A few days left...

As we approach the beginning of the wikicup 2025 I wish to bring attention to a few useful tools for the contest.

Wikipedia:Good article review circles You get a review and review another in exchange, a very simple way to get atleast 40 points.
Wikipedia:Former featured and good topics Picking up a topic and restoring it shouldn't take too long depending on what you pick.
Wikipedia:Reward board Provides other incentives to produce quality content

While most May find this redundant I hope atleast one person benefits from any of these. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 11:22, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting these links. I've pinned this section for the duration of the 2025 WikiCup. Epicgenius (talk) 20:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My participation in WikiCup

I'm ready for the third round and I don't care if I'm in it or not. Spectra321578 (talk) 07:08, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you always leave these odd comments? All you've submitted this whole time is a draft that resembles your username. You only have 151 edits in total, most of which is just editing your userspace and leaving strange comments on this talk page. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:01, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just a reminder Spectra321578 (talk) 17:36, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, is there actually a physical trophy?

Just curious. —Mint Keyphase (Did I mess up? What have I done?) 04:44, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly not. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 07:47, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There should be. I'd pay good money for a WikiCup trophy autographed by Jimbo. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:39, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, if someone's willing to pay... Hey WMF you got any money to spare? – Epicgenius (talk) 01:37, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trophies aren't exactly expensive. Custom trophies on Amazon start around $20, with the fancier stuff coming in at the $75-150 range. The real challenge would be shipping to a winner who may not wish to give away their address. It could be a cute thing to at least offer a winner, though. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 10:15, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In theory yeah, it would be nice to have. If people want an actual trophy, maybe someone might want to offer something at the Wikipedia:Reward board. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:02, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If someday a miracle happens and I was to win, I might just get one of these for myself *shrug* Kingsif (talk) 00:30, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Someone look into it and give me a quote. Panini! • 🥪 03:36, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So where did that photo come from? —Mint Keyphase (Did I mess up? What have I done?) 09:39, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At least $100,000 and no less.

Withdrawal

Given my recent lack of activity on Wikipedia during the start of summer, I'm withdrawing for the year. I'll try to compete again next year. Lazman321 (talk) 06:50, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lazman321, I've withdrawn you from the Cup. Thank you for participating. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:59, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Multiplier Bot

The Multiplier Bot broke on me again, Væb's GA should have a 1.8x but didn't get any. History6042😊 (Contact me) 12:30, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It should have a 1.0x multiplier as the page had no interwikis on 31 December. —Kusma (talk) 12:36, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry, I thought it was based on what it was currently. History6042😊 (Contact me) 19:47, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
