By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, 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.

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! |

Hello, Another Believer, I noticed that this article was being discussed at an AFD and I thought that you, as a content creator who has one of their foci all things Northwest, maybe knew of some sources that could help improve this article. I'd think there would be plenty of coverage in the Oregonian or WW. Thank in advance for any help you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 18:11, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Merger notice
editHi there. While reviewing recently created pages, I noticed that a page you created, The Donald J. Trump Enduring Flame, does not meet WP:GNG as a standalone article due to lack of WP:NSUSTAINED notability. As an alternative to deletion, I've WP:BOLDly merged the content to Donald Trump in popular culture#Art. If you disagree, feel free to revert my merge and I will bring the merger discussion to AfD instead. Thanks! Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:45, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Rufus Wainwright - 25th Anniversary Edition.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:33, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Christmas Dive Bar logo.png
editExtended content

---|
Thank you for uploading File:Christmas Dive Bar logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 18:02, 29 November 2024 (UTC) |

Hey there, chances are you would have stumbled across it anyway since I already added it to Wiki Loves Pride, but I figured I'd ping you anyway in case you have any help for the new article for GenPride I just created since I know you created the related Pride Place article and it's our new venn-diagram overlap of LGBTQ and Seattle area topics :) Raladic (talk) 01:23, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
