Question from ArjunQM (10:46, 27 April 2025)

[edit]

Hello! I'm quite a new user on Wikipedia and I've got a couple of questions to ask, if you don't mind. What exactly makes an inappropriate use of primary sources? I know that on Wikipedia, we are supposed to prioritise secondary sources, but in some scenarios, such as when talking about personal life in a biography article, the best information would come from the person themselves, surely? In this case, would it be okay to use primary sources from the person themselves? And another question: what makes an inappropriate primary source? Are we allowed to just use quotes from that person, or a video of them saying it, as a source? Is a FAQ from them an acceptable source? I read the Wikipedia guidelines on this, but I was a bit confused. Thank you! --ArjunQM (talk) 10:46, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ArjunQM: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Sorry about the long wait—I've been quite busy lately. I presume your question is about Draft:SmallAnt. A general rule is to err on the side of caution—i.e. don't use the source at all if you're unsure. Actually, a lot of the times, the best information does not come from the person themselves, since they will often be biased (i.e. less likely to say something bad about themselves). If you need to use a primary source, make sure it is published in a reliable source, and don't use primary sources for especially controversial claims. I don't know about videos or FAQs, but if you have any specific source questions, you can let me know here and I'll take a look. Cheers, and happy editing! ‍Relativity ⚡️ 23:05, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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 Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.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 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!

Question from Shesight (23:20, 1 May 2025)

[edit]

Hi, I recently joined as an editor and have made some edits. I have created a page of a living woman personality. This is my first in this series. I have updated all contents, citations etc as per the norms of Wikipedia. When will the draft page go into becoming a published article ? Thanks in advance. --Shesight (talk) 23:20, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Meenu Shesight: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I assume you are talking about Draft:Chandra Vadhana Radhakrishnan. The page is not currently submitted for review. I have added a banner to the top of the draft with a button to submit it if you would like. It may take up to a few months before a reviewer gets to your draft, but it will probably be quicker than that. Although I have not had the chance to check your draft's text or citations, make sure you check your usage of external links. Cheers, and let me know if you have any further questions! ‍Relativity ⚡️ 23:16, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Emily Kornya (19:34, 2 May 2025)

[edit]

How can I create my own wikipedia page? I am a known fashion photographer? --Emily Kornya (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Emily Kornya, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please take a look at Wikipedia:Autobiography. The simple answer is: creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. The long answer is that the problem with you creating an article about yourself is that you will be biased in writing that article. On Wikipedia, we are very strict about keeping our articles with a neutral point of view, and since you would be writing about yourself, it would be much harder for you to adhere to that. In addition, you would have a conflict-of-interest (please read WP:PSCOI for more information on this) and therefore would have to abide to our policy on paid editing. If you are truly notable, someone else will create an article about you someday. One last point: if someone offers to create an article for you for a fee, this is a scam (read WP:SCAM for more information and what do do just in case that happens). Anyways, have a great day, and let me know if you have any further questions! ‍Relativity ⚡️ 23:18, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
