Why do you change the date formatting in the refs? I've noticed you've done that a few times before, asking because the use mdy dates template should automatically take care of that no? Unless I'm missing something and it doesn't on some platforms? Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:32, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, didn't realize the article had that template on it. I just do it through muscle memory I guess. When I go to make any tweaks and see that formatting, it kinda becomes like a visually obvious thing to fix so I just tweak it, I suppose. Soulbust (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Just to keep you in the loop, compiling Zenyatta's reception, and will likely flesh out Bastion more to B class at least before it goes live. Still trying to keep all the characters for the most part structurally the same.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:59, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since I'm guessing you're reading these, order of operations on my end is to bulk up that I've got out now, then move onto Roadhog, Lifeweaver, and Genji. After those, the possibles are Baptiste, Sojourn, Reaper (Cukie wants to do this one herself), and Sigma in descending order. Juno may also work but her sourcing is kinda light I fear.

The remaining ones are likely not happening: Winston and Echo have zilch for commentary unless I've missed something, Torb has a *start* but almost all of it is Valnet and doesn't work, even the Daily Dot list is just a trivia bit. Illari's discussions are strictly about how she doesn't have lore. And Mauga, Venture and Hazard never really seemed to get enough rounded discussion, which is sad because I was hoping there was some cultural conversation about Mauga at least.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:32, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see OW characters get some fleshed out articles and thanks for doing a lot of that work. I recall a year or two ago during AfD discussions others telling me most of them wouldn't be able to sustain their own articles, so definitely nice to see you working on the articles. Haven't had that much energy (or maybe just time) myself to work or start VG-related things in a while, honestly.

IIRC, Reaper was one I mentioned to you as one I figured could have his own. Based on how popular he is, I thought there was bound to be sourcing there for him. I'd probably want to assist on that one, as well as Genji's.

I think Venture is plausible if there is some discussion there on them being non-binary. But yeah probably understandable that the newer OW2 characters generally don't have much literature/sourcing written about them.

Will help out where I can. Soulbust (talk) 18:39, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reaper surprisingly is still kinda on the weaker end, but what he has are three full articles for himself, which is not the best but we can easily argue it's viable for size split with the fact they're all clearly sigcov. There's a 4th reference, but it's an unpublished paper that was cited by a published work, so hoping that can squeak through. Cukie Gherkin's really got her heart set on doing that one, so if you want to lend a hand would probably jump in only after it goes live as a formality.

Venture was surprising; there was some commentary about them being nonbinary, but it fizzled fast. I figured there's at least be some *design* commentary but that didn't seem to pop up either. Retrospectives later on may manifest something for them down the road.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:45, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's more than alright about Reaper. I figure it will be a situation like Rein or Zen, where I'll just be doing some small edits. And I think so too about Venture. Perhaps the other OW2 characters in general will get some retrospectives that prove useful for making articles about them, but I would probablyyyy bet on Venture as the most likely to attract that.

That's disheartening for sure. Might have to be assessed for WP:VG/RS where I hope it can at least be tagged as situationally reliable for actual esports articles (I also see pre-2019 seems to be fine for SI in general). I have used ESI and On SI on esports (and traditional sports) articles. I am aware On SI was a spinoff of the main website, but figured it was just for more focused pieces.

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi there. Thanks for creating GOAT (sports culture). Editors should refer to some of those philosophical points when placing GOAT claims in bios.

I saw List of sports figures considered the greatest. You may or may not have been aware of the prior deletions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ice hockey players considered the greatest of all time and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of association football players considered the greatest of all time. But Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films considered the best (4th nomination) was a keep (and multiple times). Consider tightening the inclusion criteria. —Bagumba (talk) 10:39, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba: Yeah the list was semi-inspired by the List of films considered the best that you mentioned there. I was unaware of the deletion discussions for the ice hockey and soccer-specific lists though. I've been meaning to expand the broader GOAT athletes list to add context/prose more or less like how the films list is set up, but just have had a mixture of offline responsibilities + other areas on Wikipedia have had my attention during the past month. I know that contextual prose can be added though, so I will be trying to lock in on that soon.

I think the inclusion criteria is probably fine being set where I've started up the list at (which is including sportswriters' opinions of an athlete being the singular greatest of all time, as opposed to one of. I did start an inclusion criteria/suitability discussion over on the talk page for the main GOAT article, and would definitely appreciate other editors to chime in and add their thoughts about that. Soulbust (talk) 10:54, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I didn't realize it was split, and didn't think to look at that talk page. Actually, a concept page like GOAT (sports culture) might be best to minimalize the WP:EXAMPLEFARM even further. The film page seems to survive because it's limited to prominent surveys, not just a few average Joes (perhaps minority) opinion. Good luck. —Bagumba (talk) 11:07, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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!

