Pascal Dupuis
[edit]Hiya! I see you have written most of the Penguins content for Pascal Dupuis and I was wondering whether you'd like to be a co-nominator when I finish getting it up to GA status and nominating it. Cheers! Kline • talk • contribs 15:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Kline Sure! Thanks very much for asking. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:14, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- @HickoryOughtShirt?4 I have nominated it for GA status. Wanted to give you notice and a thank you for writing all that Penguins content! I really appreciate it. Cheers! Kline • talk • contribs 04:10, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Kline, Thanks again for co-nominating me! It's always very cool to me to see how improved the article has become since it was first edited. I would strongly recommend clicking the "fix dead link" button in the view history tab because the NHL.com website no longer goes past 2014. Therefore, you may find a few dead links that were working when it was originally edited. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- @HickoryOughtShirt?4 I didn't even know that button existed, thanks! I used IABot without going thru that so knowing that shortcut will be helpful. I got thrown a timeout error, maybe you can take a gander at it? Kline • talk • contribs 22:20, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Kline, No worries! I have gotten that before too. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Kline, I also kept getting an error but I clicked through most of the links and I haven't found any dead ones without an archived link so I think you're OK. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:04, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Kline, do you plan on nominating this article for DYK once it passes? I would recommend you do. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @HickoryOughtShirt?4 I might, not fully sure yet. Kline • talk • contribs 19:08, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!
[edit]Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 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 the judges will set up your submissions page 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 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be 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). 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.

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
