WikiCup 2021 March newsletter

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

• Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
• Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
• ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
• Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
• Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
• The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
• Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
• Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
• Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
• Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or something 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!

A cup of coffee for you!

What with all those excellent articles you've been writing, you could probably use a cuppa to keep ya going! You've been on my radar as of late, and for such a new contributor, you are doing a really awesome job. Keep up the good work! CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 22:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

@CaptainEek: Thanks a lot, Cap. I very very much appreciate the cuppa! I can't wait to get back in action. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 16:43, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

I prefer tea. Panini🥪 16:19, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

League of legends scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the League of legends article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 19, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 19, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:45, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Help on Modern Warfare Remastered's Gameplay section

@ImaginesTigers: Hi. I apologize if you're still not back yet as a full-time editor, although from your recent contributions it seems like you're gradually getting back into the swing of things and I thought I'd reach out to you now. It's just regarding the issue of using original sources for the Gameplay section of Modern Warfare Remastered (which I'm sure you're probably tired of hearing about from me!), which per your advice in the peer review I brought up last month at WT:FAC here. It's my fault for not doing this sooner when you first suggested doing so and would have had more time on your hands to assist with reaching a consensus. I've had two users respond to my query but they were unable to agree on the outcome and so I thought I'd wait until you had time to contribute (I was also conscious of the fact the section would eventually be archived, although that seems a while away yet. Edit: it was archived on 21st March). Aside from this section reworking (if applicable) and the fact I've been trying to reach out to David Fuchs for help in incorporating a new set of images per the review, I feel confident in nominating the article for FA.

@Wikibenboy94: Hey, Ben. Sorry about the delay. I don't really have time to help right now—time is incredibly short for me. FA criteria requires comprehensiveness, but one way around that is using a hat to point readers to MW's gameplay section (as you've already done). My only concern is that you're going to run up against others who want the article to stand on its own, without external sources, and be able to understand the game. Ultimately this is a choice you're going to have to make yourself. If you deal with some confusion after the article is nominated, then just be courteous, implement requested changes (if they're actionable), and if you can't, explain (politely) why. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 14:24, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
