WikiCup 2023 September newsletter edit
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)
Holiday Greetings edit
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Always a pleasure to see your work. ―Buster7 ☎
Ankush Khardori edit
I believe the subject meets Notability criteria.

What do you think?
(You had made some changes to Alvin Bragg's page which prompts me to raise this doubt here.) AltruisticHomoSapien (talk) 17:31, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
2024 NFL Draft selection question edit
Why is it that when I click on "Dylan McMahon" on the selections list, it takes me to a 37 year old American professional wrestler named Dylan Mark Postl instead of the football player named Dylan McMahon? ReallyAmazingDude13 (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

??? - TYLER O'NEILL - ??? edit
Sir or Miss -
Please be so kind as to explain why you deleted all of the various changes to the TYLER O'NEILL page as they additions / adjustments / corrections could not all be " NOT AN IMPROVEMENT " - ??? -
What are your actual qualifications to even render such a decision on any sports related topic - ??? -
We are sports historians, researchers, biographers who know a great many athletes personally so anything entered is going to always be 100 % accurate / correct.
Too many of you Wikipedia editors seem to not know much of anything about sports, especially baseball.
It is just not right to put all the various changes / adjustments / corrections down to " NOT AN IMPROVEMENT " without a reason for each removal.
Looking forward to hearing back at your convenience -
Thank You. - 69.159.70.423 - 29 April 2024 / 10:40 PM - 69.159.70.243 (talk) 02:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Lastly, if you are actually educated about sports at all you would / you should most certainly know the word combination " off of " is absolutely terrible grammar and totally unacceptable whether spoken or written yet you have it in first part of your ' so-called ' Baseball Mountain project - " ... and basing it off of ... ???
- Your edit made a lot of unnecessary changes that made the page worse, like turning the lead into six short paragraphs when we have guidance like Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section on how many paragraphs there should be. If you want to fix some poor grammar, make changes one at a time so that the baby doesn't get thrown out with the bathwater. And please be WP:CIVIL. If you want to disagree with something I did, do so respectfully. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your contributions. I note your partial block of this user. Is it possible to extend that to Ottawa Titans as well? User has been repeatedly adding uncited content to the article in violation of WP:PROVEIT. 162 etc. (talk) 02:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Thank you for posting the blurb about the floods over in Brazil. I just wanted to ask if there's an easy way to update the number of casualties indicated in it, since (unfortunately) all of the parameters have risen again since the last update. Oltrepier (talk) 19:28, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
