	In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4\|Cwmhiraeth}} currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4\|Sasata}}, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4\|Hawkeye7}}—who has never participated in the competition before—and {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4\|Casliber}} follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include ] (FA by Casliber), ] (GA by Hawkeye7), ], and ] (both GAs by Sasata).

	In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate '''per review'''. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00.<br/>

	At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge.</br>

	Hello, Sjones23. Since, judging by , you have some experience with Picker78, would you mind commenting on this latest sockpuppet investigation concerning him? I'm certain that he has returned as a new incarnation, but, at this point, it looks like he'll likely get away with his latest sockpuppeting. I'm not sure who else to ask to weigh in on this since the others who regularly dealt with him are now inactive or are generally inactive on Misplaced Pages, except for ]. But since Nigelj has avoided this latest matter, I can only assume that he either doesn't want to weigh in on this and/or thinks he has nothing to offer to the investigation. And then there is ] and others, who have only briefly interacted with Picker78. NeilN has...if judging by (note that like I stated in the latest Picker78 sockpuppet investigation, I'm certain that Picker78 is involved in that discussion by way of IP editing, not jut as Promiscuous man). ] (]) 15:10, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
