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
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 ☎
I suppose that Manny Ramirez, Jake Westbrook, 1924 World Series, 1997 World Series, and a few other pages will soon be extended-confirmed (i.e. 30 days, 500 edits) protected. If you think that would be a good thing, I guess you could do it yourself right now or request it, since it will happen soon enough anyway. If you're not so sure, you could take a look at the recent edits and restore whatever you deem to be an improvement, going only by actual content, to which reverters have given no consideration whatsoever. By doing that, you would not only improve the articles, but also likely keep them open to edits by somewhat new users.
I really regret that it has gotten to this point. I figured that people would restore clearly good edits and take a look at others, which has sometimes happened, but a clear mistake has been restored 25 times at Mark Geragos, and flawed versions of other pages also remain in place, some with extended-confirmed protection.
Ironically, this all came about in part because things are not always carefully checked, as the circumstances surrounding the Porter and Jick letter illustrate. This caused me a lot of frustration, especially when something I tried to bring about got screwed up. It was not a point-of-view issue, but rather a mix-up between subtopics and a few other confusing statements. This isn't relevant to the aforementioned articles, even the Porter and Jick one, but understanding this, maybe you won't feel like you "should probably leave the mistakes as they are", as you said after being confronted about this earlier. 220.90.95.129 (talk) 18:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2024).
Hi, I see you reverted my edit around the addition of a "Controversies" subtitle. The three paragraph portion of the section (which is already separated from the rest of the "Career" section) addresses legal misconduct, which is already pretty significant in length. As per WP:CRITICISM, I can perhaps alter the subtitle so it specifies that these are legal controversies or legal misconduct specifically if that would be better suited. Otherwise, I'm curious as to why this should not be added. In addition, despite the edit summary, typically reversion should not be used in cases when "edits [...] neither improve nor harm the article." Let me know - thanks! digiulio8 (talk) 00:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hunter Biden is under an enforced BRD restriction, which I think your most recent revert violated. The letter of that sanction is really giving first-mover advantage to the flood of inexperienced editors responding to the news, but I don't think there's much we can do except raise visibility and pray for ECP.

Hello Muboshgu, I noticed that my recent edits to the Donald Trump 2024 campaign article were reverted, and I wanted to discuss this further to understand how we can improve the article together. My intention with the edits was to ensure neutrality and balance, as per Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) guidelines. I aimed to remove biased language and provide a more balanced portrayal of policy issues and perspectives, including viewpoints from both supporters and critics. Here are some specific changes I made: Replaced loaded language with more neutral terms. Included both positive and negative perspectives on key campaign issues. Ensured that policy descriptions were presented factually and without bias. I believe these changes contribute to a more comprehensive and unbiased article. Could you please provide feedback on what specific aspects of my edits were problematic, and how I might revise them to better align with Wikipedia’s standards? Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, Augustus2714 71.70.226.246 (talk) 01:44, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trump has campaigned on vastly expanding the authority of the executive branch, for instance, I think is an improvement. Other parts of your edit removed important nuance and facts in various places. For instance, I think it is a must that we note that Trump's allegations of fraud in the 2020 election are false. We cannot equivocate on things like that.
