WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by 
Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), 
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and 
TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by 
Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to 
Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by 
Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

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 Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – 
White Shadows (submissions), 
William S. Saturn (submissions), 
Staxringold (submissions) and 
ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to 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 Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is 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 Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is 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!

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to 
The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by 
Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to 
Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, 
Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and 
Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Colored templates
You need to ease off young man.
There are all sorts of colored templates on Wikipedia, and not just on sports teams.
Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Burger King, McDonalds, Each of the Big 3 auto makers...I can go on and on.
Nobody needed consensus there, someone just colored them in, and that was it.
You can't pick and choose what templates get colored and which don't...it should be either all or nothing.
Really...back off.
Vjmlhds 23:36, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hurt your eyes?!?!
Come on man.
There has NEVER EVER been consenus needed to clor templates before.
Someone did it and that was it.
Nobody elected you to be the template police.
Go bother the Dallas Cowboys article, and see how far your theory goes.
Or go see Pepsi.
There is nothing wrong with colored templates...there's a reason why so many of them have been colored way before I got here.
Check yourself, before you wreck yourself.
Vjmlhds 23:49, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Touch the templates one more time, you're gonna get blocked!
Vjmlhds 23:52, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Threat? Come on.
I was trying to tell you that you're making a fool out of yourself, and that nobody asked you to be the template police.
Go play your bass and leave the grown-ups alone.

- Its a ridiculous discussion. What bothers me most is that there are actually people that have a problem with this for no legitimate reason other than the fact that something that has been a certain way for the longest time is now being changed. How about bringing up concerns over the readability of colored text? But nooooooooooo waaaaayyyy mannnnn ur tottallyyyy changin mah page dude.... The discussion of which you speak of, I remind you, you turned into a vote. [1] Remember what Wikipedia is not. That said, your argument over the choice of colors is a valid one. On a final note, if anything should hurt your eyes its your choice of Talk page design. SMILEY --UnquestionableTruth-- 01:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- The italicized text is a generalized conceptualization of the routine reasoning behind some reversions commonly seen on Wikipedia. As you can tell, I posted the same text on my response at WT:PW. Hope you didn't take it personally. Finally, lets not kid ourselves... It was pissing ALL of us off. Cheers.--UnquestionableTruth-- 02:00, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
