DYK for Werewolf Gorge

On 1 August 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Werewolf Gorge, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the announcement of Werewolf Gorge, an upcoming roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, was timed to coincide with the rising of a blue moon? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Werewolf Gorge. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (Werewolf Gorge), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

GA review

Thanks for starting the review. I should be able to respond in the next 24-48 hours. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:10, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

You're welcome, and really great work on the article! Makes for a pretty smooth review. Thanks for checking in, and no rush. I should also be able to provide my other comments for prose and refs in a similar time frame. Plighting Engineerd (talk) 03:18, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Life got busy, of course, but I finally responded. Thanks! --GoneIn60 (talk) 22:57, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks so much! I was also busy over the weekend, so no worries. All your comments make sense to me; I'll take a full look over it tonight and give my last few pieces of ref feedback. Plighting Engineerd (talk) 13:31, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

@GoneIn60: Apologies; got busy, but I finally got a chance to finish up the review. There's just one more bit of feedback to look at. Thanks so much! Plighting Engineerd (talk) 22:46, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Each of the top five competitors had hundreds of points accumulated from multiple GAs. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Vanderwaalforces (submissions) with 1,208 points from 2 featured articles, 2 featured lists, and 12 good articles about African leaders, along with over two dozen reviews
• A.Cython (submissions) with 1,084 points from 16 good articles and a small good topic about warfare and Greek elections, along with over two dozen reviews
• Vestrian24Bio (submissions) with 955 points, mostly from 2 FLs, 2 featured topics, and 16 GAs about cricket, and almost two dozen reviews
• Bgsu98 (submissions) with 837 points from 4 FLs and 8 GAs about figure skating, along with two dozen reviews

The full scores for round 4 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 10 featured articles, 11 featured lists, 8 featured-topic articles, 103 good articles, 6 good-topic articles and more than 30 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 11 In the News articles, and they have conducted 170 peer reviews, FA and GA reviews. The tournament points table has been updated.

Remember that any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed in Round 5. 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.

Signature

Would you consider changing your signature? I don't think it's easy to read and therefore meets WP:SIGAPP. Thanks 🙏! In solidarity, —Femke (talk) 🐦 20:08, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Ah, let me take a look. I styled it for dark mode but I can see that it could be hard to read in light mode. Thanks! Plighting Engineerd (talk) 02:08, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

@Femke: Is this better, or is this too much? Plighting Engineerd (talk) 02:18, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Definitely more readable. Some people might complain it stands out too much, so you can consider a more simple signature if you'd like. In solidarity, —Femke (talk) 🐦 16:52, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
