't always be given amazing sources, the same way actual academic analysis on social-oriented stats looks strongly at correlation and 'what we know about people'. I do think you're holding it to a too-high standard. E.g., this is the first week Alexander Hamilton has been out of the Top25 since the first week of July. We know it was there so long because the Broadway movie of Hamilton was released July 3 and he must have been popular since. Will there be any August sources for that? No. But there's no other reasonable answer for why Hamilton would get so many pageviews then otherwise. Similarly, why would Rice be in the Top25 the week before the VP pick when Harris and other popular candidates weren't? Or why Karen Bass was the only one of them in the Top25 the week before that? Not the politics, the media circus. When our pageviews are the data, there's only so much that can be supported from elsewhere. But I fear this is getting into a philosophical debate about the Top25 list; it's only rarely seen complaints that I know of, so two in one week was a surprise. And it hasn't changed how it operates since 2013, so if my explanations don't suffice, perhaps you can (genuine suggestion for peace of mind) just go back to ignoring it? Kingsif (talk) 21:10, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for adding the "Level 4" section "Becoming the standard" to 35 mm movie film.
There seems to be a lonely "(659)" after the first sentence of the last paragraph of the new section (the sentence ends with "further cementing it as the standard"). It seems that the 659 might be part of a citation. Could you check, please? Rfcstein (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I apologise to bother you, but recently, I read the article, and although it belongs to the category "Parodies of horror", there is no information/source/citation that would support that claim. I checked, and it seems that the edit was made by an IP user who had some issues with adding unsourced content and categories to various articles. Additionally, Simon Pegg stated it is not a parody (the source: 1, 2, 3). Still, some other sources say it is (e.g., Karen A. Ritzenhoff, Angela Krewani, The Apocalypse in Film: Dystopias, Disasters, and Other Visions about the End of the World, p. 89). I wanted to remove the category, but I decided to discuss it with you.

The file File:La Casa de las Flores soundtrack cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in The House of Flowers (TV series)#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE and MOS:TVPRODUCTION.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:42, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

By crash the internet, I meant actually cause service disruption. See Death of Michael Jackson#Media and Internet coverage and the similar disruption happened with Kobe. I used to have a much lower bar but our failure to post the death of John Lewis has made me jaded. The idea of a transformative figure is very subjective. I must oppose posting Chadwick Boseman because it would have been an affront considering Lewis. As a POC, if I was a reader and I noticed that Boseman receive a more respected treatment than Lewis, I would be offended. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 18:45, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to 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.

Apparently MOS:BLOCKQUOTE does back that up, so I won't argue with it, but I must admit I am rather surprised it claims the way you did it is "more usual". I cite blockquotes at the bottom, largely because a lot of the academic and legal writing I've used as sources do it that way, and I've seen a lot of other editors do it that way, so I thought it was standard. I wonder if that section of the MOS was written a long time ago.
I won't make an issue of it, but I do wonder if the MOS should revisit that as a lot of people don't seem to be following that particular part. Daniel Case (talk) 05:39, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, I hope you are well. I have no idea what your schedule's like these days, but this nomination was taken and quickly passed when it shouldn't have been. The original reviewer has reverted their passage and bowed out, and I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take it on. There are prose issues, as I've noted on the review page, but it's an interesting subject/person, and I think the nominator will be willing to work on issues should you take it on. If it isn't feasible, let me know and I'll put out a second-opinion call. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:20, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, I was wondering whether you could take a look at this and see if it is indeed ready to be approved, and if so, approve it. (If not, but it's close, point out what's left to be done.) It's a new reviewer, and even though an apparent professor, that doesn't mean they're fully cognizant of the specifics of Wikipedia; they certainly haven't been covering all the steps in the GA review process. I just received a note from the nominator, who isn't getting a response from the reviewer about taking that final approval step. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:57, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

The bot uses the last comment date when archiving a discussion so they're as good as closed when it happens. restoring an archived discussion at best is pointless because the bot will archive it again and at worst it will break the bot completely. If you feel strongly that a discussion should not be archived I believe there is a template you can add. Discussions do not need to be closed (in fact, I've learned that over doing that may be detrimental) so it's really best to just let the bot do what it does.

First and foremost, greatly appreciate your insightful GA-review back in March, that gave me some solid feedback after working on it for some time. I've been going through the article and adressed many of your concerns. It still needs some work on reflayout and so forth, but I wonder if you could take a quick look at it and tell me what I should focus on for it to pass GA.

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by
Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points.
The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with
Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.
The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions),
HaEr48 (submissions),
Harrias (submissions) and
Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition.

Kingsif, this review was done in 36 minutes, and it's an article with over 200 references. The reason I'm coming to you is that you ended up revisiting the reviewer's only previous GA review, also passed without any issues found, of Alan Dershowitz.
There was an earlier review of this Crisis article that foundered over the plot section length—when the previous reviewer resigned and this was put back into the pool of noms awaiting a review, it became the oldest unreviewed nomination—but I'd feel happier if someone could take a look at the article and see whether anything jumps out at them.

Hello Kingsif. Hu Nhu here; you assessed and promoted the article I nominated for WP:GA. I understood you were a demanding and particular editor which I appreciated. As I've continued my occasional editing, I've come across other articles listed as GA and thought that they had deficiencies. The San Francisco Bay Area is one of these. While making corrections to some of the egregious errors in the article and seeking assistance and advice, I received a comment noting that the SF Bay Area GA review lacked the thoroughness when compared to the one you completed. My compliments and thanks again to you. If I ever seek a GA review (unlikely but possible), I will certainly inquire of your excellent help.

