Please do not revert people's comments in ITN
Hi Ktin,

In the future, please do not revert people's comments, as you did to my comment using Twinkle, here. I recognize that my comment may not have been productive, but the correct way to handle that is to tell me as much, not to revert it unilaterally.

All the best,

-- Rockstone  [Send me a message!]  04:05, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , Hey sorry. Genuine mistake. I was reverting my own comment and it reverted your comment as well. Apologies. Ktin (talk) 04:23, 21 February 2021 (UTC)


 * -- ahh no worries! I wasn't sure if I had said something you felt was unproductive, or if it was just something like that. My apologies if I sounded unnecessarily harsh. -- Rockstone  [Send me a message!]  04:53, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , no, absolutely nothing wrong in your comment nor the message. I had written a comment thinking that the person posting was new, but, realized that they were not new, and hence reverted my comment. Cheers. Have a good rest of your day. Ktin (talk) 05:27, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for all your work! PCN02WPS ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 23:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , Cheers. It was a nice chance for me to see the highlights of both games. I missed seeing live due to the time zone difference. That said, has helped in the past to create a composite image of both winners. I have tagged them in the main ITNC article. They might be able to help again here as well to create a composite of Osaka and Djokovic. Ktin (talk) 23:59, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Opportunity for you!
Hello Ktin! Hope you are well. I saw that you are not an administrator and I was surprised! I have seen your contributions to Wikipedia and I think they are outstanding. I would like to nominate you for Administrator, for your work. I think you'd be great at it. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

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

Wikimedia Foundation/Wikipedia social media channels
Hi Ktin,

It's taken me forever to respond to your original post from late January — my apologies! If you have an article or topic you'd like to see promoted on the Wikipedia/Wikimedia social media channels, we'd love to see them. Feel free to pitch them our way using this form. You can use that same form to nominate a biography (or any current-events article, from any language) for our Article of the Week as well.

Again, sorry for the extremely late reply. As the "social media person" I need to be better about checking my dozens of inboxes! AJohnson (WMF) (talk) 21:41, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , no worries at all. I have been particularly busy IRL / off-wiki this entire month myself and have not been able to check my messages here on Wiki myself, and expect that to continue for the better part of the month. However, the reason I got in touch with you was to showcase some of the work that we do at WP:ITN and WP:ITNRD and if some of that work can be a feeder for some of the social media posts that you send out through the twitter handle for instance. Just speaking about the personalities whom we end up working on WP:ITNRD there are a lot of good biographies that come up there. While we do not want to convert the twitter handle to an "In memoriam", I still think there is a lot of good content that can come your way.
 * Unfortunately, I am heads-down on some off-wiki / IRL activities for the better part of this month, but, I am tagging some of the WP:ITN and WP:ITNRD regulars to see if they might have some thoughts, or maybe we take this conversation to the talk page of the project, if you so prefer. Tagging Apologies for the bulk-ping. Have a nice day. Ktin (talk) 22:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Ktin, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AKtin added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing!  Go  Phightins  !  16:10, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

You recently submitted claims for points that were out of time, about 20 days since they were "earned". The rules state "contestants have 14 days to nominate their work after promotion (for good and featured content), appearance on the main page (for did you knows and in the news articles) or the completion of good or featured article reviews and featured list reviews, by entering it on their submissions page." As a judge I have allowed these submissions on this occasion, you had after all done considerable work to earn them, but please submit your entries more promptly in future.

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.

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).

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.
