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!

DYK for Canada Centre Building

Help? for plot summary
Hi, would you mind terribly trimming the bloated plot summary I've written for Flypaper (1998 film). The article is being reviewed for DYK at Template:Did you know nominations/Flypaper (1998 film), where the reviewer insists that it could be shorter even tho I explained basically that it's impossible and that WP:FILMPLOT wasn't a rigid rule. I would really appreciate it if you could help with shortening it, even if it means losing the 5x expansion criterion it may have once had as a result of the copy edit. Thanks Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 13:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I've read through the article and will start copyediting the plot now. I may have a couple questions which I'll post below. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:35, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Finished. A couple things I changed which might not be right:
 * With the discussion about the parking lot and "driving around the complex", it sounded more like a motel than a hotel so I changed that.
 * The term henchman implies criminal activity so I switched to a more neutral "employee".
 * I wasn't sure why Jack would hit Bobby with a golf club then exchange gunfire unless he only obtained the gun by knocking it out of Bobby's hand with the golf club. So I assumed that happened and wrote it that way.
 * Sorry. What happened was that Bobby Ray kept pounding the door, so Jack told Natalie to open it just to hit him with the club to keep him out. Bobby then shoots through the door and then Jack shoots back, hence the gunfire exchange. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 04:11, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Otherwise I pretty much condensed it, put similar thoughts together, and trimmed some details that didn't seem important. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. I never thought it was possible. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 04:11, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of eyes. When I've been staring at my own writing too long, I'll sometimes get blocked and have to ask someone else to look at it. – Reidgreg (talk) 12:10, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
