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.

Sidebar collapse

Heyo. I just saw this revert in my watchlist, and thought I'd poke you gently with it. [1] That Sidebar cannot/doesn't collapse! ;p —Quiddity (talk) 21:11, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Willy Loman

Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! LauraHale (talk) 21:20, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed Template:did you know nominations/American Heart (song), and I hope you can review another article, please. --George Ho (talk) 23:32, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

where you objected to a prod, as fixable: I took a look at it, and it was obviously professionally written, so I checked the ref to his bio on his blog, and there it was, at http://rickydillardlive.blogspot.ca/2008/01/biography-ricky-dillard.html .I deleted as G12 When something looks both smooth & promotional, I usually find something like that. DGG ( talk ) 03:27, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that he's notable. If it were just promotional, I'd even have agreed with you that it should have been fixed not deleted. But it was out and out copyvio. Someone should write a proper article, but its too far out of my field. DGG ( talk ) 03:37, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Give Me a Ring Sometime"

I've already merged the Cheers pilot into Cheers (season 1). As for the awards on the pilot, the information is already at the "Accolades" section of the season article. There is no need to resurrect the pilot, even when there are awards won. I found reviews not very valuable to merge. --George Ho (talk) 03:35, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion is created, and I would like more consensus. --George Ho (talk) 03:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kinky Boots (musical), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fetish (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.

Hi TonyTheTiger. I've been on an extended wikibreak for a while so I'm probably not up on all the current slang, but at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Linton Roberson (2nd nomination) you wrote "Delete his high G-test stats, I am not seeing PD content with him as the biographical subject", and I'm struggling to work out what you mean. G-test I'm wondering if that means some sort of google-test stats? and PD content, would that be public domain? Anyway, appreciate you clueing me in so I don't look silly next time it comes up. Happy editing, Hiding T 08:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article View of the World from 9th Avenue you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:View of the World from 9th Avenue for things which need to be addressed. Kürbis () 11:28, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article View of the World from 9th Avenue you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:View of the World from 9th Avenue for comments about the article. Well done! Kürbis () 15:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I'm wondering if this might be redundant in some cases, i.e. when added to the articles on his operas and operettas. All of them already have Template:Lehár operas at the top of the page which has the exact same works listed and is standard for opera articles see Category:Operas by composer templates. Perhaps better to use your template only for articles on the films made from Lehár's operas and his bio? Best, Voceditenore (talk) 05:52, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
