Question from Nicholas Cusanus on User talk:Nicholas Cusanus (11:22, 23 June 2024)
Could you advise me on the last edit. It says the article needs reliae sources, but it is not made clear which items need to be sourced. All current links come from well known universities and publishers. --Nicholas Cusanus (talk) 11:22, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

The following editors all scored more than 400 points in Round 3:


 * with 1,059 points, mostly from 1 featured article on DeLancey W. Gill, 11 good articles, 18 did you know nominations, and dozens of reviews;
 * with 673 points, mostly from 2 featured articles on Worlds (Porter Robinson album) and I'm God, 5 good articles, and 2 did you know nominations;
 * with 557 points, mostly from 1 featured article on KNXV-TV, 5 good articles, and 8 did you know nominations; and
 * with 415 points, mostly from 1 featured article on Great cuckoo-dove, with a high number of bonus points from that article.

The full scores for round 3 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 28 featured articles, 38 featured lists, 240 good articles, 92 in the news credits, and at least 285 did you know credits. They have conducted 279 featured article reviews, as well as 492 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 22 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed during Round 4, which starts on 1 July at 00:00 (UTC). 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 for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

GA reviews (WP:DCWC)
Hi Ixtal, c/o ping sawyer777 TechnoSquirrel69. The first issues have arisen regarding this competition and reviews, please see Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations and this user talk thread. Given there have been significant recent issues surrounding poor WP:GAN reviews, and GAN can be an individual process, this could exacerbate issues there. It would be very helpful if something could be worked up to emphasis the importance of reviews being of good quality even more explicitly, perhaps on the main points table. The 1000 bytes should probably be a minimum, and I might even suggest explicitly requiring 1) a specific mention of each WP:GACR, and 2) explicit mention of source spotchecks (source spotchecks are now a requirement for all GANs so it would be helpful to make that clear here too) at /Scoring. Happy to bounce ideas around, best, CMD (talk) 12:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * i've added a little bit to the GANR section of the scoring page ... sawyer  * he/they *  talk  19:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Chipmunkdavis. It seems the procedural aspects of the GAN reviews have been handled, and I've declined the submissions with some suggestions to the editor for improvement. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 22:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Way too crazy (20:34, 5 July 2024)
can you introduce me to wikipedia --Way too crazy (talk) 20:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I'd be glad to, ! Since the wikipedia is all about editing articles and editing content, perhaps a good first step would be to think of topic areas you are interested in? For example, I often edit articles related to my home team, books, and historical eras I'm interested in. — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) &#8258; Sign up for the 2024 DCWC! — Non nobis solum ♠ 01:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
