		The Original Barnstar
		Thank you for your recent Olympics expansions, particularly on old athletes. They are greatly appreciated. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:27, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11 Omg! I'm so touched, thank you so much! I truly do appreciate it. :) Arconning (talk) 15:29, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at a few of your expansions, I came across some decent potential DYKs – do you intend on nominating any of Mohamed Lazhari (... that Mohamed Lazhari was the first Algerian Olympian?), Ahmed Hamada (... that Ahmed Hamada was part of the first Bahrain Olympics team and later became the first Bahraini medalist at the Asian Games?), Sangay Tenzin (... that Sangay Tenzin was the first Olympic swimmer for Bhutan?), Golekane Mosveu (... that mine labourer Golekane Mosveu became an Olympic runner after someone noticed him for his fitness?), Verona Marjanović (could probably do something about her leaving to train while bullets were being fired), Charles Champaud (... that Swiss gymnast Charles Champaud also introduced football to the capital of Bulgaria?), Isoup Ganthy (... that Isoup Ganthy, part of Cambodia's first Olympic team, later died in prison after being accused of working to overthrow the country?), David Njitock (... that David Njitock was Cameroon's first Olympian?), William Taramai (... that William Taramai was the first Olympic flag bearer for the Cook Islands?) or Jorge Perry (... that Jorge Perry, the first Colombian Olympian, fainted during his participation?)? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:54, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11 Of course! Thank you so much for the potential hooks, I'm quite caught up on further editing so I'll probably nominate them later... Arconning (talk) 17:00, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some other possible DYK hooks (I love when foreign Olympians appear on DYK ): ... that Frankenstein competed at the Olympics? / ... that Charles Winckler was selected to the Olympics in swimming, track and field, and won a gold medal in tug of war? / ... that Bernardo de la Guardia was Costa Rica's first Olympian? (while, like the message below said, "first" hooks are discouraged – if its clearly verifiable then it is usually acceptable) / ... that Alberto Torres was the Dominican Republic's first Olympian? / ... that Joseph M'Bouroukounda was Gabon's first Olympian? / ... that runner Alberto Jarrín once defeated a train? / if you get it to GA: ... that 1908 Olympian Louis Baillon remains the only person from the Falkland Islands to ever win a gold medal? / ... that Christina Næss is the only Paralympic gold medalist for the Faroe Islands?

Hey there! Thanks for contributing to DYK. I've noticed that, recently, you have proposed several DYK hooks that involve a "first" claim (for example, Sangay Tenzin being Bhutan's first Olympic swimmer). Per recent changes to WP:DYKHOOK and recent discussions at DYK, superlative hooks such as "first" claims are now discouraged at DYK as they are hard to prove. While they are not outright prohibited, DYK now encourages other hook options whenever possible. With this in mind, will you be able to propose non-"first" hooks for your nominations such as Tenzin and Edness? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:49, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. 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 a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).
