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
-
Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by -
Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was -
Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.
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)

About Castle in the Sky
Hey Vanamonde, following up from our previous discussion, I'm hoping to get this article to FAC sometime soon as I have a bit more time on my hands. If you'd like to leave some comments for improvement before that, now would be a great time to do so! Let me know if you'd prefer I open a PR to facilitate the discussion. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 18:10, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reminder...it's been on my to-do list, but as you may have seen I've not been terribly active. I'll try to take a look in the next week or so...Best,
Vanamonde93 (
talk) 18:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Firstly, congratulations on the promotion of "
The Day Before the Revolution" below! Thanks for your copyedits on the article last week. As I mentioned earlier, I finally have some time to conceivably take on an FAC, and I've taken out a couple of sources from the local library in preparation. Is there any last things you'd like me to take another look at before the nomination? If not, I aim to get started on it as soon as possible. Let me know what you think. —
TechnoSquirrel69 (
sigh) 05:04, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @
TechnoSquirrel69: I looked through the article the other day, and my congratulations to you on some very thorough research. My immediate impression was very positive. There were a meagre handful of sources which I would like to skim through, if it's okay with you, and I'd go over the prose. I've been largely away from Wikipedia this week, but I expect to be more active beginning Friday. I hope that is not too late for you. If it is, I won't hold it against you if you'd like to proceed with the nomination, but if you're willing to be (even more) patient, I'd appreciate the chance, as it's such an interesting subject.
Vanamonde93 (
talk) 21:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- No problem! I am admittedly quite eager to get started, but I would also be grateful for any help you're willing to provide, and this weekend shouldn't be too late at all. Also, I forgot to mention this earlier, but let me know if you'd like me to email pictures of any of the offline sources; I have a few physical copies, and some others I can access e-books of through my library. —
TechnoSquirrel69 (
sigh) 21:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Much appreciated, and I will. I recognize eagerness, certainly! And I'm sorry it's taken me this long, I never seem to have the time I used to.

The nomination is now live! I understand if you feel you weren't able to address as many things on the article as you might've liked, but I invite to you leave comments on the candidate! I'll do my best to take on any improvements you feel it needs. —
TechnoSquirrel69 (
sigh) 04:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- I understand, and I apologize for taking this long. I don't really feel I can be a dispassionate reviewer at FAC, but I'll be watching with interest. Ironically this weak I will probably have some time to go through my sources, and if I find things to add I'll do so: but perhaps I won't. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 16:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I really think the IP should be blocked for longer than a week, given that their disruption follows immediately after the one-week block imposed by me on March 21. I would do it for a month. Any objection to my increasing the block?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- @ Bbb23: you're quite right; the block log as displayed on twinkle was bugging out, I think, leading me to believe the previous was for a day. I've done it myself. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 17:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
