WikiCup 2021 May newsletter

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

  • Botswana The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
  • Republic of Venice Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  • Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
  • England Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
  • England Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
  • Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
  • Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on

Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Bad coordinates in article again

Please check all coordinates before your DYK articles get to the Front Page. I had to fix Ritz Tower just now. These errors cannot be allowed to continue. Abductive (reasoning) 14:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Abductive, sorry about that. In some cases I expand existing articles with bad coordinates, but these are from NRHP databases. I will have to check these from now on. I think this is about the fourth or fifth time this issue has been discussed, but for some reason I only checked my new articles. Epicgenius (talk) 14:11, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
I just corrected two more in that are in the DYK process. Abductive (reasoning) 22:34, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Abductive, that is weird. For Lescaze and 219 East 49th, I extracted these coordinates on OSM (not from an external source) as they were new article creations. I'm not sure how these errors got into these articles. Epicgenius (talk) 22:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
I use Wikimapia which allows for instant toggling between Google, Bing and OSM, and has a reticle showing where the coordinates are. Abductive (reasoning) 22:41, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Poor disambiguation

Hi Epic, hope you're well. Schroon Lake (New York), Schroon Lake, New York seem rather poorly disambiguated. Do you have a clearer way of handling this or am I imagining a problem where one doesn't exist? Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 17:35, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
