About my Topic ban

Hello! This may be a weird (and probably embarrassing) question, but is my topic ban over? Six months after October 12 is April 12, right? I have got zero notifications about my topic ban after that. Anyway, if I was wrong, and it was actually the wrong date, don't wait to tell me! 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 11:38, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey TheNuggeteer, good to hear from you. It appears that your topic ban ended on April 5 as the ANI discussion was closed on October 5. I've gone ahead and removed you from the editing restrictions list. (Daniel, since you enacted the topic ban, could you chime in on any procedural things that need to be done?) Welcome back, and if I might add a personal suggestion, I would read through that discussion once again to identify aspects where the community had feedback for you and keep those in mind moving forward. Let me know if you have any other questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:54, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I never looked at the editing restrictions list, so I didn't see the un-ban date. Again, thanks! 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 23:37, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel:, just pinging. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 10:27, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not aware of anything else that needs to be done. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 00:32, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for replying! Does that mean I can nominate now, or wait a few more days? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 13:26, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TheNuggeteer, your topic ban has already expired, meaning you have the same privileges as any other editor at the moment, including nominating articles at quality assessment venues. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:09, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 09:04, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Administrators' newsletter – May 2025

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2025).

Administrator changes

Rusalkii

NaomiAmethyst (overlooked last month)

Interface administrator changes

Galobtter

Guideline and policy news

Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Hey there, anonymous user; looking at the current article, I'm not sure all of the sources used are reliable, and therefore whether the subject meets the general notability guideline. I'd recommend reading through the previous discussion at Articles for deletion for more information on why it was turned into a redirect the first time. Let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:09, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello TechnoSquirrel69:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

May thanks

Thank you for improving article quality in May. One of mine was Jadwiga Rappé. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:53, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
