Hi A.Cython, I trust you're well. I currently have Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ewuare/archive1 and wish you could do a source review or anything you want with it. Thank you! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:41, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces: No promises but I will try to do a source review in the following days or next week.

If you fancy and have time, I also have a FAC nomination, which would benefit from a review from a seasoned reviewer.A.Cython(talk) 16:21, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I sincerely appreciate your DYK contributions. Do you have any articles you may be working on that somehow relate to France that could be featured in a set for Bastille Day? The oldest subject I plan to work on so far goes back to only the 18th century. Best, Thriley (talk) 03:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Thriley: Well the closest that I have is the Battle of the Volturnus (554), when a large Frankish army invaded and pillaged Italy during the Gothic War. The article just got assessed for B-class, and I intent to improve it further for GA in the following days. But even if this is relevant (not sure how the French view the Franks or even interesting enough), it will take some time to get it there. Let me know your thoughts. A.Cython(talk) 04:06, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Activities of Franks outside the borders of modern France is probably not Bastille Day worthy. If you make any quick start class articles you think might work, please let me know. Again, thank you for your contributions! Thriley (talk) 03:42, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Thriley: FYI I overhauled Theudebert I (early Frankish king) and I am planning to bring it to GA status in the following weeks (through the GARC) and then to DYK nomination. Currently submitted for B-class at WPMH. It will be a close call to get it through a GA review on time, but doable if we are a bit lucky with a responsive reviewer. I have been working on the Gothic War the last few months and he was in the ToDo list but not a priority until you wrote. Let me know your thoughts. A.Cython(talk) 03:20, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful work. The set now has five biographies, which is the limit for a set. I look forward to seeing the article on the front page, it just won't make this set unfortunately. Thank you for letting me know. Thriley (talk) 04:02, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Thriley: That's good to know, it will be also a stretch to get it to GA in time so it is better this way. Next year 😄 A.Cython(talk) 04:05, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The third round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 28 June at 23:59 (UTC). As a reminder, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, while peer reviews, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 3 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points; eight scored over 500; and thirteen scored over 300. The top three contestants had at least one featured article (two of them with two apiece). The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• MCE89 (submissions) with 1567 points, mainly from good and featured articles about Australian people and geography, as well as some article reviews
• Bgsu98 (submissions) with 1547 points, mainly from good articles, featured articles, featured lists, and a good topic about figure skating, along with 20 article reviews
• Reconrabbit (submissions) with 1004 points, mainly from a high-multiplier featured article on European rabbit and several good articles, DYKs, and reviews
• A.Cython (submissions) with 1004 points, mainly from good articles about warfare, along with 22 article reviews
• Generalissima (submissions) with 859 points, mainly from good and featured articles about rivers and East Asian topics

The full scores for round 3 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 12 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 7 featured-topic articles, 117 good articles, 74 good-topic articles and more than 30 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 13 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 180 reviews. The tournament points table has been updated.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4. 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!
