La tercera ronda de la WikiCup 2020 ya ha llegado a su fin. Los 16 usuarios que pasaron a la cuarta ronda tenían al menos 353 puntos cada uno (en comparación con los 68 de 2019). Fue una ronda muy competitiva y se eliminaron varios concursantes que habrían pasado a la siguiente ronda en años anteriores. Nuestros máximos anotadores en la ronda 3 fueron:
Epicgenius , con un artículo destacado, 28 buenos artículos y 17 DYK, acumulando 1836 puntos
The Rambling Man , con 1672 puntos obtenidos a partir de cuatro artículos destacados y diecisiete buenos artículos, además de reseñas de una gran cantidad de FAC y GA.svg/1280px-Royal_standard_of_England_(1406%E2%80%931603).svg.png){kind=small}
Gog the Mild , concursante por primera vez, con 1540 puntos, un recuento basado en gran medida en 4 artículos destacados y puntos de bonificación relacionados.Entre todos ellos, los concursantes lograron 14 artículos destacados, 9 listas destacadas, 3 imágenes destacadas, 152 buenos artículos, 136 entradas DYK, 55 entradas ITN, 65 reseñas de candidatos a artículos destacados y 221 buenas reseñas de artículos. Además,
MPJ-DK agregó 3 artículos a los temas destacados y 44 a los buenos temas. A lo largo de la competencia, los concursantes completaron 710 buenas revisiones de artículos, en comparación con los 387 buenos artículos enviados para revisión y promocionados. Estas grandes cifras probablemente estén relacionadas con una campaña de acumulación de artículos de GAN en abril y mayo, y los patrones modificados de edición durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Al entrar en la cuarta ronda, recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 3 pero antes del inicio de la ronda 4 se puede reclamar en la ronda 4. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a "ganarlos". Al realizar GAR, asegúrate de verificar que se cumplan todos los criterios de GA. Recuerda también que todos los envíos deben cumplir con las políticas básicas de Wikipedia, independientemente del proceso de revisión.
Si le preocupa que su nominación (ya sea en una convocatoria de buenos artículos, en un proceso destacado o en cualquier otro lugar) no reciba las revisiones necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (recuerde eliminar su inclusión cuando ya no sea necesaria). Las preguntas son bienvenidas en Wikipedia talk:WikiCup y los jueces están disponibles en sus páginas de discusión o por correo electrónico. ¡Buena suerte!

La cuarta ronda de la competición ha finalizado, y para clasificarse para la ronda final se necesitan 865 puntos, casi el doble que el año pasado. Fue una ronda muy competitiva, en la que dos concursantes con 598 y 605 puntos fueron eliminados, y todos los concursantes que llegaron a la ronda final, excepto dos, habían conseguido un FA durante la ronda. Los que obtuvieron la puntuación más alta fueron
Bloom6132 , con 1478 puntos obtenidos principalmente en 5 listas destacadas, 12 DYK y 63 en las noticias;
HaEr48 con 1318 puntos obtenidos principalmente de 2 artículos destacados, 5 buenos artículos y 8 DYK;
Lee Vilenski con 1201 puntos obtenidos principalmente de 2 artículos destacados y 10 buenos artículos.En total, los participantes obtuvieron 14 artículos destacados, 14 listas destacadas, 2 imágenes destacadas, 87 buenos artículos, 90 entradas DYK, 75 entradas ITN, 95 reseñas de candidatos a artículos destacados y 81 buenas reseñas de artículos. ¡Felicitaciones a todos los que participaron! En general, fue una ronda productiva y con puntajes altos y creo que podemos esperar un final muy competitivo para la competencia.
Recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 4 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 5 puede reclamarse en la ronda 5. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 10 días posteriores a haberlos "ganado".

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..svg/1280px-Standard_of_Oliver_Cromwell_(1653%E2%80%931659).svg.png){kind=small}
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!

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).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2003 Pacific hurricane season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Puerto Escondido. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

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. .jpg/1280px-Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_(Berlin).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.

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..svg/1280px-Flag_of_Provo,_Utah_(1989%E2%80%932015).svg.png){kind=small}
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.

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.

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.

I have nominated Hurricane Esther for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:58, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi there - I proposed some updates to the David Copperfield article back in February here. Since the Request edits queue seems to be stalled and you’re a member of WP:LAS, I was wondering if you’d be interested in reviewing my proposals? I can’t do it myself because of a COI. Thanks very much. MagicTech1902 (talk) 15:09, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring.

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.
We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 03:07, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello Yellow Evan As a Las Vegas resident you might have heard of The Sphere, the new futuristic building in LV. For the article it would be nice to have not only a proper picture of this now finished building, but also a little video (in a gif-format at best). See the discussion here. Would you do this? I ask you, because you are one of only three of Category:Wikipedians in Las Vegas, who was active in 2023. If you do, know that the Sphere is only activated during the evening and night. Please let me know, if you would make a video of it, prefereably when the Sphere changes its appearance. Best regards, LennBr (talk) 11:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
