Hallo, Thank you for creatingHey You (2022 film). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ieHey You), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find the new article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing.PamD19:14, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks veyr much for creating articles for important AAS fellows. I have noticed that you are using the naming as in AAS website which starts with Surname. I have now changed the name of these articles to thier name following conventional naming

Toure Moctar is nowMoctar Toure, seethis andhis google scholar account.

‪Andriambololona‬ Raoelina is now ‪Raoelina Andriambololona‬, seehis google scholar account.

Youdeowei Anthony is nowAnthony Youdeowei, seehis andthis.FuzzyMagma (talk)22:53, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much.Ibjaja055 (talk)20:49, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have moved couple of articles to the draft space before it gets deleted + they are not yet suitable as written to remain published. I would recommend adding more to the articles which can be easily found online. These articles can also use some proofreading before being published. I understand your ambition but I really think these scientists deserve better coverage/article and it is better to spend time on making an article good in the draft space before rushing to the mainspace. I will come back to help improving these articles before re-publish them.

list of the articles that I have moved:

•  Mohamed Thameur Chaibi (copy edited the text, kept well referenced informations, add more about his research and education, and fix the infobox you should usescientist infobox and not academic infobox as you need to describe the field + you like to use the word member when these arefellows)
•  Driss Bensari (similar toMohamed Thameur Chaibi. one useful trick, go for source edit, copy everything to a word document and then runGrammarly or word review forbasic copy editing.)
•  Ramjugernath Deresh (added more references, when you start and article as aDRAFT, wikipedia suggests sources. that is why I suggested you should start with adraft before jumping to main space. I see you did not do that for your recent two articles although I, and many other editors, recommended doing that. Please consider taking this advise. AAS is a good source but you sometime miss different aspect of the person work when your story is narrated/derived from one source)
•  Mohamed T. El-Ashry (+ added a section called see also, it will give a chance to link articles together so they will not beorphan, I will also look to these scientists' organisation to link them)
•  Aster Gebrekirstos, minor edits mostly in line referencing and copy editing.
•  Yehia Bahei El-Din (mainly copy editing + citation, I removed the mention of NASA award as I did not find any NASA related website that confrims this beyond what is written on AAS website)
•  Ashraf Mansour (expaned the article but one questions that bugs me is why did you make this article to start with)
•  Gombe Samson (his name is the other way around, thedate of birth was wrong and referenced to a site that does mentioned anything about his death, you tend to group reference which once checked one by one you will find only one actually give a reliable reference, It will be better if you can stick to referencing each information separately if you can, so it can be easily corrected)
•  Farida Fassi Added more references and more sections (+ fixed broken references, added a note, change the infox toscientistinclude the field, copy editing to use her last and remove mention of professor, for full details seehere)
• Djeffal Fayçal
• Bunmi Adelugba
• Cyrill Nunn (wrong infox is being used, need alot of copy editing + a free picture can be found + the references does not include many that go into depth about his education, work and personal life)

