GA2

Hi, I left additional comments at your GA review of "Round & Round". Allow me to suggest that you check an article in more detail for style and clarity, you have only made one suggestion for improvement. In Talk:Brian Halligan/GA1 you didn't seem to know what exactly you wanted ("More potential sections"). You also argued that article leads need a specific size for a promotion instead of being quality summaries (as in: Epiphany (web browser)). Please request additional opinions when you seem stuck and don't know how best to proceed. Best regards Hekerui (talk) 21:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the additional comments on Talk:Round & Round (Selena Gomez & the Scene song)/GA2. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by my review(s). – Plarem ^{(User talk contribs)} 21:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2012 WikiCup

Hello, and welcome to the 2012 WikiCup! The competition officially begins at the start of 2012 (UTC) after which time you may begin to claim points. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points.

This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list. Please direct any questions towards the judges, or on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn (talk) and The ed17 (talk) 17:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Revision history of 100€, 200€ and 500€ notes

Hi Plarem!

I saw you reverted my edits about 100€, 200€ and 500€ notes, specifying that there was no reference. My reference is my everyday life experience: do you think I can write this?

The fact is: I live in Ireland since a few years, and whenever I go to a bank to withdraw money, if I ask 100€ 200€ or 500€ notes, they always say they don't have them, and they cannot explain why. Worse: many are annoyed if i ask! As far as my experience goes, in Spain, Germany and Italy they have no problem giving you those notes; furthermore, 100€ notes are common in Continental ATM machines.

I see that "this article uses Hiberno-English", so I assume you're Irish. Can you proof that banks in Ireland have 100€, 200€ and 500€ notes? And if so, can you direct me to somewhere where I can get one of those notes, just for the pleasure of it? (This is a trait I share with Uncle Scrooge, pity I don't share his money :-P ) Thanks! --Abacos (talk) 18:05, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I have reverted the edits because no reference was given. For GA/FAs EVERY SINGLE fact needs to be referenced per WP:WIAGA/WP:WIAFA. If you cannot find references for that, then please do not add it! In the first, second and third paragraph, you state your own experience. That is unacceptable per WP:OR. It needs to have a reliable source, not your own research.

I cannot see anything in the boi.ie website about €100 notes and up not being printed by the Bank of Ireland.

As for the notes in real life, I suggest AIB, Ulster Bank, or Permanent TSB? – Plarem ^{(User talk contribs)} 19:14, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I notice you didn't list the Bank of Ireland. I'll try the banks you listed. Thank you! ^_^ --Abacos (talk) 01:02, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Re:10 złotych note

Thanks for letting me know about this. There are no written rules about this happening, but it was discussed some time ago (I can find the discussion in the archives if you're interested). Basically, the best thing to do is probably to remove it, but, yes, I would have no objection to you claiming it later if you manage to clean up the article to the extent that it passes GAC again. Thanks, J Milburn (talk) 10:35, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 January newsletter

WikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. Signups will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is Grapple X (submissions), due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about The X-Files; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at good article candidates. Second place is currently held by Ruby2010 (submissions), whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is Jivesh boodhun (submissions), who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly!

The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20.

A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.

• 12george1 (submissions) was the first to score, with his good article review of Illinois v. McArthur.
• 12george1 (submissions) was also the first to score points for an article, thanks to his work on Hurricane Debby (1982)- now a good article. Tropical storms have featured heavily in the Cup, and good articles currently have a relatively fast turnaround time for reviews.
• Sp33dyphil (submissions) was the first to score points for a did you know, with Russian submarine K-114 Tula. Military history is another subject which has seen a lot of Cup activity.
• Sp33dyphil (submissions) is also the first person to successfully claim bonus points. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is now a good article, and was eligible for bonus points because the subject was covered on more than 20 other Wikipedias at the start of the competition. It is fantastic to see bonus points being claimed so early!
• Speciate (submissions) was the first to score points for an In the News entry, with Paedophryne amauensis. The lead image from the article was also used on the main page for a time, and it's certainly eye-catching!
• Jivesh boodhun (submissions) was the first to score points for a featured article, and is, at the moment, the only competitor to claim for one. The article, "Halo" (Beyoncé Knowles song), was also worth double points because of its wide coverage. While this is an article that Jivesh and others have worked on for some time, it is undeniable that he has put considerable work into it this year, pushing it over the edge.

We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition.

A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, are making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, 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, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

WikiCup 2012 February newsletter

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Ruby2010 (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Miyagawa (submissions) and Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Ruby2010 (submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.

The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.

The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup.

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! Grapple X (submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's Casliber (submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including ornithology and botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.

