WikiCup 2022 July newsletter
The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * ICS Zulu.svg BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
 * Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
 * Transgender Pride flag.svg Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Question from TG2312 (00:24, 8 July 2022)
Hello! I just joined Wikipedia and decided to edit the page of British filmmaker Steve McQueen. I wanted to add his upcoming feature film titled “Blitz” to his filmography, but in trying to do so, I completely messed up the coding and somehow all of his accolades and such got smooshed into that filmography section. I have no idea how to fix it. Can you help me? --TG2312 (talk) 00:24, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * At Steve McQueen (director)? Looks like someone already cleared it up for you :).  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 05:38, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

A.C. Monza FA candidate
Hey, how's it going? I see you've reviewed football-related articles for FA in recent years. A.C. Monza has been a candidate for over three weeks, and there are almost no comments. I would really appreciate it if you took some time to leave a comment (it doesn't necessarily have to be a full review) :) Nehme1499 21:11, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Ashen.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ashen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:05, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Question from Shaktischmuck (05:08, 22 July 2022)
Hi I want to write about my brand on wikipedia? how can I do that

Thanks Jyotsna --Shaktischmuck (talk) 05:08, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi - the simple answer is not to. If you have a conflict of interest for a topic, you shouldn't write about them. You should wait until a third party writes about your topic, provided they meet the notability guidelines.  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 12:42, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

GANs
Hi. Would you GA review Federico Gatti and Fabio Miretti? Please, understand that I had nominated them in April, but they haven't been seen yet. Dr Salvus 19:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
