Welcome to the 2020 WikiCup!

Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today and all article creators, expanders and improvers are welcome to take part. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page. We are relaxing the rule that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2020 will count; now to be eligible for points in the competition, you must have completed significant work on the content at some time! Any questions on the rules or on anything else connected to the Cup should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. Good luck! The judges for the WikiCup are Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email), Godot13 (talk · contribs · email), Vanamonde93 (talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:43, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2020 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points.
Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare.
Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status.
The top ten contestants at the end of Round 1 all scored over 200 points; they also included L293D, Kingsif, Enwebb, Lee Vilenski and CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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.

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 newsletter correction

There was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter; L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead, Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews.

webcitation.org

FYI: [1] I believe you are the editor adding these? It's creating link rot in many articles. Use the original URL in the |url= field as designed, or it creates link rot. Archive providers stop working - we can move it to a different archive provider, but it we don't know the original/source |url= then it's a goner. - GreenC 14:41, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenC: I would be very surprised if Typhoon2013 was responsible for the addition of the links you mention - bearing in mind that he has only edited the article in question 7 times and that the 2013 in his name is deliberate.Jason Rees (talk) 00:04, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct my apologies. It was added by the article creator. -- GreenC 00:45, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Typhoon Committee

FYI the Typhoon Committee meeting was cancelled this year, as a result we can not out any names down as retired yet.Jason Rees (talk) 20:35, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jason Rees: Yep I was already aware. I thought they would be delaying the meeting until the end of May, though? From the last page of this. -- Typhoon2013 01:18, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Well lets wait and see how things play out as its likely going to be postponed again if things continue as they are! However, if you were already aware that the meeting was cancelled, why did you re-add the retired names the other day? Jason Rees (talk) 23:43, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jason Rees: I do not recall re-adding the retired names "the other day". However would this count? -- Typhoon2013 01:08, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

No it doesnt count as it is just a DRAFT as a result until the committee meets we can not add them in.Jason Rees (talk) 18:21, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proof

Do you have any proof of this? I feel like I've ran into a similar problem before. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yellow Evan: As per my edit in the 1992 PTS, Gary turned out to be "Ditang". No other TCs formed between Gary and Janis with the exception of Irving that was within the PAR. I have emailed PAGASA recently once again to provide a source of confirmed PAGASA storms from 1989 through to 1996. My source that I have used to confirm about Gary is in the 1992 talk page. -- Typhoon2013 01:26, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Hog Farm with 801, Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim 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!

The system making 9 may. Not making 10 may. Please edit real data. This system formed 9 may. Talk JTWC Vala keep (talk) 07:28, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vala keep: Please explain clearly and what system you are talking about. -- Typhoon2013 07:34, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Typhoon2013: Vala keep is talking about Ambo 2020 which was only designated as a tropical depression at 00z on May 10. Jason Rees (talk) 13:28, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jason Rees: Oh I see now and thanks. I updated about Ambo the same time I edited the AusTL had dissipated that's why I got confused to which system the user was preferring to. But yes Ambo formed on 10/5 00z and as of this edit the JTWC has not declared this as a TD yet. -- Typhoon2013 13:47, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Re: Checkup

Hey there Typhoon2013! I'm doing OK - I've been busy in RL working (I'm lucky I still have a job!) and just trying to manage my sanity in general. I'm working on a few projects on Wikipedia, including trying to maintain 2005 AHS as FA, an active FAC for Effects of Hurricane Wilma in Mexico, and eventually getting Hurricane Wilma to FA. I'll probably be editing more as of next week, when one of my jobs finishes up (I teach music at a community college).

As for your question of getting an article to GA, there are a lot of things to do, but it's a few basic elements.

Is it comprehensive? Will a quick Google search reveal information that isn't in the article?
Are the sources reliable? Are you mostly using blogs or original research?
Is all of the content sourced? Do the citations use Template:Cite web, with proper entries for all of the related fields?
Is everything spelled right and the grammar makes sense?

If the answer to all of them is yes, then the article should pass a GA nomination pretty easily. That can be more difficult for costlier/deadlier storms, or for older storms. That's why most new users start with low-impact storms, or List articles. So, with all of that, do you have an article that you're eyeing toward improving? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:53, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: On a side not too, wow I really forgot you did music too! I am on to music too, and currently doing a music theory lecture in university. -- Typhoon2013 01:11, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah nice! Nothing like music theory to understand why songs work the way they do. As for your failed GAN's, it looks like the articles were pretty good. Tropical Storm Haikui (2017) looks the most incomplete of the three of them, as the MH is incomplete. It looks like the GA reviews identified what you can do for the articles, you just needed more time to finish them? Is that it? If that's the case, you should go back to the articles and clean them up, because they look pretty good :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:27, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: Yep! I am more into composition, though, but music theory was the only available one for my timetable :( . And also yes, my plan is to work in those articles if I also have the same (but they will be my priority!) as I currently have loads of work in uni atm. Definitely will do it before tropical activity flares up again for sure. But yea I really want to complete those articles because I have been here editing for years without having a GA article. -- Typhoon2013 23:34, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
