WikiCup 2018
So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest? , and. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Adoption
Hello there, I am a slightly inexperienced user looking for a mentor to help learn things about Wikipedia. I have been unblocked very recently with a special 1 Revert Rule which must be noted. I also have a topic ban as well. Could you please consider adopting me so that I can get better at using Wikipedia. I am particularly interested in counter-vandalism. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you in advance. Pablothepenguin (talk) 20:57, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello there, thank you for offering your services as a mentor, however unfortunately, I regret to inform you that I have received an offer from another user which I have accepted. I wish you good luck finding a new user to work with! Pablothepenguin (talk) 20:24, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
