The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). 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).

Hi Casliber, I've been improving Flower for WP:TCC and have just finished a section on the flower's importance to plant taxonomy. Is this the kind of thing you had in mind when you commented on the original submission? I've also added a section on the etymology, fertilization, fruit and seed development, and seed dispersal, as well as rewrote pollination. I was going to ask you later because I still have to rewrite the morphology, symbolism and in culture sections, but are there any other sections you think are needed? Any help welcome :) Thanks, Draco phyllum 09:49, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

I hadn't heard/noticed anything more about the Good Article review this past week so I just wanted to make sure things were still going okay. I think I have made the improvements requested at Talk:1873–74 Scottish Cup/GA1, I couldn't find anything more about why certain teams did/didn't compete so I don't think I can expand that any further.

Hello:
My work on the article osteogenesis imperfecta is drawing to a close. All that remains to be done to meet the issues brought up in its last review is to add a section on genetic screening for the condition. WP:FAC states that editors should seek a mentor before they seek promotion to FA. I was thinking of just aiming for another GA, but perhaps I need a challenge. Seeing as you're a physician, would you be interested in helping see this article become an FA? FYI, I have the condition, and donated my own X-rays to the article.

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

Maybe the hardest thing about getting the etymology lists (see my user page) through FLC was that, when a reviewer asked for something different from what was in the previous lists, I usually didn't know if it was something previous reviewers had opinions on or not, so I didn't know if I should go back and ask them. So, I'm thinking of starting my new list series (it focuses on characteristics common within particular plant orders) by looking at Proteales, Poales, etc. ... these are more likely to attract comments right away from plants people. But I wouldn't want to tackle Proteales at a time when you're busy, because I know you'll be likely to have comments ... is this a good time to work on that list? - Dank ( push to talk) 17:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I appealed an unblock request more than a month ago. The consensus seemed to be that I was making edits without reaching an understanding with other users; however, in addition to 2 of my edits being accepted (Goldsmith and Sussman) and having peaceful discussions with others I disagreed with previously, I have tried to communicate proposals for other articles like Singha and Corey Stewart, but am being ignored. Perhaps it's time for an unblock? Thank you for your consideration. Sucker for All ( talk) 13:36, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, Cas Liber. I'm part of a group of psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists who are interested in re-activating Wikiproject Psychology and improving the psychology pages, particularly those pertaining to psychodynamic psychology, which does not always get balanced treatment on Wikipedia. We are interested in a multi-disciplinary, integrative approach to psychology, not in trying to whitewash controversies or engage in hagiography of Freud, but we would like to see a clearer, more accurate representation of his important contributions, including pioneering insight-oriented psychotherapy and describing defense mechanisms like denial (which has become a real problem in the domain of public health, interfering with vaccination, etc., and should be talked about openly on Wikipedia!). We would also be able to contribute to creating a fairer, more nuanced, but also clear-eyed account of the field's long history of methodological failings and its marginalized status, which are more complex than the misleading and activist accusation of "pseudoscience." Perhaps you could help us navigate some of the anti-Freudian activism on pages like "Freud" and "Psychoanalysis," where gross violations like sockpuppetry have been an issue. For example, this user Polisher of Cobwebs, who also edits under the name Freeknowledgecreator and possibly Skoojal, has written a great deal of the Freud page, engaged in edit wars to defend his/her idea that only a negative account of Freud is accurate, and he/she appears to still be active there. Doc James let me know about the extraordinary work you've done for Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine and we would love to have your help with WikiProject Psychology. Would you like to join us or explore the possibility of working together? Hypoplectrus ( talk) 01:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I have really appreciated your great work on the Kererū article. This has led me to ask whether you have interest and capacity to help improve the Seabird article that was recently delisted from FA status. I am not a topic expert, but New Zealand is sometimes said to be the "seabird capital of the world", and as a New Zealander, I have an interest in seabirds. I am currently working to improve Hutton's shearwater, as one example,and other articles associated with Kaikōura - a "hot spot" for seabirds in New Zealand. Are you able to help me out with work to improve Seabird. The initial aim would be to get it to a state where it could be nominated for GA. ?? Marshelec ( talk) 05:42, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
