WikiCup 2024 March newsletter
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews

Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to 
Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Thank you for the steady flow of interesting stations information! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:25, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the kind words, @Gerda Arendt. It's been a tough last week for a number of us on the project. By the way, this is my 60th consecutive month with a DYK. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:59, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

- Congratulations to that series! I never looked at it like that, but think I might join the club, even last year when I was determined to drop out completely. Tough, yes. Two days ago, I wrote that I remembered four subjects on the Main page and Vami.
- The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago).
- Yesterday I learned that a friend suddenly died; we both belonged to a group that traveled once a year for decades, and I remember her vivid talk last summer, same voice and sparkle as when we met. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- more music and flowers on Rossini's rare birthday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:49, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Possible FA work
I would be interested in working on some of the articles about Chattanooga TV stations (or stations around the state). I am very familiar with the stations in Chattanooga, as I grew up watching them. On a related note, one idea that I've had for the last year or so is getting WSM (AM) or Grand Ole Opry (or both) to featured article status by their 100th anniversary next year. In case you don't know, WSM is one of the oldest and probably most famous radio stations in the world, and the Opry is the oldest radio program in North America that still airs. This isn't something I've actually taken very seriously up until this point, as I also hope to get Scopes trial (which was also the first trial in the US to be broadcast by radio, FYI) to TFA by its 100th anniversary next year; however, this is certainly something I would like to consider doing.
