:xmastree: Well, it's that time of year again, and do you know what that means? :xmastree:
That's right, presents! So this year, VMKForums will be giving out free subscriptions to the winners of this contest!



For those of you who don't know the rules of the contest, it's really simple. All you do is write an article for the wiki, send it to me, and if it's good enough, you may win a Mega Subscription! Kind of like a little gift exchange! Although, this time, I won't be alone in judging! Moderators SpinMarty (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/member.php?u=606) and Prisoner (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/member.php?u=744) will be assisting in the judging!


Here are the details of the contest:


All you need to do is simply write either a guide or part of a wiki page, and then PM it to me. It can be for VMK, Toontown, Pirates of the Caribbean Online, or anything else Disney Online.
You can submit more than one/article if you want, but try to keep it in one PM.
Pictures are helpful, but they're not required.
The best entries will be added to the wiki.
The person who submits the #1 best entry will get to get Mega Subscription, and the three runners-up will get a PM and Signature subscription (remember, userpages come with the PM and Sig subscriptions, too)
You can submit more than one entry.
Remember; don't submit information that's already there!
Editors can still enter, but you have to actually make the page and then PM me the link. You CANNOT use a page that was created prior to the contest. In the event someone edits the page after you create it, the page will be judged by the original version you created.
If you already have a Mega Subscription and your articles places first, you'll have the option to give the prize to someone else, like a late holiday gift. Same thing if you've got a signature/PM subscription and you're a runner-up.
Once the article has been PMed to me, I'll forward it to the other two judges, SpinMarty (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/member.php?u=606) and Prisoner (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/member.php?u=744). After January 20th, we will decide who will win on Live Chat.
Entries will be judged by

Spelling and grammar
Length and detail
Usefulness
Formatting
Its need on the wiki

Entries are only accepted until Monday, January 15. That's more than enough time to write your articles! Also, keep in mind that even if your entry doesn't win, it may still be added to the wiki!



:xmas35: So, better get busy writing those articles! :xmas35:

EDIT FROM SPINMARTY - Please direct your questions to Garfieldo. Thank you

EDIT FROM GARFIELDO - Please PM your entires to ME, and not Spin or Priz. This is because I forward all the PMs a day or two after January 15, so that all the PMs will be in one place in Priz and Spin's inboxes. Thanks for reading!

Wow! Great contest! I really want a userpage, so I will send you an article soon!

Woot! Good luck everyone! :) I have all the goodies on the forums I need, and I'll be happy to edit the wiki anytime, so I'll leave this contest to the rest of you guys! :) Unless you need a red flips page, haha?
Hopefully I shall be on the live chat.. when I get back from WDW ;)
Good luck everyone, and may the best person win!

wow sounds great gl to people who try for contest

I have a question,
Instead of an article,
can I make VMK wallpapers instead?
EDIT: And also, maybe signatures that people can put in their signatures, that shows people about the Wiki?

Well I won last year like third place, so can I try again for first place? ;) (Which means if I happened to win runner-up, you could choose someone else to win the prize since I've already got the signature. ;))

I'll go ahead and start on an article anyways cause I need to add something. :o

tmkttt, I would assume not because its an article contest.. that's kinda the whole idea. But ask him. not me.

Happy Holidays everyone!

PS: I better hurry because I'm leaving in a few days (that was to myself by the way. Uh.. yeah.)

EDIT: OK I've written the article. You didn't even have any of it this time, not like last year. I even have pictures (but then again those are easy to come by ;)) I won't tell anyone what it is about, but I will send it to you tomorrow, when I actually get around to figuring out how to format it and stuffs. See ya later.. I'm whooped!

Sure, you can enter again, and if you're a runner-up you can give your prize to someone else as a late Christmas gift.

Also, I like the idea of passing on the prize to other people as gifts... In fact, I'll go and edit my post right now.

Yay! It's great to see this coming back! I got third place last year, but I could really use the extra PM space on here. So, i'll see if I can write something up for you three. ;)

Hooray! I'm ready to work!

i like it!! I want to join

Im gonna try to Enter

I submitted my entry. Good Luck to everyone! :)

Me too! And the page has been accessed a whole lot. Actually not really but still a few. =)

Merry Christmas everyone! There's still plenty of time to write your entries, so make sure to spend this time with your family! :)

Ooooor, if you've already had Christmas in your time zone, hope you had a good one!

Thanks, you too. I sent mine in too!! :D:D:D

Mine is still under construction, but I love this contribution contest, especially at the nice prizes you can earn, especially during the holiday season ;)

Did you get mine? Just making sure...

