I was disappointed to see a focus on doing the absolute bare minimum to write an article that qualifies for points. However, 30 articles is a good tally for one day.
Tris should've shaken people up a little bit - I published his one entry so far, an interview with the PRS. 26 points for a single article.
So far the niggles are: put {{review}} at the top; write more than the minimum; find some pictures and correctly put them in articles per the [[WN:SG]] (or be mocked on twitter).
