WikiCup 2021 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski,  BennyOnTheLoose, 🇷🇼 Amakuru and  Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, 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). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Speedy deletion nomination of Daljit Singh


A tag has been placed on Daljit Singh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Template:Did you know nominations/Osa Maliki
Soman, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to return to update your proposed ALT1 hook into an ALT1a or ALT2 per the comments there. And while you're at it, should that be "army commander" (a specific one only) or "army commanders"? Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:32, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Russia election result templates
Hello, Soman, the templates you created and I've gone through only a few of them, don't seem to have any practical information or purpose. For some of them, you stated in the edit summaries these were tests. Do you think they should be kept because going through a Tfd process in my view would not be able to be the right venue?
 * I'd ask they be kept, or at least transcluded to the relevant articles. --Soman (talk) 22:34, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * So you'd be in favor of a substitution where they are no longer in template space, but as tables that are part of the articles. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:56, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
