WikiCup 2023 July newsletter

The third round of the 2023 WikiCup has come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 175 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

Contestants achieved 11 featured articles, 2 featured lists, 47 good articles, 72 featured or good article reviews, over 100 DYKs and 40 ITN appearances. As always, 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. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk).

Study invitation

Hi @Matthewrb, thanks for patrolling edits and reverting vandalism! I wonder if you are interested in our ongoing study for patrollers. The study aims to evaluate AI models that power recent change filters, Huggle, SWViewer, and many other anti-vandal tools. Your feedback can be really helpful! If you're interested, please check out our recruitment page for more information. Thank you for your consideration! Tzusheng (talk) 00:28, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, @Tzusheng! Thank you for the ping, I'll take a look. I will have to wait couple of weeks, though, as I'm traveling starting tomorrow. ~ Matthewrb Talk to me · Changes I've made 18:42, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi @Matthewrb, thank you for your consideration! We are actually good with the number of participants for the current study we are running this week. However, we are still recruiting about 5 to 10 more experienced Wikipedians to help with a quick 30-minute validation two weeks later. Specifically, this validation aims to see whether Wikibench (the system we develop to curate labeled edits that can be used to evaluate ORES's and other AI's predictions), indeed helps anti-vandalism patrollers achieve consensus on a small set of ambiguous edits that are more difficult to tell whether they are damaging or bad faith. Given your rich experiences, you'll be one of the most ideal candidates to help make the ultimate assessment on the quality of labeled edits. This 30-minute validation can also be done asynchronously whenever you're available. Do you mind if I reach out again two weeks later (mid-July) for your help? Thank you very much!

@Tzusheng That is perfect! I'm back home July 13th if it helps. ~ Matthewrb Talk to me · Changes I've made 19:05, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
@Matthewrb Thank you! It will likely be the week from July 16 to 22 or July 23 to 29. I'll keep you posted. Safe travels! Tzusheng (talk) 19:08, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi @Matthewrb! The validation study is ready on this wiki page, which includes the background, purpose, and instructions. As always, I am available anytime to answer questions. Thanks again for your kind offer to help! Tzusheng (talk) 13:38, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
Awesome, thank you! I'll take a look today. ~ Matthewrb Talk to me · Changes I've made 17:24, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
