Третий раунд WikiCup 2019 подошел к концу. 16 пользователям, прошедшим в четвертый раунд, необходимо было набрать не менее 68 очков, что существенно ниже прошлогодних 227 очков. Нашими лучшими бомбардирами в третьем раунде стали:
Cas Liber , наш победитель в 2016 году, набрал 500 баллов, в основном за избранную статью и два GA по темам естественной истории
Адам Куэрден , набравший 480 баллов, подсчитал свои результаты на основе 16 представленных фотографий, которые являются результатом кропотливой реставрационной работы.
SounderBruce , финалист последних двух лет, набравший 306 баллов за различные заявки, в основном связанные со спортом или штатом Вашингтон
Имя пользователяunique , с 305 баллами, полученными из избранной статьи и двух GA по археологии и смежным темамУчастники представили 4 (5) избранных статей, 4 избранных списка, 18 избранных фотографий, 29 хороших статей, 50 записей DYK, 9 записей ITN и 39 хороших обзоров статей. Поскольку мы вступаем в четвертый раунд, помните, что любой контент, продвигаемый после окончания раунда 3, но до начала раунда 4, может быть заявлен в раунде 4. Пожалуйста, также помните, что вы должны заявить о своих баллах в течение 14 дней с момента их «зарабатывания», и крайне важно заявить их в правильном раунде; одна заявка FA была отклонена, поскольку она была неправильно подана (заявлена в раунде 3, когда она квалифицировалась для раунда 2), так что будьте осторожны! При выполнении GAR, пожалуйста, убедитесь, что вы проверили, что все критерии GA полностью выполнены.
Если вы обеспокоены тем, что ваша номинация — будь то номинации на хорошие статьи, избранный процесс или что-то еще — не получит необходимых отзывов, пожалуйста, разместите ее на Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (не забудьте удалить свой список, когда он больше не нужен).

Спасибо, что добавили имена в этот список. Вас помнят! -- Герда Арендт ( обсуждение ) 06:09, 12 августа 2019 (UTC)
Четвертый раунд соревнований завершился в суматохе последних минут, когда для прохождения в финал требовалось набрать 454 очка. Это был очень конкурентный раунд, в котором два участника, набравшие более 400 очков, выбыли, и все, кроме двух финалистов, получили FA в течение раунда. Casliber , наш победитель 2016 года, набрал наибольшее количество очков, за ним следуют Enwebb и Lee Vilenski , оба новички в соревновании. На четвертом месте оказался SounderBruce , финалист прошлого года. Но все эти очки сметены, когда мы начинаем заново в финальном раунде.
В 4-м раунде было получено 11 избранных статей. Кроме того, Адам Куэрден набрал 18 FP, Ли Виленски лидировал по количеству GA с 8 GA, а Козак выполнил 15 обзоров GA. В 4-м раунде было около 40 DYK, 40 GAR и 31 GA в целом. Несмотря на то, что участники выполнили больше GAR, чем GA, все равно было некоторое разочарование из-за длительности времени, необходимого для рассмотрения статей.
Начиная 5-й раунд, мы прощаемся с восемью участниками, которые не смогли пройти; благодарим вас за полезный вклад, который вы внесли в Кубок и Википедию, и надеемся, что вы присоединитесь к нам снова в следующем году. Помните, что любой контент, продвигаемый после окончания 4-го раунда, но до начала 5-го раунда, может быть востребован в 5-м раунде. Помните также, что вы должны заявить о своих баллах в течение 14 дней с момента их «зарабатывания» (некоторые люди нарушили это правило, и баллы были удалены).
Если вы обеспокоены тем, что ваша номинация, будь то хорошая статья, избранный процесс или что-то еще, не получит необходимых отзывов, пожалуйста, разместите ее на Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (не забудьте удалить свой список, когда он больше не нужен).

