Hi. Did you intend to give this user the NPP flag along with their PCR? They raised a query because they didn't apply for it and did not know what Page Curation was. They know what to do now and will probably (hopefully) use it once they have read the instructions. I might even give them some training if I have time. NPP has a very steep learning curve and not all good AfC reviewers are aware of it. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:41, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kudpung, apologies for the late reply. I trust that Qcne's AfC experience will translate into NPP, although I will admit that me granting him NPP without tilling him anything about it was subpar. charlotte ^👸♥ 14:27, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Because it requires a near admin level of notability and deletion policies the right is generally only accorded at WP:PERM (like other requests for user rights) after a thorough vetting, and a proven track record and need for the extra tools. In the first instance, NPP is usually granted on probation for 30 days. If you haven't already done so, do check out the PERM requests, it often gets backlogged and coulddo with some help. Take care, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:37, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Queen of Hearts, it has been two days short of five months since you last posted to your review of this GA nomination, and you haven't responded to multiple queries there about the status of your review, despite significant editing activity elsewhere.

On February 21, it will have been a full five months. If you haven't responded by then with your plans—if you haven't edited on Wikipedia in the interim, I will naturally wait until you have edited so you have a chance to respond—I will request a second opinion in the hopes of getting a reviewer to finish up the review. Thank you for your attention to this and your understanding. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:22, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BlueMoonset – I'm surprised this hasn't already happened, please do so. For the record, I'm pretty sure it just needs a spotcheck. charlotte ^👸♥ 14:27, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just asking because you were the one who granted it, but could you remove my NPR right? Thanks! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 04:04, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 27 February 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gary Tuggle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Gary Tuggle, as head of Philadelphia's Drug Enforcement Administration division, led potentially the largest prepackaged heroin seizure in Delaware history? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gary Tuggle. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Gary Tuggle), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
• BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
• Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
• MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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!
