The fourth round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 29 August. Each of the 8 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 472 points, and the following contestants scored more than 700 points:

• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,150 points, mostly from 3 featured articles, 2 featured lists, 7 good articles, and 13 did you know nominations;
• Arconning (submissions) with 791 points, mostly from 2 featured lists, 8 good articles, 4 did you know nominations, and plenty of reviews;

• BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 714 points, mostly from 1 featured article on Susanna Hoffs, 2 featured lists, and 3 good articles.

Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated. Contestants put in extraordinary amounts of effort during this round, and their scores can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 36 featured articles, 55 featured lists, 15 good articles, 93 in the news credits, and at least 333 did you know credits. They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. 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 for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further 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.

Hi, you removed the Efn footnotes I added on the Australian Survivor Network 10 season articles. The season numbering is supremely confusing because Network 10 discounts the first 2 seasons on Nine and Seven. Can I add them back? Also, maybe we could do a small text underneath the infobox saying Season 6 of Network 10 edition. MarkiPoli (talk) 11:51, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus on Australian Survivor talk page is to use production company season numbering on main and season artices, not the Network 10 season numbering. If you would like to change this, you could start a discussion on talk page to gain consensus for this addition or change, but it in general feels unnecessary and more confusing to be adding Network 10 season numbering.

Hi. Please do not use the teaser poster and label it as the "theatrical release poster" on the article for Wicked (2024 film) . You can tell it is the teaser poster because of the "This films I not yet rated" description. The theatrical poster is newer, has the rating certification, and was the poster used to display the full billing block. WickedFanAccount (talk) 06:39, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current poster isn't the teaser poster. This was a teaser poster. Happily888 (talk) 06:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As was the current one. Theatrical posters have the billing block. I can't find the digital version with a billing block, but I provided proof of the theater poster with billing block being the one I linked to in the discussion. WickedFanAccount (talk) 06:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		The Good Article Rescue Barnstar
		This is presented to you by the GAR process in recognition of your sterling work in helping Wicked (musical) retain its Good Article status. Please feel free to display the GA icon on your userpage. Keep up the good work! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:53, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: Thanks! Happily888 (talk) 02:09, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wicked (2024 film). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:06, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Happily888,

While you haven't broken 3RR on this article lately, you still are reverting a lot of contributions from other editors in a rather knee-jerk fashion. Please remember that there are very few exceptions to the edit-warring prohibition, none of which seem to apply here. Please consider talking, on an editor's user talk page or on the article talk page, rather than making a lot of edit reverts in this article.

I decided to post this notice today as this article is going to be seeing a lot of activity over the next few days and so there might be temptation to revert a lot of new editors but please think twice about doing that so you don't cross that 3RR bright red line. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:11, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