We follow the taxonomy of BirdLife International (2010a) and define seabirds as species for which a large proportion of the total population rely on the marine environment for at least part of the year. With this circumscription, 346 species qualify, of which 282 meet a stricter definition (excluding ducks, loons, etc.) used in some earlier reviews (e.g. Croxall et al. 1984). We subdivided seabirds into three groups. Pelagic seabirds are those that primarily use marine pelagic deep water (sea above open ocean, typically >200 m in depth) and/or marine neritic pelagic continental shelf water (sea above continental shelf or around near-shore oceanic islands, typically <200 m in depth) excluding species that may occasionally use these habitats, but that are more typical of coastal inshore waters. Coastal seabirds (year-round) are those that primarily use coastal inshore water (sea along coasts, typically <8 km from the shoreline) throughout the year, excluding species that may occasionally use this habitat, but do not do so typically. Coastal seabirds (nonbreeding season) are those that primarily use coastal inshore water during the non-breeding season, excluding species that may occasionally use this habitat but do not do so typically.
Generally speaking, seabirds are birds that are adapted for life in a marine environment. While these adaptations can be exhibited in a variety of different ways, they’re often attributed to their behavior and physiology. There are many different groups of birds that use saltwater habitats but aren’t considered true seabirds. They include loons, grebes, sea ducks, herons, and shorebirds (except for two phalarope species that spend their winters in the open ocean). The groups that are usually considered true seabirds are “tubenoses”: shearwaters, petrels, storm-petrels, and albatrosses. The name “tubenose” refers to the tubular structures on the bills of these birds that cover the nostrils. These birds have well-developed glands near these bill tubes that allow them to consume seawater and then excrete salt from the solution. That means these birds will not need to drink or even see freshwater for their entire lives. Penguins, skuas, gulls, terns, alcids, boobies, tropicbirds, frigatebirds, and skimmers are also considered seabirds. However, not all species under those groups depend on the ocean for their entire life cycle.
Following a 2 week brainstorming period and a 1 week proposal period, the 30 day discussion of changes to our Request for Adminship process has begun. Following feedback on Phase 1, in order to ensure that the largest number of people possible can see all proposals, new proposals will only be accepted for the for the first 7 days of Phase 2. The 30 day discussion is scheduled to last until November 30. Please join the discussion or even submit your own proposal.
There is 1 future mailing planned with the results of Phase 2. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists
How many good faith editors have you personally chased of Wikipedia to create your pathetic little imaginary fiefdom Beeblebrox?
"I know that Beeblebrox in particular (currently on ArbCom) has an obsessive hatred for us in particular and will do anything possible to prevent either of us from ever being welcomed back in any fashion. I really can't imagine a scenario in which either of us are actually unblocked but it would probably take something we'd be unwilling to go along with.
....
"Over a decade ago, Durova had cautioned me about how some mentally unstable editors might fixate on adversaries and even take their harassment off-wiki, which I have actually experienced. At this point, I don't think Wikipedia's worth it. Maybe, if you started your own Wiki or if I made you an admin on a Wikia wiki or something that I might still have admin abilities on, that could be an outlet? But as for actual Wikipedia, you have people like Beeblebrox and Reyk that even ten years on will still be obsessed with us. Granted, some of these people are inept, but others should not be underestimated in what they could do to disrupt people's lives where you really have to ask if it's worth the cost to deal with or if you're skilled cyberally to counter them? ...

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). 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).

