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.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Regarding Flugel Peter Source for Content on Niruben Amin Page
Hi Nizil,

We saw your revert regarding the content on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niruben_Amin page, which has been given the reference of the Flugel Peter book. We would like to bring to your notice that the same book has no reference for the marriage of this spiritual master. If you glance at the book, you will not find any authentic reference for the same. It has been just written there without any authentic reference. Okay, we agree that the book is an academic reference but the book itself has no authentic reference for the same. Further, only one academic reference does not suffice, right? There should be other such authentic resources that confirm about her being married. Don't you think so? Can you look for other references online, which can confirm this fact? This will help us to be rational and fair. We humbly seek to resolve this matter with mutual consensus.
 * Hello, please do not forget to sign your comments by using -~ . Flugel is the best academic source available for Akram Vignan topics. It contains original research so there is no reference in regarding marriage and all. If you can find any more academic sources, please point me to it. If you have an academic source which mentions the opposite thing (no marriage), I will be happy to include it as well. We do not always need multiple references to establish the same thing. More is better but single is good enough. Hope it clarifies. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 06:15, 19 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Dear Nizil, we had requested you to look for more sources supporting the marriage information, not for including in the page but for you to find out how true it is. We cannot depend solely on just one external or international academic resource in terms of someone's personal facts. As a genuine academic source, it cannot state anything about a saint’s or master’s life; it has to be verified, which is not in the Flugel’s PDF book. Luckily, we had approached Flugel regarding this matter a few months ago and the author accepted that he had no idea about it and said that he will delete the matter. However, since the lockdown, the author is unreachable. So, we are stuck here. Further, we have no academic sources regarding the same.Dipalig (talk) 09:50, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Who is "we" here? There can not be any account on behalf of others. Everybody work in their own capacity. An statement in article needs a reliable source. The Flugel reference clearly states abouy marriage so it is included. I can not find any retraction of the statements released by Peter Flugel. If he had not varified facts as you state, he should publish retraction of statements. Until then we can only rely on the source. Nizil (talk) 10:07, 22 July 2020 (UTC)


 * First of all, I am sorry for writing 'we'. It was written as I am learning from someone how to write on Wiki. Talking about your reply, I could draw a conclusion that the academic resources have the topmost weightage. So, I would like to learn or know a few things more, from your experience, as I am still a learner:


 * 1) Is it so that the type of source is more important than its content?


 * 2) Why should we believe that an academic source always gives the best and the right content? Is there a proof for this? A proof of its research methodology is a set of proper references, isn't it? If they are missing for facts, then also should we believe them to be correct?


 * 3) Don't you feel that proper MLA, APA, and Chicago style references should be given for facts in academic articles or books to prove that the content written is well researched?


 * Thanking you in advance... Dipalig (talk) 14:51, 27 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Wikipedians follow WP:RS guidelines. Thats it. If you have a problem with that perticular reference, you may ask community to establish its reliability at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 11:07, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

He [Manilal] expressed the dark despair at its failure, which is paradoxically dissolved in the consolation of philosophy, in his famous gazal 'Kain lākho nirāshāmā amar āshā chhupāi chhe' (At the heart of a million failures is hidden an undying hope).

First of all, I am really thankful to you for creating a page of our caste, i.e., Kansara on Wikipedia. So let me focus towards the point that in the Wikipedia page named Kansara, I added more content which consisted Introduction, History, etc. from Kalika Purana. Also I added some pictures too. But you deleted this all. Now, I will again add the content with proper citations. So, I kindly request you to please do not undo the contents which I will add in future.

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.

Bhutan India relations
I generally agree with your expressed view, but there is some confusion as to what exactly the Govt of India has requested from WMF.

i had earlier renamed it but you changed its name back .So i want to have a formal and polite discussion. Hindus believe that place to be krishna janambhumi(birthplace like ram janmbhoomi) evan hindi wiki title page is कृष्ण जन्म भूमि. Even U.P government also calls it as( JANMBHOOMI https://mathura.nic.in/tourist-place/shri-krishna-janambhumi/) You would not be knowing hindu culture but hindus believe it so that is true.Also you deleated eidgah mosque page just because u want to hide truth and are biased.Whwn even congress historians are saying aurangzeb destryed the mosque.\ You are deleating it If you are a true deserving wiki admin donnt block me and wwrite the truth. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/astrology/religious-places/unknown-facts-about-krishna-janmabhoomi/articleshow/68206163.cms

, thank you for engaging in discussion. First, I am not Wikipedia administrator and I have not deleted Eidgah article either. So you should contact the concerned person for it. Ragarding title, Janmasthan and Janmabhumi are the same thing. Both mean 'place of birth'. So there is no point in changing the name. "Janmasthan" is kept because the official website of the temple call itself "Janmasthan" temple. Anyway both are same thing so it is irrelevant. If you have any compelling argument for changing name, engage in the discussion on talkpage where others will participate. I think the name change is unnecessary.

Krishna Janmabhoomi also redirect to the same article. Nizil (talk) 11:53, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Regarding "still exist" which you keep adding, it is already clear that it still exist so there is no need to write it. It is already mentioned in the next sentences that the new temple complex was built adjacent to "mosque". So it is self-evident that it is still there. Nizil (talk) 12:01, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi.. (personal question)
Where do you stay? I stay at around tardeo Mumbai...
 * Well, it is not a good place to reveal my personal information. Most Wikipedians do not reveal much about their personal lives. Though I can tell you that I am interested in Gujarat and Gujarati culture. I am familiar with and interested in Jainism topics as well. Feel free to collaborate with me or ask for help/advice. Wikipedia have plenty of places where help are available. Do read guidelines and policies or at least give them some cursory glance so you can learn. I will be happy to help.

Rajputisation
Hi Nizil, on a number of Rajput clan pages (Jethwa, Jadeja possibly others) there is a user who is adding a pre-written paragraph about Rajputisation regardless of whether it applies to the specific clan or not using the same sources in each (again regardless of whether it is related or not). Is there anyway to contest this?TSAray (talk) 21:36, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , Sorry for late reply. Please give me link of article or revision where it happened. So I can investigate. -Nizil (talk) 06:52, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , Apologies for late reply, had been off wiki. This seems to have been removed although the Jadeja article remains contentious as ever.TSAray (talk) 13:49, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see this article on the Jethwa dynasty where this issue still exists. TSAray (talk) 00:32, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
