Takeover on DYK
Hey, I'm not sure how Wikicup works, but Idc about them anyway. I just found your work on Harry Allan's article and it's amazing. Maybe if you like some more juicy points for Wikicup or something, you can takeover and nominate several species articles for DYK that I worked on for GA. Only two out of eight articles that became GA had Dyk. 2001:4455:364:A800:E5E5:3906:820:3691 (talk) 11:04, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the compliment :D. I'm happy to write dyk hooks for you, but I can't claim your work as mine for the wikicup. Dracophyllum 06:05, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
DYK for Harry Allan
On 3 March 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Harry Allan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that despite never having received a formal education in botany, Harry Allan became one of New Zealand's most eminent botanists? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Harry Allan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Harry Allan), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.
WikiCup 2022 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.- Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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.
Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter
The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
- Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
- AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
- Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Greetings and latest GA congrats
Hi, D! You are really doing a lot of good for the flora of New Zealand. Just popping in to see what you've been up to. I've still been on my Wikibreak, but today I ran through the NatureServe conservation statuses for the List of Symphyotrichum species to make sure they were up to date. Congratulations on upgrading Dacrycarpus dacrydioides to GA. I'm thinking of signing up the Symphyotrichum list for FL, as I had been waiting until Symphyotrichum blooming season to ask for it to be shown. That season is beginning. Have to review how to do that and ask myself if I'm prepared for all of the people who like to go in to a FA or FL just to make some sort of change, vandalism or otherwise. When S. lateriflorum went to FA, along with a couple of DYKs around the same time, it was exhausting. I probably shouldn't have done that in the winter. I've recently stepped in to help with FAC review of Mount Garibaldi. Volcano articles are kind of fun and completely out of my comfort zone. Good for learning, because I do think volcanos are amazing. Keep in touch! – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 14:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. Right now I feel like GA status is a good balance of time/energy and reward Dracophyllum 05:44, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 September newsletter
The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year.

Hi, Dracophyllum! I see you've been taking a bit of a Wikibreak. I have been Wikibusy lately. I recently updated Symphyotrichum kentuckiense and it is currently a GAN in review. It had been the article S. priceae but that was confirmed last year (and accepted) to be an incorrect treatment. I had been working on updates to S. eulae (goes to sandbox) before getting sidetracked with S. kentuckiense. Now, I'm going to jump to S. pilosum because it's one of the most common species in the genus but the article is very bad. I suppose I should go back to S. eulae first! I hope you are having a good spring. It's mid-autumn here, and where I live in the Midwestern United States, the weather tends to vary throughout the day this time of year. Nearly everyday, I switch the thermostat from AC to heat to off. It's been warmer this season, and of course has been getting gradually warmer over the years. Keep in touch, and I hope you are well. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 06:38, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Eewilson, great to see you back editing again. I'm just on a wikibreak, might come back to editing at some point. Keep it up! Dracophyllum 08:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Discontent Content Issue 7
  Welcome, subscribers, to the seventh Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status.   Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard.
