WikiCup 2014 April newsletter
Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's, whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included, who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and , who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from, tiger from and The Lion King from. We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to and  for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Non-minor edits
Hi Acalycine

You are doing some great gnomey edits, but sometimes you call them minor when they aren't. For example [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ansan_Street_Arts_Festival&diff=608344856&oldid=605290989 this edit.]  The threshold to call something minor on Wikipedia is pretty low. It basically means "nothing to see here." I recommend you have a read of Help:Minor edit. Even just looking at the "in a nutshell" bit at the top makes the correct use pretty clear.

 * Thanks for the advice. Sometimes I forget to check the minor edit box when I'm editing, unfortunately.  Acalycine ( talk / contribs ) 22:11, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Am I missing something? The "minor" box should be unchecked by default. If you forget to check it then it won't be marked as minor... which is probably less of an issue than marking it as minor when it isn't.  Yaris678 (talk) 18:38, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!
