WikiCup 2022 July newsletter

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • Zulu (International Code of Signals) BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
  • Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that 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 a good article nomination, 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Question from TG2312 (00:24, 8 July 2022)

Hello! I just joined Wikipedia and decided to edit the page of British filmmaker Steve McQueen. I wanted to add his upcoming feature film titled “Blitz” to his filmography, but in trying to do so, I completely messed up the coding and somehow all of his accolades and such got smooshed into that filmography section. I have no idea how to fix it. Can you help me? --TG2312 (talk) 00:24, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

At Steve McQueen (director)? Looks like someone already cleared it up for you :). Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 05:38, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Congratulations, Lee Vilenski! The list you nominated, 2020–21 snooker world rankings, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

The article 2020 World Seniors Championship you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:2020 World Seniors Championship for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hey, how's it going? I see you've reviewed football-related articles for FA in recent years. A.C. Monza has been a candidate for over three weeks, and there are almost no comments. I would really appreciate it if you took some time to leave a comment (it doesn't necessarily have to be a full review) :) Nehme1499 21:11, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Ashen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:05, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Xavier Gretillat

Question from Shaktischmuck (05:08, 22 July 2022)

Hi I want to write about my brand on wikipedia? how can I do that

Thanks Jyotsna --Shaktischmuck (talk) 05:08, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Shaktischmuck - the simple answer is not to. If you have a conflict of interest for a topic, you shouldn't write about them. You should wait until a third party writes about your topic, provided they meet the notability guidelines. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 12:42, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

GANs

Hi. Would you GA review Federico Gatti and Fabio Miretti? Please, understand that I had nominated them in April, but they haven't been seen yet. Dr Salvus 19:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry DRS, I'm a little snowed under and not really contributing much. I don't mind taking a look when I get a few minutes, but it might not be soon. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 09:02, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
