Clarification
Hi. I just felt the need to clarify that despite disagreeing with you on several points in that heated debate for keeping or deleting the article, I have much respect for you as an experienced contributor. I think the whole thing was really going off topic and people may assume bad faith, so I wanted to put an end to any potential tensions that might have risen because of the arguments. Regardless of what the outcome is, your opinions and contributions are appreciated. :) Keivan.fTalk 16:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- No worries. Nothing personal from my side either. You are also from what I can see a great editor and a great contributor to Wikipedia. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want an opinion on an article or a question etc. Take care.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:06, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Archiving my talkpage
Hi! Do you think that you can archive my page for me? I would do so myself, but do not yet know how to. Davidgoodheart (talk) 09:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Just so we are clear. You mean that you want your talk page archived every 2 weeks or so?--BabbaQ (talk) 09:10, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- So, I have added the archive bot to your talk page. It will archive every thread that has no new posts up to two weeks on your talk page. But there will always be at least 4 threads on your talk page. Feel free to change how often your bot should archive and how many threads you want at any time.--BabbaQ (talk) 09:50, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Also note that the bot does one drive throughout Wikipedia every night at about 02.00 (CET) and then archives the threads.--BabbaQ (talk) 09:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for archiving my talkpage. A while ago you said you could help me with editing. I do need help adding entries to lists, is this something that you are able to help with? It would sure make it a lot easier for me as I just can't do all this editing by myself. Davidgoodheart (talk) 09:31, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Send me the links and I will take a look at it at least. BabbaQ (talk) 18:51, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Looking for help
Hi,
I was looking for some small help. I created an article en:Kithaab (French fr:Kithaab/ German de:Kithaab) -a play about women rights issues- which has been copy edited and is ready for translation in various languages. Looking for your possible help in translating the article en:Kithaab to your language Wikipedia. If you are unable to spare time yourself then may be you like to refer the same to some other translator.
Thanking you, with warm regards
Bookku (talk) 08:08, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Sure. I take a look at it today! BabbaQ (talk) 08:26, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your valuable response. Looking forward to your possible help in the translations. Bookku (talk) 06:22, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I am already working on it. I ping you when done. BabbaQ (talk) 08:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- After some time trying to work on this I have decided that it is better that you contact some other editor that might have more knowledge about this obscure topic. Like user Paracel63. Contact him. I hope you find help, otherwise contact me again and I will try to refer you to someone else.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or something 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk).

Regarding your Melodifestivalen song articles
Hi BabbaQ. I see you've recently created a few articles for Melodifestivalen entries for this year. Please note it is never appropriate to assume and add a genre to an article. These are always contentious descriptions, even if they're broad like "pop" or "rock" and should always be sourced. Please remove any unsourced genres from articles you have created and refrain from adding them in the future per WP:V. Your efforts to expand Wikipedia's coverage of non-Western topics is appreciated, but repeated additions of unsourced information are not okay. Thank you. Ss112 00:02, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for Creating Robinson 2021 Article
Hi BabbaQ, I just wanted to thank you for creating the article for Robinson 2021. Good job! If you need any help with the article, feel free to ask. I'll try my best to help if I'm not busy. Thanks again for creating the article. Nintenga (talk) 17:16, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- You’re welcome. I just notice a few days ago that no one had created the article yet. It will be interesting to see the contestants in Sweden. Feel free to update the article. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 May newsletter
The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
- The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
- Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
- Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
- Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
- Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
- Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.- Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All, but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are .svg){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, 
BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and 
Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. .jpg){kind=small}
Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror, but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4, but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).
