WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter

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 here. 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 here.

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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. 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 Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi. I think you made a typo in your last sentence. "TL;DR - If there are enough sources to fit method two, use method two." I'm mentioning it here rather than on the talk page just to keep the talk as tidy as possible. Cheers. Reissgo (talk) 01:56, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Where's the typo? theonesean 13:16, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
In my brain! I (mis)read it as "If there aren't enough sources to fit method two, use method two."... Doh! Sorry. Reissgo (talk) 13:32, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks anyway - I'm super paranoid about typos, and spent an embarrassingly long amount of time staring at that looking for errors. theonesean 13:47, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Adjusting pilot start date - WP:Co-op

Hello Theonesean,

I'll be putting out a formal update sometime soon, but I wanted to inform you that I've decided to push our start date back to mid-February rather than in January. There are number of reasons for this, but the biggest factor is that we are now facing the hard work of implementing our designs on the Mediawiki interface. It's a limiting environment to work with from a web-building perspective, and the team that worked on the Teahouse can offer similar testimonials to these challenges. We also want to make sure there is time for us and for you to test the environment out, ask questions at our project's talk page, and give us a little time to make any last changes before we start inviting editors to the space. If some of you know you will be unavailable during this time, it's totally fine if you need to bow out for the pilot. But we do need all the mentors we can get, so even if you can take the time to mentor just one or two editors, that would be fantastic.
Thanks a bunch, I, JethroBT drop me a line on behalf of Wikipedia:Co-op.
