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.

Is it okay if I modify this topicon so that it sorts userpages transcluding it into Category:Completionist Wikipedians? (While also adding a nocat option for anyone that doesn't want their userpage in the category.) All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 02:27, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Tatannuaq

Hi Generalissima, don't get too stressed by the Tatannuaq article. What is there is in excellent shape and you're obviously a naturally good writer, which is most of the battle in getting to FA. I just think that there is more in the untapped sources that will make him come off the page a bit more. Quotes from the people who knew him would be excellent, and well as some bits of personal info on him (although as an Inuit, the written records will unfortunately be scarce). The co-ords are reasonable people, and as I've asked them to allow you some extra time (and as the nom hasn't been running too long), they should be good enough to give you some flexibility on the point. I look forward to seeing the results of your diving into the extra sources, and if you need any help, please do let me know. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 22:12, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Jews in Madagascar GAR

Hi Generalissima,

do you still want to do the Jews in Madagascar review? I don’t mind at all if you have too much on your plate for it. Let me know, and thank you!

P.S. I don’t know the protocol for closing an incomplete review and re-nominating, though. Zanahary (talk) 18:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I have been particularly busy lately with schooling and the Wikicup and have not been able to do it the justice I would want to. I'm so sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

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!
