Thank you for your recent contributions to <a href="/wiki/Enterprise_High_School_(Alabama)" title="Enterprise High School (Alabama)">Enterprise High School (Alabama)</a>. I noticed that when you added the image to the <a href="/wiki/MOS:INFOBOX" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:INFOBOX">infobox</a>, you added it as a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Thumbnail" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Thumbnail">thumbnail</a>. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:INFOBOXIMAGE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:INFOBOXIMAGE">WP:INFOBOXIMAGE</a>). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|image=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]</var></code> Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|image=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">SomeImage.jpg</var></code>. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|caption=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">Some image caption</var></code>. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation.

It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified.

It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. <a href="/wiki/User:Coemgenus" title="User:Coemgenus">Coemgenus</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:Freikorp" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Freikorp">Freikorp</a> tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine. Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by <a href="/wiki/User:MPJ-DK" title="User:MPJ-DK">MPJ-DK</a> as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. <a href="/wiki/User:PanagiotisZois" title="User:PanagiotisZois">PanagiotisZois</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:SounderBruce" title="User:SounderBruce">SounderBruce</a> achieved their first ever featured articles. <a href="/wiki/User:Carbrera" title="User:Carbrera">Carbrera</a> led the GA score with 10, <a href="/wiki/User:Tachs" title="User:Tachs">Tachs</a> achieved 17 DYKs and <a href="/wiki/User:MBlaze_Lightning" title="User:MBlaze Lightning">MBlaze Lightning</a> 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed. As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile <a href="/wiki/User:Yellow_Evan" title="User:Yellow Evan">Yellow Evan</a>, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and <a href="/wiki/User:Freikorp" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Freikorp">Freikorp</a> topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to 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. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews">Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews</a>. 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!

Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all! Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews">Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews</a>.

It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. <a href="/wiki/User:Casliber" title="User:Casliber">Casliber</a>, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by <a href="/wiki/User:Enwebb" title="User:Enwebb">Enwebb</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:Lee_Vilenski" title="User:Lee Vilenski">Lee Vilenski</a>, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was <a href="/wiki/User:SounderBruce" title="User:SounderBruce">SounderBruce</a>, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round. Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, <a href="/wiki/User:Adam_Cuerden" title="User:Adam Cuerden">Adam Cuerden</a> scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while <a href="/wiki/User:Kosack" title="User:Kosack">Kosack </a> performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. 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 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.</li></ul> 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews">Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews</a>.

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.

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.

The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/File:Royal_standard_of_England_(1406%E2%80%931603).svg" class="mw-file-description" title="England"><noscript><img alt="England"

scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews. Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews">Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews</a>.

Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants. Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews_Needed" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed">Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed</a>.

very short reviews will generally not be awarded 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews_Needed" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed">Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed</a> (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

It was a high-scoring start to the competition. These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date 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 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews_Needed" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed">Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed</a>.
