== WikiCup 2011 May newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
We're half way through round 3 of the [[WP:CUP|2011 WikiCup]]. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}}, of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Racepacket}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Canada Hky}} respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at [[WP:FAC|featured article candidates]]: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, ''please'' make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

A running total of claims can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2011/Running totals|here]]. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] 23:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

== more gruel, please (nother page in the sandbox) ==

Could I please have another page in the sandbox (or can you just set up a stub)? 

Name "Amanar"

Justification:  It's got a few redlinks and comes up more and more as it is an increasingly popular, and very high scoring vault).  It's on the list of new pages to create for the Wikipedia Gymnastics project. too.  There are also some interesting issues related to it (recent controversies for example with a Russian having it disqualified at the 2010 Worlds and a big score protest and an appeal to some International Court of Sports:  it is prone to some judgement calls) so I expect it would grow to be larger than many of the other skill pages (probably always stubs, although the Project has a crazy idea of a page on each element...I don't support that).

TEXT:

(title) Amanar

== WikiCup 2011 June newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}} who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Wizardman}}, claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Eisfbnore}}, who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}}, who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.

No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.

We would again like to thank {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Jarry1250}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Stone}} for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen [http://toolserver.org/~jarry/wikicup/ here] and [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2011/Running totals|here]], for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] 23:33, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2011 July newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Adabow}} (Pool A, 189 points) and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|PresN}} (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on [[Thatgamecompany]] related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article ([[White-bellied Sea Eagle]], from {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}}) and two featured lists ([[Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story]], from PresN and [[Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album]], from {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Another Believer}}). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!

There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]], so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC. Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC.

== WikiCup 2011 July newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:

*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}}, Pool A's winner. Casliber has the highest total score in the competition, with 1528, the bulk of which is made up of 8 featured articles. He has the highest number of total featured articles (8, 1 of which was eligible for double points) and total did you knows (72) of any finalist. Casliber writes mostly on biology, including ornithology, botany and mycology.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|PresN}}, Pool B's winner and the highest scorer this round. PresN is the only finalist who has scored featured topic points, and he has gathered an impressive 330, but most of his points come from his 4 featured articles, one of which scored double. PresN writes mostly on video games and the [[Hugo Awards]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}}, Pool A's runner-up. Hurricanehink's points are mostly from his 30 good articles, more than any other finalist, and he is also the only finalist to score good topic points. Hurricanehink, as his name suggests, writes mostly on meteorology.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Wizardman}}, Pool B's runner-up. Wizardman has completed 86 good article reviews, more than any other finalist, but most of his points come from his 2 featured articles. Wizardman writes mostly on American sport, especially baseball.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Miyagawa}}, the "fastest loser" (Pool A). Miyagawa has written 3 featured lists, one of which was awarded double points, more than any other finalist, but he was awarded points mostly for his 68 did you knows. Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, including dogs, military history and sport.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Resolute}}, the second "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Resolute's points come from his 9 good articles. He writes mostly on Canadian topics, including ice hockey.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Yellow Evan}}, who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool A). Most of Evan's points come from his 10 good articles, and he writes mostly on meteorology.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Sp33dyphil}}, who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Phil's points come from his 9 good articles, 4 of which (more than any other finalist) were eligible for double points. He writes mostly on aeronautics.

We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Another Believer}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Piotrus}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Grandiose}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Stone}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Eisfbnore}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Canada Hky}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|MuZemike}}. Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.

In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to '''[[Wikipedia_talk:WikiCup/Scoring#Thoughts_for_next_year.27s_scoring|drop by]]''' and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiCup#Cup_reviews|a discussion]] about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate {{user|Ucucha}}. The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.

A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] 00:03, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

== CSD A7 on [[John J.Smith]] ==

Hi, I wanted to let you know I have challenged your [[WP:CSD A7]] on [[John J.Smith]]. In my opinion the claims regarding golf wins, which I interpret to be at the professional level (though not explicitly stated) are a sufficient claim of importance to survive criteria A7. I have no objection if you would like to pursue an alternative [[WP:DELETE|deletion process]] with the article.

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Miyagawa}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Sp33dyphil}}, all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles ([[1991 Atlantic hurricane season]] from Hurricanehink and [[Northrop YF-23]] from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's [[1948 Summer Olympics medal table]]). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring|scoring talk page]], and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.

