WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
 * Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, 🇩🇰 MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on 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. Good luck!

Image uploads
Hey, it is general precedent on Wikipedia that images should be in the png format, which usually displays a better quality than jpgs. You can browse through the artworks of Dua's prior singles and notice this. Hope I didn't step on any toes by replacing it with the png image. Have a nice day.--NØ 13:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * thanks, I didn't know this, I didn't know how to convert the image into png. Alex reach me! 13:23, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Alex!! Great job on both "Medellín" and your current expansion of Madame X. I wanna help when you're done with the tour's article. So let me know! Cheers and regards! --Christian (talk) 17:12, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi Alex ! Sure let me know which sections! I can start if not tomorrow Monday!--Christian (talk) 02:28, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * you could do the Background and Recording sections Alex reach me! 02:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * sure; I’ll start on Monday. BTW are you gonna expande “Erotica” based on the Spanish article? --Christian (talk) 04:26, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes it's about time. Would love your collaboration on this one too Alex reach me! 04:54, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Regarding "Erotica" and the rest (I suppose you plan to expand "Deeper and Deeper" and "Bad Girl" as well) I really don't know. LOL I kinda take pride in knowing they were GA in Spanish first :P I think I'll let you finish those and when you're done I'll give them a reread and do minor corrections. Eventually I'd like to correct/expand the rest of the Good articles on the English wiki; some of them are very incomplete (ie. "Holiday", "Burning Up", "Lucky Star", "Like a Virgin", etc) - and they're supposed to be good articles. In Spanish there are plenty of featured Madonna articles (The main Madonna article, the first album, Like a Virgin, True Blue, "Like a Prayer" and Erotica). Eventually I wanna get more FA in Spanish (Like a Prayer, Ray of Light and Confessions) - I've thought of expanding those articles here in the English wiki but I guess I'm too lazy. Eventually I'll do them. Some day haha. But yeah, count on it with the Madame X sections. Then after that it's the tour. Shame there aren't anymore pictures of that one. I'll start if not tomorrow, Tuesday. Work is a little heavy. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers Alex! --Christian (talk) 18:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'm considering translating "Deeper and Deeper" and "Bad Girl" too, and then work on "Fever", but only after we're done with the Madame X articles. I've thought about delaying the tour article after the DVD/Blu-ray release, but it's only a thought, let me know what you think. Alex reach me! 22:11, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * LOL and I've recently started working on that tour's sandbox; I believe it's OK to (and we should) expand it and when the DVD's announced released we can just add it in. What do you say?--Christian (talk) 23:59, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey! Yes I saw it, I think it's a good idea to start now Alex reach me! 00:42, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I think we should split the critical reception section from the tour in two, for the shows in America and the shows in Europe. Alex reach me! 05:54, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I think we can divide reception into two - critical and commercial. The commercial can easily sum up reviews from both US and Europe as there weren't that many countries visited, like Drowned World Tour. What say you?--Christian (talk) 16:11, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi ! Great work on your 'Justify My Love' sandbox! Let me know if you need help! Are you done with "Erotica" and Madame X? If you don't mind, may I suggest finishing one project before moving on to the next? It could make your work a lot whole easier :) --Christian (talk) 17:48, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 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.
 * 🇷🇼 Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
 * Flag of the United Nations.svg Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.

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:

 * Flag of the United Nations.svg Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

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, 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man and 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 Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski,  BennyOnTheLoose, 🇷🇼 Amakuru and  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. 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.

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:


 * 1) 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.
 * 2) 🇨🇽 AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
 * 3) Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
 * 4) Transgender Pride flag.svg Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
 * 5) Vexilloid of the Roman Empire.svg Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.

 * 7) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 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 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the 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:


 * 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.

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.

Madonna
Hi Alex! How are, how you've been? I wanted to ask if you planned on working on more Madonna articles; I recently expanded "Erotica" and once that one gets promoted to GA, we will be one article away from having an Erotica good topic. All that would be missing is "Fever". I want to work on that one as well, but since is a cover, IDK nor am I interested in expanding the information regarding the original and other covers. Would you be interested on helping me with that one? Or do you know anyone who would? I look forward to your answer. Cheers!! Christian (talk) 16:01, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi!! I've been so busy with college so I didn't have time to edit anymore... I'm a bit lost at this moment, I don't know what to do first LOL. I've noticed that "Sorry" and "Get Together" have been delisted as good articles like two years ago (wow!) and I'm planning on rewriting both articles, then finishing "Justify My Love"... Best regards Alex reach me! 00:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That's great to hear! How's college going? Would you be interested in working on "Fever"? Once 'Erotica' gets promoted to GA I'm gonna re-write/expand the rest of the era's articles. So much information that's been left out of many articles; afterwards maybe I'll return to work on more Spanish articles, but we'll see. Hope everything is going well --Christian (talk) 17:38, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That's my last year at college, so I'm not getting much free time atm. I'm really interested in working on "Fever"! But I don't know if I'll have time to do this one, since I only have a month before returning to classes in August, and I really wanna work on some Portuguese articles besides the Madonna ones, but we'll see.

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:


 * Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
 * Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
 * 🇩🇪 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.
 * 🇺🇸 TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
 * 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 LunaEatsTuna,  Thebiguglyalien,  Sammi Brie,  Trainsandotherthings,  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, 🇮🇩 Juxlos,  Unexpectedlydian,  SounderBruce, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Kosack,  BennyOnTheLoose and  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. 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 WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

 * Hi! I’m opposed to this idea, because in my opinion the infobox would get too long with two covers and overlap the other sections. Also, many recent releases received varied covers and they’re not used as well, for example Folklore, Midnights, and Smile, and also Madonna’s own recent albums the alternate covers are mentioned but not used.

 * I was thinking maybe one of the EDM tracks ("God Control" or "I Don't Search I Find") and one of the Portugal based, it could be "Batuka", "Come Alive", "Crazy", we got many options, so the diverse genres could be represented. What do you think? Alex reach me! 15:25, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

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

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to, 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 A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on 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 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 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hey!
Hey you guys! I know I’ve been absent for a while and missed many stuff in relation to the articles I had nominated for GA, but there’s an explanation for this, so bear with me… This last year was such a mess for me both profissional and personally. I graduated in Law in early 2023, but I wasn’t able to find any job in my city. That frustrated me so much that it sent me into a very poor state of mental health, and that’s why I turned to (re)writing articles here, cause it’s one of the things I love doing the most… and how many they were! However, my life took an unexpected turn in January, when I got my first job in in a big city here in Brazil after graduating. That’s a huge deal for me as it’s my first time living by myself (and in a big city!). During my free time I’m trying to concentrate on studying and obviously trying to keep a social life, and a healthy mind and body. I want to come back someday, but I’m so busy right now that I don’t think it’s gonna be possible anytime soon… so except for a few minor edits, I’m gonna be absent for a while, and I hope you can understand me.

My best regards, Alex reach me! 20:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
