WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter

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!

Choi Soon-dal

Hi Revi,

I have been adding information to Choi Soon Dal's wiki page. He's my father, so I know quite a bit about him. He has never spelled his first name with a hyphen. I don't know how to edit that, can you correct that? And since there is a wiki page on him in Korean, can we consider using the English version of his name, Soon Dal Choi? He had lived in the US for 20 years and has many friends, associates, and family that would look him up that way.

Thanks.

A kitten for you!

This wiki-kitten is here to say "Thank you for your continued efforts to make this project better". Like a kitten, Wikipedia may occasionally scratch and bite, or barf, but it is still worth it! Cheers,

Thanks! Yes, some people may scratch, bite, or barf intentionally or unintentionally, but the project is fun to work with. — Revi 12:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

GA Cup - The Finals

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - Round 5/Final GA Cup competitors and observers: Get ready, we're about to move into the finals of the inaugural GA Cup! Not nearly as important as another competition taking place this weekend, but significant none the less. No deflated footballs here, though! Thursday saw the end of Round 4. Out of the 8 contestants in the semi-finals, 5 have moved to the finals. The semi-finals continued to be very competitive. The highest scorer overall was Ritchie333 from Pool B, with an impressive 488 points and a total of 36 articles reviewed, the most of any competitor; close behind was Jaguar (last round's wildcard), with 477 points and 29 reviews. At times, the competition between them was a real horse-race, and exciting for the judges to witness. Both Ritchie333 and Jaguar have moved onto the finals. In Pool A, Good888 with 294 points, and Wizardman with 179 also won slots in the final. 3family6 with 285 points, won the wildcard slot. We also had one withdrawal, due to outside-of-Wikipedia priorities. Congrats to all! Although there were just 8 competitors, more reviews were conducted this round than in any other round—148, which demonstrates the commitment and enthusiasm of our participants. The most successful competitors, like in all previous rounds, reviewed articles that languished in the queue at GAC for at least five months (worth 18 points). The Boat Race articles were popular review choices again, with almost 20% of the articles reviewed this month. In other news, we received another report from GA statistics page maintainer User:AmericanLemming. See here [1] for his take on the effect the GA Cup has had on Good Article reviews. He believes that we've made a real difference. AmericanLemming says: "As you can see, ...the GA Cup has done wonders when it comes to getting the oldest nominations reviewed much sooner thanks to the system whereby you get the most points for reviewing the oldest articles." Everyone involved with this competition, especially the competitors, should be very proud of what we've been able to accomplish! The Final will start on February 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on February 26 at 23:59:59 UTC with a winner being crowned. Information about the Final can be found here. Good luck to all our finalists! Cheers from Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Patrol

Hi -revi, I've received a notification that all my sandbox got "patrolled" warning from you. May I know what is that? Is that a deletion warning? Did i do something wrong? Please let me know my mistake so I can improve it. Thank you Sonflower0210 (talk) 14:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Replying on your talkpage. — Revi 14:13, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother you again. There are also a tag for unreliable source on A_Pink page. I've replaced all the sources from allkpop and soompi from there. Can you please help check please? or how's usually the procedure to remove those? Thank you so much Sonflower0210 (talk) 20:49, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 Done I think you can do it if you replaced all unreliable sources to reliable one :D Btw, it may be helpful to have |trans-title=(English Translation) on references which title is Korean, for those who cannot read Korean. — Revi 02:37, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much, appreciate the help. I'll try to do that. :) Sonflower0210 (talk) 22:35, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