Привет!
Фонд Викимедиа стремится улучшить процесс консультаций с общественностью по вопросам политики Фонда, и нам интересно, почему вы не приняли участия в недавней консультации, которая последовала за общественным обсуждением, в котором вы принимали участие.
Пожалуйста, заполните этот короткий опрос, чтобы помочь нам улучшить наш процесс консультаций с сообществом в будущем. Это займет всего около трех минут.
Политика конфиденциальности для этого опроса здесь. Этот опрос — разовый запрос от нас, связанный с этой уникальной темой.
Спасибо за ваше участие, Kbrown (WMF) 10:44, 13 ноября 2019 (UTC)
С Новым годом, с Новым десятилетием и с Новым WikiCup! Конкурс начинается сегодня, и все создатели статей, расширители и улучшители могут принять участие. Если вы уже зарегистрировались, ваша страница заявок находится здесь . Если вы еще не зарегистрировались, вы можете добавить свое имя здесь , и судьи настроят вашу страницу заявок. Мы смягчаем правило, согласно которому будет учитываться только контент, над которым вы выполнили значительную работу в течение 2020 года; теперь, чтобы иметь право на баллы в конкурсе, вы должны выполнить значительную работу над контентом в какое-то время! Любые вопросы по правилам или по чему-либо еще, связанному с кубком, следует направлять одному из судей или размещать на странице обсуждения WikiCup . Регистрация закроется в конце января, а первый раунд завершится 26 февраля; 64 человека, набравшие на тот момент наибольшее количество очков, перейдут во второй раунд. Удачи! Судьи WikiCup: Sturmvogel 66 ( обсуждение · вклад · электронная почта ), Godot13 ( обсуждение · вклад · электронная почта ), Vanamonde93 ( обсуждение · вклад · электронная почта ) и Cwmhiraeth ( обсуждение ) 11:43, 1 января 2020 (UTC)
И так заканчивается первый тур конкурса. Все, кто набрали положительный балл, переходят во 2-й тур, в котором участвуют 57 участников. В этом году мы отменили группы, поэтому для прохождения в 3-й тур вам нужно будет закончить 2-й тур среди тридцати двух лучших участников.
Лучшими бомбардирами в первом раунде стали:
Epicgenius , новичок WikiCup, лидировал, представив избранную статью, пять хороших статей и ряд других материалов, посвященных зданиям и местам в Нью-Йорке, и набрав в общей сложности 895 баллов..svg/1280px-Royal_standard_of_England_(1406%E2%80%931603).svg.png){kind=small}
Следующим оказался Гог Мягкий , набравший 464 очка за избранную статью, две хорошие статьи и ряд обзоров, основной темой которых стали морские сражения. Рэйми оказался на третьем месте с 419 очками, полученными за одну хорошую статью и впечатляющие 34 упоминания в репортажах на радио и телевидении в Соединенных Штатах.
Следующим на 414-м месте оказался Харриас , специалист по сражениям английской гражданской войны, с избранной и тремя хорошими статьями.
CaptainEek оказался на пятом месте с 405 очками, большую часть которых он набрал за то, что придал Cactus wren статус избранной статьи. Л293Д ,
Кингсиф , Энвебб , Ли Виленски и
КАПИТАН МЕДУЗА . Семь из десяти лучших участников 1-го раунда — новички в WikiCup.Этим участникам, как и всем остальным, теперь придется начинать набирать очки заново с нуля. В первом раунде было четыре избранных статьи, один избранный список и две избранные фотографии, а также около двухсот DYK и двадцать семь ITN. В общей сложности участники написали 127 хороших обзоров статей, почти на сто больше, чем 43 хороших статьи, на которые они претендовали, тем самым существенно сократив отставание в обзорах. Участники также претендовали на 40 избранных статей / обзоров избранного списка, и большинство даже не забыли упомянуть свое участие в WikiCup в своих обзорах (требование).
Помните, что любой контент, продвигаемый после окончания Раунда 1, но до начала Раунда 2, может быть заявлен в Раунде 2. Некоторые участники подали заявки до того, как были созданы новые страницы подачи заявок, и им нужно будет повторно подать их. Приглашения к совместным усилиям по написанию или любому другому обсуждению потенциально интересных работ всегда приветствуются на странице обсуждения WikiCup. Помните, если двое или более участников WikiCup проделали значительную работу над статьей, все могут претендовать на баллы. Если вы обеспокоены тем, что ваша номинация — будь то хорошие кандидаты на статьи, избранный процесс или где-либо еще — не получит необходимых отзывов, пожалуйста, разместите ее на Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews .

