La tercera ronda de la WikiCup 2019 ya ha llegado a su fin. Los 16 usuarios que llegaron a la cuarta ronda debían obtener al menos 68 puntos, lo que es sustancialmente menor que los 227 puntos del año pasado. Nuestros máximos anotadores en la ronda 3 fueron:
Cas Liber , nuestro ganador en 2016, con 500 puntos derivados principalmente de un artículo destacado y dos GA sobre temas de historia natural
Adam Cuerden , con 480 puntos, un cómputo construido a partir de 16 imágenes destacadas, fruto de un meticuloso trabajo de restauración.
SounderBruce , finalista en los últimos dos años, con 306 puntos de una variedad de presentaciones, en su mayoría relacionadas con el deporte o el estado de Washington.
Nombre de usuario único , con 305 puntos derivados de un artículo destacado y dos GA sobre arqueología y temas relacionadosLos participantes consiguieron 4 (5) artículos destacados, 4 listas destacadas, 18 imágenes destacadas, 29 buenos artículos, 50 entradas DYK, 9 entradas ITN y 39 buenas reseñas de artículos. 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 de haberlos "ganado", y es imperativo reclamarlos en la ronda correcta; un reclamo de FA tuvo que ser rechazado porque se envió incorrectamente (reclamado en la ronda 3 cuando calificaba para la ronda 2), ¡así que ten cuidado! Al hacer GAR, asegúrate de verificar que se cumplan todos los criterios de GA.
Si le preocupa que su nominación (ya sea en el marco de una buena convocatoria de artículos, un proceso destacado o cualquier otra cosa) no reciba las críticas 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 en un frenesí de actividad de último minuto, con 454 puntos necesarios para clasificarse para la ronda final. Fue una ronda muy competitiva en la que se eliminaron dos concursantes con más de 400 puntos y todos los finalistas, excepto dos, consiguieron un FA durante la ronda. Casliber , nuestro ganador de 2016, fue el que obtuvo la mayor puntuación, seguido de Enwebb y Lee Vilenski , que son nuevos en la competición. En cuarto lugar quedó SounderBruce , finalista el año pasado. Pero todos esos puntos se esfumaron mientras empezamos de nuevo para la ronda final.
En la cuarta ronda se obtuvieron 11 artículos destacados. Además, Adam Cuerden obtuvo 18 FP, Lee Vilenski lideró la puntuación de GA con 8 GA, mientras que Kosack realizó 15 revisiones de GA. Hubo alrededor de 40 DYK, 40 GAR y 31 GA en total durante la cuarta ronda. Aunque los participantes realizaron más GAR de los que lograron GA, todavía hubo cierta frustración por el tiempo que tomó para que los artículos fueran revisados.
Al comenzar la quinta ronda, nos despedimos de los ocho competidores que no lograron clasificarse; les agradecemos por las útiles contribuciones que han hecho a la Copa y a Wikipedia, y esperamos que se unan a nosotros nuevamente el próximo año. Recuerden 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. Recuerden también que deben reclamar sus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a su "obtención" (algunas personas no cumplieron con esta regla y los puntos fueron eliminados).
Si le preocupa que su nominación, ya sea por un buen artículo, un proceso destacado o cualquier otra cosa, no reciba las revisiones necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (recuerde eliminar su nominación cuando ya no sea necesaria).

