WikiCup 2012 September newsletter

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Canada Sasata (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, 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.

Que Hiciste

Hey Zac! Sorry for not helping around, college has been keeping me busy. Anyways, I tried looking for the year-end charts, but the song didn't perform well-enough on Hot Latin Songs or Dance Songs to appear on the list and the Latin Pop year-end for 2007 doesn't appear on the site for some reason. If it's alright, I at least included info regarding the recording for the salsa version of the song, but I don't know if it's relevant. Erick (talk) 02:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's alright. Me and Harold have been working at it. I didn't realize the salsa version was re-recorded! Of course it's relevant! Thanks for adding the info, I had no idea. Hope everything's going well! Zac  02:30, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha yeah well, if you ever listened to it, you could tell by the instruments and the added lyrics to the song. :P They used that version on my tropical/salsa radio station here in FL. BTW, I also added accolades to the song as well. Erick (talk) 04:07, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you don't mind, but I fixed the indentation of your comment in the oppose section of the aforementioned RfA. The numbering would otherwise have been thrown off by the bullet point.

Taylor Swift discography

Please explain to me a logical reason why that template needs to be atop the page. That page has only been edited 7 times today and nothing is major. The template itself says to remove it if the page hasn't been edited "in several hours", and you just want it to stay on the page permanently? That template is used when a user is making a major overhaul over a short period of time to avoid edit conflicts. It also says "If you are the editor who added this template, please be sure to remove it or replace it with 'Underconstruction' between editing sessions", which you neglect to do. (not that it really matters because no "major" edit appears to be happening) NYSMtalk page 23:54, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to be rude. I just realized I added the wrong template. Zac [on the go]  03:17, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

advice

Hey, I don't really know what to do here... Can i have some advice. People keep changing the info-box picture of the character article Sharon Newman and also making other edits that aren't needed and they keep doing it, and they also keep using a non-free promotional photograph for the actress, Sharon Case's article. What should I do? They keep persisting. Please tell me what I should do. Thanks —ArreJLover 03:36, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the image on Sharon Case. If they add it again, I'd report them. Zac  03:39, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Zac. Yea, I think i will. I mean look at this: [1]...so annoying. —ArreJLover 03:41, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is it possible for you to delete this it's sooo pointless. —ArreJLover 03:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional DAT dates

Hi Zac. A while ago two additional tour dates were added to the Australian leg. It's not confirmed on her official website because they were added because of the overwhelming response to her initial planned shows. Even though it's not on her diary please leave it. Tickets are out. I bought three for the second added concert to Melbourne anyway..Lol. —ArreJLover 09:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the reason they haven't been added yet, she's added second dates to the tour that are on the post. Her site is just a complete mess when it comes to putting out dates. Since the source is reliable (and not just the damn website where you can buy tickets, like some tried to keep adding), I think it's fine for the time being. Zac  15:56, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Kthanks. Jennifer Lopez page looks nice with the musical artist info-box. :) —ArreJLover 08:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Get on GTalk. Zac  08:53, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I just got a new laptop... i haven't got Gtalk on it yet. Jennifer Lopez page looks great apart from the "Image" and "legacy"....Btw, why can't you just use this Legacy/public image? :\ i worked hard on it and it's better then the sections present. But i won't add it cause u'll just remove it. Sigh —ArreJLover 06:15, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Peer Review

Hello. I have nominated the article Because of You (Kelly Clarkson song) as a FA candidate. If you are willing, I would like to get your review of the article. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks a lot. — My December (talk) 15:14, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glassheart

What do you think of the snippets. I think its about 3/5. Some really strong songs but some not so. It needed more features I think. There's clearly something missing on some of the songs e.g. "Fireflies". Don't like the credits (the way they've been released!), haha I know it sounds petty but I hope they appear better in the album booklet! — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 00:04, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it sounds amazing! I've never really been a fan of Leona, but I started following her a bit after "Collide" came out, and then "Trouble" just slayed me. "Glassheart" sounds like the best for me (and yes, I've listened to the full version.) We'll see, they are a bit weird. Hopefully, they're a bit awkward. Zac  00:07, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've been dying to hear the full version! How did you do that? I'm in love with "Un Love Me", "Fireflies", "I to You" and "When it Hurts"! It does sound like a proper follow up to Spirit. I'll pretend Echo was Leona's Born this Way. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 00:11, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I love the whole album. Its her best by far! Could you comment at the discussion about critical reviews at Talk:Glassheart if you get chance? — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 15:57, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the Years Combine

