WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner... edit

Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.

  • We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
  • In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
  • The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Shaiwatna Kupratakul edit

Hi,

With this edit, you reinstated unreferenced information about a living person, which contravenes wikipedia policy WP:V.

I realise it was just a 'revert', but per WP:BURDEN, the principle applies.

Please can you undo your edit, and let's discuss it on the article talk page? Thanks,

Not likely. Has the bunny checked all the refs on the article - including the Thai ones - to verify this info is not ref'd? Hardly looks made up at all. Legacypac (talk) 10:39, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I Just saw what you did and did the same. He's on WP:ANI accussed of being WP:NOTHERE so, logical conclusion, revert. TF { Contribs } 10:41, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please consider 'burden'.

You've added that he was "Lecturer at Department of Physics, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand, during 1970–1982", but you cannot provide a reference for it.

And so forth.

If you can't provide a verification, it shouldn't be on the article. Per policy.

Do you disagree?

If not, please undo and we can discuss it further on the article talk page. Thanks. 88.104.24.116 (talk) 11:09, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please Don't bring the WP:WAR Here Please. Thanks, TF { Contribs } 11:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
No war. I'm just asking you nicely to please 'undo' an edit in which you added unreferenced info to a BLP. Is all.
I won't bother you again on your talk page. I hope you will undo your edit. Best, and goodbye, Igor the facetious xmas bunny (talk) 11:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Pending changes on Anthony Hopkins edit

Your use of pending changes on Anthony Hopkins seems like you where using it to edit war rather reject edits in accordance with the criteria. Please ensure you follow the criteria in the future. Thank you, Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 12:06, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I Did try to reject changes, but the other user Reverted my edits and so the cycle continued until I hit the WP:3RR and Didn't want to get into any more trouble. TF { Contribs } 13:42, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
If the content isn't covered by those criteria you need to undo it normally or accept it then undo it normally. You cannot use the pending changes feature to edit war. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 01:10, 29 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
