Hi Mentor. I see one of the guidelines for adding links to other Wikipedia articles is that you should only provide the link for the first time the word/phrase appears. In most encyclopedia instances this makes sense. But I was recently editing a list for notable alumni at a school and noticed there were a lot of them who were famous football players and some of them played for the same teams. In this instance, would it be better to provide the embedded link multiple times just for convenience so that the readers don’t have to scroll up and search for which other player also played for that team, or should I just follow the guidelines for links strictly? -- Uncomplicate ( talk) 14:31, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi again. I recently added details about an NBA player who was arrested a couple hours before his NBA game, but I wasn’t sure whether to put the details in professional career or personal life, since it occurred in the parking lot of where he was going to be playing and with another player. I put it in personal life since, even though it happened in the arena parking lot, it technically had nothing to do with the game, but an IP editor moved it. Does Wikipedia have guidelines to help direct editors for situations where one’s personal life interferes and is heavily connect with their work life? -- Uncomplicate ( talk) 21:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I was wondering how do I make a Wikipedia page from scratch? -- WikiLover245 ( talk) 16:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
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:
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!