PS: as I am not familiar with politics, so I restricted myself to science as I know well that these scientist biographies can be assembled from reliable sources online. These are champions of science in their countries and Africa, at least they deserve a good WP. YoursFuzzyMagma (talk)09:23, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I hope you will not forget them in the draft. I will also try to improve them.Bunmi Adelugba is not an academic, she is a politician and a public office holder. The article should be stubbed rather than moved to draftIbjaja055 (talk)11:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, most of the articles drafted have been reviewed by four or five different reviewers. Drafting them will only give two of us the chance to incubate them but stubbing them can give many editors the chance to add more to the articles.Ibjaja055 (talk)11:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 we are on this together brother. And I might disagree with you 2nd assumption especially because that why we are building these articles because no one ever thought about doing that .. but time will prove one of us wrong ..FuzzyMagma (talk)11:26, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FuzzyMagmaYes brother! Most of these scientists have been forgotten and I hope that more hands like us will assist. So what is the conclusion now? Allowing them to be stubbed or leave them in draft. Seriously, even some of the administrator that I feared most have reviewed the articles.Ibjaja055 (talk)11:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 give me a week on the draft space and then let’s submit them for review (not moving them directly back), just to get a 2nd opinion on how to improve themFuzzyMagma (talk)11:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FuzzyMagma It is a good idea brother. Thank you for your time.Ibjaja055 (talk)11:55, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Hi I have done two and described above what I have done, please check them and have a go atBunmi Adelugba andRamjugernath Deresh and I can have a look when you are done before we sumbit for review.FuzzyMagma (talk)21:34, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have checked them and I have gotten the logic. I will also try it tomorrow. It's already late hereFuzzyMagmaIbjaja055 (talk)21:47, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are highly welcome @FuzzyMagmaIbjaja055 (talk)10:37, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your efforts on the articles. I am still trying to find my way around starting with the draft. I am learning a lot from your edits.Ibjaja055 (talk)11:28, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What I do most of the times is to create the draft in my phone notebook before creating the article. For every I create I have the draft in my phone. there are some information that I never thought are essential but looking at your edits, I realized I have been missing vital information.Ibjaja055 (talk)11:35, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks brother, it’s a learning process to be honest. And I really admire your passion.To start with a draft article, you can make a to do list in your talk and then use [[ followed by Draft:TheTopic and then close the prac, e.g.,Draft:Sudanese National Academy of SciencesFuzzyMagma (talk)12:19, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FuzzyMagmaIbjaja055 (talk)20:37, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good .. will benefit from copy editing which I will do tomorrow in grammaly + creating an info box. But content wise this have more ‘meat’. Btw I looked to the articles that you have created - which is alot! - but 1/3 of them is un-assessed, sup and start. You have 1 C article. I’d recommend trying to at least upgrade 50% to start and 25% to C.

last thing, I saw the delete notification on your pictures which something I expected, I would recommend chatting with person who flagged them to see what you can learn from that mistake. There is the option of non-free image upload but that also applies to specific situations/images

all and all .. love your dedication bro ..FuzzyMagma (talk)20:49, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to mention, @Ibjaja055 can we try to finish the articles on this list by this week so you can go back to your routine of daily article creationFuzzyMagma (talk)20:52, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I will work on them this week In Shaa Allah.Ibjaja055 (talk)21:04, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FuzzyMagmaIbjaja055 (talk)21:05, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I went throughDraft:Aster Gebrekirstos, It is really good work. I have done some inline citation (for FAAS and FTWAS). My inclination is to cite whenever the information can be sourced to a one reliable reference, and group references when the sources are not very reliable but more than one is saying the same information. But overall, you are making strides my friend. Amazing workFuzzyMagma (talk)10:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will stick to that, thank you. @FuzzyMagmaIbjaja055 (talk)16:49, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 can you please have a go at fixing Ashraf Mansour's article. A quick warning, there is alot of information about him in the internet and everyone will appreciate if his package act as a summary of all of the reliable information about him available online. Good luck. I will come and review it once you are done and add more from the Arabic sources. He is a well known name and done alot scientifically and politically so make sure that is reflected in his WP.FuzzyMagma (talk)13:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to but most of the references am seeing are linking him with GUC. I barely see good reference that talks about him.Ibjaja055 (talk)15:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 can I get your help on thisdeletion reviewFuzzyMagma (talk)10:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is it that the category was deleted or the article was deleted?Ibjaja055 (talk)11:07, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 the category. Some admins previously discussed deleting sub-categories of Order of merits that relates to African nations and decided to delete them and give each nation one category.

Hi Ibjaja055. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back atthe permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them aspatrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at theNew Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, youmust read the tutorial atNew Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand thedeletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use thenew page reviewer talk page or ask via theNPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They areusually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations usingEarwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with thegeneral notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1,2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to thelist of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. – Joe (talk)13:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ibjaja055,

Backlog update:At the time of this message, there are11,300 articles and15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive:A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You cansign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades:Upgrades to thePageTriage code, initiated by theNPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by theWMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be foundhere. As part of this work, theSpecial:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeedhere - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip:Professors can meetWP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find theirGoogle Scholar orScopus profile and take a look at theirh-index and number of citations. As avery rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index oftwenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip:If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers useDiscord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on theNew Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider addingthe project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourselfhere.

