The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

• TropicalAnalystwx13 (submissions) were the first people to score, for the good article Tropical Storm Bret (1981)
  and its good article review respectively. 12george1 was also the first person to score in 2012 and 2013.
• 2014 North American polar vortex
  .
• WonderBoy1998 (submissions) scored points for an early good topic, finishing off Wikipedia:Featured topics/She Wolf.
• TheAustinMan (submissions) scored the first bonus points of the competition, for his work on Typhoon Vera.
• Igordebraga (submissions) has scored the highest number of bonus points for a single article, for the high-importance Jurassic Park (film).

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

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

Do you think that adding an "Awards" section to catalog his accolades would be helpful? Sexton recently also won the Michael P. Smith Award for Documentary Photography (http://www.leh.org/html/humawards.html).

Thanks, Lianna

Your closure at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Shishaldin notes "The result was speedy delete under A7", however, I believe the actual result was a redirect.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:48, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi - I have been undoing edits from a page that has been receiving unverified, inaccurate and (probably) malicious edits:

I have attempted to engage with editor FilOfTheFuture90 on his/her Talk page and have had no return engagement. He/she has had a complaint of sockpuppetry on this topic refuted and closed by another Wikipedia moderator.

The edits being made to the page by the the editor above are, in my opinion, intended to be embarrassing and damaging. They are inaccurate, and unverified and contain factual and typographical errors.

I would welcome your advice on the best course of action.

Many thanks
