Dear SL93 I am trying to save Draft:AcademiaNet from deletion and want to resubmit it. I read your comment about it (Sounds more like an advertising) but am, to be honest, at a total loss how I could improve the article to meet that criticism. I can't find any embellishment in the wording (maybe the Angela Merkel quote? But I don't think it violates guidelines and is relevant to state the purpose of the project?) and I think as an official project of the Swiss National Science Foundation and the sanctioned collaboration of over 40 other governemental institutions across europe it also clears notability criteria. Could you give me some pointers how to improve the article (I'm mainly active in the german wikipedia so am not that familiar with the ENG-standards), I would be sad to see such an important academic project which solely focus on women to not be represented. Thank you for your help. Fairfis ( talk) 20:12, 6 March 2021 (UTC) -> Fairfis (de Wikipedia)

The AFC script had a major failure, and didn't remove the AFC comments either. I removed the AFC comments, but didn't notice that the draft template was still there.
It may have been ultimately my mistake, but it is more likely the mistake of the author. The author inserted a comment in the draft. I cut the comment and the AFC question that it answered, and pasted them onto the talk page. I think of this as moving the comment to the back of the page, because I think of a talk page as the back of the article. Either the author or I did something that caused the AFC script not to do the cleanup well. So then I removed the AFC comments, but didn't notice the draft template. That is what happened, which ultimately is the result of editors acting like humans and doing things that the scripts didn't plan on. Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:40, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for taking the time to look at my first attempt at a wikipedia contribution. I found the interface a bit challenging.
I created the page about Jorg with the intent of then getting all the academics and political leaders that worked with him and that are still using his ideas today to contribute to the page. Many of them will be able to provide direct links to content and to how his ideas are still being used. Last year we held a memorial meeting in Germany with more than 30 scholars that are still working with his ideas, and they all committed to contributing. However, a committee cannot write a wiki page, and therefore I agreed to make a first effort.
As I do not speak good enough German, I cannot interview his mother and his close relations for more personal information.
So I do not know what to do to proceed. In the near future we will have buildings and libraries named after Jorg, so I am just wondering how one reviewer can decide that somebodys life was not significant? There are more than 60 countries using Jorgs models to develop innovation, technology, industrial and local economy policies.
Best wishes, Shawn

Hello SL93,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Thank you for looking at the draft of the article. The feedback mentioned specifically that there should be "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I was wondering why the references citing "The New Arab" didn't meet this criteria? The google translate version of the website translated into English are accurate and show "independence" from the subject. This is the English language version of the same site: https://english.alaraby.co.uk/english

SL93 I was wondering about the ArabLit source in the draft? They are independent from the subject and I think they, along with the other sources, provide the minimum standard for being published in Wikipedia. Namely, does the subject exist and are they notable. Even though Ameer did receive an emerging writer, I think given his output and previous translation into English, his article should be considered for publication. Thank you for the feedback and I will continue trying to improve the draft.

