WP:RETENTION: This editor is willing to lend a helping hand. Just ask. Additional topic(s) include: the Syrian civil war the Russo-Ukrainian war Uyghurs Blockchain and cryptocurrencies Also, I've seen some new users confuse the AfD acronym with the political party (I'm not joking). On Wikipedia, "AfD" refers to the article deletion process.

Dear god, is that Frederick Fazington Oursus III?

Question from GreatCmsrNgubane (06:08, 6 April 2025)

Hello mentor, I would like to know what app or platform editors use to revert specific edits of vandals. --GreatCmsrNgubane (talk) 06:08, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

RedWarn/Ultraviolet and Twinkle are some good options. Lupin's anti-vandal tool works too, but it's quite old, and its creator has left Wikipedia a long time ago, so it might crash at any time. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 11:34, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Don't feed the trolls

[1] this is not someone who is ever likely to make constructive contributions in this topic area. (t · c) buidhe 22:21, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Buidhe, yeah I realized that after I posted that reply. I ended up scrolling through their contributions, and they have a blatant Armenian genocide denialist/Turk ultranationalist POV-pushing agenda. I now have the gut feeling to bring this to ANI at this point, as they are clearly wasting people's time with their nonsense. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 22:39, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Moxxerella (22:10, 12 April 2025)

Could you explain notability to me? What makes a person notable? Is it just meaning they need to have a page about them, or is it relevancy to the information, or what? Thank you! --Moxxerella (talk) 22:10, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Notability means that a topic is eligible for a Wikipedia article. It means that said topic has in-depth coverage from reputable sources (e.g. newspapers of record, academic journals, books published by university presses, etc). 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 22:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello how do I upload traditional music? --Gweskada Tapshak Inuwa (talk) 23:51, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

For one, make sure the recording(s) and composition(s) are free to use and not restricted by copyright; then upload the file to Wikimedia Commons. If you need to add a fair use sample, make sure it follows the non-free content guidelines. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 21:40, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Fractal FAQ

Hey I saw you made a new FAQ on Fractal... did else something happen? I really did write with the presumption that his real name was common knowledge for how quickly I saw it on Google. I still feel awful that he thinks he was doxxed, that was never ever the point. How would Wikipedia feel if I just removed his name all together? I've never had to deal with something like this before but I want to know what you think. Very Respectfully, Johnson524 00:45, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Johnson524, no, nothing happened. I just wanted to explain the matter in case a bunch of angry readers come to the talk page. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 01:03, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
