WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter
Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! 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 GAN, 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. Good luck! , and

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 20:51, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Choi Soon-dal
Hi Revi,

I have been adding information to Choi Soon Dal's wiki page. He's my father, so I know quite a bit about him. He has never spelled his first name with a hyphen. I don't know how to edit that, can you correct that? And since there is a wiki page on him in Korean, can we consider using the English version of his name, Soon Dal Choi? He had lived in the US for 20 years and has many friends, associates, and family that would look him up that way.

Thanks.

A kitten for you!
This wiki-kitten is here to say "Thank you for your continued efforts to make this project better". Like a kitten, Wikipedia may occasionally scratch and bite, or barf, but it is still worth it! Cheers,

 * Thanks! Yes, some people may scratch, bite, or barf intentionally or unintentionally, but the project is fun to work with. &mdash; Revi 12:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Patrol
Hi -revi, I've received a notification that all my sandbox got "patrolled" warning from you. May I know what is that? Is that a deletion warning? Did i do something wrong? Please let me know my mistake so I can improve it. Thank you Sonflower0210 (talk) 14:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Replying on your talkpage. &mdash; Revi 14:13, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry to bother you again. There are also a tag for unreliable source on A_Pink page. I've replaced all the sources from allkpop and soompi from there. Can you please help check please? or how's usually the procedure to remove those? Thank you so much Sonflower0210 (talk) 20:49, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ I think you can do it if you replaced all unreliable sources to reliable one :D Btw, it may be helpful to have  on references which title is Korean, for those who cannot read Korean. &mdash; <span style="color:green;font-family:Courier new, serif;font-variant:small-caps">Revi  02:37, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
