WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

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

• Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
• Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
• Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

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.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Question from Maria João Alexandre (19:59, 1 April 2024)

Dear Ezlev, glad to have you as my mentor.

I've just started today with Wikipedia. I started practising with some draft content on Sandbox as I had some doubts.

1. On the sandbox page, how can I save the text? 2. How can I submit the sandbox text to someone to verify it before publishing? 3. where should I store the pictures that I will add to the article?

Meanwhile, I will take some time to study all the editing rules.

I look forward to hearing from you. Maria --Maria João Alexandre (talk) 19:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Maria! Glad you're here. When editing any page, the "Publish changes" button will save your changes. It's usually blue and in the top right corner of your screen. Articles for creation is the process for having someone more experienced look at your article before it is published to the main encyclopedia. You can get started on an article using the Article wizard. As for photos, the information at Wikipedia:Images might help? Please feel free to let me know if you have any more questions! — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 21:11, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from TalentedRanish on Draft:BharatKul.com (18:16, 3 April 2024)

The article is in draft. Please guide me how to publish it from draft? --TalentedRanish (talk) 18:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi TalentedRanish, I assume you're referring to Draft:BharatKul.com? This can't be published as an article. Wikipedia articles must have a neutral point of view and be based on reliable sources. I'll leave a note on your talk page with some more information about how Wikipedia works. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 20:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from MEMZite (21:10, 10 April 2024)

What are all the syntax that I can use such as being able to hyperlink important articles or phrases?

Thanks --MEMZite (talk) 21:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

MEMZite, you may want to take a look at Help:Wikitext for syntax info! Let me know if you have any other questions. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 22:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

TYSM! MEMZite (talk) 00:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Partial objection (but not a true content dispute) regarding your revert of my edit

You reverted my edit here, and at least regarding the book it seems to be an appropriate action, as it probably meets notability despite the rather mixed quality of it’s coverage, so no objection to the action taken there, thank you for fixing my error.

That being said, I don’t believe that the requirement In general, a red link should remain in an article if there is a reasonable expectation that the article in question will eventually be created (either as its own article or as a redirect); remove red links if and only if Wikipedia should not have any coverage on the subject. (WP:REDLINK) is met for the two organisations due to lack of coverage that allows for inclusion.

If you disagree with my assessment, I would greatly appreciate a quick response?

Thank you :) FortunateSons (talk) 22:43, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

FortunateSons,

• Adalah Justice Project: [1], [2]; also covered in Greater Than The Sum of Our Parts by Nada Elia, which I'm reading this weekend. It's possible this should end up redirecting to a subsection of Adalah (legal center).
• Against Canary Mission: [3], [4], [5], for starters

These are from a couple minutes of searching. I think it's safe to say that there is a reasonable expectation that the article in question will eventually be created. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 23:07, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you.

Regarding Adalah, I agree with your assessment (but can’t currently access JSTOR, so I’m going to have to trust you on content).

I am a lot less sure certain about ACM, where the coverage (at least the ones I could find) was only in passing and of lower quality, but I don’t object to it staying for a while and seeing if it turns into something.

All other coverage I could find is probably insignificant or unusable for other reasons: [1][2][3][4][5][6].

Have I missed something? FortunateSons (talk) 23:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

FortunateSons, I'm not sure that you have missed anything. Maybe ACM could be incorporated into Canary Mission. I went ahead and removed that redlink. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 17:01, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Great, thank you very much :) FortunateSons (talk) 17:04, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Comments re GAN of Queers Read This

Was going to post this at Talk:Queers Read This but I had two personal notes that I can't give up ;)

While published anonymously, the identity of at least some of the writers is known. In ACT UP's correspondence, David Robinson claims he "wrote about half of 'I Hate Straights'" (i.e., Queers Read This). See Gale HDJXWX953408614, which is cited approvingly elsewhere. Robinson mentions that it's published under his name in the Windy City Times at some point, but I can't track down that issue now. It appears this is corroborated in David Feinberg's Queer and Loathing. Sarah Schulman gives the authors as "David Robinson, Maxine Wolfe, Heidi Dorow, Vincent Gagliostro, Tracy Morgan" in Let the Record Show. Schulman interviewed Finkelstein in 2010 here (hopefully good link?) where he confirms his involvement.

I imagine one can discuss the other projects authored by 'Anonymous Queers' in relation to IHS / QRT. Finkelstein's book After Silence lists some of these projects out at plate 10: Don't Tread on Me, etc. Besides this, it would be good to detail the contemporary reception of IHS / QRT. Outweek has a good long piece on it here, p. 40-45. There are other contemporary reviews / debates / arguments over it throughout the gay press. Insofar as it matters, I think the article can't meet WP:GACR#3 - broadness - if contemporary reception and authorship are elided.

Two other notes. One on the lighter side: You might find the image of Buttigieg at the bottom of this blog humorous. The other: You'd like Homosexuals Intransigent (redlink!), a very interesting and militant paper c. 1970. I might review the article properly but busy, busy, so just thought I'd stop by with a few comments. Best of luck, Urve (talk) 10:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Urve! These are important sources, and more than that, they look like fascinating reads. I'm grateful that you take the time to share your knowledge and wisdom with the world here on Wikipedia, and I'm eager to expand the article as soon as meatspace obligations allow.
(And yes, I did giggle at Buttigieg. Thanks for that.) — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 16:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
