2025 WikiCup

[edit]

Would you have any interest in co-creating some GAs and possibly FLs for the upcoming wikicup? I ask as we're both signed up. You listed yourself under season 13 as a contributor on the goals page so if you were interested maybe we could start there? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 08:32, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would be happy to- there have been many articles and lists I have been putting off bcs I didn't wanna edit alone, so it would help that too. Perhaps we could start with the revived series first- I want to watch the story before I edit about it- and I have only watched Pyramid of Mars yet in season 13. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 12:29, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay so its here... first off two questions Whats top of the agenda? Do you have any immediate projects? A few things I'm actively working on include The Twin Dilemma, For Tonight We Might Die, and The Return of Doctor Mysterio. Additionally outside of Doctor Who another project I need some assistance on is Legends of Tomorrow season 3 I'm assuming that you haven't seen the series (because nobody has(hence the cancellation)) which would be to the articles benefit to have a less involved set of eyes. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 08:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Trying to find time for Doctor Who series 13 (it's at GAN already, but might be good to cover everything by adding more info) and List of Doctor Who episodes (2005-present). I have seen S3 of LoT, but it's been a long time. I'll glad to help with it. Could you help with the episode list- you said on it's talk page you were thinking of expanding/changing the lead. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 08:43, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I can probably have the episode list lead done within the next few days Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 08:51, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I'll try to check out LoT S3 and see what can be improved. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 08:52, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm mainly concerned the production section is lacking, I think maybe some more content can be pulled from the interviews Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 08:53, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, production, and maybe release. I'll try to look for sources- I think there is a lot that can be added. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 08:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've done something relatively basic for now. What do you think? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 10:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. A little expansion would be good, but it's a great start. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Regarding LoT3, a lot of times the perception on season articles can be changed based on the way that it's presented. I think it's safe to say that in 90% of season articles, casting is actually a subsection of the production section. This is the case in several GA's of mine ([1], [2], [3]) and my one FA. Doctor Who articles are an exception because the casting section also takes the place of a separate cast listing that's present in all of the other season articles (LoT3 included). That said, one of my suggestions would be to make casting a subsection of production and it would instantly appear to have more in-depth production info. TheDoctorWho (talk) 17:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Another user has reverted the changes to the lead. See Talk:List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present)#Recent changes Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:36, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I expected WP:CANVASSING of this kind. Happy to provide newer editors with the support that they need. -- Alex_21 TALK 06:43, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't canvassing? This is notifying editors relevent to a discussion to a discussion. The changes to the lead were discussed here therfore the editors here should be aware of a discussion regaurding these changes. Have you actually read WP:CANVASSING? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:46, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have. Was this a Project decision, or a personal decision? -- Alex_21 TALK 06:49, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We are improving the list to nom it for FL, which is a concern for the project. Of course, it's a personal decision as well, bcs a human editor is doing it, not a amalgam of every editor combined into one or something. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Under WP:APPNOTE examples of appropriate notifcations include: "Editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics)" Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad that you've learned that within the past two years here. Thank you for sharing this. -- Alex_21 TALK 06:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So you claim something, are proven wrong, and instead of admitting your wrong provide a passive aggressive reply while simultaniously claiming you're not being combative? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:02, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And you haven't learned being polite in your 10 years here? Thank you for sharing that. Also, semi-polite question, didn't you remove yourself off the active participants list after your tantrum about CultBox, or did you come back? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One does not need to be part of a Project to participate in discussions and articles. Saying who can and cannot edit specific articles? Hm. -- Alex_21 TALK 10:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After your tantrum that a non-reliable source was being deprecated, I just assumed that you would argue less about consensus being challenged, especially ones that stayed due to sheer inertia and inactivity in the project. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 10:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will always challenge terrible grammar and mass removals labelled as "irrelevant". Nonetheless, all the best to this new Project of new editors. I'm sure you'll overturn much in your contributions. -- Alex_21 TALK 10:35, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You can and should, but can AGF and be polite about it. Thank you, the Project will hopefully remove the bad parts and leave only the good. . DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 10:47, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully the newer editors learn how to edit correctly and collaboratively with everyone, just not their own band. -- Alex_21 TALK 10:53, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We are human, we make mistakes, especially when transclusions are made without any preceding comments; but we do fix each other's incorrect edits, or fix our own when we notice them, or are made aware of them "politely". You say "collaboratively", when you are the one being passive-aggressive to everyone, acting like you own the Project. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:03, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We do make mistakes. So when experienced editors attempt to direct you to those mistakes, perhaps take it as the advice it's suggested as, rather than "hopefully we can remove all the bad parts" that other editors have contributed over the decades before you. -- Alex_21 TALK 22:44, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The experienced editors can be polite about it. Grateful for everything that other editors have contributed throughout, but if something needs changing, we can't keep holding to past versions of the page. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(de-indent) @DoctorWhoFan91: Circling back to the start now that Legends season 3 is a GA and we have to wait for more reviews on the episode list. Should we direct attention to anything else? I've been struggling with the reception for The Twin Dillema Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll look into it. Do you have the "DW:The Compelete History" volume for that story? Bcs if not, they are really informative, and easily findable. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 21:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do indeed have access to it Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:54, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good, I'll also look into it. Plus try to find other books, as many sources listed on other pages have reviews for mnay episodes sometimes.
Also, regarding your Beebo FAC, I'm sure there are sources, I would help you look for them when I get the time. I want to see it being an FA too. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 21:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How are you doing backlog wise? You don't have any sitting GANs, how many are you close to noming? During a wikicup having around 3ish noms is a solid number in my experience. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:09, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can't find the time or interest to write a GAN at the moment, honestly. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The Christmas Invasion

