WikiCup 2018 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🇺🇸 Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
 * 🇩🇪 FrB.TG, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
 * 🇮🇳 Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
 * 🇺🇸 Ceranthor, 🇮🇳 Numerounovedant, Carbrera, 🇳🇱 Farang Rak Tham and 🇷🇴 Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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!

 * I came here looking to see if you had an appropriate amount of User Access Levels and I see that you do. Would you like New Page Patrol? I came here from Chuck Buchanan Jr. (racing driver) which you could/would have patrolled if you had the right.  Royal broil  01:24, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the barnstar! I certainly wouldn't mind having that right; could come in handy whenever a new page for a new driver comes up. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 01:27, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * My thoughts exactly! I granted it. You'll see a message on the bottom of new unpatrolled articles. You can find the list of new articles here. Please check if any maintenance tags should be applied (including stubs).  Royal broil  01:36, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Re-assessing Matt Waltz
Hey Bcschneider53! I was wondering if you could re-assess Matt Waltz, as he is the first driver of the pages I have created to have an official retirement announcement. I would do it myself but I'm as biased as Jeff Gordon in the FOX booth. Thanks! Willsome429 (talk) 01:00, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter
The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
 * Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
 * 🇮🇳 Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
 * 🇺🇸 Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
 * Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
 * Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza
Don't remove the episodes. By doing that, you reduce the article around a stub. That's not conducive to getting to good article status. Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 16:56, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Removing the episodes is what the reviewer and I agreed would be the best solution since there is no suitable reference for a rather obscure series. Regarding the length, the article currently sits just over 11,000 bytes. There is no minimum length for a GA; Think Like a Cat and The Line (game show) are both shorter, in the 9,000 range. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:48, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not good article status worthy. Either make a separate article for the episodes or don't remove them.  Using WP:OSE isn't a good reason remove something.  Don't remove it again or you'd be engaging in a revert war.   Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 18:57, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Fishhead2100, you've got to be kidding. If anyone's started an edit/revert war, it's you, since you reverted my original edit with the edit summary "Leave the episodes". The only other explanation you gave was right here, calling it a stub, which is simply not true given the article's number of references. If you want to provide a second opinion on why you think it's not GA-worthy, please do so on the review page. In the mean time, I will go ahead and restore the episodes list article.
 * As it stands, I would like to think the article is well-written, verifiable (with the exception of the table, which is superfluous in many ways anyway and can have its own standalone article), broad in its coverage given the limited resources available, neutral, and illustrated with applicable images. The only problem we have right now is criteria five in that it is not stable, which is only thanks to your insistence that we keep an unreferenced table of episodes in the article. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 19:08, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I only reverted it once. So I never started an edit war.  If you are so worried about references, than find them.  Don't remove something because it is not referenced.  You fix it by referencing it.   Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 20:03, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Have you even read the review page? The show is rather obscure, so a reliable reference is not available. I am happy to be proven wrong if you come across something, but if it's not referenced, it can't be part of a Good Article. Period. The list is now available here anyway, with links to it in the main article itself. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:08, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Archiving your talk page
Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 20:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter
The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

 * Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
 * Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
 * Other contestants who qualified for the final round were 🇲🇭 Nova Crystallis, Iazyges,  SounderBruce,  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Kosack and 🇺🇸 Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to 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, and let the best editor win!

Revert
Please can you clearly explain your revert on Kevin Harvick. I just inserted the correct code - 20-30 (#CFCFFF) 31-last (#EFCFFF). Kpg jhp  jm  03:28, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That's not the correct code. 21st or worse is #CFCFFF. A DNF, regardless of position, is #EFCFFF. Hope this helps too: Template:NASCAR driver results legend. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 03:32, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:51, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:The Line logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — trlkly 13:43, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
