Your WikiCup submissions: two FLCRs
Hi OlifanofmrTennant, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/1960 Winter Olympics medal table/archive1 and Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Magnum P.I. (2018 TV series) episodes/archive1 for FLCR points in the WikiCup. Unfortunately, neither of these submissions are currently long enough to qualify for points. I know this can be disappointing. In the future, I'd keep in mind that per Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, high-quality reviews generally contain at least 4-5 pieces or 100 words of substantial feedback, or if that is not possible, a summary paragraph describing how the article already meets the FLC criteria.

Hi OlifanofmrTennant, I've now finished my copy-edit. I think this article needs more work before it is nominated for GA status. I agree with your comment at REQ about the article's fictional biography section being long-winded so I've marked it as {{fancruft}}. I have somewhat reduced the verbiage and fixed the incorrect verb tenses (In Wikipedia, fictional happenings are described in the present tense, not the past tense), but summarising is not generally part of a copy-editor's task. Good luck with the article. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 22:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter
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disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia.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!

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter
The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.
Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:
BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews
In addition, we would like to recognize
Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.
The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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!

David Tennant Filmography
I sent a quick message over on DC, but just in case you haven't seen it yet, here's a list of glaringly obvious things I noticed with this list:
- The short description could be dialed in slightly
- The image has a fixed PX size, and no alt text
- It needs a lead expansion
- No table captions
- Unsourced works
- Some missing works (Doctor Who Confidential and Doctor Who: Unleashed came to me)
- Some duplicate references
- Reference formatting issues (dates, titles, inconsistency, etc.)
- We should be able to use this as a rough framework/to do list

Everyone who competed in Round 4 will advance to Round 5 unless they have withdrawn. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for Round 4 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 9 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 98 good articles, 9 good topic articles, more than 150 reviews, nearly 100 did you know articles, and 18 in the news articles.
In advance of the fifth and final round, the judges would like to thank every contestant for their hard work.

Heyo, was just curious if you were still working on the draft in question. In my personal opinion, I think it's ready for mainspace but was just curious if maybe you forgot to move it or just altogether. Cheers, Kline • talk • contribs 16:15, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Olliefant!

My article was rejected for biased positioning. I took that feedback (it was valid, I admit I am a fan of this artist) and have since re-written the article in a completely objective and factual tone. How do I resubmit? Is that something you can help me with? Thank you so much in advance! --RedStormKnight (talk) 21:50, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

- I've granted for a 3-month trial period. Feel free to re-request at WP:PERM/PM a couple weeks before the right expires. If you plan to help out at WP:RM/TR, I recommend looking at User:Toadspike/How to RMTR. If not, I recommend skipping to the bottom of that page and installing the PageSwap and MoveHistory scripts listed anyways. Have fun! :) Toadspike [Talk] 11:49, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Olliefant, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:33, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from Asdf sero (10:25, 7 December 2025)
Hello! Firstly, I want to express thanks for your efforts in improving wikipedia :D I really appreciate the work you guys do! Secondly, (my actual question): I wanted to add a citation to this statement "Cyclothymia is also often confused with borderline personality disorder due to their similar symptoms,[13] especially in older adolescents and young adults.[medical citation needed]" in the page for cyclothymia. I found a medical study that states "Some authors have suggested that cyclothymic disorder and bipolar disorders in adolescents may be misdiagnosed as BPD (e.g. Kochman et al., 2005, Ruggero et al., 2010)." Do i cite the study I copied this statement from (that summarised results of other authors), or the studies that were cited by this article (ie. Kochman et al., 2005, Ruggero et al., 2010)? Thank you!! --Asdf sero (talk) 10:25, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

ABQ moves
You recently moved ABQ to ABQ (TV station) and then moved ABQ (disambiguation) to ABQ. I reverted these because the same move was previously proposed but did not achieve consensus. You should start a new discussion before moving a page in this situation. In addition to that, however, you did not change the first line of the disambiguation page, which reads "ABQ is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's ..." Do you see the problem there? Suppose I type "ABQ" in the search bar and get taken to this disambiguation page. If I want to read the article about the TV station, how do I find it? Before moving the disambiguation page over to ABQ, you should have made sure that all other pages that link to ABQ were fixed so that the links take readers to the correct article. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:36, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
- I saw the discussion but did not think it was relevent as the move proposals were for primarily for other articles with a different title, that being said I completely forgot about the other two things. That being said I still believe the TV station should be disamiguated Olliefant (she/her) 06:10, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
