Check history before you revert things

All the PPV lists had links the the other lists. They all looked like this

And what do you do when you have multiple pages all linking to the same things? You make a template

What takes up more space: 3 lines of links in a subsection, or a template that has the exact same links in one line?74.47.97.119 (talk) 11:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

The "only common" thread is that everyone is the exact same thing. They are HIGHLY related, which is why every single one of them was interlinked in the first place. The footprint in a fifth the size with the template than it was before. The wikilink page promotes linking to any relevant articles.74.47.97.119 (talk) 12:21, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

RE:

Sure. Let's do Gail Kim first. Nikki♥311 18:30, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

I usually write in subpages, too, for the same reason. Do you have one open or should we use one of mine? Nikki♥311 02:31, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and copied the article to User:Wrestlinglover/Sandbox2. I suggest we work fast, as there is currently a backlog elimination drive going on at WP:GAN, so the sooner we list it the better. Nikki♥311 20:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Using a few references from WWE.com has never been a problem for any of my other GAs. Match results aren't usually controversial, so a primary source isn't an issue. If I did use another website to source the match results, it would be SLAM, but I've already relied on it pretty heavily in the article. I personally don't ever use PW Torch or WrestleView unless I'm desperate. I'd prefer to keep it as is unless the reviewer has a big problem with it. Nikki♥311 04:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm done with my part of Kim's article. How's your work going on your part? Nikki♥311 02:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

No rush. Just let me know when you are ready...or you can go ahead and nominate it when you are done. :) Nikki♥311 03:18, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Wrestlemania III

As your knoweledge of wrestling seems to be quite extensive; amazing, actually, I thought that you might be able to be of help. I posted on the talk page for Wrestlemania III that there was a dark match that took place, and asked if anyone knew what it was. So far, no one has. I realize that, given your age, this was before your time, but given your passion for wrestling, I figured you might know the answer. If you do not, do you have any idea where I might look to check it out? I am 100% certain that there was one, and I really thought that it would have come back to me by now.

WikiCup 2010 April newsletter

Round two is over, and we are down to our final 32. For anyone interested in the final standings (though not arranged by group) this page has been compiled. Congratulations to Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions), our clear overall round winner, and to Colombia ThinkBlue (submissions) and Norway Arsenikk (submissions), who were solidly second and third respectively. There were a good number of high scorers this round- competition was certainly tough! Round three begins tomorrow, but anything promoted after the end of round two is eligible for points. 16 contestants (eight pool leaders and eight wildcards) will progress to round four in two months- things are really starting to get competitive. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Judge iMatthew has retired from Wikipedia, and we wish him the best. The competition has been ticking over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. A special thank you goes to participants Bavaria Stone (submissions) and White Shadows (submissions) for their help in preparing for round three. Good luck everyone!

FIP World Heavyweight Championship

I was just browsing that article and noticed you reverted my additions, then added it back. It was announced on Twitter that Jon Moxley won the FIP World Heavyweight Championship. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 22:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

There is no references for the some of the other stuff on that list. So what's with the double standards? It was announced on Twitter. You don't revert something like that just because one site doesn't have something doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 17:53, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Are you single?

Hey ;-)

Just noticed you replied to one of my posts on the Miz's page (on his new tag team the jiz). I checke dout your profile and you seem pretty cool.

I know this is a weird place to do it but would you maybe like to go out some time? We live pretty close together, going off your profile. Maybe you can show me some wrestling moves.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.135.242.14 (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 May newsletter

We are half way through round 3, with a little under a month to go. The current overall leader is Hungary Sasata (submissions), who has 570 points. He leads pool C. Pools A, B and D are led by Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and White Shadows (submissions) respectively. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible.

Two of last year's final 8, Sweden Theleftorium (submissions) and Iceland Scorpion0422 (submissions), have dropped out of the competition, saying they would rather their place went to someone who will have more time on their hands than them next round. On a related note, a special thank you goes to White Shadows (submissions) for his help behind the scenes once again. There is currently a problem with the poster, perhaps caused by the new skin- take a look at this discussion and see if you can help. The competition has continued to tick over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. Good luck to all!

