Re https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Insulting_a_monument
Not neutral and UNDUE. See my today's quick mobile edits that it such laws or regulations govern worldwide.
Thanks. I have taken it to the Talk page. Still, I think it is UNDUE, given our earlier exchange there. Zezen (talk) 16:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Please take a look at it now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profaning_a_monument#Polish_Law
I posit that the original name and the content of the article itself was a WP:HOAX, as per:
Wikipedia requires material to be verifiable to a reliable published source. If challenged, the burden is on the original author to prove the claims in the article.
see its history and Talk why so.
In summary: this HOAX stemmed from the clever usage of a WP:OR own translation of the Polish Criminal Code article supplemented with non-WP:RS translated blogs to claim that it is a unique occurrence which must be advertised as such via Wikipedia to the world. Also its author did not prove their claims when challenged against scholarly sources claiming otherwise.
Please thus be on the lookout for similar attempts at WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, more precisely this case:
[Do not] explain (what you perceive to be) the truth or reality of a current or historical political, religious, or moral issue, ... until it's been reported in mainstream media or published in books from reputable publishing houses [as such, that is under the original article's name]
Bows,

Please address the HOAX charge above. Zezen (talk) 13:46, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
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 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Welcome to the fourteenth newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
We deployed the "Guidance" feature on June 15.
This feature uses the help panel to explain what to do after selecting a suggested edit. For instance, if a newcomer selects a copyedit task, they are guided on what sorts of errors to look for. They can see examples of how to rewrite the text. You can try this feature on test.wikipedia.org. First enable the homepage and the help panel in your preferences there.
Since we launched "Guidance", the data we collected show good results (see image). Now, we see more users completing suggested edits than before Guidance was deployed.
Structured tasks is a project that aims to break down editing workflows into a series of steps. We hope newcomers can accomplish these tasks easily.
In the previous newsletter, we asked for feedback from community members on the idea. We had a good discussion in six languages with 35 community members (summary here). We have now posted new design mockups. We hope community members can check the mockups out and react to them (in any language). They are posted along with some of the main questions we are thinking about as we continue to refine our plans.
