Super Paper Mario

Hello! Just notifying you that Super Paper Mario, one of the final major steps towards a Paper Mario GT, has been nominated for good article status. Unlike the other two, I didn't have to do much to get it to this point (you've done basically half [1]), and I won't take much credit for this. Panini🥪 14:03, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Very cool, thanks for letting me know - happy to share credit! You're doing great work. Toa Nidhiki05 16:01, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

About SB Nation sources

Hi Toa Nidhiki05, SB Nation may not be a bad source but I think there are better sources than SB Nation such as Detroit News. If you insist on keeping the SB Nation sources, feel free to do so. You have did a great job with the article, and therefore, I will pass it as a GA-article. --AlabamaFan101 (talk) 04:14, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

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:

  • New York (state) 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.
  • Republic of Venice Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  • Scotland 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.
  • Rwanda 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.
  • Botswana 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.
  • United States Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
  • England 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!

Tables for election articles

Thanks for taking care of those pesky tables! I've been trying to take care of them but received a lot of pushback from other users, including the original user who advocated for them, so I gave up. I'd like to turn your attention to the articles that still have those tables:

That's all I could find. The tables seem limited to races that are to be held in 2021 and 2022, but I don't know if they're being expanded to other elections held pre-2021. Again, thanks! Love of Corey (talk) 06:45, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

2022 North Carolina Senate Race

The source: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-lara-senate-north-carolina-b1816787.html quotes Lindsay Graham as saying "If she runs, I certainly will be behind her, because I think she represents the future of the Republican Party." referring to Lara Trump.

One, she's not a candidate. Two, saying you'd support someone hypothetically in the future isn't an endorsement. Is he talking primary or general, for example? Toa Nidhiki05 02:43, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Lego Bionicle: Quest for the Toa

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Lego Bionicle: Quest for the Toa you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jaguar -- Jaguar (talk) 23:21, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. It's a week shy of exactly a year, but there were some changes to the scope of WP:ARBAP2 that I don't know you know about.

Blocked

You and IR2017 have been blocked for one week from New Democrat Coalition, Blue Dog Coalition and Republican Governance Group due to edit warring. Use the talk pages. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:36, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Good deal. Did you revert to the previous consensus version, before the editing war began? CambridgeBayWeather Toa Nidhiki05 16:42, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
No because I don't know which is the correct version. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:58, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
The original versions:
The section in question is “See Also”. If you wanted you could just copy the old version to the current page edit. I am fine with the temporary block because it forces him to go to the talk, I just think per WP:BRD the page should not have the contested edit in the interim. CambridgeBayWeather Toa Nidhiki05 19:02, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
You could use the talk page and ask if others agree. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
I have. Other editors on those pages reverted back as well. It’s not a matter of agreement. That’s the original version that the dispute is over. Since when do we allow contested edits to remain while discussion is ongoing. Toa Nidhiki05 19:13, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
And he just deleted my post asking for discussion. CambridgeBayWeather Toa Nidhiki05 23:31, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 May newsletter

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 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:

  • Botswana The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
  • Republic of Venice Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  • Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
  • England Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
  • England Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
  • Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
  • Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember 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 (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Awkward source

Hi. I did a quick search for anything that might substantiate the assumption that content was cut from the 2003 Bionicle monstr-ahem, game. I found this post from someone working with the BIoMedia project who got into contact with a number of Argonaut staff, and includes some juicy details about its production (original concept, team history, engine info, production problems). The problem is it's from Tumblr, which is traditionally inadmissible as a source. I don't feel comfortable adding it to the source suggestions page of the article, but I thought I'd leave it here. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:20, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Funnily enough, ProtoDrake, I’m quite familiar with them and have stumbled upon their source. It’s public knowledge at this point that the game was developed last-minute and half the levels were cut - but sadly a RS has never reported it and I’m not sure an argonaut employee has ever publicly said this under their real name. It’s very unfortunate. Toa Nidhiki05 10:57, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Even though Steny Hoyer has the title of House Majority Leader, since he is second in rank he does not belong in the leadership spot, if we were to include second ranking people, then we would have to add Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin as well. Moreover when people talk about democratic leaders in congress they always refer to the top democrat in the House and top democrat in the Senate(Pelosi and Schumer). Also, House Majority leader hasn't been included in this article going back years. Therefore he should be removed. So please do not add him.Uzenaes (talk) 13:03, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Rather than edit-warring at Cindy Hyde-Smith, please explain yourself in a discussion on the talk page. I will place similar notices on other involved editors talk pages. Jacona (talk) 11:48, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

@Jacona: Toa Nidhiki05 is entirely correct here. Is Hyde-Smith a white supremacist? 100% (in my opinion, an opinion which does not necessarily reflect that of Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation, or anyone besides myself affiliated thereto). However, lines like: "It is unclear whether Hyde-Smith was demonstrating allegiance to the Confederate States of America. She also has not disclosed her position on treason or crimes against the United States," are unequivocally inappropriate in the prose of an article in Wikipedia's voice. Furthermore, the onus is on the editor(s) including new material to discuss it on the talk page should their edit be reverted, not vice versa. Toa does not need to "explain themself in a discussion on the talk page." TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:26, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, Botswana The Rambling Man and New York (state) Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Republic of Venice Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, England Lee Vilenski, Zulu (International Code of Signals) BennyOnTheLoose, Rwanda Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. George Floyd mural Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, 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 14 days of "earning" them.