Hey

Hey Will, how you been? Listen, I'm sorry that I couldn't get the In wrestling section for that one dude, I've been busy with other stuff. If you haven't gotten to it, I wouldn't mind doing it. Listen, I would understand if you don't want to talk to me because of it, but I have a question, is this ---> "formerly the World Wrestling Federation (WWF)" unnecessary to add in a wrestler bio article, particularly the lead? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:05, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Really? Wow, I had no idea, cause I haven't talked to you for a while. Well, if I was in your shoes, and asked a favor and it wasn't dealt with, I would be like 'Forget this person then.' Well, I'm glad you still would talk to me. ;) That's exactly my argument in Edge's article ["I don't see a problem with it if the wrestler was around when it was the WWF or got the most of his fame there."], well sort of. See, this one user removed that from the lead, but I ended up restoring it back, but another user ended up undoing my edit citing it was unnecessary to include, and I got warned for 3RR. I need a second opinion on this matter, cause this is really bugging me. I would bring this up at PW, but they're busy dealing with other stuff, so. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:10, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I remember having this discussion where you said you wouldn't log in everyday, only from time to time... I think. So, then this bit should be re-added to Edge's article, since he debuted with the WWF? Yeah, he became famous with the TLC matches during the WWF. With the WWE, he was already famous. IDK, this is getting on my nerves, am I making a such a big deal out of nothing? I mean, HBK and Christian's articles have this bit on their leads, never been challenged to be removed, I don't see why Edge is an exception, you know. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I guess you're right, accuracy is very important. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:38, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm good, thank God, just prepping myself for the summer, and glad school is over. :) What have you been up to? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:27, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for my late reply, been out of it. That's cool, I hope everything is going good with your girlfriend. :) So, what's happenin' with TNA? Do you still watch it? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:30, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I felt the same the week after Shawn gave his farewell speech; I was like 'What's the point? He's gone and the same storylines are due to happen, so what's the point of watching?', but I'll admit that I do watch it cause I want to see what goes on. IDK, it's not the same, you know. I watched an episode of TNA, but was completely lost as to what was going on; Bischoff was doing "business" with Flair and Hogan got pissed. Yeah, don't you hate it when they have the right story/feud there, but they just don't know what to do with it later on? Flair be the Godfather? That'd be funny. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), Colombia ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) New South Wales Casliber (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Bavaria Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Re: Hey

What's up old friend? Yeah, it's been a while. Well, if you can help me out with Edge's article, in which people are adding he turned face cause he's teaming up with Cena and some other people to take on Nexus at SummerSlam, would be appreciated, cause that's yet to be determined and stuff. I'm the only dealing with this. Dude, it's fine, I mean I gotta apologize for not even starting work on Edge and Christian on one of the sandboxes. I haven't done any wrestling work. Dude, it's fine, we can probably find time and work on Gangrel. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, Fight Club that's a good film. :) Cool, cool, cause I would appreciate your help now. I don't understand why people can't read the hidden notes about not adding week-by-week and future matches. Yeah, hopefully, we get the time and complete it. Yeah, a collaboration with you (again) would be fun. Just don't tell your girlfriend. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:48, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, the only problems I have here are wrestling fans adding week-by-week, speculation on the wrestler's personality (face or heel), future matches, and some other BS. Those fools are the ones that give the "big headaches" and my real damn problem. Oh, she read it? Oops. No disrespect, I don't mean no harm. :P So, do you want to set a timeline, for you know, Gangrel/EC? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:10, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, that's understandable, but I would appreciate your assistance in regards to him "turning" face. The rest I can deal with. Yeah, I get ya on the less problems thing. I've actually had to remove a couple of wrestling articles because either I didn't know if some info. was supposed to be in it or I just gave up due to the constant edit warring. She did? That's good, I made her laugh. One task down, make someone laugh, my job is done. :) Oh, I love that song, it's my favorite song from him. When I play the song, people start dancing to it or singing to it. Well, after I'm done with this one article, I can for sure start doing some work on E&C. Probably I'll start off with the lead. I guess after you're done with Nikki you and I can begin with Gangrel. Oh, a list? What kind of list? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:34, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Cool, cool, and thank you, you have no idea how grateful I am. I still have it. ;) Oh, I always play the song when I'm listening to my Zen. It's such a great pump-up song. I'm listening to "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)". Excellent, then after I conclude my stuff, kinda need a break but at the same time seeking a GT out of it, I'll do my part on E&C. Oh a list, I thought you meant list list, but I get you know. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:55, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
IDK, if this is right. Oh well, I'll just deal with the "backlash" or whatever. I'm just sick of people adding "face" to the damn header, if they only knew they're not suppose to do that. Yeah, our GT mission is an impossible mission. Well, if you want to do your stuff first, I'll understand. If you want assistance, I'll be more than happy to assist. :) I know what you mean about new work and stuff; I've been there. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:40, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Alright, so far no one has a problem with it, but let's just see how it plays out. Yeah, fictional wrestling terms, I too was the same, but now I've changed as you can see. Alright, after I get done with what I'm working on, I'll start on my part of this project. :) I hope I'm not like rushing you or whatever, cause that's not what I'm saying. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:20, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I've been good, keeping busy you know. I have not actually worked on any lists for a while, I got fed up with the whole process there for a while and I have not had a go at making a FL recently.

