DYK for Black Krrsantan[edit]

On 25 July 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Black Krrsantan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a reviewer called Black Krrsantan one of "the scariest characters in Star Wars history"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Black Krrsantan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Black Krrsantan), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Asyasylin on New Brunswick Real Estate Association (16:00, 3 August 2022)[edit]

How is this worded as an advertisement? My best guess would be the first paragraph, but I’m not sure. --Asyasylin (talk) 16:00, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think the editor that placed it there was really just referring to the first paragraph. The bigger issue with the article is that it has no references whatsoever. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 16:12, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kaleeb18,

I must admit that I'm surprised that an editor as proudly Christian as yourself, created User:Kaleeb18/UBX/Luciferian. I was looking over userboxes you created and it really stuck out from all of the rest. I guess, regarding userboxes, you are NPOV? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:35, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Liz Yes, I debated about whether making it or not, but I didn't want to be rude and yeah on Wikipedia I try to stay neutral as much as possible so that was a factor that played into the creation. I honestly just try to stay away from things I disagree with so my opinions do not get in the way. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 00:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Woody (Toy Story) revert[edit]

@Xfhxzf: Well that part gets messed with a lot with people arguing that Jessie is also a main character. So they put one of three main protagonists, while others will say one of two main protagonists. So I just thought it is best to leave it as one of the main protagonists. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:05, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well it says deuteragonist on Jessie, which means she’s a secondary main character. Xfhxzf (talk) 14:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Wingle Bingus: Hello and Welcome to Wikipedia! You were very close to doing it correctly. There was just no need for the underlines ( _ ). Remove the underlines and space out the words instead and it should be good. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 13:22, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2022 September newsletter[edit]

The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; 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 the remaining competitors, 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, and importantly, before the deadline on October 31st!

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, 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). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help 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. The judges are Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

Looks great! Also, do you think you could please make some Seinfeld userboxes. I’m a huge Seinfeld fan, and always thought it was weird that there’s almost no Seinfeld userboxes. Thanks!

Orson12345 (Talk • Contribs) 00:28, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I can do that, but I do not know a thing about the show so the only userbox I can think of to make is "This user watches Seinfeld" or something along those lines. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 01:11, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That one sounds good, maybe “This user used to work for Vandelay Industries” or maybe userboxes for favorite character such as, this user’s favorite Seinfeld character is Cosmo Kramer” something along those lines. And in terms of design, use whatever you thinks looks good, Thanks! :) Orson12345 (Talk • Contribs) 02:23, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Farewell[edit]

Hey Kaleeb,

So sorry to see you go. You were one of the first users I interacted with (Was it in the Teahouse?) and it pains me that you’re leaving. If you do decide to ever come back, I imagine there will be others that will be greeting you upon your return. But if this is it and you decide to move on to other things in life, I wish you the best moving forward. ‡ Night Watch ω (talk) 03:03, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2022 November newsletter[edit]

The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The 2022 champion is

Lee Vilenski (1752 points), who won in 2020 and was runner up in both 2019 and last year. In the final round he achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on cue sports. He was closely followed by
Bloom6132 (1732), who specialised in "In the news" items and DYKs, and who has reached the final round of the Cup for the past three years. Next was
BennyOnTheLoose (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by
Muboshgu (1082), an "In the news" contributor, a seasoned contestant who first took part in the Cup ten years ago. Other finalists were
Sammi Brie (930), who scored with a featured article, good articles and DYKs on TV and radio stations,
Kavyansh.Singh (370), who created various articles on famous Americans, including an FA on Louis H. Bean, famed for his prediction of election outcomes. Next was
PCN02WPS (292), who scored with good articles and DYKs on sporting and other topics and
Z1720 (25) who had DYKs on various topics including historic Canadians.

During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.

Lee Vilenski wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round.
Kavyansh.Singh wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
Adam Cuerden wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.
Z1720 wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.
Epicgenius wins the good article prize, for 32 GAs in round 1.
SounderBruce wins the featured topic prize, for 4 FT articles in round 1.
Lee Vilenski wins the good topic prize, for 34 GT articles in round 5.
Sammi Brie wins the good article reviewer prize, for 71 GARs overall.
Sammi Brie wins the Did you know prize, for 30 DYKs in round 3 and 106 overall.
Bloom6132 wins the In the news prize, for 106 ITNs in round 5 and 289 overall.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed on the discussion page. You are invited to sign up to take part in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners and finalists, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Question from QuidditchCup53 (19:22, 16 December 2022)[edit]

Hello, wow, it's amazing that Wikipedia has mentorship. I'm a student on his way to become a historian. I used Wikipedia a lot.

The thing is, I used to use the Wikipedia pages as I study history in university. But as I kept going back to the pages I noticed that often paragraphs would dissapear, often paragraphs that Hungarian histography disagrees with (even when German or British histography agrees). I looked into this and it seems Wikipedia seems to have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view policy. Removing sources that disagree with your nationalist version is not NPOV. Paragraphs that fall under WP:NPOVHOW are removed out of nationalist desire.

Is this normal? I assume there's plenty of Wikipedia pages in conflict like Russia-Ukraine, Armenia-Azerbaijan, but NPOV doesn't seem to be enforced here.

My first edit was History of Transylvania where I found a lot of Romanian - Hungarian debate, there is 1 Romanian and at least 3 Hungarians fighting over what content to keep. As I looked into similar pages, well, it's all a mess. Nationalist debates. I like history but I don't care for petty nationalism.

Question is, how do I navigate that? I assume a lot of nationalists are going to disagree with my edits and there will be no way to get consenus since the disagreement likely won't be done in good faith. I know wikipedia has a Neutral Point of View policy, but also you need Consensus, so how does that work? It's very easy to edit when nobody disagrees with you or the disagreement is in good faith.

But this is a "room" filled with nationalist desires, so how do I navigate it to provide an accurate unbiased article among so many nationalist desires? --QuidditchCup53 (talk) 19:22, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: this mentee was reassigned to you, perhaps you can help? — xaosflux ^Talk 16:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Hello, @Prof.Sunil, and welcome to Wikipedia. I would encourage you to read this overview of creating your first article, which may help you get started. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but it seems like you wish to create a page on the decreasing quality of education. If this is a particular phenomenon which meets our notability guideline (essentially, if it has been significantly covered in reliable sources), then it would be appropriate to write about — you could follow the article wizard to submit a draft. However, I would encourage you to get familiar with editing and improving existing articles first (the tutorial may be of use). It also seems like you may wish to establish some sort of membership-based learning platform. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so a major component of our goal is helping people access knowledge, but I'm fairly certain that any sort of membership-based learning platform would be outside of Wikipedia's scope.

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter[edit]

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
