		The New Page Reviewer's Platinum Award
		For over 10,000 article reviews during 2023. Well done! Keep up the good work and thank you! Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:59, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Okay, I added a Ref. showing notability (Re: 22 million). Also stretched out the article a little to be more all-encompassing. I mean, to give a more complete picture of the organization. It's far more notable than an athlete appearing in one game in the pros, IMO. Thanks for hopefully putting it through. However, either way, I really didn't want to spend much time on this. I just wanted to start this worthy article. It was once a major branch of the Red Cross. JimPercy (talk) 16:26, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Okay, I added some more to give it completeness. JimPercy (talk) 13:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kimberly Remak, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hey @JTtheOG

Would you mind taking another review of Draft:Adam Hicks (American football) because I added a few sources that should be able to make it notable enough to be on the main space.

I submitted it for review and I would appreciate it if you could give it another look. ParkerLyme (talk) 15:26, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Looks like someone got to it! Good work, JTtheOG (talk) 21:52, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), with one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, and two DYKs;
• Vami_IV (submissions), with one FA on Doom (2016 video game), one GA on Boundary Fire (2017), and 11 reviews;
• MaranoFan (submissions), with one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and two DYKs;
• Skyshifter (submissions), with one FA on OneShot and one DYK;
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with five GAs and five DYKs on television and radio stations;
• voorts (submissions) and Elli (submissions), both with one FA and one DYK each.

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Good morning from Campora San Giovanni, I'm writing to say hello and find out how you are, as well as telling you that I followed your advice, I was wondering if you could lend a helping hand now. Of course, if you need anything, count on me, in the meantime I thank you for the report and while waiting to hear from you, I greet you with respect and cordiality.
