WikiCup 2022 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:


 * Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
 * 🇨🇽 AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
 * Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
 * GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
 * 🇺🇳 Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
 * Flag of Provo, Utah (1989–2015).svg SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
 * 🇺🇳 Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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 WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

 * Transgender Pride flag.svg Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4.

Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

Deletion of a Draft.
Hi Ahmetlii, I saw you are my new advisor. I have been trying to delete a failed draft for a while now, but still not sure of how to do it. Some users recomended me Miscellaneous for Deletion, but unsure of how to proceed. Do you have any piece of advice regarding that? Kind regards, SDC3021 (talk) 01:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @SDC3021 Hello, as you are not the only substantial contributor to the page and it's a valid draft, it'll probably get rejected even if it's a MfD. But still, after 6 months of inactivity on editing of the draft, it will automatically get speedy deleted. Meanwhile if you'd like to rewrite it over again, just do that in your sandbox or another subpage and then copy-paste to existing draft and resubmit.Btw, if there's a conflict of interest in any way (which your username and editing area highly suggested that possibility), you must declare it openly. ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 14:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Question from TTauryn (16:15, 9 November 2022)
Hello! (sorry about the length of this question) I made my account this morning whilst researching colonial expeditions in french Polynesia. One historical figure was a Spanish sailor by the name of Mendaña who was the first European to reach this part of the world discovering Marquesas in 1595. Wanting to know more about this figure, I skimmed through his wikipedia article and took notice of a person named Merino Manrique who was apparently played a big part in Mendañas 1595-1596 expedition according to whoever wrote this part of the article. Finding his story intriguing, I tried looking up this Manrique person and found absolutely nothing. I added a “citation needed” thingy before making my account. I am however still wondering if completely removing this part is warranted as I can’t seem to find any source (at all) backing this section up.

Your input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! Max (Tauryn) --TTauryn (talk) 16:15, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
