Family Guy GAN

Please try not to be too premature in nominating articles. While I have no problem with Baby Not on Board, I've removed your nomination of Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air and Petergeist, as it is much too soon to consider those articles for GAN, especially since one is lacking a cultural references section, and both still need very, very substantial cleanup. Especially the leads. So please be more cautious in nominating articles. Gage (talk) 14:11, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, please don't add people like Danny Smith or Alec Sulkin to the list of guest voice actors in the lead. Gage (talk) 14:12, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

And as I noted in our chat, please model articles after other GAs; like Dog Gone (Family Guy) or No Meals on Wheels, as you added the DVD info immediately after the writer and director again. Gage (talk) 14:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

"Titanic" to be FA

Hi Pedro. Titanic (1997 film) is being nominated for Featured Article, and I aak you that can you please list your support there? Thanks in advance. Secret Saturdays (talk to me) 05:10, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

An apology

Hi, Pedro. I came by to apologize for making you support my FA nomination. I know now that what I did was wrong and I believe that you should list your real opinion about the nomination. Again, I'm sorry. Secret Saturdays (talk to me) 15:32, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Re:

Sure, though, don't expect it right away cause I'm busy working on something that I want to finish. Is that alright with you? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:44, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Alrighty, then. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:48, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome for the review, just doing my part as a reviewer. TBH, I'm gonna have to decline reviewing "A Hero Sits Next Door" cause I've been reviewing a bunch of Family Guy articles and I just don't want to cause a problem and stuff. Here's a tip: You got nominations at GAN, it might be best from your part to review a couple of articles, that way people can see this and review your articles, and speed up the process fast. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:48, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Your "Baby not on Board" nomination

Hi Pedro. I'm just letting you know that your nomination for "Baby Not on Board" is currently on hold so either its section on "Production" or "Reception" can be expanded more. Secret Saturdays (talk to me) 18:01, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: your GA request

To be honest Pedro, there are quite a lot of nominations ahead of yours in the queue, that have been waiting patiently for a lot longer than you have. I know that nominations don't all get reviewed in order, but I might not get to yours for a while. I see you've asked a few other people though, so maybe you'll get lucky! :) --BelovedFreak 20:34, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Re:FT Question

Well, the first step would be to make sure that every article from the topic is up to at least GA. Then, go WP:FTC and follow the nomination instructions. Which season of which show were you thinking of nominating? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:57, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

FG S1

Hello Pedro. Sorry for my recent edits to the first season of FG, but if you look at the second paragraph in the production section it actually matches the fourth, although the latter was kept by me in my edits since it contains a little more insight on recurring characters introduced in the season. As for the Patrick Warburton photo, I felt it was a bit superflous to the article. Sincerely,  –Phil Fry (talk) 14:28, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I misspelled the word. It is actually "superfluos", which means necessary to the overall flow of something. I wouldn't call Patrick Warburton an especially important cast member, and adding an image of every one would be a bit unnecessary. Other FLCs I've seen don't have pictures of cast members. Sincerely,  –Phil Fry (talk) 15:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Family Guy Season 1

My parents are coming into town today, and will not be leaving till Sunday so I won't be able to do any exstensive editing or reviewing until Sunday. Shoot me a message Sunday morning to remind me and I'll check it out. If the Peer Review closes before then from lack of activity I'll just leave a detailed response on the article talk page.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 12:59, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Reading over the page right now. Doing some copy editing as I see. Might not actually have anything for the PR when I'm done, unless I have questions about things. :D  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 18:19, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Baby Not on Board and GA nominations

Hi, I've finished the review, and I'm not able to let it stay a GA right now. The prose still needs work. Can I seriously suggest that you don't nominate articles before getting them copyedited by someone who has a good standard of English? I know you put in a lot of effort to fix the mistakes in the prose, but you kept adding more, and couldn't see errors that were pointed out. I'm not trying to be mean Pedro, because I know you put a great deal of work into the Family Guy articles, but it would really make GA nominations go s bit smoother if they're copyedited first.--BelovedFreak 16:46, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Your GA noms

Hi, in my opinion your GA reviews are not good enough - I remember how one of your reviews was speedy deleted because every word in the one sentence was spelled wrong, and the others are not much better. Please consider not reviewing articles until you can take the time to do it right. Regards Hekerui (talk) 17:51, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I have offered a review on the article, but I am afraid I have failed it at this time.

WikiCup 2010 August newsletter

We have our final eight! The best of luck to those who remain. A bumper newsletter this week as we start our home straight.

• Pool B's close second was ThinkBlue (submissions). Awarded the top score for good articles and topics this round, ThinkBlue primarily writes content related to television and film, including 30 Rock.
• The first wildcard was TonyTheTiger (submissions). Awarded the top score for did you knows and valued pictures this round, TonyTheTiger writes on a number of topics, including baseball, American football and Chicago.
• The second wildcard was White Shadows (submissions). Someone who has helped the Cup behind the scenes all year, White Shadows said "I'm still in shock that I made it this far" and writes primarily on Naval warfare, especially U-boats.
• The third wildcard was Staxringold (submissions). Awarded the top score for featured lists and topics this round, Staxringold primarily writes on sport and television, including baseball and 30 Rock.
• The fourth wildcard was William S. Saturn (submissions). Entering the final eight only on the final day of the round, William S. Saturn writes on a number of topics, mostly related to Texas.

We say goodbye to the six who fell at the final hurdle. Geschichte (submissions) only just missed out on a place in the final eight. Resolute (submissions) was not far behind. Candlewicke (submissions) was awarded top points for in the news this round. Gary King (submissions) contributed a variety of did you know articles. Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions) said "I'm surprised to have survived so far into the competition", but was extactic to see Finland in the semi-finals. Arsenikk (submissions) did not score this round, but has scored highly in previous rounds. We also say goodbye to Ian Rose (submissions), who withdrew earlier this month after spending six weeks overseas. Anyone interested in this round's results can see them here and here. Thank you to Stone (submissions) for these.

