WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

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:

• Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
• Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
• FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
• TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
• Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

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!

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

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:

• Iazyges (1040) with three FAs on Byzantine emperors, and lots of bonus points.
• Unlimitedlead (847), with three FAs on ancient history, one GA and nine reviews.
• Epicgenius (636), a WikiCup veteran, with one FA on the New Amsterdam Theatre, four GAs and eleven DYKs

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!

Hello, I'm Nythar. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Nythar (💬-🍀) 13:11, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Which article?, i created 2 pages recently. John.GGVV (talk) 13:15, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Both are written promotionally. They also don't seem to meet WP:GNG. You might want to consider writing articles neutrally. Reliable sources would also help prove notability. Nythar (💬-🍀) 13:22, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

okay i'll try find reliable sources but why the sources i added not reliablity?. And thanks for the information what you provid. John.GGVV (talk) 13:43, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

so the page become non promotes the subject in a subjective manner?. thanks in advance. John.GGVV (talk) 13:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

I removed those parts because they were not sourced. Whenever you add content to an article, you should make sure that it is accompanied by reliable sources that support all of the content that you're adding. Please read WP:Verifiability to see why this is important and then read WP:Reliable sources to see what counts as a reliable source. Nythar (💬-🍀) 02:50, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Okay i get it. Thanks. John.GGVV (talk) 02:54, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello John.GGVV. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:John.GGVV. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=John.GGVV|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:25, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello @DoubleGrazing, what are you saying how i know Sheikh Khalid he is very famous man and i can't even talk to him, as i said and told in Live chat i did this page to stop the rumors about him and the king of jordan as example if a british man hear a rumor about his king he'll try to stop it that's all.

You told me to do the resubmit i didn't do anything from my own.

You can see in arabic i have many articles about policy and diplomatic persons. John.GGVV (talk) 12:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

None of that actually quite answers the question. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:39, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

I told you the reason and answer why i create the page and no i don't have any Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests.

You can also check the Live chat from the help they consider me these sources are notability so i edit alot on this page you're right to solve the problem about notability of the perosn. John.GGVV (talk) 12:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Khaled Al Saif moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Khaled Al Saif. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Fancy Refrigerator ^(talk) 15:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Good morning, User:Fancy Refrigerator The sources are from Al Arabyia, TIME, Sky News and CNN i hope now i can submit review for draft, what do you think?. John.GGVV (talk) 16:46, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

@Mcmatter John.GGVV (talk) 02:41, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

These are stories about his daughter not him. He is mentioned but no significant coverage about him. He currently seems to be a footnote in his daughters life. Notability is not inherited from other people in their life. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 03:31, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

@Fancy Refrigerator, Also i removed 5 sources aren't reliablity. Thanks in advance. John.GGVV (talk) 02:40, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Khaled Al Saif

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 Draft:Khaled Al Saif, 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.

Hello, John.GGVV. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 18:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Disappointed

@Bbb23 @Deb @DoubleGrazing @McMatters,, I am really very disappointed with the way of dealing with Wikipedia. Dealing with Arabic Wikipedia is much better and there is understanding, but what happened today is a farce in every sense of the word, disrespectful and unprofessional at all because after more than 48 hours of effort and all the requests of the editors have been completed, you come to tell me about it. The first article is that I am receiving payment for publishing the article, then the second article is that I am writing propaganda. This is disrespectful and mocking the minds of others and a waste of time. I will file an official complaint to the wiki organization about what happened, and I have all the evidence that proves that the issue has become personal and not professional at all. Thanks.
