I've noticed that a number of articles on The Boat Race for various years have been coming through the Signpost as featured articles. Are all of them your work? And if so, do you intend to do them all?


* Following the ] took place at ], set of new task forces have been created and has been added to the ] as well.
I'm so hoping you are going to do them all. That would be amazing. =) <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">''']''' <sup>(])</sup></span> 06:49, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

:::Cool, but go carefully, I'm ''persona non grata'' with many users of Misplaced Pages. I'm doing my best to improve the content yet I continually run into "monitor editors" who are here to simply comment on other people's behaviour without themselves contributing to the encyclopedia. Adding this to ''Signpost'' may just upset them one more time as they consider additions to the content of the encyclopedia to be somewhat irrelevant, preferring instead to stick to drama boards and attempting to portray themselves as some kind of mediator. In any case, you know what I'm up to, and I'm happy to see it recognised, but it's not important. I just want to make Misplaced Pages more complete, unlike those I've mentioned who simply aim to further their own ego, their own agenda, their own ownership. Cheers. ] (]) 19:12, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Misplaced Pages has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!
