The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Other notable performances were put in by
Barkeep49 with six GAs,
Ceranthor,
Lee Vilenski, and
Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and
MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter 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 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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. Good luck!

On 10 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kitty O'Brien Joyner, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kitty O'Brien Joyner (pictured) was the first woman engineer at NACA, the predecessor to NASA? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kitty O'Brien Joyner. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Kitty O'Brien Joyner), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hey, I was wondering if there is such a thing as a group of Wikipedians who in some sense specialize in or are experienced in investigating elaborate looking but crackpot pseudoscience "walled gardens," as I suspect educology is, and if there is a way/if it would be appropriate to draw their attention to it. Thanks. Crossroads1 ( talk) 19:26, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!
WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recent research has re-opened the debate on Wikipedia's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.
