The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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!

If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy.

Hi, could you help me understand why these changes were reverted since you did not add any edit summary other than the revert message: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1213046364&oldid=1213046086&title=Software_as_a_service Inffer (talk) 07:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey! Sorry if I'm missing something, but you reverted an edit of mine on the Robots.txt page. I didn't see any edit summary (beyond the standard revert message,) and I wanted to know what was wrong with it? I trust that you know why you reverted it, but I can't learn what my mistake was without an edit summary. Hyonk Tea (talk) 13:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
I need assistance determining what a reliable source is. In my submission, I tried as much as possible to cite many sources to lend credence to the article but these sources have been adjudged unreliable.
What do I do please? It's a little discomforting for me right now.

Your revert here created both wp:overlink problems, as well as a deletion of an end-year that keeps the article from misleading readers into thinking there is not yet an end year. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_London_High_School_(Connecticut)&oldid=1214275182&diff=cur&diffonly=0 2603:7000:2101:AA00:39E3:ECA3:D3A:7B1B (talk) 03:39, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

I know Youtube shouldn't be a source. I addded all the articles that I could find on Google about him, yet it is not enough. That's why I used Youtube. And I used it for his political views, which he expressed directly (for example, at "he self-identifies as a democratic socialist", I put a source where he said "I am a democratic socialist" RAMSES$44932 (talk) 07:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
