WikiCup 2022 September newsletter

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and 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 and within 24 hours of the end of the final. 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 your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Help if possible

Hello. I would like to withdraw my AFD nomination for Olivia Tjandramulia after someone added a bunch of citations to it. I've put the withdrawn by nominator tag on it but don't know if I'm supposed to tell someone or do something else and if so, what and/or who? Can you help or advise please? Shrug02 (talk) 21:58, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shrug02: no worries at all, I have closed this one as a keep. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:02, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I request a deletion review?

@Spiderone I'm useless with technology and this Wikipedia set up is so complicated. Can you tell me in basic how to request an AFD be reviewed? Shrug02 (talk) 11:19, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shrug02: please follow these instructions to the letter and it should be sorted. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:34, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Spiderone Thanks. Too complicated for me. I quit. Wikipedia mirrors life. Some people do what they like and get away with it. Sorry to have bothered you. Have a great day 🙂 Shrug02 (talk) 12:01, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another good editor lost. *sigh* Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
