Question from Joanne helmer (17:35, 26 April 2025)
[edit]Hello. i just want to add a sentence or two to Bill Wyllie's page. i am a distant relative and met his mother when she travelled to Canada not long before she died. this is the sentence i want to add. (Wyllie's mother was born in Glasgow, Scotland and was sent by her family to Australia with the Salvation Army during the Depression. She had no family in Australia at the time. In her later years, her son arranged for her to travel to Canada to visit a niece and to Glasgow to visit remaining family.) --Joanne helmer (talk) 17:35, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Joanne helmer: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your interest in including that in the article. Unfortunately, you probably will not be able to include it in the article. Because this information does not come from a reliable source, it is original research, which is not permitted here. However, if you do find a reliable source with this information, feel free to add it with a citation. Cheers, and let me know if you have any further questions!

- there will be no reliable source for that. it was a family issue of severe poverty during the depression. i doubt if it was ever published anywhere. Joanne helmer (talk) 17:53, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
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)

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:
BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews
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!

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)
