Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: {{ul|Dreamafter}} (2007), {{ul|jj137}} (2008), {{ul|Durova}} (2009), {{ul|Sturmvogel 66}} (2010) and {{ul|Hurricanehink}} (2011). Our final standings were as follows: #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sasata}} #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}} #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}} #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}} #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Dana boomer}} 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 goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for four featured articles in the final round. *The good article award also goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for 19 good articles in the second round. *The list award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}, for three featured lists in the final round. *The topic award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for three good topics (with around 40 articles) in round 4. *The did you know award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, for well over 100 DYKs in the final round. *The news award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|ThaddeusB}}, for 10 in the news items in round 3. *The picture award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grandiose}}, for two featured pictures in round 2. *The reviewer award goes to both {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} (14 reviews in round 1) and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grandiose}} (14 reviews in round 3). *Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article [[frog]] to featured status, a [[WP:BS|biostar]] has been awarded to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}. Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants. Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring#Straw poll time|discussions and polls are open]], and all contributions are welcome. You can also [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2013 signups|sign up for next year's competition]]. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January!

Would you take another look at your close of [[Talk:Richard Tylman#RfC: Should information sourced to research in genealogical websites be included?]]. I don't think you considered [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 132#Genealogy databases]] in your close. I find the arguments by {{user|My very best wishes}}, {{user|Shearonink}}, {{user|Amadscientist}}, {{user|Brianann MacAmhlaidh}}, {{user|Slp1}}, and {{user|The Four Deuces}} very compelling. The arguments that the genealogical website links in the articles are primary sources that are discouraged per [[WP:SPS]] don't seem to be refuted in the RfC.<p>On the talk page, {{user|GeorgeLouis}} wrote, "The reason we have footnotes and links is so anybody can go to the Source and see if it is authoritative or not." This is unsupported by the reliable sources guideline which forbids inclusion of unreliable sources. {{user|ClemRutter}}'s comment reads like an ''ad hominem'' against the RfC initiator and admits that many of the genealogical references are primary sources or user-generated, and {{user|Juraj Budak}} did not provide any arguments beyond saying "per GeorgeLouis and ClemRetter".

At this stage in 2012, the leader ({{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Grapple X}}) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a [[Talk:Arkansas/GA1|detailed good article review]]. Some other firsts: *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was also the first to score for an article, with the good article [[Hurricane Gordon (2000)]].

Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg]]. Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition. This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring]]. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points: *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Ed!}} was the first to score bonus points, with [[Portland-class cruiser|''Portland''-class cruiser]], a good article. *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Hawkeye7}} has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on [[Enrico Fermi]], now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score. *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|HueSatLum}} claimed bonus points for [[René Vautier]] and [[Nicolas de Fer]], articles that did not exist on the English Wikipedia at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of ''other'' Wikipedias. Also, a quick mention of {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|The C of E}}, who may well have already written the [[WP:ODD|oddest]] article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to [[Fucking Hell]] on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery?

We haven't been using that format for the reviewer requests for months. It was meant to be switched over to the same format used by the other requests at the end of the pending changes trial (when PC was officially started). The clue is in how all the other archives in that format have "historical" in the title. Now I admit that it took me a while to realise this myself (although I have now had the bot updated for a good while), since the bot just kept running happily and nobody said anything, but I think it's a bit ridiculous to actually manually end up creating a new archive page like that. I really don't get why you still insist on doing the archiving manually all the time when it's a job which can be handled much more efficiently by a computer program, without making the same mistakes as a human does. This is akin to someone taking it upon themselves to manually move ANI threads to the archives there and update archive indexes and what not - in other words, a complete waste of time since a bot is doing that very well already.

I've encountered an overzealous deleter who insists on deleting an entire contribution I made to an article based on one little technicality. Instead of merely editing that technicality, or informing me to do so, he repeatedly deleted the entire contribution which seemed a bit extreme. I believe he violated the three-revert rule because he did it several times on the same day. He insisted on reverting even a spelling error I corrected back to the misspelled version! Even after showing him evidence for every addition I made to the article he's still arguing every point and coming up with new ones that don't seem to be related just to be antagonistic as if he's a control freak. It seems very personal to him as if he feels threatened by contributions from others. I checked out his talk page and he seems to have a history of doing this and a history of not getting along with people.

The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below. Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were: #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sturmvogel_66}}, primarily for an array of warship GAs. #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Miyagawa}}, primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points. #{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Casliber}}, due in no small part to [[Canis Minor]], a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Keilana}}, this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition. Other contributors of note include: *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sven Manguard}}, whose [[Portal:Massachusetts]] is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores. *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sasata}}, whose ''[[Mycena aurantiomarginata]]'' was the first featured article this year. *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Muboshgu}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Wizardman}}, who both claimed points for articles in the [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/Major League Baseball tie-breakers|Major League Baseball tie-breakers]] topic, the first topic points in the competition. *{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Toa Nidhiki05}}, who claimed for the first full good topic with the [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/Casting Crowns studio albums|Casting Crowns studio albums]] topic. Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a [[WP:ODD|curious contribution]] has been offered by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|The C of E}}: did you know that there is a [[Shit Brook]] in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles... March sees the [[Wikipedia:WikiWomen's History Month|WikiWomen's History Month]], a series of collaborative efforts to aid the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History|women's history WikiProject]] to coincide with [[Women's History Month]] and [[International Women's Day]]. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a [[Wikipedia:WikiWomen's History Month/To-do list|to-do list]] of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup#Easter DYKs|an effort from WikiCup participants]] to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome! A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review ''only''. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.
