Hello, Schminnte,

I was surprised a few months ago to see the Retired banner on your User talk page as you had been so active there for a while. I see you have recently edited so I'm just posting a note to say that you are missed. I completely understand if this project was taking up too much of your time or that off-wiki events became more important than this little hobby of ours. But your absence has been noticed and I hope you are doing well, whatever you are spending your time on. Take care. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Liz, it means a lot to hear this from you. Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 22:12, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. —Ingenuity (t • c) 17:03, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As it is to see you! Burnout has mostly alleviated, and I did start missing the community. Looking forward to more work and creation. Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 17:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back! — Jon (talk) 19:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad to have gotten to know you as well as I did Schminnte. I know we didn't get to work together as long as I would have hoped, but I'm grateful for the time we had together. You know I wish you nothing but the best my friend, you won't be forgotten. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fourth round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 29 August. Each of the 8 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 472 points, and the following contestants scored more than 700 points:

• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,150 points, mostly from 3 featured articles, 2 featured lists, 7 good articles, and 13 did you know nominations;
• Arconning (submissions) with 791 points, mostly from 2 featured lists, 8 good articles, 4 did you know nominations, and plenty of reviews;
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions) with 718 points, mostly from a high-multiplier featured article on Genghis Khan and 2 good articles; and
• BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 714 points, mostly from 1 featured article on Susanna Hoffs, 2 featured lists, and 3 good articles.

Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated. Contestants put in extraordinary amounts of effort during this round, and their scores can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 36 featured articles, 55 featured lists, 15 good articles, 93 in the news credits, and at least 333 did you know credits. They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September 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. 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. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.