I took an interest in a draft that you rejected for not being significant. Seeing that the intial article was merely a repeat of press releases by USPS, I would have agreed with you. But, I did further research and found more than 100 references that showed its significance both in California, the US and Internationally. I did a significant re-write of the article and added more than 20 of the references I found. I believe that this should be a wikipedia article for the following reasons:
I would be most interested to know if you think that this page is worthy of being a wikipedia page on your review of it now. I appreciate your experience. I am a new writer to Wikipedia, so I am sure I have more to learn. But, my goal here is to help add good research and reliable citations from worth sources to articles that seem to merit it. User:SoundNotater
SL93 Thanks. I will see if I can find the specific link and update the reference.
Hi,
I hope all is well.
The article written was rejected for not having "significant coverage" about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
I believe such rejection is wrong. Would you be able to, please, help me with this matter?
All sources (but one) are not related in any shape or form to the subject in matter. One of the sources, A Tarde, is a 108-year-old journal that is also on Wikipedia. All resources are secondary (not related), reliable, independent, and experienced.
The article is about an international American school that is not located in one of the main cities in the country. That said, it is impossible to exist an article from an international outlet. Even schools such as St. Paul's or Graded in São Paulo do not have such coverage. What I can guarantee, and what you can check is, that there is, in fact, significant coverage.
Thank you and I apologize for any inconvenience earlier on. I was indignant.
Best wishes,
Submitted the draft:Joseph A. Camp for reconsideration after adding additional sources and cites from recent events. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:282:503:8420:D94B:72AE:AD17:C604 ( talk) 22:45, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
the article that I translated from Polish Wikipedia was rejected for being not adequately supported by reliable sources.
I believe such rejection is wrong. Source https://pwm.com.pl/pl/kompozytorzy_i_autorzy/5640/igor-jankowski/index.html is reliable. PWM (Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne) is a Polish Music Publishing House ( https://pwm.com.pl/en/page/o_pwm.html and /info/en/?search=PWM_Edition), a Polish cultural institution established in 1945 and the only Polish national Publishing House. Source https://www.polmic.pl/index.php?option=com_mwosoby&id=1037&view=czlowiek&litera=11&Itemid=5&lang=pl is reliable. POLMIC is a Polish Music Information Centre. It collects and publishes information on contemporary Polish music. More information is available here: https://polmic.pl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=35&lang=en Source http://poland.mfa.gov.by/pl/embassy/news/a270f80608dea1e8.html is reliable. It's an official government web page of Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in the Republic of Poland. It's only in Polish or Belarusian language but it quotes Igor Jankowski as the originator and organizer of the Festival of Belarusian Culture in Pomerania.
I translated the article the best I could and I believe it is adequately supported by reliable sources.
Please, reconsider it and write back to me,

Hello,
Towards the end of December you rejected my article
Draft:Direction Finding by Amplitude Comparison.
Initially I wasn’t sure why you made the comment that I hadn't addressed the concerns of the previous reviewer. However, I have (slowly!) come to realize what your comment meant (I think).
When the article was previously rejected, I had some discussions with the editor who suggested the material needed a better introduction. At the time I took that to mean the article should better introduce the technique of microwave direction finding, so I expanded the introductory section. I now think what was wanted was a clearer, more basic, description of the mathematical concepts underlying the method, before presenting the main details. Am I correct?
Once the situation is clear, I will try and redraft the article, although I am concerned that you think it is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
D1ofBerks (
talk) 12:30, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Thank you for your response.
The material could be added to the existing article and I did consider doing this, initially, and I'm still not adverse to doing that. However, I decided not to do it for the following reasons.
1. The article would become excessively long.
2. The techniques and equipment involved, at microwave frequencies, are quite different to those at RF. Any any case the previous techniques are unsuitable for detecting a transmitter bent on avoiding detection. (I wish I had called my article "Microwave Direction Finding" to better distinguish it from the existing article).
3. The existing article talks, in general terms (but quite clearly), about the techniques of DF prior to the second world war. My aim, rightly or wrongly, is to to show, explicitly, how an antenna array determines the bearing of an incoming signal. This does involve mathematical equations and I give references for the really interested reader. Consequently, the two approaches are rather different, and may look odd in the same article.
What do you think? Should I go to the AFC help desk, as you suggest? (Also, I remain concerned that the content may need amending)

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to review my article for submission "Athens College of Ministry."
I received the same response from you as the first reviewer 3 months ago even though changes were made. Can you please help me to understand why the article continues to be denied? The comment states "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject."
I provided 5 references regarding the subject (I could have provided more but didn't want to overdo it) and 4 out of 5 of them are "independent of the subject," which include stories/articles from local newspapers. So I guess I'm confused as to why this doesn't qualify as reliable references?
If you could answer this for me or give me the proper tips to get this page published that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Your DYK hook about Girls Marked Danger drew 8,796 page views (733 per hour) while on the Main Page. It is one of the most viewed hooks for the month of March as shown at March 2021 DYK STATS. Keep up the great work! Cbl62 ( talk) 18:11, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi SL93: I saw your note in Prep 6 saying that the picture slot should be a non-bio pic. Are we supposed to be alternating bio & no bio hooks in the lead spot? (That's what I've gathered from conversations on the talk page anyway.) You'd put the Japanese route pic as lead spot in Prep 5, so I'm wondering if it should be a bio pic in 6. Can you please let me know? If so, I thought I'd stick Harry Styles in there. MeegsC ( talk) 11:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't think that is the right image. Clearly a farm would not be needed to supply a tiny building like that. What about the one I added to the nom? It's more authentic and more closely matches the hook as it includes loggers too. Philafrenzy ( talk) 12:01, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

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:
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.

