Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!

Hello WonderBoy1998, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

She Wolf submission for the WikiCup

Hey there, just dropping by to let you know that I've removed the entry for She Wolf from your submissions page. It does get a little sticky at the beginning of the competition figuring out what articles are eligible for points and what are not. I do see you have put in some work on the first day of 2014, however, all articles receiving points must have also been nominated in 2014. See here for any more information you need. Sorry for the bad news, but good luck as you continue on! Gloss • talk 08:32, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Review re

Ah, for "how to fix the sentence"? I'm also bad at fixing such thing, like most native English speakers I can be aware a problem exists, but not it's solution. If I could do that better, I'd be in the FA circuit by now. I'm not out to make anyone mad, but I am a bit picky and the articles are always a bit better after the review than they were before, even if they technically already met the GA criteria. No use not doing a peer review in the process, am I right? ^-^ Have a good day, I didn't realize I got another of your article's till you replied. I don't check the name of the submitter, mostly because it doesn't matter to me. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:30, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Proposed Miley Cyrus WikiProject

Hey there, I have a favor to ask you. Back in August, I proposed the creation of a Miley Cyrus WikiProject, and the nomination page has only seen small waves of activity since then. I'd like to wrap up this proposal soon if possible, whether it is created or not, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind stopping by the nomination page and leaving some thoughts. (Don't feel obligated to support/join, there wouldn't be any hard feelings at all!)   WikiRedactor (talk) 20:47, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Trouble

Hey, I've been trying to expand the article a bit to eventually make it FA (Trouble (Natalia Kills album) and I was just wondering if you could see this interview (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/interviews/a504478/natalia-kills-interview-i-thought-i-would-be-dead-by-now.html), see the 'Themes' subsection of the section 'Composition' and just tell me what is relevant of that interview to add to the text. Thank you prism 21:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! I have expanded the article substantially. When you can, could you have a look at the new sections and content? Just a brief look at it, if you're willing. I hope I can bring it to FA this year, though no one has taken my request for peer review. prism 14:04, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Shakira

What do you think of the title/cover? I personally find it a bit strange to release a self-titled record when it's not her first album, especially when Demi, Ciara, Avril, and Beyoncé did the same thing only a few months ago. I like the cover though, and I'm glad that it doesn't look like the artwork for some generic dance record, if you know what I mean! WikiRedactor (talk) 17:08, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer   Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Thanks for uploading File:Shakira 2014 album standard version cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

  • This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
  • Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
  • The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
  • An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

WikiCup 2014 February newsletter

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:

  1.   Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
  2.   Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
  3.   WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). 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 equally.

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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer   Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist   Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato.   Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help 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!

FA congratulations

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Spinning Around to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon, please nominate it at the requests page; if you'd like to see an FA on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with 1,311 articles in Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. BencherliteTalk 08:01, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup error

Hi there- this is just a quick note to apologise for a small but important mistake in the last WikiCup newsletter; it is not 64 users who will progress to the next round, but 32. J Milburn (talk) 18:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Another request

Hello WonderBoy! I was wondering if you could leave a comment for Lo Nuestro Award for Pop Album of the Year. You don't have to if you don't want (but it has Shakira!) ;) Oh, and congratulations on your first FA! =D Erick (talk) 22:41, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Laundry Service

First of all, I've been meaning to congratulate you for bringing "Spinning Around" to FA (I know I'm a couple weeks late, but better late than never!) It reminded me of one of our earlier conversations where you mentioned your interest in nominating Laundry Service next. I definitely recommend that you go through with that, because the article is in fantastic shape and would be a great example to model other Shakira album articles after! (And Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 is getting a little bit lonely as the only FA for the project and could use a friend!)   WikiRedactor (talk) 20:02, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

@WikiRedactor: Haha thanks for that! And sure, I am just doing some final changes on the article and FA nominating it! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 15:01, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's   Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's   Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's   ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included   Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and   Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from   Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from   Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from   Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to   Czar (submissions) and   Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. 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.

Editor of the Week

  Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for breadth of featured content related to music articles. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:WikiRedactor submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate WonderBoy1998 as Editor of the Week for his outstanding work on music-related articles. As a fantastic contributor to WikiProject Shakira, he has promoted several articles to GA status (all of which started off in horrible shape and needed a significant amount of work to get where they are today), and is responsible for the project's first (and only as of this writing) GT for She Wolf. Most recently, he has successfully brought "Spinning Around" by Kylie Minogue to FA status. He also reviews other editors' GA nominations to help trim down the backlog. WonderBoy1998 is a great contributor to Wikipedia, and I'm sure that the best is yet to come!

Thanks again for your efforts! Go Phightins! 19:14, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 05:32, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
A little behind on the nominations and awards of Editor Retention but I very happy to see this. When we first encountered each other I was concerned that we not scare you off even though you were not following the rules at that time. I think this shows, at the very least, that just because an editor starts out a little rough, does not mean they are not worth keeping. Thank you for your contributions to the entire project. Keep up the good work.--Mark Miller formerly Amadscientist (talk) 17:51, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! That was definitely a rough dark period and I realised that the work I was doing was not really my thing; I'm glad I found WikiProject Shakira as it helped me use my skills in a good efficient manner. Thank you again! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 19:24, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's   Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C,   Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with   Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to   12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from   Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from   Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of   Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Red Blooded Woman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Steve Anderson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
