MOTDs (This space for rent)

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:27, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

March 2012 MOTD's award for helping the project in a difficult time

		The MOTD Barnstar
		The MOTD Barnstar is awarded to GreatOrangePumpkin for his invaluable contribution to our project, which was experiencing a period of extreme scarcity. Thank you from Motto of the day. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:58, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Additional note: Hoping that you feel comfortable with us, we hope and desire that you will want to continue contributing to our/your project. I personally think that if many of us contribute, then about ten minutes per week, by reviewing the existing nominations, and eventually adding new nominations, should be more than enough to get the project going! Once again, thank you from your Motto of the day. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:58, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Fyodor_Dostoyevsky

Hi Pumpkin, thank you for your recent reworking of Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I was a bit puzzled by some of your edits which appear to have removed chunks of salient detail and references from Dostoyevsky's biography. It's also tricky that some of your main references are in German. WP:NOENG does say "English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones". This is difficult also because it seems you have also altered certain details from the original text with the German refs (I don't speak German). I do appreciate that the article needed reworking and that you have put in a lot of work over the last week. I hope you can help me to understand the rationale. Best wishes Span (talk) 16:41, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Main page appearance: Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Moscow)

This is a note to let the main editors of Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Moscow) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 30, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 30, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Virgin Mary is a neo-Gothic church that serves as the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Moscow. Located in the Central Administrative Okrug, it is one of only two Catholic churches in Moscow and the largest in Russia. The construction of the cathedral was proposed by the Czarist government in 1894. Groundbreaking was in 1899; construction work began in 1901 and was completed ten years later. Three-aisled and built from red brick, the cathedral is based on a design by architect Tomasz Bohdanowicz-Dworzecki. The style was influenced by Westminster Abbey and Milan Cathedral. With the help of funds from Catholic parishes in Russia and its neighbouring states, the church was consecrated as a chapel for Moscow's Polish parish in 1911. In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, in order to promote state atheism, the government ordered many churches closed; the cathedral was closed in 1938. During World War II, it was threatened with demolition, and was used after the war for civil purposes, as a warehouse and then a hostel. In 1996, following the fall of communism, it once again became a church, and in 2002 it was elevated to the status of cathedral. Following an extensive and costly program of reconstruction and refurbishment, the cathedral was reconsecrated in 2005. (more...)

New Wikipedian from Clemson

Hi, I'm a student at Clemson University in South Carolina and I was wondering if you could help me out in getting acclimated to Wikipedia. I have been editing and writing the article on the Henry Whitfield House in my hometown of Guilford, CT. Here's the link to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Whitfield_House Any feedback on formatting, citations, content, or anything else would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your time! Tigerpride3Tigerpride3 (talk) 01:27, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

St. Andrew's Anglican Church, Moscow

GOP,

Great work on the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception ...

I almost never edit FAs figuring that a casual edit more often hurts than helps, but in this case I'll add under See also the nearby St. Andrew's Anglican Church, Moscow. I'm also surprised that the St Paul's French Church at Lubyanka doesn't have an article. BTW, are these 3 the only "officially recognized" non-Orthodox Christian churches in Moscow? I know there are some Baptist churches in Moscow, but they are not known for their buildings and seem to keep a low profile.

All the best,

Smallbones (talk) 17:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your compliment! :) I will create that church article in future. No, there are more than just 3 non-Orthodox, but it is true that there are only 2 (one is now a museum) Catholic churches in Moscow. The other one is very small, so basically this is the only "true" Catholic church in Moscow and in whole Russia.--GoP_T^CN 17:56, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

And forgot to say that I appreciate your edits on St. Andrew's Anglican Church, Moscow. It is not that far away from being listed as a Good Article, btw! :). Regards.--GoP_T^C_{N 18:01, 30 March 2012 (UTC)}

Your GA nomination of Article

The article Article you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Article for things which need to be addressed. Ishtar456 (talk) 22:45, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

I have made some additional comments and have asked for a second opinion as I have done a lot of edits myself. Good luck, I hope this passes.--Ishtar456 (talk) 22:45, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

• The "on hold" notice probably wasn't the right one, but they did not have one for a second opinion. It is the first time I have asked for one, so I just found out what happens is that it appears on the nomination page as if it has not yet been reviewed, but who ever picks it up will go to the discussion that we have had. Take care, --Ishtar456 (talk) 22:57, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

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.
