WikiCup 2023 September newsletter
[edit]The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)
Holiday Greetings
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Peace_dove.svg/400px-Peace_dove.svg.png)
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Always a pleasure to see your work. ―Buster7 ☎

hey there
[edit]Just a heads-up, wanted you to be aware of a post that struck me as somewhat personal... Oh and now I see they're off to the races. Would revert the latest but considering their already aggressively snarky tone have decided to not poke the bear. - Shearonink (talk) 02:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Shearonink, I have blocked them indefinitely. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:13, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
Edwards scandal
[edit]This is a factual situation outlined in numerous books. How can it not be included in his political career? The public also deserves to see his voting record, is that not factual as well? I think this needs to be made public if the blocking continues. ArnoldPalmer44 (talk) 15:20, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- ArnoldPalmer44, that he worked for Edwards is already in the bio. What you're adding, attempting to call it a "scandal", is a WP:POV violation. The only Edwards "scandal" anyone knows is his extramarital affair. Not being named CoS because Elizabeth didn't like him is not a "scandal". – Muboshgu (talk) 15:29, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok then it’s adding context to not being named chief of staff and coming home to run for office. He was mentioned in several sources as this being why he came back to Raleigh. It’s factually correct and adds context. ArnoldPalmer44 (talk) 15:34, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing any sources from an initial search of "Josh Stein" and "Elizabeth Edwards" other than to acknowledge that Stein worked on Edwards' 1998 campaign. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:29, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, just answer this for me. Is this a factual page on Josh Stein or his personal narrative? ArnoldPalmer44 (talk) 19:39, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- When you answer this for me: what is factual about a
John Edwards 1998 US Senate campaign scandal
[1] or thatJosh Stein was exposed
[2]? That's your personal narrative. And what isn't factual about my edit? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:53, 12 August 2024 (UTC)- I’m asking a simple question not related to that issue. ArnoldPalmer44 (talk) 19:56, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's a factual page. Calling anything regarding Edwards' election to the U.S. Senate a "scandal" is not factual. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Third Party Candidates in State infoboxes
[edit]There is a long standing consensus that any candidate who generally polls more than 5% is included in the presidential campaign infoboxes of state articles pertaining to same. This goes back to the 2016 election, with Evan McMillan. I suggest you self revert.XavierGreen (talk) 17:56, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not state-by-state, IIRC. Maybe it did for McMillan after the vote? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:00, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- See here Talk:2024 United States presidential election/Archive 10 as another user pointed out on the Michigan page right above your comment Talk:2024 United States presidential election in Michigan, so you were clearly aware of same. Accordingly, please self revert.XavierGreen (talk) 18:04, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- I see a straw poll with no conclusion. There is no consensus to include RFK on any state page. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:15, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- The vast majority of editors responding were in favor of maintaining the 5% threshold a consensus was clearly formed. You are editing against it.XavierGreen (talk) 20:15, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- That is false. It's clearly 50-50 on that straw poll. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:56, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I really mean it. I'm sorry, and the last thing I wanna do is make you mad at my potentially disruptive way of speaking. Please, I hope you accept my apology. Lostfan333 (talk) 21:13, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Suspicious users 2024 U.S. presidential election
[edit]Hello. I wanted to bring to your attention suspicious activity at this RfC. There is an IP and a new user and their only contributions to Wikipedia is their participation in that RfC. Also, the IP !voted twice, which makes me think it is possible they were trying to sockpuppet, but accidentally used the same IP twice. Not sure if there is sockpuppetery going on, canvassing, or what. And I feel like other users at that RfC may be involved as well. What do you think is going on, if anything?
