WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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. Good luck!

Image uploads

Hey, it is general precedent on Wikipedia that images should be in the png format, which usually displays a better quality than jpgs. You can browse through the artworks of Dua's prior singles and notice this. Hope I didn't step on any toes by replacing it with the png image. Have a nice day.--N Ø 13:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MaranoFan thanks, I didn't know this, I didn't know how to convert the image into png. Alex ^{reach me!} 13:23, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alex!! Great job on both "Medellín" and your current expansion of Madame X. I wanna help when you're done with the tour's article. So let me know! Cheers and regards! --Christian (talk) 17:12, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 Hey! Actually I need help on Madame X, if you could help me, I would appreciate it! Regards Alex ^{reach me!} 01:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alex @11JORN:! Sure let me know which sections! I can start if not tomorrow Monday!--Christian (talk) 02:28, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 you could do the Background and Recording sections Alex ^{reach me!} 02:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@11JORN: sure; I’ll start on Monday. BTW are you gonna expande “Erotica” based on the Spanish article? --Christian (talk) 04:26, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 Yes it's about time. Would love your collaboration on this one too Alex ^{reach me!} 04:54, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@11JORN: Regarding "Erotica" and the rest (I suppose you plan to expand "Deeper and Deeper" and "Bad Girl" as well) I really don't know. LOL I kinda take pride in knowing they were GA in Spanish first :P I think I'll let you finish those and when you're done I'll give them a reread and do minor corrections. Eventually I'd like to correct/expand the rest of the Good articles on the English wiki; some of them are very incomplete (ie. "Holiday", "Burning Up", "Lucky Star", "Like a Virgin", etc) - and they're supposed to be good articles. In Spanish there are plenty of featured Madonna articles (The main Madonna article, the first album, Like a Virgin, True Blue, "Like a Prayer" and Erotica). Eventually I wanna get more FA in Spanish (Like a Prayer, Ray of Light and Confessions) - I've thought of expanding those articles here in the English wiki but I guess I'm too lazy. Eventually I'll do them. Some day haha. But yeah, count on it with the Madame X sections. Then after that it's the tour. Shame there aren't anymore pictures of that one. I'll start if not tomorrow, Tuesday. Work is a little heavy. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers Alex! --Christian (talk) 18:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 Yeah I'm considering translating "Deeper and Deeper" and "Bad Girl" too, and then work on "Fever", but only after we're done with the Madame X articles. I've thought about delaying the tour article after the DVD/Blu-ray release, but it's only a thought, let me know what you think. Alex ^{reach me!} 22:11, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@11JORN: LOL and I've recently started working on that tour's sandbox; I believe it's OK to (and we should) expand it and when the DVD's announced released we can just add it in. What do you say?--Christian (talk) 23:59, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 Hey! Yes I saw it, I think it's a good idea to start now Alex ^{reach me!} 00:42, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 I think we should split the critical reception section from the tour in two, for the shows in America and the shows in Europe. Alex ^{reach me!} 05:54, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@11JORN: I think we can divide reception into two - critical and commercial. The commercial can easily sum up reviews from both US and Europe as there weren't that many countries visited, like Drowned World Tour. What say you?--Christian (talk) 16:11, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Justify My Love

Hi @11JORN:! Great work on your 'Justify My Love' sandbox! Let me know if you need help! Are you done with "Erotica" and Madame X? If you don't mind, may I suggest finishing one project before moving on to the next? It could make your work a lot whole easier :) --Christian (talk) 17:48, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks! I think those sandboxes need more work, but I’m concentrated on Justify for this week... but yeah Im gonna work on them later Chrishm21 Alex ^{reach me!} 01:39, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

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

Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

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.

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire.

In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points.

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.

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.

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 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. 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.

"Ciega, Sordomuda" and "Tu"

Hey there 11JORN, it's been a while. I'm working on a personal project where I work on songs that reached #1 on the Latin pop songs in chronological order. Right now, I'm in 1998, so Shakira's "Ciega Sordomuda" and "Tu" are on my to-do list among other songs. If you'd like to work together on the songs, just let me know. @WikiRedactor: for old time's sake as well, if you ever have the time. Erick (talk) 00:28, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also 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. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter

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:

Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

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.

