WikiCup 2023 March newsletter
So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:


 * Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
 * Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
 * 🇩🇪 FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
 * 🇺🇸 TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
 * Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna,  Thebiguglyalien,  Sammi Brie,  Trainsandotherthings,  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, 🇮🇩 Juxlos,  Unexpectedlydian,  SounderBruce, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Kosack,  BennyOnTheLoose and  PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Spare a boon?
I'm trying to rope in a new user, he's interested in jewish queer topics – you got any short bios you've left lying around that we could work on? I'll be able to help with technical stuff, but still, easier is better :) thanks so much! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:31, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds like my kind of new user, leek! Noam Sienna could definitely be expanded and I know there're at least a few sources out there. Ditto for Roberto Jáuregui. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 02:59, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * oh, y'all would get along great :) I did mean a couple of redlinks that would make for short bios, but actually, this is way better, it gives a bit of structure to the sandbox! Thanks so much :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:47, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * , as far as redlinks go, Solomon JB Brager (formerly went by JB Brager, which is the name most news coverage uses) might fit the bill. Ditto for probably-notable queer Jewish tattoo artist Joey Ramona. Social movement artist Micah Bazant ought to have an article too. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 22:31, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
