Royal Rumble 2023

Thank you for contributing to the article Royal Rumble (2023). And yes, WWE recognized Ripley as lasting 1 second longer in the women's Royal Rumble match then Liv Morgan, and I decided to add a note regarding other sources saying otherwise. Thanks for modifying that note into its own section. I am hyped for WrestleMania 39 in Inglewood, California. How about you? GodofDemonwars (talk) 00:05, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Super Bowl LVIII logo.png

Thank you for uploading File:Super Bowl LVIII logo.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

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.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  • Germany 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.
  • United States TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  • Byzantine Empire 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 Berkelland LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, New England Trainsandotherthings, England Lee Vilenski, Indonesia Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, Washington (state) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and Chicago 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!

Cena on RAW

As I pointed several times, Roster articles are not for weekly updated based on Storylines. There are no sources for Cena being assiged to RAW. He is just a worked and he appears wherever WWE wants, RAW, SmackDown or NXT. If there is no source for him, he stills unassigned. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:28, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HHH Pedrigree There's only 1 Raw left until Mania, and odds are Theory is gonna beat Cena and Cena will then disappear again for awhile, so as far as this one goes - meh...not worth the hassle. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:01, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NBA

I'm also a big fan of the NBA, especially the Brooklyn Nets. Honestly, when I saw this article, I was shocked. I honestly thought the Nets would do better than the previous season. How about you? I hope the Nets do slightly better... GodofDemonwars (talk) 11:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

McAfee

Please, don't include McAfee as wrestler. Wrestler section is not the default section for WWE talents. He mainly works as commentator, not as wrestler. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:34, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HHH Pedrigree"Not a wrestler"? Then what was he doing last night - selling hot dogs? Truthfully, right now McAfee doesn't have a set job in WWE. He isn't commentating on any show, he's not a full time wrestler, he just kinda shows up periodically and does whatever. To say he's "not a wrestler" isn't right, as he has wrestled a number of matches. At this point, the most accurate thing to say is McAfee is a part time special attraction who works the major shows in whatever role he is asked, be it as a commentator or wrestler Vjmlhds (talk) 14:22, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First, be polite. Second, as a other on air personnel is fine. As you said, he is not a commentator, but he is not a wrestler either. Yesterday he wrestled, months ago he was at the rumble behind the table. So, a other on-air personnel is fine, since that's what he is. A man under contract who appears on TV. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 14:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
HHH Pedrigree "Be polite"? I didn't say anything rude. Secondly, splitting the difference and calling him other personnel isn't my first choice, but I can live with it given his part time status. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:33, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London 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!

Question about cropping images

I've seen you do this before but how do you take an image that's already on Wikipedia and crop it? Are you just downloading the image, cropping it yourself, and then re-uploading it with a special tag? Or is there some kind of special tool on Wikipedia to do all that? JDC808 02:34, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

JDC808 Doing it the hard way. There's no Wiki tool to do it (that I know of any way). I take the established pic, use Windows Paint to do the cropping, and then upload my handiwork (making sure it is licensed properly). Vjmlhds (talk) 03:57, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Using dashes

Per recent edits at NXT Heritage Cup, you used the wrong kind of dash. I've seen you do this quite frequently actually. You often use just a regular hyphen, which is incorrect depending on the usage. I can't remember exactly where, but I've brought this up elsewhere but it seems to have been ignored.

There are three types of dashes: a regular hyphen (aka minus sign), an en-dash, and an em-dash.

hyphen: -

en-dash: –

em-dash: —

The hyphen is only used for hyphenated words or used in math as the minus sign. The en-dash is used for number ranges (e.g., 1–10). The em-dash is essentially another way to write parentheses. Oftentimes when I've seen you write a hyphen, it should have been the em-dash (the longest dash).

If you're editing from a desktop computer, the dashes can be found in the toolbar at the bottom of the edit box and they're on the far left. If you're on mobile, long press on the minus sign and it will bring up the en-dash and em-dash to select (at least that's how it is on Android).

It might sound a bit pedantic but it makes for much cleaner writing. JDC808 07:36, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contestants achieved 11 featured articles, 2 featured lists, 47 good articles, 72 featured or good article reviews, over 100 DYKs and 40 ITN appearances. As always, any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember 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. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk).

Someone is really upset that I'm not standing for bullying.

Our little buddy is now trying to file a sockpuppet investigation. Subtle, isn't it? SkylerLovefist (talk) 00:26, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SkylerLovefist Remember the discussion we had over referees on the Impact roster talk page? We had it settled in November 2022, and then in April 2023 - 5 full months later - someone had to put in 2 more cents. This SPI feels the same way...just spending weeks and months having 1 thing and only 1 thing on your mind, digging through God knows how many years of article history try to prove to somebody that maybe 2 + 2 might equal 5. Who stews over stuff on Wikipedia for that long? This is almost getting scary. Dwelling on months old issues/grudges, and looking for ways to "get" someone - that kind of thing happens in the real world, restraining orders get issued, because some people won't be ignored.

It's strange how other long-time editors aren't doing anything to discourage it either. It's beginning to feel like they're proving you right about having nothing outside of Wikipedia and they don't even realise it. SkylerLovefist (talk) 03:49, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Part of it's that, and part of it is just getting their popcorn and watching, because for them, this is exciting...which kinda circles back to the original premise doesn't it. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It really does. All because of someone trying to posture regarding some referees and other people telling him not to. SkylerLovefist (talk) 04:27, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And now we've got another allegedly "professional" editor "helping" him. I never realised how many people who edited wrestling pages on here had a God complex. You'd think that guys who totally aren't editing for their own egos and are totally doing it to keep the site at its highest quality wouldn't be aiding someone's extremely creepy little vendetta, wouldn't you?
