editHi Toadspike, it was a good question, thanks for asking – and to Sennecaster for noticing. I had already thought about this ([1]) but it was lost in implementation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:04, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
How can I change the map image on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_Garden_Banks_National_Marine_Sanctuary page?
It's in an Info Box that says I do not have permission, but the map is out of date. --KLDrin (talk) 22:21, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- @KLDrin Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you'll stick around. That article is not protected, so it shouldn't require any special permissions to edit. The map image itself is on Wikimedia Commons here. If you want to replace it with a different image, I suggest you find one that complies with the Commons license requirements (basically, a public domain or Creative Commons-licensed image) and upload it at commons:Special:UploadWizard. Then, you can add it to the infobox by replacing
| photo = Flower Gardens NMS map.jpg
in the infobox code with the name of the new file. Toadspike [Talk] 22:31, 30 January 2025 (UTC)- Thanks. That worked. KLDrin (talk) 22:55, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
DYK for Julier Pass
editOn 4 February 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Julier Pass, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the peak of the Julier Pass, 2,284 metres (7,493 ft) above sea level, is flanked by two ancient Roman columns (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Julier Pass. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Julier Pass), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Ashish Dataintelo (09:37, 14 February 2025)
editHello Mentor,
Waned to create pages of my Organization Dataintelo. Please help me out for this. --Ashish Dataintelo (talk) 09:37, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Ashish Dataintelo Please read this guide. You need to be careful, as you have a conflict of interest, which will make it difficult to write a neutral article about your organization. Toadspike [Talk] 18:09, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from Grostaylor (12:43, 24 February 2025)
editHello. Just wanted to add The Peabody to dances of the 40’s. --Grostaylor (talk) 12:43, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, Grostaylor, and welcome to Wikipedia! It doesn't look like we have a list of dances of the 1940s, nor does it look like we have a category for them. We only have an entry at List of dances#P. So, if you have information about the Peabody you would like to add, I suggest you add it to the article, Peabody (dance).

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter
editThe first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.
Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:
- Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
- Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
- BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
- Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
- Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
- MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.
The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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!
