About the Shellcode Links Removal
Wiki:

Removed links:

Hello Zupotachyon. I would like to know what was your assumption to remove the links above. Shellcodes or payloads are crucially small piece of software clever designed to achieve some proposal. Search how many times the word 'small' appears in the mentioned wiki (12 matches). The removed links are just the smallest and stable samples ever made to date in its own kind. So I assume that they aren't inappropriate in the wiki topic. They aren't viruses, they don't infect anything, they don't do any harm. They are just innocuous, small and well designed software - good examples of the main point of what is a shellcode (small piece of functional code).

What do you think about me editing the main wiki showing some part of the the referenced code and put them in References instead of in the External Links?

What do you propose?

 * Hi there, sorry for the late response, I wasn't around for several days. You say they are the smallest shellcodes to date, but short of citing some authoratitive source on shellcodes I would find it to be a hard claim to independently verify. I don't doubt that you are telling the truth, but you'd need to cite someone who is a current expert on shellcodes, is up-to-date on the latest shellcode developments, and publishes said claim about your shellcodes in a reliable source. Even if they are the smallest shellcodes currently, I'm not quite sure how important they are in helping readers understand the page. Linking to your github seems to be unnecessary as well; you could put the shellcodes into the page itself as an inline example (for example, see ) with a detailed explanation of how each component contributes to the desired function. However, I think this approach would probably run afoul of the no original research policy (but to be fair that probably applies to most programming pages on Wikipedia). Since this is a content dispute/discussion I would say to ask a question at Shellcode's talk page to see what other editors think but I doubt you'd get any replies there; you could try asking at the WP:TEAHOUSE, which is actively watched, and get feedback from other editors there.

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk).

hello
I did that edit because there were no citations such as, when it was made, the publisher, etc.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DOYOUYOUKNOWDAWAY?? (talk • contribs) 21:47, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia. The page Clara Barton has citations on it if you look at the references section, those are all the references used in the article (with corresponding footnotes). I'm not sure what you're referring to in this case -- do you mean a specific book or claim that isn't cited? Let me know if I missed something. Zupotachyon (talk) 00:43, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

I have something for you...
BARNSTAR! I would just slap it on your user page but I dont want to put it somewhere that would mess it up... but you do not NEED to welcome people, but you still do

A kitten for you!
Thank you for the warm welcome! I also appreciate your explanation on how to get an article deleted! <3

Hi Zetana, and thanks for your peer review comments. I'll rush back from my Wikibreak to address them, but perhaps not today, as the car finally succumbed to old age yesterday and I need to find its replacement. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 07:56, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

William B. Jordan
Hello. Thank you for your offer to leave comments and archiving the peer review, and I am sorry that I didn't get around sooner. I was going through a rough patch but the worst seems to be over now, and I think I may return back to editing. I would love to get your input on the article whenever you would have some extra time on your hands. Thank you. — The Most Comfortable Chair 10:33, 8 November 2021 (UTC)


 * @The Most Comfortable Chair: Sure, no problem! If you haven't already considered this, though, I strongly recommend trying out a FAC mentorship first. An editor who's experienced with writing and passing Featured Articles will help you ensure the article's fairly complete and meets FA standards, and prep it for nomination. (Last I heard, first-time nominations with a mentorship were 3x more likely to pass than one without.) If contacting a potential mentor individually is unclear for you, then just drop a note at WT:FAC and someone will get back to you. But, if that's not something you're interested in, I can go over the article via another PR. Zetana (talk) 04:40, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * This is the first time I am hearing about this and it sounds great! Thank you, I will contact someone that can help me out with this topic. — The Most Comfortable Chair 07:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
