That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.

Hello! Hi there K6ka! I'm curious as to why you deleted the images I posted to the Lower East Side page. I was only trying to enhance and provide more visual information. I also added images of the LES parks which were not removed. Thank you! Mag 02:41, 17 March 2016 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magdalamar ( talk • contribs)

Dear User:K6ka. Your page User:K6ka/Dashboard has appeared at Category:Pages_where_template_include_size_is_exceeded. You could help us to empty this maintenance category by replacing the admin dashboard parts of this page with {{ admin dashboard/light}} that provides the same functionality, but is far less prone to overflow. Thanks in advance. Pldx1 ( talk) 11:09, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
