WikiCup 2019 July newsletter

The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with 500 points derived mainly from a featured article and two GAs on natural history topics
• Adam Cuerden, with 480 points, a tally built on 16 featured pictures, the result of meticulous restoration work
• SounderBruce, a finalist in the last two years, with 306 points from a variety of submissions, mostly related to sport or the State of Washington
• Usernameunique, with 305 points derived from a featured article and two GAs on archaeology and related topics

Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi, I tried to add the cites for your DYK hook fact, and now I see you already cited the book. Could you fix up my errant referencing please? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:23, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Early history of Gowa and Talloq

Hi, you have probably done this already, but if not, can I suggest leaving a message on the talk pages of the earlier image and source reviewers, with a link to the reviews, asking for them to rubber stamp this FAC. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:33, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild: I haven't done that. It's a good idea, I'll do it. Thanks. HaEr48 (talk) 19:55, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Fatima bint al-Ahmar

On 26 July 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fatima bint al-Ahmar, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Granadan princess Fatima bint al-Ahmar was described as "surpassing the women of her time like the Night of Power surpasses all the other nights" by the historian Ibn al-Khatib? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fatima bint al-Ahmar. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Fatima bint al-Ahmar), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
