Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition.

Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2019 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

• L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
• Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
• MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
• Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
• Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
• Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

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 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!

Hi Alansohn. In case you did not receive my response on my Talk page, I'll just reinsert the message here on your talk page. If you agree that listing a few stores on a mall article would not classify as 'puffery', then why exactly did do you remove the list of stores then? If you agree that simply having a list of a few stores isn't 'puffery', then I'm glad we both have a mutual understanding. I'd imagine you would consult with me if you have any issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeholdman12 (talk • contribs) 5 June 2023 (UTC)

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!

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)

So you should take a look at Category:Articles using duplicate arguments in template calls (30)... Your current JWB run is having the exact same issue mine had... It is adding tons of duplicate parameters because of how terrible old transclusions of the template are. Gotta remove those unused params. If you find a good solution, please share! Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 05:04, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Zackmann08, thanks for the heads up. This seems to happen more often with private schools, which were often populated with a broader range if parameters. JWB doesn't seem to detect the duplicates. Thanks again. Alansohn (talk) 05:06, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

It is my one big complaint about JWB... Have a few hacks in my jwb settings which you are welcome to review, but if you figure out a good solution, PLEASE share! Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 05:09, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

JWB has substantial pros, but there are definitely cons. This is one of them, which preview does not detect. I will try to brainstorm, but I don't have a solution. Alansohn (talk) 05:10, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Try adding a find for ^\s*\|\s*enrollment\s*=\s*$\n and replace with nil. Should solve most of the issues... Yiu may need to add others besides |enrollment= but that seemed to be the main offender... Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 05:33, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Zackmann08, makes sense, but I think the enrollment parameter is the bulk of the problem, especially with schools that used the near-complete list of parameters in the template. Alansohn (talk) 12:35, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Zackmann08, giant thanks for all of the work you did to clean this up, including messes I may have made. Thanks again! Alansohn (talk) 16:32, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Of course! you too. Keep up the good work. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 01:36, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

On 13 February 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Billy Gallagher (businessman), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Billy Gallagher's Times Square cabaret was open from sundown to dawn, with a mix of "reputable people" and those "who had practical reasons for circulating after dark"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Billy Gallagher (businessman). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Billy Gallagher (businessman)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Were you able to access the New Jersey Law Journal source? I couldn't get it even through archive.org, and I don't know if that's because archive.org's being a derp, or because I am. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:14, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

• TenPoundHammer, I had seen it before when I was researching adding him to other articles. It overlapped with the article in The Times, but focused on his work on a particular controversial case. I take your word that it's not on archive.org, but I'll dig through to find it. Thanks for your work on the BEFORE side and for reaching out. Alansohn (talk) 03:23, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

  Yeah, I think archive.org was glitching out earlier, because this verison loads just fine. The last sentence, He is the author of "2010 New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice: A Practical Guide" published by the New Jersey Law Journal does cast doubt on this being an independent source suitable for use in a BLP. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:29, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

  TenPoundHammer, I'll take a look, but remember that this is an area law journal. Alansohn (talk) 03:31, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

  Oh, I have no doubt that it's reliable. I just think the passage I quoted casts doubt on whether the source is truly independent of Del Vecchio, given that they openly admit their conflict of interest in the last sentence. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:10, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

  BTW, if you're wondering why my last few AFDs have been so verbose: given my XFD restrictions and long history of poor nominations, I'm trying to make it as obvious as possible that I've covered all my bases on WP:BEFORE. I appreciate you addressing my concerns and I hope it doesn't come off as confrontational badgering when I bring concerns like this to you or anyone else. I still think this one is a borderline case, so I'll just let it play out. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:38, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

  TenPoundHammer, I meant what I said about WP:BEFORE. I wish every nominator did what you did with this nomination and for that matter that it was required to do so for every nomination. I thought that you raised excellent points at the AfD and I respect your comments here, though I thought that it made more sense to consolidate the discussion at the AfD for the benefit of others who might participate, rather than to continue on my talk page. While it seems that we disagree about the conclusion to be drawn from the information available, you presented your case as thoroughly and as fairly as any nominator could possibly do. Alansohn (talk) 04:43, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Ridgefields is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Ridgefields until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

The first round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As some of you may have noticed, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP. This point increase has been retroactively applied to all good article reviews for which competitors have claimed points in this round. Peer reviews, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 1 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 300 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Bgsu98 (submissions) with 1,467 round points, largely gained from 1 featured article, 5 featured lists, 15 good articles, and 42 FAC and GAN reviews;
• Olliefant (submissions) with 1,246 round points, largely from 4 featured lists, 9 good articles, 2 featured topic articles, 4 did you know articles, and 75 FAC and GAN reviews;
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, largely from 3 featured articles, 6 good articles, and 5 did you know articles;
• MCE89 (submissions) with 848 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 32 FAC and GAN reviews; and
• Rollinginhisgrave (submissions) with 838 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 14 FAC, GAN, and peer reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 7 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 168 good articles, 13 good-topic articles and more than 50 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 14 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 700 reviews. The tournament points table will be updated within the next few days.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Hello, Alansohn. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 19:03, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Alansohn, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Sohom (talk) 12:36, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
