[edit] WikiCup 2012 February newsletter

Trophy.png

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was United Kingdom Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Minnesota 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. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

[edit] File:CupNoodle.jpg

Hi. I notice you've participated in image deletion when Fastily takes a rest from it. Would you please take a look at User_talk:Fastily#File:CupNoodle.jpg. Fastily is on Wikibreak, and in spite of his invitation at the top of his page to un-do any of his actions if necessary, I'm hesitant to un-delete this image due to being WP:INVOLVED. I suspect that in his flurry of closing the image deletion discussions, Fastily didn't notice that the PD rationale had been replaced by a proper fair-use rationale before he deleted it. Thanks. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:23, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

I noticed in my watch list that you restored it. Thanks! ~Amatulić (talk) 16:37, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Faryl Smith/archive1

Faryl is now an FA. I've not intention of nominating Wonderland any time soon, but I may get around to it eventually. Thanks, J Milburn (talk) 12:35, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I nominated Music of the Sun over a month ago for GAT, and it has had three supports, one comment and one oppose. I was wondering when it will be closed and what the outcome is likely to be. Thanks. AaronYou Da One 20:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] GA advice

I know you spend a bit of time working with old reviews and was wondering if you could help. Starting the Talk:The Lion King/GA2 was someones second edit and they have not touched it for nearly a month. I would normally just tag it for deletion, but someone else has left a simple comment on the review and I am not sure it would be right to delete it. Is there another way to archive a GA review without forcing the article to the bottom of the queue? It is being discussed at WT:GAN, but is not getting many responses. Thanks AIRcorn (talk) 23:08, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for sorting that out. AIRcorn (talk) 05:24, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
