This user is aware of the designation of the following topics as contentious topics: post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles Heshould not be given alerts for those areas.

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 ☎

Re: [1][2]

Can I get you on board with current consensus item 61? Is there a reason it doesn't apply to that thread? ―Mandruss ☎ 14:32, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mandruss I forgot about it tbh, and probably AGF too much. I'll try to remember it next time. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's not about their good faith; we shoot on sight bad faith complaints, per 61. Rather, it's about the time-wasting futility of nonspecific complaints. ―Mandruss ☎ 03:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yankees10, they should have been warned. I warned them. We encourage IPs to register accounts so I think they need more appropriate warnings for a block. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Your submission of Ken Goldin at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! —Bagumba (talk) 19:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Muboshgu! Since you are listed as an active member of the United States Presidents WikiProject, would you mind leaving a comment at a project talk page discussion about a series of templates that I created for the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush? Another editor and myself disagree about whether there should be a separate navigation template for each Presidency apart from the biographical navigation template. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 22:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - thanks at least for labeling my edits "good faith"; they are.

My question is: if a different Republican nominee were to win the November 2024 election - would Project 2025's planks, recommendations, etc., be different? I imagine not, and their website makes no reference to President Trump. These are among the reasons I think simply saying "the Republican" or "conservative" nominee in the lede makes more sense.

Best,

Kaisershatner (talk) 17:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kaisershatner, your edit was clearly good faith and not enough editors here assume that. You ask an interesting question that I do not know the answer to. You may well be right. Of course, it's Trump allies who are behind it and it is their plan for Trump to be president as they execute it. This question would be better asked on the article's talk page so others can more easily see it and engage. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - just saw this, and again, thanks.

I have edited on the talk page as well and will take this there. Presuming NPOV as a first principle - the article comes up short, whatever WP:Consensus currently is. However I will respect the process and will note that there. As the editor who reverted me, I'd appreciate your directly reply there as well, if amenable.

Best,

Kaisershatner (talk) 17:49, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Recently a user put this at the beginning of the Project 2025 article: Not to be confused with Donald Trump's package of proposals, Agenda 47.[3]

Do you think it should be reverted by WP:NPOV? It seems like an attempt to unlink Trump from the 2025 project with the endorsement of Wikipedia. This is even more controversial considering that the Trump campaign initially said that Project 2025 aligned well with its Agenda 47 proposals.[4] Additionally, there is no evidence that there is a common confusion between the two terms. They don't even have similar names, and little or nothing has been said or mentioned about agenda 47.

I'm asking you this because you are a very important user on Wikipedia and also because you have made reversals in the Project 2025 article about WP:NPOV. Esterau16 (talk) 19:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Esterau16, I had not heard of Agenda 47. This is again a subject better discussed on the article's talk page rather than mine. I haven't checked it in a few hours to know if you have or not. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the 2nd game of a DH, when adding the 27th player, it would make sense to DO a (2nd game) note for that date only. I don't see why there is any problem, as long as there is no error made. And there was no error, to use a BB term. Just because it "isn't done" doesn't mean it is forbidden by the rules. Lighten up already, and let more info be allowed! MondayMonday1966 (talk) 01:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MondayMonday1966, it isn't a matter of me needing to "lighten up". It's a matter of following WP:DATEFORMAT. Your previous edit confused another user. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She not gonna let you hit bro Kyūka96 (talk) 13:01, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kyūka96, if you make one more unconstructive edit, like the one you made on my talk page, I will block you. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:24, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
