DCWC closing update

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Bronze Belt Buckle – 3rd place Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; Silver Belt Buckle – 2nd place Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Gold Belt Buckle – 1st place Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three, Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! India Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or ask one of the coordinators: Ixtal (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

I hope you're doing well! I have a question regarding my article on BankSathi that I’m working on for Wikipedia. I'm considering engaging with relevant WikiProjects like WikiProject Companies and WikiProject Finance to improve the article and ensure it meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.

Could you provide any insights on how best to approach these projects? Are there specific practices I should follow to effectively collaborate with other contributors?

Thank you for your guidance!

Important: Please update user script installation

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew

Question from Jacky2024 (09:05, 25 October 2024)

my submission for the draft article on BankSathi. I appreciate your feedback and would like to understand the specific reasons for the decline better.

If you could provide insights into the areas where the draft needs improvement, I would be grateful. I'm particularly interested in understanding how I can enhance the notability of the subject and ensure the article adheres to Wikipedia's content policies. --Jacky2024 (talk) 09:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @Jacky2024:. The AfC template should already clarify why the draft has been declined. In this case, the article does not show that the company meets the general notability guideline criteria. This means that the company needs to be significantly covered (no trivial or brief mentions) in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. WP:CORP goes more into detail about the notability guidelines of organisations and companies. Hope this helps. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 11:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello Mentor

Hello mentor, thank you for mentoring me.

I'm not sure what wikipedia mentorship entails, but I would be happy to learn from you in anyway I can. Related to this, my first (and so far only) article was nominated for deletion for being not-notable. I have responded to the thread (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Geoff_Tabin). I hope my response is useful and civil. I would love a second opinion on the notability of the article, and ideally help defending my article, which I genuinely do believe is notable.

Thanks! CallipygianConnoisseur (talk) 08:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Inquiry on a new article

Hello! Happy New Year!

I have written an article about a person who I would deem to be of significance in modern Filipino history, particularly his role in the constitutional convention of 1971-72. His diary of that time was published in 1993 and frequently cited as a historical document.

I did a lot of research and compiled information both from online sources and from interviews with one of his sons, who has archived his books, photographs and copies of several articles that were written about him Dr. Espiritu and that he himself kept.

One of the online sources that has a short bio is https://philippinediaryproject.com/about-the-philippine-diary-project/about-the-diaries/about-augusto-caesar-espiritu/ <https://philippinediaryproject.com/about-the-philippine-diary-project/about-the-diaries/about-augusto-caesar-espiritu/> but I’m again unsure how reliable this is for referencing since it is not a newspaper.

Much of the information comes from the information provided by his son, including a CV that Dr. Espiritu himself wrote as well as the short biographies that are printed in the books that he wrote and edited. I was told that these are “primary sources” and therefore not valid. The only valid sources would be newspaper articles and/or biographies. Is this accurate?

The article was twice rejected on the grounds that the references were insufficient.

I went to the live chat forum of wikipedia help at https://web.libera.chat/?nick=WhiteFig38#wikipedia-en-help <https://web.libera.chat/?nick=WhiteFig38#wikipedia-en-help> to find out more concretely what needs to be changed. Unfortunately, the editor I was talking to said that the article couldn't be published because of lack of reliable references.

May I kindly ask you to look into this as I have a number of questions needing your expertise.

Many thanks,

Hello,Vacant0. Have a question and wanted to see if you would point me in the right direction. Currently working on a page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hibbard_Casselberry).

Where does it go from there? --Casey24601 (talk) 20:51, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Casey24601:. I recommend using the Articles for creation process for submitting your draft article as you'll get feedback from reviewers in case your article needs more work. My recommendation would be to add missing references to those paragraphs that are unsourced. There's currently three paragraphs that do not have citations.

Hi @Zigly:. With the source editor, you can create references by typing <ref>...</ref> and inserting a {{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite book}}, {{cite magazine}}, or {{cite journal}} template inside of it. If you're using the Vector skin, you should be able to see "Cite" when opening the source editor. After clicking on it, you'll have four interactive templates to choose to add. The same goes in the visual editor, you have a "Cite" button that you can click on and then you can add a reference. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 09:03, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from Crescentguru (03:31, 12 March 2025)

Hello, How to remove the template about not enough info? I did add a citation that he was a professor at the University of Victoria. I thought that was the problem, but the template has not gone away. I looked for a mention of it in the source text, but could not find it. In sum...please help me get rid of the template. Thank you, Crescentguru --Crescentguru (talk) 03:31, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
