Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards.

The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Question from Aliyann (18:28, 23 November 2023)

Hey. Hope you're doing great! I would like to contribute to wiki by creating a page of a person recently on the come up in the public sphere. Can you give any tips for that? --Aliyann (talk) 18:28, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

DYKs

You seem to know what you're doing with them, so this is the first time I ever tried, does this one look okay? Template:Did you know nominations/Zarlor Mercenary ? Regards Govvy (talk) 12:11, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

It does look okay - but DYK has a “1 week from creation/expansion” time limit, and I sorta doubt they will make an exception since the article is from 2006. Juxlos (talk) 14:02, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
