Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated. Contestants put in extraordinary amounts of effort during this round, and their scores can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 36 featured articles, 55 featured lists, 15 good articles, 93 in the news credits, and at least 333 did you know credits. They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to featured topics and good topics.
Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September 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. 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. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.

BoT Elections?
Hi, when adding to the signpost yesterday, I noticed the BoT elections (starting tomorrow) are not in the news and notes. I am kinda new to the Signpost editing, so wasn't sure where to look if the topic was already covered elsewhere. Ciell (talk) 09:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Ciell Hello! Yes, we already wrote about it on the July 4 issue; in fact, there was also a whole Op-Ed about it.
- By the way, thank you for helping out with the up-coming issue! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 12:54, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, great!
- I understood after the additions I did, that I need to declare possible COI, and am involved in both topics. If you would decide to rewrite (as your colleague already partially did), or discard the additions because of this I would understand! Just wasn't aware of this rule before I added the topics. Ciell (talk) 12:58, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Ciell To be fair, there shouldn't be much of a problem, but I would suggest you to leave a note at the Newsroom's talk page, just to make sure! Oltrepier (talk) 13:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
