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!

Rihanna - Unfaithful Canadian Singles Chart Peak at #1
Hi. I started a new topic on the talk page for the Rihanna - Unfaithful article and intended to tag you, though I'm not sure if I did it correctly.

I came across the article for this song out of curiosity after editing the List of number-one singles of 2006 (Canada) article and saw you added a source stating Unfaithful reached #1 on the Canadian Singles Chart. However, on the number-one 2006 Canadian Singles article, Unfaithful was never listed as having reached #1 as a physical single, only SOS was. Unfortunately, now that canoe.ca is excluded from the Wayback Machine, it is currently impossible for me to verify if the source you added is true.

Could I get confirmation from you that the source is true before adding it to the number-one 2006 Canadian Singles article? Marcohcanada (talk) 20:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
