WikiCup 2024 July newsletter

The third round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 June. As with Round 2, this round was competitive: each of the 16 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 256 points.

The following editors all scored more than 400 points in Round 3:

The full scores for round 3 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 28 featured articles, 38 featured lists, 240 good articles, 92 in the news credits, and at least 285 did you know credits. They have conducted 279 featured article reviews, as well as 492 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 22 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed during Round 4, which starts on 1 July at 00:00 (UTC). 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 for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Correction

I just wanted to let you know that you've made a minor mistake in your ArbCom comment. I've left a comment here rather than on that page because I didn't want to clog it up, but please let me know if I should have made a comment on the ArbCom page instead.

In the comment The way they did so was wrong, because Schwede66 advised Panamitsu to introduce errors into articles to bait Alexeyevitch into interacting with those errors you've mixed me and Alexeyevitch up. I was not advised to add errors, thanks :) ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:19, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

@Panamitsu: I did, thanks. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 11:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
