WikiCup 2015 May newsletter

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) 16:35, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Your speedy delete was contested Wikipedia:Advocacy ducks

An admin was working with me on getting that page moved and I advise you to undo your delete based on my contested delete. Atsme☎️📧 21:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Phabricator

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T99455

Hi, Josve05a. Great work in migrating all those AWB bugs to Phabricator. I would like to ask you a favor. When creating my account on Phabricator, I used my old email address (that I closed months ago) instead of the new one. Now, the account is created but I can't confirm it because I don't have access to the old email account. And if I created another account, it won't have the same name as my Wikimedia username. I would like you to report a bug similar to phab:T87608 for me; i.e. I would like you to request that my account on Phabricator be deleted by a developer, so that, I can create it again. I can't report this myself because I don't currently have an account on Phabricator. This is the account I mean. Thank you. --Meno25 (talk) 17:03, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

@Meno25: I'm not quite sure what you mean. WHy not sign in to Phabricator using the "log in with MediaWIki-account"-options? (button under the log in fields) (t) Josve05a (c) 17:28, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Never mind, I'll report it. (t) Josve05a (c) 17:29, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for reporting this. Regarding Krenair's comment, could you add, please, that it is OK for me if the email address of the account was changed. --Meno25 (talk) 17:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi, again. Could you reply on my behalf to Aklapper's comment: "could @Meno25 log in via Wikimedia's SUL and access https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/email/ to change the email address and add a new one" that I can't. It gives me the response "Must Verify Email". Also, could you provide a permanent link to this section on the bug because this section on your talk page is going to be archived soon? --Meno25 (talk) 08:27, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
