Thank you, - the perfect match for TFA A Very Trainor Christmas, "about Meghan Trainor's only Christmas album. I know it's not September yet, but this album does have a really nice Earth, Wind & Fire collaboration on it. Also, this one has nothing to do with TikTok, thankfully... which is kind of refreshing!" - I have a Bach cantata on the same page, for the same reason ;) - Enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:50, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the wishes, Gerda!! A TFA is definitely, um, my kind of present.--NØ 08:56, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

The perfect gift! - This year is the first I remember without a Christmas DYK, but OTD is fine, - an underestimated corner of the Main page. My Christmas DYK will come tomorrow, - we have two days in Germany, and at Bach's time, they had three, and he composed a cantata for all! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:05, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Gog the Mild, can I have this for March 8, which is International Women's Day instead? I see you currently don't have a Valentine's Day one, so you could optionally use My Little Love for February 14 and move this to the 7th.--NØ 17:06, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

(edit conflict) ::You can withdraw it from February and nominate it for 8 March when that is possible, which should be soon. You want me to unplug it from Feb? Gog the Mild (talk) 17:26, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

You are just trying to build up your stash of TFAs aren't you? Write me a blurb for MLL and I'll do what you suggest. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:32, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Here it is, lol. I think it would be appropriate, but I trust your judgement if you feel otherwise.--NØ 17:41, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

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. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here 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 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). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
