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:

• Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
• Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
• FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
• TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
• Iazyges 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 LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

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!

Report moved to WP:ANI

Hi Juxlos, thanks for your AIV report. It seems a bit more complicated than a simple quick vandalism report should be, so I have moved it to WP:ANI. I'll add notifications on the IP addresses' talk pages. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:13, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

TFA

Thank you today for Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, "about an Indonesian economist/politician/rebel/oligarch/aristocrat/statesman, depending on when and who you ask (well except "economist", everyone agrees on that), who formed Indonesia's economic policies from 1950 to 1957 and 1968 to the 1980s and arguably to this day."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:15, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not /r/WallStreetBets

Agree, but Wall Street itself has become a casino. This sort of behavior can cause a crash all by itself as pointed out here, quite apart from the expected downturn based on the macro conditions as mentioned here.

Now, I do agree that we must wait until the fallout of the rate hikes becomes news, we should then consider making those issues part of ongoing news. But the side that's betting here are not the analysts who are saying that the stock market is overvalued, it's the people betting using 0DTE options that forces market makers to hedge by buying stocks which pushes the market upward. The more this happens, the more violently this whole thing will come crashing down. Count Iblis (talk) 06:19, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not the SEC either - it's not editors' jobs to comment on these. Juxlos (talk) 06:29, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

good work

but what is a non-indonesian reader to make of the acronyms? JarrahTree 09:02, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Both acronyms are used in the first sentence, so I don’t think it’s an issue. Juxlos (talk) 09:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

I do - there is nothing like a conventional lead sentence to lay it out for a non-Indonesian to know what the hell is going on. JarrahTree 09:35, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
