Hello,
Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:
{{
WikiProject Eurovision}}
now accepts importance ratings as well as quality ratings, and the project now has a formal
assessment department which gives details on how to assess articles, and provides a place for contributors to request re-assessment. Feel free to add the {{
WikiProject Eurovision}}
template to the talk page of any new Eurovision articles you create.{{
Eurovision-stub}}
. Please only use this on Eurovision Song Contest stubs, with {{
Music-stub}}
and {{
Dance-stub}}
being the appropriate template for other Eruovision contests.If you have any questions, please ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision.

The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists,
Another Believer (
submissions),
Piotrus (
submissions),
Grandiose (
submissions),
Stone (
submissions),
Eisfbnore (
submissions),
Canada Hky (
submissions) and
MuZemike (
submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.
In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha ( talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.
A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Thank you. I have changed my sign so that there are no more copyvios. --

We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by
Miyagawa (
submissions),
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Sp33dyphil (
submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (
1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and
Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's
1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the
scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.

The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is
Hurricanehink (
submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners:
Dreamafter (2007),
jj137 (2008),
Durova (2009) and
Sturmvogel_66 (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.
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!

It was good to have you on board this time around- we hope you enjoyed the competition! In case you are interested, signups for next year are open. Thanks, J Milburn and The ed17 20:44, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
