Congratulations to Cwmhiraeth, our 2012 WikiCup champion!

On 31 October, the 2012 WikiCup drew to a close, leaving Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), flying the Welsh flag, the final champion. In second place was Sasata (talk · contribs), representing Canada, and in third Grapple X (talk · contribs), of the Gaelic League. The competition has been ongoing for 10 months, with over 100 participants. In that time, competitors (with fewer every round, as lower scorers were eliminated) have been responsible for dozens of featured articles and lists, hundreds of good articles and good article reviews and over 1000 did you knows.
