WikiCup 2022 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
  • Christmas Island AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
  • Philadelphia GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
  • United Nations Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
  • SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
  • United Nations Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I thought you might like that one, leek! I first came across Pink Peacock when they made an absurdly good trans day of visibility haggadah last year. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 18:22, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Question from Wmmckissock on Wikipedia:Contact us/Readers (20:26, 12 March 2022)

Hello: I tried to get a "List of average daily % changes in 2021 in the S&P 500 Index" to display, but no results were available. Can I request this search page be created and if yes how? BTY I'm looking for a list of stocks that had very small % moves with 0% in the middle with small ups and small downs on either side.. Thanks Bill P.S Great inf o on this site! --Wmmckissock (talk) 20:26, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Bill! What you're looking for is probably outside Wikipedia's scope. It seems like you might be more likely to find that on a stocks-focused website. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 22:43, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
