WikiCup 2018 September newsletter
The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.- Other contestants who qualified for the final round were
Nova Crystallis, 
Iazyges, 
SounderBruce, 
Kosack and 
Ceranthor.
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to 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. 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. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

7 of one, 8 of another? - Muhammad VII of Granada
Would you please look in at 7 of one, 8 of another? where I mention that I'm totally confused by the several mentions of both 'VII' and 'VIII'? Thank you. Shenme (talk) 01:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Shenme: Thank you for pointing out. I've replied in that talk page. HaEr48 (talk) 01:47, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
DYK for Muhammad VII of Granada
On 8 September 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Muhammad VII of Granada, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when Castile invited Navarre to join an alliance against Muhammad VII of Granada, Charles III of Navarre informed Muhammad VII of this scheme, called him "my brother" and sent him military aid? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Muhammad VII of Granada. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Muhammad VII of Granada), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.