Madonna

Hi Alex! How are, how you've been? I wanted to ask if you planned on working on more Madonna articles; I recently expanded "Erotica" and once that one gets promoted to GA, we will be one article away from having an Erotica good topic. All that would be missing is "Fever". I want to work on that one as well, but since is a cover, IDK nor am I interested in expanding the information regarding the original and other covers. Would you be interested on helping me with that one? Or do you know anyone who would? I look forward to your answer. Cheers!! Christian (talk) 16:01, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 Hi!! I've been so busy with college so I didn't have time to edit anymore... I'm a bit lost at this moment, I don't know what to do first LOL. I've noticed that "Sorry" and "Get Together" have been delisted as good articles like two years ago (wow!) and I'm planning on rewriting both articles, then finishing "Justify My Love"... Best regards Alex ^{reach me!} 00:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's great to hear! How's college going? Would you be interested in working on "Fever"? Once 'Erotica' gets promoted to GA I'm gonna re-write/expand the rest of the era's articles. So much information that's been left out of many articles; afterwards maybe I'll return to work on more Spanish articles, but we'll see. Hope everything is going well --Christian (talk) 17:38, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 That's my last year at college, so I'm not getting much free time atm. I'm really interested in working on "Fever"! But I don't know if I'll have time to do this one, since I only have a month before returning to classes in August, and I really wanna work on some Portuguese articles besides the Madonna ones, but we'll see.

DYK for Get Together (Madonna song)

On 1 November 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Get Together (Madonna song), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the limited radio airplay of "Get Together" in the US spawned a petition, outrage, and conspiracy theories among Madonna fans? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Get Together (Madonna song). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Get Together (Madonna song)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

WikiCup 2022 November newsletter

The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The 2022 champion is

Lee Vilenski (1752 points), who won in 2020 and was runner up in both 2019 and last year. In the final round he achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on cue sports. He was closely followed by
Bloom6132 (1732), who specialised in "In the news" items and DYKs, and who has reached the final round of the Cup for the past three years. Next was
BennyOnTheLoose (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by
Muboshgu (1082), an "In the news" contributor, a seasoned contestant who first took part in the Cup ten years ago. Other finalists were
Sammi Brie (930), who scored with a featured article, good articles and DYKs on TV and radio stations,

During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors.

So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.

Lee Vilenski wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round.
Kavyansh.Singh wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
Adam Cuerden wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.
Z1720 wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed on the discussion page. You are invited to sign up to take part in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition.

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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.

Chrishm21 Hi! I’m opposed to this idea, because in my opinion the infobox would get too long with two covers and overlap the other sections. Also, many recent releases received varied covers and they’re not used as well, for example Folklore, Midnights, and Smile, and also Madonna’s own recent albums the alternate covers are mentioned but not used.

Chrishm21 I was thinking maybe one of the EDM tracks ("God Control" or "I Don't Search I Find") and one of the Portugal based, it could be "Batuka", "Come Alive", "Crazy", we got many options, so the diverse genres could be represented.

DYK for Justify My Love

On 16 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Justify My Love, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the music video for the song "Justify My Love" was banned from appearing on MTV, MuchMusic, and Musique Plus for its sexual imagery? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Justify My Love. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Justify My Love), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Favor

Hi Alex, how are you? I'd like to ask a favor of you: Some of the Madonna articles I've worked on (first 5 singles) have some sources marked "missing timestamp"; I've ried to correct them but I can't seem to find the mistake. Could you help me look into it? Thank you!! Christian (talk) 13:36, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 Hi! There was something wrong with the archive dates, somehow. The same thing happened with references on some of my sandboxes and I still don't know what happened. I'm correcting them now. Alex ^{reach me!} 20:59, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@11JORN: Alex, thank you so so much for that. Mind if I ask of you to fix the one on the Madonna tours and Cher's One By One? (if you can't that's OK, just let me know how I can fix them) :) Thank you!! --Christian (talk) 02:13, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 it’s very easy: you just need to check the archived date on Wayback Machine and correct on the refs. Alex ^{reach me!} 16:59, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 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!

Hey!

Hey you guys! I know I’ve been absent for a while and missed many stuff in relation to the articles I had nominated for GA, but there’s an explanation for this, so bear with me… This last year was such a mess for me both profissional and personally. I graduated in Law in early 2023, but I wasn’t able to find any job in my city. That frustrated me so much that it sent me into a very poor state of mental health, and that’s why I turned to (re)writing articles here, cause it’s one of the things I love doing the most… and how many they were! However, my life took an unexpected turn in January, when I got my first job in in a big city here in Brazil after graduating. That’s a huge deal for me as it’s my first time living by myself (and in a big city!). During my free time I’m trying to concentrate on studying and obviously trying to keep a social life, and a healthy mind and body. I want to come back someday, but I’m so busy right now that I don’t think it’s gonna be possible anytime soon… so except for a few minor edits, I’m gonna be absent for a while, and I hope you can understand me.

My best regards, Alex ^{reach me!} 20:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dang, I was gonna ask if you wanted to work on "Whenever, Wherever" with me. Erick (talk) 18:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Magiciandude Hi! I'm afraid I won't have the time to help you properly. But I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job on this one. Alex ^{reach me!} 20:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
