I wanted to award you this barnstar for your incredible dedication to protecting the iPadOS 27 ↗ article today. That was an absolute swarm of sockpuppets we were dealing with, and you took the brunt of the attack to keep the article accurate.

I'm incredibly glad your 24-hour block appeal was successful and overturned so quickly—it was completely obvious you were acting in good faith to defend the page. It was a very chaotic hour, but we got the last word (keeping the 517 byte text), secured the 1-month protection, and finally brought some peace to the article. Glad to have tag-teamed this with you!

The WikiCup



Hi Slackintosh, thanks for your interest in the WikiCup ↗. Unfortunately none of your recent submissions are eligible.

Please see WP:SCO ↗ for more details. I highly encourage you to read the GA criteria ↗ and FA criteria ↗, given that your FA nominations were also recently closed. &ndash; Epicgenius (talk) 16:01, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Your GA Nominations


Please take a look at Wikipedia:Good article instructions ↗. At the top, it mentions, "Nominators should be familiar with the article's subject and cited sources, and must have contributed significantly to the article: they are either the author of at least 10% of the article, or are ranked in the top five in authorship." Please keep that in mind before nominating articles. Unless you've used a different account to contribute to the MacBook Neo ↗ article, it looks like you've only made two trivial edits to the article. Thanks, RecycledPixels (talk) 07:42, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Welcome to The Wikipedia Adventure!

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 Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.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