Congratulations to Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to 12george1 (submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as recent statistics from Miyagawa (submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2012 April newsletter

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's Grapple X (submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on The X-Files, but also Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's Casliber (submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's Muboshgu (submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.

65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both Matthewedwards (submissions) and Grandiose (submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, Ealdgyth (submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on William the Conqueror and the Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on Western Jackdaw, now a good article, Dana Boomer (submissions) earned triple points for her work on lettuce and work by Stone (submissions) to ready antimony for good article status earned him triple points. Jarry1250 (submissions) managed to expand Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.

An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions), for continued help behind the scenes.

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, 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.

"X on Twitter" articles

Justin Bieber on Twitter and Ashton Kutcher on Twitter are nominated as AFD. I wonder if you know what you are doing to Lady Gaga on Twitter, as it will become AFD at any minute. --George Ho (talk) 18:11, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

If it becomes AFD, the whole GA process will be put on hold for a month or so... If the editor doesn't speak up, the article will fail GA anyway... – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 18:40, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

In this case, can you have Bieber article reassessed or listed for delisting then? --George Ho (talk) 19:00, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I can reassess Beaver on Twitter, after the FA nomination ends, but I don't get what you mean about the 'listing for delisting'... – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 19:02, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I have this talk page on your watchlist, so I'll know when you reply. Anyway, well.... you can propose a delisting in reassessment page. --George Ho (talk) 19:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I'd rather do it after the FAC ends, not to put hassle on anybody... – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 19:08, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Anyway, can you comment on both articles at AFD discussions then? I'll be awaiting your words. --George Ho (talk) 19:20, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

As for both articles, you mean Beaver on Twitter and Ashton Kutcher on Twitter or Beaver on Twitter and Lady Gaga on Twitter? And yes, I will have my say in it... – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 19:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. You shall see overloaded amount of frustration there. Also, WP:GNG has been cited inappropiately. Here: WP:articles for deletion/Justin Bieber on Twitter and WP:articles for deletion/Ashton Kutcher on Twitter. --George Ho (talk) 19:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Update: The FAC nom on Bieber account has been closed, but process is delayed. Meanwhile, get ready for reassessment. --George Ho (talk) 07:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Here you go: Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Justin Bieber on Twitter/1. --George Ho (talk) 07:43, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

When will you continue the reassessment, because at the end of September, my test weeks are starting will be very busy. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 19:43, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Major thanks for reassessing really appreciate it, I want the article to be in the best state it can be. I would like to suggest some articles you might care to reassess for GA that really need it; Justin Timberlake and Oasis (band), for example. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 01:15, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 15:02, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

GA reviews

It's pretty clear that you don't understand how to do a proper GA review. Please, do not review any more articles until you have more experience in this area. --Rschen7754 20:29, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

because of what reason you support croat nationalist Sokac121 in his propaganda war against Serbia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:10, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean by that? – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:12, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Sokac121 is croat nationalist and sockpuppet. he have 3 accounts: Sokac121, Shokatz and IvanOS. He only want to use wikipedia for propaganda war agaist Serbia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:17, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Then please report him to the administrators, instead of distrupting Wikipedia. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:19, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

I was report him, but they say there is no enough evidence to conduct sock investigation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:21, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

But Wikipedia is not a battleground, please stop your disruptive edits. Please begin a discussion, instead of edit warring. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:24, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

but why you don't say that to croats, hungarians and albanians in wikipedia? they think this is battle ground for their battle against Serbia. why you don't stop them first? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:28, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Then please point out what edits are a part of their "battle against Serbia". I will try and stop it, if so is true. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:31, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

well you will see that when he revert my edits. just wait a bit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:35, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Then what about all those other -10 to -50 character edits? What are they about? – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:37, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

about what you speak exactly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:39, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Your edits to, amongst other articles, Glogovac, Prizren or Vitina. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:42, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

But look: [1] I have not delete that name. it is still there just not bold. bold name is only one which correspont to aticle title.

another thing here: [2] - population of that village is Orthodox. Sokac121 is Croat Catholic and he want that picture of Catholic church is there in infobox just to provoke Orthodox Serbs. I move that image to gallery now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:46, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

OK, I understand the 1st edit, but the 2nd edit should be reverted because there is no other picture of anything in that village, and the infobox is empty. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:51, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

is there rule that infobox must not be empty? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 13:54, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

No. But if there is a picture, then it should go into the infobox. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:57, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

not if it is politicly incorrect. but tell me this: why Catholic Croat want so much to have picture of Catholic church in infobox of village where people are Orthodox? is that not nationalist reason behind him? just wait and see that he will revert me there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Србија је православна (talk • contribs) 14:01, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

OK, I have enough of this. Please stop your disruptive edits. End of story. Thank you. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 14:06, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
