Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:03, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,197 round points, mostly from military history articles, including 9 featured topic articles, two featured articles, and four good articles
Sammi Brie (submissions) with 1,055 round points, mostly from television station articles, including 27 good articles and 9 good topic articles
Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for round 3 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 4 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 1 featured picture, 9 featured-topic articles, 149 good articles, 27 good-topic articles, and more than 90 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 18 In the News articles, and they have conducted more than 200 reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4. 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!

Hello Hallward Ghost, Good day, you have been edited for more than 18 years, and I believe you know that the editor who chages/ adds the content needs to provide the independent, reliable source to support the cliam for verification - see WP:BURDEN. Please do not add back the info again wihtout the source. Cassiopeia talk 05:58, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Cassiopeia: I think I understand what happened here. I thought I was putting the date of UFC 317, whereas you thought I was putting the date of the fight. Does that make sense? If that's the case, I apologize for the misunderstanding. Kevin AKA Hallward's Ghost 00:38, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hallward's Ghost, Ok, I see, yes, your guess is correct. Apologize for the misunderstanding and thank you for the civil communication. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 03:13, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
