Welcome to the 2020 WikiCup!
Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today and all article creators, expanders and improvers are welcome to take part. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page.

Rocky De La Fuente
In regard to this edit, I was the editor who moved Rocky De La Fuente (RDLF) to the major candidates section. You stated in your edit summary, "Per prior consensus, reverting Rocky back to a non-major candidate." But in this case, the circumstances that created the prior consensus had changed. Specifically, RDLF previously hadn't been included in 5 independent national polls, and now he has been. So he changed from not meeting one of the criteria to be considered a major candidate, to meeting that criterion. When you wrote, "A user with Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:47, 17 January 2020 (UTC)


 * As I said in a reply on the talk page, it was my error. I incorrectly assumed the user making the 3 edits prior to mine had made the change. That user is a newcomer and has some...interesting edit summaries. Hopefully you understand where my confusion came from and can accept my sincere apology. I certainly would not for a second have questioned you or your neutrality.
 * I want to keep the discussion on RDLF in one place, so I'll ask that you see my reply on that page. I am glad we could have the personal discussion here as well; hopefully, we have cleared the air. Respectfully, PrairieKid (talk) 06:55, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Emma Vigeland


A tag has been placed on Emma Vigeland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Articles for deletion/Emma Vigeland. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Incumbents' ages
Thank you for editing the US senate election articles. I see you just added the incumbents' ages. I suggest, however, that the ages should not be included. Although I've seen it elsewhere, and it's sometimes a tradition, I think, perhaps, we ought not to continue it that way. What do you think? Thank you. —GoldRingChip 18:13, 21 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I understand what you're saying but I think the ages are important. Now, they should not be the only important item of information next to their experience level. I think the perfect article would include the number of terms they've each served, the likely opponents, perhaps some polling/predictions, and some brief prose about the race, as well as their ages. The ages are an important factoid in terms of whether or not the Senator will consider retiring, and also plays a role in voters' decisions. Again, I wish it was not the only tidbit of information but it is important nonetheless. Would you be willing to revert or go to the TP? PrairieKid (talk) 00:40, 22 January 2020 (UTC)


 * If they retire, then their age is moot. If they don't, then it's prejudicial (one way or the other).  I suggest we leave age in only if it becomes a relevant issue, such as when they themselves cite it or when an opponent uses it against them.  —GoldRingChip 00:48, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Koiszków,Poland
On the Polish Wikipedia it says the population of koiszków is 65 not 1,004.Also as me and my German family LIVE in Koiszków so the percentage of Germans will increase. As a result of this German is spoken by 15% making it a big minority. thank you. Szmuklerkacper (talk) 18:33, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 2600:1700:B7A1:9A30:8992:65DB:F533:83BA. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Denny Sanford Premier Center have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 2600:1700:B7A1:9A30:8992:65DB:F533:83BA (talk) 05:38, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