Hello! Your submission of Rachel Sennott at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 23:45, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

9 | Hughesdarren (talk) | 4,520 | Patrol Page Curation |
10 | Utopes (talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

On 12 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rachel Sennott, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rachel Sennott stars in two 2020 queer Jewish films about funerals, but is neither queer nor Jewish? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rachel Sennott. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rachel Sennott), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi, I wonder if you would mind signing off on this review. I'm tired of trying to explain the same thing over and over again to someone who is probably not listening. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:33, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

...is a backwards trial? Wouldn't have anything to do with Wikipedia's search results for that alien term, would it? I'm no crooked detective, but if I'm being honest with you here, pal, your story pretty much falls apart right there. Not buying it. Not sure a jury would, either, y'know?
But my job is just to get to the bottom of what happens in Wikipedian true crime, hypothetically and friendly-like, then go home to my bottle and my dog, see? And I'm sure you have somebody waiting for you on the outside, too. So let's go back to the beginning and see if we can't help each other out, OK?
Missing people, sure, I get it. It happens to the best of us, nobody's blaming you, have a cigarette. Don't smoke? Good man, I've been meaning to think about quitting myself.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 01:42, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Kingsif, I don't understand what is going on with this review except that it isn't complete, no one is responding, and the reviewer doesn't appear to understand the process. They started out by saying they were looking for people to help with the review; might you stop by and do just that? If nothing else, a new post with germane comments might get things moving again, and if there truly isn't anything at all to comment on, saying that might also get things moving as well. Thank you very much, and best wishes for 2021. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:03, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Kingsif! Thanks for your brief comment on Talk:2021 storming of the United States Capitol in the "voting" for the name of the article. I'm hoping you can help me structure a !vote of some sort on the title of 2021 storming of the United States Capitol this week. Like I said over Talk:2021 storming of the United States Capitol in my comments, the debate over the title of this article needs to center on the descriptive term for what happened yesterday. Here's a list that I have, in alphabetical order (vaguely):
It's tough to even order these in "neutral" order, let alone have a talk page discussion about them. One of the commenters implied that this was a dead horse (with the "WP:Drop the stick" comment). It seems timely and urgent to get the title of this article correct now, but the discussion looks like it's going to leave the not-very-neutral "storming" term in the title. What are your thoughts on the structure needed for a good discussion? -- RobLa (talk) 00:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Your overhasty assertion[12] needs explanation. What part of this do you dispute?
Congress members own responsibility for policing of the Capitol 'Is there a place in the article to mention that, given that Congress is the exclusive source of authority for the Congressional officials who constitute the Capitol Police Board, it is remarkable that Senate and House members seem to be willing to blame anyone but themselves for the insufficiency of the Police deployment to secure the Capitol from the riotous break in?' Qexigator (talk) 07:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
seem to be willing to blame anyone but themselvesbecause of this structure is complete conjecture, and thinking it merits inclusion is ridiculous. You can write your own Facebook opinion piece on that if you like, but since there's no source, it's not going anywhere near a WP article. Kingsif (talk) 14:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
An IP user is continually removing an archived section that you closed from the talkpage of 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. So far, they have removed it five times in a little over three days. Both User:Elliot321 and myself have taken action twice on this. Would you be willing to put a restriction on the archive and revert them?

Hello Kingsif, regarding your revert on Tanya Roberts, you mentioned that all infoboxes use "U.S.", but that doesn't mean that the same thing will apply to the articles. I would like to let you know that 'United States' is the common name of the country, not 'U.S' which is just a short form and an abbreviation. We don't use abbreviations like 'R.U' for Russia and 'J.P.' for Japan in articles, we use common names for all. On another note, the comment which you mentioned in your revert edit summary "seemed like super obvious trolling" was totally unacceptable and uncalled for, since I've been using Wikipedia and have been an editor for here for 10 years now, so that looked very strange. Regarding the edit, if I'm missing something, please feel free to let me know. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
totally unacceptable and uncalled for- you said there was an inappropriate use of revert, I merely explained why I'd done it. Your edit looked like obvious trolling, it wasn't but was still wrong so I decided to explain that mistake, how on earth is that unacceptable. Kingsif (talk) 21:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

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:
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!

currently at the end of the section, HVOB collab, release and tour info:Winston Marshall
They toured Europe in April 2017 on the 15 date Silk Tour.
The April 2017 and 15 dates is currently sourced from the band website, press release (and previously before numerous edits) an interview article on an established media source.
Are there more sources needed for this tour information? What is the best/correct way to list these sources? Just a ref tag for each date?
HBOV toured the album for a year by themselves, only the first month of 15 dates (plus a one-off in Oct that I found while researching) was with Winston Marshall. Which is why I want to point out it was just a small number of dates, not the entire Silk Tour.

