WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter
![](https://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!

Solon Chase
Hi there, I've noticed your interest in the Greenback Party (and congratulations your impressive expansion of the 1880 Greenback National Convention article!). I started Solon Chase today and thought you might be interested. Chase was a very influential Greenback that has not received the national coverage in the 20th or 21st centuries that other Greenbacks have, but I have found a significant amount of material in primary sources. Will you take a look and edit as needed?--TM 20:50, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Thomas Jefferson Political philosophy and views section summary
Hello Coemgenus...I am currently working on a core summary of Jefferson's Polilical philosophy and views section in the Thomas Jefferson talk page...The orginial section by discussion is to be its own article and replaced by the summary to reduce the size of the article...Any editing help or input from yourself on the core summary in the talk page would be most welcome...Thanks Cmguy777 (talk) 00:35, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
Coolidge Cowboy
Hello,
In regard to Coolidge's well known affinity for cowboy costumes - it is no exaggeration. Nearly every Coolidge biography mentions it, including Bill Bryson's recent book: "America: One Summer 1927".
The amount of resources on the web detailing Coolidge's cowboy dress is beyond plentiful. Even the White House site mentions it: http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/calvincoolidge
I would recommend adding a sentence to acknowledge Coolidge's almost comical indulgence of cowboy outfits.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpenderbrook (talk • contribs) 15:30, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- Let's discuss at the article's talk page. --Coemgenus (talk) 15:32, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- Reminds me: I've been meaning to restore an image of Coolidge. Any preference? Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:56, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- I used this in the infobox when it was first featured, back in 2007. People have changed it out since then, but if it could be made less shadowy looking, it might serve. The one in the infobox now is OK, too. I've been meaning to rewrite large sections of the article. It's FA, but it's not up to the standard I like to impose on my more recent FA submissions. --Coemgenus (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- Think the current infobox image would more reward the time - the older one isn't a particularly good reproduction of the underlying photo, so there's only so far you can take it - if you check the LoC site, it's a 1.3 megabyte TIFF, which is tiny. Adam Cuerden (talk)
- Cool. I defer to your judgment in such things! --Coemgenus (talk) 16:08, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 1880 Greenback National Convention you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Kersey Graves and Greenback Party
Hi there, I would like to further commend you for the fine, fine work you've done with the 1880 Greenback Convention article. You have written an article that is interesting and comprehensible on a topic for which sources are not so easy to come by. Great work! I was reading through it and I noticed a name I did not recognize in Kersey Graves. After reading the article for Graves, I have no doubt that he was a Greenback, but I also noticed that there is no mention of it in his article, nor could I find a citation on Google Books. I see that you have access to the book by Mark Lause, so perhaps, could you exapnd Kersey Graves to include information on his participation with the Greenback Party?--TM 12:52, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Aha, the problem was that it is early in the morning in the eastern United States and I misread his name as Kelsey. I have found multiple citations now. Either way, fantastic work!--TM 12:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, glad you liked it! --Coemgenus (talk) 13:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of 1880 Greenback National Convention
The article 1880 Greenback National Convention you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:1880 Greenback National Convention for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Jesse Harper
Hi there, I've been digging deeper into the Greenback Party's leaders and I found Jesse Harper (politician). He finished 2nd for the party's nomination for President in 1884 to Ben Butler. He was also national chairman and 1884 candidate for Governor of Illinois. I found this book. Any help you can give in writing and improving this article is greatly appreciated.--TM 17:23, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- That's a good source. I hadn't planned on working on Harper for at least a few months, but I'll put it on my watchlist and chip in where I can. --Coemgenus (talk) 18:14, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Rename your file?
I've just been looking at File:Ogallala.JPG, which you uploaded to WP in 2007 and which was subsequently moved to Commons. I'd like to give the file a more specific name; I'm thinking about "Front Street, Ogallala, Nebraska, 2007.jpg". Insufficient specificity isn't listed as one of the reasons for changing a filename at Commons:File renaming, but I think that we'd be better off with a name that describes the content in a little more detail. Would you be willing to go along with this? I've got file-renaming rights, so given your consent, I'll go ahead and do the rename. (I'll watch this talk page, so you can reply here if you'd like). Thanks — Ammodramus (talk) 13:44, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- That's fine by me. --Coemgenus (talk) 13:59, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- Done, thanks. — Ammodramus (talk) 21:04, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for January 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Samuel J. Randall, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Silver dollar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
