Kamila_Valieva locked with misinformation
why did you request a lock for Kamila_Valieva page while it contained confirmed misinformation? detailed in talk of that page . remove the misinformation. as of now there is no confirmed positive test. but page says there is even cited source do not say any such thing. don't use, or help in the use, of wikipedia for slanderous projects especially against children — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2402:4000:2081:A720:48DB:50BF:A506:2 (talk) 03:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- @2402:4000:2081:A720:48DB:50BF:A506:2 there have already been responses to you on Talk:Kamila Valieva, but I just want to reiterate that I am not in any way trying to slander Valieva. I requested a page lock so that experienced editors will be able to edit the page as this situation develops rather than letting people vandalize the page.

Gymnastics
Can you help me fix the mess Lugnuts has made by making a crap ton of gymnastics stubs that say an athelete competed on all events when they didn’t make it past qualifications, please? Examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Chung-sik, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Rehm. I just change the article to say that they competed at the Olympics, or if they made an individual final, their ranking from the final(s).
- @Afheather I am not particularly interested in challenging Lugnuts because as you know, they are very defensive of their own pages. I agree the way they write their Olympic stubs is unnatural and doesn't make sense. My current focus is on improving 2020 Olympian articles, but if I come across any of those kinds of stubs, I'll change them. -Riley1012 (talk) 16:55, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.- Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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.
Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter
The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
- Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
- AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
- Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

on WAG
Hello! I have two questions I wanted to ask you. First of all, how do you get an article's ranking upgraded (for example a C-article to a B-article)? I only know how to nominate an article for good-article status, and would like to help get more pages to at least B status. I have added competition history to Latynina and Comaneci in hopes that they can soon be nominated for good-article status. That leads me to my second question. I have currently added competition history tables to 9 gymnasts and plan and doing this for many more. It's hard to search through wikipedia sometimes though, so I was wondering if you have any pages you're working on that you see no competition history so that I can add it and people can work on something else. Thanks! :)
TheWAGymFan (talk) 18:52, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi TheWAGymFan, you can change an article's ranking by editing its talk page. At the top of each talk page you'll see the WikiProjects the article is under and if you need to change the ranking, you can change the value for |class= for each WikiProject. As you mentioned you have to nominate an article for GA status, but if it's below a GA you can change the ranking yourself once you've upgraded the article. I can't think of any pages off the top of my head that need competitive history added, but I do know that a lot of pages need to have the style of the competitive history changed. We've been using a different format recently so some of the older pages have the old format for competitive history (ex: Simona Amânar). Thanks for your help! -Riley1012 (talk) 20:01, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Gotcha, thanks! I was very confused by Latynina being considered C-class as opposed to B-class, as well as Onodi being in stub and not start. However, I'm still unsure of how much gymnastics information is required before updating a class so I've steered clear of trying. I also nominated Biles and Comaneci for good-article status so at the very least they can each be reviewed. I also suggested Boginskaya, Chusovitina and Khorkina be considered for vital article status. And also since I saw you wanted to update Flavia, I did end up adding the few competitions missing from her competition history. Also, can you do me a favor if you're able to and fix the color highlight for Nina Bocharova? It seems to have gone over the year and I'm unsure of how to fix that. Thanks for your response :) Still getting used to wikipedia but I'm starting to get it.
- TheWAGymFan (talk) 20:07, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- For Latynina I think there needs to be more references and expansion before upgrading it. It's definitely an article I've wanted to work on but I've been focusing on current gymnasts at the moment. Ónodi is definitely at least a start article, I went ahead and changed that. I fixed the Bocharova article, when you have a color highlight for the first competition in a year you just have a basically add another row. Just a couple of notes from the Bocharova article- we don't typically put the location of an Olympics/Worlds in the competitive history, just the name of the event. Also, don't put the reference in the sub-heading, you can put it either below or above the table. It's also best to avoid using Bare URLs as references, you can use Template:Cite web as I just did on the Bocharova page. Thanks again for the help! -Riley1012 (talk) 21:20, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Running from October 1 to 31, 2022, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event – Wildcard Edition! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to any and all women and women's works during the event period. Want to improve an article about a Bollywood actress? Go for it. A pioneering female scientist? Absolutely. An award-winning autobiography by a woman? Yes! GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to receive a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. 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 the overall leader in this field.

DYK for Sanne Wevers
On 20 November 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sanne Wevers, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.
