You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Welcome aboard the SS Wikipedia, it do be yer captain speaking! You are hereby commissioned into CaptainEek's crew as a deckhand. If ye be crafty and good at catching sources, it won't be long before you graduate with a captainship of yer own.

Nah but seriously, glad to have you as an adoptee, you look like you care and want to get more involved. I'm excited to work with you. I can try to help guide you on improving [[Ambazonia]] further. You might be interested in taking it to [[WP:GA|Good Status]], which we could arrange. If you have some other new articles in mind, let me know and we can go from there. Unlike some adopters, I am pretty freeform, and am here as a source and guide, rather than taking you through a specific course or series of lectures. If you'd like that, I can devise some, but otherwise I'm letting you choose what direction you'd like to go. Anytime you have a concern or question, post a note on my talk page, and I can explain in depth. You've mentioned wanting to get involved in other areas of Wikipedia, and we could talk about those once you have some more content experience under your belt.

Whenever you want me to look at something, make sure you ping me or drop a note on my talk page. Smooth sailing, [[User:CaptainEek|<span style="color:#6a1f7f">'''CaptainEek'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:CaptainEek|<span style="font-size:82%"><span style="color:#a479e5">''Edits Ho Cap'n!''</span></span>]]</sup>[[Special:Contributions/CaptainEek|⚓]] 02:54, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Flalf. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Keitaro Kumehara|Keitaro Kumehara]]". 

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Keitaro Kumehara|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code. 

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! <!-- Template:Db-draft-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> —[[User:Nnadigoodluck|'''<span style="font-family:Segoe Print;color:#007b3a;">Nnadigoodluck</span>''']][[User talk:Nnadigoodluck|🇳🇬]] 01:21, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

The article [[Great Grain Robbery]] you nominated as a [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations|good article]] has been placed on hold [[File:Symbol wait.svg|20px]]. The article is close to meeting the [[WP:GA?|good article criteria]], but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed.

::{{reply|Flalf}} Yes, the primary area where I thought the article did not meet the GA level was in [[WP:Good article criteria]] item 3a: "Broad in its coverage: it addresses the main aspects of the topic".  In particular, the article needs to discuss four things that are not mentioned now:  détente with the Soviet Union; the involvement of large agribusiness corporations; Congressional hearings; and the 1972 presidential election.

== Rollback granted ==

[[Image:Wikipedia Rollbacker.svg|right|130px]]
Hi Flalf. After reviewing your request for "{{mono|rollbacker}}", I have&#32;temporarily <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AFlalf enabled]</span> rollback on your account&#32;until 2021-01-24. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
*Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing [[WP:TW|Twinkle]].
*Rollback should be used to revert ''clear'' cases of [[WP:VAND|''vandalism'']] ''only'', and not [[WP:AGF|good faith edits]].
*Rollback should never be used to [[WP:EDITWAR|edit war]].
*If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
*Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see [[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback]] (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my [[User talk:L235|talk page]] if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing!

== WikiCup 2021 March newsletter ==

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points.  Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:   

*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]] led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
*{{flagicon|Republic of Venice|wartime}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
*{{flagicon|Scotland}} [[User:ImaginesTigers|ImaginesTigers]], who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing [[League of Legends]] to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
*{{flagicon|Rwanda}} [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] came next with 708 points, [[Kigali]] being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
*[[File:Flag of the United Nations.svg|22px]] [[User:Ktin|Ktin]], new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
*{{flagicon|Botswana}} [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
*[[File:Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg|22px]] [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]], last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
*[[File:Bennington Flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]], at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
*{{flagicon|United States}} [[User:Le Panini|Le Panini]], another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
*{{flagicon|England}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews. 

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]].

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.

== WikiCup 2021 May newsletter ==

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

*{{flagicon|BWA}} [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]], with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
*{{flagicon|Republic of Venice|wartime}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
*[[File:Bennington Flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]], with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
*[[File:Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg|22px|England]] [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]], with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
*{{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews. 
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
*[[File:Flag of the United Nations.svg|22px]] [[User:Ktin|Ktin]], with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items. 

Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

== WikiCup 2021 September newsletter ==

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, {{flagicon|BWA}} [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] and {{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being {{flagicon|Republic of Venice|wartime}} [[User: Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are [[File:Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg|22px]] [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]], {{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], [[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]], {{flagicon|Rwanda}} [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] and [[File:Bennington Flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]]. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. [[File:Wandbild Portrait George Floyd von Eme Street Art im Mauerpark (Berlin).jpg|22px|George Floyd mural]] [[User:Bilorv|Bilorv]] scored for a 25-article good topic on [[Black Mirror]] but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, 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 14 days of "earning" them.

And so ends the first round of the [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|WikiCup]]. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:   

*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
*{{flagicon|Christmas Island}} [[User:AryKun|AryKun]], new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds. 
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
*{{flagicon|Philadelphia}} [[User:GhostRiver|GhostRiver]] was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} [[User:Kavyansh.Singh|Kavyansh.Singh]] was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
*[[File:Flag of Provo, Utah (1989–2015).svg|23px|link=Flag of Provo, Utah]] [[User:SounderBruce|SounderBruce]] was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} [[User:Ktin|Ktin]], another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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]].

Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

== WikiCup 2022 May newsletter ==

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

#{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
#{{flagicon|Christmas Island}} [[User:AryKun|AryKun]], with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
#{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
#[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|23px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
#[[File:Vexilloid of the Roman Empire.svg|20px|link=SPQR]] [[User:Ealdgyth|Ealdgyth]], with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews. 
#{{flagicon|United States of America}} [[User:Panini!|Panini!]], with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
#{{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

== WikiCup 2022 July newsletter ==

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

*[[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]], with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]], with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|22px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

== WikiCup 2023 March newsletter ==

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:   

*{{flagicon image|Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg|link=Dual monarchy of England and France}} [[User:Unlimitedlead|Unlimitedlead]] with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]] was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
*{{flagicon|Germany}} [[user:FrB.TG|FrB.TG]] was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
*{{flagicon|USA}} [[User:TheJoebro64|TheJoebro64]], another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
*{{flagicon|Byzantine Empire}} [[User:Iazyges|Iazyges]] was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included {{flagicon|Berkelland}} [[User:LunaEatsTuna|LunaEatsTuna]], {{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} [[User:Thebiguglyalien|Thebiguglyalien]], {{flagicon image|Transgender Pride flag.svg|link=Transgender}} [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], {{flagicon|New England}} [[User:Trainsandotherthings|Trainsandotherthings]],  {{flagicon|ENG}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]], {{flagicon|Indonesia}} [[User:Juxlos|Juxlos]], {{flagicon image|Flag of Earth.svg|link=Earth}} [[User:Unexpectedlydian|Unexpectedlydian]], {{flagicon|Washington}} [[User:SounderBruce|SounderBruce]], {{flagicon|Wales}} [[User:Kosack|Kosack]], {{flagicon image|Flag_of_Esperanto.svg|link=Esperanto}} [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]] and {{flagicon|Chicago}} [[User:PCN02WPS|PCN02WPS]]. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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.

== 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

*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} [[User:Epicgenius|Epicgenius]], with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by 
*{{flagicon image|Transgender Pride flag.svg|link=Transgender}} [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]], with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was 
*{{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} [[User:Thebiguglyalien|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. <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> 

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.

Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2024 signups|sign up to participate]]''' in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors.

== WikiCup 2024 March newsletter ==

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:   

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}}, who has 916 points mostly from one FA on [[John Littlejohn (preacher)]], 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Vami IV}}, who has 790 points from two FAs on [[Felix M. Warburg House]] and [[Doom (2016 video game)]], two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}}, who has 580 points from one FA on [[Hö'elün]], two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}}, who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|MaranoFan}}, who has 351 points from one FA on [[Holidays (Meghan Trainor song)]], a nine-article FT on [[30 (album)]], and three DYKs
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Skyshifter}}, who has 345 points from one FA on [[OneShot]], one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Vami IV}}, who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five [[Wikipedia:Content assessment/A-Class criteria|A-class]] articles, eight other good articles, and two [[Wikipedia:Four Award|Four Award]]s. Vami also wrote an essay on [[User:Vami_IV/Completionism|completionism]], a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his [[User:Vami IV/My works|to-do list]].

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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 want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
