WikiCup 2015 March newsletter

One of several of Godot13's quality submissions during round 1

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader Australia Freikorp (submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

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. Good luck!

Geonotice map

Do you know why the Google Map link at the end of lead section (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=https://tools.wmflabs.org/para/geo/geonotices) isn't working anymore? OhanaUnitedTalk page 19:22, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

No idea, I'm afraid. The KML file does seem to be generating okay. Andrew Gray (talk) 19:30, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
I think I know why. Google dropped KML support in classic Google Map view and in the process broke the tool. OhanaUnitedTalk page 13:34, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
