Happy Holidays
editHi, I hope you had a great Christmas, and have a great 2025. (bit early I know but wanted to say it anyways). Crafterstar (talk) 14:34, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!
editHappy 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.

2025 Update from Women in Green
edit
Hello TechnoSquirrel69:
2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!
For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!
This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

editout of curiosity i was reading through your work on castle in the sky and! wow!! so richly detailed and wonderfully produced, especially on the style and trip to wales sections. work is about to get busy again—but if you would get something out of it, on my end i can scour different stores near me to see if there's any old animage from around the time the film was released to see if it contains anything to help get it to featured article status? i'm happy to share them, but please don't feel any pressure to say 'yes' or 'no'. please consider it a thank you for your warm welcome and guidance.--Plifal (talk) 06:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the compliments, Plifal! And yes, it would be amazing to get my hands on some Animage articles from the time, and I'm very grateful for your offer regardless of the result of your search. To save you some time rifling through the shelves for the right issues, the Archives of Studio Ghibli Vol. 1 book has a list of articles published in Animage related to the film that I can share with you. If you want to send me an email through Wikipedia or through the address on my user page, I'll reply to you with the attachments. I haven't worked on it for a while, since more recently I've been focusing on other projects, including (soon to be GAN) Princess Mononoke, but as for bringing the article to FA status, that's definitely a long-term goal of mine. I actually nominated it at FAC earlier last year and one of the reasons it was archived was the sparse Japanese sourcing, which makes your offer all the more enticing! Thanks again, and let me know what you think. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:42, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- you're welcome! and yes thank you, that would help a bunch!! will mail you shortly. Plifal (talk) 05:03, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Princess Mononoke
editHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Princess Mononoke you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Rhain -- Rhain (talk) 06:26, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Princess Mononoke
editThe article Princess Mononoke you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold 
. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Princess Mononoke and Talk:Princess Mononoke/GA2 for issues which need to be addressed.
