Possible inadvertent deletion at Hood Canal Bridge?

Hi, I undid part of your cleanup revisions, as the remaining text just seemed to be hanging. We can discuss further at the talk page if you think I erred. ++Lar: t/c 22:00, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Whoops. Thanks for fixing that, Lar. SounderBruce 22:02, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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 it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Your GA nomination of Index, Washington

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Index, Washington you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Mz7 -- Mz7 (talk) 19:23, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello SounderBruce. From below, it looks like today is your birthday—happy birthday! Really excellent work on the Index, Washington article. I have left a bunch of suggestions at Talk:Index, Washington/GA1, but in my opinion, none of them block your article from passing the good article criteria. I'll probably leave the review open for another day or so in case you or anyone else has any questions or further suggestions, but I am happy to get this article passed for you.

Sounder commuter rail: FA nomination: map colors

Re: Sounder article at FA nomination. It is a great article!! I liked it during the GA review, and I still like it.

My notes in the FA review include a criticism of the map template that is used for the rail line ... focusing on the "blue on blue" issue I raised in the GA review. Of course, that map is beyond your control, and it is not an impediment to FA approval. I only brought it up in the FA to see if there were solutions to the color contrast issue that already exist ... or maybe the managers of that map template can create a solution?

Anyway: great article, and please don't take my queries about the map template as a reflection of the work you did on the article. Noleander (talk) 14:10, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