Y así termina la primera ronda de la competición. Todos los que obtengan una puntuación positiva pasan a la segunda ronda, en la que se clasifican 57 concursantes. Este año hemos eliminado los grupos, por lo que para clasificarse para la tercera ronda, tendrás que terminar la segunda ronda entre los treinta y dos mejores concursantes.
Nuestros máximos goleadores en la Ronda 1 fueron:
Epicgenius , un recién llegado a WikiCup, lideró el campo con un artículo destacado, cinco buenos artículos y una variedad de otras presentaciones, especializándose en edificios y ubicaciones de Nueva York, para un total de 895 puntos..svg/1280px-Royal_standard_of_England_(1406%E2%80%931603).svg.png){kind=small}
Gog the Mild llegó a continuación con 464 puntos, provenientes de un artículo destacado, dos buenos artículos y varias reseñas, siendo el tema principal la guerra naval. Raymie quedó en tercer lugar con 419 puntos, obtenidos gracias a un buen artículo y unos impresionantes 34 DYK en estaciones de radio y televisión en los Estados Unidos.
Harrias llegó a continuación en el puesto 414, con un artículo destacado y tres buenos artículos, un especialista en batallas de la guerra civil inglesa.
CaptainEek quedó en quinto lugar con 405 puntos, en su mayoría obtenidos por llevar a Cactus wren al estado de artículo destacado. L293D ,
Rey sif , Enwebb , Lee Vilenski y
CAPITÁN MEDUSA . Siete de los diez mejores concursantes de la Ronda 1 son nuevos en la WikiCup.Estos concursantes, como todos los demás, ahora tienen que empezar a sumar puntos desde cero. En la Ronda 1 hubo cuatro artículos destacados, una lista destacada y dos imágenes destacadas, así como alrededor de doscientos DYK y veintisiete ITN. Entre todos ellos, los concursantes completaron 127 buenas reseñas de artículos, casi cien más que los 43 buenos artículos que reclamaron, lo que hizo una mella sustancial en la acumulación de reseñas. Los concursantes también reclamaron 40 reseñas de artículos destacados / listas destacadas, y la mayoría incluso se acordó de mencionar su participación en WikiCup en sus reseñas (un requisito).
Recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la Ronda 1 pero antes del inicio de la Ronda 2 puede reclamarse en la Ronda 2. Algunos concursantes hicieron reclamos antes de que se crearan las nuevas páginas de envíos, y deberán volver a enviarlos. Las invitaciones para trabajos de escritura colaborativa o cualquier otra discusión sobre trabajos potencialmente interesantes siempre son bienvenidas en la página de discusión de WikiCup. Recuerda, si dos o más concursantes de WikiCup han realizado un trabajo significativo en un artículo, todos pueden reclamar puntos. Si te preocupa que tu nominación, ya sea en Buenos candidatos para artículos, un proceso destacado o en cualquier otro lugar, no reciba las revisiones necesarias, inclúyela en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reseñas .

Hubo un error en el boletín de marzo de WikiCup 2020; L293D no debería haber sido incluido en la lista de los diez mejores goleadores en la Ronda 1 (lideraron la lista el año pasado), en cambio, Dunkleosteus77 debería haber sido incluido, ya que obtuvo 334 puntos gracias a cinco buenos artículos sobre animales, vivos o extintos, y varias reseñas. Entrega de mensajes de MediaWiki ( discusión ) 09:30 2 mar 2020 (UTC)
La segunda ronda de la WikiCup 2020 ya ha finalizado. Fue una ronda de alto puntaje y los concursantes necesitaban 75 puntos para avanzar a la ronda 3. Hubo algunos esfuerzos muy impresionantes en la ronda 2, con los diez mejores concursantes puntuando más de 500 puntos. Una gran cantidad de los puntos provinieron de los 12 artículos destacados y los 186 buenos artículos logrados en total por los concursantes, y las 355 buenas revisiones de artículos que realizaron; la campaña de acumulación de trabajo de GAN y el imperativo de quedarse en casa durante la pandemia de COVID-19 pueden haber sido parcialmente responsables de estas impresionantes cifras.
Nuestros máximos goleadores en la ronda 2 fueron:
Epicgenius , con 2333 puntos de un artículo destacado, cuarenta y cinco buenos artículos, catorce DYK y muchos puntos de bonificación Gog the Mild , con 1784 puntos de tres artículos destacados, ocho buenos artículos, una cantidad sustancial de artículos destacados y buenas reseñas de artículos y muchos puntos de bonificación
The Rambling Man , con 1262 puntos de dos artículos destacados, ocho buenos artículos y cien buenas reseñas de artículos Harrias , con 1141 puntos de dos artículos destacados, tres listas destacadas, diez buenos artículos, nueve DYK y una cantidad sustancial de artículos destacados y buenas reseñas de artículos. Lee Vilenski con 869 puntos,
Granja de cerdos con 801, Kingsif con 719, SounderBruce con 710, Dunkleosteus77 con 608 y
MX con 515.Se han ajustado las reglas para las reseñas de artículos destacados; las reseñas pueden cubrir tres aspectos del artículo, contenido, imágenes y fuentes, y los participantes pueden recibir puntos por cada uno de estos tres tipos de reseñas. Recuerde también el requisito de mencionar la WikiCup cuando realice una FAR por la que desee reclamar puntos. Recuerde también que los DYK no se pueden reclamar hasta que hayan aparecido en la página principal. A medida que entramos en la tercera ronda, cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 2 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 3 se puede reclamar ahora, ¡y cualquier cosa que haya olvidado reclamar en la ronda 2 no! Recuerde también que debe reclamar sus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a "obtenerlos". Al realizar GAR, asegúrese de verificar que se cumplan todos los criterios de GA.
Si le preocupa que su nominación (ya sea en el marco de una buena convocatoria de artículos, un proceso destacado o cualquier otra cosa) no reciba las críticas necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (recuerde eliminar su inclusión cuando ya no sea necesaria).

