== WikiCup 2024 May newsletter == |
|||
The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014. |
|||
The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points: |
|||
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}} with 707 points, mostly from 45 [[WP:GAN|good article nomination]] reviews and 12 [[WP:GA|good articles]]s about radio and television; |
|||
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} with 600 points, mostly from 12 good articles and 12 [[WP:DYK|did you know]] nominations about coinage and history; |
|||
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|SounderBruce}} with 552 points, mostly from a [[WP:FA|featured article]] about the [[2020 Seattle Sounders FC season]], three [[WP:FL|featured lists]], and two good articles; |
|||
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|BennyOnTheLoose}} with 548 points, mostly from a featured article about the snooker player [[John Pulman]], two featured lists, and one good article; |
|||
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|voorts}} with 530 points, mostly from two featured articles ([[Well he would, wouldn't he?]] and [[Cora Agnes Benneson]]) and three good articles. |
|||
The full scores for Round 2 can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2024/Round 2|here]]. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 [[WP:ITN|in the news]] credits and at least 200 [[WP:DYK|did you know]] credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to [[Wikipedia:featured topics|featured topics]] and [[Wikipedia:good topics|good topics]]. |
|||
Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). 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 would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring|this page]]. Further questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges ({{User|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User|Epicgenius}}, and {{User|Frostly}}) are reachable on their talk pages.

* Phase I of the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review|2024 requests for adminship review]] has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 3b: Make the first two days discussion-only (trial)|creating a discussion-only period]] (3b) and [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 13: Admin elections|administrator elections]] (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 2: Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA|creating a reminder of civility norms]] (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I|full report]]. |
