2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation!
To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
 * Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
 * Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
 * Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
 * Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
 * Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
 * Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
 * Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
 * Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
 * Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
 * In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!
Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:24, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

 * A generator is a function that returns data in sequence. This means that if you use a list of pages as generator, the function will return every page, once, one before the other. The sentence "use a page as generator" means that if you put a list of pages in this format: " page " the bot will parse that list and add what you want in those pages.

IP edits at Blanche Lincoln
It seems to me that one editor is responsible for all the reversions that have been happening over the last month, but I obviously can't be sure of that. In any event, the edits come from what seem to me to be wide range of IP addresses. As a result, I'm not quite sure what we should do if it comes to blocking. The IPs involved have ignored calls to discuss the issue made through edit summaries and the their talk pages.

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!

igloo
Hi The New Mikemoral, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.

igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.

igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.

If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.

igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:


 * The igloo interface is similar to that of other software, including huggle. Recent changes appear on the left, and diffs appear on the right.
 * igloo sorts diffs based on iglooNet data so that edits most likely to be vandalism are displayed first. You can press spacebar to view the top diff, or click on any diff to view it directly.
 * When you find vandalism, press 'Q' or click the revert button to revert the change, and issue a warning to the user. igloo automatically issues the correct warning. It will ignore existing warnings that are more than 5 days old, and restart from the beginning.
 * The iglooNet assertion system tags clean and dirty edits with colour coding - if it suspects an edit is vandalism, it will be flagged as red, and if it believes it to be clean, it will tag it green.
 * At any time, you can re-review diffs you have already seen by pressing backspace or using the icons to move through the diff history.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! A le_Jrb <sup style="color:blue;">talk 17:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Morning Coffee (Firefox add-on)

Being new to Wikipedia, I didn't know about the three-revert rule. While I remain confused about my editing of the first sentence, I concede that the editors have more experience and knowledge of the way opening lines should be written.

I have researched other contemporary composers on Wikipedia and have found two, Osvaldo Golijov and Joan Tower, who have the same opening statement that I would like to use for Jennifer Higdon. I propose to revise the first line of Jennifer Higdon to read "Jennifer Higdon is a Grammy-winning contemporary American composer of classical music". Is this acceptable?

I would also like to understand why the "Reception" section is extensive for Jennifer Higdon. I have researched 20 of her colleagues on Wikipedia and have found none that have a section of such criticism. Most in fact don't include reviews at all. Those that do are all positive. I can certainly provide this list of contemporary composers if you feel this is necessary for your review. I respectfully ask that in fairness the Reception section should be removed from Jennifer's page until editors have decided to create the same type of section for other composers of classical music.

Thanks for helping me understand these matters more clearly. --Lawdonpress (talk) 21:51, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the lead-in sentence. I have done much reading on Wikipedia's policies about the neutral point of view and conflict of interest. I have not overstepped either policy but only wish to make sure that while remaining neutral, Wikipedia's pages are also fair. For example, Higdon's page features two positive reviews and five negative ones. Since her contemporaries don't have negative reviews on their Wikipedia pages, I would like to appeal to Wikipedia's editors re: the neutrality clause and be allowed to add three more positive reviews. This is not a conflict of interest but rather an interest in fairness of representation.

Thanks, --Lawdonpress (talk) 15:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. 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; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at WikiCup/Reviews. 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!

French phonology
Thanks for your courtesy message. I imagine that when you say the time gap, June-Feb, is an issue you mean it's a problem. I don't know why it should be a problem. Also, I would like to know if there is any way the process can force an author to correct his article. It seems there isn't, which means Wikipedia is not necessarily factual and is often inaccurate. And anyone being able to edit someone else's article makes it subject to vandalism and inaccuracies. As well, authors are anonymous when they shouldn't be and it's even unknown who the author is because the articles go unsigned, which makes them suspect or dubious.--francofun12 15:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC) (Unsigned comment added by Bpell (talk • contribs) )

2010 Venezuela earthquake
Hello user Mikemoral, I am here to say that I agree with your reasons for an AfD on 2010 Venezuela earthquake. I could have asked it to be deleted before, but once it was kept after its first nomination I didn't want to go against all those who struggled to keep it alive. I am no inclusionist or exclusionist for the matter, just a Wikipedian trying to build a reliable source of information on all aspects of human life. In my opinion, nominating the article for deletion was a correct move from your part. Congratulations. Krenakarore (talk) 10:06, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Archive templates
WQAs are generally not closed with archive templates, except with a purple one where an user is removed from a situation (usually through a block somewhere else), or with a brown one where it becomes necessary. More importantly though, we don't put the top part of archive templates above the thread. This is because the archive bot fails to pick up on the fact that the archive template should be archived with the thread - the archive bot instead, leaves archivetop on the main page (which will end up prematurely closing or reclosing some other thread) while putting the complaint and archivebottom into the archives.

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.

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter
We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were (A),  (B, and the round's overall leader),  (C)  and  (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, 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.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

2010 Pico Rivera earthquake
I noticed you put 2010 Kalgoorlie-Boulder earthquake up for deletion. I've been prodding recent non-notable earthquake articles myself, but not being a registered user, I can't put articles for AfD. I prodded the 2010 Pico Rivera earthquake a while ago and it was declined. It is even less notable than the Kalgoorlie-Boulder earthquake, lower magnitude, insignificant damage and in a California where 4.4 is literally nothing. Would you care to put it up for AfD?

I am going to be posting this on multiple editor talk pages to get some discussion going. We have yet another section on the talk page requesting Ray William Johnson be added to the List of YouTube personalities. Something has to be done because people request he be added and don't give any references for the most part but someone tried to give references, but I checked them and they were not good ones. We don't need a new section everytime someone wants him added. We have umpteen sections requesting him be added. Again, something has to be done! Mr. C.C.

Indonesian earthquakes
OK they are fair game - the Indonesian project is poorly coordinated against the various inroads these days - In this case all it needs is a merge with the others rather than Afd's in my opinion - I have seen some much more valid earthquake articles go under through afd recently - to be fair, I havent seen either the earthquake project or indonesian project notified of this - as for the notability - whether they have long lasting effect - or notability - it is obvious that you wont know from either the bbc or the google rubbish - there could well be significance that perhaps only a usgs report might offer from the way the article are done - they could just be merged into the one larger article - and I would argue that at the afd now SatuSuro 23:52, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I've only done quick Google searches and skimmed the USGS reports. I haven't exactly found geological reports on the 'quakes. I don't think it's necessary for the projects to be notified of the earthquakes. There should be a member or two watching out for AfDs. As for merged AfDs, I prefer seperate AfDs; articles should be considered separately from other articles. — Mike moral  ♪♫  22:33, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round.

Winning the featured list prize is, for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is, for four featured pictures in round 3.

Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it.

Orphaned non-free image File:Smart Bookmarks Bar logo.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Smart Bookmarks Bar logo.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