Hi Casliber, I've been improving Flower for WP:TCC and have just finished a section on the flower's importance to plant taxonomy. Is this the kind of thing you had in mind when you commented on the original submission? I've also added a section on the etymology, fertilization, fruit and seed development, and seed dispersal, as well as rewrote pollination. I was going to ask you later because I still have to rewrite the morphology, symbolism and in culture sections, but are there any other sections you think are needed? Any help welcome :) Thanks, Draco phyllum 09:49, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Hello, hope you are well.
I hadn't heard/noticed anything more about the Good Article review this past week so I just wanted to make sure things were still going okay. I think I have made the improvements requested at Talk:1873–74 Scottish Cup/GA1, I couldn't find anything more about why certain teams did/didn't compete so I don't think I can expand that any further. If you've any more thoughts about the article, I'd love to hear them.

Hello:
My work on the article osteogenesis imperfecta is drawing to a close. All that remains to be done to meet the issues brought up in its last review is to add a section on genetic screening for the condition. WP:FAC states that editors should seek a mentor before they seek promotion to FA. I was thinking of just aiming for another GA, but perhaps I need a challenge. Seeing as you're a physician, would you be interested in helping see this article become an FA? FYI, I have the condition, and donated my own X-rays to the article.

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

Maybe the hardest thing about getting the etymology lists (see my user page) through FLC was that, when a reviewer asked for something different from what was in the previous lists, I usually didn't know if it was something previous reviewers had opinions on or not, so I didn't know if I should go back and ask them. So, I'm thinking of starting my new list series (it focuses on characteristics common within particular plant orders) by looking at Proteales, Poales, etc. ... these are more likely to attract comments right away from plants people. But I wouldn't want to tackle Proteales at a time when you're busy, because I know you'll be likely to have comments ... is this a good time to work on that list? - Dank ( push to talk) 17:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I appealed an unblock request more than a month ago. The consensus seemed to be that I was making edits without reaching an understanding with other users; however, in addition to 2 of my edits being accepted (Goldsmith and Sussman) and having peaceful discussions with others I disagreed with previously, I have tried to communicate proposals for other articles like Singha and Corey Stewart, but am being ignored.