[edit]

On 25 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Christmas Invasion, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that "The Christmas Invasion" led to Christmas specials becoming a staple for Doctor Who? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Christmas Invasion. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Christmas Invasion), 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 suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Re:Don't Be

Hi, DoctorWhoFan! Thank you very much; glad to hear you enjoyed the article! I will request a CE to the Guild as soon as possible. Unfortunately I'm not a native English speaker, so, if you see awkwardly worded sentences, feel free to edit as you wish. Yeah, it's entirely created by me with no other versions. I'll mention importing from my sandbox when creating Rei III then. TeenAngels1234 (talk) 22:54, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great job on creating it- I see that you are also improving the other episode articles as well. As a fan of NGE, thank you! DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WIkiProject Doctor Who: December 2024 Newsletter

Joy to the Doctor Who WikiProjects

Hello and welcome to the third issue of the new newsletter! A look ahead to the happenings of the WikiProject as we welcome a new year

Continued Improvement of Content

Since the last Newsletter, the articles "Eve of the Daleks", Terror of the Zygons, "The Name of the Doctor", "Silence in the Library", Doctor Who series 2, Mel Bush, Peter Capaldi, "Midnight", "Forest of the Dead", "The Church on Ruby Road", Doctor Who specials (2023), and Doctor Who series 14 have all been promoted to Good Article status. The Good Topic Doctor Who specials (2023) and the Featured Topic Peter Capaldi have also been promoted.
With the amount of articles promoted in the year, we have had our second most productive year of all time, falling just short of beating the record set by 2012. Work is continuing underway on articles Project-wide, and the Good Topic for the revived era nears completion.
Ongoing discussion and goals can be found at WP:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals and nominees for promoted content here. Feel free to contribute in writing or in reviewing!

Reliable Sources

A discussion on the reliability of CultBox has determined that it should be phased out of use in the WikiProject. This source has been widely used across project articles, especially for information about filming. Concerns that the website is self-published and has poor editorial standards were raised. In some articles, project editors have already begun depreciating the source.
Similar concerns were raised about Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv.co.uk). Uses of this source have also been depreciated. This website should NOT be confused with Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv), a commercial website published by the Beeb, which is acceptable for use as a primary source.
As discussed in the previous issue, Doctor Who News has been widely phased out where possible. If you have any comments about these sources or any others, please contribute to the discussions on the project talk page.

Novels Being Overhauled

The scrutiny on many of the Doctor's past adventures through print over the years continues in regard to determining their individual notability. Discussions can be found on the WikiProject's talk page, with discussion still well under way in ironing out which articles pass the notability bar.
You can contribute by helping to improve articles of the novels, and other extended media, and bringing attention to the ones that might not.

