WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

  1. New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
  2. Christmas Island AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
  3. Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
  4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
  5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
  6. United States Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
  7. England Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also 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. 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. 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.

Shrimad Rajchandra page edits

Thank you for your comments Nizil. I am new to editing on wikipedia but I have understood what your are saying. I have tried to use more neutral language in the additions i am proposing under each section below as these are important facts that would help a reader understand more about Shrimad Rajchandra. I have also tried to cite all the factual statements and have referenced the page numbers as well. Nonetheless, do let me know what other amendments need to be made! Thankyou for your cooperation and patience-


Family life: This is evidenced through his writings in [1], a 108 chapter short-text, which he wrote at the age of 16. Sharing his views on family life and spirituality, he writes “The pleasure, which I get from religion, conduct, morality and scriptural study, is indescribable. I have the aspiration to give up all types of connections.”

Business: Despite being a successful businessman, his focus remained on his spiritual pursuits. In Gandhi’s autobiographical book “The Story of My Experiments with Truth”, Gandhiji writes "Raichandbhai's commercial transactions covered hundreds of thousands. He was a connoisseur of pearls and diamonds. But these things were not the centre round which his life revolved. That centre was the passion to see God face to face…The man who, immediately on finishing his talk about weighty business transactions, began to write about the hidden things of the spirit could evidently not be a businessman at all, but a real seeker after Truth.I saw him thus absorbed in Godly pursuits in the midst of business, not once or twice, but very often. I never saw him lose his state of equipoise."

Last years: On the eve of departure he said to his brother, Manukhbhai, and others “Don’t worry, this soul is eternal, it is surely going to attain a very high state.”

In popular culture (adding on to Yugpurush the drama) Yugpurush’ was performed 1030 times in in 306 cities across the world. To educate a wide and diverse audience regarding the principles of Shrimadji which moulded Mahatma Gandhi’s character, the play was performed in Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi , Kannada, Bengali, Tamil & English and in India, USA, Canada, UK , Europe, UAE, Oman and Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand etc. In addition to the Transmedia Gujarati Screen and Stage Awards for the Best Drama, Best Director and Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Yugpurush is bestowed with the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award 2017 for ‘Best Drama’! Yugpurush was also the first Indian event staged at the prestigious Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles where the world-famous Oscars Awards Ceremony are held. The play supported the cause of Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital – a new 200-bed multi-specialty charity hospital for the economically underprivileged in South Gujarat.

Please let me know if this is okay to be published or the revisions that need to be made. Relevant citations from books such as mokshmala and My experiments with truth will be added once approved.

Thank You

Long quotes as you suggested are unnecessary and not according to Wikipedia guidelines. So we better avoid them. Regarding play, there is a separate article. - Nizil (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 September newsletter

The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski.

Dear Nizil, I have noticed that, in article H. J. Kania, The first Chief Justice of India, seems to be a flaw in Kania's name. as per article his name is Hiralal but i think his name was Harilal. i had checked it on Gujarati Vishwkosh and few other references. would you please guide me about this?

Ref:

  • H. J. Kania Wiki (everipedia.org) [1]
  • What Happened 71 Years Ago, When the Vision of the Supreme Court Was First Laid Out (thebetterindia.com) [2]
  • Govt Law College [3]
  • Historical Series: Justice Harilal Kania and The Criminal Contempt Case of 1942 – The Leaflet [4]
  • Harilal Jekisundas Kania Biography - Birth date, Achievements, Career, Family, Awards - SamanyaGyan.com [5]

Snehrashmi (talk) 14:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Correct it. His name was Harilal. Leave a note on talkpage. The above mentioned references are not considered reliable so dont cite them. Search Harilal Kania in Google Books and you will find plenty of reliable refs. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 05:25, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
I think the confusion is because of Madhukar Hiralal Kania. He was 23rd Chief Justice of India and nephew of Harilal Kania, but his father's name might be confused with Harilal as Hiralal. I Leave a note on talk page. Thank you very much for your guidance. Snehrashmi (talk) 11:22, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Not much. Most WikiProjects related to India are not active enough. On talkpages of them, sometimes discussions are held about specific issues, guidelines or articles. You can watchlist them if you like to participate in them. I have joined many of them but just for sake of being participant in India related projects.

Hi Nizhil,

I am new to wikipedia edits. I was writing about AVERA Mobility. I need support in publishing the article. As you have already wrote about ATHER, AVERA also into electric mobility. 117.202.39.43 (talk) 08:48, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for Draft:Avera Mobility. The article needs a lot of trimming. Please remove every sentence which is not supported by any reference. There are some references so article can pass but it currently reads like advertisement. Wikipedia should read like an encyclopedia. Write in plain language without any flowery words. Only major awards supported by references should be there. Even if article become very short, it is importance that the information provided should be verifiable by references. Once you have done it, please message me here. I will help copyedit it. Note that if you are associated with company in any capacity, please declare your affiliation on the talkpage of the article, see Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure for more details.

Let it be so. Sacnilk has been contested in past and others do not consider it reliable. We used it only because we have no other sources for BO figures of Gujarati films. It is a lost cause. There is no way to prove it as a reliable source. :( -Nizil (talk) 16:28, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  • Germany FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
  • United States TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  • Byzantine Empire Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included Berkelland LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, New England Trainsandotherthings, England Lee Vilenski, Indonesia Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, Washington (state) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and Chicago PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! 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 yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.
