The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.
The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions), HaEr48 (submissions), Harrias (submissions) and Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Valereee, thank you so much for jumping in. I am afraid I am over my head and do not know what to do to help this along...or if I even can. When I look at the "other" Dede Wilson, it seems to me that I have as much if not more info than she that would qualify me for a page. But maybe I am wrong. This is HER: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dede_Wilson
I am trying to differentiate me from her, since the GOOGLE knowledge panel was messed up for so many years.
Can you tell me what to do next? I hosted 2 of my own PBS cooking shows, have published over 15 books (major publisher), non self-published and have been a spokesperson for major brands like KitchenAid.
I guess the first thing is to determine whether I am important enough to have a page, right?
Any help much appreciated and I do need you to be explicit because I find this place majorly confusing LOL

Hello. It’s Doggy54321 again. Long story short, the page Draft:Confetti (Little Mix album) just got submitted to AfC by myself. The mainspace equivalent article, Confetti (Little Mix album) is a redirect and is admin-protected until tonight. My friend User:DarkGlow is a draft accepter (or whatever we call that), but not a page mover. They have offered to rapidly accept the draft, since it should be on the mainspace as it’s notable, but they aren’t a page mover and can’t delete the main page. The page is also admin protected so they can’t edit.
Could you please remove page protection of Confetti (Little Mix album) and then delete the article? I don’t need anything else, just for you to delete the page. The page was protected because editors kept adding content back, and now that the page is needed for something, it’s not really helpful to have the page admin-protected. I know that you’re online, and you have been helpful in the past, so I thought I’d ask you.
If you could also do this ASAP, that would be really helpful as it would allow for DarkGlow to accept the draft, and the article would be in the mainspace immediately.
Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 18:34, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Dear administrator, I have been contributing arduously to this page René Guénon, adding many sources and authors to the influenced section, it took me many hours to do it.

Hello! I've published The Roxy (Portland, Oregon) and nominated for Good article, on the off chance you're interested in reviewing. Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:34, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello,
I need your help for the René Guénon article. I'm more used to Wikipedia in French than in English. As indicated by a banner, the article has a very serious problem: it is original work (except the biography which I improved) with no secondary sources. I wrote much of the article on this author in French and I have a large number of reliable secondary sources, mostly academic. I'm currently blocked by a contributor and I don't want to get into a "Edit warring type fight".
This contributor writes summaries without secondary sources and tells me readers need to make up their own mind! He has already eliminated my contributions full of recyclable secondary sources. As I told him that secondary sources were needed, he only mentioned P. Geay (which he does not even quote). I know P. Geay: I read his book "Hermes betrayed" which is his doctoral thesis but which only deals with the late Christian mystics and not on Guénon. I was subscribed to his review "The Rule of Abraham" which was edited confidentially and which is no longer published because the number of readers was too low. This review only published very specific articles on symbolism but not on Guénon in general and therefore cannot be used for an article on Guénon.
P. Geay is someone for whom I have sympathy, but he is a fanatic reader of Guénon who wrote explicitly that one must believe Guénon word for word: some have rejected his review as inadmissible for wikipedia (see the talk page).
Although I am an admirer of Guénon, I do not want to write an article about him on wikipedia from the point of view of a thurifer. Could you remind him of the wikipedia rules and ask him to stop blocking my changes? His arguments: I don't like what you write, readers must make up their minds by reading Guénon themselves. In addition, he does not provide any secondary source, he wishes to refer to an author who is not admissible according to wikipedia criteria.
I ask you to bring him to his senses so as not to fall into an editing war knowing that he has no solution to solve the problem of the article according to the rules of wikipedia.
Thanks a lot,
best wishes, Fabien Gatti (talk) 12:33, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Valereee, I wanted to bring this to your attention here. I had posted a comment to IHateAccounts regarding civility and a comment they made to me that I think was questionable [[1]]. In reply they blanked the comment from their talk page (allowed) but included the edit comment, " Springee (talk) remove what appears to be fairly obvious trolling, " [[2]]. Since creating an account (and even prior as an IP editor) the tone of IHA has been needlessly hostile. Would you mind reminding the editor that WP:CIVIL is not optional? Thank you. Springee (talk) 18:51, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Valereee, I saw you restored the talk page comments. Thank you. I think these also should be restored for similar reasons [[5]] and here [[6]]. Springee (talk) 20:32, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
[7] this was definitely trolling, and I want Springee to come nowhere near my talk page any more. IHateAccounts (talk) 16:14, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Dear Valeree,
I was sorry to see an original page I uploaded, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahni_Ghorashi, so mangled by 3rd parties. Mahni just came the other evening and gave an amazing talk with Steve Blank and Laura Andreessen in Tech. I do also know he studied at Juilliard in NYC while in college! I don't know who's messing with his pages, and i'm sorry to see his page so destroyed, but I do understand we have to protect the integrity of Wikipedia. I was wondering if I could propose the following edits and deletions to clean things up a bit. Also, the event site had some nice citations to his background as well if helpful. If not, I understand!! Please let me know your thoughts , as I hate to see my original post destroyed by whomever is doing this. Thank you!!

Hi. I was just changing the opening sentence to match that of Charles Graner's page, which states he was a "war criminal", who was convicted of the same crimes during the same scandal as Lynndie England. Besides the mismarking of the edit as minor, is there anything wrong with adding "war criminal" to the introduction paragraph of Lynndie England's page, considering what she was convicted of were war crimes. If not, does that mean the "war criminal" description should be removed from Charles Graner's page as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CalicoMo (talk • contribs)

Hi Valereee, thanks for the Bathis block. Just a note, when linking to AN discussions in block logs, it's helpful to use permalinks since the discussion may be hard to find after being archived. You can use Special:Permalink for this, and it works exactly like a normal wikilink. To link to a specific section of a specific revision, add a slash followed by the oldid, then a hash and the section name. I put an example on User talk:Bathis. — Wug·a·po·des 22:55, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

I understand the deletion for the first 2 deletions months ago, but calling a new article with national news attention to be “bullshit” and calling me “disruptive editing” is a problem. Might want to re-evaluate your place in the article like I did. (There was a reason I created the article. It was in draft space until it had 10 sources for the article. After that, I moved it too main space. IMO, the way you talked on the talk page, you would have nominated a the draft for deletion....which means you would have been too attached.).
