The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hello, Red-tailed hawk. Just wanted to say that you have one of the best user pages here. The photo is fantastic. I've had hawks land by me when in the woods, but your page is better than the real thing. With the barnstars underneath ... truly an A+ page. Thanks again for the revert earlier, at least the vandal got me to see something nice today. Stay well. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:36, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! All credit for the hawk goes to Rhododendrites, whose photographs and other contributions to Wikimedia projects I am deeply grateful for. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Red-tailed hawk. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Tellus (app), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you check what you want rev-del applied to on Raja Rao. I think you've removed the wrong section and left all the text about The cat and Shakespeare which appears to be a copyvio of https://www.indianetzone.com/16/the_cat_shakespeare_raja_rao.htm while removing the section on Kanthapura.

@Nthep: Fixed. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:27, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I performed the WP:RD1 deletion of two revisions as noted. Can you please check if this was correctly done? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:54, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EdJohnston!

Thank you for performing the RD1. Because of my mistake, the offending wikitext remained in these three edits. Can you revdel them as well?

Done. Nthep (talk) 19:38, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
