WikiCup 2018 September newsletter
The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.- Other contestants who qualified for the final round were
Nova Crystallis, 
Iazyges, 
SounderBruce, 
Kosack and 
Ceranthor.
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

India National Football Team B-Status
You recently addressed that the India national football team can be categorised with B class. But I think its already rated as B class. I really don't know about the procedure. Dey subrata (talk)
Matt294069 Can you visit the page again, and block a user there with name "EK1067", he is continuously removing information from the page without giving reason, providing wrong information, i have asked 1000 times to use the talk page of India NF team page, but he is doing coming to his mind and more than that he is Vandalising the page, you can see his recent edits, please help me out i tried to block him from the page but failed to do that. Dey subrata (talk)
Matt294069 I have resolved issues with him. Actually I was not talking about the color heading, I was talking about the matches played and goal information in the olympics, anyway I had provided information in the talk page, the issues are resolved. But why do you removed the Historical matches info from the page, the Olympics matches, those are Indian first international tournaments and ofcorse the biggest for India,and AFC is the only big tournamet India presently playing or trying to qualify, and very important in the Indian football history, specially the Olympics. We need not to be exact similar like the page of Belgium football or Peru football,we can take ideas from those pages but we can have our own version, but it must be correct and properly resourced and references, thats it I think. Thank you. Dey subrata (talk)
Matt294069, thanks for the comments. I agree about the chart and maps, they were features I saw on foreign language versions of the topic and thought they looked smart so just added and adjusted them, but they aren't typical for such articles and don't add much. I won't personally be removing them until instructed in the review itself, but if you think they should go now, please take them out. I would disagree with the domestic cup aspect, because that is often how the team qualifies for Europe so it all ties in. I don't recall any of that being overly detailed other than maybe 1977 and/or 2012 but those were exceptional seasons, they don't reach many finals so to get to two and lose them both is unusual and worthy of a mention and a ref in both of instances. But if there's any other examples you can can think of and you have time to highlight it, please do so and I'll have a look. Thanks. Crowsus (talk) 07:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Re: 2020 ICC World Twenty20 and 2020 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier

Fiji national team GA
Hi, I see that you are intending to promote Fiji national football team to GA. I have just recently promoted Lebanon, so if you need any help don't hesitate to tell me! Nehme1499 (talk) 12:03, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Matt294069: That shouldn't be a problem, as articles such as San Marino national football team and Andorra national football team are both GA. I have a couple of articles for which I've requested copyediting and was thinking of nominating both (Lebanon women's national football team and Hassan Maatouk) for GA. If you want, when you will nominate Fiji national football team, I can start the reviewing process for it and you can help me out be reviewing one of the two articles I've mentioned above. What do you think? Nehme1499 (talk) 12:45, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
- L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.- Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Take care
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1930_British_Lions_tour_to_New_Zealand_and_Australia - check the history - leaving out importance is the main problem of many editors who tag - please take care !!!
it is literally pointless to put in edits with incomplete sets of assessments - many people simply copy and dont check - there are importance rating that when they are in there, shows the sign of a completed assesment - in many states tags the eds put state and have nothing about the importance tag - thereby requiring a revisit down the line of the whole states tags :( JarrahTree 00:38, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
when the million edit taggers pass by - they usually leave bare minumum that requires repeated visits to get things correct - so when you come along with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3A2007_Australian_Open_%E2%80%93_Women%27s_Doubles&type=revision&diff=889795304&oldid=858528489 that is excellent - just one little extra bit required.
Your intent/beginning - is very much appreciated - so few oz eds even understand let alone edit on talk pages - your effort is really good! You may be interested in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Evad37/rater -well worth checking out JarrahTree 00:51, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
@JarrahTree: Well it's my intent to try and work on the talk pages and I initially did it with this account for about two months but then I realized that it was taking over 40% of my edits for that month (August and September 2018), I thought I would create a second account mainly for talk pages with a few tagging here and there if needed.
In terms of using the bare minimum usage in talk pages, I hate people who do that as personally when I create a page on this account, I usually create the talk page as well to get it out of the way and not have a red link. That was also another reason for creating it as I wanted to lower some of those unassessed numbers from the WP:WikiProject Football as that has over 20,000 pages without an rating which is a lot. Not Homura (talk) 03:22, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- I think there might be some misunderstandings here - I am talking about the minimal talk page tagging of materials - not personal talk pages - some pages just tagged australia as if that was solving something - to actually get all the rest in depending upon the subject requires effort and knowledge of what is happening... almost your edits this morning are missing things :) JarrahTree 04:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah I understand where you coming from but at the end of the day, someone has to do those talk page edits or the rating system will go nowhere. Not Homura (talk) 10:40, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- but there arent that many eds who are going to follow around from edits between 4 or 6 years ago and now correcting the entries - very few do it - and yours from this am will take at least half an hour to fix... JarrahTree 10:47, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