Hi Casliber,
Discussion is still continuing on this FAR. I think it is going in circles at this late stage. I think you suggested you'd close the discussion around September 30th? Thank for your help, I know that unfortunately there is a lot of discussion to get through.-- Quality posts here ( talk) 16:42, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for Eastern brown snake, "about a badass snake that is considered the world's second most venomous snake...except that it isn't...except that it sort of is. The ranking was based on a highly potent neurotoxin isolated from the venom...except that in people it has almost no neurotoxic effects...however, it is responsible for most deaths from snakebite in Australia due to the severe damage it does to the human circulatory system."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:05, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, Cas Liber. I'm part of a group of psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists who are interested in re-activating Wikiproject Psychology and improving the psychology pages, particularly those pertaining to psychodynamic psychology, which does not always get balanced treatment on Wikipedia. We are interested in a multi-disciplinary, integrative approach to psychology, not in trying to whitewash controversies or engage in hagiography of Freud, but we would like to see a clearer, more accurate representation of his important contributions, including pioneering insight-oriented psychotherapy and describing defense mechanisms like denial (which has become a real problem in the domain of public health, interfering with vaccination, etc., and should be talked about openly on Wikipedia!). We would also be able to contribute to creating a fairer, more nuanced, but also clear-eyed account of the field's long history of methodological failings and its marginalized status, which are more complex than the misleading and activist accusation of "pseudoscience." Perhaps you could help us navigate some of the anti-Freudian activism on pages like "Freud" and "Psychoanalysis," where gross violations like sockpuppetry have been an issue. For example, this user Polisher of Cobwebs, who also edits under the name Freeknowledgecreator and possibly Skoojal, has written a great deal of the Freud page, engaged in edit wars to defend his/her idea that only a negative account of Freud is accurate, and he/she appears to still be active there. Doc James let me know about the extraordinary work you've done for Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine and we would love to have your help with WikiProject Psychology. Would you like to join us or explore the possibility of working together? Hypoplectrus ( talk) 01:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I have really appreciated your great work on the Kererū article. This has led me to ask whether you have interest and capacity to help improve the Seabird article that was recently delisted from FA status. I am not a topic expert, but New Zealand is sometimes said to be the "seabird capital of the world", and as a New Zealander, I have an interest in seabirds. I am currently working to improve Hutton's shearwater, as one example,and other articles associated with Kaikōura - a "hot spot" for seabirds in New Zealand. Are you able to help me out with work to improve Seabird. The initial aim would be to get it to a state where it could be nominated for GA. ?? Marshelec ( talk) 05:42, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
We follow the taxonomy of BirdLife International (2010a) and define seabirds as species for which a large proportion of the total population rely on the marine environment for at least part of the year. With this circumscription, 346 species qualify, of which 282 meet a stricter definition (excluding ducks, loons, etc.) used in some earlier reviews (e.g. Croxall et al. 1984). We subdivided seabirds into three groups. Pelagic seabirds are those that primarily use marine pelagic deep water (sea above open ocean, typically >200 m in depth) and/or marine neritic pelagic continental shelf water (sea above continental shelf or around near-shore oceanic islands, typically <200 m in depth) excluding species that may occasionally use these habitats, but that are more typical of coastal inshore waters. Coastal seabirds (year-round) are those that primarily use coastal inshore water (sea along coasts, typically <8 km from the shoreline) throughout the year, excluding species that may occasionally use this habitat, but do not do so typically. Coastal seabirds (nonbreeding season) are those that primarily use coastal inshore water during the non-breeding season, excluding species that may occasionally use this habitat but do not do so typically.
Generally speaking, seabirds are birds that are adapted for life in a marine environment. While these adaptations can be exhibited in a variety of different ways, they’re often attributed to their behavior and physiology. There are many different groups of birds that use saltwater habitats but aren’t considered true seabirds. They include loons, grebes, sea ducks, herons, and shorebirds (except for two phalarope species that spend their winters in the open ocean). The groups that are usually considered true seabirds are “tubenoses”: shearwaters, petrels, storm-petrels, and albatrosses. The name “tubenose” refers to the tubular structures on the bills of these birds that cover the nostrils. These birds have well-developed glands near these bill tubes that allow them to consume seawater and then excrete salt from the solution. That means these birds will not need to drink or even see freshwater for their entire lives. Penguins, skuas, gulls, terns, alcids, boobies, tropicbirds, frigatebirds, and skimmers are also considered seabirds. However, not all species under those groups depend on the ocean for their entire life cycle.
Following a 2 week brainstorming period and a 1 week proposal period, the 30 day discussion of changes to our Request for Adminship process has begun. Following feedback on Phase 1, in order to ensure that the largest number of people possible can see all proposals, new proposals will only be accepted for the for the first 7 days of Phase 2. The 30 day discussion is scheduled to last until November 30. Please join the discussion or even submit your own proposal.
There is 1 future mailing planned with the results of Phase 2. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists
How many good faith editors have you personally chased of Wikipedia to create your pathetic little imaginary fiefdom Beeblebrox?
"I know that Beeblebrox in particular (currently on ArbCom) has an obsessive hatred for us in particular and will do anything possible to prevent either of us from ever being welcomed back in any fashion. I really can't imagine a scenario in which either of us are actually unblocked but it would probably take something we'd be unwilling to go along with.
....
"Over a decade ago, Durova had cautioned me about how some mentally unstable editors might fixate on adversaries and even take their harassment off-wiki, which I have actually experienced. At this point, I don't think Wikipedia's worth it. Maybe, if you started your own Wiki or if I made you an admin on a Wikia wiki or something that I might still have admin abilities on, that could be an outlet? But as for actual Wikipedia, you have people like Beeblebrox and Reyk that even ten years on will still be obsessed with us. Granted, some of these people are inept, but others should not be underestimated in what they could do to disrupt people's lives where you really have to ask if it's worth the cost to deal with or if you're skilled cyberally to counter them? ... Your pathetic rule and your ilk is built on a hose of cards Beeblebrox
