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.

Katy Hudson (album)

Regarding this edit, Noam Friedlander's biography actually doesn't say anything about Katy Hudson singles..... at least not on the pages given in the citation. I completely understand where you're coming from, though. It does however confirm a March 6, 2001 release of the album. What sources (not counting KatyHudson.ca, as it is a fansite) talk about singles from the album? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 15:52, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

On another note, I personally have no problems with using Amazon.com for release date but since the main Katy Perry article is itself under GA review right now, though I'm not sure if the reviewer would find it reliable. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 15:56, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

One of the biographies utilized in the article support the information given on the album's singles. I don't remember which one now, but one of them does. And if you have your doubts on that, just ask Peter... prism^△ 16:08, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

I'll also look into other biographies, but the only one I can think of off hand is the one by a KatyCat named Tara Reimer (author of KatyHudson.ca). I've talked with Tara personally, and am not doubting her credibility as a writer, but the fact that it is a fan-made site makes it unacceptable for WP:RS. I only want the best possible sources for Ms. Hudson's main article as it goes through GAN. My goal is to have it as "Today's Featured Article" on October 25th this year for her 30th birthday. This means I would have to get it to FA status at least a month ahead of that day. If any sources are deemed unusable during GAN, then they certainly wouldn't be accepted during FAC. I'll ask Peter what he thinks when he addresses the "Katy Hudson and The Matrix" section of the article on using Amazon.com. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 16:30, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Yes I already knew your plan, which would actually be a lovely tribute to her. I completely understand what you are saying, no problem. prism^△ 17:02, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Katy Perry GAN

Hey bud,

Just wanted to say thanks for referring Shane to WP:RSN. Take caution with him: he doesn't mean harm, but can come off as disruptive during reviews. Take a look at the review for Lady Gaga's Do What U Want for an example. As shown, when I was working with IndianBio to get it up to GA, his interjection was rather uncalled for. My guess is that he's doing this since IndianBio and I found many flaws in the Justin Bieber article (which reviewer initially overlooked) during its GAN and suggested that the reviewer fail the nomination. At the time, references were a disaster, prose needed lots of work, and article was unstable. Because if this, the Biebs failed miserably for GA. It didn't surprise me that Peter got pissed with Shane's interjection for Katy's nomination. Peter also was the reviewer for "Do What U Want".

XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 17:39, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

@XXSNUGGUMSXX: I understand what you're trying to say. When I started editing on Wikipedia (circa 2008), I was arrogant as well and my edits were awful, just fancruft-filled. I've seen Shane's edits before this GAR and he does come off as disruptive, however he needs to control himself. His activity on the Katy review indicates toward a "If I can't have it no one else can"-ish attitude (and he's clutching at straws right now, with HitFix and Hollywood Reporter). Someone needs to tell him this; judging on my own experience, it won't be long before some admin blocks him.

P.S.: Hope you don't mind the minor copyediting I'm giving to the article. I won't change a lot of stuff right now because we don't need stability issues for the GAR. And I hope I can be a part of the future FAC, even if I'm not I'll try to help with anything needed (an FA for our article will be a valuable addition for Katy's WP). prism^△ 18:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah your changes weren't a big issue. I'm not sure how often you've contributed to her main article, but I still do hope to get it to FA in time for her birthday to have it as "Today's Featured Article" for her 30th birthday. As the top contributor, I'll definitely let you, Giacobbe, WikiRedactor, and other KatyCats know when I've submitted it to FAC. In regards to sources, Hollywood Reporter is by all means a viable source, HitFix might not be FA-worthy but is certainly not a bad source. As far as fancruft, IndianBio and I could rave all day about Reece Leonard on Lady Gaga articles (particularly those from Artpop), and Shane's FAC for Miley Cyrus faced strong opposition and a quick withdrawal. Rather inappropriate nomination to begin with as he wasn't even among the top contributors. Even though I helped Lady Lotus fix up refs for Miley during GAN, I'm thinking about opening GAR on that due to prose and reference issues (which have deteriorated since passing for GA). He's certainly not as disruptive as user SergiSmiler (notably in Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears articles), but is still at a worrisome level. As for Ms. Hudson, I've frankly worked my ass off on her article more than any other article on Wikipedia, and have put as much blood, sweat, and tears into it ensuring top quality as Calvin did for Rihanna's "S&M" (I see it failed two GAN's and nine FAC's before becoming FA). XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 19:05, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Since I was pinged here, I just want to say that whatever help you need getting Miley back to GA standards, I'll do whatever I can. While Shane means well, his editing still needs to seriously improve. He needs to maybe take it easy on the mass editing. I'll check the references again. Let me know what I can do! LADY LOTUS • TALK 19:15, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, "S&M" is a perfect example of dedication. I'm also opening my first FAC by the end of this month (max.), for Trouble. I'm currently working on it. prism^△ 19:40, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: Trouble