Hello @ SL93:, I want to make Emiway Bantai. I tried once before to create an article Emiway Bantai (Indian rapper), but it was deleted, which probably would not have passed GNG at that time. Then I found a Machayenge article from Emiway on Wiki. When I checked that article, it turned out that it was created by CptViraj. He is also an NPR. When I talked to him about this, he said that he was previously associated with this subject. So now he does not want to make it. Then I saw their sandbox which was made to make User:CptViraj/sandbox/Emiway Bantai. Recently I have prepared an article on their sandbox. Therefore, I will ask you to review it. Since its main title is Protected by the Administrator, I will ask you to move it to Emiway. Must see once. Thank you

SL93, Thank you for taking the time to review the draft page Draft:Community_Foundation_for_a_greater_Richmond. I know there is a huge backlog. I'll continue to work on it to see if I can revise and improve it. I do now see a couple of minor NPOV copy editing spots but not a page-wide general tone. Perhaps you can confirm my assumptions. (Most charities have very simple public footprints even if they have significant and ongoing societal impacts: they raise money and give it away. Regionally important organizations, such as this one, also serve as 'rain-makers' in bringing together and coordinating public and private entities. So, a concise description of their processes and the initiatives might inherently seem promotional.) So, I just want to make sure this is an issue of copy editing and not inherent content. I have no connection to this organization other than living in the same region; I’m just trying to be a journeyman and add a well-done page. Zatsugaku ( talk) 13:59, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

I forgot to ask, if you can review the article again, I didn't change the sources, there's not so much trustful information on the internet (as you may know), so that's why I am using Billboard, I don't find it so untrustful this source.

Thank you for a list of good ones! - I was determined to not bother you again with a wish for a topic to be pictured, but ... - If we don't picture the house in New York (prep 1) we should take one of the hooks that say "modeled after a French chateau", because without seeing how unusual that house is for NYC, we should at least say it.

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. 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.

Dear SL93 I am trying to save Draft:AcademiaNet from deletion and want to resubmit it. I read your comment about it (Sounds more like an advertising) but am, to be honest, at a total loss how I could improve the article to meet that criticism. I can't find any embellishment in the wording (maybe the Angela Merkel quote? But I don't think it violates guidelines and is relevant to state the purpose of the project?) and I think as an official project of the Swiss National Science Foundation and the sanctioned collaboration of over 40 other governemental institutions across europe it also clears notability criteria. Could you give me some pointers how to improve the article (I'm mainly active in the german wikipedia so am not that familiar with the ENG-standards), I would be sad to see such an important academic project which solely focus on women to not be represented.

The AFC script had a major failure, and didn't remove the AFC comments either. I removed the AFC comments, but didn't notice that the draft template was still there.
It may have been ultimately my mistake, but it is more likely the mistake of the author. The author inserted a comment in the draft. I cut the comment and the AFC question that it answered, and pasted them onto the talk page. I think of this as moving the comment to the back of the page, because I think of a talk page as the back of the article. Either the author or I did something that caused the AFC script not to do the cleanup well. So then I removed the AFC comments, but didn't notice the draft template. That is what happened, which ultimately is the result of editors acting like humans and doing things that the scripts didn't plan on. Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:40, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for taking the time to look at my first attempt at a wikipedia contribution. I found the interface a bit challenging.
I created the page about Jorg with the intent of then getting all the academics and political leaders that worked with him and that are still using his ideas today to contribute to the page. Many of them will be able to provide direct links to content and to how his ideas are still being used. Last year we held a memorial meeting in Germany with more than 30 scholars that are still working with his ideas, and they all committed to contributing. However, a committee cannot write a wiki page, and therefore I agreed to make a first effort.
As I do not speak good enough German, I cannot interview his mother and his close relations for more personal information.
So I do not know what to do to proceed. In the near future we will have buildings and libraries named after Jorg, so I am just wondering how one reviewer can decide that somebodys life was not significant? There are more than 60 countries using Jorgs models to develop innovation, technology, industrial and local economy policies.
Best wishes, Shawn