2019 New Zealand NBL season
Hi there. Just wanted to touch base with you regarding 2019 New Zealand NBL season and the listing of games. Are you planning on keeping this updated? I have been the sole New Zealand NBL editor for many years now and I have never bothered with listing each regular season game as I don't think it's that notable or significant and it clogs up the page. I don't plan on keeping it updated, so if you are not either, I might remove the whole thing to keep consistency with the previous seasons. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 May newsletter
The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
- Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on.
- Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs.
- Adam Cuerden (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations.
Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.
Other notable performances were put in by 
Barkeep49 with six GAs, 
Ceranthor, 
Lee Vilenski, and 
Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and 
MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

— Stevey7788 (talk) 11:23, 6 May 2019 (UTC)DYK for 2019 Hong Kong Sevens
On 9 May 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2019 Hong Kong Sevens, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Fiji won a record-breaking fifth consecutive title at the 2019 Hong Kong Sevens? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2019 Hong Kong Sevens. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 2019 Hong Kong Sevens), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Accounts renamed
Hi, your accounts have been renamed as following:
- HawkAussie → AussieHawk
- Matt294069 → HawkAussie
One thing you will have to do by yourself is update your common.js. When doing the first rename, the account's common.js left a redirect under the old username, so when doing the second rename the account's common.js was not moved. You can simply copy the content of User:Matt294069/common.js into User:HawkAussie/common.js. -★- PlyrStar93 →Message me. ← 01:54, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Cricket World Cup Statistics Fast Bowling
I thought there were verifiable links in the tables to icc-cricket.com such as https://www.icc-cricket.com/match/8205#hawk-eye_bowl-speeds which show the average and maximum speed of ball. 69.181.193.136 (talk) 09:03, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- At the end of the day, it's goes under WP:OR as their is no reference to state the top 10 fastest speeds for the World Cup. HawkAussie (talk) 09:05, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- posts by cricinfo such as https://www.facebook.com/Cricinfo/photos/a.405288942554/10156299456697555/?type=3 , https://twitter.com/cricvizanalyst/status/1136607105341886464 and https://twitter.com/cricvizanalyst/status/1134767938291032064 are same data. My suggestion is to keep the lists until it is decided that they are not correct. 69.181.193.136 (talk) 00:49, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Those particular sections wouldn't be deemed reliable either as they are self-published and can't be really trusted. Yeah they are from a reliable source but as it's social media, verifiability comes into play with this discussion. HawkAussie (talk) 01:43, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Cricinfo is known to be a source of cricket related information for 23 years now.. and cricinfo references CricViz in its data as well and uses and displays HawkEye data in its scorecards. Why do you think the data is not verifiable? The links to the Hawkeye charts are given in every entry and they are listed in an order based on that data. The list does not say if there is a rank, it is just this is the data. It does end up showing as a rank because of that. 69.181.193.136 (talk) 10:11, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- You obviously don't understand do you. Those stats can't be used in the World Cup stats page for the year. It wasn't in the 2015 edition and it probably won't be in this edition either. HawkAussie (talk) 12:56, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- It wasn't in the 2015 edition because at that time HawkEye technology was not developed enough and the graphs were in very nascent state. With new technology and data the stats need to be updated to give more information that is available to the users. We cant be sticking to things exactly as before forever. If these stats were not useful, cricinfo and cricviz would not be caring to report them. Does that make sense to you about why we don't need to follow 2015? IPL has these stats too? https://www.iplt20.com/stats/2019/fastest-balls Why do you think that is? 69.181.193.136 (talk) 18:33, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- I have removed the fastest deliveries stats again. This is clearly original research. Collections of individual sources tabulated from matches to form a statistic is unreliable. Official sources from a reliable record keeper (such as Cricinfo) are more sufficient. Ajf773 (talk) 22:08, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- FYI, this ip editor is Nihits trying to recreate their now deleted list of fast bowlers. They are maintaining it in their own sandbox now. Spike 'em (talk) 13:30, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Hey, just wanted to say you need to be a bit more careful with your edits. This change removed the German, Italian and Spanish football task forces from the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final talk page. I assume you didn't do that on purpose, but you still need to be careful when making edits as stuff like that isn't always picked up. – PeeJay 12:35, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- @PeeJay2K3: This is because on WP:FOOTY/Spain, it says to not include matches or competitions as that isn't part of the scope. So with that being the case, I remove the other three task forces. I understand that the German task force maybe shouldn't been removed but the other two don't follow that same rules. HawkAussie (talk) 01:37, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Except the match was played in Spain, so it is part of that task force’s scope. Inter Milan won the game too, so it should be part of the Italian task force’s scope too. – PeeJay 07:09, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Since when is the Olympiastadion in Spain as they play the final in Germany. HawkAussie (talk) 08:26, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Except the match was played in Spain, so it is part of that task force’s scope. Inter Milan won the game too, so it should be part of the Italian task force’s scope too. – PeeJay 07:09, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 July newsletter
The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with 500 points derived mainly from a featured article and two GAs on natural history topics- Adam Cuerden, with 480 points, a tally built on 16 featured pictures, the result of meticulous restoration work
- SounderBruce, a finalist in the last two years, with 306 points from a variety of submissions, mostly related to sport or the State of Washington
- Usernameunique, with 305 points derived from a featured article and two GAs on archaeology and related topics