If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]].

== WikiCup 2011 October newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
The 2011 WikiCup is now ''over'', and our new champion is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}}, who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners: {{ul|Dreamafter}} (2007), {{ul|jj137}} (2008), {{ul|Durova}} (2009) and {{ul|Sturmvogel_66}} (2010). The final standings were as follows:

#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Sp33dyphil}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Yellow Evan}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Miyagawa}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Wizardman}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Resolute}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|PresN}}

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a ''single round''.

*The Featured Article Award: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}}, for his performance in round 2. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}} matched the score, but Casliber won the tiebreaker.
*The Good Article Award: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Yellow Evan}}, for his performance in round 4.
*The Featured List Award: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Miyagawa}}, for his performance in round 4. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|PresN}} matched the score, but Miyagawa won the tiebreaker.
*The Recognised Topic Award (for good and featured topics): {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|PresN}}, for his performance in round 3.
*The Did You Know Award: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|The Bushranger}}, for his performance in round 1.
*The In the News Award: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Candlewicke}}, for his performance in round 1.
*The Reviewer Award (for good article reviews): {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant2|Wizardman}}, for his performance in round 3.

No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.

Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2012 signups|sign up]]''' and participate in our '''[[Wikipedia_talk:WikiCup/Scoring#Time_for_some_straw_polls|straw polls]]'''. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

== WikiCup 2012 January newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
WikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2012 signups|Signups]] will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about ''[[The X-Files]]''; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at [[WP:GAC|good article candidates]]. Second place is currently held by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}}, whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Jivesh boodhun}}, who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly!

The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20.

A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|12george1}} was the first to score, with his good article review of ''[[Illinois v. McArthur]]''.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|12george1}} was also the first to score points for an article, thanks to his work on [[Hurricane Debby (1982)]]- now a good article. Tropical storms have featured heavily in the Cup, and good articles currently have a relatively fast turnaround time for reviews.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sp33dyphil}} was the first to score points for a did you know, with [[Russian submarine K-114 Tula|Russian submarine K-114 ''Tula'']]. Military history is another subject which has seen a lot of Cup activity.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sp33dyphil}} is also the first person to successfully claim bonus points. ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]'' is now a good article, and was eligible for bonus points because the subject was covered on more than 20 other Wikipedias at the start of the competition. It is fantastic to see bonus points being claimed so early!
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Speciate}} was the first to score points for an In the News entry, with ''[[Paedophryne amauensis]]''. The lead image from the article was also used on the main page for a time, and it's certainly eye-catching!
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Jivesh boodhun}} was the first to score points for a featured article, and is, at the moment, the only competitor to claim for one. The article, [[Halo (Beyoncé Knowles song)|"Halo" (Beyoncé Knowles song)]], was also worth double points because of its wide coverage. While this is an article that Jivesh and others have worked on for some time, it is undeniable that he has put considerable work into it this year, pushing it over the edge.

We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition.

A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, ''are'' making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] 00:09, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on ''The X-Files''. In second place was {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Tigerboy1966}}, thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}. February also saw the competition's first featured list: [[List of colleges and universities in North Dakota]], from {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}}. At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.

The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.

The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this ''year'' is eligible for points if promoted in this ''round''. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in [[marine biology]] and [[herpetology]]. Third place goes to Pool E's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}, who also writes primarily on biology (including [[ornithology]] and [[botany]]) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.

Congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Matthewedwards}}, whose impressive [[:File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg]] became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|12george1}}, who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season]]. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup#WikiCup Records|recent statistics]] from {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}} show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]].

== WikiCup 2012 April newsletter ==

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on ''[[The X-Files]]'', but also ''[[Millennium (TV series)|Millennium]]'' and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}} was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}} coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.

65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: [[:File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg]], our first featured picture, was the work of ''both'' {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Matthewedwards}} ''and'' {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grandiose}}, the latter of whom has also gone on to score with [[:File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg]]. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ealdgyth}} earned triple points for her good articles on [[William the Conqueror]] and the [[Middle Ages]], Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on [[Western Jackdaw]], now a good article, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Dana boomer}} earned triple points for her work on [[lettuce]] and work by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Stone}} to ready [[antimony]] for good article status earned him triple points. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Jarry1250}} managed to expand [[Vitus Bering]] far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year. 