If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Willbb234 -- Willbb234 (talk) 19:01, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Kingsif. A few months ago, you helped assess Socrates Nelson, an article I substantially expanded, per our discussion here (the assessment was made at 05:40 UTC, 24 December). Since then, I've made a good deal of improvements (e.g. expanding out the first two sections, adding more media, dividing sections into paragraphs for readability), and Howcheng wrote what I believe is a nice, tidy lead section for the article.
Maybe I'm being too harsh on myself, but I'm not sure the article is approaching A-class or GA status quite yet, mostly for the reason that almost all of this research has been done independently by an amateur (yours truly) with resources freely available online. I'm basically convinced I've gotten as far as I can go on my own without help from an expert, poring over a nearby university's historical library to make sure there's no substantial record(s) I've missed, or traveling to Minnesota to see what physical records they may or may not keep at the Washington County/Minnesota Historical Societies. Essentially, this doubt stems from "What if there's more that I'm missing?"
^ This was past me speaking. Upon examining the GA criteria, I might actually ask you at some point to assess along GA guidelines, as I think the standard I was holding myself to to meet what I thought were GA criteria is more along the lines of a featured article. Regarding the GA criteria, I earnestly couldn't find anything wrong. I feel full of myself for saying that, but having had three months to distance myself from my own work and tidy up just a bit, I think this could be GA or close to it. Honestly, even reading the featured article criteria, the only two I get hung up on are "well-written" and "well-researched", and that's only because I know FAs are evaluated with exceedingly high standards.
However, I do believe it handily meets the criteria for B-class, and I was hoping you could properly assess that as a disinterested party. I'll make my case for B-class assessment, and since I know you've done many GA reviews in the past, I'd be very grateful to have you also unofficially, off-the-cuff weigh in on those criteria, but all of this is obviously your prerogative.
I've not only ensured everything I've said in the article can be backed up with reliable sources, but I've also taken care to make sure to cross-reference with other reliable sources. For many of these statements, I've included two or even three citations, either because the sources together provide a more complete picture, and/or because I don't want statements about this fairly obscure historical figure reliant on only one source, especially when crucial information that I based on only one source at first later turned out to be incorrect. With such limited resources (in most cases; you'll find a billion different sources telling you who was on the first University of Minnesota Board of Regents), I want the reader to be able to verify this obscure information with approximately the same confidence I have. Arguably the only statement in the entire article that I still want reinforced with another reliable source is his cause of death, as I could only find one (reliable) biography and could unfortunately find no obituary. I recall the selection of citations and citation combinations being fairly meticulous, because I didn't want to overcite any statement, but I also wanted to be sure the content I was writing wouldn't be a source of misinformation. This is what I'm most proud of in this article.
While I'm concerned about potential very small omissions or inaccuracies due to lack of access to resources that may or may not exist, I would be floored at the presence of "obvious omissions or inaccuracies." I'm embarrassed to say that I realized today I slightly misspelled the maiden name of Nelson's wife Betsey (I spelled it Barlett instead of Bartlett), but this had nothing to do with inadequate research or misinterpreting sources and everything to do with my stupid brain not being able to register a 't' right next to an 'l'. However, within the framework of my current access to sources (completing exhausting Google Books, the Internet Archive, Chronicling America, and two historical societies), I believe the article is essentially inaccuracy-free and omission-free.
I see no issue with this one either. Howcheng brought the lead up to snuff, and the entire article is written essentially chronologically, broken up into four sections based on seemingly fairly distinct portions of his life.
This is probably my weakest suit, but I believe I've done a reasonable job presenting the information that I have to work with. When you recommended WP:GOCE (who I still intend to consult now that I've ironed out a lot of issues with the article), you noted issues about flow and suggested adding more detail and, even if that failed, using different sentence styles. While I would probably need to ask a third party such as GOCE about changing sentence styles, an inexorable issue still arises where there's just no detail present in any sources I can find to break up that jumpy cadence. Unfortunately, as a fairly obscure 19th century state politician, there's adequate coverage of significant positions he attained, but no meaningful, substantial coverage of what he did in those positions. I've scoured the sources I have at my disposal and largely know by heart what each one covers about Nelson, and I believe you would come to the same conclusion. However, I do think the content is substantially more readable now than it was before, especially since the prose has been broken into paragraphs. I don't know of any MoS violations in the prose; though I haven't checked it over rigorously, I can only guess such possible violations are fairly trivial.
I believe I've done a good job creating the infobox and providing what little media I can relating to this subject. Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe there's a surviving photograph of the subject. If there is, I can only imagine it exists within the records of the Minnesota Historical Society or the Washington County Historical Society or as a family heirloom. There exist old photographs of Stillwater that could paint a more complete picture for readers, but I've already had a discussion on Commons about the possibly iffy copyright situation of old photographs liked that. As far as other supporting materials, I considered a timeline of Nelson's political career but made the determination it would be a clunky mess bordering on useless, whereas I believe the image of the commemorative tablet fits very nicely into this section.
It's sort of hard to make a case for this one, because there's not much to say. As I noted, I'm absolutely not a historian. I wrote this in the voice of an amateur, and any term I can foresee not being understood by a typical reader has a wikilink that can resolve this within the first sentence of the article. This criteria is probably more relevant for fields with a lot of jargon, but I just don't foresee anybody getting stuck on this one because they lack any requisite historical knowledge.
I foresee a very narrow scope of readers who would be left wanting. I even think this would be an excellent starting point for an expert historian looking to create a detailed account of Nelson's life or of early Stillwater. Perhaps the discovery of some obscure historical source would lead the article to be expanded, but I have very little reason to believe there's much left to explore without new sources. It's a bit outdated, but Talk:Socrates Nelson shows you the sorts of vague, ostensibly not-that-important loose ends I have. The political decisions and maneurverings made by Nelson as a state senator were highly unlikely to have stood out enough to have gained any substantial coverage, and while it would be nice to definitively determine where he stood on slavery as part of his 'Political career' section, the most I have to go off of is an op-ed in a rival political party's newspaper as well as the circumstantial evidence that he was a member of a party that largely supported slavery. Until some totally new source of information can be found and pored over, I've pretty much hit bedrock here. This is now far and away the most complete biography of Nelson that I know of.
I won't repeat anything from my case for the article's promotion to B-class, but this is where I believe it stands right now:
1. Well written: a)
This one is hardest for me to judge, but having come back after three months, this all reads just as well to me as I'm sure it did in my head back in January.
I don't think I meander in the prose, and footnotes that do meander are used sparingly and contribute to the depth of knowledge on the subject.
Elaborated upon above at "The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way.
Resolved as of today (thanks, brain).
I like to think I'm good about dotting my i's and crossing my t's when it comes to grammar, and I don't see this as an exception.
b)
I think Howcheng did a great job here, and while I didn't scour their lead for mistakes, I couldn't find any just by reading the MoS's lead section guidelines. Given its length, I don't believe citations are necessary in this particular article's lead.
I will have to check this one to make sure, but if a violation of this does exist, it has to be completely trivial to fix.
The worst I could find of this is that a couple of the footnotes are the tiniest bit weasely just because I didn't want to fill them with example citations. However, it would be completely possible to substantiate these with two or three sources apiece; it'd just look much messier.
N/A
N/A
2. Verifiable with no original research: a)
The worst I can see here is that I use the word 'Bibliography' for a header, but the MoS doesn't disallow it, and I don't believe there's any issue with the context it's used in.
b)
See above for B-class argument.
N/A
c)
Honestly, I'm not sure to what extent original research about this subject is even possible.
d)
In addition to most of the sources I used being well out of copyright, I don't really have an argument except "I didn't plagiarize; trust me."
3. Broad in its coverage: a)
Please see above: "The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies."
b)
I don't feel like this is an issue here. Even things that are slightly tangential are kept very brief, and they still contribute a depth of knowledge about Nelson himself. For example, I spend 12 words discussing what happened to Nelson's lumber mill – one of two businesses he's most well-known for – after his death, and I note in 19 words that he owned a horse later in life, as it shows that he likely spent some of his later years horseback riding. It's detail to be sure, but I feel it's far from cruft.
4. Neutral:
Honestly, if you're coming off as biased in an article like this, you're probably doing something horribly wrong. I'd almost say N/A.
5. Stable:
I don't hestitate to call the article's edit history pristine.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: a)
Got these straight off of Commons, and they sure are.
N/A
b)
There are only three, and I believe they are.
I recognize this is a gutsy statement, but were you to convince everybody on Earth to want to learn about Socrates Nelson, I would be very surprised were there more than 100 for whom this article would not be useful in some way. I earnestly think this article has pushed the frontier on publicly accessible knowledge on this very niche subject and basically dwarfs everything else.
It's difficult to find an adequate comparison on *EB*, but I'll place their article for Stillwater here. Perfectly serviceable and well-researched, but I don't see it as anything special either, and I'd feel my work is at least approaching if not equaling this level of quality.
You're more experienced than I am, and ultimately, I wouldn't want a good article as some sort of unearned trophy; I just want a good article so I know I've improved it as best as I reasonably can. So if I'm totally wrong about this, I want to be put in my place. I know this is a lot, by the way; I'm writing this with the tempered expectation that you have every right to decline this request, and I'll understand if you decide not to take it.

