Question from Skvjold (02:40, 17 June 2026)



:''Note: Skvjold's mentor Justiyaya is away.''
Hi- I'm hoping you can refer me to another mentor who can answer a citation question for me (and I hope you've got something nice planned for your time away!). Thank you in advance --Skvjold (talk) 02:40, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hi there, since Justiyaya (your original mentor) is away, I will be happy to answer whatever questions you have about citation. Feel free to post it anytime on my talk page :) <span style="color:#C01933">'''~delta'''</span> <sub>{<span style="color:#003366">'''talk'''</span> • <span style="color:#003366">'''cont'''</span> ↗ • 🇰🇷 ↗ • 🎢 ↗}</sub> 16:27, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Skvjold (02:33, 29 June 2026)



:''Note: Skvjold's mentor Justiyaya is away.''
Hi Justiyaya-
I have been working on a draft article in what I thought was my sandbox. I did the most recent edits in the middle of last week. I returned to edit today and see no sign of the draft, and nothing in my log history that suggests it was deleted. Can you help? thank you in advance,
Skvjold --Skvjold (talk) 02:33, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

:@~delta Can you help me over this hump? See question to @Justinaya above. Thank you! Skvjold (talk) 02:43, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
::Of course I can help you - if you have any questions related to editing, feel free to ask anytime! First though, can you please let me know the title of the draft that you were working on so I can give a better answer? <span style="color:#C01933">'''~delta'''</span> <sub>{<span style="color:#003366">'''talk'''</span> • <span style="color:#003366">'''cont'''</span> ↗ • 🇰🇷 ↗ • 🎢 ↗}</sub> 20:00, 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 Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.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)

Question from Yeehai9527 (03:58, 30 June 2026)



:''Note: Yeehai9527's mentor Pickersgill-Cunliffe is away.''
How can I determine if a news website charges for publishing press releases? This has always been a question that confuses me. --Yeehai9527 (talk) 03:58, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hi! It really would depend on the website, but usually if it contains text such as "sponsored content" or something similar you can assume it was charged. <span style="color:#C01933">'''~delta'''</span> <sub>{<span style="color:#003366">'''talk'''</span> • <span style="color:#003366">'''cont'''</span> ↗ • 🇰🇷 ↗ • 🎢 ↗}</sub> 16:52, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
