SophieWMCA, I tried signing up but I keep getting this error: An unknown error occurred while trying to process tracking tools. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weird! I don't know what happened but I do see you in the attendees list now so I guess the registration worked. See you Sunday!

The third round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 June. As with Round 2, this round was competitive: each of the 16 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 256 points.

The following editors all scored more than 400 points in Round 3:

• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,059 points, mostly from 1 featured article on DeLancey W. Gill, 11 good articles, 18 did you know nominations, and dozens of reviews;
• Skyshifter (submissions) with 673 points, mostly from 2 featured articles on Worlds (Porter Robinson album) and I'm God, 5 good articles, and 2 did you know nominations;
• Sammi Brie (submissions) with 557 points, mostly from 1 featured article on KNXV-TV, 5 good articles, and 8 did you know nominations; and
• AryKun (submissions) with 415 points, mostly from 1 featured article on Great cuckoo-dove, with a high number of bonus points from that article.

The full scores for round 3 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 28 featured articles, 38 featured lists, 240 good articles, 92 in the news credits, and at least 285 did you know credits. They have conducted 279 featured article reviews, as well as 492 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 22 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed during Round 4, which starts on 1 July at 00:00 (UTC). 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 for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

As promised, pings to JTanner (WMF) and Seddon. If you describe your issue with mobile editing, they'll probably be of some help. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 21:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Clovermoss! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 11:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It might help if you describe what exactly the issue you were having was, unfortunately I don't remember the specifics of this. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 05:41, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clovermoss, I emailed them. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:11, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, hopefully they can help you out then. :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 02:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carol Leonning bio needs updating, very old info often used and incorrect for example she has won four Pulitzer Prize Awards -- see her Washington Post Bio for more accurate information: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/carol-d-leonnig/ She is a journalism expert on the secret service and will likely be used a source for stories again and it would be helpful for her bio to be accurate. Thank you for your help. P.S. I am sorry that I am not as familiar and I should be with how to use wiki edit tools. MHKelley (talk) 16:32, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello -- you helped me once before so I am reaching out again! Hello, I am Carol's sister-in-law. I know should not/can not edit her wiki page, but I wanted to alert someone that her page may need to be updated. Carol has won four Pulitzers (the page is incorrect) and a new significant award and she has a new book coming out. I've noticed that this wiki page is sometimes used for writing introductions for Carol for TV and radio appearances (then the introductions have to be corrected because they relied on the wiki page!). She is an expert on the Secret Service because she wrote a New York Times best selling book on it and she is in the news a lot today due to recent events so it might be useful to update her wiki page. I can help to provide documentation if you wish. But, some documentation may be found in other sources too: see her Washington Post Bio for more accurate/current information: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/carol-d-leonnig/ and https://www.washingtonpost.com/pr/2024/04/27/carol-leonnig-honored-11th-annual-washington-women-journalism-awards Also the photo is very old and the official reporter photo taken by the Washington Post is much more current, it's on their website. Thank you if you can help again and I am happy to serve as a resource for accurate information. MHKelley (talk) 18:37, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
