Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today and all article creators, expanders and improvers are welcome to take part. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page. We are relaxing the rule that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2020 will count; now to be eligible for points in the competition, you must have completed significant work on the content at some time! Any questions on the rules or on anything else connected to the Cup should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. Good luck!

Howdy, I am looking for a mentor to help me improve my Saving Light article so it could become a featured article. It had previously undergone fairly large edits (26,000 bytes to 41,000 bytes) and to have someone go over it, as well as the entire article, to make sure it is ready to become a Featured article candidate. The article had also undergone four previous featured article nominations, two failed because not enough people voted and the other two failed because the article wasn't ready. I'm not totally sure if you would like to, or even could, help me with the article, but if you can, that would be great. If not, then please ping me so I can just ask another mentor.

Content
Hi PresN, I don't understand your recent edit here. It looks like you removed links to a number of new articles that were created between Dec 26, 2019 and Dec 31, 2019 and you replaced many of them with old articles. For example Pochi and Nyaa (created by Amitie 10g on Dec 26, 2019), Music of Grim Fandango (created by Al83tito on Dec 31, 2019), etc. were deleted in your 13 Jan 2020 edit. Meanwhile ESL Pro League which seems to have been created by Valoem on 17 February 2018 and Hadouken which was created by Zxcvbnm on 24 March 2010 and has been stable since 27 June 2010 were added into the New article announcements for December 2019. I've set my account up with a time offset of +00:00 which I believe defaults to the server time but it also appears that articles like All Ghillied Up (recreated by Spy-cicle at 23:06 , 28 December 2019), Ghoul Panic (created by Namcokid47 at 20:24, 29 December 2019), and Spirit Hunter: Death Mark (created by Alexandra IDV at 11:02, 30 December 2019) seem to have been changed from Dec 28 to Dec 29, Dec 29 to Dec 30, and Dec 30 to Dec 31 respectively. Was that an error or have the rules for New Article Announcements changed?
I've been trying to basically rely on your edits quarterly so that I can report NAAs for the WP:VG Newsletter, and that often means manually adding articles from AlexNewArtBot's "VideogamesSearchResult" updates to close the quarter. But it seems like I may be creating more problems than help. I have always been a little unsure about dating NAAs when the article is unstable (e.g. when the first edit in an article's history is a redirect, when an old article without proper sourcing is redirected and then later revived with good sources, etc.), but isn't the basic rule that New article announcements for December 2019 is supposed to announce newly created articles like "Pochi and Nyaa" and "Music of Grim Fandango" on the day they were created? I assume I'm missing some kind of subtlety here. Does a "new article" only count when there is some internal action (e.g some behind-the-scenes official recognition of the article's existance by the encyclopedia like a shift from draftspace to mainspace or from unassessed to assessed or something) that makes the article an "official" article? How does the semi-automated tool you're using work? -Thibbs (talk) 14:17, 13 January 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-01-13T14:17:00.000Z","author":"Thibbs","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Thibbs-2020-01-13T14:17:00.000Z-New_rules_for_the_New_Article_Announcements?","replies":["c-PresN-2020-01-13T16:12:00.000Z-Thibbs-2020-01-13T14:17:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hello! Apologies for the random message. I was thinking about nominating the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King for a FAC sometime this year, but I have never done one for a video game article. I am more much familiar with music and television articles in the FAC space.
After looking through the FAC mentoring page, I noticed your inclusion on the list with a focus on video games. I was wondering (if you had the time) to look at the article to see if it would be prepared for a FAC sometime this year. I believe that I have found all of the coverage for this particular game. My biggest concern is that the "Development and release" section is rather small, simply because information about these aspects of the game are relatively small.
Again, apologies for the message. Hope you are having a great week so far!

'"UNESCO data (Ref; criteria)" is hard to parse- it's doing too much for a column header, and also not enough. I'd go with just "UNESCO data", and add a footnote (with {{efn}}) to explain that it has both the UNESCO reference id and the criteria that it fulfills; you need more than a couple words for that, and a footnote gives you all the space you need while not overfocusing a top-of-table note on a single column.'

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

While working in Devil May Cry 4 I found there was a lot of content about its updated form released about five years later (Special Edition) for new consoles. As a result, I worked in a sandbox to see if it has potential.Here you can read the sandbox. I'm not sure if it's okay if Special Edition could have its own article but I think it might be the best at least for the vanilla one. I asked in the project and discord but no responses yet.

Could you help me look at the Start articles, and identify how many are actual Starts? From my reading of the criteria, most of them are actually C level already, because almost all of them have half a dozen references or more, and nearly all are correctly formatted and in generally an encyclopedic tone. “Content gaps” is the first thing a C article is listed as having, and no reliable sources is the first thing a Start-level article is listed as having, so that would make most of our Starts actually C’s! I would do it myself, but I’d feel better if someone with more “authority” altered a bunch of their level statuses. Thoughts? Hope you are well!

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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 rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also 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. 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).

This is not related to the above request I promise! It’s long overdue.
If you have the time at some point, could you look at the 8 articles that have no title in a reference? After that, I think every other cleanup tag is “me addressable”, and it would greatly take down the number of tags.

Someone has put cleanup tags on the legacy section for months, and wont produce the references they say will “fix” it. I say months is enough, and have removed them, with explanation on the talk page to either produce them, or don’t, but you cant just have cleanup tags on an FA forever and then withhold help, as the user appears to be doing.

It’s also a question of where to merge, into the main Dragon Quest article, or the list of dragon quest media, or a new article? I’m not sure either.
I also think we should create and “Early Square games” article and a “square Enix mobile exclusive” article. We need these kind of parent articles to merge the stubby article together into. They just aren’t notable enough on their own, but they could make one solid whole. See what I mean?

Hi, PresN. I am your reader and awaiting you Doom:-P
Well. I'm wondering that a plenty of FAs/GAs you (and many other WPVG veterans) have contributed to, but just a few of DYKs have got. In contrast, in my wiki, most of senior editors wrote dozens of DYKs, but only promoted several FAs/GAs (which also expanded in their personal sandboxes, and published as new articles for DYK nominee). As you know, DYK is not a high bar - even Start-Class articles can be successful nominated - and a GA absolutely meet a DYK's requirements (at least in content). That is to say, you seasoned editors could have nominated many of your FAs/FLs/GAs to DYKs, but I found nobody did it.
So my question is, why seasoned editors lack of the motivation? For instance, considered DYK as newcomers' training ground?--Lopullinen 15:25, 22 June 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-22T15:25:00.000Z","author":"Lopullinen","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Lopullinen-2020-06-22T15:25:00.000Z-A_question","replies":["c-PresN-2020-06-22T16:31:00.000Z-Lopullinen-2020-06-22T15:25:00.000Z"]}}-->
