You know, you're not WRONG that the message went against WP rules, but honestly, I'd just leave old comments alone, haha. Like I said, not a big deal, just some sage wisdom. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 07:58, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

You are probably right. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:04, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

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.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  • Germany 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.
  • United States TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  • Byzantine Empire Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included Berkelland LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, New England Trainsandotherthings, England Lee Vilenski, Indonesia Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, Washington (state) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and Chicago PCN02WPS. 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.

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I believe the dispute has ended. I tried to get them to move to the talk page, I hope they will. Sorry about the reverts. QuicoleJR (talk) 20:41, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

You cannot just tell me off for an edit war that you are the other party of. I left you a message on the article's talk page. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:09, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
QuicoleJR, it's not a good look to blame me for your actions there, especially considering you were already warned for edit warring this month. You don't have consensus on the talk page for those changes, and that's absolutely not an excuse to edit war when you were already told that directly violated policy. Running over to my talk page to template me when I was obviously already aware of the edit warring at the page just comes across as projecting. I've cautioned you about talking past people too when it came to just declaring something is reliable, so the content goes in.
You are a relatively new account, but that isn't an excuse either. Please read WP:CONSENSUS if you aren't familiar with how we do things at Wikipedia. In the meantime, I will remind you that it helps a lot if you self-revert your recent edit warring until there's consensus for the content. If we have to increase protective measures on that page, it is more likely to lead to a block if someone refuses to gain consensus for content before reinserting or otherwise avoiding policy.

I concede. You are probably correct. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:44, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
