WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Trophy.png)
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!

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Jerry Messing tipping his fedora.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thank you for uploading File:Jerry Messing tipping his fedora.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tutelary (talk) 20:56, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

16:52:20, 20 January 2015 review of submission by Hurley Palmer Flatt Ltd
To whom it may concern,
I would like to enquire about our declined article.
From my understanding you have asked for sources to be cited on this piece.
What sources would you suggest we use for a company such as ours and what information from the piece would you like cited?
We do not intend to use Wikipedia as a marketing tool but rather as a platform for our information to reside.
Everything provided is factually correct and we welcome any further feedback or advise in order to improve on the present article for re-submission.
Regards,
Dominique at Hurley Palmer Flatt
