And so ends the fourth edition of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|monthly rolling contest]], as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw {{noping|simongraham}} win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. {{noping|Quetzal1964}} was second with 74 points from 37 articles. The annual contest was a close race between simongraham and Quetzal1964; simongraham won first place with 256 points from 64 articles, and Quetzal1964 was second with 250 points from 146 articles. {{noping|Snoteleks}} was third with 79 points from 33 articles. Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year. Additionally, a very Happy New Year to everyone in the project and here's looking forward to continuing our good work in 2024! |
