Hey! One of my edits got tagged by the edit filter in what looks to be a misunderstanding. I sent a WP:EFFPR report, but it has not been gotten to. Should I be worried about it being swiped by the rolling archive, or will it stay until it's answered? If it would be archived, is it acceptable to ask someone to check the report? --Octostomp (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

They should address the report, but that's kinda beyond anything I know Kingsif (talk) 04:37, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Kingsif, Apologies for not greeting you as my mentor earlier. As I'm a relatively new EC, I'd like some advice on how to proceed with an entry I added to an article on osteopathy on January 29. My additions were reverted a few hours later by an editor called Roxy the dog without an explanation. I'd like to understand why my additions were reverted and have the opportunity to explain why I believe my additions are valid. Can you help me with that? KeenEyed (talk) 10:21, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

I see it's been explained now: unsourced. I'd say get a handle on WP:RS - and if dealing with osteopathy, WP:MEDRS - before editing Kingsif (talk) 22:40, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I don't see any comment that explains why my entries were removed. KeenEyed (talk) 15:22, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

These were my additions: Lede Paragraph: Depending on the country, the practice can be considered a pseudoscientific system or alternative medicine or as complementary or integrative medicine. In the US, osteopathic physicians are fully licensed medical doctors, while in other countries, osteopaths do not necessarily have medical degrees, their practice is more limited ...... As you can see, I provided links to both complementary and integrative medicine. It's not clear to me why a sentence ,which illustrates that the approach to osteopathy varies from country to country, was removed, and indeed, this article includes a whole bunch of countries where osteopathy is practised. Under Egypt and the Middle East, I added Israel: In Israel, osteopathy has been practiced since the 1980s. The practice of osteopathy in Israel is not regulated by law, and there is no government licensing for the profession. Osteopaths in Israel work in private clinics and within complementary medicine frameworks in health insurance funds and hospitals. The Israeli Osteopathic Association (I can provide a link to the website) is a registered non-profit organization that works to advance professional standards and to promote future statutory regulation and academic recognition of the profession. I had removed references to the two prominent schools and their curriculum (together with the syllabus to avoid what could be construed as a promotion). However, the edited section was removed anyway.

I have no received any explanation for the removal of either of these additions, other than, as you write, they were unsourced. I read WP:RS and it's not clear where I have been amiss. I would appreciate more help with this. Thank you. KeenEyed (talk) 15:56, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

So, quite simply, unsourced content (especially to medical and contentious topics) will be removed. Kingsif (talk) 20:09, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, nice to meet you and thanks for your support. What would you suggest to ad on my sandbox initially? --Albopena (talk) 03:12, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

On 17 March 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nicolas Claveau-Laviolette, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that United States interference almost prevented a Canadian skier from competing for Venezuela at the 2026 Winter Olympics? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nicolas Claveau-Laviolette. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Nicolas Claveau-Laviolette), 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.
