Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
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 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

Hi, Bruce. I don't understand the explanation you gave in this edit summary (on August 10), in which you referred to "two Link photos". Before my edit, the article had a total of one Link photo, so I added one, which you removed, and since then the article has again had only a single Link photo. I suppose you meant "two photos", rather than "two Link photos", but I still feel my addition was logical and justified, and I know of no policy or guideline that says having two photos together (on top of one another) is discouraged. The two photos I added on August 10 differed from one another in several ways: One showed a bus, the other a light rail train; one a Metro vehicle, the other a Sound Transit vehicle; and they had different orientations/compositions, one with the platform on the left and showing the mezzanine's viewpoint, the other with the platform on the right. Considering these multiple differences, the two images are complementary, not repetitive. Why do you feel that an article that is now very long and a good candidate for GA (thanks to your expansion) cannot justify more than one Link photo? The only photo currently in the article does not show the end of the train, and while its blurriness (maybe intentional) from the moving train might be appealing to some readers, it is unattractive to others. Had the removal come from any other editor, I might have just reinstated the second Link photo, but since you were the editor who carried out the major expansion, I felt you deserved the opportunity to explain your position to me first. (Of course, I am hoping I might have changed your mind.) You may reply here, on your talk page. – SJ Morg ( talk) 08:35, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

To the families of people that was not helped in order to rescue an inexistent girl. © Tbhotch ™ ( en-2.5). 03:48, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
I've done nothing to establish the notability of that hoax because I've been helping my people instead of sitting my ass off writing an article that won't do something for them. I always critizise Spanish Wikipedia articles for being incomplete, but es:Terremoto de Puebla de 2017 can clearly teach English Wikipedia how to write a complete article (don't blame it on "it was in a Spanish-speaking country", the lack of information is not because of that).
You justify Trump's inclusion as "There is a precedent to include condolences and aid from heads of state into disaster articles, so it fits." Have you attempted to add Canada's, Russia's, Venezuela's, Israel's, Spain's, [1] Germany's, Italy's, EU's, France's, [2], UK's, UN's, Paraguay's, Vatican's, Guyana's, Panama's, Portugal's, Finland's, Kyrgyzstan's, [3] Colombia's, Honduras', Argentina's, Bolivia's, Guatemala's, Chile's, Ecuador's, Nicaragua's, Brazil's, Salvador's, [4] Kazakhstan's, OECD's, OAS', [5] China's, [6], Switzerland's. [7] (I don't know if there are more). Or that multiple national and international companies have made donatives? "It is not my job to add them" you might think or say. "Obviously", it is my answer, but for what I can see in the history you created it, nominated it for ITN, and once it was there you said "well let's do something else, who cares about updating this article anymore." Yet, besides not adding more information, you are deciding what should or should not go there.
"With efforts still underway to rescue people crushed by rubble following Mexico City’s 7.1 magnutiude earthquake, people across the country are outraged by the fact that TV network Televisa devoted extensive coverage to the story of Frida Sofia, a little girl allegedly trapped under the remains of her elementary school. Televisa’s rescue effort live-stream went on through the night, according to the Daily Beast, and included heartwrenching details, such as Frida Sofia waving her tiny hand and saying she was tired. But Frida Sofia, it turned out, never existed, leaving viewers who had been watching and praying for the girl feeling duped and manipulated for ratings." Rachel Withers for Slate
And you ask Frida Sofía's WP:N: here it is: How to write about her, courtesy of Spanish Wikipedia. How to source the hoax (I will mix sources from when we thought she was real, and when Mexican Navy apologized for lying): [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26], there are +100 more; and how it was compared to a similar 1985 earthquake case of a kid named Luis Ramón "Monchito" that didn't exist as well: [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34], +25 more; and it was even compared to Simpsons Did It episode " Radio Bart": [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40], +30 more.
Most of them are in Spanish, but even in Google.mx I got results in English, so I'm sure there are way more. So, instead of call this "clickbait", or Americans' new neologism for clickbait, "Fake news", be that user that if proud of his 30 GA and don't go around getting conclusions based on his personal (and not encyclopedic) point of view of what is or is not notable. © Tbhotch ™ ( en-2.5). 18:47, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:54, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup?

Sorry for making a hash out of south Snohomish County geography at the casino article. I should have looked at a map instead of going from memory. But maybe this underlines the section needs a bit of work to get the locations straight. Smokey Point and Tulalip are just across I-5 from one another aren't they? ☆

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
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 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs!