Hello. Regarding your reversion of my edit at Helen McCrory's article: is there a policy or guideline that says every single project in the filmography section requires a citation? I've never seen that before. My edit summary cited WP:CITEKILL and yours just said they were necessary. I fail to see how all of those sources were necessary, and it clutters the text. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 19:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
is there a policy or guideline that says that- "that" being "citing information"? Am I to assume that you've been leaving things uncited over fear that there'll be too many? Or adding uncited statements? Pillar policies WP:V and WP:NOR are what you're asking about.

Kingsif, I have no idea whether you're talking on GA reviews these days—I've been around very little lately—but this GA review was abandoned by the reviewer in midstream, and no one has shown any signs of picking it up even though it's been listed under Second Opinion for quite a while.

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:

Kingsif, please don't hand-delete nomination templates from the Approved page. First, they disappear automatically if the promotion was done correctly, and if there are issues with the promoted template, sometimes a portion of the nomination stays on the page, indicating a problem.
Second, Wugbot comes by every other hour on the odd hour and does the cleanup automatically, which keeps the history much cleaner and makes it easier to see at a glance how many articles were promoted and removed. We lose that with the automatic cleanup.

I noticed that you removed the PROD tag that I had added to this article. You're rationale was that it is "clearly notable", however, you left the "notability" tag, which makes me wonder if you really think the film is notable. Can you expand on why it is "notable" enough to have the PROD removed but not notable enough to remove the notability tag, which clearly questions whether it is truly notable or not? Thanks!

The article Pieces of a Woman you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Pieces of a Woman for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, 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 in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Kingsif, I hope all is well with you. This review was opened back on April 5, and the reviewer stopped editing on April 10. They have disappeared for months at a time in the past, and leave the nominators hanging; this isn't the first time I've had to find replacement reviewers for them. (There's another review that they opened the same day and never began; I think for that one I'll just have the review page deleted, since we have the backlog drive coming up in ten days.) I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take a look, see whether the issues listed were addressed as fully as needed, and see whether there are any other issues that need to be addressed. In short, to finish the review. Either way, thank you for considering taking this on. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:12, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
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). 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.

