Your GA nomination of Paris
The article Paris you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Paris for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Adoption Request
I'm new to being involved in formally editing on Wikipedia, and after discovering the adopt-a-user page, decided to ask for a mentorship. Thanks! Creeper Ninja (talk) 02:10, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have my finals coming up in just over a month and won't be able to spend much time on Wikipedia as I'd like. After that I'd be happy to adopt you, but it's probably better if you ask another person to do it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 02:51, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * , I'm also waiting for school to end, so I'd be happy to wait until you're open, if you'd still take me then. Creeper Ninja (talk) 18:54, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure . Remind me on say June 12th if I haven't messaged you by then.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 22:10, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Alrighty! Creeper Ninja (talk) 23:27, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter
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!
