2014-2015 GA Cup Wrap-Up
--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:17, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter
That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge,  led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:
 * took Bumblebee, a level-4 vital article, to Good Article;
 * worked-up the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article, also to Good Article status;
 * developed an extremely timely article to Good Article, taking Magna Carta there some 800 years after it was first sealed;
 * And last but not least, worked up a number of Featured Pictures during round 1, including the 1948 one Deutsche Mark (pictured right), receiving the maximum bonus due to the number of Wikis that the related article appears in.

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Formatting error on Internet wiki.
Not sure if there are any formalities that I should follow, but I think there is a formatting error on the Internet wiki. Under the "Social impact" section, the text suddenly goes small (probably because it's still formatted as the source text).

 * I fixed it. Thank you so much for notifying me about it.-- Chamith  (talk)  05:40, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

San Francisco
I changed the name "United Mexican States" to "Mexico" which is 100% correct and factual. In the same box, it does not say "United States of America" instead it says "United States" which is the common and a legitimate name for the USA as "Mexico" is for "united mexican states". Mexico is the name of the country's official wikipedia page and is a LEGITIMATE name for "The united mexican states" so i suggest you leave it as "mexico" or i will contact wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.141.79.6 (talk) 18:34, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry what? Contact Wikipedia? Good luck with that. I suggest you to read WP:PLACE first. And please note that the article Mexico states United Mexican States as the official name (check out the infobox). In the give guideline it says The contents (this applies to all articles using the name in question): The same name as in the title should be used consistently throughout the article. Now go ahead and contact Wikipedia. Cheers!-- Chamith  (talk)  18:39, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
