WikiCup 2015 March newsletter
[edit].jpg)
That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.
Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by 
Cyclonebiskit (submissions), and two each by 
MPJ-DK (submissions), 
Hurricanehink (submissions), 
12george1 (submissions), and 
Cas Liber (submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by 
Adam Cuerden (submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by 
Cwmhiraeth (submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with 
J Milburn (submissions) completing nine.

WikiCup 2016 March newsletter (update)
[edit]Along with getting the year wrong in the newsletter that went out earlier this week, we did not mention (as the bot did not report) that Cas Liber (submissions) claimed the first Featured Article Persoonia terminalis of the 2016 Wikicup.

Just a note that I removed your U5 speedy deletion tag from this page. It doesn't look like a case of web hosting in user space to me; it looks like a perfectly viable userspace draft. The user has also contributed to mainspace articles in the same topic area. All in all I think we can give him the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith.
Cheers,

- I also removed your A3 CSD tags that you placed on articles that did include content (like Ken Owen (journalist)). Please be careful when you evaluate articles and if you believe speedy deletion is called for, use the appropriate code. Liz Read! Talk! 18:05, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
