DevBens, Wikipedia requires writing with a neutral point of view that is non-promotional. As well, please see this page for a guide on conflicts of interest. — Frostly (talk) 22:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Joan Million (15:47, 23 January 2024)

[edit]

Hello Frostly, happy to have you as a mentor. I wish to write an article, as a paid contributor, about a project about to be released. How should I proceed? --Joan Million (talk) 15:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Joan Million, welcome to Wikipedia! It's best to request an article when you're editing as a paid contributor, instead of drafting one yourself. This helps to maintain a neutral point of view! — Frostly (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your quick answer (and for the cute snowflakes)! :) I have no clue how this works. Is it a way to get it done/approved faster or somewhat pre-approved ?
I looked for the title of the article I would like to write about and it doesn't seem taken. I guess it's a good start.
I'll happily take in all your advice! Joan Million (talk) 01:01, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Joan Million, unfortunately, there's no way to accelerate the process. Requesting an article is the best venue for getting the article published! — Frostly (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the quick answer Frostly! Therefore, requesting an article implies that someone else would be creating it and writing the text as well. Is that correct?
Once again, thank you for your assistance. Joan Million (talk) 00:50, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joan Million, yes, that would be the case! They would write the article based on information available in published reliable sources. If you have any proposals for further content coverage after the article is published, you can then suggest them to editors. Best, Frostly (talk) 02:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I want to add to the Wikipedia article about the Anuak tribe attacking members of the Nuer tribe in the Gambella, Ethiopia region. A Lutheran Sudanese Pastor in our congregation here in Faribault, MN, Gatluk Reat, was to leave on a mission trip to his homeland yesterday but had to cancel because of tthe Anuak's attacks on the Nuer tribe. They have attacked people walking on the street, buses carrying people, cars and even an ambulance. --Rogerwilk (talk) 18:36, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rogerwilk, the appropriate venue to report alleged attacks would be local law enforcement. Wikipedia can only include information published in reliable sources, and editing with a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged. Best, — Frostly (talk) 21:50, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 February newsletter

[edit]

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

[edit]

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February 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 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
