Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!

Hello Hurricanehink, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

A question from USM

Since I know you on Wikipedia fairly well and you are an administrator, I thought I would ask you. I have been pondering a potential run for adminship and would like to ask you to do a review of my editing history to see what you think. I'm not trying to rush into anything and would be more than fine if you think that I should wait awhile. Thanks, United States Man (talk) 06:39, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To explain those incidents: The deal with Sharkguy05 is all my fault. I continually have problems with people touching the tornado tables after I have done NCDC updates, which I know is completely WP:OWN and I have been working on that (I agree, that would be a big problem with !voters during an adminship request). The incident with TAWX is that he failed to provide evidence that the local NWS offices are the authors of the NCDC storm entries. I admit that I got a little heated, but, as you acknowledged, I did start discussion with him after that. That is something else I need to work on. Anyway, thanks for the review!

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to 1996–97 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Don't revert for no reason

Undoing edits for absolutely no reason and leaving moronic summaries like this might seem funny to you. It is not. Don't do it again. 190.163.253.147 (talk) 10:07, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually 190 he undid your edit because he felt it was a boring way to open the lead, which was kind of explained in the edit summary. But for the avoidance of doubt it is generally felt to be boring if we start with the systems position in the season.Jason Rees (talk) 11:39, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't for no reason. Your edit summary said "say what it was before saying what it did", but that the project long ago agreed not to start articles that way. Call my edit summary "fuckwitted" if you want, but I stand by it. The opener was boring the way you changed it, and right now, it doesn't help anyone who reads the article. Obviously Hurricane Keith was a hurricane in a hurricane season. There have been hundreds of other tropical storms or hurricanes in various seasons. That means nothing. The important part, and the reason the storm has an article, as the damage in Central America. I'm reverting it back. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:34, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tropical Storm Podul (2013), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ba River (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.

GA review of Neighborhoods (Blink-182 album)

Hey there! Just addressing a few notes in your review.

  • Source has been added for recording locations
  • "is" changed to "was"
  • Most album articles don't typically need a source for the release date, but if it's necessary, there are multiple sources within the article that confirm the release date of September 27.
  • "The band's studio autonomy" was a phrase I culled from a few sources that essentially amounts to how they function as a unit (which was, as detailed in the article, not well during this time). I've left it as is for now.
  • "Connect on the same scale" means commercially - it did not sell as well as prior releases by the band.
  • I've changed "fatal" to "near-fatal," as others died in the crash and two survived
  • I suppose one could mention where the crash happened in the first paragraph of "Background," but it already runs a tad long and it isn't necessary to understand the severity of the events and its impact on the band.
  • Changed "found out via the TV news" to "learned of the crash via the TV news" to be more clear
  • Quote isn't needed, but I'd like to keep it, as it clarifies why exactly he mailed him the photograph. I've cut "It was a good moment to put the shit aside," however.
  • Ah yes, the Blinkumentary. It was scrapped, so I've changed the article accordingly.
  • I suppose you could add that they're working on a new record, but there isn't much yet to report on that subject so I've left it as is.

If you have any more concerns, let me know. Thanks for the review! Thardin12 (talk) 06:28, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added a source for release date and re-worded "connect on the same scale." Thardin12 (talk) 16:39, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hurricane Isabel Source problem

I'm translating your wonderful work Hurricane Isabel to Chinese Wikipedia, but so far I have found a problem at source:

National Climatic Data Center (2003). "Event Report for Virginia". Archived from the original on 2012-02-23. Retrieved 2007-02-23. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)

The original link is dead almost two years ago, but I try to find it at web archive, the earlist capture is at May 11th, 2008, with another 3 captures later. But the problem is: this source is not what's should be, this is not the "Event Report for Virginia", actually is for California, some strong wind begin at Febuary 3rd, 2004 2:00 PM PST.

And I have already check the source at another article Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Virginia, also had same problem.

Can you help me out? Thank you so much for writing so many wonderful articles.--Jarodalien (talk) 15:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2014 February newsletter

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:

  1. Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
  2. Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
  3. United States WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). 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.

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!