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Hungary Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (Hungary Sasata (submissions), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by New South Wales Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Finland Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

BFG '10

Hey,

Tickets permitting (I doubt they'll sell out first day) I'll be heading to Bound For Glory in Daytona this October. I'll be bringing a camera with me and try to snap lots of pictures. Can't be sure what seats I'll get, but hopefully I'll come back with some decent stuff that you can incorporate into some TNA articles. Hazardous Matt (talk) 19:17, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure I'll be able to get backstage or anything, but I'll snap shots of what crew members I can. I'll try to get a good shot of the set, too. I might aim for seats that are in line with the entrance. Hazardous Matt (talk) 13:09, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Just got the tickets. Looks like I'll be a few rows back Camera-Right. I should be able to get some good in-ring shots during the event, and I'll get whatever I can of the set and crew. October can't come soon enough. I haven't been to a live show that wasn't the Impact Zone in 15 years. Hazardous Matt (talk) 14:23, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to make a list of some of the shots you wanted. When you said crew, did you just mean referees, or things like sound and camera guys? So far I'm going to try for an exterior of the Arena, a good shot of the set, a wide-shot of the interior of the arena, and random shots of the athletes.

Re:

Yes, I have. I was going to reply to the last message you sent me, but I saw your note so I figure what's the point of replying if you have limited internet access. Alright, cool, and I'll do my part with E&C. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:16, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Republic of Ireland Candlewicke (submissions) was awarded top points for in the news this round. Toronto Gary King (submissions) contributed a variety of did you know articles. Finland Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions) said "I'm surprised to have survived so far into the competition", but was extactic to see Finland in the semi-finals. Norway Arsenikk (submissions) did not score this round, but has scored highly in previous rounds. We also say goodbye to Ian Rose (submissions), who withdrew earlier this month after spending six weeks overseas. Anyone interested in this round's results can see them here and here.

Discussion about how next year's scoring will work is ongoing, and thoughts are more than welcome at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring. Also, TonyTheTiger is compiling some information and statistics on the finalists here- the final eight are encouraged to add themselves to the list.

Our final eight will play it out for two months, after which we will know 2010's WikiCup winner, and a variety of prizes will be awarded.

