Hey there, I saw that you were a frequent reviewer at Featured Lists. I have two lists that are pending and seem to be going nowhere. I thought Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships was about wrapped up, but it seems to be stuck in limbo. And I nominated European Figure Skating Championships a little while ago and have received only one set of feedback. Perhaps if you have a chance, you could take a look at them and let me know? Thank you so much! Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:54, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98: Can't say I'm too knowledgeable on the topic, but I'll try to see if I can give a review in the next few days . TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:11, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You’ll be more knowledgeable after reading them. 😉 Bgsu98 (Talk) 07:13, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: I left reviews on both nominations, I know it's not much, but I hope they're helpful. I suppose I'm slightly more knowledgeable, I typically just seem to have trouble reviewing articles that aren't entertainment-related. 😅 TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:22, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your input and your votes of support. Public interest in figure skating peaks every four years, and that peak is about one year away, so I want these flagship articles (Worlds, Europeans, U.S., and Canada) at featured status by then. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: Being completely honest, I don't think I ever realized it was such a huge deal outside of the Olympics. Regardless, don't hesitate to drop me a message if you ever need a review on any similar (or even completely different) lists!!! TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I really want to get The Amazing Race 1 to featured status, but that's not a list, and I think featured articles are actually more difficult to get passed. Anyway, Canada is ready to go once these two are processed, with Worlds probably very close. I'm working on U.S., and Estonia may need only a little bit more work. And Germany... God bless their record-keeping; they made sourcing so easy. 😉 Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:02, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98: I always tell people there's a reason why I only have one FAC 😅. I'm sure TAR1 could get there eventually. It looks rather decent on a first glance, but there is some room before it'd be at FA standards. I'll try to keep my eyes on the FLC page for those then, I'm usually there at least once every other day. TheDoctorWho (talk) 22:18, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

COLHEAD issues

Main page: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Archive 40 § Episode table/part

Hey TDW. Continuing on the above discussion on how {{Episode table/part}} template is apparently an accessibility issue per MOS:COLHEAD, I'm wondering how |ShortSummary= in {{Episode list}} does not cause the same accessibility issue. Does you know anyone with COLHEAD knowledge that would understand this? -- Alex_21 TALK 06:56, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MPGuy2824 and PresN: were the two to first bring it up to me an FLC of mine. If anyone can tell us if it's an issue, it's likely one of them? TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:08, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wonderful, thanks for pinging them. To give context, both the /part template and ShortSummary parameter can be seen at Doctor Who series 14#Episodes. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:30, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So. In a technical, specific sense, that kind of "it's a new row that doesn't correspond to any of the column headers" isn't correct. So, not 100% accessible. That said, however, when you dig into it, "accessibility", even on-wiki, is nowhere near 100%, so there are compromises when it comes to "still very usable by humans even if it doesn't meet the spec". In this case, even though the summary row doesn't correspond with any of the column headers, it isn't really any harder for screen-reader users to understand than it is for sighted-users. So it's not a big deal. So, even FLC, which is much further ahead than the rest of wiki for enforcing this stuff, doesn't try to forbid this kind of thing description field. Pseudo-column headers, despite looking similar, are much worse, because they're not just contextual to the previous row like this case but instead are a context for every row thereafter and there's no programmatic way to carry that context through. Tl;dr you're fine. --PresN 19:23, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy ping @Alex 21: to the above response just in case they're not watching/subscribed. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:56, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I saw it, thanks. Gonna see if I can change the two types of row-spanning columns into the same non-header format. -- Alex_21 TALK 06:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully it works out! It'd definitely be nice to keep something closer to the /part format. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:07, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
