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! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

willing to revert

Rosce was too fast for me to self-revert alas. You might warn him, by the way. Cheers. Collect (talk) 18:24, 2 April 2012 (UTC) BTW, I can not find any 1RR warning on the talk or edit page for that article. Collect (talk) 18:26, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Nor can I find you giving Rosce a 3RR warning - as that is where he is at. Warnings to be effective must be uniformly given, Binksternet. Collect (talk) 18:59, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

I warned you not by accident, Collect. You are tendentious in your methods. Binksternet (talk) 20:19, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

And you did not warn the clear edit warrior <g>. Your definition of "tendentious" is hereby called into question. Cheers. Collect (talk) 22:24, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

I saw very quickly that you were the only warring agent at the article. You were warring to put a novel and overly broad interpretation of Oaks into the article, one that was not only not correct but one which was pushing the activist O'Brien as a spokesperson for all Irish women, which she is not. Others have seen this to be the case, agreeing with me. This experience has diminished further the little faith I had in your judgement. It was a disappointing display—your running again to your favorite refuge, BLPN, which did not deliver what you wanted this time. You wasted everybody's time for no good reason.

Bolero

The Spain bolero is really different from the Cuban bolero. In Spain they called with the name bolero in the late XVIII century, today, they called it fandango; Spain bolero used a pattern of 3/4 and Cuban bolero used the pattern 2/4, that means they are different genre with different musical structure. The person who wrote the bolero article, let it know very clear, that are two different type of bolero with the same name and different origin. The Cuban bolero is a popular genre in Latin America and the world. Which the Spain bolero is not.174.98.141.237 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:28, 2 April 2012 (UTC).

Right now the two types are both in the article even though they are not the same thing. I may split the article into two. Binksternet (talk) 22:45, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Re: PLF

I'm assuming that you got the talk page sanctions notice from another abortion-related talkpage, but it's superseded by the arb case now - both should be updated, I imagine. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:12, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I think I got it. Binksternet (talk) 23:51, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! (Forgot that template existed! I linked it to my similar user warning template.) Also thanks for being on top of things there - it does flare up every so often, doesn't it? –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:23, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Every once in a while the loony bin inmates get loose and create a stir. It takes the warden a day or so to restore order. Binksternet (talk) 05:41, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

The article is now passed as a GA. As I said in its review, I apologize for the long wait, but I've never made a secret of the fact that my schedule is hectic. Congratulations! :) Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!! (talk) 01:33, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Yay! Thanks for your review. Binksternet (talk) 01:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
