Promotion of Addie Viola Smith

Congratulations, Voorts! The article you nominated, Addie Viola Smith, 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 The nomination discussion has been archived.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) 00:05, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving article quality in June, such as this new FA! When should it run for TFA? Any specific day, or just soon? - Today we have a centenarian story (documentation about it by Percy Adlon) and an article that had two sentences yesterday and was up for deletion, and needs a few more citations. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:18, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soon works for me. I think I have a couple of FAs that I still haven't nominated at TFA. I'm also just getting back from vacation. I hope you're enjoying your summer. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 01:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Well he would, wouldn't he?, introduced: "Tim O'Doherty and I would nominate this article, wouldn't we?" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! voorts (talk/contributions) 21:17, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Addie Viola Smith - feel free to trim the blurb and support! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Bantu knots

Hello, Voorts. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Bantu knots".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 July newsletter

The third round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 June. As with Round 2, this round was competitive: each of the 16 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 256 points.

The following editors all scored more than 400 points in Round 3:

Generalissima (submissions) with 1,059 points, mostly from 1 featured article on DeLancey W. Gill, 11 good articles, 18 did you know nominations, and dozens of reviews;
Skyshifter (submissions) with 673 points, mostly from 2 featured articles on Worlds (Porter Robinson album) and I'm God, 5 good articles, and 2 did you know nominations;
Sammi Brie (submissions) with 557 points, mostly from 1 featured article on KNXV-TV, 5 good articles, and 8 did you know nominations; and
AryKun (submissions) with 415 points, mostly from 1 featured article on Great cuckoo-dove, with a high number of bonus points from that article.

The full scores for round 3 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 28 featured articles, 38 featured lists, 240 good articles, 92 in the news credits, and at least 285 did you know credits. They have conducted 279 featured article reviews, as well as 492 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 22 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed during Round 4, which starts on 1 July 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. 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 for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
