Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,
As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.
Highlights of 2023:
Acknowledging Challenges:
While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.
Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:
As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.
Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Warm regards,User:Ainali,User:Daniel Mietchen

Good afternoon, Guettarda. I've recently learned that a number of article creations have been incorrectlyattributed to me after I draftified them, namelyDanilo Riethmüller,Sean Jones (Basketball player),Viliami Fifita, andJack Farrimond. I was wondering if there was any way to have those removed from my list of pages created. Someone suggestedhere that youmay be able to help with that as it seems like you've recently resolved a similar problem. Cheers,JTtheOG (talk)23:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia.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 receivetournament points at the end of each round. Unlike theround 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 4featured articles and 4good 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, 2featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2In 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 seenhere. 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 onWikipedia: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.

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC.

Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receivetournament 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 24good articles, 28Did you know articles, and oneIn the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians

Hi Hi, I did see your questions to MMiller; while I think the questions have merit, I feel like a few of them could be perceived as being framed in a rhetorical way (specifically those surrounding donor funding and how much volunteer time is valued at) especially given how tense the conversation already is. I would suggest asking them offwiki (via email) or on their talk page next time. The thread is already inflamed and emotionally charged and I don't think it's a good idea to try and add fuel to the fire. (That being said, if you do find egregious oversight, it would be fine to bring it up publicly)Sohom (talk)20:39, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, since the pages are all protected I had to personally approach you.
This user,User:Hogyncymru, just changed the subject's intro from "right wing" to "far right" out of nowhere onCharlie Kirk, the person's page.
The same user slipped solitary response in the discussion atKilling of Charlie Kirk saying "why not far-right," which shows they have an agenda.
The user also has inflammatory and disrespectful language written in their user page — believe me, I've been banned in the past for how I conducted my previous user page, because some accused men of disrespecting other users. That's why I am having so much trouble fathoming how this user's improprieties allowed.
Kindly intervene and reinstate the "right wing" tag.Aman7goyal (talk)23:55, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
