WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
• The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
• Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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.

Proposed deletion of Loren Culp

The article Loren Culp has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet WP:NPOL as an unelected candidate who has not held a significant public office

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.

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

• Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
• HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
• Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to 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. 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 yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Adopt Me?

Hey Prairie. I'm Go-Tsumaroki, or Tsu. I saw your adoptee form and wanted to ask if you would be willing to adopt me on Wikipedia. Being a teenager myself that gets into politics a lot we could help each other out in many ways. If you are willing to adopt me, just ping me and let me know. Thanks, Go-Tsumaroki (chat) 22:56, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

@Go-Tsumaroki: Hi Tsu! Unfortunately, I am really not active enough on Wikipedia to have an adoptee. I edit very sporadically and unpredictably. I am very grateful for finding Wikipedia as a teenager--I learned a lot of information, some great skills (both hard skills and soft skills, and I found a strong sense of purpose. It truly was an extraordinary gift to be a Wikieditor in high school. I do wish you the best of luck and feel free to reach out on a case-by-case basis should you have any questions. Keep me updated on your progress! Cheers. PrairieKid (talk) 05:05, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

@PrairieKid: Hey Prairie, I wasn't expecting a response from you back actually! I'm glad that we share some values with each other, and I'll update you when I get some milestones. Maybe we can get to know each other some more for future reference? Thanks, Go-Tsumaroki (chat) 13:30, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

UPDATE: Extended Auto Confirmed!!!

Yes! I said I was going to update/inform you about my milestones, so this is my first one! I just hit 500 edits a while ago and just got the rights! Go-Tsumaroki (chat) 23:40, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Removing police brutality from Spokane Police Department article

Thank you for starting the article on the Spokane Police Department last year. I'm surprised it took so long for someone to create the article and also surprised the article hasn't brought in more editors to flush out the contents since it's the largest city in Eastern Washington.

The current article is a short stub article with 4 sentences (with 3 citations) and an infobox. I recently tried to improve the article by adding 2 sentences (with 3 citations) about the Death of Otto Zehm, a much longer article about an unarmed disabled man killed by on on duty SPD officer where other officers in the department then tried unsuccessfully to cover up the homicide by altering the security footage. You removed the topic entirely from the article with the edit summary "WP:NPOV and WP:WEIGHT While among the most famous incidents with SPD, it would maybe warrant casual mention in a large article but hardly should be 1/2 the article". By that standard, I'm trying to figure out how a casual editor can help improve short stub articles without completely rewriting them.

If I instead added two sentences (with 3 citations) about what type of police vehicles are used, or the K9 Unit, or the architecture of the the police headquarters, would you have also removed those topics for being half the article? - RevelationDirect (talk) 09:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
