What is SEWP?[edit]

For example, in diff. Also, and probably related, what wiki is the oldid from (can you link the full URL here)?   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  14:06, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"SEWP" is the Simple English Wikipedia, also called SimpleWiki. As you can seen on the talk page, there's also a translation template explaining this and linking to the original article. Darkfrog24 (talk) 16:29, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! (https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=8882791 for the lazy/future reference).   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  17:22, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error on Janitor (Scrubs)[edit]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Janitor (Scrubs), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

  • A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 23:52, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Topic Ban question[edit]

What is the extent of your topic ban for WP:FICTIONAL? I ask since the subject your speaking on at WP:AFD covers Fictional elements. Conyo14 (talk) 04:17, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The accusations concerned a part of the Manual of Style called WP:LQ, a punctuation issue on WP:MOS. The topic ban covers "the Manual of Style." I'm not sure if it covers subpages like WP:WAF, but I've had nasty surprises before. So if we're talking about whether a source is reliable, whether it establishes notability, whether it's primary or secondary, we're good to go, but if the question is about in-universe vs out-of-universe prespective, I'm required to bow out of that part of the conversation. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay. Thank you for letting me know. I was mostly curious if even speaking on a fictional subject would be breaking the topic ban, but it seems it's not broadly construed. I appreciate the response. Cheers! Conyo14 (talk) 14:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation[edit]

Hello Darkfrog24, we need experienced volunteers.
  • New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
  • If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
  • If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
  • Cheers, and hope to see you around.

WikiCup 2024 February newsletter[edit]

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) 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.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter[edit]

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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!
