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.

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 your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

GA review

Hello, mate. I don't know if you review non-sports-related articles. I have recently nominated the page of Jawaharlal Nehru to be a good article. If you are interested, can you please review it?. Regards. TheWikiholic (talk) 18:00, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

TheWikiholic Hi. I am very sorry that I will unable to review this. As per my previous experiences, I am literally very bad in reviewing biographies and non-sport/transportation articles (I tried thrice and I ended up unfinished). Also, I feel I am not experienced enough to review the article of an important personality. And I am not getting enough time for Wiki nowadays. But, I can provide you some suggestion, that I found at first sight.
  • There are some single sentence paras. Try to avoid them
  • Some sections and sentences do not have citations
  • Citation formatting issues. There's a "External link error in one of them"
  • "1942 Quit India Movement | Making Britain" - Remove the "| making britain" and add it in publisher (or wherever suitable)
All the best.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  18:21, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Just wondering

Hi ArnabSaha - I was just wondering why you removed all the hidden "♦♦♦" marks from List of Kendriya Vidyalayas ? These marks are used in hundreds of articles to try and draw attention to hidden text (albeit that such hidden text is often still ignored). I just wondered if these was a good reason for their removal ? Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 09:32, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

@Arjayay I saw this for the first time. I was unaware of the reason and I thought maybe someone added it for decorations (as I have have seen users adding decorative things in articles). Sorry. I will revert my edit  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  15:59, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
No worries ArnabSaha - the problem is you can't use bold on the edit screen to emphasise a point so these are the way editors attract attention. - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 16:03, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021.

                 Current and upcoming events

September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!

Drive and Blitz reports

June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Other news

June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive).

Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above).

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

Appeal

Hi buddy, I have been contributing in an article named List of Indian football players in foreign leagues, an important destination for everyone who loves Indian football. In that, some sources are not even archived—going to be dead! If you save those through wayback machine (the process is not known to me), that would be greeeeeat for sure. Keep up your awesome work & stay safe Arnab!! ❤️💛 Billjones94 (talk) 16:25, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello @Billjones94. I have archived the links. There's a shortcut for archiving links. Go to "view history" there you will see "fix dead link", click that and iabot.toolforge.org page analyzer will open. Click the checkbox "Add archives to all non-dead references". It takes some time to archive the links.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  16:37, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Wow!! Indeed helpful. I'm really thankful to you.