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 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).

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!

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".

La WikiCup 2020 ha llegado a su fin y la ronda final se ha decidido. Nuestro nuevo campeón es Lee Vilenski ( presentaciones ), finalista el año pasado, seguido de cerca por Gog el Suave ( presentaciones ). En la ronda final, Lee logró 4 FA y 30 GA, la mayoría sobre temas de taco deportivo, mientras que Gog logró 3 FA y 15 GA, la mayoría sobre batallas y guerras importantes, lo que le valió una gran cantidad de puntos de bonificación.

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.

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). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

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.

Hello, I'm Beardbrarian. I'm part of a small team of Iowa State University library staff, along with HematISU, that are working on Wikipedia, following the guidelines laid out in Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Cultural_Professionals. The edit HematISU made yesterday, was to future-proof an existing citation to one of our finding aids by changing it from a direct link to an Archival Resource Key or ARK. Over the years, our library has hosted finding aids at various URLs, some older links from Wikipedia point to www.add.lib.iastate.edu and are now broken because that URL has changed. The prior Kniskern Mather link pointed to findingaids.lib.iastate.edu, which is no longer the current home of our finding aids. While the link currently works, the platform it links to will be retired eventually. The link HematISU added points to the current platform for finding aids, cardinal.lib.iastate.edu, which will almost certainly be replaced by something else in the future, if past practices hold. When that happens we will update the ARK to point to the new location and the ARK, but the link in Wikipedia will not need to be changed.
The purpose of updating Wikipedia links to ISU library resources to ARKs is to reduce dead links in Wikipedia and to reduce the burden on Wikipedia editors to update external links as URLs change. We are only making such changes for links to resources managed by the ISU library. This is very similar to the use of DOIs throughout Wikipedia to link to resources.
May we restore HematISU's edit?

You would be right; I thought I was reverting the vandalism. I was using Huggle, and I believe what may have happened was that there was a delay between ClueBot reverting the vandalism and me still seeing the vandalised revision so choosing to revert it, also! Thank you for clearing that one up for me. :-) Patient Zerotalk 03:27, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi there,
I just uploaded the album cover for This Wild Willing by Glen Hansard (incredible album, strongly recommended listening, but I digress). I couldn't figure out how to reduce the file size before I initially uploaded, so I did so with a resolution of 700px2; I managed to reduce the resolution to 300px2 after uploading, but I would like for an administrator to please delete the previous version because it is now orphaned NFC. (If anyone has any suggestions of how I could reduce the resolution of a file before uploading it, I would welcome that, too.) Thank you, Dylan620 (he/him) (talk) 17:48, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

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. 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.

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. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; 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 the remaining competitors, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5.

You requested an RD1. I declined it as the listed sites appear to be public domain. Do you think I'm missing something? S Philbrick(Talk) 00:49, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
You requested an RD1 for United States Army Sniper School
One of the sites you listed: https://www.benning.army.mil/Armor/316thCav/Sniper/Description.html Is a public domain website, so that should not be reverted or subject to an RD1.
The other site you listed: https://snipercentral.com/u-s-army-sniper-school-ft-benning/
Would be eligible for reversion and RD one but I'd want you to make absolutely sure that the material found that site was not also found at the public domain site. S Philbrick(Talk) 00:54, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

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 03:57, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

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" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. George Ho (talk) 02:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

On 17 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ghost in the Machine (song), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that one critic interpreted a SZA song as being about her fears about the growing influence of AI in the music industry? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ghost in the Machine (song). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ghost in the Machine (song)), 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.

Hello there! I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes.
There is a large and important discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers!
If you wish to participate, please visit: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Possible F5/EF5/IF5 tornadoes. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 16:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I have been looking at the Pacific hurricane season timelines that you've been making and promoting to FL. It had inspired me to start a draft on the timeline of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season in an attempt to make my first FL. The problem is that there has never been a Pacific typhoon season timeline that has been promoted to FL, so I had to base the timeline off other timelines of different basins. I have finished the timeline of events (besides a few missing landfalls) and just need to add images to it.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on what the draft should be like, while also considering the amount of systems and events during the season. I would also greatly appreciate you editing the draft, but I'll leave that up to you. —JCMLuis 💬 17:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