Greetings, Zac. I have reverted the name change of All the Years Combine -- for now, anyway -- and created a new talk page section about this at Talk:All the Years Combine#Title. Feel free to join in the discussion there. — Mudwater (Talk) 02:22, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. I have replied on the article's talk. I didn't see the change as being controversial. I probably should have explained the page move a bit better in the summary, and I will do that in the future. Thanks again. Zac (talk) 03:18, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Zac. Any thoughts on this? If yes, please post there. Thanks. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:18, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zac

Hi Zac. I just slightly changed some things on Jennifer Lopez's Image and Legacy...before u revert, pls have a look ;). Thanks. —ArreJLover 01:49, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image is looking good. Going through legacy, I'm noticing that some of the content is repeated earlier in the article. Starting on fixing it up. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:03, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok . I also added Instruments: vocals and conga. What is repeated? —ArreJLover 02:04, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Where's the source for the latter? And I'm not sure if vocals count as an instrument. You know where you should be right now... Zac (talk · contribs) 02:07, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive me i still need to download Google talk on my new laptop. Do you have skype? Yes vocals do count as an instrument. I was going to source it but then how? I hate putting sources in info-boxes. We all know she plays them. —ArreJLover 02:10, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do. First five letters of my last name, followed by a Z and a 28. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:12, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Why did you split Legacy again. Too many headings. Just make it one section. I liked the wax figure pic in Image. —ArreJLover 02:14, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the time being. It's easier to edit that way. Just removed it for the time being. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:16, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
google talk is being such a bitch and it's not working *tears*. Can we pls go on FB even tho u dont like it. —ArreJLover 02:22, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at List of The Bold and the Beautiful cast members, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage newer editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. Mark Arsten (talk) 22:41, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll become discouraged if you label my edits as vandalism :) Mark Arsten (talk) 22:42, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pink Truth About Love Tour editing.....

Why have you reverted the information I changed on there? Pink is playing New York Madison Square Garden, along with the extra date at Munich... all of which can be found on the official truth about love tour site. So, when I add something please could you not change it? I didn't spend my time doing it for fun.

re: m. 2012

the 'm' is redundant when he is already listed as her 'spouse', and yes i'm quite aware that 2012 is the present, but when people read it in a 1 year or 5 years from now, it won't be 2012 anymore, leaving present on there is an open ended way of saying they are still together.Lady Lotus (talk) 02:39, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't 1 or 5 years from now. As I said, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. "M" is not redundant. It's the proper way to list married couples. I don't know where you're getting your information from, but it's all wrong. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying wikipedia is a crystal ball, I'm saying when people read it in a time thats NOT 2012, it needs to be "present" or changed if they get divorced. and yes, the 'm' standing for 'married' when he is her 'spouse' which only applies when people get married. it is A way to list married couples, but not in infoboxes. Lady Lotus (talk) 02:47, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There's no better way to explain this to you. If you don't get it, you don't get it. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well I could explain it to you but I'll let the Template:Infobox person do it for me. If you could look at the section where it says SPOUSES. But I'll skip you a step and quote it where it says "Use the format Name (1950–present) for current spouse and Name (1970–1999) for former spouse(s)". Anything more clear than that? Lady Lotus (talk) 02:56, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And you still don't get the concept of 2012 being the current year... Zac (talk · contribs) 02:58, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still being 2012 has nothing to do with it, it's the proper format to use, there is no other way around that. Lady Lotus (talk) 03:02, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Recovery
Hi Zac! We don't really do much together here anymore but I just decided to give you this barnstar because of all the rescuing you have done to many articles including Jennifer Lopez-related articles. You saved many and even turned them into amazing articles. Your work on Jennifer Lopez: Feelin' So Good is a great example of this. You've taught me a lot, and I really appreciate you. Arre 04:36, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Aww, thank you very much Arre! It means a lot to me! I've learned a lot from you as well! You know that's gonna have to change soon. Zac (talk · contribs) 04:37, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're so welcome! :) Aw thanks. Yes it is! we never finished the On the 6 era articles. Arre 04:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I need to finish up the last 3 songs articles from the Love? era, and then I will move on to other eras. We got to get "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting for Tonight" done. Also, I'd like for us to take her main article to peer review in December. Zac (talk · contribs) 04:50, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, cool, which ones are you doing? Yes we do. By the way i was wondering, does Image go under artistry? Arre 05:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"I'm Into You" (live performances is the only thing left to be added), "Papi" (a bit of expansion here and there) and "Fresh Out the Oven" (a little more expansion). No because artistry is a "creative skill or ability". Zac (talk · contribs) 05:05, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying that with me. Hey, I was bored so i did some work on the 2002-04 section of Jen's article. Have a look? I included info about her break-down. Hope it's okay. Arre 06:07, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Looks good. If you're ever so bored, how about trying to recreate the fragrance articles in your sandbox? I'm going to bed now; I'll talk to you later. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:26, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yea, okay I'll think about that. I wish we still had the fragrance pages. Would you like me to re-write/fix the 99-2001 sec too? the dates are all kinda scattered/unorganized. Arre 06:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's fine, I got that under control. How about expanding the Choreography and music videos section? It seems a bit short. The length like Celebrity status and image would be ideal. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:37, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the article again, I'm unsure why I've stated December. I have a five-day weekend next month. Seems like a good time to get the article up for peer review. And there really isn't much work left to do on the article. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:41, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Yea sure I'll start gathering some sources about choreography and her music videos. Arre 06:46, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Don't go too overboard on the music videos. Just the main points of them, and mention of a few that are considered her most iconic. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I won't Arre 06:51, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Think you can also find more for her musical influences, and add some of her acting (or dancing, or business, whatever) influences? The separate section is back! Zac (talk · contribs) 06:56, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing Pic

