The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

• Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
• HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
• Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Matthew, hi. Please give your expert advice on Draft:Creatio. This is an article on low-code development platform that I changed from the company article to the software article. It is a properly stated WP:COI contribution. I noticed that you study Computer Science and that you are also a Veteran editor, so I decided to ask for you advice on what could/should be improved in this article. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Bbarmadillo! I will take a look shortly. Thanks for the note! ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Comments · Changes} 05:24, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Matthewrbowker thanks! --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:11, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Bbarmadillo I left a comment on the page! Thank you again. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Comments · Changes} 17:53, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

@Matthewrbowker: thank you for your comment, very helpful. I eliminated most of the press-releases and third-party integrations trivia. The remaining references to press-releases are essential to the content of the article. What do you think? --Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:39, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

@Bbarmadillo: I've created the article. Nicely done! ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Comments · Changes} 17:45, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
