If you want to leave me a message, you are in the wrong place. All new messages should be directed to User talk:Wikipedian Penguin. For reviving old threads, the same should be done. Thank you.
Thanks for your message. Have a very prosperous 2013 (and perhaps it'll be the one when "Love the Way You Lie finally becomes a FA!) I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 08:43, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Wikipedian Penguin, and welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! Your submissions' page is here. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:
The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started and completed the review in 2013.) We will be checking.
If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked.
Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 13:01, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to take a look at my next GA-to-be, Xiaxue? No pressure to do a thorough review; just enjoy reading and perhaps offer general feedback. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 16:29, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd love to. Let's hope it's comprehensive enough this time for GA! —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 16:32, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not yet, as I am still expanding it. By the way, would you like to read the Singapore-related GAs that I wrote long ago, before you started following my peer reviews? If so, they are listed on my userpage; I think you would be particularly interested in I Not Stupid, Yip Pin Xiu and Murder of Huang Na. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 16:36, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
They look very detailed and well written. Murder of Huang Na seems like a very attention-catching article that I'd dive into. Definitely very different from other topics you've done. I'm very impressed and pleased by your fighting systemic bias. I Not Stupid also seems to be a strong candidate for FAC in terms of information. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 16:45, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Happy New Year.....I wish you a great year ahead. Please, help me again on chopra's award list as another user has some issues over certain parts but earlier no such issues were raised.—PKS:1142·(TALK) 16:47, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, you too. I'll try, but can't promise as I already have other peer reviews piling up. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 16:50, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
just a short one. As you had already reviewed many times. So, take look and review in short.Thanks.—PKS:1142·(TALK) 18:17, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Do you think this content is reliable enough to be placed on the "Legacy" section?: In the book A Woman at War: Marlene Dietrich Remembered, is said that actress Marlene Dietrich felt that Cher was one of the few stars who approached her style of tenacity and bravado.Lordelliott (talk) 22:50, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused—who's "her" here: Deitrich or Cher? —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 00:39, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't seem too important to me. Just a minor observation. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 00:52, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Simply undoing the edits should be fine - the bot will eventually archive it again if it is inactive for long enough (minor edits do not count). Ruhrfisch><>°° 15:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's been a long time!!!! Hope all is well. This year is going to be big for me, hopefully.
Don't have any more intention on bringing that article back to FAC. Just don't have the time. But looking to see your amazing article promoted really soon. Cheers, bro. Orane(talk) 23:24, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Mark finished his copyedit. I think it is ready now. Would you mind taking another look? It think it's ready now. — ΛΧΣ21 03:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have addressed the rest of your comments. — ΛΧΣ21 16:53, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My goal now is to finish any FAC, GA and peer reviews I'd begun and focus on school work. I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the article until after my exams, in February. Sorry. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 20:16, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi WP. Thank you wholeheartedly for your copy-edits on the article. The latter looks much better now. You are amazing. :P Jivesh1205 (Talk) 17:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, no problem! I'd love to see this back at FAC someday. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:15, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi WP. I really want us to co-nominate this for FAC. Do you agree? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 10:35, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd love us to, but I'd like to have a look at Two Hearted River's unaddressed concerns first, if it's alright. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 18:52, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) I know, but reviewers want to know if issues raised in previous FACs have been dealt with and/or responded to. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, go ahead. Nevertheless, I can guarantee he will never support. Lol. :P Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:01, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hah, careful. I remember reading one editor stirring up a lot of drama for using that word ("cunt"). —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was Malleus. A very nice editor who helped me with both SL and "Halo". He is a wiki legend. :D Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:08, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK! I have to get some chemistry and English studying done soon, so I won't be able to get too much done. When do you plan on the co-nom? My exams are this Friday and all of next week. I did the listening and oral components of the French exam yesterday and they went well generally. Time will tell how [poorly] I did. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:22, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want this FAC to be an obstacle in your exams. Give your best in your studies. Maybe you can suggest a date for the nomination? And don't worry, I am confident that you will obtain excellent grades. :) Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:28, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. In the meantime you can continue to improve the article or involve yourself in other work. I've eight exams—five of which are science-related. Perhaps late January or February we can post this at FAC. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine with me. Best of luck WP. May God bless you. I am going to bed now. Prend soin de toi. Au revoir. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:36, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Come on MSN. Aaron is there as well. I am chatting with him. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 18:28, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've sent you a friend request. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Added you Jivesh, but probably you are sleeping now :P. Penguin I will be online, you can come when u r here !— Tomíca(T2ME) 20:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WP, I am unable to add you. :( Jivesh1205 (Talk) 18:59, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strange. Send me an invitation. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:01, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how to do it. Is it by choosing add friends? It's very strange as I added Tom but I can't add you. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and then enter my email address into the box. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Still the same. I will try tomorrow. I just figured out that my msn is temporarily unavailable. Maybe that's the reason I am unable to add you. I am going to bed for now buddy. See you tomorrow. Best of luck for your exams. