	for your editorial. It was a great piece. TParis, Secret, and Dennis Brown's retirements/indefinite WikiBreaks have really gotten to me, and leaves me like "who do I have to look up to anymore?", because they were such civil and hardworking people. TParis's reasons for his retirement has even got me thinking about ], on top of many stressful events on WP this month. I would like to thank you again, these retirements deserved this attention, because when admins like those listed above retire, a part of Misplaced Pages dies. But enough ranting for now.

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.

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.
