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:
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.

Dear Mr./Ms. Hickory
I hope you doing fine,
I would like to clarify my drift article Jenna Norodom, as my article declined because of unreliable source. Related to the source that I attached in this article is the most reliable source in my country (Cambodia) as the person I've written about is the Princess in Cambodia and also notable in this country. Would you mind double-checking about that matter? and please kindly let me know what I can do about that.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards, Linda -- Kong Linda ( talk) 03:15, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for feedback.
Please kindly precise what and where seems in your view to be promotional as we only raise facts and no subjective interpretation or opinions in regard to topic.
In case you can provide the different parts we are happy to adjust. Otherwise we assume that the text is not promotional and should fit WP Standards. Thank you for your assistance and support. CarMey21 ( talk) 05:56, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

You're more of a BLP editor than I am, any chance that I can get you to take a look into the viability of an article for Nick DeSimone? He has 198 regular season games played in the AHL plus another 21 playoff games at that level. Deadman137 ( talk) 05:37, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
