The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.
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 3 July 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chicago Express Loop, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Chicago Express Loop is a proposed underground high-speed rail rapid transit system that will connect Chicago's Loop with O'Hare International Airport? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chicago Express Loop. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Chicago Express Loop), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for uploading File:Killing Me Softly With His Song sample.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:14, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in ( here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}}
- if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}}
- if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.
I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.
So, I've decided to create " WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.
We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!
And... that's it!
I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) ( talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Dear TonyTheTiger, Hope this message finds you well. I am writing about the subject page, which was deleted from Wikipedia last year. I believe you were part of the discussion-for-deletion group and supported the recommendation for deleting the page. I believe you live in Chicago, where Khawaja Reazuddin Atash also lived since 1990 till he passed away in 2001. He was popular in former East Pakistan, Pakistan and the USA where he established Bazm-e-Sukhan, which is still active. Pedigree may not be important here but just that you know, he belonged to a highly literary family of poets and writers from Delhi and Patna. Poets and writers like Sukhan Delvi and Mubarak Azimabadi were among his ancestors. He published 5 books of prose and poetry and regularly wrote columns for major Urdu newspapers. His work is also published on Rekhta.org. To know more, you may talk to Mr. Amein Haider of Urdu Institute, Mr. Tariq Khawaja of Urdu Times and Mr. Ahmed Khan of Gehvara-e-Adab, the premier literary organizations, and newspaper of Chicago. I am not aware of how familiar you are with the Urdu language and what efforts you made to research Mr. Atash apart from Google searches. You will appreciate that the world of Urdu literature and poetry is not limited to only Ghalib, Dagh, Manto, Krishan Chander, Faiz, Firaq, and Faraz. You, as an editor of Wikipedia, I am sure, have a good sense of how literature progresses with inputs from all levels of writers and poets, and that literature never stops to change. For your information, Atash received many literary awards, most prominent among them is the Ghalib Award accorded on him by the Aligargh Muslim University Alumni Association (AMUAA) Chicago Chapter. I would request you to reconsider the decision and guide me on how to have the page republished on Wikipedia. If you need to discuss the matter, you may talk to me at (847) 502-8793. Thank you and regards, Farrukh Khawaja — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fkhawaja ( talk • contribs) 21:15, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
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. 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!

I've recently created Come Along with Me (Adventure Time) and Kamikaze (Eminem album) and I think they are DYK-worthy; it's been just at one week for both. The latter is a good hook with it being a record nine consecutive number one albums on the American and British charts. Do you think you could nominate one or both?

I've recently created Come Along with Me (Adventure Time) and Kamikaze (Eminem album) and I think they are DYK-worthy; it's been just at one week for both. The latter is a good hook with it being a record nine consecutive number one albums on the American and British charts. Do you think you could nominate one or both? Thanks. ― Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 21:09, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
On 9 September 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tribune East Tower, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that if completed, the proposed 1,422-foot (433 m) Tribune East Tower would be the second tallest building in Chicago, behind the Willis Tower? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tribune East Tower. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Tribune East Tower), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

You reverted my edit to Scott Rudin's film production page, saying "Is God Is" as an addition amounted to vandalism:

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:20081117 Barack Obama Streetlight Banner.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. B ( talk) 22:51, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
Please remember that you don’t own these articles - none of us do. You’ve reverted my change to the lead twice. I don’t care enough about this issue to edit war with you over it, but neither my format nor yours is any sort of consensus, it’s personal preference. Rikster2 ( talk) 01:34, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello TonyTheTiger. It has been a week since I reviewed your DYK nomination of Wheels Up, where I mentioned that a new hook would need to be proposed. Please reply as soon as possible on the nomination page, otherwise the nomination may be closed as stale. Thank you and happy editing. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 01:18, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
