Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Infobox image on Italian Wikipedia

Hello! I have a question to you who also an editor on Italian Wikipedia: Does it have different rules of MOS:LEADIMAGE than English Wikipedia? I just looked through articles of former Serie A football players on itwiki and saw some sorts of problems with infobox image. For example, Daniele Adani article somehow depicts him as a young adult whereas he is 50 years old. The exact same case can be seen here. Unless the person is deceased, I do not think readers certainly would expect to see articles of living people depicted as their past self. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A.

@Clariniie Hello! Sorry for the late reply...
As far as I'm aware, there's no real difference between en.wiki and it.wiki on this matter. I just guess that nobody has been able to take a more recent picture of them, yet. I did notice, though, that the images you referred to can only be used on the Italian Wikipedia, at least for now: they only comply with our national copyright law, but they're not considered of public domain in the rest of the world, so they're basically locked out of the Commons database. Still, nothing stops football fans to take on a mission to add some new photos of their own! : )
Anyway, thank you for reporting this! Oltrepier (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Morrissey: Less is more

Hi, I couldn't understand what this was about until I removed some of the extraneous material. Feel free to correct any of my continuing confusion or just. revert it all and stoart over. Smallbones(smalltalk) 03:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Smallbones Hello! Don't worry, I think the article actually looks a lot better now. I suppose my language barrier and my rambling writing were mainly at fault for the confusion...
Thank you very much! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 11:53, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. 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 ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

1,000 Destubbing Challenge

Hi Oltrepier - I hope your doing well. If you get a moment, would it be okay if you could contribute an article or two (or few) towards Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/The 1000 Destubbing Challenge? We're so close to reaching the goal - I've been doing a lot of it by myself but it's really long overdue that I ask for help xD - no worries if you can't! RossEvans19 (talk) 02:34, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RossEvans19 Hello! Yes, I will most definitely submit new contributions if I have enough time and purpose to do so.
By the way, I need to thank you for helping us out and putting in a monstrous effort! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 08:34, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! And yeah, it's been tough but we're so close to getting it done! RossEvans19 (talk) 12:34, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