Hello SL93,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Thank you for looking at the draft of the article. The feedback mentioned specifically that there should be "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I was wondering why the references citing "The New Arab" didn't meet this criteria? The google translate version of the website translated into English are accurate and show "independence" from the subject. This is the English language version of the same site: https://english.alaraby.co.uk/english

SL93 I was wondering about the ArabLit source in the draft? They are independent from the subject and I think they, along with the other sources, provide the minimum standard for being published in Wikipedia. Namely, does the subject exist and are they notable. Even though Ameer did receive an emerging writer, I think given his output and previous translation into English, his article should be considered for publication. Thank you for the feedback and I will continue trying to improve the draft.

I took an interest in a draft that you rejected for not being significant. Seeing that the intial article was merely a repeat of press releases by USPS, I would have agreed with you. But, I did further research and found more than 100 references that showed its significance both in California, the US and Internationally. I did a significant re-write of the article and added more than 20 of the references I found. I believe that this should be a wikipedia article for the following reasons:
I would be most interested to know if you think that this page is worthy of being a wikipedia page on your review of it now. I appreciate your experience. I am a new writer to Wikipedia, so I am sure I have more to learn. But, my goal here is to help add good research and reliable citations from worth sources to articles that seem to merit it. User:SoundNotater
SL93 Thanks. I will see if I can find the specific link and update the reference.
Hi,
I hope all is well.
The article written was rejected for not having "significant coverage" about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
I believe such rejection is wrong. Would you be able to, please, help me with this matter?
All sources (but one) are not related in any shape or form to the subject in matter. One of the sources, A Tarde, is a 108-year-old journal that is also on Wikipedia. All resources are secondary (not related), reliable, independent, and experienced.
The article is about an international American school that is not located in one of the main cities in the country. That said, it is impossible to exist an article from an international outlet. Even schools such as St. Paul's or Graded in São Paulo do not have such coverage. What I can guarantee, and what you can check is, that there is, in fact, significant coverage.
Thank you and I apologize for any inconvenience earlier on. I was indignant.
Best wishes,
Submitted the draft:Joseph A. Camp for reconsideration after adding additional sources and cites from recent events. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:282:503:8420:D94B:72AE:AD17:C604 ( talk) 22:45, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
the article that I translated from Polish Wikipedia was rejected for being not adequately supported by reliable sources.
I believe such rejection is wrong. Source https://pwm.com.pl/pl/kompozytorzy_i_autorzy/5640/igor-jankowski/index.html is reliable. PWM (Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne) is a Polish Music Publishing House ( https://pwm.com.pl/en/page/o_pwm.html and /info/en/?search=PWM_Edition), a Polish cultural institution established in 1945 and the only Polish national Publishing House. Source https://www.polmic.pl/index.php?option=com_mwosoby&id=1037&view=czlowiek&litera=11&Itemid=5&lang=pl is reliable. POLMIC is a Polish Music Information Centre. It collects and publishes information on contemporary Polish music. More information is available here: https://polmic.pl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=35&lang=en Source http://poland.mfa.gov.by/pl/embassy/news/a270f80608dea1e8.html is reliable. It's an official government web page of Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in the Republic of Poland. It's only in Polish or Belarusian language but it quotes Igor Jankowski as the originator and organizer of the Festival of Belarusian Culture in Pomerania.
I translated the article the best I could and I believe it is adequately supported by reliable sources.
Please, reconsider it and write back to me,
Best Regards, MichalDering — Preceding undated comment added 16:30, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
Towards the end of December you rejected my article
Draft:Direction Finding by Amplitude Comparison.
Initially I wasn’t sure why you made the comment that I hadn't addressed the concerns of the previous reviewer. However, I have (slowly!) come to realize what your comment meant (I think).
When the article was previously rejected, I had some discussions with the editor who suggested the material needed a better introduction. At the time I took that to mean the article should better introduce the technique of microwave direction finding, so I expanded the introductory section. I now think what was wanted was a clearer, more basic, description of the mathematical concepts underlying the method, before presenting the main details. Am I correct?
Once the situation is clear, I will try and redraft the article, although I am concerned that you think it is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
D1ofBerks (
talk) 12:30, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Thank you for your response.
The material could be added to the existing article and I did consider doing this, initially, and I'm still not adverse to doing that. However, I decided not to do it for the following reasons.
1. The article would become excessively long.
2. The techniques and equipment involved, at microwave frequencies, are quite different to those at RF. Any any case the previous techniques are unsuitable for detecting a transmitter bent on avoiding detection. (I wish I had called my article "Microwave Direction Finding" to better distinguish it from the existing article).
3. The existing article talks, in general terms (but quite clearly), about the techniques of DF prior to the second world war. My aim, rightly or wrongly, is to to show, explicitly, how an antenna array determines the bearing of an incoming signal. This does involve mathematical equations and I give references for the really interested reader. Consequently, the two approaches are rather different, and may look odd in the same article.
What do you think? Should I go to the AFC help desk, as you suggest? (Also, I remain concerned that the content may need amending)

