This is the kind of thread I like... ;)
I've put myself in the Wikicup, so many of my edits are with the
competition in mind. I have a FA ([[Heart of a Woman]], Maya Angelou's
fourth autobiography) that just passed, and I have four others languishing
at GAC. I also have an Angelou featured topic that's getting close to
passing. I've been reviewing a lot of GAs these days; for some reason, a
lot of basketball articles, a subject I know very little about. (That's
the fun of reviewing articles--you get exposed to all kinds of new and
different topics.) Fortunately, the article I'm currently reviewing for
GAC has gender-gap connections, [[Australia women's national wheelchair
basketball team at the 2012 Summer Paralympics]]. I recently reviewed
[[Cobi Crispin]], one of the major players for the Aussie team. These
girls are very impressive.
The Wikicup has really tapped into my competitive streak. We're currently
two weeks into the third round. I easily passed the first, and stayed at
about hafl-way through the pack during the second, although I was second in
my pool, behind an editor who came in third last year. Right now, my
scores are low, but once my FA goes through, I'll be in contention. Very
fun!
