Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Moving from a closed template.

@Gog the Mild: could I get a leave to renominate the article? I don't see the hiatus as necessary, as the FAC was attracting supports; it just didn't attract many participants. NegativeMP1 was about to provide his spotcheck and was positive of the prose. Skyshiftertalk 22:40, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

I am afraid not. The instructions state "A coordinator may exempt from this restriction an archived nomination that attracted no (or minimal) feedback." So the nom having attracted a lot of attention works against me being able to waive the restriction. I know how rough it can feel to have a nomination timed out, but this one wasn't moving towards a clearly stated consensus to support in the sort of timescale it needed to. Can I suggest pinging all the reviewers and asking them to continue working with you on the article while you wait to renominate. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Jailson Mendes you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Sammi Brie -- Sammi Brie (talk) 01:03, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I just want to say that I apologize for not getting to the spotcheck for Virtual Self (EP) earlier. I was literally planning on trying to get around to it today had it not been archived, as I actually felt like reviewing today. If you try to take the article to FAC once more in the future, let me know and I'll try to make up for it. λ NegativeMP1 04:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

The Lavender Heart

The Lavender Heart is awarded to Wikipedians who endure anti-LGBTQ+ harassment in the course of their efforts improving the encyclopedia. While we may all do our best to laugh it off and not feed the trolls, it's important to recognize that words can cut deep, and to make sure that no one feels they're alone when they deal with bigotry and harassment. 💜 — Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

What was done to you on ptwiki was a fucking travesty - you have my deep condolences and any support you ask for (including helping translate trans-related ptwiki articles). You do a lot of good work and rest assured it's seen and appreciated. Please feel free to add Minha Criança Trans to Transgender history in Brazil, specifically a note on it's creation, Mutirão do Amor, and Nikolas Ferreira's actions. All the best, Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist. I really appreciate it. Skyshiftertalk 23:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Skyshifter. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Russian Roulette".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:26, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
