Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 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 a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, 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 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer 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.

I wanted to know if it was the name of the car or branding that needed to be sited? - "Glow" Glows Sirens (talk) 19:17, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Glows Sirens: The sub-model name would need to be explicitly stated. As far as I can tell, Sound Transit does not consider them to be separate and doesn't list them as such. SounderBruce 19:19, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ah sound does not consider the older Cab cars and newer CEM cab cars as different? Odd, thanks for clarifying for me, have a good day. Glows Sirens (talk) 19:30, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @SounderBruce! I wrote you a message on your talk page a few months ago about collaborating on United States congressional delegations from Washington; we were both pretty busy, but I was wondering if you'd want to (slowly, maybe) start to work on it together! Pinging @Peaceray since he expressed interest in the idea as well.

Another fun thing we could do with the list is to double nominate it for DYK as a 5x expansion, together with another draft I'm working on, User:Staraction/The Chick; it's about a painting the members of the Washington delegation give to their most junior member, as a tradition. If you'd be interested, we could work on the list in a sandbox, then push the changes to both articles simultaneously. Let me know! Best, Staraction (talk · contribs) 21:31, 12 January 2026 (UTC) (please ping on reply)[reply]

@Staraction: A double nomination sounds excellent. I will be able to start working on the congressional delegations list once I wrap up work on my current major project (Washington State Ferries). SounderBruce 05:35, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

On 15 January 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Federal Way Downtown station, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a rejected sculpture at Federal Way Downtown station would have had a circus elephant balancing on a tree trunk?

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Federal Way Downtown station), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
