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). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Valereee, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2020).
Hello! As a Canadian I have always understood "the talk" as referring to the sex talk parents give to their children. (Five examples, several of which are book titles: "The Talk: What Your Kids Need to Hear from You About Sex", "OK—IT'S TIME FOR “THE TALK” Now that we understand our need to talk to our children about sex", "Facing "The Talk": Conversations with My Four Daughters About Sex", "More Than Just the Talk: Becoming Your Kids' Go-To Person About Sex", "Of course, they won;t brag about getting The Talk, but they will actually be proud of you if you honestly approach the issue ol sex in a conversational, nonjudgmental way.") I wonder if some kind of disambiguation will be necessary at some point? That said, I think your article is a great addition. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:59, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

FYI, this edit request seems to be a common cut and paste from at least one (unreliable) website. I'm not sure if I'm going overboard with WP:BLP and revdel'ing it, but I wont that particular one as there's been quite a few intermediate edits after. Do you know what is common (not necessarily written) practice on highly visible BLP talk pages? Or what is your M.O for this page? (I'm too lazy to query at WP:BLPN or WP:AN.) Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 12:39, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I looked around on some vegan related articles and see you have an academic interest and you are an experienced editor and have done good edits.
