Competition: Return of The Wiki Writers Hi all!  I'm happy to announce that, from this moment, a "classic" competition returns to GMC: "Return of the Wiki-Writers" will be running until the end of October! Check the Scoreboard! As many of you already know, this competition is based on our Guitar-Wiki and aims to create lots of new entries, so get your keyboards ready and share your articles with us!  First Place will receive a:  VOX ToneLab ST Tube power explosion!: 12AX7 tube circuitry, ASIO-compatible USB audio interface, 100 presets, Expression pedal & Multi-effects. How cool is that? Second Place will receive a:  Fender Champion 600 5-watt all-tube tribute to a historic Fender amp with 50s “two-tone” looks. Higher-gain preamp circuit added to let the overdriven tone exceed that of the original, plus high or low gain inputs. Internal speaker jack enables use of a larger speaker cabinet too! Third Place will receive a:  PocketPOD Express Guitar multi effects processor featuring five historic amp models, six stunning effects, and an accurate built-in tuner. Get crystalline clean tones, scorching high-gain distortions and more from Pocket POD Express! There's an old saying, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it", I believe that pretty much applies to last year's great wiki writers competition, so in this re-issue we are maintaining the original spirit, changing only the scoring system a bit to reward outstanding articles & keep the scoreboard updated from beginning to end, without having to add any extra points once the competition ends. The rules and operation are as follows:
As stated above, articles can be graded between 1 and 8 points. Here are some examples so that you know what to aim for: This incomplete kind of article would rate a 1: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...iWritersExample This one would rate a 5: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Arch_Enemy This one would rate an 8: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...uce_Springsteen Please understand this isn't an exact science, so take those articles as a reference. Browse this Wiki Forum to check last edition entries too, they are labeled "WikiWriters Entry" at their title Also note, an important part of gaining a high score is the use of correct wiki formatting, adding things such as category, pictures, titles, etc. See our Wiki Tutorial if you are in doubt, it's really easy!. Remember that, on top of the competition prizes, 5 quality articles will qualify you for a WikiWriters badge!

QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ Sep 5 2009, 09:13 AM)  Without Fran participating in this competition, there might be a chance of actually winning the first price! (I was ranked 3rd in the last Wiki competition, just a few points behind the second place while Fran was ranked first with a gigantic number of points ahead and over 100 written articles...) I think you are the favorite going into this Zakk

I had a blast last year with this competition HeheGo for it guys, this competition is all about creating nice articles, all you need is a keyboard and motivation to talk about your favourite bands, equipment, guitarists... Many days we waste 20 minutes watching some worthless TV program etc., just take that time to make articles and anyone can easily win this one Looking forward to those entries! -------------------- Guitars:
