WikiCup 2023 May newsletter
The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
Iazyges (1040) with three FAs on Byzantine emperors, and lots of bonus points.
Unlimitedlead (847), with three FAs on ancient history, one GA and nine reviews.
Epicgenius (636), a WikiCup veteran, with one FA on the New Amsterdam Theatre, four GAs and eleven DYKs
BennyOnTheLoose (553), a seasoned competitor, with one FA on snooker, six GAs and seven reviews.
FrB.TG (525), with one FA, a Lady Gaga song and a mass of bonus points.
Other notable performances were put in by 
Sammi Brie, 
Thebiguglyalien, 
MyCatIsAChonk, 
PCN02WPS, and 
AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
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 and Cwmhiraeth.

DYK for Cathy Whims
On 10 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cathy Whims, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Cathy Whims has opened several restaurants in Portland, Oregon, including the Nostrana, which has been described as "Portland's capital of the Negroni"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cathy Whims. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Cathy Whims), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Unfortunately, since I've never been involved in GA reviewing at all, I'm not familiar with that set of standards — I've done AFC reviewing of drafts, but what's good enough to get a draft promoted to mainspace and what's good enough to get an article conferred with GA status are obviously two very different things. So I'll certainly take a look at it and let you know if I come across anything really obvious that jumps out at me, but I really couldn't give an authoritative assessment of whether it's GA-worthy or not.

@Bri: I think I've resolved this issue on my own, hopefully in a way which meets your preferences. I moved my page into draft space, then moved your draft into main space. Then I re-pasted my page over yours. Essentially this now credits you for starting the article but now shows my expanded version. Does this solution work for you? If not, I can add back your histmerge request, but my understanding is that only works for copy-and-paste moves. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:17, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Tips on fair use images
Extended content
|
|---|
|
I noticed the FAC image discussion for Cherry Valentine recently when I came back to activity (too late to comment on it, unfortunately), so I thought it might be useful to give some advice on fair use images now I've added one back to the article. They can be a little messy, especially at FAC, though honestly 99% of the time you can get away with less than this. The messiest of the criteria (and the one you were getting asked about at FAC) is 'respect for commercial opportunities'. This is basically "if some news org needs a photo, are they going to pay the rightsholders for one or just take what Wikipedia has?". For fair use images, because they aren't licensed in a way that the hypothetical news org can do that without infringing on someone else's copyright, we want to make sure they don't. For deceased article subjects, the big things to think about here are 1. other times an image has been used commercially (e.g. if it was used in ads for TV appearances) and 2. obituaries. Most obits use images that were provided to them by a corporate rightsholder, and have paid for the rights to use them. Similarly, any image that was used to advertise a person or a TV show or anything else is obviously being used commercially, so it's safer to stay away from them unless you really don't have alternatives. The safest route for someone like Cherry Valentine is using a selfie, like I did there. Selfies are rarely used commercially, the rights are held by the subject (so they generally go to the family after death, rather than being held by a company), and they're pretty easy to find for somebody popular on social media. Obviously this isn't doable for everyone, but the kind of subjects you write about tend to have a lot of them. Something you can consider for living subjects as well is that some people are willing to license a selfie with a Wikipedia-appropriate license if you ask -- there's a guide to the process for that here -- which can be a way to get free images of a living person with none. Once you've done that, you can really just fill in the blanks like I did here for the rationale. This is more in-depth than I'd usually do, because of the FAC argument, but here's another recent fair use image upload of mine with a similar one. For a subject like Cherry Valentine who had an article long before she died, it's generally not hard to demonstrate that there aren't free images -- the article would've had one already if there were. I hope this helps -- it can be a little tricky. Like I said, in most circumstances you can get away with a lot less than this, but this is how to really make sure the fair use rationale works, especially at FAC. It's also helpful when you get the occasional flare-ups of arguments around fair use images (I had an article subject die right in the middle of one, which resulted in an unusually long rationale).

Hi! You beat me to it here – I was editing to self-correct when I realised the edit had already been made. Apologies for the assertion that it was right before when actually it wasn't (and since it was I who added the Further reading section, I should really have remembered that it was there).

- All good! Thanks for the note. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:04, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
