Help with an edit warring issue
Hi there. I found you on the recently active admins page, and I'm wondering if you might be able to give me a second opinion on an edit warring issue over at 2023 World Junior Figure Skating Championships. Another user known by their IP address is livescoring in violation of WP:LIVESCORES. I've tried to let them know multiple times that this isn't permitted, but they keep updating the page with livescores anyway. Would you mind taking a look and seeing if this is truly the issue I feel it is? Thanks! Clemkr (talk) 19:03, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey ! As a fellow sports editor, I can share in your frustration with live scores. However, I do not see an attempt to talk to them outside of leaving comments in your edit summary. I recommend leaving them a message on their talk page and/or starting a discussion on the talk page. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I just wanted to be sure I wasn't overreacting. I've left them a polite talk page message. Clemkr (talk) 19:28, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * , let me know how it goes and if I need to step in! I never understood why people edited Wikipedia just to contribute stats and then leave. I wish these people stayed even after events/playoffs and continued to contribute. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi again. Just wanted to give you an update. The user didn't respond to my talk page message and another admin ended up getting involved, accusing me of edit warring myself, and saying that live scoring is not actually a problem. Not sure what to think. It's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, but more clarity on the policy would help. Clemkr (talk) 15:12, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:NHL Conference Finals
We are having an issue with Dicklyon refusing to drop the stick in a conversation. Myself and other have repeatedly asked him to stop doing this but he won't stop. Perhaps you if you could please talk to him and make it clear to him that he needs to stop. Deadman137 (talk) 01:18, 2 March 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.
 * Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
 * 🇩🇪 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.
 * 🇺🇸 TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
 * 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 LunaEatsTuna,  Thebiguglyalien,  Sammi Brie,  Trainsandotherthings,  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, 🇮🇩 Juxlos,  Unexpectedlydian,  SounderBruce, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Kosack,  BennyOnTheLoose and  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 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 WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.
