Idol 2021 (Sweden) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Idol 2021 (Sweden), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Jonelle Matthews
Hi. Regarding one of your changes to the Jonelle Matthews page, I have to disagree with you removing the "solved cases" tag. She was a high-profile disappearance case for nearly 40 years. One of the first milk carton kids. Her disappearance noted by President Reagan in one of his speeches. The disappearance has now been solved, but the case has only been considered a murder for a year. When you take all that into consideration, isn't it appropriate to keep the "solved" tag at the page. Her case was a disappearance for a long time but having discovered her remains doesn't make the disappearance piece disappear, right? Looking forward to your comments in response. Thanks!

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were


 * Free Hong Kong flag.svg Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
 * 🇮🇩HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to 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. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on 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.

Considering retirement
Hi, I hope all is well. I have been through some very unpleasent, surprising, and abrupt times as of late. I may not to be able to continue editing much longer for multiple reasons and may soon de-activate my account, thought I might return at a later date. I would like to stay in touch with you through some method, so if you are OK with that and know of one please let me know. Davidgoodheart (talk) 02:04, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I think you are making a mistake. I suggest you simply take a wikibreak for a month. And if you can handle not editing for a month then perhaps consider leaving the project without scrambling your password etc. I think a wikibreak is what you need, personally. I do not know your personal problems, but usually a thing that can look to though to handle today. Is a thing that you might be able to handle tomorrow. Hope to hear from you soon. I was about to contact you myself, you got to me first. :)--BabbaQ (talk) 17:56, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If you want some disctration, take a look at my article about John Ingvar Lövgren. Any help is appreciated.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:30, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Please check out my latest conversations with Iredescent and Trekker on their talk pages. It will tell you why I might need to retire which reasons include possible problems that I may be facing with editing and what I will do in the future. I checked out your article and made some improvements to it as well. Davidgoodheart (talk) 00:15, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If I do retire it won't be for a while as I still have a lot of editing to do. Speaking of which do you think that you could help me add entries to List of unsolved murders? I have been having to add many entries by myself which has been very hard. With your help I could get this done a lot quicker which would make it A LOT easier for me. If so I will give you some entries to add and will be VERY thankful to get some help with this. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:55, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Explaining the situation
One of the reasons why I have considered retirement is because of all the editing I am doing all by myself. Do you think you could add some entries to the Lists of unsolved murders if I give you some to add to it as this is a list I am always adding entries to. It would make my editing job MUCH easier!
