WikiCup 2013 February newsletter

Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:

Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:

Sven Manguard (submissions), whose Portal:Massachusetts is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores.
Sasata (submissions), whose Mycena aurantiomarginata was the first featured article this year.
Muboshgu (submissions) and Wizardman (submissions), who both claimed points for articles in the Major League Baseball tie-breakers topic, the first topic points in the competition.
Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), who claimed for the first full good topic with the Casting Crowns studio albums topic.

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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. 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.

DYK nomination for Tayyare Apartments

Hi Antidiskriminator! I see that you helped to fix the problem with the ref for DYK. First of all, I wasn't aware of that criteria before. "You never know". Furthermore, I wasn't at home when BlueMoonSet posted his/her claim. Sorry for the inconvienence and thanks a lot for your contribution. Cheers. CeeGee 20:02, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

DYK confusion

Hi,

I was a little confused in trying to verify the hook at Template:Did you know nominations/Independent International Commission on Kosovo. Could you clarify for me? Best, Star767 (talk) 23:47, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aromanian? Greek!

Hi Antidiscriminator. Would you like to pay attention to the dispute on the article Petar Ichko. Pyraichmes claimes that Aromanian and Greek were and are one and the same people, speculating he can not open provided by me source, which denies this theory. Please, share with us your opinion. Thanks in advance. Jingiby (talk) 18:43, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sanjak of Kruševac, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zaim (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.

Nerodime

Dear Antidiskriminator, could you give me a rationale and proof of why you edited the name of the Nerodime archaeological site in the Roman Period Sites in Kosovo article page. I gave proof of my writing, and it is an academic publication, not just any nationalistic slander, which evidences what I wrote. Could you please respond and tell me what gives you the right to take such a step, being that I don't understand it. Regards, --Atdheu (talk) 02:10, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response:

  Here I pointed to the WP:COMMONNAME policy and provided links which prove that Nerodimlje is the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. Please don't continue to replace English common names with Albanian because it is against wikipedia policy.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 02:16, 17 March 2013  (UTC)

Regardless, I have not edited anything that is not proven. If the WP:COMMONAME policy states that that settlement should be named as such, then I think that we should start a discussion page where we could forward a discussion on how these places should be called. Note that you are referring to a place of inhabitance and not an archaeological site, as I have referred. Please make your edits objective, because the stance that you have taken does not reflect that, --Atdheu (talk) 02:21, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Voynuks

On 17 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Voynuks, which you created or substantially expanded.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Voynuks. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.
