DYK for Geoff Bent

On 7 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Geoff Bent, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Geoff Bent, one of Manchester United's Busby Babes, saved a child from drowning in a canal? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Geoff Bent. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Geoff Bent), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

WikiCup 2023 July newsletter

The third round of the 2023 WikiCup has come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 175 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

Contestants achieved 11 featured articles, 2 featured lists, 47 good articles, 72 featured or good article reviews, over 100 DYKs and 40 ITN appearances. As always, 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 at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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!

Review request

Hi Harrias. As the holder of many an FA and a GA, I wonder if you would be kind enough to review the Christ Church Ground, which I have nominated for GA status? Quite an interesting ground, and it would be nice to get a varsity/minor counties venue to GA status. StickyWicket aka AA (talk) 23:19, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

@StickeyWicket: I'm super busy in 'real-life' at the moment (have an interview at work for a promotion later this week), but if it is still around when I have more availability, I'll absolutely take a look. Harrias (he/him) • talk 08:59, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Best of luck with the interview! It will probably still be around, I haven't 'advertised' the nomination as yet. Cheers, StickyWicket aka AA (talk) 09:47, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Promotion of Geoff Bent

Congratulations, Harrias! The article you nominated, Geoff Bent, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.
This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 12:05, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 1992 Football League Cup final you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

The article 1992 Football League Cup final you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold .

Well done!

Adamson Tannehill FAC review

Hello Harrias, thanks very much for taking on my FAC, Adamson Tannehill!! I really appreciate your comments. I'll get to them as soon as I can, but it may take a little time. I hope this is okay. I'm relatively new to the "latest" Wikipedia, following a 15-year hiatus, so I may have a few questions as I move along. I also have another set of reviewer comments that I have to address at the same time. Cheers! Tfhentz (talk) 14:50, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

A category or categories you have created have been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming.

Hi Harrias, Sorry to ping you again, but could you possibly take a look at my Sources revisions in Adamson Tannehill when you have a chance?

WikiCup 2024 February newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), 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 Wikipedia: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!
