Hi Generalissima, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Template:Did you know nominations/Wing Sam Chinn for DYK points, but unfortunately it is not eligible for DYK points because it was nominated to DYK as a newly promoted GA. Had you nominated the page to DYK when it was first created/expanded, the article would've been eligible for DYK points.

I know this can be disappointing, but Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Did you know? states that only newly created or expanded DYKs are eligible for DYK points. The rules specifically exclude DYK submissions from receiving points if their appearance on DYK is solely because the article was a newly promoted GA. Epicgenius (talk) 01:31, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics.

In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics.

Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Hi Laura. Impressive showing in the Wikicup. You recently recommended a reference format that includes things like "{{harvid|StreetNapieralaJanssens|2015}}" and "Street, Martin; Napierala, Hannes; Janssens, Luc." I haven't been keeping up with how these things are handled at FAC, but the more serious source reviews at FLC aren't going to be happy about discarding all the parameters that keep track of first and last names. Are there other options? - Dank (push to talk) 16:16, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, written in collaboration and introduced: "Ah, the United States commemorative half dollars. By the 1930s, these were getting much less special as every nonprofit in the country seemingly tried to fundraise through one of them. The Texas commemorative half is famed for its absurdly intricate reverse design, which is a great example of the pitfalls of coin design by committee. I initially planned to bring this up to FA by my lonesome, but Wehwalt took an interest to it and added a bunch of contemporary newspaper sources, so now it's a co-nomination! Hope you enjoy the read."! - Congratulations also to the unbelievable array of qality articles you touched recently, resulting in a third place in the WikiCup! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Good morning, You said that my article on the Kaizuka Period was a very rough translation, I would like to know of what, since I wrote it from scratch? (note that I do not mind your renaming it ;) ) Bérangère444 (talk) 00:38, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hey, are the reward board offers you made for keel-billed toucan and great currasow still active? If they are I'd like to try my hand at getting one (or maybe even both) of them to FA. AryKun (talk) 19:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

AryKun Yup! :) Knock yourself out, that'd be real fun (and if you do both of them, easier to ship for me, lol) Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 19:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Bonn–Oberkassel dog, about "one of the oldest known examples of a domestic dog that modern archaeology is pretty sure about. We've found more late Paleolithic dogs since it was discovered in the 1910s, but what's most important about this little pup is the evidence of early veterinary care, and how ancient humans cared for this creature, seemingly out of compassion alone."! - Thank you especially for bringing compassion into play. Best wishes for the season; - click on story and music over the days to coma and see if there's something for you, - Bach alone wrote three Christmas cantatas for the 1724 season, in focus this year. Today, however, Sigrid Kehl on the Main page. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
