Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Just noticed ChiefPigger might possibly be a sockpuppet of the now blocked user ThePigBandit since their edits are quite similar to one another, both insert unacceptable images into articles such as the White House Press Secretary and both write unacceptable comments on their talk page violating Wikipedia's neutral policy. Suggest immediate actions if possible. Galaxybeing (talk) 06:06, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Galaxybeing That's what I suspected; it's in my report to WP:AIV. Looks like @Weirdguyz also opened Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ThePigBandit at a similar time. At this point our best bet is probably just to WP:DENY, but thanks for the work y'all have been doing; keep it up! Staraction (talk | contribs) 06:11, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great minds think alike :) Weirdguyz (talk) 06:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
