Gopalakrishnan Ganesan is the new global WikiMaster 2018

In our WOK Community, we have had an outstanding WikiMaster for a long time: Dr. Rangaprasad Bhat. Now after many long and hard efforts to surpass him; an effort we thought would be impossible, Mr. Gopalakrishnan Ganesan from Tamil Land in India has reached the Nr 1 spot in the Leatherboard to become the new WikiMaster in WOK. Congratulations! 

Many wokers get addicted to WikiMaster and reach high in the Scoreboard. We at WOK appreciate all efforts done. Wokbits earned by playing, creating, and editing. The more efforts done by all, the better WikiMaster becomes every day enhancing not only our WOK system but Wikipedia at large adding MCQs to the articles. If Wikipedia would be "black coffee", we consider WikiMaster to be "Milk Added" as being a Cafe Latte, Cappucino, and Macchiato version of Wikipedia with a twist. All Community member's efforts, (the wokers) count. But some show up more in the challenges than others thanks to the amount they play so we are sure you heard about these wokers.
For almost 2 years, we have Rangaprasad Bhat as the WikiMaster in WOK and he awarded as a WOKer of the year 2016

On August 31, 2018, wokers could see a new WOKer Mr. Gopalakrishnan Ganesan who passed Dr. Rangaprasad and became the new WikiMaster in WOK! 
With Over 336000 (!) questions answered and over 18 million WOKbits earned! Both these gentlemen have reached a level we did not believe would be possible. Kudos to our former WikiMaster and the new Current WikiMaster of the World!
