The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}}, who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|BeanieFan11}}, who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}} with 879 points, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Hey man im josh}} with 533 points, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|BennyOnTheLoose}} with 432 points, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Arconning}} with 244 points, and {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|AryKun}} with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

*"2 or 3 school shootings a year on ITN is not too many.", "But, double digits might be enough to warrant posting. That would reduce us to only two or three American school shootings in ITN a year."... I sometimes struggle to understand if this is real.


The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Misplaced Pages has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
*"Support. Certainly more notable than snooker or canoe races. Gamaliel (talk) 02:09, 30 May 2018 (UTC)" (Who nominated the snooker? Who nominated the Boat Race(s)?)
*:"Posted, now that a prose summary of the match has been added per TRM. I've added this to the men's blurb, as per the suggestions above, modeling it off the blurb for 2017's Boat Race. ... Ed 02:45, 30 May 2018 (UTC)" (TRM didn't change his oppose position, and funny how we're using a TRM nomination here to "model it off").


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.

*{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} wins the featured article prize for 3 FAs in round 4, and 7 FAs overall.

*{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|BeanieFan11}} wins the good article prize for 58 GAs in round 5, and 70 GAs overall.

==Fishy business==
In general I agree with the points you have been raising at Errors. It would be nice if every species had unique features enabling an interesting hook to be written for them. In practice, many of them have been little studied and an interesting specific hook is difficult (the general public is not interested in taxonomy or the number of rays in the dorsal fin of fish). Perhaps you would like to suggest an interesting hook for one or more of the articles '']'', '']'' and '']'' that I have just created/expanded and one or more of which I will shortly be nominating for DYK? ] (]) 06:38, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
:{{U|Cwmhiraeth}} I'll take a look, but you have to consider that I'm a strong advocate of "FAILING" DYKs which are junk, and that means if an article doesn't have anything unique to praise at DYK, then FAIL it. The general public may well be more interested in dorsal ray fins above seeing the same junk hook used time and again, you just don't know. And a lot of it is in the phrasing which is woefully poor in recent times at DYK. ] (]) 20:28, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

==Grenfell Tower fire==
I've put the ] article in line for an OTD appearance on 14 June. There is precisely one unreferenced paragraph in an article with over 400 refs. I trust this will not prevent an appearance? ] (]) 19:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
:I don't know, I just report issues at ERRORS, I don't make any decisions on what does and does not prevent an appearance I'm afraid. Just reference the paragraph in question, shouldn't be that hard. ] (]) 20:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
::What I meant was that given the size of the article, the one paragraph should not prevent its appearance. Yes, ideally everything should be referenced, but a very minor issue can be allowed to slide. ] (]) 20:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
:::Well as I said, I simply report issues at it's up to an admin to make the decisions. I would reference the paragraph or remove it, that way there's no problem. Unreferenced material shouldn't be allowed to stand, let alone be featured on the main page, don't you agree? ] (]) 20:57, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
::::No, I don't agree. It's very much on a case-by-case basis. Articles don't have to be FA quality to appear on the MP. One minor blemish in a very long article should not be a barrier. A very long article with many unreferenced paragraphs would not be of sufficient quality. Have asked on the talk page for this issue to be fixed by the normal editing process, but if it isn't, it should not be a barrier to an appearance. ] (]) 05:32, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::You don't agree that material in Misplaced Pages should be ] using ]? How strange. Just fix the issue and there won't be any problems. You could have done that by now rather than coming here to defend something which is frankly indefensible. ] (]) 06:09, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::That something ''should be'' done is not the same as saying it ''must be'' done. Still, there's nine days before the anniversary, so it might just get done. The material in question is not within my area of expertise. I'm not able to fix this myself. ] (]) 07:30, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::::Who said it "must" be done? I don't know why you started this conversation really. I can't control what admins pull and don't pull, I simply report errors where I see them, and if something is unreferenced and needs to be challenged, that's what I'll do. With the entire resources of the Internet at your disposal, I'm sure you could have fixed the issue by now, or found someone to help you fix it. That would have been time much better spent than this peculiar thread. ] (]) 07:53, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::::{{stalker}} having seen this rather comical conversation unfold, I decided to go and see if I could fix up the Grenfell Tower fire article myself, which I have now done.

