Yiheng Wang 2x2 Average Ruling

https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/incidents/98

The WCA has ruled that Yiheng Wang’s recent 2x2 average does not stand due to him not requesting an extra attempt until after he finished the relevant solve and got a time. (Judge lifted cover early) 2600:1014:B1EE:336A:3495:96BF:50AE:C17F (talk) 20:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

ZZ incorrectly listed as "out of favour"

The current article states (without sources) that the ZZ method is "unfavourable" and "sub-optimal," however, the ZZ method is not only being actively used, it has been developed beyond EOline, and now uses EOCross -> ZZF2L -> ZBLL. Who decided it was abandoned? Why are there no citations? Why describe an old version of ZZ? Vfluorine (talk) 05:40, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

"3x3" v. "3x3x3"

For consistency we probably should choose either to use 3x3 or to use 3x3x3 and replace the other. Do folks think "3x3x3" or "3x3" is better? I'm leaning towards "3x3x3" since it appears to be the term used by the WCA (and is used 3 more times than "3x3" in the article at the moment) but it is slightly clunkier imo so I don't know for sure.

Explanation for revert

Oops, my latest revert was completed without a full Edit Summary. Here is what I was going to say: "Since the sentence is 'the most prominent puzzle in this category [...]', I think it would be more coherent for the answer the 'common' Rubik's Cube, i.e. the 3x3x3 one. The generic cube puzzle is also okay, though the former meaning is much more common than the latter. (And since the article's title is literally 'speedcubing', putting 'cube' in there doesn't really answer anything, at least with the sentence structure here.)"
