WikiCup 2010 October newsletter

The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to New South Wales Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – White Shadows (submissions), William S. Saturn (submissions), Connecticut Staxringold (submissions) and Colombia ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to Hungary Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is New South Wales Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Connecticut Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Republic of Ireland Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

RfA Nomination

Hi Tony, congrats on coming second in the WikiCup. With the WikiCup over I have come to ask if you would consider running for Adminship. Keep up the good work. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 2:54pm • 03:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I saw what went on at WT:DYK, frankly I don't think that will affect the votes themselves that much, please at least allow me to write the nomination and email it to you so you can see if it covers these events significantly enough. Cheers, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 4:05pm • 05:05, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Righto. Will email you with the nom when done. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 4:55pm • 05:55, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Wolf Point

Thanks. I'm not sure it's finished yet—I wanted to get it back out of my sandbox and into the article space to allow anyone else who wanted to edit it to do so. I'd like to know when Marshall Field got hold of the land on the north bank, and I think something more about Wacker Drive on the south bank would be good. I'm thinking of also adding short summaries about the three bridges that bracket the forks now (Franklin, Lake, Kinzie railroad). —Jeremy (talk) 14:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm just wanted to let you two know that I've started the GAN review for Wolf Point. If you're watching each other's talk pages, you've saved me an edit.
--Gyrobo (talk) 00:31, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Wow, that was the quickest I've ever seen an article get a GA review. —Jeremy (talk) 22:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Advice to improve sports article

Hi Tony. Hope all is well. May I please trouble you for some advice? I have created an article titled History of women's ice hockey in the United States. In addition, I did one for Canadian women's hockey history but I want to beef up the US article. I wanted to know if you could please take a brief look at it and advise me what would be needed to make it an A class or Good Article status. Thanks for your time. Congrats on 2nd in the WP:Cup.

Harris Theater

The article got 14,300 page views as TFA yesterday, see here. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:59, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

It is all relative. I look to see what the average page views per day were a month or two before and compare that. In September 2010, it got about 35 hits a day. This represents over a 400-fold increase. If only there could have been some mention of scandal or nude performances in the TFA blurb ;-) Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:30, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Sir, it's ready for you. Publication will be in less than 24 hours, so any time, say, in the next 20 hours, I guess. Sorry so late in the day. Tony (talk) 14:02, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tony. Great to see that in addition to all of your wonderful featured content work, you've also been involved with organizing Chicago meetups.
