December 2023[edit]
Hi Happily888! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Strictly Come Dancing several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Strictly Come Dancing, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Per WP:BRD, you were bold, I reverted, and you instead chose to edit-war rather than take the matter to the talk page. A bold strategy, Cotton; let's see if it pays off.. Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:42, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Although you did not providing an edit summary with your reversions, so were not following WP:BRDR. You also often edit without providing an edit summary; please note that all contributions should have an edit summary, even if it is a short one, unless their rationales are obvious. BRD is one of many optional strategies to dispute resolution, it it not the EW policy. Happily888 (talk) 01:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Reverts in Australian Survivor edits[edit]
Hello. I’d like to address the issue with the edits that you have reverted. Unfortunately, the tables that you are reverting fail to comply with MOS:ACCESS and MOS:COLOR:
Ensure that color is not the only method used to communicate important information. Especially, do not use colored text or background unless its status is also indicated using another method, such as an accessible symbol matched to a legend, or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a color screen will not receive that information.
When I presented these edits, you said it was "my ideals" and asked for a consensus among editors. There is one already: Survivor task force (based on Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Television/Archive_12#RfC_about_elimination-style_reality_programs). Many users have agreed that it is important to follow Wikipedia's MOS for each reality show, regardless of which version it may be.
Please take this information into consideration. This is for the better of Wikipedia, not for personal reasons whatsoever. Freddy7GL (talk) 17:10, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Please note that I have already stated that the Survivor task force is a WikiProject related to the American TV series and therefore its discussion page isn't the right venue for making a consensus for this article and it therefore doesn't apply, especially when those series haven't been notified of the discussion when it was occurring. I agree with the consensus on following MOS guideline, however formats which follow MOS are not all the same and international series of franchises do not have to have the exact same tables as the original series, especially because the series are different and therefore discussions need to take place before making major changes to articles.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter[edit]
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
- Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
- Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
- AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
- Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
- MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
- Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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!
