WikiCup 2015 May newsletter[edit]

C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) is a long-period comet discovered on 17 August 2014 by Terry Lovejoy; and is one of several Featured Pictures worked up by India The Herald (submissions) during the second round.

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was Belarus Cas Liber (submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.

Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa (talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) 16:53, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

2015 GA Cup[edit]

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup

Greetings, all!

We would like to announce the start of the 2nd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Our inaugural competition, which ran from October 2014 to April 2015, was such a resounding success that we'd like to do it again. Currently, there are over 500 GANs ready to be reviewed; competitors in the previous GA Cup reviewed about 570 GAs, so we can again make a huge impact in helping editors improve articles in Wikipedia and decrease the traditionally long queue at GAN.

The 2nd GA Cup will begin on July 1, 2015. As last time, five rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on November 28, 2015), but this may change based on participant numbers. The judges learned a lot during the 1st GA Cup which exposed weaknesses in its system. Using both the feedback from last year's participants and the weaknesses discovered, we've revised the scoring system to make it more fair. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same.

We also are introducing three new judges: 3family6, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. So in total, there will be six judges. We hope this will allow the competition to run more smoothly.

Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on July 15, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges.

Cheers from 3family6, Dom497, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo, and TheQ Editor.

In the future[edit]

Please be sure you know the history, the whole story, before jumping on someone's Pity Me Bandwagon and throw around accusations of harassment, endless reverts, and lack of good faith. Since January, I'm the one who has been the recipient of everything you accused me of at the Teahouse at the hands of the person who asked for help there (in conjunction with two other editors). Bogus noticeboard reports filed by them, talk page vandalism and harassment, continual tag team edit warring, hounding, name calling and personal attacks. You name it - they have done it and I've been the recipient. For now, it appears the person you were taking sides with wants to play nice. I've accepted their olive branch. Whether it's genuine, only time will tell (they've done this before, too, and it quickly turned south). But please, like I said, don't be so quick to assume and jump to negative conclusions about editors and history you are not familiar with. Thanks,-- WV 15:24, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry for being so ignorant. Winkelvi, I will try and be more comprehensive before I jump on conclusions. Thanks for the word of advice. Brandon (MrWooHoo)Talk to Brandon! 15:39, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Well, I certainly wouldn't go so far as to refer to you as ignorant. Just unaware. Thanks for the response -- have a great day. -- WV 15:49, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
