Meant to bring this up, but there were these Nintendo Switch News posts made in Japan discussing Super Kirby Clash titled the "Super Kirby Clash Treasure Channel". It may be worth seeing if you can find these, since they seem to have some dev info on the game in them. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:13, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip! A quick Google search didn't find much, but I'll see if I can track them down. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found one mentioned on WiKirby regarding Aeon Hero, and there seem to be others from what I can gather, but I wouldn't know much on where to find them. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:38, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I just noticed that you reverted my edit about the Nekojishi trio and Joyville 2's Lumina as not being from "notable" games. What did you mean by that? Would those aforementioned games be notable if an existing Wikipedia page on those games existed first to be included in the "List of fictional cats in video games" page?-Prince Silversaddle (talk) 22:07, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Lists like these typically only include characters from games with an article, or at least a series article. QuicoleJR (talk) 22:17, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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!

I saw you archived some discussions, and I'm trying to be more helpful on there in closing, but archiving is not something I'm not clear on. I'm used to bots handling that for me, how's it done on VA? Thanks! GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 01:58, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GeogSage: We "disabled" the bot a few months ago because it was archiving unfinished discussions. The way archiving is currently done at VA5 (not sure about the other levels) is manually moving the discussion off of the talk page and into the archive. Some people use a script for that, I just cut and paste. Most discussions are supposed to be archived a few days after closure, but sometimes people forget and they sit there for weeks. Hope this helps. QuicoleJR (talk) 02:04, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Definitely helps. I just taught myself how to close a few weeks ago and want to make sure I'm cleaning up after myself. Expecting bots to do the work was not the best assumption of mine. I'll try to chip in with house cleaning from time to time, as much of a mess that I make with proposals and discussions, it's the least I can do. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 02:16, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
