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!

Gymnastics contributions
Just a quick thank you for your contributions to gymnastics articles. Sometimes feels a bit like editing into the void, but wanted to know your work is noticed and appreciated. GauchoDude (talk) 16:28, 23 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much @GauchoDude. I relate very much to the feeling of editing into the void haha, and it feels like there's more work than could possible ever be done. Your help is appreciated as well! :) Riley1012 (talk) 16:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I concur. I've found interest in older gymnasts and gymnastics competitions. The overall lack, or outright inaccuracies, is wild; and that's even within things like the official NCAA record books. GauchoDude (talk) 16:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
