Your WikiCup submissions: two FLCRs

Hi OlifanofmrTennant, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/1960 Winter Olympics medal table/archive1 and Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Magnum P.I. (2018 TV series) episodes/archive1 for FLCR points in the WikiCup. Unfortunately, neither of these submissions are currently long enough to qualify for points. I know this can be disappointing. In the future, I'd keep in mind that per Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, high-quality reviews generally contain at least 4-5 pieces or 100 words of substantial feedback, or if that is not possible, a summary paragraph describing how the article already meets the FLC criteria.

Ray Palmer (Arrowverse)

Hi OlifanofmrTennant, I've now finished my copy-edit. I think this article needs more work before it is nominated for GA status. I agree with your comment at REQ about the article's fictional biography section being long-winded so I've marked it as {{fancruft}}. I have somewhat reduced the verbiage and fixed the incorrect verb tenses (In Wikipedia, fictional happenings are described in the present tense, not the past tense), but summarising is not generally part of a copy-editor's task. Good luck with the article. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 22:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter

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disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia.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:

• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
• BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
• Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
• MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.

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!

Hi, OlifanofmrTennant, I had a nomination at GARC for Kosovo at the 2024 Summer Olympics, is there a reason you removed it? History6042😊 (Contact me) 01:28, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

WIkiProject Doctor Who: March 2025 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph Volume III, Issue I — March 2025 Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who One hell of a newsletter. Geronimoooo! Apparently this newsletter the queen of outer space... wait... no, sorry; that's Belinda! Swashbuckle your seatbelts because this newsletter is full of information regarding recent happenings in the Doctor Who WikiProject. You'll also find updates on the upcoming series and elsewhere the expanded Whoniverse. Series 15 The fifteenth series of Doctor Who is set to begin this Saturday with "The Robot Revolution" on 12 April and will conclude eight weeks later after "The Reality War" airs on 31 May. It will once again be accompanied by a new series of Doctor Who: Unleashed. Draft articles for all eight episodes have already been created, the links to which can be found here. New novelisations adapting the first three episodes of the series are set to be released on 10 July. Recent Article Regenerations Since the last Newsletter, we've had a whole heap of quality content added to the Project. The articles Thasmin, "Joy to the World", Vislor Turlough, "Space Babies", "Legend of the Sea Devils", Weeping Angel, Doctor Who series 13, Pyramids of Mars, "The Legend of Ruby Sunday", "The Power of the Doctor", The Twin Dilemma, "The Husbands of River Song", "Demons of the Punjab", Doctor Who Live, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", and Attack of the Cybermen have all been improved to GA-level quality. List of Torchwood episodes and List of Doctor Who episodes (2005-present) have been improved to FL-level quality, while the Doctor Who specials (2022) and Doctor Who series 14 Good Topics have been successfully promoted. An additional good topic covering the series articles from 2005–present has been nominated and is currently receiving feedback. Though content creation has slowed in recent months, content improvement should hopefully see an increase as series 15 ticks ever closer. Future Project Goals The WikiProject will once again be working in collaboration to complete a Good Topic encompassing the series and its related articles. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated. Several editors have planned upcoming work for Doctor Who-related character, episode, and performer articles. More information, as well as where you can find out how to help, can be found it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals. We Want You... To Help With The Newsletter Due to the departure of previous newsletter contributors, the Newsletter is beaming out a message from Stonehenge requesting your help. If anyone would like to help actively contribute to the Newsletter's content updates, please let us know, as we are willing to accept anyone who is interested in helping with writing the Newsletter. We'll all stories in the end... make sure the newsletter is a chapter in yours. Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network An additional novelisation for the fourteenth series adapting "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" and "Empire of Death" written by script editor Scott Handcock is also set to be released on 10 July. Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper are reuniting as the Ninth Doctor and Rose for a new series of Big Finish audio dramas due to be released from this August. A special hour-long episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed documenting Doctor Who's 2005 revival process is currently in production. It is set to be released later this year on BBC iPlayer in the UK and internationally on YouTube to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the revival. The blu-ray box set for Doctor Who season 7 collection was made available on 3 March. In breaking news, David Tennant almost didn't touch this.

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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!

David Tennant Filmography

I sent a quick message over on DC, but just in case you haven't seen it yet, here's a list of glaringly obvious things I noticed with this list:

1. The short description could be dialed in slightly
2. The image has a fixed PX size, and no alt text
3. It needs a lead expansion
4. No table captions
5. Unsourced works
6. Some missing works (Doctor Who Confidential and Doctor Who: Unleashed came to me)
7. Some duplicate references
8. Reference formatting issues (dates, titles, inconsistency, etc.)
9. We should be able to use this as a rough framework/to do list

I don't think this should be too hard for us to knock out. TheDoctorWho (talk) 17:42, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

I didn’t see that message my discord was stolen a while back and I haven’t bothered to make a new one. All of these problems check out although there is another being for several of the earlier tv roles the isn’t great sourcing out there Olliefant (she/her) 19:18, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Ah, makes sense. And noted, I hadn't gotten a chance to look over the quality of sources. I've also never brought a filmography to FLC before, so I don't know how specific the sources need to be. For example, this verifies that Tennant was cast in Ark, but not who he played and not that he was in three episodes. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:02, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

From my experience in Filmography FLCs all you need is something to confirm they were in the thing. The role falls under MOS:PLOTCITE Olliefant (she/her) 06:00, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

So far, we've promoted 33 GAs this year, and we're on track to beat our previous record of GAs promoted in a year (36 in 2012). In terms of Good Topics, Wikipedia:Featured topics/List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present) and Wikipedia:Good topics/Doctor Who series 14 were both promoted in May. Additionally, with the promotion of Yeti (Doctor Who) to FA status just this past month, the project has gotten its first FA status article in nearly a decade, with the last FA promotion being From The Doctor to my son Thomas in November 2015. Congratulations to all involved with these articles, and keep up the good work!

Draft:2024 Delaware elections

Heyo, was just curious if you were still working on the draft in question. In my personal opinion, I think it's ready for mainspace but was just curious if maybe you forgot to move it or just altogether. Cheers, Kline • talk • contribs 16:15, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, it sorta fell to the wayside in favor of other projects. I think it's pretty much main space worthy just needs a little more on the Lt. Governor's race.