Hello, sorry for the late reply, I've been travelling recently so I've not been as active as I hoped. You've delivered a strong article which definitely has no major issues and which I believe is ready for FAC. My only possible reservation is that the sections are quite short, but I know this is because you are working with limited sources. One thing the reviewers of my 4 FAC encouraged me to do was to get the most out of the available sources as there is often a lot in them than you think. Although I am very aware of how difficult that is with this article, I would advise you to just go through the sources and see if the article is lacking anything, after which I should be able to assist a close prose review. Best, —JennKR | ☎ 00:00, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Music charts for Portugal

So, if acharts.us for you english users is not reliable, what source is reliable if I want to put a reference on the 38th position of Paramore's Aint't It Fun on the Portuguese single chart? --Zack Tartufo (talk) 21:11, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

@Zack Tartufo: I'm not an English user, I'm actually Portuguese. But the use of acharts.us is discouraged on WP:BADCHARTS due to unknown methodology, and there's no Portuguese Singles Chart according to Associação Fonográfica Portuguesa. The only thing similar is the Portuguese Digital Songs (based on iTunes sales), listed by Billboard magazine, and—I've checked—"Ain't It Fun" didn't enter that chart. Thank you, though. — prism △ 22:00, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Well, I said "English users" because we are in the English Wikipedia and I'm from the Italian Wikipedia, where aCharts.us is considered reliable. It's a pity that some charts are ignored here, it seems I have to resign myself to that. --Zack Tartufo (talk) 12:20, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

@Zack Tartufo: aCharts shouldn't be considered reliable anywhere. They don't give any indication that their information is obtained from official music charts and they also invent some charts (Portuguese Singles Chart does not exist). — prism △ 13:14, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Actually, the charts I see in aCharts and in the official music charts are always the same, apart the Portuguese and the Bulgarian ones (that seem to don't exist). --Zack Tartufo (talk) 14:45, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" certification

I'm not sure how else I could prove their platinum certification for "Ain't It Fun", RIAA's paramore certification database is outdated with the most recent certification having been awarded in 2011. The official band twitters have tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/paramore/status/479294931874623489 // https://twitter.com/yelyahwilliams/status/480549073909739520 AND here they are receiving the plaques: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bquz0RGCIAEhv_l.jpg...

Hello, hoping the following is a reliable source. ABC News recently did a piece in where they stated 'Ain't It Fun' has become platinum and even have footage from a celebration the band had in regards to that. In addition, the plaques from RIAA are also featured wherein the 'Ain't It Fun' single art in displayed which looks the same as the single art that has been posted before on the page but time and time again, removed. This is all within the first two minutes of the video. Again, I appreciate you cleaning up the page, thanks for your work!

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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!

Your GA nomination of Mirrors (Natalia Kills song)

The article Mirrors (Natalia Kills song) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Mirrors (Natalia Kills song) for comments about the article. Well done!

Ashley Tisdale

Hey Prism, it's been a while! Hope you're doing great! I'm here to ask you a favor - I believe I'm ready to nominate the article Ashley Tisdale for FA again. But before I do that, I'd really appreciate if you could a time and take a look at the article. I've requested for a peer review already so maybe you could put your inputs in there. I've been working on this article for years and years, and my main goal on Wikipedia is to get it promoted to FA! Thanks in advance and let me know if you ever need any help with an article :) decodet. (talk) 12:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey Decodet! You know what, I thought about you yesterday, because I'm also planning on opening an FAC for Trouble (Natalia Kills album) (which I'm restructuring for the fifth time now) during this month. I'll leave some comments later. By the way, since you like Paramore, I thought you'd be interested in knowing I got "Ain't It Fun" to GA! pedro | talk 12:49, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Let me know when you have it nominated so I'll give it a look! Yes, I saw that! Thanks for that. Paramore's articles are usually bad so it's nice to someone trying to make them better :) decodet. (talk) 14:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Merge discussion

Hi Prism. A few days back, I had proposed that Body Language Live be merged into Money Can't Buy. Unfortunately, it is a rather obscure article and its talk page is rarely visited. I think it will never reach consensus at this rate. To add to that, I cannot wait for 30 days to make a bold merge since I've got the new article ready in my sandbox. I'm not aiming to canvas at all, but I hope you can review the proposal and give your opinion. Thanks! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 15:35, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Wikicup semifinalists interview request

As you may know, I write for the Signpost, basically Wikipedia's newsletter. I'd like to do a feature on the semifinalists, would you be willing to provide, say, 250 to 500 words saying: (1.) Why did you join the Wikicup? (2.) What you you hope to get out of it? and (3.) Which of your contributions to the Wikicup are your favourites?