Ibjaja, how far nah. E don tey wey speak. On a side note, did you know that fellows of the Nigerian Academy of Science are notable? Best,Reading Beans (talk)20:49, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading Beans Am good o. I just dey gentle o. Yes, I have had some issues with them but the consensus is that the fellows are notable. The fellows are elected based on the contributions of scientists in Africa. It is also part of the Notability guideline ofWP: Academic but it shouldn't be the only source, there should be other sources too that can confirm his/her scholarly contributions.Ibjaja055 (talk)21:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but, how can someone be elected a fellow without having sources that can help them establish Wikipedia notability? *Wink*Reading Beans (talk)21:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading BeansAt times, it can happen. What I discovered over the time of creating articles around them is that they preferred featuring in peer reviewing journals rather than news coverages.smiles.. My conclusion on that is that maybe because journals further elevates their status in the realm of academics.Ibjaja055 (talk)21:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ibjaja055,

I wanted to let you know that I just taggedWarhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to anamespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin to be deleted, you cancontest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note onmy talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello. May I ask why you added the notability tag to Your Favourite London Sounds? I accept the subject is quite niche but I believe it passes the notability criteria of WikiProject Albums. It uses fifteen secondary sources; most are direct coverage of the release, including reviews and analysis fromThe Guardian,Los Angeles Times and NPR. There is also material fromThe Chicago Tribune andThe Wire. I believe the article demonstrates notable coverage. --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk)23:29, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TangoTizerWolfstone Thank you for the clarification. However, majority of the references are not accessible either they are subscription based or google books. You have two The Guardian sources and one can be considered as a reference because the other was not talking about the subject. I think we should give a chance for another reviewer to review it. Thank youIbjaja055 (talk)20:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I feel, per WP:PAYWALL, that the newspaper.com sources are fine. Ditto the Google books. I may take this to WikiProject Albums for further opinion. Thank you.TangoTizerWolfstone (talk)04:18, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh My request for renewal of New page reviewer has been pending for days. I want to participate in November backlog but I am unable to do so because the tool is not working again. Can you help me to process the request. Thank you.Ibjaja055 (talk)21:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ibjaja055. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back atthe permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them aspatrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at theNew Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, youmust read the tutorial atNew Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand thedeletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use thenew page reviewer talk page or ask via theNPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They areusually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations usingEarwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with thegeneral notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1,2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to thelist of new page reviewers with language proficiencies.HJ Mitchell |Penny for your thoughts?19:15, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello andwelcome to Wikipedia. When you add content totalk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure tosign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add fourtildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Hello, Ibjaja055,

Please remember to sign all comments, not only on Talk pages but also on Project pages like AFD deletion discussions. Otherwise, editors have to look at the page history to see who posted a comment. Thank you.Liz^Read!Talk!07:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ibjaja055, just want to let you know that when adding templates, there's no need of adding the Template: prefix if you're using the curly brackets ({{}}), for example, just do {{WAP}} and NOT {{Template:WAP}}. Many thanks :)Vanderwaalforces (talk)12:23, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Hehe, please tell me how I can help, are you trying to add that template to all the articles created at WikiProject AfroDemics?

Also, I have few observations, instead of adding theWiki Afrodemics Project Articles to the main articles as youdid here, we could just add the category inside thisTemplate:WAP so that whenever the template {{WAP}} is added to the talk page of any of the articles, the category is automatically populated with the talk pages of the articles, instead of the main pages. What do you think? Because it doesn't appear to make sense to add the main pages unless you want to make the category a hidden one.

