== ''The Signpost'': 6 November 2024 ==
I know you said it was not encyclopaedic to keep adding nicknames to tennis threads.
To be honest, I thought I was just adding to the useless trivia already out there (https://en.wikipedia.org/Agnieszka_Radwanska says Agnieszka "Aga" Radwanska, https://en.wikipedia.org/Sam_Groth says Samuel "Sam" Groth, yeah I think you get the picture.)

To be honest, although the info I was adding is not necessary, I can't see how it detracts from the article.
<!-- Message sent by User:JPxG@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Wikipedia_Signpost/Subscribe&oldid=1255531917 -->
Look at actors, for example, Bob Balaban's page says Robert Elmer "Bob" Balaban.
I think adding nicknames adds to the identity of the person and also assists with their naming preferences.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I would like to be.

:::I think, in general, there's no place for nicknames in encyclopaedic articles, particularly not in the lead. Some inboxes provide an entry for them, and sometimes it may be appropriate to put them in the personal life section, but otherwise we just stick to the encyclopaedic facts of the matter, regardless of what's happened in other articles. ] (]) 09:03, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

== GA stuff ==

I put '']'' up for a GA review - it doesn't appear to lack anything that '']'' and '']'' has; maybe the plot summary could be longer, but looking at my book sources I reckon I've got ] weight right on it. I would like to put together a sample of sheet music showing the four themes, as soon as I find a good program to do it.

'']'' needs a bit more of an expansion to get close to GA and some of the {{cn}} tagged content needs to be sourced. Actually, you're an admin aren't you? Could you quickly have a look at ] and see if there's anything salvageable from it? My guess is probably not, or it wouldn't have been deleted in the first place. ] ] ] 15:05, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Misplaced Pages has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!