Hi again, Kingsif. I went looking around the backlog of good article nominations, and I decided that I want to do one for myself. I originally made some edits on Bionicle (video game) – things like fixing typos, adding explanatory interjections for some of the Bionicle jargon for non-fans (such as myself), and adding a couple reviews to the 'Reception' section to round it out a bit – because I wanted to shape it up and possibly review it for B-class criteria. I feel my contributions are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things and that the short time I spent editing it has not biased me, let alone enough that it could sway my decision.
This would be my first GA review, so just to err entirely on the side of caution – even though I think it's perfectly fine – I wanted to ask: would there be any issue with this? TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:06, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Update: So I'm performing my second GA review – this time on Marjorie Taylor Greene (yes, I know; it's a hell of an article to take on for just my second review) – and I was hoping I could ask you, the more experienced reviewer, for advice. I'm reviewing for criteria 2c and 2d, and unfortunately, there's a dead video link that's the sole supporter of a statement in the article's 'Personal life' section (I could not find any alternative). I believe it to be permanently dead until somebody comes along and uploads an archive out of the blue (as the video was circulated on Twitter and cited by multiple reliable sources, I'm of the opinion that offline archives exist). Firstly, I know that the source itself is reliable and what it purports to be, as it's referenced directly and even embedded by several reliable sources, including Politico. Secondly, the claims attributed to it are fairly time, e.g. that she was baptized at age 7 to take her First Communion. Thirdly, I recognize that – while WP:LINKROT notes that a dead link "harms verifiability" – it is Wikipedia policy that reliable sources should not be rejected simply because they are difficult to access. However, I wonder if you think this could be an extenuating circumstance given 1) there's technically no concrete evidence an offline archive exists, 2) this falls under the purview of WP:BLP, and 3) the claim isn't absolutely crucial to understanding her personal life. Thank you. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:25, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, just letting you know that I put hours of work into styling the text into something readable, while all you did were a couple of clicks to return it to a version of "encyclopedia" suitable for robots, not human beings. If you did find issues with original sourcing or source hijacking (as you state), you could've a) corrected them yourself and b) notified me prior to reverting. And this is just a piece of a problem most WP editors have when they disregard completely editor etiquette and find it appropriate by behaving like you just did (moreover, some even state that "it's not out job to correct your mistakes" - talk about 'productive' behavior!). Please either prove to me that this is constructive behavior (in a way I fail to see) or report me right away because I am going to edit war with you.

Thanks for the note Kingsif. Not sure if the hook works without the picture as that was the clue that she was paraplegic. Without that it is "just another" channel swimmer. I guess we could add "paraplegic" to the hook, but I believe we cannot just use it as an adjective as she is not a disabled person but a person with a disability. I don't have an image of her swimming as she is not known for that (until the 16th) and its hard to get images anyway (as you may know). There is a cropped headshot of her in commons if you want to use that. I'm talking at Wikimania on the 15th and I will be mentioning Women in Red's contributions to DYK which was part of the early history of the project. Do say if you would like more help. Victuallers (talk) 07:24, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your excellent work in promoting hooks at DYK. When I became an admin last year, I was determined that DYK should never grind to a halt because of a failure of prep sets being moved into the queue. Well, that hasn't happened, but sometimes prep set building is a bit spasmodic, so I have found it necessary to lend a hand there from time to time. In this respect, Yoninah is sorely missed because she acted as a sort of unofficial coordinator, maintaining standards, filling sets and moving things along. Still, we struggle along without her, and things will become easier when we return to one set of hooks a day. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:48, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Kingsif,
I belatedly saw your message on User talk:Gazeteci Sabah 1453 about writing an article about Ali Al Suleiman. Aside from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ali Al Suleiman (journalist), you will find probably a dozen pages with a variation of this person's name and occupation are semi- or extended-protected which is why Ali Al Suleiman is requesting help from experienced editors to produce an article on him. All that he has tried to do is produce an article on himself or to add his credits to projects he says he has worked on. His SPI case is at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/علي أبو عمر. This has less to do with non-English sources and more to do with cross-wiki abuse. Here you will see a case page with over 200 sockpuppets listed. If this editor wanted to contribute to building Wikipedia and writing other articles, I might have some sympathy but as far as I've seen, he is only interested in self-promotion.
But I think your arguments wanting to help him show remarkable good faith on your part and I'm glad that you have this general attitude towards editors looking for help. Liz Read! Talk! 23:57, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

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.

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Please stop messing around at Talk:Winston Marshall. This includes your efforts to archive a discuss when there's clearly opposition, as well as you arbitrarily removing comments. As I said in my edit summary and at ANI, I don't think User:Domdeparis's comment was particularly necessary. They'd already warned you and in any case the article talk page wasn't the place to deal with these issues. However it's unnecessary to remove it and clearly inappropriate for you to be doing so considering it concerned you; and further you're the pot calling the kettle black as your comments including the comment the reply your removed was in response to, were in the same vein with nonsense that doesn't belong on the article talk page. It's also inappropriate for you to be archiving that discussion, you were involved and people clearly objected to your archival. If you feel the issue is resolved because you no longer dispute the changes that's fine. Just stop participating. if others feel it's resolved then no one will reply and it's over. If others want to add on their support in the event of future dispute that's fine to. Once the discussion has ended, it can be removed after a few weeks or whatever normal archiving is. The talk page isn't particularly active so there's zero need to archive so fast. As I said at ANI, if you continue such nonsense I'd fully support a partial block of you from the article talk page as a minimum sanction required to stop your disruption, which will also mean you need to be blocked from the article itself since while you seem to have stopped edit warring there, you cannot edit it if you cannot discuss your edits. Nil Einne (talk) 08:36, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert." but in any case there are two full reversions here [14] [15] and this full reversion of a single edit [16] (albeit the single edit was one of a series of 3). A particular problem as I see is it is it's clear you've acknowledged even if you refuse to say it, that you cannot defend your edits, so really there was no reason to ever revert. While WP:BRD is a thing, if your edits made the article worse, then you should not have reverted. Sadly you did then found you couldn't defend your edits and gave up. So no I'm not withdrawing my comment that you were edit warring since you were and in doing so you harmed the article. Nil Einne (talk) 20:26, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
On 18 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Venezuela at the 2020 Summer Olympics, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Julio Mayora was most happy about winning his silver medal for Venezuela at the 2020 Summer Olympics because it meant the government might give his mother a house? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Venezuela at the 2020 Summer Olympics. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Venezuela at the 2020 Summer Olympics), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hey there, Kingsif! I noticed you added David Whiting to the stats page—I checked the pageviews, and they looked accurate, so I just spent quite a bit looking for a flaw in my script to see why it hadn't picked up on Whiting (i was really, really confused),. So, as it turns out it looks like Whiting's hook actually ran for 13.3 hours instead of 12 because of a delay in the hook being off the the main page, which puts the hook at 4,689 views in 12 hours instead of 5,197, or just below the threshold. That's really close, I'm sorry about that! let me know if you've got any questions. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 04:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I looked at the Betty White section of the Top 25 Report and wanted to mention that Betty White was a staple on TV game shows for decades, from the 1950s to the 1970s back when TV game shows were a big deal. She was a hilarious contestant and even met the love of her life and third husband, Allen Ludden, when she was on his game show. Password. He proposed several times before she said, "Yes!" It might be hard to work this in with all of her other accomplishments but she was a regular feature on TV for decades before her primetime hits. Liz Read! Talk! 05:41, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