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:10, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Most likely, and thank you for your wishing luck. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:14, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WP, can you please send me the invite again? My MSN is working now but all my emails have been deleted. Erghh. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 04:10, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WP, sincere thanks for al of your suggestions and contributions during the FAC process for H61R. They really helped to improve the article, and we really appreciate it! Moisejp (talk) 00:09, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations to you and Mick gold on another well-done FA! I was pretty much prepared to support, but the FAC page was archived before I could. Cheers. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 00:12, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks WP Penguin for your intelligent input. Best, Mick gold (talk) 18:52, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My greatest pleasure. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 18:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think of this? Just wrote it; the release is not ready yet, I will continue tomorrow. :) — Tomíca(T2ME) 23:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You're off to a fine start, buddy. Ping me when you need assistance. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 00:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You can come and edit whenever you want ;) ! — Tomíca(T2ME) 08:43, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing as how the song charted in countries prior to the March 21 date, I doubt that was its first release. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 21:37, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is the only sourecable date. We can keep it, switch to the generic "March 1989" or remove any mention of the date altogether. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 21:40, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Scratch that. I found a book citing when it was sent to radio. March 3rd. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 21:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I should have searched a bit more thoroughly. You can do the honours. The exams have left me busy and lethargic. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 21:52, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's alright, I know how bitchy it can be finding sources for release dates. ESPECIALLY ones from decades ago. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 21:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad the edit was made. I've moved the reference down to the article prose and added a ref name in case we need to cite it anywhere else. If I have time, I'll format it using the citation template. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 21:59, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to format it, but I had to go to work, haha. All the best with your exams! Mine are next week! — Statυs (talk, contribs) 00:55, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
8 exams, in 6 days! English is tomorrow and we've gotta write an essay on A Christmas Carol, read an essay, a poem, and write two multi-paragraph personal responses in the allotted 2 hours. Insane I tell you. I can only imagine what's gonna happen when we start Hamlet. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 01:06, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that is crazy! This semester I had Art, a Study Period, Math and Political Issues, and I really only have an exam for Math. Wow, gotta love those English exams! I did some similar last year, it was the pits! We had to some questions from a book we read (on The Merchant of Venice), do some poetry analysis, write a poem and write an essay in response to a short story. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 01:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and did I mention we have to write a response linking the essay and poem? Ugh. And truthfully, "géographie du Canada" has got to be the worst thing ever. This is why I think we should just have finals and nothing in between. Far too much to cover for just three-and-a-half months into a semester. Lucky you—you have a laid-back plan, just Math exam! But writing an essay in response to a short story? What's next, write a Shakespearean sonnet? —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 01:21, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! English teachers really go crazy! My English teacher told us quite blank that she did not approve of the exam (all the English teachers had a meeting and "agreed" on it together). Yeah, I don't know if you would have read it or not, but it was this short story about this man retelling the events of his childhood. His father kills himself during the time, and you have to respond/come up with the reason why he may have killed himself. LOL... You never know. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 01:24, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure how you can stretch out something like that into a multi-paragraph essay. It'd be crazy if the teachers wrote those stories... Sucks right? The mid-year test we're doing isn't provincial but our English department is just nuts. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 01:32, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
After so long, well hello. ...Could you pls take a look one last time on Chopra's list of Awards and nominations. I think it is in a good position. Cheers!.PrashantConversation 16:25, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You picked a good time to ask. I'll have comments for you by tonight. Best wishes. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 16:28, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
will definitely do that. Its waiting Copy/edit from GOCE and would definitely would be free in one week. Hence, waiting for it.PrashantConversation 03:19, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Wikipedian Penguin, I don't believe that we have met before. My name is Rahul (known as BOLLYWOOD DREAMZ on WP) and I see that you have reviewed several FACs before. I've currently nominated Kareena Kapoor and it would be great if you could take a look at the article and give comments at the FAC. Thanks :) -- BollywoodDreamztalk 18:36, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I'll take a look! Best wishes. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 18:40, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking the time to comment at the FAC. I've addressed all your concerns. Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done. -- BollywoodDreamztalk 03:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. I've exhausted myself physically (sleepy) and mentally (lots of reviewing) for today. First thing in the morning, I'll have a look. Cheers! —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 04:11, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WP, I noticed that you had replied back on the FAC without any 'new' comments. Does this mean that nothing else needs to be done to the article? -- BollywoodDreamztalk 04:53, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, BOLLYWOOD DREAMZ. I simply do not have the time and energy to review the full article. I'm not going to oppose since I think it may pass the way it looks now. Continue to satisfy other reviewers and you should be good. Cheers. —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:57, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for copy edit on the list and I can see a well written lead. I want your help on a section whose draft is currently present in my sandbox. Could you fix the errors and grammar and improve.Here it is, It would be grateful.PrashantConversation 09:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try my best. I'm committed with a lot for the time I have, so we'll see. Best wishes, —WP:PENGUIN·[ TALK ] 19:59, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
