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:

• Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
• Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
• Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
• MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
• Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

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!

Hi Nizil,

I noticed the lack of Gujarati films at List of Indian film series Considering the long history of Gujarati cinema I should be enough out there to expand the list.

Hope you can help, cheers.

Well I tried to expand the Gujarati film series list in past but there is no source to find such films. There are few films remade multiple times but I am not sure if they belong here as producers differ. If I ever found such films, I will add for sure. - Nizil (talk) 18:17, 9 May 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240509181700","author":"Nizil Shah","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Nizil_Shah-20240509181700-Gotitbro-20240509171500","replies":["c-Gotitbro-20240509200600-Nizil_Shah-20240509181700"],"displayName":"Nizil"}}-->

Hello Mr. Nizil,

Since you know a lot about Gujarati cinema, would you happen to have an idea where one could find an official version for these Gujarati government awards lists that could be used as a reference here on WP? I haven't been able to find anything with my own web searches. 111.94.147.174 (talk) 12:13, 31 August 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240831121300","author":"111.94.147.174","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-111.94.147.174-20240831121300-Gujarati_government_film_awards","replies":["c-Nizil_Shah-20240901110900-111.94.147.174-20240831121300"]}}-->

I could not find any online sources. Here some news share some info. Gujarat Govt. publishes Gujarat magazine in English and Gujarati which covers all activities of Govt. So this also covers news about awards ceremony but may not show complete awardees list. For example, here (16-Mar-2024) publication has info on awards of 2020-2022 on second last page. May be more information can be found on earlier issues. Or directly contacting Govt. Office could be helpful.

Thank you sir. It's too bad I'm not in India so I can't go looking for old issues in a library. Maybe I'll try contacting the offices directly but I'm not sure because I have a feeling it'll ba a waste of time. I think only if the first person who sees the message happens to care a lot about how well Gujarati culture is represented on English WP would something come from it and I think that's a low chance with the bureaucracy.

Also sorry about that stupid typo I made before. 125.26.51.245 (talk) 14:18, 1 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240901141800","author":"125.26.51.245","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-125.26.51.245-20240901141800-Nizil_Shah-20240901110900","replies":["c-Nizil_Shah-20240901144600-125.26.51.245-20240901141800"]}}-->

I think we can find at least few years of information in news, Gujarat issues available online, and elsewhere. I agree that contacting Govt. Office might not be fruitful. I will try to get the year lists, if possible. The blog owner which you had suggested has some access to list. He/she might help if an be contacted in some way. I generally focus on the films for which I already have some kind of solid information (and reliable source as per WP:RS). And there are too many films/film lists to work with. So generally focus on them. I also work on a lot of other topics related to Gujarat and Gujarati too (and on Gujarati Wikipedia too). You can go ahead with film articles for which there are references and if we can find award references, they can be added later. Feel free to ask for help.

Well if there was contact information for the blog owner I'd gladly get in touch and ask them but I couldn't find anything on the site and it hasn't been updated since 2018 as far as I can tell, so who knows what's become of this person. I'm more interested in yesteryears than current. It's always great when people post rare information but it's less great if they don't give their source because they want others to marvel how special they are to have this knowledge. I think this information is probably legit but it'd be so much easier if they had mentioned where it's taken from. This is why I like WP policy of clear sources and credit. 125.26.51.245 (talk) 15:30, 1 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240901153000","author":"125.26.51.245","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-125.26.51.245-20240901153000-Nizil_Shah-20240901144600","replies":[]}}-->

The Original Barnstar

Excellent work writing about cyclones in the north Indian Ocean! I saw you adding information to a few older seasons, and I also saw you working on the article for Cyclone Asna. I've been editing Wikipedia long enough to know how important the storms in that basin are, and how few editors usually work on them, so sincerest thanks for your contributions. Keep up the great work. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:57, 8 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240908185700","author":"Hurricanehink","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Hurricanehink-20240908185700-A_barnstar_for_you!","replies":["c-Nizil_Shah-20240908191300-Hurricanehink-20240908185700"]}}-->

Thank you for your kind words and the barnstar! I have focused on cyclone articles that have affected Gujarat, as it is a region I am particularly interested in. I try to create informative and detailed articles on cyclones as a way to document the history of these cyclones. Unfortunately, public interest often wanes as cyclones weaken.

Absolutely! I've found that it can be a little lonely editing at times, wondering if anyone notices your work, so I wanted to make sure your work is noticed. I love reading and researching about cyclones that affect particular areas, so I totally get where you're coming from. I recently worked on List of California hurricanes (as that is where I live), and that was an enjoyable project to work on. In fact, there could totally be an equivalent article for List of Gujarat tropical cyclones. There is Tropical cyclones in India, but that focuses on India as a whole, and it's a huge country. I'd say, given Gujarat's size and importance, there is probably a lot of research on Gujarat-specific cyclones, such as climatology, or the deadliest cyclones to affect the state. I'm aware of the 1998 Gujarat cyclone, which killed more than a thousand people, but my knowledge of older cyclones is limited. And that's where it's useful having someone focus on a particular region - you never know what you might find! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240908193300","author":"Hurricanehink","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Hurricanehink-20240908193300-Nizil_Shah-20240908191300","replies":["c-Nizil_Shah-20240910070100-Hurricanehink-20240908193300"]}}-->

Thank you for your encouragement. I will continue to contribute to cyclone articles. I sometimes find the meteorological processes behind cyclone a bit challenging to understand. Could you please verify the accuracy of the meteorological history and infobox data for Cyclone Asna?

Good job with Asna. The met history looks pretty thorough for its origins, it's just out of order. You have the monsoon part of its origins at the end, but that should be at the beginning. There will be a better resource once the IMD releases its preliminary report. We need a source confirming the same low on 18 August near Bangladesh was the one that developed into Asna. Also, where was Asna located when the IMD classified as a cyclonic storm? Was it over land, or over water? Was there a reason the storm moved the way it did? (usually it's a ridge) How strong was the storm at its peak? And when did it dissipate? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 07:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240910070900","author":"Hurricanehink","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Hurricanehink-20240910070900-Nizil_Shah-20240910070100","replies":[]}}-->
