WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. 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 in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Doug Mountjoy

Hi, I'm wondering at Doug's first name, which one would expect to be 'Douglas' and appear as such in the first line of the article. As this is a GA I won't change the text, however. Regards Billsmith60 (talk) 21:11, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, as far as I'm aware, I have never seen a source refer to him as such. Whilst I'd also assume it's a shortening of his birth name, we'd need to prove it. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:16, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Is this archive.org doc enough, from The Times, Feb. 1977: https://archive.org/stream/NewsUK1977UKEnglish/Feb%2012%201977%2C%20The%20Times%2C%20%2359932%2C%20UK%20%28en%29_djvu.txt Billsmith60 (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Yeah, seems suitable. Should probably go into main body with the cite and the lede updated. Good find. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
