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)
Hi, Please remove protection log from Sandeep Anand, because I want to create this page. KungfuPanda2008 ( talk) 20:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- @ KungfuPanda2008: Given the page's history, I would wait for the draft to get accepted at AfC. I have no problem with another admin unprotecting it if it gets accepted there. In the meantime, Theroadislong has brought up several issues with the page that look like they still need to be resolved. As far as what the issues with the page history goes, in the past a sockpuppet tried to create the page, plus there were issues with notability and repeat recreations, one of which contained plagiarism. It's not the most issue rife page I've ever protected, but the history may still put it at more risk of getting nominated for deletion than others. Successfully making it through AfC will help give it at least some protection from this. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:18, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Can you undelete this page please. All the best:
