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.

Landcruisin'

Hello:

Another Wikipedia user requested a second copy edit of your article Landcruisin' at the Guild of Copy Editors Page feeling that the first copy edit was inadequate. I agreed and my copy edit has now been completed.

You will notice that I have archived one of the article’s citations (#1). I suggest that you archive the rest of the article’s URLs as time allows. This ensures that the article's references are available "forever" and that it doesn’t develop “dead links” over time. The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the URL in the citation and paste it in the “Save Page Now” box on the archive.org site and click save. This creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new URL to add to the original citation. If you look at the URL I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new URL to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl=http etc|archivedate=ll May 2015}}. Not all websites allow archiving - CBS TV news and the NY Times are two I've come across, so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Nightclubbing

Hi, thanks for your message. I'll see what I can do on Nightclubbing – it's probably not the easiest album to find information on, and I think I've already added most of the reviews that I could find: there ought to be a Rolling Stone review from 1981, but it depends if that issue is in the British Library – as I have already indicated, there are no copies of Sounds or Record Mirror from that period. And I'm not sure how open Grace Jones was to doing interviews, so sources might be scarce. Still, I'll have a quick look: I'm in the UK throughout June and I should be able to pop in to the BL once or twice while I am there. Terrific album and it deserves a better article... most of the editing on it seems to revolve around genre warring in the infobox. :-/ Richard3120 (talk) 15:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it's definitely hard to find information for this one, which is odd since it is considered to be her definitive LP. I appreciate your effort already and hopefully you can find some stuff. I'd say search for Slave to the Rhythm, because some interesting stuff could pop up, like any making-of features or something, but that's too much to ask. I've started collecting some online sources for Nightclubbing and actually found a The Vinyl Factory piece that was written in advance of the 2014 reissue, with some interviews that talk about the studio sessions. I'd say it is my favourite Grace record. Warm Leatherette isn't excellent but is good, and I think Living My Life runs out of steam after the four first tracks. Prism | (talk) 18:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I think I'm in broad agreement with you on Grace's albums – certainly in the UK Nightclubbing is considered her finest record, and it's definitely my favourite. Anyway, unfortunately critical acclaim doesn't always translate into creating GA and FA articles, because of the lack of interviews and other material if the artist is something of an enigma and refuses to talk to the press, like Ms Jones. You are right though, there may well be retrospective "making of" articles in Q and Mojo around the 2014 reissue, so I'll have a look and see if there is anything. I suspect most articles written around Slave to the Rhythm will concentrate on the fact that particular album was essentially a conceit created by Trevor Horn, Paul Morley and the ZTT label as an exercise in making an entire album from one song and an interview, so perhaps it might be better to focus on Living My Life, which along with Warm Leatherette is closer musically and temporally to Nightclubbing as part of the "Compass Point trilogy". Richard3120 (talk) 19:26, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Richard3120: I've been searching a bit and I found the complete NME 1981 review from an Island Records minisite, as well as the High Fidelity and Black Music reviews from that year (thanks to Dan, which gave me tips on how to search in Google Books). I also went to RocksBackpages and found two interviews that were published near the album release, in July, in NME and The Face. Perhaps these have some information on the conception of the album! It would be great if we could find some Wikipedia editor that's a subscriber. I could also try and see if there are available copies on eBay of those magazines, but 9/10 times they're overpriced and postage is quite a bit to pay. Prism | (talk) 19:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

The NME review is presumably the one already referenced in the article: a quotation from it appears in the critical reception section. The July interview from the same magazine will be in the British Library, so I will have a look for that in the next couple of weeks. Issues of The Face, however, are difficult to come by unless you overpay on eBay, as you rightly say. Richard3120 (talk) 22:51, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Richard3120: I found it in this vintage magazine shop and it's not too overpriced, but I don't think I'd be spending 8 pounds on something that I don't know is worthwhile. Prism | (talk) 22:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello Prism, I found the July 1981 NME interview: as I expected, it doesn't say too much about the record apart from the fact that "Art Groupie" is somewhat autobiographical. It's just a one-page piece, half of which is talking about her childhood in Jamaica and growing up in New York – apparently she was considering becoming a teacher at one stage?! There's also a section where she talks about her relationship with Jean Paul Goude and whether they are married or not (the answer is apparently both yes and no) and the son they had together. But really nothing substantive that would help with the article. Likewise, her 2014 memoirs written with Paul Morley unsurprisingly focus more on her background, her modelling, her relationships and her art, rather than the music... even when she does talk about the records it's normally from the point of view of the videos made for them, or the photo shoots. It does at least contain a paragraph about the writing of "Pull Up to the Bumper", so I can add that in, plus another couple of reviews I found from Zigzag and Record Collector. According to the Rolling Stone indexes, the album was never reviewed on release, and there is a solitary interview in the issue dated August 23, 1981... again, I'm not holding my breath for any great revelations if we get hold of it. Nothing in either Q or Mojo around the album's 2014 reissue. Richard3120 (talk) 14:36, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

I've added pretty much everything that I've been able to find, so if you want to add the High Fidelity and Black Music reviews, go ahead. The article still needs a lot of copyediting: in particular the section about the singles needs reviewing as I think (a) different singles were released in different territories around the world and at different times, and at present it only seems to be talking about US releases, (b) I am not convinced "Feel Up" was ever released as a single. It seems to have come out on a promotional 7" (probably for release to club DJs, as it's about the most dancey song on the album), and then as a B-side to either "Use Me" or "Pull Up to the Bumper", depending on the territory. Richard3120 (talk) 23:10, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Richard3120 Thank you for your hard work. I think expanding the article will leave my priorities now, but perhaps soon I'll try and make it a little better. Prism | (talk) 19:53, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes, no problems – I'll probably work on it on and off: I've found a couple more reviews, and I'd like to check out those singles and take out some of the more POV statements ("one of the greatest commercial triumphs of her entire career", etc.). Richard3120 (talk) 21:15, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The-Dream, cut.png

A tag has been placed on File:The-Dream, cut.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

March 2017 WikiCup newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:

• Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
• Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
• 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
• Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:

• Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
• 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
• Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
• Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

WikiCup 2017 July newsletter

The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.

Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them.

WikiCup 2018

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:

• Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
• FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
• Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
• Ceranthor, Numerounovedant, Carbrera, Farang Rak Tham and Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

A possible return

Just saw you've eduted again within the past few days after over a year of inactivity. If this marks your return to Wikipedia, then by all means welcome back :D! You've been missed either way. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:50, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for noticing (it's been well over a year too), SNUGGUMS! Hope everything's been fine with you. As of now it most likely won't be a full-fledged return, but I definitely would still like to bring Trouble up to FA status. Prism | (talk) 11:02, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
