The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

• Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
• Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
• Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Holiday Greetings

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Always a pleasure to see your work. ―Buster7 ☎

Help...

I've some across some...well, interesting editing. An editor is blanking article talk pages without establishing an archive page. This seems to be mostly' blanking bot notices, "External links modified" etc. I've asked "why" on their user talk but would appreciate some guidance here. I mean, is this actually good practice? Am I missing something? Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 16:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Shearonink, I have seen people remove bot notices like this before, and it hasn't been considered to be problematic. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for saying so. I had come across it on user talk pages but never on article talk pages. *sigh*...learn something new every day around here. - Shearonink (talk) 21:26, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

About Elon Musk

Why did you remove from Elon Musk's article his conservative political activism? Currently, it is undeniable that this is a very notable and important part of Elon Musk. In addition to The Washington Post and CNN sources, just look at his X or Twitter account, almost every post he makes is explicit conservative political activism. He cheers, pushes and promotes conservative politicians, attacks those who are not, spreads conspiracy theories and far-right accounts. This is no small matter. This is a man who openly says he uses his position of power to promote conservative and radical right-wing politics. Esterau16 (talk) 15:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Merging "Legacy of Roberto Clemente" to "Roberto Clemente"

Hey there. So I have a favor to ask. Can you start the process of merging "Legacy of Roberto Clemente" to "Roberto Clemente". I think the it is an unnecessary fork and very vague criteria. Merging it won't cause article size issues or WP:UNDUE problems - I believe in Quality v Quantity - and most of it is already there anyways.

I would do so myself but the problem is that I was new to AFDs when I first attempted to merge it -- the Afd lacked input from WP:Baseball even though I did try to get people there to comment on the talk page and everyone who commented agreed with me that it should be merged (you included). I don't want to start again on what would be my third try.

So can you do so and bring in people from WP:Baseball? Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

No offense @Omnis Scientia: but why are you obsessed with getting rid of this? The AFD seemed pretty clear for keep. I know you asked me on my talk page at the time to check it out but I never got to it and I probably would have voted keep anyways. Why not just move on at this point?-- Yankees10 16:26, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

I won't say "obsessed" but I do feel that articles about sports legacies are unhelpful -- do we really need pages about the "Legacy of *insert name here*" for athletes with vague criteria because that person was famous for simply playing a sport? Isn't that what their biographical article is for? Its not a good precedent, IMO.

As I noted about this particular article, there's nothing in it which isn't already discussed in the main one (which gets far more views as it is). As for the Afd; one of the (three) keep votes later told me that he agreed with me but he just voted "keep" because he "doesn't believe in deletion" under any circumstance. A second used WP:OTHERTHINGSEXIST to justify keeping it. Compare that to several members of the Baseball Project agreeing with me -- but days after that Afd closed. I just feel that deletion is supported by strong reasons but that they weren't adequately addressed in the first one. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:58, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Also it was a speedy and one Afd; I wouldn't say "obsessed" based on that. I actually forgot about it for a few months until it resurfaced (for me) while I was checking something else sort of related about the merger of two articles. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:30, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

On second thought, I think will do this myself since there isn't anything in Afd rules against a second one. HOWEVER, I won't do it right now. Yankees10 make a fair point. Its not important or even pressing so I will let it be. I have more projects to work on ATM. It just came to my mind because of something else, as I noted. Thank you either way.
