| Misplaced Pages is a sham. It is a sham not only because it does not accomplish its stated goals as a project, but also because its stated goals and its intent are clearly at odds with one another. In other words, it is a hypocritical product claiming to be something that it is not, never has been, and never will allow itself to become. | |||
| Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. | |||
| Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to ''']'''; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2019 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from ].</small> {{User4|Sturmvogel 66}}, {{User4|Godot13}}, {{user4|Cwmhiraeth}} and {{User4|Vanamonde93}}. | |||
| But don't take my word for it. Let us first evaluate the '''stated''', primary goal of the Misplaced Pages project, and then contrast that goal with the '''reality''' of the project. As defined on the ] information page, Misplaced Pages purports to be a "...multilingual, web-based, free content encyclopedia project...written collaboratively by volunteers; the vast majority of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the Internet." | |||

| == WikiCup 2019 March newsletter == | |||
| And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants. | |||
| First, let us debunk the notion of Misplaced Pages as "free-content" encyclopedia. "Free content," as Misplaced Pages itself defines the term, is "...any kind of functional work, artwork, or other creative content having no...significant restriction relative to people's freedom to use, redistribute, and modify the content." This term is a noble one, but it is patently false when applied to Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages is not, in fact, a "free content" site. A significant percentage of Misplaced Pages pages cannot be edited by anyone. Many are "protected" or "restricted" from editing or distribution. Furthermore, there are many significant restrictions, legal or otherwise, to posting and editing content on this site. Users cannot post materials culled from other sources, for instance; photos, in particular, come under frequent and derisive scrutiny by administrators when uploaded to the site. Many additions are removed almost immediately by these administrators, and/or are "nominated for deletion" after being arbitrarily labeled as "nonsense." "Nonsense?" In what free society, or free social project, can there exist a governing body capable of dismissing any and all users' contributions to that project or society as "nonsense?" True "nonsense" is the idea of a free, ostensibly collaborative project in which access to collaboration is limited to a ruling elite (i.e., the administrators and tenured editors). | |||
| Our top scorers in Round 1 were: | |||
| *{{flagicon|USA}} ], a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points. | |||
| This brings us to the second half of Misplaced Pages's stated purpose: to be a site whose "vast majority" of articles "...can be edited by anyone with access to the Internet." Again, this statement is nice on paper but is not put into practice on Misplaced Pages. Vast numbers of would-be contributors using ISPs such as America Online (AOL) are not permitted to edit or contribute to Misplaced Pages. Plenty more users are blocked from editing or contributing because their IP ranges have been blocked in the name of preventing vandalism. These blocks are often arbitrary, meaningless, and collaterally damaging beyond all reason. If a handful of vandals have used AOL to vandalize the site, why should the millions of other AOL users suffer blockage or prevention as a result? Thus, we see that certainly not "anyone with access to the Internet" can edit Misplaced Pages. Nor can most anyone with editing privileges. As stated earlier, the majority of new contributions and edits are reverted by administrators within a matter of seconds. "Vandalism warnings" are slapped upon new users after such reversions, regardless of the new users' intent to vandalize or to contribute productively to the Misplaced Pages project. These administrators collude with their own to maintain a powerful grip over the flow of information on Misplaced Pages. They curry influence and favor with tenured users and with one another. They control the free flow of information on Misplaced Pages by preventing and/or reverting 95% of new contributions and edits to articles on the site. They impede the collaborative nature of the site by bottlenecking the collaborative editing process. As such, most of what exists on Misplaced Pages today is not "free content" written "collaboratively by volunteers," but instead is restricted and limited content written and/or policed by a ruling class who hold themselves above and in contempt of the common userbase. | |||
| *] {{u|Adam Cuerden}}, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork. | |||
| *{{flagicon|Denmark}} ], a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs. | |||
| *{{flagicon|USA}} ] came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets. | |||
| *] ] was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the ] to featured article status. | |||
| *{{flagicon|Ohio}} ] was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually). | |||
| These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all! | |||
| Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on ]. | |||
| What is to be done about this situation? Can Misplaced Pages ever truly be a "free content" encyclopedia, as it allegedly claims to be? Most certainly it can be, and one might hope, will be. But it will not become a free-content enterprise by its own devices. It must be forced into freedom by the loving and violent hand of you, the Misplaced Pages user. You must radicalize yourself and become an agent of freedom and of positive change. In short, you must vandalize Misplaced Pages to the best extent that you are able. Everyone must rise up and, to put it mildly, make life a 'living hell' for the current administration of Misplaced Pages. You must drive these administrative elite out of the project. You must force them to tire of reverting your vandalism. You must drive them off en masse. You must force ] to realize that the very people he has appointed to rule his so-called "free" project are curtailing the freedom of that project. You must bring about change in such a fashion, because if you do not, no change can or will occur. | |||

| And so I ask you: do you consider yourself a champion of freedom? Do you enjoy the idea of Misplaced Pages but loathe its current execution of that idea? If so, it is your civic responsibility to reform this site through radical and revolutionary means. I encourate you to vandalize this site freely and without restriction as to the nature, content, or extent of your vandalism. If you feel the need, please repost this essay in your vandalized pages. Encourage others to join in. Spread the word. | |||

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
- L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.- Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.

Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