The comment states "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject."
I provided 5 references regarding the subject (I could have provided more but didn't want to overdo it) and 4 out of 5 of them are "independent of the subject," which include stories/articles from local newspapers. So I guess I'm confused as to why this doesn't qualify as reliable references?
If you could answer this for me or give me the proper tips to get this page published that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

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:
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.

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.

Hi SL93: I saw your note in Prep 6 saying that the picture slot should be a non-bio pic. Are we supposed to be alternating bio & no bio hooks in the lead spot? (That's what I've gathered from conversations on the talk page anyway.) You'd put the Japanese route pic as lead spot in Prep 5, so I'm wondering if it should be a bio pic in 6.

I don't think that is the right image. Clearly a farm would not be needed to supply a tiny building like that. What about the one I added to the nom? It's more authentic and more closely matches the hook as it includes loggers too. Philafrenzy ( talk) 12:01, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

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:

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!

Hello @ SL93:, I want to make Emiway Bantai. I tried once before to create an article Emiway Bantai (Indian rapper), but it was deleted, which probably would not have passed GNG at that time. Then I found a Machayenge article from Emiway on Wiki. When I checked that article, it turned out that it was created by CptViraj. He is also an NPR. When I talked to him about this, he said that he was previously associated with this subject. So now he does not want to make it. Then I saw their sandbox which was made to make User:CptViraj/sandbox/Emiway Bantai. Recently I have prepared an article on their sandbox. Therefore, I will ask you to review it. Since its main title is Protected by the Administrator, I will ask you to move it to Emiway. Must see once. Thank you

SL93, Thank you for taking the time to review the draft page Draft:Community_Foundation_for_a_greater_Richmond. I know there is a huge backlog. I'll continue to work on it to see if I can revise and improve it. I do now see a couple of minor NPOV copy editing spots but not a page-wide general tone. Perhaps you can confirm my assumptions. (Most charities have very simple public footprints even if they have significant and ongoing societal impacts: they raise money and give it away. Regionally important organizations, such as this one, also serve as 'rain-makers' in bringing together and coordinating public and private entities. So, a concise description of their processes and the initiatives might inherently seem promotional.) So, I just want to make sure this is an issue of copy editing and not inherent content. I have no connection to this organization other than living in the same region; I’m just trying to be a journeyman and add a well-done page. Zatsugaku ( talk) 13:59, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

I forgot to ask, if you can review the article again, I didn't change the sources, there's not so much trustful information on the internet (as you may know), so that's why I am using Billboard, I don't find it so untrustful this source.

Thank you for a list of good ones! - I was determined to not bother you again with a wish for a topic to be pictured, but ... - If we don't picture the house in New York (prep 1) we should take one of the hooks that say "modeled after a French chateau", because without seeing how unusual that house is for NYC, we should at least say it.

I offered to assist the creator of this draft with the article as an independent editor. I believe the topic warrants inclusion.

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. 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.
