I came to thank you for her article, and the many others before, yesterday, but then saw the TFA coming up, on a meaningful date. Thank you today for Nestor Makhno, about "a Ukrainian anarchist revolutionary who led the Makhnovist movement and its insurgent army during the Ukrainian War of Independence. I spent a good portion of last year researching Makhno and expanding the article, completing a peer review from fellow editors and a good article review from someone with expertise in the subject matter."! - Listen to music from Ukraine if you like, - I heard it in 2022, and the November concert raised a truckload of winter clothes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 24 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for sharing this music with me! It's quite different from the fundraising concerts I've attended, which have been largely punk and metal in orientation! Glad to hear it got so many winter clothes sent out, that's a vital humanitarian effort. --Grnrchst (talk) 16:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

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


 * , who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
 * , who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews

 * , who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

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!

New user page just dropped
If you're wondering why my long redlinked signature has now turned blue, it's because after nearly 5 years on the platform, I finally decided to create a user page. Here I wanted to introduce myself, outline my goals and show off some of the things I have achieved during my time here. It's not much, but it's something. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