YOU wrote: don't invent new sentence structures to shoehorn in links, either. I've amended it to more naturally incorporate a link to the article you made, but that Holocaust humor article needs serious clean-up so I'd be cautious linking it anywhere in its current state anyway
All three issues are a normal process of collaborative editing in wikipedia: nobody owns articles, but nobody chastises other's work idly: either you help or place tags. Loew Galitz (talk) 01:05, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
I've amended it to more naturally incorporate. Did you skip that part to complain that I wasn't helping? Now, by "don't invent", I clearly mean
don't invent new sentence structures, you know, exactly what I wrote that you also quoted. It's a friendly way of saying "your English grammar is abysmal, don't put malformed fragments into other sentences with no regard for context, because then none of it is comprehensible." Shoehorning is when a link or phrase is added in a way that is unnatural; as much as you may think it relevant, if it disrupts a sentence, it is inappropriate because it ruins readability for the purpose of advertising a link. Be more careful with your grammar and manner of editing things in. Nobody owns articles, but if I'm watching one and someone is being disruptive, I'm going to remove or clean it up - if you don't like that, Wikipedia editing isn't for you. I cleaned your mess up, by the way, since you're accusing me of being unhelpfully critical (the edit reason was explaining why I'd made the change!), and you come complaining to me because you apparently can't understand more than two words of the edit reason to see that. FYI: repeatedly adding shoehorned links is not collaborative editing. Cleaning that up to keep the new content in a way that doesn't harm the old content, and leaving an edit reason explaining why, is collaborative. Kingsif (talk) 01:15, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I was wondering if you could be my GA mentor for a GA review as it would be my first time reviewing one. I familiarized myself with the GA criteria and read the instructions on how to review one. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 19:12, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Hey does this review for the lead look bad?/What would you change?
Conceived after Parrish noticed he was growing older, Us Again takes inspiration from his grandparents.– This sentence could be restructured because it kinda comes out of nowhere and seems like it is still talking about the plot at first.
Its score was composed by Pinar Toprak and was written before storyboarding and animation, in contrast to the usual filmmaking process.– This sentence needs to make it clear that the music was written before the storyboarding and animation process began, because it was very confusing at first and I had to reread it several times to realize what the sentence was trying to say
― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 03:46, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
I mean I think the critical reception could be expanded. So do you basically just want me to check over if anything could be added to the article like look at the refs they have and say what could be added?

Helpful edit messages like the one you made here are greatly appreciated - especially when reverting changes. I was under the impression from WP:SNOPES that the source was appropriate but I do take your points about over-inclusion and end-citing. In particular, I stopped by here to thank you for articulating those with your revert. So thank you and well done! --N8 21:52, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

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:
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!

Greetings,
One of my close friends has a wiki page as he was a gold medal bobsled winner for Canada in the '64 games. It was unusual as CA had no team before that Olympics. Here is a link to a recent article about his life as he died recently. I can also send you the obituary that is being written by his wife. He was such an inspiration to so many people that we would really like to get his page updated.
Any help would be great!!

Hi, I'm not sure if you remember the GA review you undertook for the Tony Meo article. (Talk:Tony Meo/GA1) One of the sticking points was the performance and rankings timeline. I raised this at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Snooker#Results_tables but I don't think there was a consensus about what to do with these. There are editors who didn't take part in the discussion but who are actively creating and updating these tables.

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

I found your page from wp:Good article help/mentor. Wow, um, that's a lot of barnstars... Anyway...
I've just attempted my first GA review, and it strongly encouraged me to ask for advice if I feel I need it, so that is what I am doing. Four questions:
1: Is it better necessarily for formatted data to be in a wikitable or an image? Does it matter? The article already has it in an image with what seems like fine licensing to me.
2: For non-english citations, how important is it that the title and citation information is translated? How can that be done within a ((cite journal)) template, keeping both the original and translated name so that the source can be found easily? Is there a specific template for this? And how should editors in general decide how much is relevant material to translate in a footnote? I cannot really find any policy/guideline info about this on wikipedia. This also was a consideration for me when I was editing haltlose personality disorder ([19]) for which almost all references are non-english and I had no idea what to do, since I don't speak german or russian or french, and it seems very hard to find someone who speaks that and is also able to translate or verify decades old personality disorder language and documents (which for many of them I struggled even to verify that the source existed). Wikipedia:Verifiability#Non-English_sources and Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Additional_annotation leave a lot to be desired on how to handle this kind of situation.
3: According to prosesize, the article I reviewed has Prose size (text only): 80 kB (12087 words) "readable prose size". This is probably WP:TOOBIG and should be split into something more like summary style. At the same time, I am not sure what to say on the review about it, since I have no idea what approach for splitting would make the most sense, aside from by the first-level section headers: "Scope of embodied cognition", "History of embodied cognition", etc. Is this the way to go? What have you done in similar situations?
4: Did I miss anything "obvious" on my review? I've tried to familiarise myself with the MOS as much as I can, it still feels a bit uphill with so much policy and trying to remember all the acronyms and sections for everything. Seems like this must be a frequent consideration for you, I enjoyed reading your essay on it. It's definitely a bit of imposter syndrome too.

