WikiCup 2010 October newsletter
The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is 
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to 
TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to 
Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – 
White Shadows (submissions), 
William S. Saturn (submissions), 
Staxringold (submissions) and 
ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to 
Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.
Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is 
Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is 
Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.
The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Hi Tinu!
I just found out you'd become an admin. I last remember your page saying you'd like to be one, over two years ago! Being so inactive on wp makes me feel old. Congrats again! Amog | Talk • contribs 12:29, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

who has to be blamed?
Ten years back when I was a Permanent resident in khunti. It was one of the most peaceful places to live. Last year I went to khunti during my summer vacations, the bus was stopped in between and I had to walk back to my home with my Luggage. The reason behind this was the arrest of a criminal. Our khunti police after putting lot of effort arrested this wanted criminal but people came protesting against that as if he was the Robin Hood. All the streets were blocked and no one was allowed to move. The protestors were protesting because that criminal was getting married in 10 days. Where are we heading towards? Do we have any rights to blame the administration for the problem we are facing? Don’t we have any responsibility towards our next generation? What will we answer our next generation when they ask us the big question that who has to be blamed for this? Cribbing about the administration is very easy all of us has got a basic right to do that, but only when we perform our duty.
