WikiCup 2019 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

• L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
• Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
• MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
• Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
• Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
• Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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.

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!

Article neutrality

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ten_simple_rules_for_editing_Wikipedia

As described in wiki rules please maintain neutrality when writing and editing articles at all times. 2A00:23C8:AB80:8001:85CA:64C7:5D2:E5F1 (talk) 09:52, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

I do so at the best of my abilities. My understanding of neutrality is not that we should silence of erase the published opinions of experts but rather that we should state all of these opinions (should they be in conflict or not) in a clear manner, that is identifying clearly in the article that these are so and so's opinion, and that the experts are recognized as so with published material.Iry-Hor (talk) 09:55, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

By the way, this raises an interesting question on the wider meaning of "neutral", perhaps we should discuss this with other editors who could then vote on the issue. Is giving various opinions by experts neutral ? Aren't these opinions themselves facts, i.e. not in what they state but in the observation that it is a fact that this expert said this or that thing on the matter ?Iry-Hor (talk) 10:01, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm filing a EWN report

I recommend you stop editing. See wp:BRI Cheers Adakiko (talk) 10:06, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Adakiko Ok I stop. What about the page though ? Will it be reverted to its original form ?Iry-Hor (talk) 10:10, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Leave as is until blocks in place. Hopefully, you won't be blocked too. The admin, Spencer, said to use EWN.

See wp:EWN#User:2a00:23c8:ab80:8001:85ca:64c7:5d2:e5f1 reported by User:Adakiko (Result: ) Adakiko (talk) 10:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

The article was wp:PP for a week. Content reverted to pre-edit warring state. The anon and new editor are to be warned. Any idea what was meant on the EWN by the admin? "It's pretty bad..." I'm always afraid to ask. Cheers Adakiko (talk)

That was quick BTW! Adakiko (talk) 10:58, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

That was quite an upset editor. Another sock: Nnk440. Recently, there seem to be a fair number of history revisionists and such. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 21:44, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

To the editor that is now harassing Iry-Hor and my other colleagues

Normally, I'd place this on your talk page, but as you are creating new accounts each time you are blocked, I suspect it more probable that you will see this here, than there. Your claims that Wikipedia disallows opinions is factually untrue. Per WP:WIKIVOICE editor's are to state facts as facts in our [that is Wiki] voice and to present opinions as opinions. The opinion of Ryholt on matters of the Second Intermediate Period is second-to-none. It is a high-quality reliable source and represents an expert view on the subject matter. You had ample opportunity to cease disruptively editing the article and to instead engage constructively on the article's talk page. You are the only person responsible for your action and the consequences of those there-in. There is a distinct irony in referring to others as cry-babies whilst throwing a days long tantrum because your changes to an article were rejected. Mr rnddude (talk) 07:20, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