parameter to any citation template. I wrote much of the The House of Flowers (TV series) article, which uses this largely throughout (Mexican/Spanish show). If you want verifiability help, there may be users who speak other languages who are willing to read things for you. If you look at my user page, you can see the Babel box, which has added categories for the languages at the bottom of the article; the user-enN one (I think) will take you to the category for users with English as a native language, and you can change the language code in the url to get to categories for the languages you are looking for, and leave a request for some of the users?On 23 May 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Craig Braun, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 802 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 855 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing ((subst:NPR invite))
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hey, how's it going? I know that you're busy this period, I'm just wondering how long it will take for the review to be completed. Thanks, Nehme1499 13:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[b] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[c]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, ((NPP backlog))
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 9572 articles, as of 08:00, 4 June 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Conductores de Venezuela you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Sammi Brie -- Sammi Brie (talk) 02:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
The article Conductores de Venezuela you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Conductores de Venezuela for issues which need to be addressed.

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

That is the first time I was aware that there appears to be some lack of agreement of non-EU signings for the Spanish Women's top division. This probably affects Caroline Weir of Real Madrid who is no longer a EU due to Britain leaving the European Union. Who knows what would happen with these signings eventually.

The article Conductores de Venezuela you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Conductores de Venezuela for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, 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 in DYK.

The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; 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 the remaining competitors, 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, and importantly, before the deadline on October 31st!
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! 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 yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. The judges are Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Haiti at the 1936 Summer Olympics), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

You are receiving this message because you signed up to participate in the drive, but have not yet reviewed any pages in October. We would love to see you over at the backlog drive! Buidhe 10:49, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Haiti at the 1936 Summer Olympics you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Lee Vilenski -- Lee Vilenski (talk) 23:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:00, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.
Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.

The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The 2022 champion is
During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed on the discussion page. You are invited to sign up to take part in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition.

Per "Change to something perhaps more descriptive, especially as the “controversies" around the Iranian . I think it is more ideal with the armbands (an FA concern) to be separated from the fan concerns, if it would be okay to re-add the sub headers?" edit summary - yeah that's cool with me, or at least until the end of the group stage and we can reassess where the splits need to be. I just didn't like the previous wording. Keep up the good work. :). Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:27, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Dear Kingsif,
For the LGBT rights in the World Cup 2022, could it be added under the Joe Lycett Stunt that the BBC had allegations of him being a hypocrite? If you’re interested, there are more details on the talk page.

Why remove my passage about non-FIFA captain's armbands when I've cited the actual document, published months ago and way before all this guff made the news, saying why they're forbidden?
We've seen similar faux-outrage before about the Bob Marley reference on Ajax's third shirt last season, in regards to people not taking notice of footballing body's well-established regulations. Don't blame me for using sensationalist words when the media outlets that are stirring up the storm fail to do the basic research themselves. VEOonefive 12:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
prove they were wrong from the off- nobody was wrong, as explained if you bothered to read, because nobody (not a single source, not a single national team) said that captains should be allowed to wear whatever armband they want.
sensationalism- the media reported on team and fan reactions, and may have contributed along the line, but certainly didn't start it. But since you've not tried to reinsert your opinion that the whole thing shouldn't have happened (nor unrelated source), you can keep your misguided views and get on with not touching the topic. Kingsif (talk) 08:26, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
Kingsif, please formally suggest your ALT hook for this; it's the second-oldest extant DYK nomination, and really needs to move.

I read the guidelines carefully last week, and I chose (at least I think) a fairly simple article to begin, but I still want to make sure I don't make mistakes or misjudgements through the process.
On a side note, if the nominator requests it, am I allowed to put the review on hold immediately?

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

@Kioumarsi: I did, both for goals and year. And I also read the whole thing. You want to cite [Alexia Putellas] ended the [2018-19] season as Barcelona's top scorer in the league with 16 goals and overall with 18 goals.
to an article that doesn't mention that season at all. It mentions she got 18 goals in the league in the 2020-21 season. Since it's the wrong season, it also doesn't mention 16 league goals or being top scorer. Please read more than just a single number in sources before inserting them. Searching a number in a source and not checking the context is a big no. Kingsif (talk) 11:22, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

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:
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!

Hi, thanks again for your offer a while back to help with reviewing Category:Citizens through descent following Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_November_17#Category:Citizens_through_descent. These are now listed at WP:CFDWM#Other. If you are still able to help, that would be appreciated.

Hello! Hope you're doing well.
This time, I wanted to ask you for help with a different subject, having noticed that you frequently cover Latin America-related articles.
Roughly a month ago, I wrote this draft about the assassination of an Ecuadorian politician and his (uncanny) posthumous election as mayor, since I saw that it had been covered by several national and international sources. Not gonna lie, I had to do a lot of work to search for reliable information and create that page!
What do you think about it? Is there any other project/user I should ask for a review?
On a side note, the pattern of violence during those elections looked very worrying to me...
Oltrepier (talk) 16:32, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
Kingsif, it's been almost a month since you said you'd be back to your nomination, and you haven't yet returned. Are you still interested in pursuing it? If not, let me know, and I'll arrange to have it closed. Otherwise, please post there as soon as you return, and give priority to addressing the issues. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:13, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi! How's it going?
I wanted to let you know that I'm planning to do some maitenance regarding Venezuelan sources that lack either independence or reliability; some of which have been discussed in the main sources noticeboard, while others are currently listed in WP:VENRS.
Since you have voiced concern regarding the removal of some of the references, I wanted to let you know before proceeding. One of the purposes would be to improve articles with BLP issues, and I would try to replace the sources when possible. Most of these have the suffix "http", meaning that they are dated in the early 2010s or before that, meaning that they include old topics and dead links.
Please let me know about your thoughts and suggestions. Best regards! NoonIcarus (talk) 22:44, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie,
Thebiguglyalien,
MyCatIsAChonk,
PCN02WPS, and
AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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!

