== WikiCup 2022 July newsletter ==

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

*] ], with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} ], with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
*] ], with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. 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 Misplaced Pages policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on ] (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on ], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

== WikiCup 2022 November newsletter ==

The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The '''2022 champion''' is
*{{flagicon|England}} ] (1752 points), who won in 2020 and was runner up in both 2019 and last year. In the final round he achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on cue sports. He was closely followed by
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} ] (1732), who specialised in "In the news" items and DYKs, and who has reached the final round of the Cup for the past three years. Next was
*] ] (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by
*{{flagicon|New York City}} ] (1082), an "In the news" contributor, a seasoned contestant who first took part in the Cup ten years ago. Other finalists were

All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. 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 the overall leader in this field.

*{{flagicon|England}} ] wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round.
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} ] wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
*] ] wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.

== Non-standard block lengths ==

Hi Mitchazenia. I was wondering if there was a reason you blocked ] for 6476 years rather than indefinitely. It's not a big deal, but those sorts of blocks do end up getting logged at ], so generally it's best to just indef unless there's a good reason not to. Thanks. ] (]) 22:38, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2023 March newsletter ==

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

*{{flagicon image|Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg|link=Dual monarchy of England and France}} ] with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
*{{flagicon|New York (state)}} ] was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
*{{flagicon|Germany}} ] was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
*{{flagicon|USA}} ], another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
*{{flagicon|Byzantine Empire}} ] was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included {{flagicon|Berkelland}} ], {{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} ], {{flagicon image|Transgender Pride flag.svg|link=Transgender}} ], {{flagicon|New England}} ], {{flagicon|ENG}} ], {{flagicon|Indonesia}} ], {{flagicon image|Flag of Earth.svg|link=Earth}} ], {{flagicon|Washington}} ], {{flagicon|Wales}} ], {{flagicon image|Flag_of_Esperanto.svg|link=Esperanto}} ] and {{flagicon|Chicago}} ]. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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 ].

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on ], 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 ].</small> ] and ]. ] (]) 19:36, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

  1. Expect two-talk conversations, because since 2008 or so, I've stopped replying on my user talk page.
  2. No talkback tags. I hate those, and I scan my watchlist at much as possible (sometimes 25–30 times daily) and every talk page I edit is on it, so I'll see.
  3. Please don't leave messages on joining a controversial discussion on my talk, if I feel like joining it, I will.
  4. Threads are archived every 32 threads into a new archive. The current archive in work is Archive 50.
  5. This user talk page is a bullshit-free zone. Please keep that in mind.
