GA review of Nuclear power
Hello, just checking if you are still planning to review Nuclear power. It has been over a week since you started the review page, but haven't heard anything since then. If you are not planning to review the article soon, please notify this at WT:GAN so that another user can review it. Thank you! --Ita140188 (talk) 09:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Response to the withdrawal of the edition of the article "Wikipedia: Link rot"
Dear Mr. JackFromReedsburg,

Thanks for your welcome to Wikipedia.

I am writing in connection with reject my edition of article 'Wikipedia:Link rot'.

I wonder what better archive sites are there than Internet Archive, which:
 * you can search by typing the url of the page you want to browse free, also at home,
 * accept multiple archiving requests of any web pages for free,
 * ensure the long availability of their resources:
 * theoretically, because that's their mission,
 * practically because:
 * they are not a commercial entity, but have (fairly) reliable (and different) sources of funding,
 * if they are a commercial entity, they plan to donate the files to someone who will keep them for a long time.

If you know such archives, I would be grateful if you could write them all for me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

--Failure9x (talk) 14:39, 17 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, while I do agree that the Internet Archive is a very good archive, it is not the only one. A list is available here: List of web archives on Wikipedia. Now for your edit, the bullet point right above that lists the major web archiving sites, so I find it redundant to list them again. --JackFromReedsburg (talk &#124; contribs) 14:54, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Corona (beer)
It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Corona (beer). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Thank you. — Smjg (talk) 21:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

May 2021
Your recent editing history at May 10 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Toddst1 (talk) 15:55, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * my bad, i was working in the pending changes backlog and wasn't fully aware of your WikiProject's standards (regarding section subheadings). I won't revert again, and apologize for making the mistake. Have a good day and happy editing. JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 20:02, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm Tina, a COI editor working for the Sussex-based company Quad.

I would really appreciate it if you could go over to the Talk:Quad page and look over and implement my edit request to the best of your ability.

Ideas for Wisconsin Wikipedia Pages
Hello JackFromWisconsin,

I also happen to hail from the Badger State, and was curious as to what areas related to Wisconsin you enjoyed writing about or researching in particular. I personally would like to write an article about Cycling in Wisconsin as there are articles about biking in other U.S. states and countries, but I don't believe one yet exists for Wisconsin. It's always great to bounce ideas off of others.

Best, Wiscipidier (talk) 19:34, 20 October 2021 (UTC)Wiscipdier


 * Hello ! I have lately been working on general articles on Wisconsin (Geography of Wisconsin and Wisconsin dairy industry), and am now focused on Agriculture in Wisconsin. I do think Cycling in Wisconsin would be a good article to write on the state. Much of it would probably be focused on biking in major cities, and the various bike trails in the state. I really enjoy meeting other Wisconsin editors and being able to collaborate on this big project. --JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 20:12, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for  maintenance so  that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

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!
