I'll be at a research program in California from June 30-July 27, 2024 and may not be able to answer to messages in a timely manner. I also probably won't be available to edit much or edit at erratic times when I can during that time. I know I've been saying I'm busy a lot, but I have tons of real life stuff to do - I don't live on Wikipedia after all.

Thank you for improving article quality in June! - 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) 21:11, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

There are many wrong information abailable the wikipedia platform which are widely monitored by themselves. Whenever someone correct those edits they are keeping an eye to unbring the changes in to the page. What is to be done in those circumstances? --Muhammed Anas N M (talk) 10:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. If I am correct, yes we do undo unconstructive edits on Wikipedia. However, if a constructive edit is reverted (often in good faith), please check over your edit and make sure it is sourced, has a edit summary and follows Wikipedia guidelines regarding style (WP:MOS) and discuss it on the talkpage.
