WikiCup 2023 September newsletter[edit]

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)

Holiday Greetings[edit]

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Always a pleasure to see your work. ―Buster7 ☎

Bob Gibson GA Review[edit]

Hello there. I nominated Bob Gibson's article for GA review a few months back and with no answer. I was hoping, given your experience with GA reviews on baseball articles, perhaps you can check it out. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Omnis Scientia, it takes a while for baseball bios to get picked up there. I have a baseball GA nom that's been waiting almost as long as yours. Honestly with as busy as I am IRL I don't know that I have the time and attention required for that review right now, but I'll keep it in mind if it lingers. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:12, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I understand. Actually, I did one GA nomination once before and it got picked up almost instantly which is why was surprised this one was taking so long. Just got lucky that time, I guess. If such a wait is not uncommon then its understandable why its taking time. Thank you for taking the time to respond, regardless.

Various redirects to minor leagues players articles[edit]

I noticed you incorrectly several pages of this type recently. While "not mentioned at the target" is a rather common rationale at WP:RFD that often leads to deletion, it is not a WP:CSD and these fairly clearly fall under WP:!G6. As such please undelete the pages and list them at RFD, thanks. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:10E9:A2E3:79F6:A28E (talk) 17:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duly noted. I was unaware of that essay and can agree that I did not G6 appropriately. I'll undelete and take them to RFD. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:27, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:39B9:A943:564A:3BA (talk) 21:42, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Dennis Deer[edit]

On 26 June 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Dennis Deer, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai (talk) 03:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good/Bowman losing first[edit]

AP did not call Good yet, due to pending recount for final result. The final tally of initial results puts him behind McGuire, but still too close to call. RS (WaPo article I used) call Bowman as the first incumbent loss against non-incumbent. KiharaNoukan (talk) 16:25, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KiharaNoukan, I know this, but Good's race was before Bowman's, so if he did indeed lose, he lost "first". The real question, though, is: beyond the WP:RECENTISM of the 2024 election calendar, why does it matter who lost renomination "first"? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I just added it in as broader scope of existing language (first dem to lose in 2024). KiharaNoukan (talk) 16:32, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trump #61[edit]

Re: [1][2]

Can I get you on board with current consensus item 61? Is there a reason it doesn't apply to that thread? ―Mandruss ☎ 14:32, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mandruss I forgot about it tbh, and probably AGF too much. I'll try to remember it next time. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's not about their good faith; we shoot on sight bad faith complaints, per 61. Rather, it's about the time-wasting futility of nonspecific complaints. ―Mandruss ☎ 03:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yankees10, they should have been warned. I warned them. We encourage IPs to register accounts so I think they need more appropriate warnings for a block. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
