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
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)
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 ☎
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)
On 11 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cam Booser, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Cam Booser retired from baseball to work as a carpenter in 2017 and made it to Major League Baseball in 2024? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cam Booser. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Cam Booser), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

I noticed you deleted an edit to Jorge Alfaro’s page due to “offensive content”. I remember seeing a case of degrading comments added to Aaron Whitefield’s page, yet the edit was simply reverted. May I inquire what the anonymous user commented that required complete deletion? AmericanAssociationKnowItAll ( talk) 20:12, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
On 11 May 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Sean Burroughs, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Schwede 66 21:28, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
On 13 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Thomas Figures, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hi Muboshgu. Can I ask why, in log ID
162034446, you hid
this revision as
RD2: Serious
BLP violations
, when this didn't appear to have been either a threat or such a violation?
Primefac has
previously restored one revision
you hid previously, on the grounds that, we get death notices all the time, they're easily checked and not that serious of a BLP vio
, which is how I understand the policy. I noticed
your edit summary,
WP:LTA
, but I don't see how this explains the revdel. Is there a reason why it's necessary? ‑‑

I really hate to ask this, but how quickly does someone have to be on top of this when it's been happening for over a decade? It's very frustrating that this has been going on for so long. It seems like because this is a highly-valued contributor, we are reluctant to deal with their behavior problems. I don't want to see this person gone. I just want to see them clean up their act, and no one seems to want to help make that happen. Valereee ( talk) 23:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Good block -- kind of awkward that this guy was just sliding around for four years without anyone noticing... jp× g 🗯️ 08:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of members of the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.Omnis Scientia ( talk) 12:50, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
