Recent edits to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in West Virginia
I just need to know where you are finding the stats of Severe cases/12 (ICU - no ventilator), 24 (ICU - ventilator)[1], Recovered/83[1]? They are not immediately apparent to me on the cited reference, I just need to know where to find them. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 00:48, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, they're available on one of the later pages of the embedded powerpoint type-thing on the page cited. There's no way to link to the exact page embedded, I don't think? Hope that helps. Best, Keilana (talk) 00:53, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, yeah I get that there isn't a way to link directly to the "sub-URL" so that's some help but the cited reference is HUGE. If you could tell me the page # of the Powerpoint thingy that would be better I think. I can't easily find it and I am somewhat familiar with the WV website. If a reader goes to that ref/website and tries to find the numbers/stats...very hard. Shearonink (talk) 01:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's on page 6 of 7, the table on the right hand side. Unfortunately I don't think there's an easier way to link to that right now. Best, Keilana (talk) 01:04, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Geez, you'd think Microsoft would make it so that the information on the Pages could be directly cited. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 01:17, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you'd think so. Especially with half the states using PowerBI to share their data. And you'd also think they'd make it accessible in archives. Thanks for all you're doing, Keilana (talk) 01:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Could you please fix the infobox pandemic
The website doesn't appear anymore. I (and somebody else) left an edit request on the Template, but nobody seems to read that. KittenKlub (talk) 11:27, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

 * The other person who noticed the problem made a posting on the Administrator's Noticeboard and that did work. KittenKlub (talk) 18:50, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello dear friend. I'm going to do an action on a Persian Wikipedia.

2020 coronavirus pandemic in Alabama
I wonder what we'd see if we correlated the percentage of non-white people in the various counties with the number of cases per 100,000. I thought the counties with higher non-white populations were harder hit (like Jefferson and Mobile) but I see two outliers already: Shelby County (white as snow) and Lee County (that's next to me)--maybe Auburn U. is partly responsible for that high number. Thanks for updating, and take care, Drmies (talk) 19:59, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hrm, I was wondering the same myself - racial disparities in cases are glaring in Milwaukee and Chicago, where there's rampant systematic racism in healthcare, worse than the average in the US. Which is already pretty bad. I would be very curious to see a comparison of cases/100,000 next to % of non-white residents by county but that might be too much OR even for me. Stay well, Keilana (talk) 20:20, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Maps
Hi Emily, you had asked about making maps? The default Mediawiki mapping options aren't great -- perhaps you have noticed almost all geographical articles are illustrated with a uniformly sized red dot in a monochrome map without internal boundaries, geographical features, or labels. I recently did File:IWG plc locations.png which has source code on its Commons page, and this interactive version (source code). If you ping me with a pastebin .csv with any combination of geographical names and/or latitude/longitude and any magnitude or category names, I'd be happy to set up a repl.it into which you can paste similar CSVs to make useful maps out of them. Also I am supposed to make sure you see and. EllenCT (talk) 23:50, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh my god, these are amazing - I will definitely ping you when I put together some data for maps. Thank you so much! I also very much appreciate the csv tools and will be using them....extensively. Thanks again! Keilana (talk) 00:11, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Happy to help! If you want to check on which geographical names I can use without depending on the largesse of corporations, here is the OSM geocoder. It's not a show-stopping issue if you need to use names that it doesn't recognize, but it will help you disambiguate their spellings and formats. Looking forward to your .csv samples -- don't hesitate to start with a small one so I can get started, please. EllenCT (talk) 00:49, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * P.S. Rebecca Chernoff has the best US county covid maps I've seen so far. EllenCT (talk) 10:54, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, this is excellent news. I'm going to sit down with a nice cuppa after work (or possibly on my lunch break) and see about setting up a pastebin .csv situation for ya! Thanks so much, Keilana (talk) 15:42, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, pastebin ahoy! Let me know if this works for you. If it does, then I'll get as many as I can done today as I update articles. You rock! Thank you again, Keilana (talk) 12:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure that TSV format will work fine, but I need a day or two because I just got a ton of near deadline work. If you want to mix counties with cities, states, and/or countries, that's okay as long as they are named in separate columns, leaving the column(s) for the unused geographical name type(s) blank on each row. EllenCT (talk) 16:21, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds great! Thank you so much. Good luck with all your near-deadline work, yikes! Best, Keilana (talk) 16:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * So sorry, very busy, need to catch up with all the great things that happened to MediaWiki maps right after I dissed them on your talk page. Soon! EllenCT (talk) 03:10, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Illinois Recoveries from Coronavirus
I applaud your efforts to update the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Illinois article with the numbers from the local county health departments. However this information is not deemed official until announced from IDPH. Until such data is announced from the State we should not update the statistics with the county health department numbers as they fluctuate greatly until vetted and confirmed by the State. — Mr Xaero   ☎️ 12:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I have to disagree - we've been using numbers from county health departments in the California articles with success and there's no reason for us not to do it in Illinois. I also don't see a policy reason for us to not use county health departments as sources. Of course, if you have a policy reason that I just don't know about, please let me know so we can be on the same page. :) County health departments are reliable sources in this case, especially when the state health department isn't tabulating a particular statistic. There was a point where the California state department of health wasn't tabulating any numbers by county and I don't believe the reliability of our articles suffered. I appreciate your protectiveness of the article and dedication to keeping the IL article up to date. (Incidentally, this brings up the issue of standardization of data, possibly this is worth bringing up at WT:COVID?) Stay well, Keilana (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I've reverted to the county health dept figures, as under our policies they're clearly official and reliable. An interpretation like yours, Xaero, ought to be confirmed via wider consensus if needed. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 14:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. I think this warrants a discussion over at WT:COVID to establish how we are going to do this going forward, especially since I'm seeing this issue start to pop up in other states. Nevada, for example, offers no data at the state level besides total cases and total deaths, whereas county level health departments are each publishing their numbers. As evidenced by my edits I generally support using county health departments' data, but we need a wider consensus on the issue. Keilana (talk) 14:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)


