Hi! How's it going? I know you recently haven't edited much about Venezuela cinema, but I just wanted to let you know I recently started the Venezuelan cinema in the 2020s article, during Simón's GA nomination. Since this is the first article of this kind that I create, I wanted to ask if you had any advice about structure or possible additions. Best wishes!

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I'm still not sure why you removed the September 16th 2022 arrest of Diallo ("mise en examen" in French). I understand you don't want a chronological order, but the date is "legally" more serious than the first Diallo arrest. Does it have to do with "arrest =/= conviction"? For Molina, the issue is that some sources are from social media or YouTube. How do you reference a social media source? I understand they are not usable as a newspaper source.

WP:NYPOST is not a reliable source, in general, and there are examples of them deliberately misleading with information about crimes to make people seem more or less guilty in a way that is sensationalist and/or fits NY Post's preferred narrative. Those examples relate to New York, but I have no confidence that they would be more diligent in ensuring accuracy when covering a story that isn't about the city their primary readership is actually familiar with. Kingsif (talk) 14:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Got it. It's a tabloid. If you need two solid sources: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/sports/article/2022/09/16/footballer-aminata-diallo-placed-in-custody-once-again-over-teammate-hamraoui-s-assault_5997128_9.html

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 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!

I took a wikibreak. I noticed that the Women's series never got added to the Wikipedia:Did you know/Hall of Fame/Themed sets. I'm in the process of doing this. When I'm done, you can add this to your list of accomplishments, {{User DYK HoF}}. --evrik (talk) 23:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If someone adds unsourced info to an article but claimed it was sourced and adds a paywalled source. But you suspected it was wrong and also you have subscribed to that paper and can read the paywalled article. If you know they are deliberately adding in falsehoods or unsourced statements into the article, how do you deal with that scenario? Is there like an authority editor who is willing to subscribe to paywalled articles and resolve this? Not sure what to do. --Jakeswimfan888 (talk) 15:00, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The first thing to do is challenge the user to provide the part of the article that supports their statement on the talkpage of the article on Wikipedia. If it still seems sketchy, you can ask them to send you the entire source via email. If they're refusing to do either, remove the content under WP:V and explain that you have tried to verify. Depending on what the source is, regular Wikipedia editors can get free access to certain sources through the WP:Wikipedia Library, but there will also be a variety of editors who are subscribed to different things. I don't know if WP:Resource exchange is as popular as it used to be, but asking there. Kingsif (talk) 20:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wanted to contact you since you were the one who merged the content. The tables in the overview all refer to Olympians, as do the hidden comments. Was this copied from an incorrect location/template (i.e. Olympian template instead of now-deleted Paralympian template, which worries me that the information in the tables could be incorrect (it's at the least out of date right now as far as I can tell)) or are all the Olympian references typos somehow? Thanks. - Purplewowies (talk) 18:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
-
Yeah, it was copied from a previous template. It's not been updated to the current Games, and given some of the past lists were merged I would encourage a check, but that'll be why. Kingsif (talk) 00:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
-
Okay, good to know! I just was worried somehow the wrong template had been copied because of all the Olympian references. Thanks! *makes a mental note to try to see if I can't examine the article more closely for updates/discrepancies if I get time* - Purplewowies (talk) 17:04, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, 
BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, 
Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and 
AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!
The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

- Hi, sorry I've been absent for a few days. I saw the prompt and thought, yeah, when I first heard of Women in Red it was a pretty big thing on Wikipedia and one of my first thoughts was whether I should be involved at all or if that would be sort of taking up space where I felt I may be intruding - I got over that pretty immediately, all editors are helpful in the pursuit, though still sometimes worry about how my perspective informs how I may write articles - but still sometimes feel overstepping when I become more involved in the background stuff. A project centred on countering gender systemic bias should, really, have its organisational infrastructure operated by women - for the practical purpose of making sure that happens at every stage, not just ideology.
- But through engaging more with people in and around WiR, I have felt more comfortable advocating for gender equality in coverage in other areas of Wikipedia, places that aren't women's biographies and may be so detached they wouldn't come under a women's history tag and not get direct attention from the project. All in all, the resources at WiR are useful to anyone writing any biography, can help provide a starting point for creating biographies on people who are from other minority groups, and in general give editors the confidence and tools to improve Wikipedia's coverage of anyone and anything that may have faced systemic bias and/or erasure. I'd encourage people of any gender identity to get involved, obviously for the main and very noble purpose, but also to help editors develop into the best they can be.

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).

Hello, Kingsif,
Some of your "List of winning streaks" drafts are coming up for CSD G13 speedy deletion and I came to your User talk page to see if you had received notification about them from Firefly bot in the past. I tried looking in your User talk page archive and was very surprised. Do you know that it contains over 1,000 discussions and ends at December 2023? You might consider dividing it up into multiple smaller archives. Typically, editors archive a month or two's worth of messages in an archive page or maybe an entire year's worth of messages but not 5 or 6 years worth of messages. This makes the archive pages more usable and easy to find specific messages posted to your User talk page. I archive my User talk pages manually but I see you have ClueBot III set up. There have been problems with ClueBot III's archiving of talk pages in the past for other editors so you might review your settings.
Of course, your User pages are up to you to manage. But since I tried to make use of them and had a problem, I thought I'd leave you a note while I'm here. Have a great weekend. Liz Read! Talk! 01:11, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the message - I also think I have two archive pages that are labelled /1, an old bot that wasn't as effective as it could be and I've just not tried to fix it. I might do that.
- FWIW, I draftified those lists after overhauling the main subject article, on the understanding that some users in the delete discussion thought the statistics might be useful and would work on them. Last time they were up for deletion, I notified discussion again, so I have no objection. Kingsif (talk) 22:27, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can I use YouTube videos of a person(posted by that person himself) as references in that person's article? --Proton4525 (talk) 15:44, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, this falls under self-published sources. It depends what information the video would be used to source, and, importantly they cannot be the only source for notability-defining information. What that means is that Wikipedia won't accept articles about some random person who has made a bunch of YouTube videos with claims of significance, other sources have to cover them. Ideally, there will be other independent sources that have reported on the content of the videos you're thinking of, though small bits of information it's fine. Kingsif (talk) 21:13, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Kingsif, this is Ktsamba. I have just published a page on ion beam deflection for asteroids. Just wondering how long we have to wait in order to have it publicly visible on wikipedia. I guess it needs to be reviewed but I am not sure how the process goes. Thanks. --Ktsamba (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Ktsamba, I'd first ask if the topic is already/could be suitably covered as a section on a different article (I specifically think of Asteroid impact avoidance). Second, you've effectively made that draft in the 'wrong place'. It's fine to draft an article anywhere if you're then able to publish it yourself - otherwise, you have to make a draft through the WP:AfC process and then hit "submit", so that other users are notified that the draft exists and the author (yourself) thinks it's ready to be published.