Re: Finally

Awesome! Thanks for the note. :) Nikki♥311 01:13, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

The Gerweck should be fine since it is an interview. The forum one was definitely questionable (b/c it would be hard to prove it is really her), so I tried to replace it with a WWE source that named the move. Plus, it wasn't formatted or anything, so that must have been one I overlooked. For some reason, though, it isn't formatting correctly. Do you know what the problem is? Nikki♥311 02:26, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

It is a company that distributes music and collects licensing fees. It should be fine. Nikki♥311 04:01, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Not that I know of...those stupid awards are the hardest to source! If PWI has an annual issue that they reveal the winners in, you could just cite the issue from that year. Nikki♥311 02:56, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Gangrel

Oh, alright. Congrats on finally finishing Gail Kim, I know you've been working very hard on this and about time that you've accomplished it, so. :) If you need help with Gangrel I'll try to do my best. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:47, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah I forgot you and Nikki were working on Gail Kim, I can't believe I forgot. I guess I'm a have to start on E&C, and multi-task, which I always do. IDK, cause Nici is preparing to go back to school and told me that once she starts she's not sure she'll have much time to be here. I'll begin work on E&C shortly. Damn, I haven't touched a wrestling article in quite some time; I haven't worked on a wrestling article is what I mean. Maybe those topics will be at GAC... soon. ;) If she needs help with her topics I'll be willing to help, and if you need anything let me know. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:26, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
No, no, I gots to finish it now, don't want to leave you hanging when you finish Gangrel. I just need to work in two or three sections and I'm done, well, then I have to work on the lead. Well, I wish you good luck on your future non-wrestling projects. :) Oh, that sucks [Nici refusing to talk to you]. If you guys need help or whatever let me know and I'll see what I can do. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:31, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Are you saying that cause you don't see yourself finish Gangrel soon? My only reason of finishing E&C is to get points at the WikiCup as I'm one of the finalists, and I REALLY need points. Yup, that's my name just don't take it. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:43, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, you asked me and I told you, so. If I work hard enough E&C will be done... soon. Well, I don't see myself leading, but I'm a have to work hard to get those points. Well, you say that Gangrel and E&C are the only articles left for the E&C topic so might as well get that over with... now... catch my drift? WikiCup. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, duh [about your thing, no not that thing the other thing]. ;) I'll probably have E&C done tomorrow, though I'm not sure about the lead, but the prose. We have to get the Brood as well for the E&C topic? Really? I've been here almost four years with 44,000 edits, and I have no idea what I am. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I did get it, though, I didn't think I needed to respond, sorry if I had to. Have you tried looking in Canadian Online Explorer or even Online World of Wrestling? That's basically the places to look. I can try and see if I can find anything in NewsBank and let you know what I find. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 05:39, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:SamoaJoe0407.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:SamoaJoe0407.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

BFG Pics

Hey again,

Just got back from Daytona about twenty minutes ago. I got some decent pictures. I'll be throwing them up on a MobileMe gallery later. I'll send you think link via e-mail. It's got my real name attached. I'd like to keep all of that off-wiki. Anyway, you can either take what you want or let me know which ones you want me to upload. (The show was awesome by the way.) Hazardous Matt (talk) 18:55, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Let me know if you didn't get the e-mail. It might have ended up in a spam folder or something since it was automated. Hazardous Matt (talk) 04:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Added my e-mail address. It should be there. (I guess it doesn't let you e-mail yourself.) Hazardous Matt (talk) 15:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
I've always thought so. Anyway, the photos are pretty hi-res when you download them. There's one of Tommy Dreamer being smashed into a cage and at full size you can see his face being mushed into the grating. Might be good for a Lethal Lockdown article. Hazardous Matt (talk) 13:36, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Take your time, dude. I would have done it myself, but every time I think about contributing I visit WT:PW and that urge quickly subsides. I tried to get the best pictures I could. I learned next time I should set it up to take multiple shots in a row. I think the set with the cage came out well (which should work for the event page). I wish I had a better picture of EV2 together, not just their backs. Hazardous Matt (talk) 21:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 October newsletter

The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to New South Wales Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – White Shadows (submissions), William S. Saturn (submissions), Connecticut Staxringold (submissions) and Colombia ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to Hungary Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is New South Wales Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Connecticut Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Republic of Ireland Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!
