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

  • England Lee Vilenski (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
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132 (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
  • Zulu (International Code of Signals) BennyOnTheLoose (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by
  • New York City Muboshgu (1082), an "In the news" contributor, a seasoned contestant who first took part in the Cup ten years ago. Other finalists were
  • Sammi Brie (930), who scored with a featured article, good articles and DYKs on TV and radio stations,
  • United Nations Kavyansh.Singh (370), who created various articles on famous Americans, including an FA on Louis H. Bean, famed for his prediction of election outcomes. Next was
  • Chicago PCN02WPS (292), who scored with good articles and DYKs on sporting and other topics and
  • Toronto Z1720 (25) who had DYKs on various topics including historic Canadians.

During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! 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.

  • England Lee Vilenski wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round.
  • United Nations Kavyansh.Singh wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
  • Adam Cuerden wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.
  • Toronto Z1720 wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius wins the good article prize, for 32 GAs in round 1.
  • SounderBruce wins the featured topic prize, for 4 FT articles in round 1.
  • England Lee Vilenski wins the good topic prize, for 34 GT articles in round 5.
  • Sammi Brie wins the good article reviewer prize, for 71 GARs overall.
  • Sammi Brie wins the Did you know prize, for 30 DYKs in round 3 and 106 overall.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132 wins the In the news prize, for 106 ITNs in round 5 and 289 overall.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed on the discussion page. You are invited to sign up to take part in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners and finalists, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Question from Jcgonz3 (07:00, 27 November 2022)

Hi hello!

I am new to this, so any tips that you might have for a new editor would be greatly appreciated.

One question that I have is regarding the sources. How do you find sources regarding niche topics? --Jcgonz3 (talk) 07:00, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hey, @Jcgonz3! It highly depends on the topic you're looking in – the relevant wikiproject might have some guidelines on trade publications, or Google Scholar and the Open Library might be able to help you out. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 08:12, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Jcgonz3, I second what leek said above (and wikiprojects are explained here), plus The Wikipedia Library is a fantastic resource once you've been around long enough to access it. But what specific topic(s) are you looking for? There's a good chance I or someone watching my talk page will be able to help more specifically. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:56, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for your all your help. One topic that I was having difficulty finding reputable sources or information on was a topic that just popped into my feed. It involved Hyatt Regency Dallas, and the article was written like an advertisement. When I tried looking for sources, a lot of them were just reviews, advertisements, etc. Jcgonz3 (talk) 05:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
Jcgonz3, WikiProject Travel and Tourism might have some useful resources for that, or its talk page might be a good place to ask for advice. Epicgenius has a lot of experience with this type of article – chime in here if you want, Epic! — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:09, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping ezlev. @Jcgonz3, you may want to check out historic newspapers on somewhere like Google News, Library of Congress or a regional library. Some states have their own newspaper collections; for example, the Texas Digital Newspaper Program, the Texas State Library, and newspapers.com may have newspapers that you could look at (newspapers.com requires a subscription, but after editing for 6 months and making 500 edits, you can get a subscription for free through the Wikipedia Library). I see you haven't had much luck looking through newspapers, so I'd recommend you search for any books, magazines, etc. that mention the subject. If you find a good source that you can't access, you can ask at Wikipedia:Resource Exchange, since they can frequently provide a copy of the source for you. – Epicgenius (talk) 20:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
