Eligibility

[edit]

Vatican City at the 2022 Mediterranean Games passed a bit late... Would it be eligible for the next round? Arconning (talk) 12:50, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Is someone going to reset the scores or something? Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:20, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
I was wondering about that yesterday, though I haven't heard anything from the judges yet for doing that. Tenshi! (Talk page) 13:29, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Tenshi Hinanawi, thanks for checking in. I'm still reviewing the nominations (got home a bit late last night) but will let you know when I'm done, so the bot can reset the nominations.
@Arconning, yes, you can claim it for the next round. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:17, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Scores have been checked now, and everything looks good. @Tenshi Hinanawi, could you please run the bot to clear all the contestants' submission pages? Thanks in advance. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:57, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Are we all just reset to zero? Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:02, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Bgsu98, the round points (i.e. what you can directly earn from submissions) will be reset to zero. I've created a new table of tournament points; these will persist from round to round. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:03, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I see now; that makes sense. I'm going to own this round, too. 😉 Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:07, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
We'll see about that BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:55, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Epicgenius: Did you want to remove those editors from the table who have been disqualified? Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:12, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Bgsu98 I have removed the disqualified users, and fixed the table header. Thanks for bringing it up. On a purely tangential note, I'm very lazy. Technically the answer to that question would be "no, I don't; I really want to go to a museum instead". – Epicgenius (talk) 21:46, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Then go to the museum! Life’s too short to pass up hobbies of personal interest. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:48, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
 Done Tenshi! (Talk page) 15:30, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Tenshi Hinanawi, just FYI, the second round has just ended but the judges haven't looked at all the submissions yet. We'll let you know when we're finished; it might not be done until tomorrow, and I forgot to do the newsletter earlier. Thanks for maintaining the bot. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:24, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Tenshi Hinanawi, thanks again for the assistance. I've sent out the newsletter. It would be great if you can run the bot to clear contestants' submission pages, but if you don't have time to do it, please let me know. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:04, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
It's done again. Tenshi! (Talk page) 15:20, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Tenshi Hinanawi, I've sent the newsletter for round 3. Could you please run the bot again? Thanks in advance. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:55, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
 Done. I'll note that I've been working on making this a web trigger so that the judges can tell the bot to clear the pages. Tenshi! (Talk page) 16:04, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I appreciate your time and effort, and a web trigger would definitely be appreciated so we can do it ourselves when necessary. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:37, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Withdraw

[edit]

I would like to withdraw, I overexerted myself in the previous round and felt really burned out. I got really bad anxiety whenever I came to edit since then and have mostly inactive for a month. I'm hoping to return to editing but would like to exit this years cup Olliefant (she/her) 04:22, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to hear that. I have withdrawn you from the cup. Best of luck in your real life. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:13, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Quick note

[edit]

@Vanderwaalforces, @Vestrian24Bio, @Bgsu98: I'm currently finalizing the scores for Round 3. These were submitted after Round 3 ended:

Please claim your respective submissions in Round 4. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:08, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Very fine by me! Well done. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:10, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Fine with me 👍. Vestrian24Bio 16:28, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Epicgenius: Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2026 is still saying Round 3.. needs to be updated I guess? Vestrian24Bio 10:59, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Vestrian24Bio Whoops. I have fixed it, it is definitely Round 4 now. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:51, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Correction: WikiCup 2026 July newsletter

[edit]

In the WikiCup 2026 July newsletter, I said that A.Cython received 1004 points. A.Cython's score was actually 958. My apologies for the error.

If anyone is interested in helping me with the newsletter, feel free to let me know. Epicgenius (talk) 20:26, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Could someone change my flag from ({{Flagicon image|ICC logo.png|link=International cricket|border=}}) to ({{Flagicon image|ICC logo (2026).svg|link=International cricket|border=|size=40px}}). Thanks! Vestrian24Bio 06:45, 8 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
