Our current top scorers are as follows:

Sammi Brie (submissions) with 642 points, mostly from 11 GAs about radio and television;
voorts (submissions) with 530 points, mostly from two FAs (Well he would, wouldn't he? and Cora Agnes Benneson) and three GAs;

Competitors may submit work for the second round until the end of 28 April, and the third round starts 1 May. Remember that only competitors with the top 32 scores will make it through to the third round. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from gaming Wikipedia policies or processes to receive more points.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please read Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. 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.

DYK for Struggle Committee (Hong Kong)[edit]

On 20 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Struggle Committee (Hong Kong), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a committee of Chinese compatriots of all circles from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon struggled against what they viewed as persecution by the British authorities in Hong Kong? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Struggle Committee (Hong Kong). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Struggle Committee (Hong Kong)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Alex Counts[edit]

I must say that I am somewhat shocked. While I was still writing on the Talk page the reasons why this article has the value to exist, it has already been deleted, destroying the work of two hours.

Here are again the reasons for not deleting the page:

This page should not be speedily deleted because Timothy Ogden's book chapter clearly demonstrates that Counts played an important role in the development of the whole Grameen project.

My other reason for writing this bio was that while researching on social entrepreneurship, I found Counts' book on several lists, and found it most helpful.

Sorry that I did not initially include these links in the text, but I was not prepared that something like this would happen.

This in my view vastly overly speedy deletion has really shattered my trust in Wikipedia. Hannoscholtz (talk) 23:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hannoscholtz: If you would like to recover the content of the deleted article, you may put in a request at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. The article Alex Counts was not tagged for deletion by me and subsequently deleted by an administrator solely because there was a lack of reliable sources. Another major reason was because the article was purely promotional; Wikipedia is not a web host for professional profiles. This isn't LinkedIn.

Again, you can still recover your work on the article through Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion and have it moved to your user spaces, but you will not be successful in drafting or publishing the article for public readership unless you completely reword and restructure the article and cite sources that are not blogs or books by other businesspeople in the same industry.
