You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Indiana HB 1041), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Purdue University article
[edit]Hi Moon motif,
I'm an incoming freshman at Purdue University and I was looking at the edit history for Purdue University.
I don't necessarily agree with these edits from other editors (not you), want to take a look?
Purdue University: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
The entire body of the "Organization and administration" section was deleted.
I also don't agree with whoever deleted "It has been ranked as among the best public universities in the United States by major institutional rankings, and is renowned for its engineering program." from the leading paragraph.
Thoughts?
Alexysun (talk) 02:38, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there! Thanks for saying hi and congrats on getting accepted to Purdue :>
- I also thought the "Organization and administration" section being deleted was a bit weird. However, I'm not sure if the information deleted could ever be properly sourced. I did some very quick cursory searching for any sources online about how Purdue's administration works and I couldn't find anything but I very well could have missed something. I noticed that the information deleted was from an edit back in 2004. The main article that the section references, Purdue University system, doesn't support the information in the section and also has its own problems with citation, with most edits in 2006. It seems that paragraph was written back when Wikipedia's source verification was laxer and, although it would be better if the information could be verified, I don't think there are any sources that would back the prose.
- The sentence deleted from the lede is a bit interesting. Since there's a section on Purdue's rankings, it could make some sense to have a sentence that mentions its rankings, but I personally feel its wording is dubious. I looked at articles on Ivy League universities and I found that 3/8 (Columbia, Harvard, Dartmouth) explicitly mention its prestige in its lede. The only featured article on a university in WikiProject Higher education is Pomona College which also does make explicit reference to its prestige. However, if we look at other public colleges that are similarly ranked to Purdue (UIUC, UW Madison, UWash, Rutgers, Ohio State), they don't make mention of being highly ranked in their ledes. Personally, I don't think it makes sense for the article's lede to include the sentence about it being highly ranked. Also, the citation the line references only looks at Purdue's engineering school; its overall US News ranking is much lower.

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter
[edit]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
[edit]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:

In addition, we would like to recognize

I have sent you a note about a page you started
[edit]Hi Moon motif. Thank you for your work on Gertrude Whiting. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Nice start! I recommend finding more sources and making a stronger case on notability as per WP:BIO, although two NY Times articles and an exhibit at the MET are not a bad start. Thanks and have a great day!
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