Can you do that? I could help if you want.Vanderwaalforces (talk)12:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Okay, please hold on and do not add the category to articles for now so that you don't have to undo many edits. I will make some edits to the template and the category will be populated by the article's talk pages it was added to.Vanderwaalforces (talk)12:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 I guess I didn't spoil things. You can now go ahead and add the template to the talk pages and don't bother to add the category to the articles directly. I will also assist in adding the category to the articles.Vanderwaalforces (talk)12:54, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ibjaja055,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations toSchminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations toJTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in theMay backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar.Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see theAwards page and theHall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: TheWMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developersdeployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and thengave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work toSpecial:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, whowrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updatedNPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on theNew Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider addingthe project discussion page to your watchlist.

Thank you for taking the time to review my draft, but I don't see any reason to reject it, and the person does not failWP:NPOL. As a reviewer myself (in my main account), I know you probably rejected it for the three-or-so sources, but the subject passesWP:NPOL as aPoliticians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. The subject passes the 'legislative body' rule because of being part of the19th Congress of the Philippines, therefore becoming a member of a national legislative body surpassing the guidelines. I renominated the nomination.Thanks,Jettward (talk)01:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I was just looking at a case of unattributed translation and found that you'd dropped a couple of warnings on the editor's talk page about it - but the messages immediately above yours werealso about adding unattributed translations, and the unattributed edit in question was made several years ago.

Hi Ibjaja055, I just wanted to let you know that I haveadded theautopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in thenew pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have beenrequested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload ofnew 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 relevantWikiProject templates,stub tags,categories, andincoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such asRater andStubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia'score content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become anew 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!Just Step Sideways^{from this world ..... today}01:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As for notability, all valuable references pointing to the subject's notablity are herein attached and the person in subject is a high ranking individual inNigeria. I made sure i was brief and concise with neutral writing point while writing about the subject. In response to your comment of "being a director general of an organization that is not notable", I request you to read about the organization properly. It is a recognized organization by thePublic Investment Fund and other large Nigerian entities like theFederal Ministry of Petroleum Resources. please kindly don't flag articles you don't specialize in and leave them to be moderated by nigerian editors. i have read countless nigeria articles where some organizations are not even notable, yet they pass the criteria of notability. i believe there should be no bias. ~~Gonisulaimann (talk)11:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for reviewing my draft! I would be interested to know what you thought my draft was lacking, as I believe William Trump is notable due to the quote donald trump said about him and his significant news coverage. Would you mind giving me some feedback on why you declined it?— Precedingunsigned comment added by54rt678 (talk •contribs)22:52, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@54rt678 Notability is not inherited and Trump cannot transfer his notability to him. He needs enough significant, reliable and Independent coverages in multiple events before it can passWP:GNG. I didn't even think that the article can be considered forWP:BLP1EVENT, the subject is just not notable. Thank youIbjaja055 (talk)04:54, 16 December 2024 (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.

The article "Ndi Kato" which you nominated for deletion and flagged for "resembling a resumé" has been edited and re-written to meet Wikipedia standards with the adequate sources added. Please review the page again and give any needed feedback.JohnInyiriOgba (talk)05:55, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnInyiriOgba it is not about resembling a resume, the sources and the information in the article do not show that the article is notable. For instance, she cannot be notable for being a spokesperson for politician please checkWP:NPOL or notable for creating a foundation. It is already atWP:AfD where other editors would carefully look at it to further determine if it can have its own page or not.Ibjaja055 (talk)06:54, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then. Thank you so much for your feedback.JohnInyiriOgba (talk)06:56, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear ReviewerPlease could you be specific when you write that "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." I am an experienced author and academic (and periodic contributor to Wikipedia), and in my opinion the sources cited are reliable and appropriate for the text of the article. The content is largely based on the first reference: does that need to be made clearer? Do you need page references for the first and fifth references? Please indicate what you are looking for so that I can provide it.Thank you.

@SartzbirdThank you for your work. The draft does not meet the minimum standard for inline citation. Apart from that, all the references provided cannot be verified. All of them are books without ISBN or even links to where to get them.Ibjaja055 (talk)19:18, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
