So businessman should be in lower-case. Happy editing! Schazjmd (talk) 00:55, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello, You removed a work on Ekensholm SlottHej! Hello! You recently removed a large edit to the page on Ekensholm Castle, located in Flens Kommun, Södermandlands Län. I was wondering the reason for the undoing of the whole edit as opposed to further editing the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enkjarljerspark (talk • contribs) 01:32, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 March newsletterRound 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:
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 Wikipedia: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!

Stop thinking I am a vandal just because I am an IP user; but I guess, its a common thing, because bad-faith blanking happens usually with IP vandals. 61.69.229.211 (talk) 11:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotNote: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top.

I've been editing for a month but I keep making mistakes. I only edit outer space related articles. There is a discussion about me at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents - Wikipedia. When you respond, please {{mention}} me.

@Curbon7: Well, now I am very confused. I don't know where you are getting that standard from. I've been editing BLPs for almost 10 years and don't think anyone has made that kind of declarative statement. Some 4 or 5 years ago (I edit in waves and this was 2-3 waves ago haha), it was a topic of discussion and it came down to personal preference and what each article called for. But that was not based on how controversial the material was. Look at Hillary Clinton, a featured BLP which tons of controversy. 2 sources in the lead; one because her name is discussed constantly and the other is a People.com link which could probably be moved. Joe Biden and Donald Trump both have zero sources in their leads. If you need more examples, I'll need some time but I can find you dozens I am sure. I just don't think what you're saying is a rule by any means. And it certainly is not such a strictly followed rule that it calls for reverting an edit which otherwise significantly improves the article. Further, can we take any additional discussion to the article's talk page so any interested editor can take part? PrairieKid (talk) 01:05, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
WikiCup 2021 May newsletterThe second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 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:
Please remember 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 (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). 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 Wikipedia: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.

Bush 1992 presidential campaign" which is currently assessed as 'B' grade article. Since you have created and contributed to articles related to presidential campaigns, could you please help in improving the article by suggesting points in its peer review, as I want to nominate it for GA. I have already requested it to be copy-edited. Thank-you! |
