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. 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!

Dear EuroCarGT: I came across this Afc submission which you declined. Did you intend to copy all of this material from another page into the submission rather than just linking to it, or was this an accident? —Anne Delong (talk) 09:29, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hey Anne Delong! May you clarify on this, I've declined this because it didn't meet WP:NMUSIC during that time. According to the page history, I've only declined it and didn't put anything else in it. Best, ///EuroCarGT 20:20, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Re:December 2013 North American ice storm
I'm sorry. I would normally love to help, but I've been very busy lately and have several other things (namely tornadoes and NASCAR) to work on when I get time to get on here. If I get some free time, though, I might drop in and help a little. Thanks for taking the initiative to expand this article. United States Man (talk) 02:28, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

File:Pomare II, engraving by R. Hicks.jpg
Anyway to somehow flip File:Pomare II, engraving by R. Hicks.jpg and create a separate file with Pomare facing the left under File:Pomare II, engraving by R. Hicks (left).jpg. Leave original as is. This does not violate anything since many different version of this image exist with some facing right and lefy. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:47, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Ramoma
Can you remove the frame of this image and upload it onto File:Ranavalona II, photograph.png with a transparent background (I already done the description and everything)? I don't want to upload the image with the frame onto the commons because I don't believe there is any purpose for it and doing this will be just skip the intermediary step of extracting the image from the frame, so instead of having two files we have only one.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:49, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