Page title: Other Dudjom Yangsi
Tenzin Yeshe Dorje was recognised by Dudjom Rinpoche the second's Consort, who is revered and believe to be the same as Dudjom Rinpoche. Dudjom Rinpoche himself always asked for Advice from His Consort, so how can you not put "Dudjom Tenzing Yeshe Dorje in the page title: Dudjom the Third." Please correct this immediately for the sake of all sentient beings. --Ngawang0104 (talk) 16:12, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
Page Title: Dudjom the Third (requires addtional information)
You did not include Dudjom Tenzin Yeshe Dorje in the Page Title: Dudjom The Third. Dudjom Tenzin Yeshe Dorje was recognised by Dudjom Sangyum Rigdzin Wangmo, the wife of Dudjom Rinpoche, who was highly revered by Dudjom Rinpoche the second himself and including the whole of the Tibetan School of Buddhism!
Please put Dudjom Tenzin Yeshe Dorje's biography to the page title Dudjom The Third! He is Guru Rinpoche in the flesh. He is Dudjom The Third, who Dudjom Rinpoches Wife herself recognised. For the sake of all sentient beings please do what is right! --Ngawang0104 (talk) 16:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
for the sake of all sentient beingswhen asking). Kingsif (talk) 21:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your advise but being a Buddhist I feel it is important to clarify some stuff. The two most well known Dudjom Yangsi are from Tibet and Bhutan. When the title of the page says Dudjom the Third and mentions only the Tibet Dudjom. Are you not taking away the importance of the Dudjom who was born in Bhutan? Both are equally as important, so I request if you would delete the page title Dudjom the Third. It infact, creates more confusion stating that the Tibet Dudjom is the authentic third Dudjom, whereas the Dudjom born in Bhutan is not.

Regards, Kingsif. I saw that years ago you collaborated in the article Leycang El Grandioso It is currently more than 3 years old where several editors have contributed and the editor Bedivere has put a deletion request for having problems with its creator ChuchoVzjMusik, I see that its Problems have led her to want to affect the article and if it is not accepted they should send it to a workshop to continue working on it. I hope your help because this article belongs to the Wikiproject/Venezuela. Elviarosa026914 (talk) 18:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Hello, Kingsif. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of The House of Flowers characters".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hi,
With regard to Banda, what are your thoughts on this -- particularly the last sentence? Do you have a better citation you can swap? Hmlarson (talk) 18:58, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
Not all intersex folks identify as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, non-binary, queer, and/or having an intersex condition, or who have openly been in a same-sex relationship.That is, it says LGBTQ+ and/or intersex - it already doesn't put them in the same basket for this reason. If you want to have a wider discussion, I would be happy to facilitate that as I edit a lot in related spheres; it may also be that the List of LGBT Olympians and Paralympians article should be renamed (just having "LGBT" in the title is due to consistency with this naming crit across Wikipedia, something about Wikipedia is international and not everywhere in the world accepts/understands a longer acronym; I don't think adding "and intersex" after it goes against that). Kingsif (talk) 22:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
A lot of choice and privacy, I suppose, is taken away from intersex athletes. A sentimental view would be that Wikipedia should not continue with that, but Wikipedia is neither WP:CENSORED or for WP:Righting great wrongs...- it is purely sentimental to think that Wikipedia should not include appropriate information as a 'correction' of other organisations (IOC, FIFA, FAZ) deciding the information should be public. If news media thought it was inappropriate, it wouldn't have made it into RS, but it has so here we are. Kingsif (talk) 02:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
@Hmlarson: Do you have a reference for the quote you added here? Kingsif (talk) 02:57, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
testosterone levels have been used as a determinant of ineligibility for certain competitions and implemented as a metric to disqualify female athletes in women’s sports.I honestly hope that clinicians don't draw a line in women's testosterone levels and call one side abnormal, but the IOC and other sporting bodies have and that's the relevant context. Kingsif (talk) 03:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
what might be the actual medical situation- the sporting context is the relevance for the list. I also OR agree with you about Kłobukowska, who probably got entirely mistreated, but the discrimination in sports was there. Perhaps changing the title from "intersex" to (DSD? open to suggestions) and expanding the lead in terms of definitions (not just Olympic history) and the notes in terms of accuracy?

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
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. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

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
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.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Nike Phantom Luna, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:47, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike Phantom Luna until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hello Kingsif/Archives:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hello, Kingsif. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of frequent collaborators of Ryan Murphy".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:List of footballers who have played in the Kings League and Queens League, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 23:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Best wishes, I hope you're alright. I know you haven't edited recently in the topics, but I only wanted to let you know I have created articles of Venezuelan films released in the last years, including Simón, Me & The Beasts and My Otaku Girlfriend. I thought you would like taking a look at them. As always, stay safe, and happy editing :) NoonIcarus (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello Kingsif:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
How to create a military email? --$smith0444 (talk) 05:53, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
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!

Template:A review toolbox has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:35, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Kingsif. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of footballers who have played in the Kings League and Queens League".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
