Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Armistead Abraham Lilly, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Highland, New York. 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.)

You are invited to WP:URFA/2020, a working group reviewing featured articles promoted between 2004 and 2015. An article that you nominated for FA status, Capon Lake Whipple Truss Bridge, has been marked as "Satisfactory" by two editors, meaning that they believe the article meets the featured article criteria. Can you check the article and determine if the article meets the FA criteria? If it does, please mark it as "Satisfactory" on WP:URFA/2020B. If you have concerns about the article, we hope that you will fix it up or post your concerns on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, please go to the URFA/2020 talk page or ping me. Thanks for your help and happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 16:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for marking Capon Lake Whipple Truss Bridge as satisfactory; this allowed me to mark the article as "FAR not needed", bringing us one step closer to reviewing every FA promoted before 2016. I noticed that you successfully nominated other articles for FA status before 2016. Can you review these articles to ensure they meet the FA standards? Just like the above, please mark the article as "Satisfactory" at WP:URFA/2020B if it meets the FA criteria, or fix up concerns and post comments on the article's talk page if it does not meet the criteria anymore. Feel free to ask questions on the the URFA/2020 talk page or ping me. Happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 15:34, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Z1720, thank you for undertaking and facilitating this gargantuan effort to ensure that these articles still fulfill their FA status. I reviewed my own articles, and re-reviewed other articles that I am either familiar with, regularly monitor, or have reviewed for GA/FA in the past. I will check back regularly to review others as I have additional time. Thank you for making me aware of and including me in this effort! -- West Virginian (talk) 15:58, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really appreciate your work today with this. As you can see, we literally have thousands of articles to review, so every review helps. If you are looking for something more adventurous, I encourage you to review articles you are less familiar with to see if they still meet the standards. I review articles as if they were FACs and either fix up concerns or post them on the article's talk pages, pinging the original nominator. If you are feeling extra-adventurous, there are articles at WP:FARGIVEN where editors expressed concerns that the article doesn't reach the FAR criteria; editors can only nominate an article to FAR once a week, so we need more editors who are willing to nominate articles and give feedback if an editor wants to improve the article. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for your help. Z1720 (talk) 16:51, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As always, I really appreciate your guidance and expertise, and look forward to working with you again on another article soon. As an aside, I noticed that GOCE copyeditors no longer add an additional template with their username. Is this no longer a standard? I have been adding the copyedit to the article history template, but I always liked seeing the additional template with copyeditor's username, which Corinne introduced me to.

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter

[edit]

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:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
  • Christmas Island AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
  • Philadelphia GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
  • United Nations Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
  • SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
  • United Nations Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

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

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James Rumsey Monument. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, James Rumsey Monument), 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. 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.

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

[edit]

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:

  1. New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
  2. Christmas Island AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
  3. Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
  4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
  5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
  6. United States Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
  7. England Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
