Source reviewHoping to ask a hugely massive ginormous favor from you to do a full source review for the A and B Loop article. I can provide the links, excerpts, my library card (lol) -- whatever you need. I'm combing through the entire article now and hope to have it done by Saturday.

WikiCup 2022 March newsletterAnd so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants. Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Thank you today for Singer Building, "about a building in Lower Manhattan, New York City, that was briefly the world's tallest building and later the tallest to be demolished peacefully. It was first constructed as two low-rise buildings in the late 1890s, which were combined and expanded in the 1900s. The building had an otherwise relatively uneventful existence until 1967, when it was torn down to make way for a larger and less architecturally distinguished structure. The interior was elaborately decorated, as was the facade, and the building in its heyday would have been considered quite innovative. Unfortunately, the Singer Building just didn't have enough space for modern office demands, so it was not preserved."! Nice to know an author as soon as you see the TFA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:46, 10 March 2022 (UTC) On the subject of "Fivefold"I'm doing a rewrite of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.

I wrote the article Lucy Feagin recently and the subject founded the Feagin School of Dramatic Art. A source I used for the Lucy Feagin article says that the school was located in the International Building (Rockefeller Center) on Fifth Ave. The Feagin School of Dramatic Art article says that it is located at 316 West 57th Street while linking to a source that says it was on Fifth Ave at the Rockefeller Center. Unless there are somehow two addresses, I'm not sure where the 316 West 57th St part came from. I wouldn't be able to answer such a question if it came up at DYK.

Your GA nomination of St. James TheatreHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article St. James Theatre you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. Growth Newsletter #20 Welcome to the twentieth newsletter from the Growth team! The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in Wikimedia projects. Suggested editsAs of February, 300,000 suggested edits have been completed since the feature was first deployed in December 2019. Add a link is the team's first structured task, deployed in May 2021. It has improved outcomes for newcomers. The team is now working on a second iteration based on community feedback and data analysis. Improvements will include: improved algorithmic suggestions, guardrails to prevent too many similar links to be added, and clearer encouragement for users to continue making edits. After adding these improvements, we will deploy this task to more Wikipedias. Add an image is the second structured task built by our team. It was deployed in November 2021 to four pilot Wikipedias. This is a more challenging task for newcomers. However, it adds more value to articles (so far, over 1,000 images have been added). We are currently learning from communities and from the data on what is working well and what needs improvements. The project page contains links to interactive prototypes. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this idea as we build and test the early versions. We will soon deploy this task to more Wikipedias as a test. "Add a link" and "Add an image" now both have a limitation on how many of these tasks newcomers can do per day. It is meant to discourage careless newcomers from making too many problematic edits. Positive reinforcementOver the last two years, the Growth team has focused on building suggested edits: easy tasks for newcomers to start with. We have learned with this experience that these tasks help many newcomers to make their first edits. Now, the team is starting a new project : "positive reinforcement". Its goal is to make newcomers proud of their editing and to make them want to come back for more of them. With the positive reinforcement project, we are considering three kinds of features:
This project is just beginning, and we hope for community thoughts on the direction. We know that things can wrong if we offer the wrong incentives to newcomers, so we want to be careful. Please visit the talk page to help guide the project! News for mentors
Some wikis have created userboxes that mentors can display on the user pages. If your wiki has one, please link it to Wikidata! ScalingPreviously, at most Wikipedias, only 80% of newcomers were getting the Growth features. This was done for experimentation, to have a control group. We have changed this setting. Now 100% of new accounts at all Wikipedias get the Growth features (except a few, kept as test wikis). We invite communities to update their onboarding documentation and tutorials. Please include the Growth features in it. To help you, we have created an help page that can be translated and adapted to your wiki. How to helpDo you have questions about the Growth features? This translatable FAQ contains answers to the most common questions about the Growth team work. We regularly update it. Interface translations are important for newcomers. Please help for your language, by translating or copyediting interface translations for the Growth features.