Hi, Bruce. I don't understand the explanation you gave in this edit summary (on August 10), in which you referred to "two Link photos". Before my edit, the article had a total of one Link photo, so I added one, which you removed, and since then the article has again had only a single Link photo. I suppose you meant "two photos", rather than "two Link photos", but I still feel my addition was logical and justified, and I know of no policy or guideline that says having two photos together (on top of one another) is discouraged. The two photos I added on August 10 differed from one another in several ways: One showed a bus, the other a light rail train; one a Metro vehicle, the other a Sound Transit vehicle; and they had different orientations/compositions, one with the platform on the left and showing the mezzanine's viewpoint, the other with the platform on the right. Considering these multiple differences, the two images are complementary, not repetitive. Why do you feel that an article that is now very long and a good candidate for GA (thanks to your expansion) cannot justify more than one Link photo? The only photo currently in the article does not show the end of the train, and while its blurriness (maybe intentional) from the moving train might be appealing to some readers, it is unattractive to others. Had the removal come from any other editor, I might have just reinstated the second Link photo, but since you were the editor who carried out the major expansion, I felt you deserved the opportunity to explain your position to me first. (Of course, I am hoping I might have changed your mind.) You may reply here, on your talk page. – SJ Morg ( talk) 08:35, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

To the families of people that was not helped in order to rescue an inexistent girl. © Tbhotch ™ ( en-2.5). 03:48, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
I've done nothing to establish the notability of that hoax because I've been helping my people instead of sitting my ass off writing an article that won't do something for them. I always critizise Spanish Wikipedia articles for being incomplete, but es:Terremoto de Puebla de 2017 can clearly teach English Wikipedia how to write a complete article (don't blame it on "it was in a Spanish-speaking country", the lack of information is not because of that).
You justify Trump's inclusion as "There is a precedent to include condolences and aid from heads of state into disaster articles, so it fits." Have you attempted to add Canada's, Russia's, Venezuela's, Israel's, Spain's, [1] Germany's, Italy's, EU's, France's, [2], UK's, UN's, Paraguay's, Vatican's, Guyana's, Panama's, Portugal's, Finland's, Kyrgyzstan's, [3] Colombia's, Honduras', Argentina's, Bolivia's, Guatemala's, Chile's, Ecuador's, Nicaragua's, Brazil's, Salvador's, [4] Kazakhstan's, OECD's, OAS', [5] China's, [6], Switzerland's. [7] (I don't know if there are more). Or that multiple national and international companies have made donatives? "It is not my job to add them" you might think or say. "Obviously", it is my answer, but for what I can see in the history you created it, nominated it for ITN, and once it was there you said "well let's do something else, who cares about updating this article anymore." Yet, besides not adding more information, you are deciding what should or should not go there.
"With efforts still underway to rescue people crushed by rubble following Mexico City’s 7.1 magnutiude earthquake, people across the country are outraged by the fact that TV network Televisa devoted extensive coverage to the story of Frida Sofia, a little girl allegedly trapped under the remains of her elementary school. Televisa’s rescue effort live-stream went on through the night, according to the Daily Beast, and included heartwrenching details, such as Frida Sofia waving her tiny hand and saying she was tired. But Frida Sofia, it turned out, never existed, leaving viewers who had been watching and praying for the girl feeling duped and manipulated for ratings." Rachel Withers for Slate
And you ask Frida Sofía's WP:N: here it is: How to write about her, courtesy of Spanish Wikipedia. How to source the hoax (I will mix sources from when we thought she was real, and when Mexican Navy apologized for lying): [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26], there are +100 more; and how it was compared to a similar 1985 earthquake case of a kid named Luis Ramón "Monchito" that didn't exist as well: [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34], +25 more; and it was even compared to Simpsons Did It episode " Radio Bart": [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40], +30 more.
Most of them are in Spanish, but even in Google.mx I got results in English, so I'm sure there are way more. So, instead of call this "clickbait", or Americans' new neologism for clickbait, "Fake news", be that user that if proud of his 30 GA and don't go around getting conclusions based on his personal (and not encyclopedic) point of view of what is or is not notable. © Tbhotch ™ ( en-2.5). 18:47, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles.

Hi there! I would be picking up your GA articles for review, but it would take me from now to four hours to complete it, as I would be going to university in a while. So, would complete it there. If there is a time mismatch and you need me to fix the GAN issues myself, please let me know. Adityavagarwal ( talk) 02:26, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

I know that you've had several city articles promoted to GA or FA. I understand that you also seem to have physical newspaper references on the pages. Do you access these online, or off? What is your typical workflow like when researching?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Washington State Route 20, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colville River ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sorry for making a hash out of south Snohomish County geography at the casino article. I should have looked at a map instead of going from memory. But maybe this underlines the section needs a bit of work to get the locations straight. Smokey Point and Tulalip are just across I-5 from one another aren't they? ☆

Be careful when you are editing that you do not save over edits by other editors. You removed my edits by editing an older version, then gave a reason for removing my edits that didn't correspond to the changes made. Natureium ( talk) 18:26, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Please stop reverting to previous versions as you did in
2017 Washington train derailment. You are overwriting removing constructive edits in the process. You are still responsible for edits you make using Twinkle. Thank you.
