:::::Yes, the edit summary counters don't count the automated summaries, while the preference does. It is a bit inconsistent (and maybe there should be a feature request for extended preferences). The auto summaries that state which section you are editing are better than nothing, but of course not as good as really describing what you do by hand. —'''[[User:Kusma|Kusma]]''' ([[User talk:Kusma|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Kusma|c]]) 11:21, 13 August 2019 (UTC) |

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
- L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
- Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
- MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
- Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
- Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
- Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

EngvarB Q
What's the matter with EngvarB? I haven't heard of any problems with it before. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 09:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- Per template:EngvarB:
An article tagged with one of the specific language templates must never be changed to {{EngvarB}}
. There is no legitimate reason to do so. {{EngvarB}} is a cleanup template applied by bots to articles where the national variety of English cannot be automatically determined from the text. It signals to bots that the variety is unknown, and they will add according to their own defaults. The idea is that the article maintainers should go through the article, remove the anomalous spellings, and tag it with the correct variety of English. Per WP:ENGVAR, once this is done, the bots and human editors must respect the specified variety of English. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Will you run for administrator?
Hi Hawkeye I've kept an eye on you (as you know) for a while and I think you'd make a fine admin. Would you consider running? Any talk-page stalkers who are interested in co-nominating, please speak up. I'm always happy to share. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:27, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Might a hatting be in order?
Hi Hawkeye7,
I was surprised at the tone of this response to you. My thought is that we were informative, but that you were not reciprocated by the asker. I am prepared to hat this whole thing, but I suspect that you are easygoing about it. Probably we could let this all pass, in silence.
But I could act. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 23:32, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Nope nope nope
I don't agree one bit with your last revert : not only are you deleting valuable information, that was correctly accompanied with a citation needed tag, but your reasons are shady.
Editors are forbidden from adding unsourced material.
I didn't see the forbidden part anywhere in the guidelines, especially when it was clearly written that a citation was needed. And ultimately, since information is lost by your revert and the article linked was very explanatory of the subject, that falls for me in IAR.
Unsourced material in not allowed at all in A-classd articles.
Wikipedia:Content assessment: "It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources." Don't see the not allowed either.
Last thing : I already corrected a non negligeable amount of information in this article just by looking in the official decrees. That is strange for a good article. So, I revert back.
CocoricoPolynesien (talk) 21:08, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- WP:V: Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source. How about just finding a source?
- I was going to ask you if you would be interested in co-nominating the article for FAC?
RfA and edit summaries
I am not sure what's going on but the Xtools edit summaries report does give you the mainspace edit summary usage of 46.7% for all mainspace edits, and 45.6% for major mainspace edits. Nsk92 (talk) 23:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Looking at your article space edits from today, I do see quite a few edits that in the edit history appear as not having edit summaries. E.g. [16] [17][18] [19][20] [21] [22][23][24][25][26]. All of these edits have a notation "Tag: PHP7". I am not sure if the tag has any significance, as plenty of your other edits, with edit summaries, have the same tag. Still, it is possible that something related PHP7 to is not working right. Nsk92 (talk) 00:07, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- They all have edit summaries. The first one is "Safety tests", the second is "Biography". I don't know what the tag means. My preferences have "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" set. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 07:26, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Those aren't edit summaries. They are pre-existing section headers. If an edit is made without an edit summary, it is shown in the edit history by a greyed-out section header. E.g. this edit that I just made here on my own user page [27]. The same is true for all of your edits whose diffs I listed above. ""Biography", "Safesty tests", etc are section headers that were already there before, prior to your edits. When a new section is created by an edit, it is shown in the edit history by its new greyed-out name followed by bright black phrase "new section", e.g. here [28].
