Hello, and welcome to the [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|2012 WikiCup]]! The competition officially began at the start of 2012 (UTC), and so you are free to claim any content from after that time. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2012/Submissions/{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}|here]]''', and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring]]. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may ''only'' claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, ''in 2012''. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 ''are not'' eligible for points.
This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send|our newsletter list]]; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list. Please direct any questions towards the judges, or on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck!
