During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.

- Kavyansh.Singh wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
- Adam Cuerden wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.
- Z1720 wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.

- Sammi Brie wins the Did you know prize, for 30 DYKs in round 3 and 106 overall.

Skyrush GA review
In case you missed the ping, I have brought up issues with your GA review of Skyrush at Template:Did you know nominations/Skyrush. While these problems are in the process of being resolved (and may actually be resolved by the time you see this message), they are concerning nonetheless. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:59, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- I'm confused. These seem significantly outside of the bounds of a DYK review - and if you think the GA review was poor, WP:GAR is the location. Most of the issues seem fair, such as not sourcing items as they only appear in the lede - but we shouldn't be sourcing that an item DIDN'T win an award. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:17, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- Epicgenius has sourced that it didn't win an award, which was the proper thing to do. DYK criterion 4 states:
"Within policy – Articles for DYK must conform to the core policies of Verifiability"
. It was my responsibility to make sure that the article followed that. I'm taking up this issue of your GA review here instead of GAR because:- Alternative #3 to GAR is notifying major contributors and GAR should be a last resort, not a first resort
- GAR would only deal with the surface-level issue of an article not meeting the GA criteria – it does not deal with the fundamental issue of a user's reviews
- Evidently something has gone wrong when a DYK review is far more thorough than a GA review, and it's better to discuss that with the reviewer so that it does not occur again
- Frankly, your response has worried me further. The crux of the issues with that article was that there seemed to be no/few checks being made that the material was being supported by the sources cited – it wasn't a simple case of
"not sourcing items as they only appear in the lede"
. Given that the review seemed to concentrate on prose issues, I can't believe that this has to be said, but do you make verifiability checks for GA reviews? And did you do so in this instance? Sdrqaz (talk) 18:14, 11 November 2022 (UTC)- Hi. I'm still a bit bemused why we would require someone to source something that didn't happen. I do indeed do spot checks during a GA review, but generally only mention them when something pops up, same as I do for copyright. It's worth noting that checking every source to see if it completely covers what the text says is not part of the GA (or FA for that matter) criteria. I am glad you have found additional things that can and have been addressed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:44, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
