Hey TappyTurtle, I noticed that you removed yourself from the sign-up page earlier. Do you intend to withdraw from the contest? TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I meant to participate but things happened IRL and I took a break most of the month, so with little time left I've just decided to withdraw. I didn't know if there was a proper way to withdraw so I just removed my name. TappyTurtle [talk | contribs] 17:54, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
No worries; I've gone ahead and processed your withdrawal, but I want to note that you've got some time left until the end of the contest on September 30. If you're still intent on withdrawing, please let me know if you'd like to unsubscribe from talk page messages about the contest. Good luck with whatever you're dealing with off-wiki!

Oh- wow, I completely forgot that it runs through September. Thanks, you can re-enter me. TappyTurtle [talk | contribs] 00:36, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's what I figured! :) No worries; you're back in, and I look forward to seeing what you have to submit. Let me know if you have any other questions. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:39, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

DCWC closing update

edit

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points,     Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions;     BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months,     Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three,   BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)!   Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.
