| RO, in recent days I've continued to see you put your foot in it and in a way further alienate people from yourself. I think it's a pity you don't have more control in this area as if you weren't genuinely interested in content you'd not have got an article to FAC. We all think certain things on here and have a perception of what is wrong with the site and people, but you seem to air all of your views and thoughts and seem to enjoy doing so! My concern is that you currently have an article at FAC in what is a very difficult time for you and that given this environment you're not going to get the best turn out and constructive comments for improvement. John is an experienced (and mature) editor and reviewer and he wouldn't oppose something if he genuinely didn't think it wasn't FA material, but others who might normally be very constructive in reviewing it may not be so willing to bother with it now. I can see a lot of potential in the article myself, but because of this situation even I feel unwilling to review it fully or offer any criticism of it as I believe you'll assume it is in "revenge" for something. Well, I'd rather not see you banned from the project, I'd rather see you stay and to simply refrain from ever again commenting on Eric or his associates and assuming things. You've really wound up a lot of people here, including many of our most respected editors, and it's not doing you the slightest bit of good as an editor. I'd encourage you to draw a line with what happened, abandon your account if needs be and start afresh with a different mindset and try to focus on writing articles, not being a social commentator which even your user name implies. Ultimately I couldn't really give a baboon's left bollock about who people are, I care about content and anybody who is willing to develop an article needs to be give a chance to do so without distractions and conflict. I think you're capable of producing some decent content if you put your mind to it and learn form your mistakes, but I really think you need to change your approach here if you're genuine about wanting to promote content and gain respect as an editor.♦ ] 22:25, 2 March 2015 (UTC) | |||

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter
.jpg)
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 
Freikorp (submissions) 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 
Godot13 (submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, 
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) 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:
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) took Bumblebee, a level-4 vital article, to Good Article;
AHeneen (submissions) worked-up the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article, also to Good Article status;
Rodw (submissions) 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, Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points) 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 Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