Hey, I saw this [File:Jennifer Lopez 12, 2012.jpg]. Do you think it's good for her info-box? I think it looks less awkward without her mouth open, and we can see all of her facial features. What do u think? Arre 12:00, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I slightly expanded Legacy. Hope that's okay... Please don't remove anything. I won't touch anything else..Lol. :) Arre 12:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of frequent Tim Burton collaborators

Really you were?, I wouldn't have expected you to create an article like that. :) I figured I would do it because the actor chart was removed from Burton's main page, because it was too large. I have been watching Tim Burton movies all this month, he's one of my favorite film directors. Whatever edits you want to make to the article, feel free. :) QuasyBoy (talk) 20:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is beyond weird, I thought the exact same thing! I saw the David Lynch list, and I was like "Damn! I remember a list of that was removed from Tim Burton's article. I should do an article for it!". He is one of my favorites as well. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:05, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, the David Lynch list gave me the idea, too. :P What's your favorite Burton film, mine is Edward Scissorhands, no contest. QuasyBoy (talk) 20:11, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It was Alice in Wonderland, until I (finally) saw Edward Scissorhands over the summer. I was always a fan of his, but I had never seen his older movies until this summer when I watched a bunch of them. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:13, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I heard Alice in Wonderland wasn't very good. I'm about to watch that and Dark Shadows, which I also heard was poor. I watched Sweeney Todd last night, its so good. :) But yeah, a lot Burton's older films are better. QuasyBoy (talk) 20:20, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whoever said that needs to be shot in the face... it's a great movie. Yes, Sweeney Todd is so great. I need to see it again soon. I haven't seen Dark Shadows yet; the blu-ray will be on Christmas list. xD Zac (talk · contribs) 20:22, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take your word about Alice, then. :) I'll watch Dark Shadows and let you know what I think about it. QuasyBoy (talk) 20:28, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to nominate the article for FLC with me? (Of course, when it's done.) A better lead and recurring crew is all that appears to be needed. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problem. :) QuasyBoy (talk) 20:41, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so I saw Alice. Visually its a great film, but besides that, there's not much going for it. Its just OK, to me. As for Dark Shadows, its alright, its a pretty typical Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration. If you like their previous films together, you'll like it, but its nothing special. Now that I have seen every Tim Burton feature film, Here are my top 10 favorites of his. 1. Edward Scissorhands, 2. Big Fish, 3. Ed Wood, 4. Beetlejuice, 5. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, 6. Sleepy Hollow, 7. Mars Attacks!, 8. Batman, 9. Pee-wee's Big Adventure and 10. Corpse Bride.

I heard Frankenweenie was really good, it comes out home video in January, I'm gonna check it then. QuasyBoy (talk) 05:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category removal

Please stop I've seen you removing a lot of categories from album-related articles in a flurry and I can't figure out why. If you feel like something is wrong on a large scale, please bring it to WT:ALBUM. If you choose to respond, please notify me with {{Talk back}}. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:51, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? Don't you dare talk down to me. If you don't understand why, that's not really my problem. If you think that if a studio album includes a DVD on its deluxe edition is a video album than you clearly aren't aware of what a video album actually is. Zac (talk · contribs) 16:47, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I endorse the previous comment. A video album is an album which main content is made up in video format. An album with a deluxe edition including a DVD is not a video album by any means, it's just "a deluxe edition with a DVD". — ṞṈ™ 16:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Albums with bonus DVDs would be the correct category for that. Zac (talk · contribs) 16:51, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? How did I talk down to you? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:12, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Particularly "If you choose to respond". Zac (talk · contribs) 12:30, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have stroke out my comment, I was quite upset at the time, I do apologize. But basically, an album with a deluxe edition including a DVD is not a video album, it's just "a deluxe edition of an album with a DVD". Zac (talk · contribs) 12:35, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Video albums So if In Time and In View were sold together in one jewel case, then the latter would cease to be a video album due to packaging? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:26, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If all formats of the release were together, than it would be, yes, it would be considered a "Greatest hits album / Video album" in the infobox. But if there is a standard edition and then a deluxe with a DVD, like Dance Again... the Hits, it is not considered as such. Zac (talk · contribs) 19:30, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lana Del Rey

Hi. Persona's are key to careers. If they don't have sources, why don't you TRY to source them instead of removing them? That's lazy. Also, years are the years they were recorded, not released. That's kind of common sense. --MrIndustry (talk) 20:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't, especially when most of them "N/A", which is impossible. I'm not obliged to look for a source, the person who wants them added is. None of the citations have sources for them being recorded in such a year. The released songs section calls of when they are released, so it has been consistent. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:14, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
N/A = not available. --MrIndustry (talk) 20:27, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Britney Spears discography

I did specify why I was removing that info from Britney Spears discography page, more specifically from her "Compilation albums" section on her Discography page, I will paste here exactly what I wrote in justification for the edit: "This section was a piece of s*** with many unofficial, unnecessary and uncalled for albums listed. She only has four official compilations/remixes albums, GH:MP, B In The Mix Vols 1 and 2 and The Singles Collection,", that section has boxes and special editions of albums which are completely a waste of space and 200% unnecessary information. A response on my page will be highly appreciated. Thank you! Zefron12 (talk · contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 00:49, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hate to get into a revert war with you, so I opened up a section on the talk page to discuss it. I figured more sources is better, but it isn't set in stone or anything as a community consensus. Toa Nidhiki05 02:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Britney on S&M Remix

Hi, Britney got credit as a feat. act on S&M Remix, please don't remove it again from her discography. There are many articles saying she got the credit for that, I will add it again with a source (http://www.billboard.com/#/news/weekly-chart-notes-rihanna-katy-perry-paul-1005148452.story). As you can see the song charted as Rihanna featuring Britney Spears, then it is part of Britney's discography too. Thanks--Albes29 (talk) 08:20, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you weren't meant to be reverted. You were just caught in the crossfire of someone removing sourced information. Zac (talk · contribs) 15:45, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Thanks. I think that happened again. I added S&M Remix again. --Albes29 (talk) 20:24, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Genie in a Bottle

Lotus

Not that it matters that much I guess but I think the list that you are basing all of the songwriting/producer credit off of isn't 100% correct. I think BMI is much more of a reliable source and Jamie Hartman himself tweeted that he co-wrote Army of Me with Phil Bentley, which matches the BMI listing. http://twitter.com/jamiehartman/status/261220229043073025 His account is verified as well. + a second tweet he made says the Tracklacers at least co-produced the track yet they are no where to be found on these supposed "Sony" credits and neither is Phil Bentley.

Reception

Hey Zac. Do you know where I could get reception info for I'm Gonna Be Alright? I am re-doing the page but i can't find any reception. I thought maybe you might have a link. Thanks, Arre 06:56, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great job on the article! No, I don't. I haven't gotten around to looking for that era yet. Love? is almost done and then I want to focus on On the 6. Do you think you can focus on expanding the On the 6 era songs like you did on "I'm Gonna Be Alright"? We already have a great background section for that era, so the articles wouldn't need that much left. "Feelin' So Good" is in pretty bad shape. Once the On the 6 era is done, I can't wait to get to J.Lo! Zac (talk · contribs) 14:13, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yea I'll try; thanks. I was bored so i just decided to expand IGBA. Yes FSG isn't in good shape at all I'll start looking around for sources on that. I would also like to finish Waiting for Tonight. Arre 23:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
