The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and 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 and within 24 hours of the end of the final. 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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 ( talk), and Cwmhiraeth ( talk)
The article Lego City Undercover you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Lego City Undercover for comments about the article, and Talk:Lego City Undercover/GA1 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.

Hi Blaze,
I see that you are my mentor on Wikipedia. Thank you. I recently submitted a new article about a person, and it was declined because my primary reference was LinkedIn. Thereafter I found other credible sources on the web and replaced the LinkedIn refence with these.
Unfortunately, the article was rejected again. This time however, it feels like the reasons for rejection are subjective. The person I have written about has had a profound impact on the Internet, heck I'd say even a lot of Wikipedia was written using the code this guy wrote.
Could you please advise what can I do to make the submission stronger?

Hello. How do I get my page get published -- Simon M. Mwila ( talk) 19:44, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
(megasigh) On Sept. 4, for reasons I am not at liberty to reveal, Shoot for the Stars emailed me asking me to permaban them from UTRS and to remove talk page access and email. Given the history, the UTRS ban I set to expire on Sept. 4, 2024 instead of making it permanent. That was about seven weeks ago. I doubt that the reasons for the unsuccessful unblock requests and that impassioned emailed request have changed in that time. Don't know what to say. They're lucky to have a friend like you. Maybe could you remind then of that emailed request?
If they are truly certain they want to request unblocking, they can email the Arbitration Committee because this is a WP:CHECKUSER block. arbcom-enwikimedia.org. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra ( talk) 23:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello. After seeing your comments on Sergecross73's talk page, I noticed you'd been extensively working on a draft for The Joy of Music (album). I hope you don't mind, but I cleaned up the repeated text in the lead (which I assume was a placeholder), curly quotes, infobox formatting and removed the component sales charts from the charts table, added the use mdy template and moved it into mainspace over a redirect I made for it as it's definitely notable. I understand you might have felt it was incomplete, but you can still expand it in mainspace. I don't see why any editor would object to it currently being there as it has 30+ citations and charted. Also, as for what I said about that other editor on Sergecross73's talk page, I didn't come up with term "battleground mentality". It's just that the word "mentality" usually follows if somebody mentions WP:BATTLEGROUND, and I think it's fair to say that user has one. Ss 112 01:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [1]
We released “ add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [2] [3]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [5]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [6]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [7]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [8]

Yesterday, I was doing some vandalism patrol and I made a bunch of mistakes reverting edits that didn't look like good faith edits but in fact were. I've been feeling a bit discouraged and decided to give patrol a rest to stop making further mistakes. However, your essay on mistakes gave me hope for my future on Wikipedia. I just thought you would like to know that that essay is quite helpful. Also, how are you able to make GAs and FAs?

Heya, Panini! Long time, no talk. I have a simple question. On English Wikipedia, and some others like the Spanish and French Wikipedias, you can see what other languages the article you are viewing has been written in (in the top-right corner). I've recently created an article for the German politician Eduard von Möller (1814-1880). He had a page in German which I based it off of through translation. You can find the German version here. How do I get it to appear on the top right of the English version as having a version in German? Thanks! StrawWord298944 ( talk) 19:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

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.

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I come here to say that I am interested. 100% interested. However, I probably won't be available to edit for a project on that scale until after May. That and I do have a list of articles I want to make. However, I do want to help when I am available. If you are able to garner a group of volunteers for this effort, let me know if can do anything to help out. I also hope if this does go ahead, it can help me understand GA better in order for me to get Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary to GA too. All to you, best of luck to you on this enormous project, I really hope this works well. Captain Galaxy 21:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and 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 and within 24 hours of the end of the final. 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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Blaze,
I see that you are my mentor on Wikipedia. Thank you. I recently submitted a new article about a person, and it was declined because my primary reference was LinkedIn. Thereafter I found other credible sources on the web and replaced the LinkedIn refence with these.
Unfortunately, the article was rejected again. This time however, it feels like the reasons for rejection are subjective. The person I have written about has had a profound impact on the Internet, heck I'd say even a lot of Wikipedia was written using the code this guy wrote.
Could you please advise what can I do to make the submission stronger?

Hello. How do I get my page get published -- Simon M. Mwila ( talk) 19:44, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
(megasigh) On Sept. 4, for reasons I am not at liberty to reveal, Shoot for the Stars emailed me asking me to permaban them from UTRS and to remove talk page access and email. Given the history, the UTRS ban I set to expire on Sept. 4, 2024 instead of making it permanent. That was about seven weeks ago. I doubt that the reasons for the unsuccessful unblock requests and that impassioned emailed request have changed in that time. Don't know what to say. They're lucky to have a friend like you. Maybe could you remind then of that emailed request?
If they are truly certain they want to request unblocking, they can email the Arbitration Committee because this is a WP:CHECKUSER block. arbcom-enwikimedia.org. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra ( talk) 23:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello. After seeing your comments on Sergecross73's talk page, I noticed you'd been extensively working on a draft for The Joy of Music (album). I hope you don't mind, but I cleaned up the repeated text in the lead (which I assume was a placeholder), curly quotes, infobox formatting and removed the component sales charts from the charts table, added the use mdy template and moved it into mainspace over a redirect I made for it as it's definitely notable. I understand you might have felt it was incomplete, but you can still expand it in mainspace. I don't see why any editor would object to it currently being there as it has 30+ citations and charted. Also, as for what I said about that other editor on Sergecross73's talk page, I didn't come up with term "battleground mentality". It's just that the word "mentality" usually follows if somebody mentions WP:BATTLEGROUND, and I think it's fair to say that user has one. Ss 112 01:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [1]
We released “ add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [2] [3]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [5]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [6]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [7]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [8]

Heya, Panini! Long time, no talk. I have a simple question. On English Wikipedia, and some others like the Spanish and French Wikipedias, you can see what other languages the article you are viewing has been written in (in the top-right corner). I've recently created an article for the German politician Eduard von Möller (1814-1880). He had a page in German which I based it off of through translation. You can find the German version here. How do I get it to appear on the top right of the English version as having a version in German? Thanks! StrawWord298944 ( talk) 19:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

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.

On 26 February 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Something Like This, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the album Something Like This by Ben Rector debuted at number one on iTunes' singer-songwriter album chart five minutes after its release? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Something Like This. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Something Like This), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

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!

Hi -- Soknika97 ( talk) 06:13, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
I come here to say that I am interested. 100% interested. However, I probably won't be available to edit for a project on that scale until after May. That and I do have a list of articles I want to make. However, I do want to help when I am available. If you are able to garner a group of volunteers for this effort, let me know if can do anything to help out. I also hope if this does go ahead, it can help me understand GA better in order for me to get Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary to GA too. All to you, best of luck to you on this enormous project, I really hope this works well. Captain Galaxy 21:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
