WikiCup 2021 May newsletter

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

• The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
• Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
• Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
• Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
• Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
• Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
• Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
• Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember 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 (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). 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.

DS 2021 Review Update

Dear Guerillero,

Thank you for participating in the recent discretionary sanctions community consultation. We are truly appreciative of the range of feedback we received and the high quality discussion which occurred during the process. We have now posted a summary of the feedback we've received and also a preview of some of what we expect to happen next. We hope that the second phase, a presentation of draft recommendations, will proceed on time in June or early July. You will be notified when this phase begins, unless you choose to to opt-out of future mailings by removing your name here.

AP3

You note the temptation to file AP3 grows by the day. I'd love to understand better what makes this tempting for you, in other words what would you be hoping it would accomplish? Obviously this is something that would get discussed more if a case request materializes but given just how hard an AP3 would be I'd love to start considering its potential value so I could view diffs to support such a request through that lens. Courtesy ping to Ched. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:39, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

IMO, the frequency of discord and temperature of political discussions on wiki are rising at an unacceptable rate. — Ched (talk) 16:52, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Also: re your drafting of AP2 - I didn't/don't envy anyone that chore - thank you for your work on a very difficult task. — Ched (talk) 19:42, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

@Ched and Barkeep49: Every few weeks we have the same frequent flyers who appear at AE and use it as a forum to yell at each other. AP isn't the only area where it happens, but it is one of the most frequent areas --In actu (Guerillero) ^{Parlez Moi} 03:20, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Indeed. (although I don't follow arb policy all that much.) I'd also suggest that WP:RS/N has a pretty steady influx of political discussion as well. — Ched (talk) 21:21, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