Signups for next year's competition are now open. Planning is ongoing, with a key discussion about judges for next year open. Discussion about how next year's scoring will work is ongoing, and thoughts are more than welcome at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring. Also, TonyTheTiger is compiling some information and statistics on the finalists here- the final eight are encouraged to add themselves to the list.

Our final eight will play it out for two months, after which we will know 2010's WikiCup winner, and a variety of prizes will be awarded. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Copy editing

Sorry, I don't. If I can remember the last person to copy edit an article I put up for review then I'd ask them. Otherwise, I try to just do it myself or ask the editors I work with regularly to look over the article for glaring mistakes.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:20, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Re:Road to Europe Second Opinion

I've gone ahead and failed the article for the reasons I explained on the page. There are still issues; the article isn't ready for GA status, and, if you're right that there are no more reliable sources, it may well never be. J Milburn (talk) 16:02, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Family Guy ref dates

Why are you changing all of the dates in refs on Family Guy to "XXXX-XX-XX" instead of "Month XX, XXXX"?  Chickenmonkey  20:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

The standard format for publication dates is "Month XX, XXXX". If you wish to improve the article by putting all publication dates into one format, it would be best to put them all into the correct format.  Chickenmonkey  21:01, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

not completely true watch the simpsons FA and see the format. --Pedro J. ^{the rookie} 21:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Then, perhaps you could improve The Simpsons by correcting its date format, too.  Chickenmonkey  21:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Already hal the artical is like that and standerd does not mean correct, i see no reason why to have it the other way, please give me one. --Pedro J. ^{the rookie} 21:12, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

You're right, standard does not mean correct; however, Wikipedia does operate on consensus, and a standard often represents the consensus. {{cite news}} advises: "To avoid ambiguity, write out the month in words, using the same date format as in the main text of the article." That's not official, but it does make sense. {{cite web}} also makes note of the two standard date formats: "Month XX, XXXX" and "XX Month, XXXX"; this difference is largely geographical. The point in using this format is to avoid ambiguity (i.e. to keep the readers from confusing the month with the day: is 2009-05-11 May 5, 2009 or November 5, 2009?). Is that reason enough?  Chickenmonkey  21:22, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, as i see you are intrested would you help out in the reformating of the artical. --Pedro J. ^{the rookie} 21:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Sure.  Chickenmonkey  21:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

The "XXXX-XX-XX" format is reccomended at WP:REF/ES. Gage (talk) 23:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, that how to guide needs to be updated. Also the first sentence states: "There is currently no consensus on a preferred citation style or system for Wikipedia". Mike Allen 01:17, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) WP:REF/ES appears to recommend both (which makes no sense).  Chickenmonkey  01:22, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

List of Family Guy episodes FLC

In the future, please let me be the one who responds to and fixes the issues brought up at FLC. You responded that one of the tasks, in regards to the production codes, was done, when in fact the reference did not cover a majority of the season eight episodes. This required me to speedily add references, which I was planning to add before responding that the task had been completed. Please do not work on the List of Family Guy episodes article until after the FLC has closed, as it is much more burdensome than it is helpful. Gage (talk) 23:56, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Also I noticed that you added the Month Day, Year format to Family Guy. While there isn't any problem with doing that, in the future, please continue using the "XXXX-XX-XX" format in future articles you add references to, as it is the most widely recommended format. Gage (talk) 00:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) To be fair, I changed most of those; so, if you feel it shouldn't have been done, don't blame this user. I disagree with your assertion that the "XXXX-XX-XX" format is the most widely recommended. I've seen no evidence of that.  Chickenmonkey  01:22, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Why did you nominate Chitty Chitty Death Bang? Gage (talk) 05:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

PTV and Family Gay

Do not seperate the articles into multiple subsections, as you did with PTV and Family Gay. It completely breaks from the established format of not just every Family Guy episode, but every other animated show, including The Simpsons, Futurama, etc. Attempting to use this new format would prevent any prospect of getting their season to GT status, which states that all articles in the topic should follow one specific format, and the format you are attempting to add is ridiculously unnecessary. Please take me in all seriousness. Gage (talk) 20:12, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Beauty and the Beast (1991 film) - your input

Hi there Pedro, noticed that you are one of the more active long-term WikiProject_Disney contributors, and as a relative newcomer to the topic I'd like to get your thoughts on my proposed revision to a section of the Beauty and the Beast article - which I've described on the article talk page: Talk:Beauty_and_the_Beast_(1991_film)#Home_video_releases_//_proposed_revision. Kind regards, Jeff Bedford (talk) 18:13, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 October newsletter

The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – White Shadows (submissions), William S. Saturn (submissions), Staxringold (submissions) and ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Nintendo task force membership update

It's that time again to update membership status with the Nintendo task force, which we periodically do to keep our membership up-to-date.

All participants have been placed on an "Inactive participants" list. To confirm that you're still a member of the Nintendo task force, simply go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Nintendo#Members and move your name from the "Inactive participants" list to the bottom of the "Active participants" list. If you are no longer an active member in the task force, you may simply remove your name altogether. On 23 December, all entries under the "Inactive participants" list will be removed. Hopefully you can stay with us and continue to work on Nintendo-related articles. Regards, MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 17:23, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter.

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.

Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.

Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2011 March newsletter

We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is Hurricanehink (submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H. Piotrus (submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter

Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.

This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to Hurricanehink (submissions) and Nergaal (submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to Candlewicke (submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!

Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

WikiCup 2011 May newsletter

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
