If you spot content on this site that is genuinely illegal or actually puts someone in real danger, contact [email protected]. We have multiple agents reviewing tickets 24/7. Note that we try to maintain as much transparency as possible, both about ourselves and of the actions of Wikipedians. For example, if we removed a live link to CSAM content that was posted by a Wikipedia admin, we would replace it a placeholder like "<link to CSAM that was posted by Demiurge1000 redacted by Undersight>". Note that "I don't like it" is NOT a valid removal reason. If instead you are a Wikipedophile trying to get all the dark secrets of Wikipedia censored, please follow this guide instead.

Round one is over, and round two has begun! Congratulations to the 64 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our first round. A special well done goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, our round one winner (1010 points), and to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}}, who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70). {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Staxringold}} claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points), {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Geschichte}} claimed the most for ''Did you know?'' entries (490 points), {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Jujutacular}} claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Candlewicke}} claimed the most for ''In the news'' entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.
Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. As ever, questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC.

Good Lord. I barely made it and I will not pass. I have major outside work and am unofficial on a wikibreak until them. Well, not really, because I always manage to find time to improve something or comment at ITN or check an FPC, but my Internet time is rather limited due to outside occurrances. Perhaps a female (*wink*). And I'm going on a 2-week vacation in about 2 weeks, so I wish you the best of luck, and if you need assistance on a GA/ITN/other article, I'll be glad to help out.

== Paddy's Day DYK ==
Yes it's that time of year again. When 20-odd government ministers waste my money flying goodness knows where (including Cowen going to the White House <small>This year he declared he was going there even before he was invited</small>), when the Americans search for Leprechauns, and everyone else gets drunk. I was wondering do you have any ideas for the St. Patrick's Day DYK? —<small> <span style="border:2px solid #000;padding:1px;"> [[User:Cargoking|<font style="color:#000080;">'''Cargoking'''</font>]] [[User talk:Cargoking|<font style="color:#f9f9f9;background:#000000;"> talk </font>]]</span></small> 23:05, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
:Absolutely none. Otherwise I'd have begun them now. I did far too many last year. I added the section to DYK to encourage others but last time I checked there was nothing... :-(
:I have some ideas I kept from last year but they're very large . What about [[Saint Patrick's Day in Ireland]] like [[Christmas in Ireland]]? And other countries too if anyone knows anything about that. Last year's episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' led me to think of [[The Simpsons in Ireland]] (this has been done with the controversial [[EastEnders episodes in Ireland]]). I thought of these when it was too late last year but it depends how many sources actually cover them. If several people could work on them it might be possible... [http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0303/1224265502564.html this] caught my eye too but I don't know if it is possible... --<font face="serif">[[User: Candlewicke|<span style="color:red">can</span>]][[User:Candlewicke/List of signatories|<span style="color:black">dle</span>]][[WP:ITN/C|•]][[User talk:Candlewicke|<span style="color:green">wicke</span>]]</font> 23:30, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
::Well just anything Irish in general will suffice I think. I have a [[Brian Jennings (journalist)|journalist's]] article under the St. P Day heading by recommendation from a DYK reviewer. [[:File:Patrick Street Cork2.jpg|This]] is scheduled for POTD on the 17th so really, just a blitz of Irish DYKs would be super. —<small> <span style="border:2px solid #000;padding:1px;"> [[User:Cargoking|<font style="color:#000080;">'''Cargoking'''</font>]] [[User talk:Cargoking|<font style="color:#f9f9f9;background:#000000;"> talk </font>]]</span></small> 10:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey Candlewicke, I saw your sig on GAN and thought I'd give you a review for [[Alphastates]]. I've left some comments on the review page for you. No major issues, so I should be able to pass it once those are sorted.
