And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:
The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.
So, on to the second round. 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 equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything 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 help keep down the review backlogs!

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.
So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. 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 equally.

Hi, Bcschneider. I have to say that I don't personally see the article as being of FA standard. It's hard to put a finger on it, but I just don't have a feeling that it's there. Even if you look at some of the FAs we have on races, they just look more fully developed than this one. I'm proud of this article and think it's a good GA, but that's as far as it goes. Sorry if this provides a shock, but I have to call them like I see them or I won't be very credible as a reviewer. Giants2008 ( Talk) 13:17, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for The American Bible Challenge, "a Biblical-themed game show that aired on Game Show Network from 2012 to 2014.

The series received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination and broke several ratings records for GSN over its three seasons."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:55, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
Nothing that I said in my comment was untrue. Danica has one win in more than 300 races. She has never won in NASCAR and has seldom been competitive. As a driver she is mediocre at best. What I said here in my edit change the other day was totally true.
I posted it knowing full well it would probably not "stick."
I can understand your unwillingness to leave my comment.
Still it seems to me that without such information the article about her is somewhat less than honest.
If Danica, with her record, were male, hardly any attention would be paid to her.
I would feel very differently about her if I saw ANY improvement. But there has been none. And in my view, she is not a very nice person based upon her frequent negative public comments and her nastiness toward fans who pay good money to see her and deserve better treatment.
And there have been other female drivers who have had more than one win.
Considering her record, I find it a stretch to call Danica "successful," except in terms of the money that she has made. If I am "not neutral" then so be it, but I find it hard to consider her "successful" with 1 win in more than 300 races and no wins in NASCAR.
Anyway, thank you for your message. And in advance for reading this reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.161.182.9 ( talk) 18:59, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.
Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

Hi Bcschneider53. I apologize for not citing a source for the confirmed drivers list for NASCAR Heat 2. I apologize since I was in a hurry to do this. I would also like to say that I am new to editing in Wikipedia so please excuse me for not adding the source since I am still new at this. There is a source however. The website is "www.nascarheat.com" The specific pages for the drivers list is "www.nascarheat.com/nascar-xfinity-series/" and " http://www.nascarheat.com/nascar-camping-world-truck-series/" 704Games have recently also added the confirmed drivers list for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers, yet they have not updated their website. I currently still do not have the time availability to list the sources on the Wikipedia page. If you have the availability to add the source I would greatly appreciate it! I have seen your page and now know that you are a student, so if you are not available at this time that is fine.

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

I looked through my Watchlist today and saw you went through basically every article I've created/redirected/so that they're included under the WikiProject:AOWR guidelines. Thank you for doing this!
I focus more on creating start-class articles with the hopes of going back to them and fleshing them out later, but the few I have fleshed out I would like your opinion on. The 2001 Freightliner/G.I. Joe's 200 and 2001 Molson Indy Vancouver you rated 'C' Class in quality. I want to know what I need to do to make those articles better besides pictures (I wish fair-use IndyCar pics were as plentiful as they are in F1). I also want to let you know that I created/fleshed out the 2001 Lehigh Valley Grand Prix and 2001 Marconi Grand Prix of Cleveland articles but they're still listed as 'start' class. Any chances you could review those too?

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

I made edits on the Tony Stewart page knowing he didn’t race under the Monster Energy Series banner. He’s my favorite driver. I know this stuff. However, when the series is renamed, historical events are still referred to using the current name. For example, Jeff Gordon is referred to as a 4-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) Champion. Even though Jeff’s last championship win was in 2001. At that time it was NASCAR Winston Cup. He’s never raced under the MENCS name either. The Andrew Swain ( talk) 01:06, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:
The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.
So, on to the second round. 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 equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything 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 help keep down the review backlogs!

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.
So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. 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 equally.

Hi, Bcschneider. I have to say that I don't personally see the article as being of FA standard. It's hard to put a finger on it, but I just don't have a feeling that it's there. Even if you look at some of the FAs we have on races, they just look more fully developed than this one. I'm proud of this article and think it's a good GA, but that's as far as it goes. Sorry if this provides a shock, but I have to call them like I see them or I won't be very credible as a reviewer. Giants2008 ( Talk) 13:17, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for The American Bible Challenge, "a Biblical-themed game show that aired on Game Show Network from 2012 to 2014. The series was hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, perhaps best known for his career as a comedian and host of the highly successful Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? on Fox. The series received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination and broke several ratings records for GSN over its three seasons."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:55, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
Nothing that I said in my comment was untrue. Danica has one win in more than 300 races. She has never won in NASCAR and has seldom been competitive. As a driver she is mediocre at best. What I said here in my edit change the other day was totally true.
I posted it knowing full well it would probably not "stick."
I can understand your unwillingness to leave my comment.
Still it seems to me that without such information the article about her is somewhat less than honest.
If Danica, with her record, were male, hardly any attention would be paid to her.
I would feel very differently about her if I saw ANY improvement. But there has been none. And in my view, she is not a very nice person based upon her frequent negative public comments and her nastiness toward fans who pay good money to see her and deserve better treatment.
And there have been other female drivers who have had more than one win.
Considering her record, I find it a stretch to call Danica "successful," except in terms of the money that she has made. If I am "not neutral" then so be it, but I find it hard to consider her "successful" with 1 win in more than 300 races and no wins in NASCAR.
Anyway, thank you for your message. And in advance for reading this reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.161.182.9 ( talk) 18:59, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.
Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, 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. Good luck!

Hi Bcschneider53. I apologize for not citing a source for the confirmed drivers list for NASCAR Heat 2. I apologize since I was in a hurry to do this. I would also like to say that I am new to editing in Wikipedia so please excuse me for not adding the source since I am still new at this. There is a source however. The website is "www.nascarheat.com" The specific pages for the drivers list is "www.nascarheat.com/nascar-xfinity-series/" and " http://www.nascarheat.com/nascar-camping-world-truck-series/" 704Games have recently also added the confirmed drivers list for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers, yet they have not updated their website. I currently still do not have the time availability to list the sources on the Wikipedia page. If you have the availability to add the source I would greatly appreciate it! I have seen your page and now know that you are a student, so if you are not available at this time that is fine. Thanks! -SteeledDock541 — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteeledDock541 ( talk • contribs) 23:22, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
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. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

I looked through my Watchlist today and saw you went through basically every article I've created/redirected/so that they're included under the WikiProject:AOWR guidelines. Thank you for doing this!
I focus more on creating start-class articles with the hopes of going back to them and fleshing them out later, but the few I have fleshed out I would like your opinion on. The 2001 Freightliner/G.I. Joe's 200 and 2001 Molson Indy Vancouver you rated 'C' Class in quality. I want to know what I need to do to make those articles better besides pictures (I wish fair-use IndyCar pics were as plentiful as they are in F1). I also want to let you know that I created/fleshed out the 2001 Lehigh Valley Grand Prix and 2001 Marconi Grand Prix of Cleveland articles but they're still listed as 'start' class. Any chances you could review those too?

Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round.

I made edits on the Tony Stewart page knowing he didn’t race under the Monster Energy Series banner. He’s my favorite driver. I know this stuff. However, when the series is renamed, historical events are still referred to using the current name. For example, Jeff Gordon is referred to as a 4-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) Champion. Even though Jeff’s last championship win was in 2001. At that time it was NASCAR Winston Cup. He’s never raced under the MENCS name either. The Andrew Swain ( talk) 01:06, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
