WikiCup 2021 May newsletter
The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, 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). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Help please
Hello. I am Wikipedia user Chynapras. You left me a message few days back on my talk page regarding asking questions to you if I have any problem. I want to create template on my Chynapras page. The one that considers informations like this user is from that place, this user loves to edit that article, etc. So can you please tell how can I create template on my page? It would be a great help. Thank you. Chynapras (talk) 13:59, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
I want to create a template on my user page. So please direct me on how I can create a template on my user page. Chynapras (talk) 14:00, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
@Chynapras: You can check whether you are from a native place in these categories if they do exist. Most probably you may not need to create separate template from the place where you live as you can search and get it in these categories such as Category:Nation of residence user templates, Category:Birthplace user templates and Category:Multiuse regional user templates.
If you can't find such place then follow like this. For example, if you are coming from Harare. (Its up to you to add where you live and I don't have idea where you are coming from) You can follow this method on how to create a template and can add parameters. Abishe (talk) 15:11, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 | This user lives in Harare. |
After finishing creating the template you can add {{User in Harare}} into your user page. Abishe (talk) 15:11, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Chynapras: You simply can put those by adding the template — Template:User infobox. — A.A Prinon Leave a dialogue 16:22, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Nice work. Do you have a ref for her name with long initials? Victuallers (talk) 09:36, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
@Victuallers: Hi thank you so much for nominating this article to DYK. I couldn't find a credible source which mentions about her name with long initials. I only have this source from Sri Lankan newspaper Sunday Times which has indicated only her initials. It is unlikely to find a reference in order to identify her full name as I tried that when I initially created this article. Abishe (talk) 11:26, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

==Speedy deletion nomination of LetsOTT
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on LetsOTT, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ==

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Kaushalya Weeraratne. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style.

Hello, Abishe,
I'm trying to understand exactly what happened here. Harshtripathi2914 created an article, Nishad Kumar, that was moved to Draft space, Draft:Nishad Kumar. And then you immediately create a new version of this page right after this move even though there is an existing version in draft space. Do you have a connection to Harshtripathi2914? Liz Read! Talk! 01:33, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Liz Oh shit my bad I really apologise for that error. I was creating a lot of Paralympic medal winners yesterday so I was in a hurry to create articles and I didn't notice that there was already a draft page for Nishad Kumar. I am extremely sorry that I didn't have the patience to look into minor things. Abishe (talk) 15:29, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are .svg){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, 
Lee Vilenski, 
BennyOnTheLoose, 
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. .jpg){kind=small}
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.

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Hi, I'm Dreamy Jazz. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Nuwandika Senarathna, and have marked it as unreviewed. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

- This is because the article uses many sources not related to the subject due to it being mostly a copy of Falan Andrea. I've also moved it back to draft space. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:23, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello Abishe,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:30, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