Not quite sure how I'll order them - I'll probably make the ed17 decide, as, you know, Conflict of Interest: I am a semifinalist. I'd imagine point order or alphabetical or the like.

Can you please reply at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-07-30/Wikicup#Prism? Thanks! Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 00:24, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Destiny Fulfilled

LOL. I had no idea you were a Destiny's Child fan. I'm doing the same thing the whole summer. I started editing the articles about Destiny Fulfilled and can't stop listenning to the songs. It is actually the first album I'm listenning to by DC. I've been only a Beyonce fan by now. And your name actually made me listen to Prism. I swear. And I love that album. My love is love (talk) 20:01, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

My love is love, Actually, I'm not a fan of DC. I'm a Beyoncé fan (just like you) and I own all of her live/studio albums, except I Am... Sasha Fierce and the self-titled LP. Don't know why, actually the latter is one of my favorite albums ever. I don't even know why I own the Destiny Fulfilled CD. It's probably just one of the many CDs I regretted buying (I found an Emily Osment CD in my shelf some months ago)... And that's great! While Prism isn't half of what I expected—I'm not sure if you had heard her interviews, where she said that she would do a dark album, more mature, etc—it's a good evolution from Teenage Dream, I suppose. What do you think of Beyoncé? pedro | talk 20:09, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Lol. But you should give it a try if you haven't listened to it completely. In my country you can rarely find physical copies of CDs to buy so I don't have the opportunity to do so. I would give everything just to buy a physical copy of at least one album/DVD. However, I have all of her albums on my phone. Lol (YouTube). I especially LOVE the live albums. And I think Prism is great but definitely far more different from what she described it. My favorites are "Birthday", "Unconditionally", "Legendary Lovers" and "Walking on Air". And I've been listening to at least one song from Beyoncé from day 1 it was released. It's definitely my favorite album so far. At first, I hated some of the songs like "Yonce", "Partition", "Flawless" but after listening 2 or 3 times they became my all-time favorites. Plus the music videos really make the songs better. The first day I watched the video for "Pretty Hurts" 7 times. I wonder if a deluxe edition or some extra songs will be released in near future though. And which are your favorite songs from Beyoncé? My love is love (talk) 21:01, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

My love is love Oh. Where do you live? You could always try ordering from Amazon, which is where I buy a lot of my physical albums. I live in Portugal, but those are still a bit expensive. And, I totally agree with you! To quote Ms. Bey herself, it's truly an immersive experience to watch the album and just... feel her creativity, see her distance herself from other popstars. Commercially, it's slowing down, and she doesn't give a flying fuck about her singles ("XO" and "Pretty Hurts" bombed). I'm still satisfied, though. My favorite songs are "Haunted", "Partition", "Drunk in Love", "XO", "Jealous", "Flawless", "Pretty Hurts"... the whole album basically. Video-wise, the videos for "Ghost", "Haunted", "Partition" and "Flawless". pedro | talk 21:15, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I live in Macedonia and the currency is Macedonian denar which is 0.016 euros so many of them are really expensive for me. The album is slowing down but its sales worldwide must stand at 4.5 million by now (By January it had 3m sold) which is still quite a lot. I think that the underperformance of the singles was mostly due to lack of promotion. I'm sure that if she sings "Pretty Hurts" at the VMAs or some other show it will be a hit. Wow, we share many of our favorite songs and videos. My love is love (talk) 21:38, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

My love is love To be honest I think she just doesn't care. And that's good somehow... She already made a big statement and she produced a worldwide phenomenon. It doesn't get much better than that, so we should be happy. And yeah! Do you want to work on a Beyoncé/DC article together? pedro | talk 22:00, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I totally agree. I'm currently working on "Cater 2 U" and after I finish with that one we can work together on "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Say My Name", "Haunted" or whatever you want. My love is love (talk) 22:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

@SNUGGUMS: Hi there Snuggums! I'm currently taking an indefinite wikibreak. I'm a bit discouraged relatively to improving the article further because due to the lack of sources for it, which I believe will keep me away from my goal. School is starting soon so I won't have time to work hard on Trouble, but I'll try to occasionally pop up on Wiki and take it to FAC on mid-December. Thank you for noting my absence, though. pedro | talk 21:33, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:

1. Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
2. Casliber (submissions) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
3. Czar (submissions) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
4. Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
5. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
6. 12george1 (submissions) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
7. Sturmvogel 66 (submissions), the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
8. Bloom6132 (submissions), the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Matty.007 (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), WikiRedactor (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), Yellow Evan (submissions), Prism (submissions) and Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Good Girl Gone Bad FAC

I would be very happy to see your input on the FAC, thanks in advance. :) — Tomíca^(T2ME) 16:49, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...

Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.

• We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
• In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
• The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

Thanks for uploading File:Natalia Kills - Kill My Boyfriend.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
