WikiCup 2022 July newsletter

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • Zulu (International Code of Signals) BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
  • Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 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. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, 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!

Thank you for improving articles in July. - I was away, for hiking in the Swiss Alps and a funeral, more on my talk. Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:00, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Carthaginian Senate

"Going to see about finally getting a Carthaginian Senate article after I'm done with the review". Let me know if you need access to Miles. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild: Will do! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 19:17, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Ah. I was coming here to offer the same. It's very good that you've decided to take this on. Haploidavey (talk) 19:20, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
@Gog the Mild and Haploidavey: It looks like I will need access to Miles; if y'all happen to have a PDF of it hanging around, that would be most convenient, otherwise I can request it through an interlibrary loan. Progress is proceeding well at User:Iazyges/Carthaginian Senate; I think with enough effort the eventual article might qualify for GAN, or perhaps even FAC, although it has taken up something of a characteristic of "History of the Carthaginian Senate as it related to the Punic Wars", as a consequence of the interest of the sources. Other than some incidental mentions from Hoyos, it looks like the only historian willing to speak to the character of the senate itself put pen to paper shortly after the end of the American Civil War... hopefully more can be found.

Yeah, Miles would help. I have a dead tree copy, but this should do it - [1]. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:37, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
@Gog the Mild: Many thanks! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 21:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
That's better than I can offer (another dead tree but lost in a forest of similar) Haploidavey (talk) 06:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
