WikiCup 2020 March newsletterAnd so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement). Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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. 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!

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:
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.

Kosack (talk) 07:56, 25 June 2020 (UTC) Premier League Records PageHi Redman - I saw that you offer help to Wiki newbies and was wondering if you can provide some help to a relative newbie to Wikipedia. I'll explain the situation. I have been active keeping several Premier League pages up to date over the last 18 months or so. When some relevant records (records that were mentioned on the Premier League news section and many other sources) were removed from the page, I got into a dispute with another editor who has been policing the page and removing them. He had deleted them on the basis of his view of WP:ONUS which is very subjective. The records were Liverpool related and he has been a regular editor of many Manchester United pages. Being new to Wikipedia - I spoke to an admin, and learned that the process of removing content in this fashion was hard to prevent, the person adding the material would have to gain consensus to add it and this process itself is not ideal (there's not a natural congregation of editors that bring their opinion to the discussion, often ending with no discussion at all and thus no consensus to include it). This therefore seems to end with one person's view vs another's. I stopped editing on the page for over a month and recently returned to make some different contributions - I had been thinking about the content on the page and whether certain tables were necessary (there were separate Wiki pages with the same information, so adding a link to those seemed more optimal and made the article more concise) and whether other information would be relevant/interesting for readers (a table showing 10 highest points totals in Premier League). The same editor I had the dispute with last time quickly popped up removing my edits, deleting the table I had included, and reinserting the other tables now claiming some other Wiki Rule (WP:POINTY?), without initiating discussion on why these tables deserve inclusion. I don't want to get drawn into this anymore and his behaviour is putting me off doing anymore on Wiki. I would prefer if others made judgment on my edits, as it seems he is self-policing the page based purely on his own views, and not an established consensus. What can be done to ensure the page is fairly edited, and not governed by a single person pressing a personal opinion over it which is my concern? page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League_records_and_statistics TheRealGutripper (talk) 10:49, 28 June 2020 (UTC) WikiCup 2020 July newsletterThe third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember 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. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

There's no guarantee that the kits will change for the clubs from season to season. Nowadays they almost 100% do but that's not confirmed until kits come out. Plus, these are articles I created and are watching so if the kits change, then I will update in the specific articles.

Do you know of an efficient way to find/add the archive url to references? I feel like there is a tool or something I'm missing out on!--EchetusXe 18:08, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
"Virus alert"I have no comment on the quickfail of Talk:Special Area Games Scheme/GA1, but the message seen here is not a "virus alert" - it is a simple mistake in the URL. The URL should not have the www in it - the security certificate is issued to https://sportsauthorityofindia.nic.in not https://www.sportsauthorityofindia.nic.in. Removing the www produces this link which does not produce the error. If you're using chrome, clicking "advanced" (and I'm sure a similar button in other browsers) will display an explanation - in this case the following:
This sort of message tells you that it's a simple URL issue, and not an actual virus/privacy issue. I figured I'd mention it so you aren't confused when people disagree with you. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 15:29, 7 October 2020 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

Snowycats (talk) 22:33, 17 October 2020 (UTC) WikiCup 2020 November newsletterThe 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York. The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions), HaEr48 (submissions), Harrias (submissions) and Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN 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 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Greek Football CupHi, you helped with some edits before on various Greek Football articles. A minor controversy exists on Greek Football Cup page that led to an edit war. It is about statistics. 1961-62 Greek Football Cup final between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos was abandoned in overtime and the Federation never ordered a replay. There is a user Kyopa who keeps adding both finalists as runners-up, but in my opinion this leads to a statistical error. When a sport competition is abandoned there can be no winner/runner-up. You can see the discussion on the article's Talk page. Thought you can help as you are an experienced editor. Best regards! Abudabanas (talk) 09:52, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