В мартовском информационном бюллетене WikiCup 2020 обнаружена ошибка; L293D не должны были быть включены в список десяти лучших бомбардиров в первом раунде (они возглавляли список в прошлом году), вместо этого, Dunkleosteus77 должен был быть включен, набрав 334 балла за пять хороших статей о животных, живых или вымерших, и различные обзоры. Доставка сообщения MediaWiki ( обсуждение ) 09:30, 2 марта 2020 (UTC)
Второй раунд WikiCup 2020 уже завершен. Это был раунд с высоким рейтингом, и участникам нужно было набрать 75 очков, чтобы перейти в раунд 3. Во втором раунде были продемонстрированы весьма впечатляющие результаты: все десять лучших участников набрали более 500 очков. Значительная часть очков была получена за 12 избранных статей и 186 хороших статей, написанных участниками в общей сложности, а также за 355 хороших обзоров статей, которые они сделали; отчасти эти впечатляющие цифры могли быть обусловлены работой GAN и необходимостью оставаться дома во время пандемии COVID-19.
Лучшими бомбардирами во втором туре стали:
Epicgenius , с 2333 баллами за одну избранную статью, сорок пять хороших статей, четырнадцать DYK и множество бонусных баллов Gog the Mild , набравший 1784 балла за три избранные статьи, восемь хороших статей, значительное количество избранных статей и хороших обзоров статей, а также множество бонусных баллов
The Rambling Man , 1262 балла за две избранные статьи, восемь хороших статей и сто хороших рецензий на статьи Харриас , набравший 1141 балл за две избранные статьи, три избранных списка, десять хороших статей, девять DYK и значительное количество избранных статей и хороших обзоров статей Ли Виленски с 869 очками,
Свиноферма с 801, Кингсиф с 719, СаундерБрюс с 710, Dunkleosteus77 с 608 и
МХ с 515.Правила для избранных обзоров статей были скорректированы; обзоры могут охватывать три аспекта статьи: контент, изображения и источники, и участники могут получать баллы за каждый из этих трех типов обзоров. Пожалуйста, также помните о требовании упоминать WikiCup при проведении FAR, за который вы собираетесь получить баллы. Помните также, что DYK нельзя получить, пока они не появятся на главной странице. Поскольку мы вступаем в третий раунд, любой контент, продвигаемый после окончания раунда 2, но до начала раунда 3, может быть получен сейчас, а все, что вы забыли получить в раунде 2, нельзя! Помните также, что вы должны получить свои баллы в течение 14 дней с момента их «зарабатывания». При выполнении GAR, пожалуйста, убедитесь, что вы проверили, что все критерии GA полностью выполнены.
Если вы обеспокоены тем, что ваша номинация — будь то номинации на хорошие статьи, избранный процесс или что-то еще — не получит необходимых отзывов, пожалуйста, разместите ее на Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (не забудьте удалить свой список, когда он больше не нужен).

Третий раунд WikiCup 2020 подошел к концу. 16 пользователей, прошедших в четвертый раунд, набрали не менее 353 очков (по сравнению с 68 в 2019 году). Это был очень конкурентный раунд, и ряд участников, которые прошли бы дальше в предыдущие годы, выбыли. Нашими лучшими бомбардирами в третьем раунде стали:
Epicgenius , с одной избранной статьей, 28 хорошими статьями и 17 DYK, набрав 1836 баллов Rambling Man , набравший 1672 балла за четыре избранные статьи и семнадцать хороших статей, а также обзоры большого количества FAC и GA Гог Мягкий , участник, принявший участие впервые, набрал 1540 очков, причем его результат в основном был основан на 4 избранных статьях и соответствующих бонусных очках.В общей сложности участники конкурса подготовили 14 избранных статей, 9 избранных списков, 3 избранных изображения, 152 хороших статьи, 136 записей DYK, 55 записей ITN, 65 обзоров кандидатов на избранные статьи и 221 хороший обзор статьи. Кроме того, MPJ-DK добавил 3 элемента в избранные темы и 44 в хорошие темы. В ходе конкурса участники завершили 710 хороших обзоров статей по сравнению с 387 хорошими статьями, отправленными на рассмотрение и продвинутыми. Эти большие цифры, вероятно, связаны с накопившимся объемом GAN в апреле и мае, а также с изменившимися моделями редактирования во время пандемии COVID-19. Поскольку мы вступаем в четвертый раунд, помните, что любой контент, продвинутый после окончания раунда 3, но до начала раунда 4, может быть заявлен в раунде 4. Пожалуйста, также помните, что вы должны заявить свои баллы в течение 14 дней с момента их «зарабатывания». При выполнении GAR, пожалуйста, убедитесь, что вы полностью проверили, что все критерии GA полностью соблюдены. Пожалуйста, также помните, что все заявки должны соответствовать основным политикам Википедии, независимо от процесса рецензирования.
Если вы обеспокоены тем, что ваша номинация — будь то номинации на хорошие статьи, избранный процесс или где-либо еще — не получит необходимых отзывов, пожалуйста, разместите ее на Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (не забудьте удалить свой список, когда он больше не нужен).

Четвертый раунд соревнований завершен, для прохождения в финальный раунд необходимо набрать 865 очков, что почти вдвое больше, чем в прошлом году. Это был очень конкурентный раунд, в котором два участника с 598 и 605 очками выбыли, и все, кроме двух участников, которые вышли в финальный раунд, набрали FA во время раунда. Наибольшее количество очков получили
Bloom6132 , набравший 1478 баллов в основном из 5 избранных списков, 12 DYK и 63 в новостных статьях;HaEr48 с 1318 баллами, полученными в основном за 2 избранные статьи, 5 хороших статей и 8 DYK; Ли Виленски, набравший 1201 балл, в основном получил его за счет 2 избранных статей и 10 хороших статей.В общей сложности участники получили 14 избранных статей, 14 избранных списков, 2 избранных изображения, 87 хороших статей, 90 записей DYK, 75 записей ITN, 95 обзоров кандидатов на избранные статьи и 81 хороший обзор статьи.

