On 31 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Art Haege, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after each loss, American football coach Art Haege made his players crawl from the locker room to the practice field, saying "if you played like a worm, you crawled like a worm"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Art Haege. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Art Haege), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

• Bringing me to ANI over this? Really? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:46, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

• Hello. That whole thing is weird, but interesting in an experimental observation kind of way. Nobody can prohibit anyone from bringing up IAR if they are not performing an action at the same time. Using IAR as an opinion is a Wikipedia free speech issue and trying to sanction its very mention undermines free speech here like I've never seen. I hope you're not taking any of this seriously and feeling bad about editing because of it, please continue to do exactly what you do in benefiting the project. Thanks for your good work!

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

• Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
• Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
• FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
• TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
• Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I support you removing items from the list, but only when the requirements that the proposal sets out to restore articles on the list are met; when it contains sources that plausibly meet

  ) 01:21, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

  You're gaming the system; the proposal only intends the articles to be removed when it is plausible that GNG is met. The fact that, due to the extremely conservative initial inclusion criteria, it is possible to make edits considerably below that standard which would have excluded the article if they were made prior to the RfC being opened isn't relevant.

  I've made fewer reverts than you have, and I believe that maintaining my own proposal would be seen as a justification for mine; I'm not going to push that matter because some of your reverts, like Richard Genserowski, are appropriate, but I don't think it is a productive discussion to get into. BilledMammal (talk) 01:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

@BilledMammal: I've made three reverts – you've made six. The criteria says "no significant edits, no sources other than Olympedia" – by re-adding them, you're making your proposal completely false. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:34, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Suggesting that I'm "deliberately using Wikipedia policies in bad faith to thwart the aims of Wikipedia" is nonsense. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:57, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Reverts include the initial removal of the content. BilledMammal (talk) 02:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't think that's how it works. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:04, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Partially removing recently added content is a revert. BilledMammal (talk) 02:13, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Its ridiculous to suggest that removing one entry from a list of one thousand counts as a "revert." BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:14, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

It is as ridiculous as suggesting that removing a word from a thousand word article is a revert. Both are considered reverts, and both should be considered reverts. BilledMammal (talk) 02:21, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Removing a word in a thousand word article is only a revert if someone had previously specifically edited to add that exact word. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:22, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

It's also a revert if someone recently edited the article to add the sentence that word was part of, or recently created that article. Partial reverts are still reverts, and the removal of single words can be highly controversial. BilledMammal (talk) 02:25, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

This discussion is basically now becoming a "you're wrong - no, you're wrong" argument – which will never get anywhere. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

And by the way, @BilledMammal: how come its alright for you to revert SIX times but not me three, especially since the policy is only for those with four+ reverts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:24, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

4. Partial reverts are reverts.

Three reasons. One, editors are generally allowed to maintain their own comments, including proposals. Two, it was in error; I lost track of the number of reverts. Three, it was five reverts, and less than you had made.

However, our errors the other day don't justify errors today; please self revert to bring yourself back into compliance with

Hey, just tipping off about Kevin Bell (American football). I added him to February 11 on the Deaths page. Think he played at least a season in the NFL, not sure if that's enough or not for notability. Rusted AutoParts 06:00, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Yeah I've had him on my to-do list for a while now, though I've got a lot going on right now so probably won't be able to get to him at the moment – I had previously left a message about him on the WT:NFL talk page, so hopefully someone there can get to writing about him. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:06, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's

Please stop adding sources to Alexander Martin (born 1864) that have no evidence that they are dealing with him. If you're going to claim a source deals with an 1908 Olympian, it should at least mention that fact. There is no evidence that the Alexander Martin running a sports good store in Calgary is the person that competed at the 1908 summer olympics, who according to the official site was Arthur Martin. Even if the claim there was an Alexander Martin from the Martin family of Olympians who competed at the Olympics and is correct, it's most likely the one born 1895. The two sources you keep adding strem from 1922 and 1924 at which point the younger Alexander would have been 27-29 years old. A more plausible age for someone taking part in the competition one of the articles deals with than the 1908 Olympians who, according to Olympedia, would have been around 60 by then. Also note that your 1924 articles deals with a Lieut. Alex. Martin, which is the same military description given to the younger Alexander according to Olympedia. Then again according to Olympedia, the olympian Martins ran a firm called Alexander Martin Gunmakers, whereas the Calgary Martins ran a sporting goods store. I'd be willing to make a personal guess, I'd say that the Olympedia people mixed up Alexander Martin with his uncle Arthur, but that is guesswork and has no place on Wikipedia. In any case, there is no evidence whatsoever that the Calgary Martin is the same man who competed at the 1908 summer olympics other than your personal conjecture. Tvx1 20:48, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