Once again, I apologize for my two pm. 10000 letters in one pm, and I had a few more. Sorry about that once again :)

Yup, I got both of them. :)

Just a little update...

[QUOTE=Garfieldo;1324358]Just a little update...

Since I might be out of town the 15th, I'll make the deadlin ( deadline? )

Wow, boy does time fly. 10 more days until the deadline. Boy, I sure am excited :)

The deadline's getting close!

Are YOU wiki enough?

The deadline's getting close!

Are YOU wiki enough?

Now, you increased the deadline to the 20th, correct? I am just curious. My friend is asking :)

Yup, that's correct! Although, I've been having IRC issues, so I'll have to find another way to decide the winners with Spin and Priz.

Just have one of them announce the winners in IRC. Or I will do so if you wish for me too.

Yup, that's correct! Although, I've been having IRC issues, so I'll have to find another way to decide the winners with Spin and Priz.

Is there a specific date or time? That date, maybe the day after? Along with the live announcement, will you also be making a thread with the winners just in case we cannot be on? I am just filled with questions dear Fieldo ;)

Don't worry, we'll make sure it is widely known who the winners are. :) And we'll do it as soon as the three of us decide on the winners, but it may take a couple of days. Be patient.

Besides... you shouldn't be thinking of that right now... think about what you need to write in the next couple of days that will wow us! :)

As have I :)

I wish everyone the best of luck. The day is getting closer and closer it just feels awesome. I wish you two and the rest of everyone who entered the best of luck :Embar:

Hey good luck everyone! I'm feeling lucky, I just won $120 from our science fair. (Would be more but a team project :( Jk love you J!!!)

Anywayzzzzzzz so todays the 18 right? and so on saturday we find out?

and so on saturday we find out?

No. People have until Saturday to submit their entries.
The three of us will then read them and determine who the winners are. Please be patient. It shouldn't take too long, but we want to make sure we give every entry the attention it deserves. :)

Oh yeah, saturdays the 20, ha. OHMIGOSH! I have to write a speech on the 22!!!! omg.

Yeah. Anyways.. good luck to everyone again.

I hope everyone does well! I think I did good :)

I forgot to say this, good luck everyone!

Congratz! I entered, I doubt I'll win though. :D

Alright, I've forwarded the entries to Spin and Priz. Good luck everyone!

Hooray! Time for the voting to begin! Good luck all. :)

I sent mine in a week ago, good thing I read this thread! I didn't realize the deadline changed! ok! Good luck everyone!

I can't wait to hear!

Haha, tomorrow I find out if I made the soccer team and [hopefully] who won here.

Nice hint Maribeth ;)

Well, I made the team, but still no results.

but still no results.

You need to learn patience. :)

It took more than a week for us to get the articles, it may take us a few days to judge them, ok? :)

Aww, do you think we can know tonight or tomorrow? :)

I'm being patient, just saying. My mood has gone incredibly down since a few minutes ago, and I don't know why. I think its Princeton Middle School. Haha, inside joke. And no I do not live in Princeton, nor do I know where the heck that is.

Anyways, you guys keep on doing what your doing. No rush.

I have been waiting patiently, and I know this takes a while to do, but may you please post the results soon? I can't wait to congratulate the winners!

I am still being patient dear Fieldo, but am just curious.

It has been.. about.. 13 days, tomorrow being 2 weeks.

I am still as anxious as ever, and await your decisions.

Totally patient on the other side of this screen :val03:

Hmm... I PMed Priz and Spin about it three days ago, but I haven't gotten a response. :\

SpinMarty haven't been on much. . .

~me~

:( Who knows? Priz is on a lot.

Now this puzzles me in quite a complex way. I don't see spin on, and he is usually on all the time. But I do see prisoner on tons lately. Fieldo, I guess they're possibly just making final decisions or are still debating. I am truly not sure on this one :val04:

I wonder if they're reading my red flips article.. /me slaps himself.
Uh.. Yes, I'm sure they're making final decisions..

I wonder if they're reading my red flips article.. /me slaps himself.
Uh.. Yes, I'm sure they're making final decisions..

Aww.. you made a red flips article? I just love that! It's funny. Best of luck to you.

But yes, prisoner and spin are very mature, I am sure they're moving right along and making final decisions :val04:

I hope they post this weekend, and good luck to all!

I assure you that we are reading them. :)

I must say, they are very difficult to read. I break out in a sweat while reading each one and have to towel myself off. I've been pacing myself. :)

Wow, I read my 10 times without breaking a sweat :) How many more do you have, may I ask?

