WikiCup 2022 November newsletter

The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The 2022 champion is

• Bloom6132 (1732), who specialised in "In the news" items and DYKs, and who has reached the final round of the Cup for the past three years. Next was
• BennyOnTheLoose (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by
• Muboshgu (1082), an "In the news" contributor, a seasoned contestant who first took part in the Cup ten years ago. Other finalists were
• Sammi Brie (930), who scored with a featured article, good articles and DYKs on TV and radio stations,
• Kavyansh.Singh (370), who created various articles on famous Americans, including an FA on Louis H. Bean, famed for his prediction of election outcomes. Next was
• PCN02WPS (292), who scored with good articles and DYKs on sporting and other topics and

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.

• Lee Vilenski wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round.
• Kavyansh.Singh wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
• Adam Cuerden wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.
• Z1720 wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.
• Epicgenius wins the good article prize, for 32 GAs in round 1.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed on the discussion page. You are invited to sign up to take part in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners and finalists, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Query

Hello, Spiderone,

I have a question for you. I was wondering about the AFD for House of Maiduniya that you labeled a hoax article. I was wondering how you came to the conclusion that the sources were fake. Did you do a search to see whether or not these reference books exist? I'm not doubting your conclusion, I just wanted to know what your process was because some of thse AFDs (like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muallimawa) are still open and haven't been closed. From a very superficial examination, the article seems well-sourced (almost refspam) but if you did a citation search and found that these books don't exist, that's a blatant hoax alright. Thanks for any clarification you can provide. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:35, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Liz for me, the biggest concern is that, not only do the titles for the books themselves yield no meaningful hits, the supposed publishing houses don't either. Muallimawa contains so many references to books that don't seem to have ever existed. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 23:34, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, that's the information I was looking for. I'm sure that this was time-consuming. Thank you for doing your due diligence.

I think I just deleted the remainder of the articles you brought to AFD. There sure were quite a lot of them. There wasn't much participation in most of these discussions so they were closed as Soft Deletions. I don't know if any editor will request their restoration at REFUND but since the primary editors were sockpuppets, they would receive a certain level of scrutiny if they look to restore these pages. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:32, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. No issue with the soft deletions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:13, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
