The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.
So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. 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 equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.
A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components.
The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references />
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki.

A friendly FYI, that Premathoo reverted you with more obvious LTA sock trolling from someone you just blocked. It appears that my AIV report is being declined. Entirely up to you if you want to do anything. Thanks.

Why did you revert this edit? It is clearly a blatant attack on White People, and is therefore racist.
If anyone made a series called "dear Black People" there would be mass outrage. I disagree with your revert as I think it is perfectly reasonable and not in any way "politically motivated". Something that aims to demonize white people is racist. There is nothing political about it, it is the definition of racist.
Please consider reversing your revert.

Hi there from Portugal,
regarding your message sent to this talk page (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speyer_Cathedral&diff=780863257&oldid=780863086), all i can offer in my defense is that this edit was not performed by me. I edit almost exclusively in association football, if you check the list of contributions closely (here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/193.137.135.2).
Also, this IP which i wrongly thought as static (first contribution other than those by me) is the one from which i edit in my place of work, and i also have this one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/85.242.133.151) from my home. At 16:56, the IP started with 193 performed that vandalic action, and at that time i was not even at home, of course i cannot offer any evidence to the contrary, you'll just have to believe me :)
This account at the S. Cathedral article, User:MrTS, may very well (i bet it is!) the same "contributor" of the anon edit, as the language is quite vulgar at least in this stuff (check it out here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speyer_Cathedral&diff=next&oldid=780863642"Cona da tua mãe" meaning "Your mother's c*nt" in Portuguese).
Attentively, sorry for any inconvenience and happy editing --85.242.133.151 (talk) 19:00, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm about to email you about a rename over 50k that needs to be processed. If you have time please coordinate with a developer (does this require a phab ticket now?). You can use "[[Special:Diff/nnn|user request]]" as the reason for renaming, referring back to this diff. Thanks, –xenotalk 17:21, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
You blocked this user here earlier today. I believe this user may be the same editor from a different IP. Similar edits to the same user TPs today and both locate to the same area. Is there a range block in force? Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 14:12, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