An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "[http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/04/30/improving-wikipedia-with-friendly-competition/ Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition]", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Jarry1250}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Stone}}, for continued help behind the scenes.

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on ''The X-Files'' and ''Millenium'' keep him in second place overall. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}} leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}, our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored [[Western Jackdaw]], which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}, claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, [[1936 Summer Olympics medal table]], was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, 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]].

''Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working.'' We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Igordebraga}}, who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}, with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.

A quick note about other competitions taking place on Wikipedia which may be of interest. There are 13 days remaining in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/June-July 2012|June-July GAN backlog elimination drive]], but it is not too late to take part. August will also see the return of [[Wikipedia:The Core Contest|The Core Contest]]- a one month long competition first run in 2007. While the WikiCup awards points for audited content on any subject, The Core Contest about is raw article improvement, focussing heavily on the most important articles on Wikipedia.

== uploading pictures with correct licensing ==

Hi Intelati,

I uploaded two jpg files: 

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tess_Broussard_by_Robert_Kenney,_May_2012.jpg

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tess_Broussard_at_the_Shifted_2_Reality_E3_Red_Carpet_Event_2012.jpg

and have two questions:

1. I want to delete these files and upload new files.  how do i delete them?
2. I will use the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) for the new jpg files.  Should i have the photographer who took the photos and owns the copyright email me giving me permission to use the files on wikipedia using the license?  what is the correct way to have the photographer give permission?

thank you!

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article [[Bivalvia]], and Pool B sees {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}} in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film ''[[Pride & Prejudice (2005 film)|Pride & Prejudice]]''. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.

Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions!

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially ''The X-Files'' and ''Millenium'', with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}} led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}} finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article ([[Bivalvia]]) and one good article ([[pelican]]), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}} was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, [[Derek Jeter]], promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Dana boomer}} was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance [[lettuce]] reach featured article status.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sasata}} is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|GreatOrangePumpkin}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ealdgyth}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Calvin999}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Piotrus}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Toa Nidhiki05}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|12george1}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|The Bushranger}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|1111tomica}}. We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring#Changes for next year?|here]]. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened.

== I-49 in MO ==

Hey, I was taking a look at your sandbox page for I-49 in Missouri. You might want to consider looking into the {{tl|jcttop}}, {{tl|jctint}}, and {{tl|legendRJL}} templates for the exit list. [[WP:USRD]] is in the process of converting all of the exit lists to use these templates, which will allow you to keep the exit list in compliance with [[WP:RJL]], the junction list standard. If you convert it before publishing, that'd be one more we wouldn't have to do.

== re: Hint ==

You mean all my recent edits. {{=)}} I've actually been on Wikipedia since at least as far back as 2006 and made numerous edits on other topics over the course of time between then and now, but I'm guessing that there must have been some truncation of edit histories at some point before 2009?

hi, yes i made the ammendment to the Percy French page. In any recent collections or recordings of the song, the emigrant's letter is always referred to as 'cuttin' the corn 'round creeslough' a common refrain. It may be difficult for others to recognise the song under the old, disused title.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/83.71.39.247|83.71.39.247]] ([[User talk:83.71.39.247|talk]]) 00:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hi Intelati-
tommyboymee, here.
Yes, I just edited that page, but I am not sure how I did it.
Looks like images can only be added from the upload page- English or Common ?
Then I added the new image. That image went to the right place. Do you have a simple guide so I can add more images and text to other pages ?  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tommyboymee|Tommyboymee]] ([[User talk:Tommyboymee|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tommyboymee|contribs]]) 01:41, 22 September 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hey {{BASEPAGENAME}}. I'm dropping you a note because you used to (or still do!) patrol new pages. This is just to let you know that we've deployed and developed [[Special:NewPagesFeed|Page Curation]], which augments and supersedes Special:NewPages - there are a lot of interesting new features :). There's some help documentation [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/Introduction|here]] if you want to familiarise yourself with the system and start using it. If you find any bugs or have requests for new features, let us know [[Wikipedia talk:Page Curation|here]]. Thanks!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.  It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