 * and - I have no issue reporting the recovery data and I wish that we could for each article.  However, Illinois is greatly lacking in this aspect. There is no policy as to obtaining the data that I can find within Wikipedia that informs what we can and can not add but we are bound by adding citable references in the articles.  Illinois has 102 counties that range in population from a few thousand inhabitants to millions and these smaller counties are unable to publish any data on the amount of cases, deaths, or recoveries.


 * You mentioned in one of your edits that a county is using Facebook for informing the public with press releases. We all know that Facebook should not be used as a credible reference unless it is a vetted official page. The only area in which we can gather these numbers is from the Illinois Department of Public Health.  They require that all of the public health departments enter the data via the Illinois National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (I-NEDSS) data system.  From there the State disseminates the data and then provides a press release and statistics.


 * Granted this data is technically stale and not real-time as they crunch the data prior to 10:00am daily (there is a press release video describing how they do it which I don't have readily available currently). Now there is an issue with the State as they have only listed the recovery data from the initial two patients that contracted this disease and have not released any solid numbers other than percentages in the daily streaming video. If we can determine, list, properly update and cite the recovered data for each county then I have no issues but this needs to occur for all counties. If need be we could include notes that the data was not available. —  Mr Xaero   ☎️ 15:12, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * To your point about Facebook - I'm aware that Facebook is typically unreliable garbage, but these are official, vetted pages that are run by the public health officials of the county. Given this, I have no problem referencing these official statistics. Obviously I don't want to be citing some random's Facebook page covered in antivax memes or whatever! I also think you're right - that a note stating that certain counties do not publish recovery figures would suffice, similar to the one on the California table. Best, Keilana (talk) 15:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "County health departments" numbers IMO are fine. What exact source are we discussing? Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 05:47, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think any exact source is in question; the main source issue is that several local health departments are using social media (Facebook and, to a lesser degree, Twitter) to update their daily numbers. I'm inclined to take them as reliable since they are verified and run by the health department in question. Thanks for your input, Keilana (talk) 12:21, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hum. Yah officials are moving from publishing stuff on their own websites to publishing via twitter and facebook as it is imply easier for them. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 12:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yup. I don't think their data is any less reliable because of that, though. Keilana (talk) 12:37, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

WV COVID-19 template
Where did you get the data/stats for past dates with this edit? Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 20:52, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 * They have each day's cumulative case numbers on the epi curve page of the PowerBI embed. Keilana (talk) 15:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, so Page 2 of 7 - "Resident Positive Cases", sub-title/sub-page "Cumulative Number of Laboratory Confirmed Cases". I don't understand why some of this info from the states is so difficult to find and/or see...thanks for getting back to me on that. Oh, I was looking through the stats and I'm going to update/correct some of the daily numbers for those dates, some of them seem to maybe be off, like April 27th is 1080 total cases. Shearonink (talk) 20:53, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Another question...where is the daily tally of deaths on a particular date? Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 21:02, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, some of those daily numbers end up being corrected later for some reason. I've been trying to go through and correct them as I find them - so thank you for doing this! The daily tally of deaths is usually found under press releases, I think? The one from the evening each day typically gives a total fatality count for that day. I wish states reported this stuff consistently and in an easy-to-find way. Keilana (talk) 17:10, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, my wish is that the states would make all the individual stats available to cite individually, like being able to cite as a standalone/unchanging URL the stats for a particular date/place/time - it would be AWESOME to be able to save all this information via the Wayback Machine. I personally despise the Microsoft embedded table thingy that so many states are using, there is no way to cite it! It could all disappear tomorrow! It can be CHANGED and there will be no record of past information... The daily press briefings/updates that are separated into separate URLs (like Tennessee & WV are doing) are at least saveable via Wayback. Shearonink (talk) 17:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this is why Wikipedia is important - despite us needing these sources, a lot of them will disappear in the near-ish future, to the point where we might have some of the only publicly available records. Keilana (talk) 01:11, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter
The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
 * Royal Standard of England (1406-1603).svg Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
 * Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Blason Gondor.svg Hog Farm with 801, 🇻🇪 Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, 🇺🇸 Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and 🇲🇽 MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim 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 WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Bay Area data
Hey Keilana,

