The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
 * 🇯🇵 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
 * Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
 * Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" 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 equally.

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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Your GA nomination of Columbidae
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Columbidae you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of ProgrammingGeek -- ProgrammingGeek (talk) 13:40, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

GAN stuff
Hi Adityavagarwal. While I'm all for you in the Wikicup (and congrats on making it past round 3), but I'd like to, as kindly as possible, ask you to withdraw the GAN on Wild horse. The article isn't at all suitable, as we don't want to turn it into a fork from the horse article. I am trying to explain to some other editors at the talk page. That said, if you want to get a few WikiCup points (4) for a GA review, your friend White Arabian Filly has got Welsh Pony and Cob up for GAN... I worked on it too (full disclosure), but she volunteered to do the heavy lifting. I see she reviewed one of your articles, so perhaps...? Montanabw (talk) 03:43, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey! I apologize for the late response. Actually, I was unable to log on to Wikipedia as I was not having time. Also, I did not know I had received notifications which were a bit different than what I normally got. If I knew, I would try to reply earlier. Also, kindly or rudely, it does not matter to me. I am an all-fine person and take everything only positively, or if it goes negatively, I take them neutrally instead! Also, the Wikicup points matter way lesser than contributing to Wikipedia. I am also trying to establish a local Wikipedia club or something like that so that even more people can contribute and all. Also, thank you very much for taking the time to explain me that there were disputes with that article. Also, please do correct me if I go wrong anywhere. (Thank you in advance for correcting me in the future too!) Actually, White Arabian Filly reviewed not one but three of the articles for me. :) However, White Arabian Filly has got some relative's marriage and might not be able to give much time for a few days, now. Even if the time could be given to the review, I doubt if I could do a really quality review, like the other better editors ( like Filly, you, and many more :) ). Do you think I should review that article? Montanabw Adityavagarwal (talk) 17:17, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
