WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (,  and ) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by, who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, 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. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to, who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by. We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn, Fox and The ed17 22:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Marianne Espinosa (Murphy)
Your new article on Senatorial courtesy (New Jersey) inspired me to create a short article about Judge Marianne Espinosa (Murphy.) I wasn't quite sure how to handle the name issue, since after being divorced from Michael Murphy, she has dropped his name. I resolved it by creating a redirect, Marianne Espinosa Murphy, to link it from your article, which then points to the actual article, Marianne Espinosa. She is now also well-known under that name, since she was appointed to a new term on the Superior Court in 2005 and promoted to the Appellate Division last year. (I am not exactly sure if she would be notable enough for an article if she were not on the Appellate Division, since there are hundreds and hundreds of trial-level Superior Court judges and I am not sure that alone creates notability.) The article still needs some work, especially linking, stub-sorting etc. and I suppose the talk page needs a BLP tag and possibly others, but I will have to get to that over the weekend if someone else doesn't do it first. I also wasn't quite sure how to handle the references. Most of the material is supported by the NJ Judiciary press release that I cited to for one of the facts, but I did not want to keep repeating it. Neutron (talk) 01:18, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Senatorial Courtesy
By the way, the first major controversy over senatorial courtesy in New Jersey occurred in 1983, and involved the reappointment of Judge Sylvia Pressler. It is referred to in the article about her (in the last paragraph.) She ended up being reappointed, but the reason was that the Senate changed the rules for when Senatorial courtesy could be invoked. The controversy was over the fact that Senator Gerald Cardinale had been a party to a case before Judge Pressler -- well, the real controversy was over the fact that Cardinale was trying to block Judge Pressler simply because he thought she was too liberal, and he didn't like her personally. (But of course there would have to be a very strong source to get that last part in the article, and I haven't done the research.) So I think this does belong in the article; when I get a chance I will look at the source on this subject in the Sylvia Pressler article and see how much of this it supports -- I believe it is the NY Times obituary for Judge Pressler so it may not go too heavily into the political stuff. Neutron (talk) 01:42, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