Thanks for all the update edits. I came across this edit by you where, among others, you remove the link with the Commons tables that contain up to date data. Was there a specific reason for this? It looks like Mxn is keeping those tables up to date (automated), and the templates pull that data into the table. The raw numbers need daily updating unfortunately. Mxn already reverted that part of the edit, I was just wondering if you were aware and whether we're overlooking something. It's kind of annoying that we're using so many different systems to maintain the data... effeietsanders 05:54, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Aw shit, I didn't mean to do that. I've been using an external spreadsheet to update numbers, so I definitely wanged that up. I can self-revert or you can feel free to revert me. My bad, Keilana (talk) 18:27, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
 * Royal Standard of England (1406-1603).svg Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, 🇩🇰 MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 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. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

"Permissive hypertension" redirect
You created the redirect, which currently (after a robotic double-redirect fix) points to Stroke.

I am not sure I understand why this target would be appropriate, since:
 * The Stroke article does not mention the word "permissive"
 * Hypertension would seem more likely to cause a hemorrhagic stroke rather than ischemic

I would appreciate any clarification. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Some web searching suggests that permissive hypertension is a treatment method used for ischemic stroke, but the article does not adequately explain this yet. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 23:36, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, permissive hypertension is used as treatment for ischemic stroke, by encouraging perfusion to the penumbra. I'll try to clarify this in the article. Thanks! Keilana (talk) 17:24, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were


 * Free Hong Kong flag.svg Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
 * 🇮🇩HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Editor changing what the RS says
Hi. I've run into a Jerusalem problem here, and you seem to be the Jerusalem expert. If this editor is doing this throughout the project, how best to proceed? I've already left word on the article talk page. But by the nature of the change, I fear he is doing it throughout the project, contravening the RSs. --2603:7000:2143:8500:A8E5:7FFC:158F:768E (talk) 08:23, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit(s) on "Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States medical cases by state"
Hello,. I noticed you did an update to Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States medical cases by state and I wanted to thank you for doing so. It seems as if I may be the only who takes the time to do so anymore, which I don't mind all that much.

However, I wanted to ask that, in the future, when making these updates, you be sure to update the total number of cases and deaths. I know from experience that this is quite tedious, but it is even more tedious when someone (me) notices and has to add every state's cases and deaths together to get the totals. It's definitely no big deal, I just wanted to make you aware of this.

Another thing that is advisable is that you update the access date on the references when you update the numbers, this way another editor can see when that individual state was last updated. Again, something quite tedious, but can save time in the future.

I hope you have a nice rest of your day, Miss. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 18:26, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:


 * Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
 * Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
 * 🇷🇼 Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
 * Flag of the United Nations.svg Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
 * Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
 * Bennington Flag.svg Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
 * 🇺🇸 Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.

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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Chromosome disorder articles
Hey, Keilana! Just following up on your WT:MED comment recently, I've done a lot of work on the tetrasomy X article and have it up for GAN, hoping to expand to FA. I've been wondering, if you're willing to volunteer it, if I could engender your help with image releases? I know of some tetra/penta X support groups that may have members willing to offer photos for the relevant articles, but wading in myself into "Do you want photographs identifying someone as having a medical condition on Wikipedia?" is...a sensitivity I'm not confident in my ability to present well. <b style="color:#000">Vaticidal</b><b style="color:#66023C">prophet</b> 02:18, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

I have nominated History of timekeeping devices for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status.

WikiCup 2021 May newsletter
The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:


 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
 * Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
 * Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
 * Bennington Flag.svg Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
 * Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
 * Transgender Pride flag.svg Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
 * Flag of the United Nations.svg Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember 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 (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski,  BennyOnTheLoose, 🇷🇼 Amakuru and  Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

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!

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) 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) 🇨🇽 AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
 * 3) Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
 * 4) Transgender Pride flag.svg Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
 * 5) Vexilloid of the Roman Empire.svg Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
 * 6) Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
 * 7) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 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 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!

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.

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. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For the remaining competitors, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and importantly, before the deadline on October 31st!

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!
