Ignore my mistake please!

[edit]

You can ignore my response to your comment on the other talk page—the formatting wasn't rendering correctly on mobile or something so I completely misunderstood that you were quoting the original post. I reverted my comment but just wanted to clarify since I had pinged you. Happy editing! MossOnALogTalk 15:56, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I was worried that might happen when I posted that..! 3df (talk) 22:09, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2026 March newsletter

[edit]

The first round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As some of you may have noticed, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP. This point increase has been retroactively applied to all good article reviews for which competitors have claimed points in this round. Peer reviews, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 1 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 300 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 7 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 168 good articles, 13 good-topic articles and more than 50 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 14 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 700 reviews. The tournament points table will be updated within the next few days.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 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!

  • Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?

Stopping AI Scraping

[edit]

Hey there! I wasn’t sure who to reach out to, but I created an algorithm that can mask text so it’s unreadable to AI but still visible to humans. I thought this may be good to help stop Wikipedia from being scraped for training. I would love to talk if you think it could be helpful. Here’s a video of it: https://x.com/rishiamba/status/2039903817270022356?s=46. Ramb5144 (talk) 17:27, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

We have to be sure everything we make can be read by blind users who may be using screen readers or braille displays. How does your algorithm accommodate blind users and not AI scrapers? 3df (talk) 21:01, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, yes, it works completely with accessibility software like screen readers and braille systems. Accessibility systems use the internal C++ code and not the JavaScript (which scrapers access) so it works with any sort of accessibility application. I'd be happy to show you or have you test it out yourself. Ramb5144 (talk) 02:42, 16 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think I understand, but the right place for a proposal like this might be at Meta-Wiki if you want to try that. 3df (talk) 23:54, 16 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You may be eligible to vote in the U4C election

[edit]

I am contacting you because you previously voted in elections related to the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). You may be eligible to vote in the current U4C election, which is open now and closes on 2 June 2026. You can find out more about the candidates and the election on the election page on Meta, and from there you can access the vote itself. Your participation in these elections is important to the governance of Wikimedia communities, and your time spent learning about the candidates and voting is appreciated.
