Proposed deletion of Laura Robson (disambiguation)

The article Laura Robson (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. 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 ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · 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.

Superia to Superia (comics)

Thanks for fixing those links; I'd planned on doing that tidyup myself- i.e. finishing what I'd started- via AWB. However, once I started I realised I didn't have AWB permission for en.wikipedia and had to wait a couple of days for that to come through, by which point you'd already done it.

(I notice you didn't use AWB anyway, but I wasn't aware of that other tool at the time).

All the best,

List of war memorials in Surrey

Hi @Rodw: I hope you don't mind me contacting you, but I am seeking your advice as someone who has successfully nominated Featured Lists and as someone with a past connection to Surrey!
Murgatroyd49 and I would like to create a List of war memorials in Surrey page, using material from the List of public art in Surrey article. The latter currently lists over 70 memorials and my feeling is that there are at least another 50 (and very possibly another 100) still to add. A new list would also give us the opportunity to include "indoor" memorials, which are excluded from the scope of the public art page (I know of around a dozen villages that don't have an "outdoor" memorial, but do have plaques inside their churches, for example.)
Before we go ahead and formally propose the split, we would like to consider whether the table format that's currently used is the most appropriate. I have half an eye on a Featured List nomination in the very far future, so I am keen to make sure that any formatting/layout decisions we take now do not cause us difficulty with reviewers. We have been playing around with some possible options at User:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. Would you be able to drop by and let us know what you think please? We have started a discussion at User talk:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. There's also the question of breaking up the table by grouping the memorials into different categories by design/appearance.
It would be great to get your perspective. Thanks very much for your help. Mertbiol (talk) 12:58, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
