Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name ''']'''. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised ].


Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2013): "This article chronicles a failed presidential campaign of a colorful Congressman, which ends with the Congressman writing a TV pilot to "get over" the failure, and then having to resign his Congressional seat amid a fraud investigation." --] (]) 16:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on ]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on ] and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! {{user|Figureskatingfan}}, {{user|Miyagawa}} and {{user|Sturmvogel 66}}

It is clear you don't like the circular style. But many have expressed their favor of it. Additionally, official portraits are ''preferred'' in articles, and you removed them, replacing them with less-than-perfect alternatives. For example, Graham isn't looking at the camera, Walker has something on his lips, Gilmore and Cruz are mid-speech, the Bush image isn't a natural complexion. Old Christie image was straight and head-on, yours is from below. '''] ]''' 14:10, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