.png&action=edit&redlink=1){kind=link}
Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Copy edit of 2007 ICC World Twenty20 Final
I've reviewed your copy edit of 2007 ICC World Twenty20 Final. I made some additional changes which you can see in this diff. Here are some notes:
- There was a bit of overcapitalization. You'll see a lot of this in sports reporting, an extension of headlinism or scoreboardism (where everything is in all caps). Consider whether something is a proper noun or generic. Also, section headings should have sentence case (MOS:HEADINGS). So
Bowl-out
→ bowl-out andTeam Composition
→ Team composition. - For numeric ranges, such as sports scores, a dash should be used instead of a hyphen. So
3-0
→ 3–0 (see MOS:DASH for more about dashes and hyphens). - There is a lot of jargon peculiar to cricket. Where possible, general terms should be used for a general reader.
- There were problems with verb agreement and tenses:
Both India and Pakistan was drawn in Group D
→ Both India and Pakistan were drawn in Group D.Yusuf Pathan going into the lineup
→ Yusuf Pathan went into the lineup. - Overlinking: The players' names were linked on almost every mention. They should only be linked on first mention in lead and body of the article. If the article is particularly long they may be linked intermittently, and also on first mention in a table.
- Also with names, after first mention we can refer to people by their surname, so long as this won't cause confusion (MOS:SURNAME). In this article there are two people named Pathan, two people named Sharma and three people named Singh, so we have to use their full names. Note that R. P. Singh and Rudra Singh are the same person; one name should be used for this person throughout the article to avoid confusion.
- We try to be concise with encyclopedic writing, to summarize topics and not have redundant material. So with
Ranjan Madugalle was selected as the match referee for the match
you don't need that last "for the match". Usually, if you can state something in fewer words, do so. - I applied summary style by cutting a lot of information from the section Road the the final, which is a summary of another article, but don't fee that you have to do that.
You may want to have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/How to and become more familiar with Wikipedia's Manual of Style before you do more copy editing. I appreciate your work expanding the article but you might not be ready for copy editing, which is very detailed work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:03, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Reidgreg: I understand what are you saying there, I would probably be best just to write the articles instead of copyediting them. HawkAussie (talk) 01:33, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
1986 Austral-Asia Cup Final: Revision history
For 1986 Austral-Asia Cup Final, what copyedit is to be done? If none, I can remove the tag.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 14:06, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
- Dthomsen8 It was mainly spelling and all that. If not, I can claim that for myself. HawkAussie (talk) 11:19, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I quite understand why you tagged the above redirect as vandalism - indeed, I initially accepted your request and deleted it. However, when I looked at the user's contributions I saw they were mostly about cocktails. Upon Googling, it appears that the above really is a cocktail. You might want to remove the warning from the user's talk page. Cheers! --kingboyk (talk) 02:48, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Kingboyk: I thought it was vandalism that is why I tagged it. But seriously their is some weird names for cocktails. HawkAussie (talk) 02:54, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
Citations in lead para
Hi, HawkAussie, Is there any plausible reason for 'just' removing a citation from the lead, as here? If so, why is there no need for consistency, i.e., to remove all citations from the lead? Personally, I prefer the argument put forward here.
Incidentally, consistency should also have been considered in your (technically quite correct) number adustments to make "team" singular. I had earlier thought of that before looking through just one section of the article and finding:
- The West Indies were guaranteed a spot
- New Zealand were the first team to announce
- England batted first and, despite losing their first wicket
- South Africa were bowled out for 207
- Bangladesh made their highest score in ODIs
- as they [Pakistan] beat England by 14 runs at Trent Bridge
- Sri Lanka got off to a good start in their game against Afghanistan
- by the 14th over, they had already fallen to 57/5
- Afghanistan fell 34 runs short of their revised target
If you change one or two, consistency would require that you change all. Another consideration—that of common English usage—permits us to keep things civil by being less than pedantic in this instance. Permit me to fix this for you when I next visit the page. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 06:18, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Bjenks: To answer that ciation question, most of the references that is already in the article can be removed from it. In the associate case, I removed it as it was in the qualifying section. The other look through, I mainly did it on the fly per day so looking through that would be difficult to work on. HawkAussie (talk) 11:11, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Basketball at the 2019 Pan American Games – Men's 3x3 tournament moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Basketball at the 2019 Pan American Games – Men's 3x3 tournament, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
