So I am a little confused on when the cut off for promoting stuff is. So the rules make it seem that anything promoted before April 28th is to be promoted this round and can be claimed on the 28th. I have a DYK set to run on the 28th would that be elegible for round 2 or 3? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:14, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Round two, I believe. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:42, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@OlifanofmrTennant, yes, anything promoted on the 28th would still be eligible for round 2. – Epicgenius (talk) 20:19, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, however I just relized that its running on the 29th and not the 28th so the whole question is moot. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Epicgenius: I listed the dyk on my page as it ran today, I was only given five points when I should have been awarded ten. The page is 9~~ bytes, 4k+ more then the size requirement for a bonus. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@OlifanofmrTennant, the bot counts readable prose size. According to Xtools, the prose size is 3,740 bytes. The bot only awards the bonus to articles with more than 5,120 bytes of readable prose. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:34, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Older GA review

edit

Judges, am I able to claim points this round for Talk:2023 UK Championship/GA1? I completed the initial review back at the end of March but the nominator didn't respond to any of my points, and I've just failed the article, as I see the nominator hasn't edited for over 20 days. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:22, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@BennyOnTheLoose, I would say yes, since the review did not formally conclude until just before you posted. Epicgenius (talk) 19:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request to withdraw

edit

Hey, due to a variety of IRL commitments, I do not forsee myswlf having time to be able to participate much in the current round. As a result, I'd like to be marked as having withdrawn from this year's competition. It was a privilege to participate and I look forward to participating again next year.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and for competing in the Cup. I have now marked you as withdrawn. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

interwiki points.

edit

I have not recived my interwiki bonus for DYKs on either Boom (4 + en) or The Devil's Chord (5 + en). I should recive 2 points for both. I know it's only two points but to quote a great man "There is no corner of my heart that I would not turn over for 5 2 points". Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:19, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

OlifanofmrTennant, as explained on the scoring page, the articles are not eligible for interwiki points because some of the other pages did not exist on 31 December. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:03, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh thank you, I see that line now. Probably should reread the rules then. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:16, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Many points

edit

I believe the bot errantly awarded me 9 bonus points for my DYK on Flemish bond. As the article is too short, a conversion of a redirect, and not on any other Wiki, I believe it does not fulfill any of the bonus point requirements. If possible, I'd like my score to reflect the accurate 5 point total. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Pbritti, thanks for bringing this up. I've now adjusted the points for you. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Pbritti, I appreciate your honesty! — Frostly (talk) 17:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
