WikiCup 2015 March newsletter

One of Adam Cuerden’s several quality restorations during round 1

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.

Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by Cyclonebiskit (submissions), and two each by MPJ-DK (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), and Cas Liber (submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by Adam Cuerden (submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by Cwmhiraeth (submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with J Milburn (submissions) completing nine.

WikiCup 2016 March newsletter (update)

Along with getting the year wrong in the newsletter that went out earlier this week, we did not mention (as the bot did not report) that Cas Liber (submissions) claimed the first Featured Article Persoonia terminalis of the 2016 Wikicup.

Perth Tropical Low sources

I have put a section for this system directly onto the monthly archive page Talk:2015–16 Australian region cyclone season/February--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 21:56, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

@Keith Edkins: Thank you so much! @Jason Rees: Here you go! :) Typhoon2013 01:48, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you as always for providing the sources @Keith Edkins: - I honestly dont know what we would do without you and your archiver which is used by a few members of the international community as well as us. Anyway Typhoon2013, I am in two minds about this system - on one hand I can not pick and choose which tropical lows we monitor/dont monitor and you have provided the evidence needed to call it a tropical low. However, I can not help but notice that they did not expect it to develop at all which makes me wonder if it was assigned a U number at all. For now keep it in the article and I will have a chat with a few contacts at the BoM soon.Jason Rees (talk) 22:13, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Typhoon Koppu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page LLCC (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.

Koppu

Hey there. Please don't copy and paste articles in the future to move articles. Wiki works when we can see the edit history, and by copying it, you destroyed the edit history for the article. I fixed it so the current Koppu article has a continuous history from when it was first made, but please refrain from doing this in the future. If you can't move a page, ask an admin, and they'll be able to do it. There are several administrators in the project, including myself, User:Juliancolton, and User:Cyclonebiskit. (and many others who are retired or semi-retired) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:10, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Re: Naming section format

For starters the addition of the retired names have been a source of a dispute, between me and a couple of the other members of the project. As they feel that the facebook source is not reliable enough for various reasons - while I strongly disagree with this, I feel that there are bigger battles to fight. As a result of this I have agreed to a compromise position, where we can keep the article titles without the (2015) but we can not list them as retired until either the final report or a formal press release from the WMO is issued. As for the format of the naming section I feel that we can do a better job with them without too much hassle. For example do we really need to state the JMA or PAGASAs full name two or three times in the same section? As a result that is why I would prefer to see the retired names alongside the section rather than in their own little section. I also do not see the need to have the italics when per WP:Italics they are only used for emphasise of things.Jason Rees (talk) 23:01, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

I RVd it as I do not see the need for the retirement stuff to have a second paragraph. If you really feel that a second paragraph is required - try splitting it before where it goes "The name Nonoy....".Jason Rees (talk) 18:58, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Scratch that it kinda looks better with two paragraphs.Jason Rees (talk) 19:02, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I feel happier yeah... But I need to find some time to play with the overall paragraph. As for the international names there is no need for a second paragraph and it will be debatable from year to year if the PAGASA one needs a second paragraph.Jason Rees (talk) 12:26, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

The format looks ok as it goes back but it just needs a few tweaks to ensure that it is sourced up etc as a result dont go further back just yet.Jason Rees (talk) 23:25, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