Project Barnstar

In breaking news, it appears that Torchwood Three has been raided. The resurrection gauntlet has been stolen and used on the WikiProject Doctor Who Barnstar. If you notice exceptional contributions in project areas by any editor, feel free to show them some appreciation by awarding them their very own ✨barnstar✨.
Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network
  • The War Between the Land and the Sea concluded filming on 10 December.
  • A 90-minute colourised version of The War Games aired on 23 December.
  • "Joy to the World" aired on 25 December.
  • An animated version of the completely missing First Doctor serial, The Savages, is due to be released in March 2025.
  • The editorial board of the newsletter is able to exclusively confirm that there will be no Dalek shenanigans for the third consecutive New Year. Polish off those resolutions, don't start a revolution, and celebrate New Year's Eve responsibly.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

[edit]

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.

Co-ordinating question

[edit]

@IntentionallyDense, tagging you here as the other GA drive coordinator. I noticed you're using a slightly different style to award points than I have used in the past - I don't have a strong preference for either one, I just want to make sure we're consistent. I tend to award the extra points for reviews of old noms at the same time as I give the basic 1 point per review - for instance, see the check I just did for Grnrchst's review (it got 2 points). You guys are doing 1 point per review as standard and listing 1+1+2 or equivalent to track older reviews, and then awarding the bonus points only in the running points total sum. Which style should we use overall? I prefer mine, but can adopt yours if you think it's an improvement. —Ganesha811 (talk) 17:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with either- I was using mine bcs it seemed easier to me, and IntentionallyDense switched to mine. If he thinks yours would be better, I would switch too. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 19:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ganesha811 I also intially used your method as it is easier to calculate it in my head that way and in my opinion, easier to track where points are coming from. What method was used in past years (I'm too lazy to check rn). IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 19:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The last couple drives I have helped coordinate we have done it "my" way. To me it does make it easier to calculate points - the alternative method seems to "hide" some of the bonus points, to me. @DoctorWhoFan91, if it's not a big deal, could you switch? Thanks to both of you! —Ganesha811 (talk) 20:00, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'll switch. I'll change the already done ones too, if either of you don't get to them first (on mobile, so I would prefer not to do so myself at the moment). DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:05, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to do them - thanks again! —Ganesha811 (talk) 20:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you are an admin, right, could you look at the situation below this topic- I don't think the editor understands the policy well, and I'm not sure what to say. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, I left the "could you tell which other articles you might have copy pasted on his talk page, Ganesha811. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:09, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mir Abdullah Talpur article

[edit]

Could you tell me what was "inappropriate" in that article?

Shah Jafer (talk) 19:26, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You copied and pasted from a source which is under copyright- which is not allowed. That's why one is deleted, and the other is tagged to be deleted. May I ask if you have done the same in your other articles too?DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 19:32, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have referenced everything, your not doing justice to me nor my article, you havent check the source. This is very disappointing. All that hard work gone down the drain, sigh. Shah Jafer (talk) 20:05, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it's fine. I scrolled though the article, I'm sure it's fine. It was mostly just for formality purposes, the criteria say a spot-check is needed, and there is a gan backlog drive going on, so that's why I asked the reviewer. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Q about Backlog drive

[edit]

Hello; quick question, please. I signed up for the GA Backlog drive and have reviewed a couple of articles. Do I have to do anything to get my progress to appear on the Backlog drive page? Or probably if I wait, it will appear? Thank you. Prhartcom (talk) 19:48, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

you are supposed to add the GANs you have reviewed to the page yourself, along with the word count of the article to the nearest multiple of 500. It's mentioned on the page. You can read the "detailed instructions" under the "participants and reviews tracker" to see how you are supposed to do it. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Prhartcom since you are already here, you are supposed to do a spot-check (check any random 5-10% of the references to verify that the ref verifies the info it's supposed to verify) of the references for the GAN reviews. I see you haven't done it/mentioned it in your two reviews.DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who LoE FLC

[edit]

This may help with your title case issue mentioned on the FLC. I just used it on my FLC.

