Article - Vital Balla
Greetings Soman, For article Vital Balla that you created way back in 2011, wondering if you could check out the changes I did today? Hoping you can expand the Lead section, and know of a way to de-orphan as the article has no incoming links from other Wikipedia articles. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 15:33, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Hej @Soman - I've removed the PROD from this page and added two sources. It might still be that it is better to redirect to the defunct section of List of political parties in Nepal.  I did also find this:  which indicates a number of press reports from the early 1990s. So it's potentially borderline, but given the votes received (very low hundreds), I'd probably lean to a merge/redirect. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 09:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

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!
