... the Canadian Hockey Association (1968–1970). Any ideas for DYK hooks? BTW, of course I am working on that red link person already! I might even propose a double hook with him. Flibirigit ( talk) 05:05, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally,
MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Wikipedia User,
This is in regard to your deletion of my draft page SUGAR Cosmetics on Feb 28th 2020. As I am a new Wikipedia editor, would there be a possibility for you to help me publish new Wikipedia articles? Needed some assistance on this.
I will wait to hear back.
Thanks!

Your comments are not accurate, there are references on the BBC's website, on Afropop Worldwide's website, on websites maintained by the University of the West Indies, the Rototom Sunsplash festival and many other places, not just the author's own site. Do a google search, you will find all kinds of coverage about this author and his work, during the last 20+ years. This page should not be deleted. 1dubwize ( talk) 22:50, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Calvary (Little Company of Mary Health Care) is my employer. Happy for that to be included appropriately. Cant see where or how to do so. The entry is incorrect as it stands. The inclusions are consistent with our official webpages and documents and happy to cite those sites - thought I had. Don't have a lot of time to spend on this.

Don't have a lot of time to spend on this.Your edits violated our strict copyright policy and all future edits (which I strongly discourage you from even making) should be done on the articles talk page. HickoryOughtShirt?4 ( talk) 00:42, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi HickoryOughtShirt
You misunderstand me. I am keen to correct the entry, have drafted the corrections consistent with our organisation's public websites, in terms of TOS I am happy to comply by having it acknowledged that I am employee (but no get specific financial benefit) I just cannot see practically how to do the disclosure and in terms of time poverty am not finding this correction process easy or intuitive. I think you are advising me to not directly edit the page but make comment on it. Is that correct? BTW we have 120 volunteers here at Calvary Hobart and it was one of our fantastic volunteers who noticed the incorrect Wikipedia page and urged me to correct it. Hope you can help

Sir, even after Anu Malik has been exonerated by National Commission on Women on his fake MeToo cases, Bonadea is abusing her powers and is indulged in unilateral criticism of Anu Malik by deleting/removing all the sentences which supports him, while including those facts(Many fake) which are against him, without knowing the reality. I am from India, i know the on-ground scenario, Bonadea seems to be from Sweden, she doesn't know anything about Anu Malik, and is just involved in her gender bias! Please act as 'STATUE OF JUSTICE' and revert edits of heavy criticism for maintaining Wikipidea's neutral policy. Gyaansevak ( talk) 15:59, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
We met during the SACNAS x 500 Women Scientists Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. I was working on Jami Valentine's page and reached out to her for a permission to use one of her photos since her profile does not have one. I do have the permission, but I have no clue how to add it appropriately.
I hope you're doing well.

so impressed that someone is doing real-time monitoring! Kudos! So, I am the CEO of Recovery International, and it was called to my attention that the site was woefully out of date and incomplete. So, I came in and did some updates. then got a message that some of the changes were not properly cited, but I can't tell which ones. I will go back in and see, but if you can point me to specific instances, I'd appreciate it. Note that some of the updates are actually citations of the articles themselves, do I also need to add a reference footnote? Please advise. 98.223.27.65 ( talk) 17:38, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I hope your well?
Thank you for the comments. I am new to this and am still catching up... Sadly, the edits were NOT false, vandalism or whatever else you claimed and had you done a little due diligence you would have seen that my edits were in fact the truth. A little research goes a long way.
The links I provided supported the information / update which I believe is relevant to this category. I even provided a link to the UN Security Group in relation to the information added. Can you please assist wit this? I specialise in Security / Anti-Piracy and Somalia and so on and this edit is desperately needed.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SecurityExpert1982 ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Greetings, I made a few small changes and corrections to the Wikipedia page about me. Thank you for your diligence in ensuring edits are correct! I am the subject of the page and my edits can be easily cited.
My degree institutions were not correct, so I edited them. My BA is from CSULB, with MA, Graduate Certificate, & PhD from UMass. This can be verified by consulting and citing my CV online at http://www.professorevans.net/bio.html or my GSU faculty page https://wgss.gsu.edu/profile/stephanie-y-evans/.
I added a "D" middle initial to my husband's name--there are several Curtis Byrds. This can be verified by citing his website https://curtisdbyrd.com/.
I noted I moved out of home and was an emancipated youth at age 16. Documentation of this can be found on page 25 of "My Time in the Tower," a memoir photo essay. This is a relevant part of my bio because I work around issues of youth mentoring... See document http://nebula.wsimg.com/2cddeb3c4b7d2bb11a9c746a5dabc0bf?AccessKeyId=230E23EE48870411BCBD&disposition=0&alloworigin=1
Thanks again for reinstating my small corrections/changes. You are MUCH appreciated. Best, Stephanie Y. Evans — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drsyevans ( talk • contribs) 00:28, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