I think this year it would be interesting to see how many people entered, and how many articles were entered.

I bet that one from Stitchy was a good one with lots of comedy in it. I can just see: Red Flips are my favorite because of the color. :Tongue:

I sumbited one....

Lot's of competition..

Lot's of competition..
Makes me wonder how many there really are!

Great, I was just looking in the virtual guides, and way down was an article just like my article, and Priz said to brush it up and it may be on the Wiki. I hope that doesn't effect my chances.

I PMed SM, not listening to you guys. He said to ask Fieldo, because he knew. Maybe he's wrong.

How is the reading going guys? Any luck in picking our top three winners? :)

Since I have been banned from #vmkforums, could we make sure that the winners are posted on here please?

Read! LOL, Can't wait for the results! Good luck!

Read! LOL, Can't wait for the results! Good luck!
Yeah, me neither. I have a feeling that StitchMad will win :Tongue:

Well, SpinMarty is alive indeed. He was on the site as of yesterday so we know he is moving along, I bet yeah. Lets just give them all time. None of us, I believe, are in such a rush. Just give them time. The "Holiday" Contribution Contest has become the "Valentines" day contribution contest LOL! Just kidding.

Just take your time prisoner and SpinMarty. Pace yourself at the speed you're going, no worries to rush :val03:

Well, this is a holiday ;) It didn't say 'Christmas Contribution Contest.'

Just wanted to check in with you guys as I do not belive either Garfy or Spin has posted here. Priz has I think.

Nope. None of them have for a few days.

Wait, the results are on #vmkforums?

I can't even get on any of them, it won't connect.

They were going to announce it there. I think that they are going to put them on here too. I hope so too :) I can't get on either.

They were going to announce it there.

I'm really not sure where you got this idea. :) We were going to discuss them there, but decided not to.

The results will be posted here - relax everyone.

Oh. I thought that you were going to do both in the chat room. That gets a load off my chest!

Good luck everyone!
I hope I win more PM space and a Userpage.
HauntedHomie.

Good luck everyone!

HauntedHomie.
At least the Userpage is only $5 for one year ;)

I really want a UP :(, I am not allowed, but I understand why... anyway.. Good thing you are not doing it in chat, I don't have Java!

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, been having some internet trouble.
I'm afraid I don't know where Spin is, though. :|

PLEASE PLEASE post for Presidents' weekend! LOL.

Well, it has officially been 1 month since the time of being aloud to enter. That's a while (LOL)

Oh well, just keep taking your time, though it seems our dear SpinMarty is off for quite a while. It's been... the 9th I believe? Oh boy, that is quite a while.

Just keep up the good work priz, fieldo, and spin :)

I just hope that there isn't a server error or something like that.

Can't wait until the results! I almost forgot about this since it's been so long.

~Fantasy/Penguin

Same here, Penguingirl477! I really hope that they give the results soon!

Where's Spin? I heard we are just waiting on him. He hasn't been here for over two weeks!

Spin actually logged in today at 3:45 EST for me. I was shocked to see him on (Haha!). I have hope once again for Spin has logged on after a long time. I sure hope he is okay and all :D

SpinMarty is back. I'm his friend in VMK and he said he was away for a while. :)

Just wondering, how close are you, (Garfieldo, Priz, and Spin) to being done with the voting?

Not to push ya'll, but Garfieldo did say they're hoping to get the results out by tonight, since today is the Wiki's birthday :D

I thought they said the results would be out on the 6th.

That was the plan, but we ran into another problem. :( We're trying to wrap this up as quickly as we can while being fair judges.

That's good to know. If you were VMK staff, you'd only be trying to wrap this up as quickly as you could, without worrying about that other part.

I just now noticed this. I am an editor of the wiki, and I didn't create a page. Am I disqualified or anything?

Any results yet?

I read this post at least 7 times before and I just figured out what this meant. xD.

I, also, was hoping for some results by now. At least who is not in the top ten. Depends on how many people entered really.

And do you disagree?

It's been like 5 months now, please post results!

Like I've already said, we're going to post the winners April 1st, no matter what. :}

Eek, two more days.

Can't wait, I probably didn't win though.

Good luck everyone!

Red flips? I love red flips! But wait- aren't I posting the winners? ;)

Why do I always have to hear great news after it occurs?

Post them Stitchmad body! HEHE

Whoever is posting the results... post the results before I attack :easterchild:

Haha, just kidding. StitchMad or Garfieldo... well, I just got a headache now :easter_chickegg:

I am so confused. April Fools Day hurts my brain.

And you just bumped this thread over the thread with the winners.


Not joking. :P