:::::::::::: Random {{stalker}} input. Years ago, for the release of Phantom Menace, Walkers crisps had a scratch card promotion to win random junk. A friend of mine got one, and on the card was a panel that said "do not scratch off". He scratched it off and underneath it said "You will never be a Jedi". I can hear his cries of anguish even now. I also had a look at Grenfell after seeing this. It was not immediately clear which paragraph that was being referred to (useful) but I see its been dealt with now. I made a minor deletion of some repeated material and went on my merry way ] (]) 10:50, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
{{od}} The fact that I hold administrative privileges has nothing to do with it. Unless I'm making an edit which only an admin could make, I'm just another ordinary editor. The object of the exercise was to ensure that there would not be a challenge on the day. ] (]) 12:03, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
:The fact that you're an admin means you ''should'' be aware of the basic principles of Misplaced Pages. I thought that was obvious.

* Following the ] took place at ], set of new task forces have been created and has been added to the ] as well.
Hi TRM. You've asked me to come to you with concerns rather than go to noticeboards in the past, so let's give that a whirl. I've noticed that you rather frequently threaten others with a case request at ArbCom, most recently as it relates to Gatoclass. I ask that you please refrain from doing so. If you think someone's conduct warrants a case request, you can certainly file one, but repeated threats merely have a chilling effect on contributions. To be clear, I'm asking this as a concerned editor, not an ArbCom member. ~ ]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">]</sup> 15:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

:Oh, sorry, you mean the same Gatoclass who threatened to take me to Arbcom? That one? Pull the other one mate, it's got bells on it. ] (]) 20:15, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
*# ]
::<nowiki>*</nowiki>sing* Why cant we be friends, why cant we be friends.... In more seriousness - I for one would prefer it if you *didnt* exit the project due to some overzealous admin less aware of the backstory being less polite than Rob here. No one is asking you to kowtow, but ultimately threats are meaningless unless the outcome is genuinely a possibility. I cant think of any situation where an arbcom case against either you or gatoclass at this point raised by the other party would end up without everyone involved just being told to grow up. In triplicate with fancy arbcom wording, but pretty much that. Be the duck. Do what you do best. Let the petards hoist as they will. But please would you keep the opinions inside. Its much easier to defend someone being treated unfairly if they are not issuing theats. Its not like there are not enough people watching. ] (]) 20:26, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
*# ]
:::Excuse me for being direct, but since when the fuck can an admin threaten to take a minion to Arbcom with impunity yet a minion be given all these "friendly warnings" when he's giving the lords and masters an opportunity to change their ways before the ceiling crashes down around them? After all, I seem to recall I have a very high hit rate with admins who I have advised that are going down the wrong path in the past, and this is no exception. If the self-appointed "DYK admin" apologises and promises not to repeat them then we have no problem. But, of course, I won't be holding my breath. In the meantime, I suggest this "warn TRM to be nice" stick is dropped and we all go back to ''trying'' to improve Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 20:32, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

::::If I’m not mistaken, Gatoclass was rather firmly trouted at the time of that threat, which was half a year ago, I think. I would similarly tell him to chill it with the threats if he developed a pattern of using them. Anyway, I’ve said my piece and hope you take it under advisement. Cheers. ~ ]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">]</sup> 20:45, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

:::::I don't even know what that means. Are you here to passive-aggressive threaten me with some kind of Arbcom sanction for requesting yet another admin to stop abusing his position? Are you giving said admin some advice on not abusing his position, you know, "under advisement"? Gatoclass was only trouted because another, responsible and helpful admin actively had to take him to ANI where he ''should'' have been taken all the way to be deysopped. But swerved that one, and now you mysteriously appear from nowhere (indicative of yet more off-wiki shenanigans from Arbcom for no good reason) to pass off this threat? Was there some kind of policy breach I was unaware of? It certainly doesn't breach any sanction against me? Why don't all three of us get back to improving some articles......... ] (]) 20:48, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Misplaced Pages 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 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Mentoring for FAC

Hi, I'm contacting you because I noticed your username is listed at WP:FAM and I am interested in nominating a FAC but have never done so in the past. I'm contacting several people listed as FA mentors so if you are busy that is okay. The article is Neurocysticercosis, a parasitic brain disease. I have started a peer review for the article which can be found at Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Neurocysticercosis/archive1. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!