Round 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:
Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items. The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs..svg/1280px-Standard_of_Oliver_Cromwell_(1653%E2%80%931659).svg.png){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews. Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles. Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.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.

The 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:
The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs. Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points. Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths. Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews. Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews. Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations. Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.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).

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. .jpg/1280px-Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_(Berlin).jpg){kind=small}
Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, 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 14 days of "earning" them.

Hello, I'm Beardbrarian. I'm part of a small team of Iowa State University library staff, along with HematISU, that are working on Wikipedia, following the guidelines laid out in Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Cultural_Professionals. The edit HematISU made yesterday, was to future-proof an existing citation to one of our finding aids by changing it from a direct link to an Archival Resource Key or ARK. Over the years, our library has hosted finding aids at various URLs, some older links from Wikipedia point to www.add.lib.iastate.edu and are now broken because that URL has changed. The prior Kniskern Mather link pointed to findingaids.lib.iastate.edu, which is no longer the current home of our finding aids. While the link currently works, the platform it links to will be retired eventually. The link HematISU added points to the current platform for finding aids, cardinal.lib.iastate.edu, which will almost certainly be replaced by something else in the future, if past practices hold. When that happens we will update the ARK to point to the new location and the ARK, but the link in Wikipedia will not need to be changed.
The purpose of updating Wikipedia links to ISU library resources to ARKs is to reduce dead links in Wikipedia and to reduce the burden on Wikipedia editors to update external links as URLs change. We are only making such changes for links to resources managed by the ISU library. This is very similar to the use of DOIs throughout Wikipedia to link to resources.
May we restore HematISU's edit?

You would be right; I thought I was reverting the vandalism. I was using Huggle, and I believe what may have happened was that there was a delay between ClueBot reverting the vandalism and me still seeing the vandalised revision so choosing to revert it, also!

Hi there,
I just uploaded the album cover for This Wild Willing by Glen Hansard (incredible album, strongly recommended listening, but I digress). I couldn't figure out how to reduce the file size before I initially uploaded, so I did so with a resolution of 700px2; I managed to reduce the resolution to 300px2 after uploading, but I would like for an administrator to please delete the previous version because it is now orphaned NFC. (If anyone has any suggestions of how I could reduce the resolution of a file before uploading it, I would welcome that, too.) Thank you, Dylan620 (he/him) (talk) 17:48, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

And 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:
Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs. Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews..svg/1280px-Flag_of_Provo,_Utah_(1989%E2%80%932015).svg.png){kind=small}
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways. Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.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.

The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year.

You requested an RD1. I declined it as the listed sites appear to be public domain. Do you think I'm missing something? S Philbrick(Talk) 00:49, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
You requested an RD1 for United States Army Sniper School
One of the sites you listed: https://www.benning.army.mil/Armor/316thCav/Sniper/Description.html Is a public domain website, so that should not be reverted or subject to an RD1.
The other site you listed: https://snipercentral.com/u-s-army-sniper-school-ft-benning/
Would be eligible for reversion and RD one but I'd want you to make absolutely sure that the material found that site was not also found at the public domain site. S Philbrick(Talk) 00:54, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The 2022 champion is
Lee Vilenski (1752 points), who won in 2020 and was runner up in both 2019 and last year. In the final round he achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on cue sports.

Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. 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 the overall leader in this field.
Lee Vilenski wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round. Kavyansh.Singh wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
Adam Cuerden wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition. Z1720 wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.
We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 03:57, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello @Dylan620 and sorry to bother you, but the blocked user El Cubano 153 left several more fictional drafts that are probably unwanted. Should a discussion be started for deletion?

Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. George Ho (talk) 02:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello there! I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes.
There is a large and important discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers!
If you wish to participate, please visit: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Possible F5/EF5/IF5 tornadoes. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 16:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I have been looking at the Pacific hurricane season timelines that you've been making and promoting to FL. It had inspired me to start a draft on the timeline of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season in an attempt to make my first FL. The problem is that there has never been a Pacific typhoon season timeline that has been promoted to FL, so I had to base the timeline off other timelines of different basins. I have finished the timeline of events (besides a few missing landfalls) and just need to add images to it.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on what the draft should be like, while also considering the amount of systems and events during the season. I would also greatly appreciate you editing the draft, but I'll leave that up to you. —JCMLuis 💬 17:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
