Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

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.

G3 on Draft:JAYKID

Hello HeartGlow30797 -- Thanks for patrolling -- I've deleted this but completely blank (apart from wizard boilerplate) drafts should either be left alone (they are harmless, and will either be edited or eventually G13'd as stale) or tagged as test (G2). Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:21, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for the feedback, easing back into this with simple things. Does this apply with promotional edits as well? Thanks, Heart ^(talk) 22:24, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: also thought the title was borderline vandalism, one letter off from "GAYKID"

I hadn't thought of that, but Jay is a sufficiently common name and [1] suggests that Jay Kid was intended. With promotional creations it depends a lot where it is (reader facing or not) and exactly how promotional -- but these should be tagged G11, not for vandalism. With promotional edits on top of acceptable content, just revert obviously. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
