WikiCup 2011 October newsletter
The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is, who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners: (2007),  (2008),  (2009) and  (2010). The final standings were as follows:



Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.


 * The Featured Article Award:, for his performance in round 2. matched the score, but Casliber won the tiebreaker.
 * The Good Article Award:, for his performance in round 4.
 * The Featured List Award:, for his performance in round 4. matched the score, but Miyagawa won the tiebreaker.
 * The Recognised Topic Award (for good and featured topics):, for his performance in round 3.
 * The Did You Know Award:, for his performance in round 1.
 * The In the News Award:, for his performance in round 1.
 * The Reviewer Award (for good article reviews):, for his performance in round 3.

No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.

Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

Template:Infobox hurricane season
Hi. I had to revert your changes to, as they were causing the infoboxes to disappear in many pages. For example, the infobox in 1966 Atlantic hurricane season would show up as a &lt;div> with no content. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 19:53, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Eh, must have broken something. I'll take a look at [ my changes] . Thanks for telling me, though. — mc10 ( t / c ) 05:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Abbey National BS v Cann (1990)
you undid my edit, i only edited that because i could not find any mention of lord justice russell and in fact those who gave opinions in this case at the house of lords where the judges i edited in under the opinions header. i do not see how that is not constructive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.240.231.5 (talk) 04:22, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

State College Area High School Page
Hey, it just said that I preformed "vandalism" for deleting an edit that was clearly not serious noteable alumni: cearl, member of oddfuturetalk, and lacrosse player is actually just a joke that someone did, so if you could delete that and replace that with the entry that I put in, about Butch Leitzinger, who is ACTUALLY a noteable alumni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.54.69.145 (talk) 04:42, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅. In the future, please use an informative edit summary when you edit. Cheers, — mc10 ( t / c ) 04:44, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Christmas' Motto 2011
We need your help. We would be grateful if you would take a few minutes to discuss the nomination for Christmas. The second version is much better, but it is necessary to reach a consensus before approving it. Thanks and all the best for the upcoming Holiday season! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

RFA thank you
Thank you for your coment and support at my recent successful RFA. Being now the new fellow in the fraternity of administrators, I will do my best to live up to the confidence shown in me by others, will move slowly and carefully when using the mop, will seek input from others before any action of which I might be unsure, and will try not to break anything beyond repair. Best,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 20:57, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