== WikiCup 2012 September newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} currently leads, followed by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sasata}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}. However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of ''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|The Signpost]]''. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring#Straw poll time|straw polls]] have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2013 signups|sign up for next year's competition]]. As ever, 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]]. Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]] • [[Special:Emailuser/J Milburn|email]]) and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] ([[User talk:The ed17|talk]] • [[Special:Emailuser/The ed17|email]]) [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 19:56, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2012 October newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
The 2012 WikiCup has come to a close; congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, our 2012 champion! Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: {{ul|Dreamafter}} (2007), {{ul|jj137}} (2008), {{ul|Durova}} (2009), {{ul|Sturmvogel 66}} (2010) and {{ul|Hurricanehink}} (2011). Our final standings were as follows:

#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sasata}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}}
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Dana boomer}}

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

*The featured article award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for four featured articles in the final round.
*The good article award also goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for 19 good articles in the second round.
*The list award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}, for three featured lists in the final round.
*The topic award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for three good topics (with around 40 articles) in round 4.
*The did you know award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, for well over 100 DYKs in the final round.
*The news award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|ThaddeusB}}, for 10 in the news items in round 3.
*The picture award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grandiose}}, for two featured pictures in round 2.
*The reviewer award goes to both {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} (14 reviews in round 1) and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grandiose}} (14 reviews in round 3).
*Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article [[frog]] to featured status, a [[WP:BS|biostar]] has been awarded to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}.

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring#Straw poll time|discussions and polls are open]], and all contributions are welcome. You can also [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2013 signups|sign up for next year's competition]]. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January!

== I-49 article in your sandbox ==

Intelati,

I recently went to add the (imminent) Missouri section to the main [[Interstate 49]] article, but a little searching revealed that you already have an I-49 article in your sandbox, probably "I-49 in Missouri".  I put a note about your sandboxed article on the main article's talk page.  I know your userpage says you are out until spring 2013, but in case you see this before then, I hope you will consider making your sandboxed article "live" soon.  (MoDOT is officially turning on the I-49 designation later today, 12/12/12.)  Thanks!

Signups are now ''closed''; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sturmvogel_66}} currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ({{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Grapple X}}) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a [[Talk:Arkansas/GA1|detailed good article review]]. Some other firsts:
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was also the first to score for an article, with the good article [[Hurricane Gordon (2000)]]. Again, this is a repeat of last year!
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Buggie111}} was the first to score for a did you know, with [[Marquis Flowers]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Spencer}} was the first to score for an in the news, with [[2013 Houphouët-Boigny stampede]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Status}} was the first to score for a featured list, with [[list of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists|list of ''Billboard'' Social 50 number-one artists]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Adam Cuerden}} was the first to score for a featured picture, with [[:File:Thure de Thulstrup - L. Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg]].

Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.

This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring]]. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:

*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Ed!}} was the first to score bonus points, with [[Portland-class cruiser|''Portland''-class cruiser]], a good article.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Hawkeye7}} has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on [[Enrico Fermi]], now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|HueSatLum}} claimed bonus points for [[René Vautier]] and [[Nicolas de Fer]], articles that did not exist on the English Wikipedia at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of ''other'' Wikipedias.

Also, a quick mention of {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|The C of E}}, who may well have already written the [[WP:ODD|oddest]] article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to [[Fucking Hell]] on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?

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]].

Signups are now ''closed''; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sturmvogel_66}} currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ({{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Grapple X}}) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a [[Talk:Arkansas/GA1|detailed good article review]]. Some other firsts:
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was also the first to score for an article, with the good article [[Hurricane Gordon (2000)]]. Again, this is a repeat of last year!
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Buggie111}} was the first to score for a did you know, with [[Marquis Flowers]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Spencer}} was the first to score for an in the news, with [[2013 Houphouët-Boigny stampede]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Status}} was the first to score for a featured list, with [[list of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists|list of ''Billboard'' Social 50 number-one artists]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Adam Cuerden}} was the first to score for a featured picture, with [[:File:Thure de Thulstrup - L. Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg]].

Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.

This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring]]. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:

*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Ed!}} was the first to score bonus points, with [[Portland-class cruiser|''Portland''-class cruiser]], a good article.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Hawkeye7}} has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on [[Enrico Fermi]], now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|HueSatLum}} claimed bonus points for [[René Vautier]] and [[Nicolas de Fer]], articles that did not exist on the English Wikipedia at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of ''other'' Wikipedias.

Also, a quick mention of {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|The C of E}}, who may well have already written the [[WP:ODD|oddest]] article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to [[Fucking Hell]] on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?

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]]. Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.
