As we approach the beginning of the wikicup 2025 I wish to bring attention to a few useful tools for the contest.

• Wikipedia:Good article review circles You get a review and review another in exchange, a very simple way to get atleast 40 points.
• Wikipedia:Former featured and good topics Picking up a topic and restoring it shouldn't take too long depending on what you pick.
• Wikipedia:Reward board Provides other incentives to produce quality content

While most May find this redundant I hope atleast one person benefits from any of these. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 11:22, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting these links. I've pinned this section for the duration of the 2025 WikiCup. Epicgenius (talk) 20:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I suppose only ITN entries that have featured in the "Recent death" section, and not in the main one, do count towards points, right?

I was almost about to submit the 2024 United Nations Biodiversity Conference, but then I remembered about this rule... Oltrepier (talk) 18:14, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier, if you've worked on an ITN entry significantly, you can claim points regardless of whether it appears as a bold link or in the recent deaths section. Reading it again, the rules were phrased opaquely, but they were meant to state that recent deaths are also eligible for ITN points, not that only recent deaths are eligible. I've fixed this. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:27, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius That's awesome news! Thank you for clarifying! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 19:31, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added my article to the application, you know where the tournament table is Spectra321578 (talk) 12:35, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, your submission is not eligible for points as it needs to have gone through the WP:FAC process - in fact, your submission is currently a draft. Epicgenius (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've already done this enough, added sources and so on. Spectra321578 (talk) 14:47, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, I'll have to wait a long time, hold me until Round 3 and then I'll be able to arrange everything at least a little bit Spectra321578 (talk) 14:48, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to withdraw from the wikicup. DWF91 (talk) 07:01, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have withdrawn you. Thanks for your contributions. Epicgenius (talk) 08:29, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hold me until the 3rd round, then to the finals and then we'll see. Spectra321578 (talk) 13:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think spectra321578 understands english well, Epicgenius, he keeps butting in everywhere with incomprehensible sentences. DWF91 (talk) 13:19, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I offer you friendship, we can discuss everything in detail Spectra321578 (talk) 16:42, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Spectra321578, DWF91 has a valid concern. While your enthusiasm is appreciated, please stop interjecting in conversations that you aren't a part of. This section does not concern you, and we were not talking about removing you from the contest. However, please note that if I receive further complaints about your behavior, I will have to remove you from the contest anyway. Epicgenius (talk) 21:07, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK Spectra321578 (talk) 06:39, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would ask you to hold me until the final to gain time, I continue to take part this year Spectra321578 (talk) 06:40, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to see anywhere what participants gain points for in round 1, ie their submissions? Or are these wiped and gone forever when a new round starts? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:11, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's 2025, we don't say "query" anymore Bit of a long way to do it, but if you go to any year's archive, everyone's submissions page stays up. From there you can go into the history and find the revision prior to when it's wiped for the new round. See this example: HickoryOughtShirt?4's Round 1 is visible in this revision right before Epicgenius clears it for Round 2. Panini! • 🥪 14:19, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In my head 1969 has been on repeat for at least 50 years. Thanks Panini! Gog the Mild (talk) 16:54, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do I have to be a nominater and major contributor to an RD in ITN for points, or can someone else have nominated it but I still do substantial work? History6042😊 (Contact me) 13:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial work is all that is required. Although with how ITN works, we do require it to be substantial work, not simply drive-by updating things. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Vilenski, thank you, for example, please see the page Stuart Young (politician), if it passes ITN could I get points for it? History6042😊 (Contact me) 20:38, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please change my flag icon to {{flagicon|Vancouver}} . Thank you in advance. Yue🌙 07:03, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
