The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

• Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
• Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
• Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

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 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Always a pleasure to see your work. ―Buster7 ☎

Any chance you can merge Ignacio Alvarez (baseball) history with Nacho Alvarez Jr? Yankees10 22:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and split – Muboshgu (talk) 23:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you also merge Jasrado Chisholm to Jazz Chisholm Jr.? Probably should have happened years ago.-- Yankees10 23:36, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:32, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, when Kennedy does eventually meet 270 Electoral Votes, will he actually finally be added to the 2024 United States Presidential Election infobox? Like, are you sure that's it, or is there a possibility a whole new other debate is created, like "oh no, Kennedy actually needs to do this this and this to be added." Sorry for the bother. Lostfan333 (talk) 20:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you asking me here and not asking on the article talk page? I don't make the rules but I know there is a talk page consensus. If it were up to me, he wouldn't be added to the info box unless he receives 5% of the vote. Which I doubt will happen, just as much as I doubt he'll get access to 270 EVs (as write in access doesn't count). – Muboshgu (talk) 21:00, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, so I can't talk to you now?? I was just asking a question. And since you love predicting the future, if Kennedy does reach those 270, I prematurely told you so. And you can't stop me from asking you questions. Lostfan333 (talk) 21:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And I asked you as opposed to the article talk page cause I ONLY wanted to know YOUR opinion, even if I don't like it. Lostfan333 (talk) 21:38, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say you can't post here, I believe that article issues should stay on article talk pages for the sake of centralizing discussion. That, and I'm just one schmuck on the Internet, so my opinion doesn't matter that much. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:05, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion doesn't matter that much? Bro, I've seen you end countless of article arguments before. Stop acting, you know your opinions matter. They matter to me, regardless if I like them or not. Lostfan333 (talk) 22:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only arguments that need ending. We all collaborate with our varied opinions. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:31, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello-- I see you redirected Flojaune Cofer to the mayor's race entry. You also started drafting a page for Dr. Cofer. I replaced your initial draft with a longer copy, and submitted it to article for creation. It was promptly deemed by the old white guys in the UK to be "not notable" and rejected as an article.

Dr. Cofer is well-written about in secondary sources, spanning years. I can't imagine why these editors would say the subject isn't notable, and they refuse to say why they think she isn't notable.

I have a conflict in that I know the subject personally and have acted as an attorney for her. And so, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to just publish the page.

Could you help get the article up? Draft:Flojaune_Cofer Jon Ivy (talk) 16:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jonivy, I created the redirect and started the draft, yes. Sometimes these candidates are notable before they are elected, but other times they are not, and AFC reviewers often default to not. I saw your edits to the draft and have it in mind to get back to it, but I have definitely been distracted this past week by Kamala news. I will take a look at the Cofer draft soon. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:26, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your reversions earlier but the trade was finalized and announced by the Cardinals just now. I went ahead and returned the Tommy Pham page to the Cardinals, but this should unblock all of the other players included as well. Boilerball1 (talk) 20:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Boilerball1, do not make unsourced changes to articles. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

https://x.com/Cardinals/status/1818019045305892949

I'm working to find a non-primary source but this has been announced by the Cardinals Boilerball1 (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that. The tweet is good enough for now, but some source has to support the change in the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:40, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey... I had been using the refill tool to fix bare urls in articles but it seems to be gone or not working [1].. do you know if there is another tool that can be used for that? Spanneraol (talk) 22:47, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spanneraol, https://refill.toolforge.org/ng is operational. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:50, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Spanneraol (talk) 22:57, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
