Many points
editI believe the bot errantly awarded me 9 bonus points for my DYK on Flemish bond. As the article is too short, a conversion of a redirect, and not on any other Wiki, I believe it does not fulfill any of the bonus point requirements. If possible, I'd like my score to reflect the accurate 5 point total. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti, thanks for bringing this up. I've now adjusted the points for you. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Pbritti, I appreciate your honesty! — Frostly (talk) 17:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Vami IV
editI wonder. Could they be silently removed from the original list? I see no reason to see their name in scary red in a competition they will never win nor take part in. Just a thought. ——Serial Number 54129 22:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Serial Number 54129, are you asking if we should remove his name from Wikipedia:WikiCup or from Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2024/Round 3? If you mean Wikipedia:WikiCup, we can do that. I'm going to reset everyone's points by tomorrow, so that shouldn't be a problem. If you're asking us to remove his name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2024/Round 3, that would be more awkward, as his name was kept there for record-keeping purposes. He never formally withdrew, and he did score points during Round 2. Rather than removing his name from the Round 3 page, we might have to come up with something else, such as using a different color for his name. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Epicgenius, that's good—what you say about tomorrow or today is understood. I absolutely agree. If anyone agrees about anything currently, they may be a serial troublemaker. Cheers! ——Serial Number 54129 23:41, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's fine currently. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:42, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
Recreated article — DYK scoring
editI had Mercy Gilbert Medical Center undeleted to be rewritten and republished it. The article is 90% new material. Should it still qualify for an age bonus as a DYK based on the original date of publication, as the bot has handled it? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:34, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think that in order to recive a bonus for existing in a year it must have been around for 51+% of that year. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie, in my view it would indeed be eligible for an age bonus. The article had been deleted for only about three months, and it was undeleted rather than rewritten from scratch. If we remove these three months from consideration, it's been in mainspace for the same amount of time as an article that was created in December 2011 and never deleted.
- As long as you expanded this page fivefold from the undeleted version, I think it qualifies for the age multiplier. (On the other hand, had the article been rewritten from scratch rather than being undeleted, it would not be eligible as an expanded article, only as a new article.) Epicgenius (talk) 03:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius It is indeed not a 5x — it was 2327 characters RPS before and is 3140 characters now. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:49, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, okay - I see now. This is a real gray area, since you moved this to mainspace (which would make this a "new article" under most circumstances), but it has undeleted history dating back to 2011. My thinking is that if it qualified for DYK as a new article, then it should be scored as a new article, and thus it wouldn't receive the age bonus. I'm going to ping @Cwmhiraeth and @Frostly for their feedback, but I'm leaning toward treating this as a new article without any age-based bonuses. Epicgenius (talk) 03:59, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Epicgenius, thanks for the ping. I think that it would be best to treat this as a new article as well, given that the vast majority of the content is new material. Best, — Frostly (talk) 18:16, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Co nominator finished a review before I looked at it
editSo my and another user have been working our way though GAing every episode of Doctor Who series 14. The review for "Rogue" was posted for under 24 hours before my Co-nom two. Can I claim points for this? While my name was on the review and I am the second highest contributor I didn't work on the review specifically. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant, yes, if you're the co-nominator, you may claim points if you were a significant contributor. This version of the talkpage indicates that you were a co-nominator, so this should be fine regardless if you worked on the review. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Seconding! — Frostly (talk) 20:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- I concur. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

FPs
editI'm a bit shocked that this year there's been 0 FPs. Like, I left the Wikicup a few years back because it really felt that doing at all well with FPs in the cup was something that made people very upset, but that the celebration of all content on Wikipedia now has 0 FPs? That feels weird. Ah, well, probably just means I was right to leave when I did. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 05:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I would try, but Sca is very intimidating... Panini! • 🥪 06:29, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Adam Cuerden, I noticed that as well. I don't know if I've announced it on-wiki, but I should announce this publicly here: The first competitor to get an FP this year will get a special award at the end of this year's cup, in addition to the standard awards given for the highest-scoring competitors in a certain category. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:29, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
