Hey Pamzeis. Hope all is well and Happy New Year. Not sure how busy you are these days and if you're still active in the FAC review space. Thought I'd ask, since your last nomination was a BLP of Mckenna Grace. I was wondering if you have time to provide some feedback on my current FAC. It's a short one (probably shorter than Mckenna's), so hopefully wont be too long to review. Totally understand though if things are busier IRL. Have a good one.

earning critical acclaim for her performance as the toilet cleaneris the most unexpected thing I've read in an FAC nom statement thus far)! I might be able to have a look, but I'm not the most free person ATM and have a bit to catch up IRL (if ya couldn't tell, I'm really good at procrastinating). Any review would probably have to come a few weeks from now and I'm not sure if the article would still be at FAC by then. If the article is still there, I will probably take a look, but I can't make any promises, unfortunately. I'm really sorry for not being able to review, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any reviews in the future! Good luck with the article! Pamzeis ( talk) 13:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Pamzeis. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Casita, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 19:06, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
The article Shaylee Mansfield you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Shaylee Mansfield for comments about the article, and Talk:Shaylee Mansfield/GA2 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima ( submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Paige Niemann. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's
policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in
loss of editing privileges. You have continued to remove maintenance templates while also appearing to add promotional content, e.g. removing content directly about Neimann and presenting it as if the source is not directly discussing Neimann, and appear to have used a false edit summary

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February 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. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
