Just a quick note to remind everyone that Round 1 finishes tonight at 23:59:59 server time (GMT). Any submission that should be placed for round one need to be added to your submission pages by then. Please note that if you fail to claim an article which was promoted prior to that deadline, then you can't claim it in round 2. If however it becomes worthy for points during the gap between rounds 1 and 2 then you can claim it as soon as round 2 starts.
As we haven't yet managed to get the bot to successfully add the points for the bonuses for FPs, I'll do that manually after the end of the round. We'll get something working on this before it becomes serious in round 2 (I say that because at present no one will be eliminated by those bonus points being added late as currently everyone who has scored points is going through to round 2 - but this could be possible in later rounds).
I think it's also worth while mentioning the seeding that we'll be doing once again. In previous cups the draws for the forthcoming groups were random - we're switching to a seeding system so that each of the 64 going through will be placed in groups of 8 based on thier scores (any ties will be broken by whatever magical way the table sorts people). So for example, the eight currently leading editors according to the unofficial tool are Freikorp (622), Caponer (391), Casliber (310), Rodw (304), Jaguar (292), Good888 (246), Cwmhiraeth (237), Harrias (208) (although note that Godot13 is in 9th place and hasn't been credited FP bonuses yet, but let's stick with Harrias for this example to keep it simple). Those eight would form the first pot, thereby meaning that only one of each pot will be placed in each group for round 2, meaning that they won't have to directly face each other to qualify for round 3.
We will continue to keep to this seeding system throughout the competition as it makes the earlier rounds more important. For rounds 3 onwards, the winners from the groups in round 2 will form one pot, and the runners-up will form another. The wildcards will be split into pots based on their scores.
I'll update the table tonight straight after the end of the round with the FP bonuses and to clarify who has qualified for round 2. I'll do the draw out of the pots using a random number generator on Friday night and put the finalised draw up on the 28th so that you can see who you've been drawn against for round 2 before it starts - at that point I'll blank out the submission pages for the new round too. Then once March 1st begins on server time, you can start submitting articles/pictures/reviews once more. We'll also send out a newsletter at some point over the weekend to cover the end of the round and the start of the new one.
Good luck everyone, and happy editing! Miyagawa ( talk) 13:34, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

I believe that people should get points if they move articles from Start-class to C-class, C-class to B and so on.

I just got my first ever GA (which is very exciting). I note within the DYK rules that one can do a DYK for a newly promoted GA, so I'm going to do so, but is it proper under the WikiCup rules to double-dip on this? That is, to score points for GA and DYK on the same article at the same time? I'm doing the DYK anyway, but want to be sure it is OK before I try and claim the points. Thanks, 1bandsaw ( talk) 22:56, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
What about the reverse order? If a new or 5x-expanded article is nominated and appears as a DYK and is also later promoted to GA (in same round), can points be claimed for both the DYK and GA? AHeneen ( talk) 03:49, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

I wonder why I only got 5 points for S.A.S. v. France which is a very long article. Could it be because I forgot to link to the article when I added it to my competition page (I only added the DYK template). Iselilja ( talk) 19:34, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
@ Godot13: @ The Herald: I think we finally have a temporary solution to the issue of the bot not calculating the bonus points for the Featured Pictures. So, could I ask you to replicate what I've done on Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2015/Submissions/Godot13 under the DYK section - adding the same article multiple times to generate the relevant number of bonus points. Admittedly it'll come up in the DYK column of the table, but it's better than not appearing at all. Also, if you could add comment tags like this: <!-- this type of comment --> to each batch of additions so that we can keep track of what points are linked to which picture. Miyagawa ( talk) 20:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Is there anyone who would be kind enough to review one or more of my DYKs. I need some more points to be sure to advance, and I have worked so hard the last weeks, but All my DYKs have stalled (exept one which was reviewed at my reqquest); a GA review I worked so hard with turned have some problems I had overlooked so I may need to turn it over to another reviewer and a PR I was preparing turned out to have been requested by a sockpuppet. So, I really would appreciate if someone would very soon review one or two of my four pending DYK nominations, so maybe one can get on the main page within the 28th. They are listed here.