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 9 February 2025 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 19:42, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

[edit]

Hi DoctorWhoFan91, 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:

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) 05:07, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

[edit]

Hello, DoctorWhoFan91,

I think your comments about me on ANI were very harsh. I'm sorry if I didn't read through all of the diffs you shared in your report but I'm very busy on this project reviewing AFD discussions, CSD taggings and PROD'd articles. When I have a few minutes, I browse through reports on ANI and AN and try to offer what I hope are helpful comments to try and resolve a dispute. If they weren't helpful, then I apologize but I don't think you should have expectations that everyone who comes across your complaint will review the entire history of interactions you have had with another editor. We are all just volunteers here, not paid ANI monitors.

I don't know why you lashed out at me for not doing what you assumed I would do but in the future, I'll just ignore your posts on ANI and other noticeboards and let other editors and admins comment on them. I think it's unlikely but maybe one of them will put in the time to analyze them sufficiently to your standards. Liz Read! Talk! 20:36, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for it partially, bcs I was unnecessarily harsh. If it's okay, I would prefer not to explain why only partially, bcs that's a whole different saga. Okay, I'm fine with you not picking up my posts- I don't really post at ani that much anyway. Not that unlikely that someone would, my standards are not actually that high. If my reply is unintentionally way too harsh, than I apologise, I am not sure how to keep a very low but still harsh tone. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What Happens Next (webcomic) - Revision

[edit]

Hi DoctorWhoFan91,

Thanks for the feedback on my article, sorry you weren't a fan. I believe there's a strong argument to be made for why What Happens Next is important enough to have an entry on Wikipedia. However, I agree some work needs to be done to better present its case.

Over the weekend, I'm going to broaden the range of sources in the Reception section and flesh out the sections on the work's impact in the comics scene. Is there anything in particular you would suggest to make the article stronger?

Best wishes, Max

You should click the contest the deletion button on the page- only admins have deletion powers, I just tagged the page, an admin will decide it should be deleted or not.
Basically it fails WP: Notability- there should atleast be too sources not connected to the topic which have significant coverage of the topic and are reliable(that is, their info should be trustable). Of the refs on the page, all expect two were primary- the second last one had just one line, and the last seens to be a artist collective, which does not seem independent. Plus I searched on google, and couldn't find anything, so i tagged it for deletion. (On an unrelated note, nice webcomic actually, I might read it). DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see where you're coming from, no worries! There are some good secondary references I was meaning to add over the weekend. I also completely neglected to mention the comic's impact on ComicFury. Indie comics tend to give a lot of repetitive results on Google (even the big ones) but if the admins give me more time, I'll add them tomorrow.
P.S. You should definitely read it! It's very good :^)

Return of Doctor Mysterio

[edit]

I've been trying to get TRODM to GAN but I've somewhat hit a wall with the plot summary would you by chance be willing to trim it down to 400 words? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 19:39, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, OlifanofmrTennant. It looks good, will pass easily at GAN, I think, well done. I didn't pay attention to the episode, so I'm not sure if my changes were completely correct though. DWF91 (talk) 21:07, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you I have sent it to GAN Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 01:30, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Favour?

[edit]

I noticed this file for the same day happen for an image of Twelfth Doctor as the Twelfth Doctor, and the same user who listed the image also listed this file for the same day (albeit not for Doctor Who). The same kind of rationale is used, and you all united together to vote against its deletion, and I am hoping the same support could possibly be shown for the other file I linked that is listed? All the best! livelikemusic (TALK!) 18:31, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please use a neutral message if you want to involve involved editors in a discussions- this can kind of count as WP:Canvassing with the tone of this message. DWF91 (talk) 18:46, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Did my best to make it as neutral as possible; apologies if it came-off as canvassing. livelikemusic (TALK!) 18:57, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your WikiCup submission: Template:Did you know nominations/Doctor Who series 13

[edit]

Hi DWF91, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Template:Did you know nominations/Doctor Who series 13 for DYK points, but unfortunately it is not eligible for DYK points because it was nominated to DYK as a newly promoted GA. I know this can be disappointing, but Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Did you know? states that only newly created or expanded DYKs are eligible for DYK points. The rules specifically exclude DYK submissions from receiving points if their appearance on DYK is solely because the article was a newly promoted GA. – Epicgenius (talk) 21:39, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay, sorry, I didn't notice lol. DWF91 (talk) 21:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter

[edit]

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
