And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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.
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. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

There was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter; L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead,
Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:30, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are well. I'm concerned about the arguments raised here. I read WP:RS, and bias is clearly not a reason for sources to be blacklisted in Wikipedia, even if it is a bias against Wikipedia. In fact, there's an entire article devoted to Criticism of Wikipedia which has reliable sources. No examples are provided of a lack of editorial oversight or inaccurate reporting, so it seems the discussion is based more on retaliation than reason. Blacklisting sources without sound reasoning risks NPOV. In your experience, what's the best way to refute these assertions? Moksha88 (talk) 05:00, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

The article Vastupala you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Vastupala for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi, You have just reverted my edits, which was edited after prolonged discussions with an Editor. you have raised WP:AGF, I'm unable to see, what was wrong in my edit or How do you come to a conclusion that, my edit was not in Good faith? Could you please explain the reasons for your revert? Santoshdts (talk) 14:16, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
The purpose of the raid could have been Political, Economic in nature and undoubtedly Iconoclasm was also one of the reason.[4] Some Muslim writers established connections to an idol of "Manāt" from Ka‘ba with Somanatha. They said "Somanatha or Somnāt (as it was often rendered in Persian) was a garbled version of su-manāt — referring to the goddess Manāt.”[5]
The identification of Somnath idol with that of Manat has little historical credibility. There is no evidence to suggest that the temple housed an image of Manat. Nevertheless, the story is significant to the reconstruction of the aftermath of the event since it is closely tied to the kind of legitimation which was being projected for Mahmud.
Thanks, I shall henceforth take care of capitals in such scenarios. I agree with your interpretation on manat. Even I don't have any issue of that being removed. Then my contention is, what is the whole section on Somanath Templeton doing in the main article on Manat? However, the motive of the destruction of temple and joytirling can still remain leaving out the manat part. Thanks. Santoshdts (talk) 14:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nizil shah...I hope you are well during these times. Can you guide me with this? The link to the 2020 version was sent to me by a colleague in Mumbai at midday today....they wanted to extend appreciation to UK key workers. The lyrics are incredible and the story of the song more complex than initially appears. It appears that Modi and the Indian cricket team have also used the lyrics. Sorry...I wasn't sure who else to turn to. The Hindi is correct (I can read and write it).Whispyhistory (talk) 23:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi..Your thoughts? May be one of your colleagues can fix. Some clarity probably required here. Vimla Sood qualified in 1944 is listed as India's first woman dentist. Dentist Fatima Jinnah, who studied under Rafiuddin Ahmed (dentist), qualified earlier in 1923. There was also another female dentist who qualified in 1928 (Tabitha Solomon), who incidentally has been on my to do list. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:26, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
