== Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup! ==

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found ''']'''. If you have not yet signed up, you can ''']''' and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the ].
Hi MarshalN20, the Arbitration Committee has proposed a ''']''' in response to the ] you submitted. For the Arbitration Committee, ''']''' (] • ] • ]) 07:24, 8 August 2013 (UTC)


For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented ] to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive ] at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.
: Hi Marshal. I have looked back at the motion above, and I see my colleagues have voted to allow your request. I do believe that is probably a mistake, for the reasons I set out when I voted. However, in answer to your suggestion that I have been unfair to you in the original case and again in this amendment request, I thought I'd write to you to say I have not intentionally acted against you, and I am very sorry you feel as though I have. Like most arbitrators, I actually try to act dispassionately; I don't generally see contributors who are brought to arbitration as actors in a dispute but as contributors with a body of edits that need to be scrutinised. While I may have concluded I don't approve of your edits, it was because I genuinely thought you were doing something wrong. And now that your amendment request has been allowed, I do genuinely hope you contribute successfully and productively to the Falklands article. I don't bear any ill-will towards you, and never have – I hope you accept that. With every best wish, ] ]] 14:23, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey MarshalN20, I just saw that your FAC was archived for lack of consensus. I know the feeling, my first FAC with F.C. Porto's article was the same thing. I waited a month before trying again, and that helped. This time of the year is not the best for FAC as many users are taking their summer vacations. But be assured that when you resubmit your article for FAC you have my support again. Cheers! ] (]) 15:02, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

I would have liked Ian to re-list it and wait for some more reviews, but he followed procedure and that's fine with me too. I will follow your advice and re-nominate the article in a month.

::Yes, I got your 'thanks'. ;) Do that, leave it be for a while, and try again later this month. Don't be shy to ask reviewers to make a decision once you've addressed their comments. I know I did and it worked; I got the minimum consensus for promotion by doing that. As for the article, I do believe it's a standout model for such type of articles.

Hi. I've been following the editing and discussion, looks broadly ok to me so far. I think you should avoid using potentially loaded language (such as your use of the word "colonised"). I think it's also best if you bind yourself to a 1RR restriction and to the ] cycle. I don't want you to be edit warring on this article, not even once.

Misplaced Pages is first and foremost an encyclopedia that disseminates free knowledge to the public. Misplaced Pages is also a collaborative project where individuals volunteer their time to improve the encyclopedia, specifically its content and operation. Naturally, in settings where humans interact, disputes will arise and mistakes will be made along the way. In this carnivalesque atmosphere, it is up to each individual to best enjoy their time without infringing on anybody else's enjoyment of the encyclopedia. Be open to criticism (good or bad), maintain respect, always, and know when to seek assistance. If somewhere along the way you make a mistake, as we all do, remember to learn from past errors, become a better person at present, and move on to an even greater future—love yourself, be courteous, laugh a little. Yours truly, MarshalN20.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here.

Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).
