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!

Hi Tony, congrats on coming second in the WikiCup. With the WikiCup over I have come to ask if you would consider running for Adminship. Keep up the good work. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 2:54pm • 03:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Wolf Point
Thanks. I'm not sure it's finished yet—I wanted to get it back out of my sandbox and into the article space to allow anyone else who wanted to edit it to do so. I'd like to know when Marshall Field got hold of the land on the north bank, and I think something more about Wacker Drive on the south bank would be good. I'm thinking of also adding short summaries about the three bridges that bracket the forks now (Franklin, Lake, Kinzie railroad). —Jeremy (talk) 14:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm just wanted to let you two know that I've started the GAN review for Wolf Point. If you're watching each other's talk pages, you've saved me an edit.

Advice to improve sports article
Hi Tony. Hope all is well. May I please trouble you for some advice? I have created an article titled History of women's ice hockey in the United States. In addition, I did one for Canadian women's hockey history but I want to beef up the US article. I wanted to know if you could please take a brief look at it and advise me what would be needed to make it an A class or Good Article status. Thanks for your time. Congrats on 2nd in the WP:Cup.

Harris Theater
The article got 14,300 page views as TFA yesterday, see here. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:59, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- It is all relative. I look to see what the average page views per day were a month or two before and compare that. In September 2010, it got about 35 hits a day. This represents over a 400-fold increase. If only there could have been some mention of scandal or nude performances in the TFA blurb ;-) Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:30, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
DYK for Jordan Kovacs
 | On 10 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jordan Kovacs, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that American football safety Jordan Kovacs went from being a walk-on to being the second leading tackler in the Big Ten Conference? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Thanks for your comments so far on the article :) I think I've addressed all but the last one so far - and have several books on order to work on that over the next week. Unfortunately I just moved house so outside work have to beg-borrow-and-steal net access till Friday :) hopefully I can crack on after that.
