WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

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)

Nomination Draft:Arcadia School for Speedy deletion

Hey @Spiderone, hope you are doing well. I am here to learn from your experience, and I am totally of the opinon that I would have done some mistake. If you could guide me regarding this I would be very grateful to you. You nominated a draft, which was not submitted, nor it was finalized in any aspect for the speedy deletion, as much as I know, drafts are drafts and can be submitted whenever they are finalized, after which it is decided if they are approved or not.

I did read the Speedy deletion criteria, and for what I have understood, may be I am wrong, but it is applied on pages that are in live space.

I created the draft in the public space so that if there is any other editor who want's to work on the subject could improve... I did submit a draft before and it was rejected, and I wanted to be extra careful with the Arcadia School's draft. I was also thinking of getting help from teahouse as well. I do know that the draft had promotional language, all I did there was gathered the information from different sources and structured them. I didn't even cite any of the sources.

Please guide me in this regard, and tell me how can I do better, and also let me know if the draft can be retrive, so I can work on it. I promise you I won't submit it till it is in accordance to the Wikipedia policies.

Thank you.

P.S. Hopefully, I haven't offended you in any way, if I have, many apologies in advance. Annika59 (talk) 20:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Annika59 WP:ADMASQ is clear and says Blatant examples of advertising masquerading as encyclopedia articles can be tagged for speedy deletion with... The same applies to pages in userspace, the draft namespace, or any other namespace. Draft space is not immune from deletion for promotional text. Nevertheless, if you want it restored, you can appeal the deletion at User talk:Justlettersandnumbers or WP:DRV. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:56, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @Spiderone. Annika59 (talk) 21:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