I want to extend my thanks and gratitude to all of you who help make the WikiCup happen, from the contestants to the judges ( Figureskatingfan, Miyagawa, Sturmvogel 66). This year's WikiCup was the first time I really ventured into content creation or reviewing and I had a great time. Unfortunately, this round brings my elimination, as the final peer review I was working on was not suitable for submission after I lost half of it minutes before the round finished. That being said, the ultimate winner of the WikiCup is indeed Wikipedia, and I now have the confidence and familiarity to venture out on my own content editing endeavors thanks to the Cup. I wish you all the best of luck. Have fun editing and I'll be back again next year. MJ94 ( talk) 00:21, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I can see why stubs ought not earn points, but how about awarding bonus points for creating an article and improving it to GA or FA? Rationalobserver ( talk) 17:40, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I noticed one of the competitors got an article to FA on 24 April, but didn't claim it until the deadline had passed, at 01:34 29 April. In spite of this, the user was able to make around 100 edits during this time. It doesn't seem very sporting to claim points after the deadline; what is the rule on this? Last year's verdict was "The cut-off is at midnight tonight- after that point, the points are pretty much final, unless someone is seen to have submitted something that they shouldn't have or not submitted something they're entitled to (within reason- we won't punish you for not sitting on Wikipedia at the exact time)". Thanks, C 679 04:55, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
As an idea for next year, I see that we have double points for being on 20 Wikis and triple points for being on 50, but how about quadruple points for being on 100 Wikis? Rationalobserver ( talk) 22:18, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I note that the current rules for PRs/GARs state that "You may claim points upon the completion of a review, that is, when the article is passed or failed or closed.", but I have been claiming for peer reviews once I'd completed my review. As such, I have two questions- first, are we obliged to wait until peer reviews are formally closed before claiming points for them (if so, my apologies for claiming for things I probably shouldn't have...), and, second, might it be better to split the rules for peer reviews and good articles on the scoring page? The current arrangement strikes me as a little convoluted. Josh Milburn ( talk) 17:17, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
The groups for the third round are now up - please hold off entering in submissions for today and yesterday until after midnight tonight (server time) when the round officially begins. A newsletter will be following in the next day or so. Miyagawa ( talk) 16:17, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Hey everyone. Someone asked a while back if there were any ways to speed up appearances for your articles on Did You Know. So as someone who is approaching their 500th DYK appearance and regularly creates DYK sets, I thought I might be able to lend a few suggestions to help out. So here are my top five tips:
I'll sign off with what is technically not a tip about getting a hook posted, but generally an overall tip which can be applied at DYK and GA - if all the other similar articles are already reviewed then other people will have to review your article. But one step further for DYK is to make your article as appealing to review for everyone - make sure you cite everything to reliable sources and follow the general guidelines for posting. That way there's nothing to put anyone off from reviewing it. Anyhow, that's my two cents, and I hope it provided some food for thought for people. Miyagawa ( talk) 23:09, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
Per the unofficial tool, this year we made almost 500 GAR/PR and 500 DYKs. Great job and that's the spirit of WikiCup..- The Herald (Benison) • the joy of the LORD my strength 17:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Just wanted to remind everyone that we're getting close to the end of the round. Please get all articles added to your submission pages either midnight (server time) on the day of the final day - or let us know if you're going to be delayed for some reason. As always, if you miss posting an article/picture then you can't claim it for the following round - although any articles/pictures promoted/reviews completed etc between the rounds can be claimed at the start of the next round.
I'll aim to get the points calculated in the evening of the 29th (BST) and then I'll get the next round set up the following evening so that you can start once again on the 1st. Miyagawa ( talk) 13:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Having just tried to submit a good topic on my submissions page I think the template may need tweaking. It currently shows:
===GT: 3 points per article in topic=== <!-- # [[TOPIC]] [[Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/TOPIC]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 1]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 2]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 3]] -->
I think this should be:
===GT: 3 points per article in topic=== <!-- # [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/TOPIC|TOPIC]] [[Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/TOPIC/ARCHIVEnumber]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 1]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 2]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 3]] -->
Or something similar.— Rod talk 07:59, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Bonus points should be pro-rated, because someone who brings an article in 20 languages to GA then FA will get 460 total points, but someone who brings an article in 19 languages to the same standard will only get 230 total points. RO (talk) 23:29, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

I would like to withdraw. I wasn't able to begin with good start that drags towards good chase. Maybe, next year. Good luck guys! -- Antan O 04:05, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
We are developing a MediaWiki extension that will enable users to subscribe to community newsletters much more easily. We are very excited to hear your feedback on the features we have planned. Feel free to share your thoughts here. - Tinaj1234 ( talk) 12:38, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
I'd like to extend my thanks to the organizers for putting on this competition! As a first time participant, I really learned quite a bit more about WP and the inner workings. I've seen some amazing work done here, and I look forward to participating again next year! 1bandsaw ( talk) 17:19, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Just wanted to remind everyone that we're getting close to the end of the round. Please get all articles added to your submission pages either midnight (server time) on the day of the final day - or let us know if you're going to be delayed for some reason. As always, if you miss posting an article/picture then you can't claim it for the following round - although any articles/pictures promoted/reviews completed etc between the rounds can be claimed at the start of the next round.
I'll aim to get the points calculated in the evening of the 29th (BST) and then I'll get the next round set up the following evening so that you can start once again on the 1st. Miyagawa ( talk) 13:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Having just tried to submit a good topic on my submissions page I think the template may need tweaking. It currently shows:
===GT: 3 points per article in topic=== <!-- # [[TOPIC]] [[Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/TOPIC]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 1]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 2]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 3]] -->
I think this should be:
===GT: 3 points per article in topic=== <!-- # [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/TOPIC|TOPIC]] [[Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/TOPIC/ARCHIVEnumber]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 1]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 2]] --> <!-- ## [[ARTICLE 3]] -->
Or something similar.— Rod talk 07:59, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Bonus points should be pro-rated, because someone who brings an article in 20 languages to GA then FA will get 460 total points, but someone who brings an article in 19 languages to the same standard will only get 230 total points. RO (talk) 23:29, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
