Wikipedia:Bacon WikiCup
The Bacon WikiCup is a bacon-themed variation of the regular Wikipedia WikiCup. It was created by 2009 Wikipedian Sky Attacker (known at the time as The Legendary Sky Attacker) as a component of an annual "Bacon Challenge" amongst several Wikipedians to add bacon-related content to Wikipedia. The Bacon WikiCup traditionally ends on the first day of March, National Pig Day. For Bacon Wikicup records see List of Wikicup records.
2010 season[edit]
The first season of the Bacon WikiCup was contested from December 2009 - March 2010. Fourteen participants contributed content. The event was started and co-organized by Sky Attacker in December 2009, and then by SuperHamster for the rest of the event. The overall winner was Spinningspark.
Contributions[edit]
The original season saw the creation of over forty new bacon-related articles, the uploading of more than sixty new bacon-related images, and the significant improvement of many more existing bacon-related articles. Several articles appeared on Wikipedia's main page in the "Did you know...?" section during and after the event's duration and other notable content such as a Wikipedia bacon article template and categories for bacon drinks and books about bacon were also introduced to the encyclopedia.