	The Original Barnstar
	I honestly don't give these often so not sure which one is relevant. Good job on Mikayla Raines. CNMall41 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41: Hi, thank you! Honestly I don't think barnstars get used/given out as much anymore, or maybe I just haven't recalled that being the case, but in any case the original one will always be relevant.

The third round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 June. This round was again competitive, with three contestants scoring more than 1,000 round points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,314 round points, mostly from articles about athletes and politicians, including 20 good articles and 48 did you know articles
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,197 round points, mostly from military history articles, including 9 featured topic articles, two featured articles, and four good articles
• Sammi Brie (submissions) with 1,055 round points, mostly from television station articles, including 27 good articles and 9 good topic articles

Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for round 3 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 4 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 1 featured picture, 9 featured-topic articles, 149 good articles, 27 good-topic articles, and more than 90 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 18 In the News articles, and they have conducted more than 200 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4. 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.

Hi Soulbust, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted the following articles for points:

• Rae Lil Black - Did You Know
• Scott King (basketball) - Did You Know
• Mikayla Raines - In the News

Typically, you can claim points for these articles within 2 weeks of promotion or Main Page appearance, except at the end of a round, when submissions should be claimed before the end of the round. You claimed points for these articles on June 29, but Round 3 ended on June 28. However, since you may have not been aware of this, you may claim points for these articles during Round 4 (except for Rae Lil Black, which appeared on DYK 18 days ago and is unfortunately outside the 2-week time limit). Epicgenius (talk) 16:46, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of that really, yeah. If things within a 2-week limit can be applied for Round 4, wouldn't it make more sense to just have those points be retroactively applied to round 3 (where they belong) though if I claimed them within a day of the round ending, and still before the next round began? Soulbust (talk) 17:13, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: forgot to ping, sorry. Soulbust (talk) 17:16, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, and we usually would count these points in Round 3. Since you might not have been aware of the requirement to submit points for a given round before the end of the round, I'm giving you an opportunity to have these counted in Round 4, where you could potentially accumulate more round points and - if you score enough round points - get the opportunity to earn tournament points. If you would like to have these counted in Round 3 instead, that's fine, but you would not be able to claim them in Round 4, nor would you be scoring any tournament points. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:23, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Yeah just seems like the right/logical thing to do to have them count for round 3. I don't know, it makes more sense for my brain that way given the dates of when they appeared on DYK/ITN. I wasn't thinking of trying to have them also count for round 4. I'll try to remember to update the submissions page before the end of the next round next time. Soulbust (talk) 17:28, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I've updated the Round 3 tables accordingly. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:42, 30 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).

Hey, I noticed you took it upon yourself to gather some sources for Apex Legends characters. I independently did so as well, and did a deep dive into the cast, finding a lot of what I believe are notable characters. Here is where I collected the sources:

• User:Cukie Gherkin/Ash
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Bangalore
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Bloodhound
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Catalyst
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Gibraltar
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Horizon
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Lifeline
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Loba
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Revenant
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Seer
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Valkyrie
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Vantage
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Wattson
• User:Cukie Gherkin/Wraith

There are also some others I think have a chance of being notable but haven't researched, like Fuse and Newscastle. I thought I'd let you know despite your busy schedule, figuring you may enjoy working on one or more of these articles. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 11:46, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Your good article nomination of the article Mind the Game has been placed on hold, as the article needs some changes. See the review page for more information. If these are addressed within 7 days, the nomination will pass; otherwise, it may fail.

The first round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As some of you may have noticed, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP. This point increase has been retroactively applied to all good article reviews for which competitors have claimed points in this round. Peer reviews, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 1 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 300 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Bgsu98 (submissions) with 1,467 round points, largely gained from 1 featured article, 5 featured lists, 15 good articles, and 42 FAC and GAN reviews;
• Olliefant (submissions) with 1,246 round points, largely from 4 featured lists, 9 good articles, 2 featured topic articles, 4 did you know articles, and 75 FAC and GAN reviews;
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, largely from 3 featured articles, 6 good articles, and 5 did you know articles;
• MCE89 (submissions) with 848 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 32 FAC and GAN reviews; and
• Rollinginhisgrave (submissions) with 838 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 14 FAC, GAN, and peer reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 7 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 168 good articles, 13 good-topic articles and more than 50 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 14 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 700 reviews. The tournament points table will be updated within the next few days.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 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!
