Why do delete the authentic edits with citations on tarek fateh page can't you please keep this Wikipedia unbaise?
Please be neutral MilkyMike9788 (talk) 10:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , I understand what you mean, but the reason I'm reverting your edits is the text that goes along with it – it sounds like peddling scams was all he did, especially considering that this is at the beginning of the article. There is a note on the talk section which is concerned with adding these sources (from a few months ago but still relevant); see here. The way it's phrased (at the beginning of the article, no less) makes it seems like Wikipedia in general does not like Tarek Fatah, which would make it biased. Hope this makes sense.

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). 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.

Top 25 Report
You volunteered to write, here's the upcoming list to finish! (sorry if I filled up most of it... maybe you can change any you feel like can be expanded?) igordebraga ≠ 07:10, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Perfect. I'll get to this as soon as possible. Thatone weird wikier &#124; Say hi 07:38, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello there, my name is Rebestalic
 * I would like to thank you for your massive efforts on this week's Top 25 page. Writing up a quality commentary which is also approachable and with personal flair is not easy (for me at least); but it's there for everyone to see that you put hesitation in the waste basket and squackled through (Yes, 'squackled'; that's derived from a dialogue line in Roald Dahl's The BFG). People like you, Sailawen (or is it TuorEldar?) and of course, mighty, make the weekly Top 25 possible--I'm just a sporadically-working couch potato 😂
 * Thanks again,
 * Rebestalic [dubious—discuss]  11:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It was very fun to write the commentary! I plan on doing this some more in the future. Thatone weird wikier &#124; Say hi 12:09, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Here's the next one, you can even write the whole thing. igordebraga ≠ 16:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , I probably won't write it all, but I'll make a contribution when the table's made (I'm not a wizard of wikitables). Thatone weird wikier &#124; Say hi 17:17, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Made the table for ya, then. igordebraga ≠ 22:56, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

If you wanna try this week... igordebraga ≠ 01:49, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for my absence to the 25 last week. I've added some commentary for now, but I will add more. Thatone weird wikier &#124; Say hi 08:32, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, nice work! You seem to have a strange and ethereal superpower that informs you of imminent situations of wherein I have a significant deficiency of free time
 * Thank you for helping out  Rebestalic  [leave a message....]  11:10, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed. Thatone weird wikier &#124; Say hi 11:23, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * and, whoops, I wrote the whole thing. Let me know if there are any changes needed. Thatone weird wikier &#124; Say hi 11:44, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That's fine!  Rebestalic  [leave a message....]  20:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

The Gore House in Freeport, Maine
Serious question: how is adding this fact "not constructive"? True, I don't know what I'm doing, but I know what's true. https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-mcdonalds-maine-colonial-home-2017-7#the-building-was-converted-into-freeports-only-mcdonalds-in-1984-2
 * , wow, I've only just realised how silly I am! I'll be honest, when I first read that, I thought "that doesn't make any sense!" but I understand now. for that. I'll revert my edit. Apologies! Thatone weird wikier &#124; Say hi 14:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
