And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants. |
|||
Our top scorers in Round 1 were: |
|||
*{{flagicon|USA}} [[User:L293D|L293D]], a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points. |
|||
*[[File:Pirate_Flag_of_Henry_Every.svg|25px]] {{u|Adam Cuerden}}, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork. |
|||
*{{flagicon|Denmark}} [[User:MPJ-DK|MPJ-DK]], a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs. |
|||
*{{flagicon|USA}} [[user:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets. |
|||
*[[File:Flag of the United States Library of Congress 2.svg|25px]] [[user:Squeamish Ossifrage|Squeamish Ossifrage]] was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the [[1937 Fox vault fire]] to featured article status. |
|||
*{{flagicon|Ohio}} [[User:Ed!|Ed!]] was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually). |
|||
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all! |
|||
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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]]. |
|||
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.
