WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

TFA for Can I Get It

Hi, you have listed Can I Get It for TFA at pending for May. I have tentatively reserved a date for it, but if you would still like it be considered you will need to nominate it at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests, which is now open. Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild: Thanks for the notification. From my understanding of the table, Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption does not have a date association with May 5. So could it be possible to rearrange the order to go Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption for May 3, Can I Get It for May 5 (Adele's birthday), Thank You (Meghan Trainor album) for May 12 (Mother's Day, which Trainor is associated with and track 13 on the album, "Mom", usually climbs the iTunes chart on), and Doom (2016 video game) for May 13 (the game's release date which was highly favored on the TFAR)?--NØ 17:58, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

HELP

Hello MaranoFan, I'm in need of your help. Please see this discussion, I'll be on the lookout for your response. dxneo (talk) 16:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I'll have to look at that over the weekend. Sorry for the delay!--NØ 03:22, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
MaranoFan, I've been patiently waiting sir, and I thank you for accepting my invitation to WP:WKND. Talking about WikiProjects, I have stumbled into a little a problem, I'm having a hard time creating an "/Assessment" page/template. I have referred to a couple of WikiProjects and they are formatted differently. However, WP:WikiProject Adele seems a little less difficult because it seems like a bot was used to assess the pages but it's still a little tricky. So do you have any pointers on how to get around it? Please do teach. dxneo (talk) 01:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
@Dxneo: Sorry for keeping you waiting! To answer your earlier questions,
  1. I wanted to ask if it was possible for a remix to have a standalone article? I have seen a lot of remixes that did extremely well in the charts, certifications, awards and obviously have news coverage so I was just wondering since I never came across one.
While probably possible, it is extremely unlikely that a remix warrants a separate article from the original song. The promotional efforts, lyrical and composition details, and even chart positions for these versions usually overlap, negating the need or possibility of separate articles. Talk:Levitating (song) has the latest discussion regarding this, which concluded the song's two notable versions were better off covered in one combined article.
  1. How does one go about creating a WikiProject page for an artist, do I keep it in my user/draft til it's complete or not because if it was an article I could probably create a stub, so how does it work?
You can pretty much create a WikiProject page right away, copying around the syntax from other WikiProject pages. Although proposing it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council and advertising the idea on talk pages related to the subject can be useful to help recruit members.
  1. What are the requirements for creating a album discography article?
Singles and albums discography articles are only split when an artist has had an extremely high amount of output. Think Drake or Rihanna. I don't think the Weeknd qualifies yet.
As for filling in the different WikiProject subpages, it is a complex task. You can follow along my contributions while setting up the Olivia Rodrigo wikiproject and substitute her name with The Weeknd wherever necessary. I hope this is helpful!--NØ 02:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
