The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

This bio (of an early director of the Guggenheim) is sadly deficient. It used to have more content, but that was apparently thought to have copyright issues and was deleted. In any case, a quick google search shows that there are plenty of sources out there, but I'm slammed right now and can't get to it myself. If you do add anything, I'll be happy to review. No worries if you're not able or not interested. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Epic, If you have some time in the next couple of months I was wondering if you could take a look at Wikipedia:Peer review/Third Onondaga County courthouse/archive1. I've not written on buildings before, so it would be nice to hear from someone who has. No rush, and of course no worries if not. Eddie891 Talk Work 18:07, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Epicgenius, hope you are well. Can you please explain the font size scheme with subsection headers? In some cases, the sub-sub-sections seem to have a larger font size than their parent subsections, e.g., when further subsectioning ===bbb=== into ====CCCC==== ?

The "not news" reason for deleting my section in the Hillcrest High School Wiki has no precedent when viewing Wikipedia pages for other schools. For instance in the "Dwight-Englewood School" Wikipedia page an entire section was devoted to an event that was political in nature and other schools also have sections devoted to political controversies.
