GANs

Hi History6042, first I want to thank you for working in the WP:PACKERS project. Its great to get another editor there. One request moving forward though, can you please take the comments I make on reviews and start incorporating them into your next article. This is one of the ways that BeanieFan11 has been able to produce so many easily reviewed articles. Some general takeaways:

• When clipping articles at Newspapers.com, please include the full headline and article.
• The page number for Newspapers.com is the actual page number printed on the newspaper itself, not the number Newspapers.com assigns it.
• Please make sure to include all relevant details from Newspapers.com, including author and any relevant news wire agencies (AP, UPI, etc)
• Please make sure to read your article once after you feel it is "finished". Look for spelling mistakes, linking issues, capitalization, etc. GAN isn't a place for a peer review.

Keep up the good work! Thanks, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:06, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Okay, I will do this now thank you. History6042😊 (Contact me) 20:14, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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!

Peer review QPQ

Hello @History6042, I wanted to reach out and see if you were willing to do a quid-pro-quo of sorts and peer review my article (Lope Martín) in exchange for a review of Battle of 42nd Street. I only ask because Lope Martin has gone ~2.5 months without review. If not, I completely understand. Thank you and let me know. Kimikel (talk) 01:10, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

@Kimikel, deal, I'll do it, thanks. History6042😊 (Contact me) 01:10, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you. I'll have a review done within the next couple days at the latest. Kimikel (talk) 01:21, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey @History6042, I noticed you're active at FLC, and you're familiar with Olympics articles. I was wondering if you could possibly review my current FLC? I would be heavily indebted, so I would happily review multiple of your upcoming GAs in return. It's the last article I have to get to standard to make it a good topic. IAWW (talk) 22:17, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Absolutely, @It is a wonderful world. History6042😊 (Contact me) 22:25, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Gheorghe Plagino

On 16 July 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gheorghe Plagino, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that there was a 24-year gap between the first Romanian Olympian and the next? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gheorghe Plagino. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Gheorghe Plagino), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
