WikiCup 2011 October newsletter

[edit]

The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners: Dreamafter (2007), jj137 (2008), Durova (2009) and Sturmvogel_66 (2010). The final standings were as follows:

  1. Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions)
  2. Australia Sp33dyphil (submissions)
  3. Greece Yellow Evan (submissions)
  4. Principality of Sealand Miyagawa (submissions)
  5. Ohio Wizardman (submissions)
  6. Scotland Casliber (submissions)
  7. Canada Resolute (submissions)
  8. Russia PresN (submissions)

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.

Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

November Metro and notice

Simply south...... "time, department skies" for 5 years 01:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I also found it hard to edit your page as there were so many barnstars and other symbols in the way. Maybe you could shorten these to an userbox? Simply south...... "time, department skies" for 5 years 01:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, okay. I've never had that complaint before! Usually just clicking on the tab opens a new section. I don't have any barnstars or symbols on my talk page, just a few transcluded pages. I might redesign next year though. Matthewedwards :  Chat  02:06, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I meant all the barnstars showing links to the featured articles and that at the top of the page. Barnstar refers to an award or the star in general. Simply south...... "time, department skies" for 5 years 10:50, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
