Hello Asartea. This is Zach from PLBY Group. You helped me with an edit request I made for the Playboy article a few months back. There's currently an active discussion I'm having with another editor on whether the introduction should identify Playboy as a lifestyle brand, in addition to its origins as a magazine. We're looking for some extra opinions, and I thought you might be willing to weigh in. If so, you can find the discussion here. Thanks! PLBY ZG ( talk) 23:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

The WikiCup is over for another year and the finalists can relax! Our Champion this year is
The Rambling Man (
submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
If you have views on whether the rules or scoring need adjustment for next year's contest, please comment on the WikiCup talk page. 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 2022 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

User @Kasim8999 & @Limited Idea4me is vandalizing the facts. The marriage record provided on website can be added easily by paying some fee. And continuous editing the same thing again and again even after removing several time showing the criminal acts of users. These users can be easily judged that they are targeting Queen of hearts. Authentic media or newspaper never reported such marriage. A researcher and documentary maker on Nazia Hassan's life ahmad_haseeb never talked about such facts. It is very clear that article has been vandalized as personal target. Interestingly New York marriage records are mentioning Nazia's marriage with Ishtiaq baig but the marriage was took place at Pakistan and in London. New York marriages record keep the records of marriages that took place in New York only. Website resource is not authentic and it can be distorted for personal benefits.

A tag has been placed on your user page, User talk:Alexander.schliker, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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.
Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I've been trying to create a page for myself on Wikipedia. I'm new to Wikipedia so please bear with me. Could you let me know *specifically* what I did wrong in the most recent edit which you have once again removed? I took out the link to my website from the previous submission, which I can see could be considered self-promotion. However, the rest of the article was merely a summary of my life thus far, a biography if you will. Please let me know what I need to do to have it approved and not deleted yet again. I'm also not sure how my editing is "disruptive" as you claimed in your message. I'm certainly not trying to be disruptive.
