WikiCup 2010 January newsletter
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to, our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than and   (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to - his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.

Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! 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 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, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Ben Paschal FAC
I'll take a look at it starting tomorrow and see what I can do. I don't consider myself a great-copy-editor, but hopefully I can make some decent improvements in the prose.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 01:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * When I talked about adding background, I didn't mean making the article primarily about the teams; as you say, that would clearly be inappropriate. I do think that the article should say something about his teams winning the World Series, as I said at FAC. The 1927 World Series isn't mentioned now; even if Paschal didn't play, it's probably worth a sentence. The Murderers' Row nickname is given in the lead but not the body of the article, and should be explained somewhere. You don't have to go crazy with team descriptions (I may have pushed for them a bit strongly at FAC), but some more discussion of important elements would be nice. Anyway, I'm sorry the FAC was not successful and hope this doesn't discourage you from making FAC attempts in the future.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 16:42, 18 February 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Mentioned about Paschal not playing in the 1927 World Series, I'm trying to find a right description of the Murderous Row, but I'm planning to focus on Paul Krichell, Thurman Munson and Yogi Berra first. Secret account 17:12, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: Kirchell/Paschal
I'll take a look at both. Might take me a couple days, I'm behind on stuff I've tagged to review. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 22:46, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your RfA Support
User: - Thanks for your participation and support in my recent successful RfA. Your confidence and trust in me is much appreciated.

DYK nomination of Joe Oeschger
Hello! Your submission of Joe Oeschger at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Marylanderz (talk) 01:07, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Following up on whether the additional approx 500 prose would be able to be added to the article before it is declined for not meeting the 5x expansion requirement. Thanks in advance. Kindly Calmer   Waters  20:52, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey. Did you have any further concerns over there? Looks like the issues you pointed out were addressed best they could. If there's more left I can try to take a stab at it as well. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

No other concerns, sorry for the late reply as I was in the hospital for two weeks. Secret account 12:54, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Updating Admin Coaching
Hi, I see that you are listed as an active coach.

This is just a reminder to ask that you keep the entry at Admin_coaching/Status up to date - if you take on a new student, or a student stops being coached, could you update your entry?

Please accept my apologies if you have been doing this - I'm sending this to everyone on the current active list, and not trying to track down what coaching is being done!

If you are no longer willing to coach, please remember to move your name to the "Former coaches" section!

Keeping the list up to date means that any potential coachees can clearly see what the current state of play is!

Thank you for your attention... and now, I'm off back to what I was doing before!

I'll miss you
and I do hope that you are able to come back soon.  — Soap  —  23:22, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 March newsletter
We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. 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 WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible.

OneSAF Deletion History
It's probably a skill deficit on my part, but I can't seem to find the history of why the article on OneSAF was purged. There are certainly software providers who might have authored biased presentations of the subject, but this is a neutral military /civilian simulation standard that certainly deserves a Wikipedia entry. I will start a new one if need be, but wanted to understand the history first. Legacy links remain, such as in this live article.
