:Thank you for this and for the other barnstar, which I never even got around to replying to. Templates are always fun to play with and I'll look at if a national rail timetable template would actually add value. <span style="color:#41c6ff">'''JacobTheRox'''</span><sup>(<b style="color:#ff3087">talk</b>&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;<b style="color:#ff3087">contributions</b>)</sup> 10:44, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello JacobTheRox, I'm reaching out to see if you might have time and interest in reviewing ↗ this article. I thought of asking you specifically because Z1720 recommended I seek your help for mentorship ↗. The article has now been at FAC for three weeks and it has passed the media, prose, MOS compliance, and cite/source formatting review. I'd really appreciate it if you had the chance to take a look. GumballNine1Nine (talk) 14:06, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

:Wow – I'm honoured! I am quite busy this week but I will do a proper review this weekend. I've had a quick read of the article and it looks in generally good shape. <span style="color:#41c6ff">'''JacobTheRox'''</span><sup>(<b style="color:#ff3087">talk</b>&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;<b style="color:#ff3087">contributions</b>)</sup> 10:51, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

WikiCup 2026 July newsletter



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 Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.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:


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! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:49, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
