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. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. 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 reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Please calm the bot!
Please don't run the bot to repeat This edit on the Stonewall Riots Talk Page. I've reverted the bot twice now because, though the conversation is old, it is still not resolved. Please calm the bot for now. I am a human reverting the bot. Thanks! - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 02:18, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- @CorbieVreccan: the bot is a bot. Reverting the bot will not solve the problem. Simply add a new comment yourself and it will delay the archive timer. Thanks, — kikichugirl oh hello! 03:29, 11 October 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- The bot has archived all but the first few, very old discussions at Talk:The Independent, making it look as though there have been no discussion topics since September 2006. I've manually salvaged the most recent discussions, but don't have admin authority to stop your bot. Can you stop it, or at least make it less enthusiastic? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:53, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
Suggestion - Archive bot material on talk pages earlier
Suggestion: archive bot generated material on talk pages earlier. On less active talk pages, the bot material can flood the page. Something like archiving all bot posts when they are 6 months old might be about right.

what is the meaning of this «Bleep bloop» picture on the archive bot page?

It does not look neither adequate nor appropriate...
