Question

Why haven't you put yourself in Category:Wikipedians interested in chess? Partofthemachine (talk) 05:43, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

@Partofthemachine: Ironically I'm not that interested in chess anymore. I'm somewhat decent at it (enough to beat all my friends IRL), but the meta is very complicated so I'm not good enough for tournaments. I don't want to memorize a bunch of lines of opening theory to really get good. I don't even know Najdorf. Chess (talk) (please Reply to icon mention me on reply) 16:25, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 July newsletter

The third round of the 2023 WikiCup has come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 175 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

Contestants achieved 11 featured articles, 2 featured lists, 47 good articles, 72 featured or good article reviews, over 100 DYKs and 40 ITN appearances. As always, any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on

Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk).
