WikiCup 2019 March newsletter
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:
- L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
- Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
- 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.
- Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
- Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
- 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. Good luck!

Thank you
Ten years ago today, you welcomed me to Wikipedia. (I've since been renamed.) I was an impressionable young thirteen-year-old at the time, and your edit immediately gave me a positive impression of this place and encouraged me to contribute further. I don't know if I would've kept editing if you hadn't welcomed me and I like to think I've been a net positive here, so I suppose we have you to thank for the work I've done on Wikipedia. It's something that's been on my mind recently, and I wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten your kindness. — SamX [talk · contribs] 02:40, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hey Sam! I'm glad to hear something I've done has made an impression and stuck with you a decade later. Truth be told, 2013 feels like a past life, what with all of the everything that's happened since then. I haven't been active onwiki for over half a decade, so I'm honored that anyone outside of my immediate circle has remembered any of my contributions at this point. Cheers to a decade of building an encyclopedia and here's to a decade more! I hope you enjoyed the cookies. TCN7JM 05:01, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- They were pretty sweet! I became mostly inactive in 2014 and only truly returned in October last year, so I can definitely relate to you there. There's still a lot of work to be done in my main area of interest and I have the motivation to edit for the time being, so I'll probably be around for a quite a while. Regardless of whether you spend them onwiki, I hope the coming years treat you well :) — SamX [talk · contribs] 05:19, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
