The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
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 Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). 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 your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Epicgenius, I was wondering if you might have any insight on this: I am planning to slowly go through some of the Former featured lists and trying to re-promote them. I'm starting with the List of longest suspension bridge spans and I'm not super familiar with bridges myself but after reading the removal entry and looking at the list I've come up with some fixes I could potentially make:
1. Combining the main spans into one column, since having different units as different columns for the same values seems pointless.
2. Adding in the total lengths for each bridge – although I'm not sure about this one since the list is by main span
(And of course general cleaning like checking all of the images for copyright & adding more refs for later entries)
Thoughts on this or any other ideas for improvements would be appreciated. (If you're wondering why I'm coming to you, I had noticed your work on the Brooklyn Bridge)

Hello, I wanted to ask for your opinion on if a new NYCFerry template would be useful for the NYCFerry page. Basically, the new template would be like the Infobox New York City Subway service template, but with the different colors for the routes, it's terminals, it's fleet, etc and to reduce clutter on it's page. What do you think? FlushingLocal (talk) 23:51, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
Route = AST (shows the Astoria Line Logo) Picture 1 = Shows a boat on the AST Line Picture 2 = Shows route map Fleet = All Boats North Terminal = Astoria South Terminal = Wall St/Pier 11 Stops = 5 Started Service = August 2017
