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)

Orphaned non-free image File:Katara and Korra.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Katara and Korra.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:31, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

How to learn Wikipedia language?
Hello ChamithN, I would be grateful if you could advise me. I have never programmed before and I would like to learn Wiki markup. I believe that is the name of the language used when you edit source. Please correct me if I am wrong. How does one go about learning wiki mark up and learn it well? Finally would learning wiki markup make it easier to learn HTML in the future? Thank you. Mbcap (talk) 05:55, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Mbcap learning wikimedia language is similar to learning HTML. I wish I could help you right now. Unfortunately my PC is dead and I'm currently logged in from mobile. Using mobile to teach something is pretty hard. Im fixing my PC tomorrow. I'd be glad to help you then. If you cannot wait you can visit Teahouse to get help from other editors. I'm sorry to say that I cannot help you at the moment. Thank you -- Chamith   (talk)  02:26, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you ChamithN, you are too kind. It is all right, take your time. I am only here on a limited basis for the next two weeks, after which time I will get in touch if it is OK?Mbcap (talk) 02:37, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Of course Mbcap. Feel free to contact me after you are back. I'll be looking forward to help you. -- Chamith  (talk)  03:16, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I just got my computer fixed. I can try helping you with learning Wikimarkup if you are available.-- Chamith  (talk)  11:54, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Mervin Silva
Hello ChamithN,

This is regarding the edit concerning Mervin Silva made today (09.01.14). The following You-tube clip is self explanatory and supports my edit changes. Please check it and I believe then you would agree with my editing.

Best regards mendoaiya@gmail.com

Ref. Your note hereunder. Hello, I'm ChamithN. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Mervyn Silva, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Chamith (talk) 14:49, 9 January 2015 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
 * Hey, you can re-add the content I removed if you can cite the link along with it. Make sure to place the link between  tags. Cheers!-- Chamith   (talk)  17:18, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Jahrescharts 2014
That's the official top 100 Jahrescharts 2014 in Germany (site that i posted), but i don't know why VIVA didn't post it yet on their site. Sorry for my English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 009988aaabbbccc (talk • contribs) 16:40, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi I don't know what you meant by VIVA. Nevertheless, are you sure that it's the official site?. Because all it says is that it's a part of something called CANNAPOWER. There is no other verification to prove that it's the official site.-- Chamith  (talk)  16:45, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok then, you can remove all. But let's wait for VIVA to post it (they posted the fan-base Jahrescharts, that's not official).-- 009988aaabbbccc  (talk)  1
 * Sure, and BTW change your signature. It's just like mine. You don't need to change the font style/size. Just change the color. It's OK though, this is not the first time someone copied my signature. If it wasn't for User:w.carter I might be unrecognizable by now .-- Chamith  (talk)  17:28, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've done it. And i apologize for the changes. I hope you are not mad at me.-- 009988aaabbbccc  (talk)  1
 * Of course not .-- Chamith   (talk)  20:17, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Maroon 5
The article Maroon 5 you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Maroon 5 for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Windows 8.1
Is there a Wikipedia policy that prohibits the use of "from" and says it has to be "after" when it comes to future schedules?

Thanks, 151.225.85.170 (talk) 16:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh man it's 2016? I didn't notice. My bad. I shouldn't have reverted your edit hastily. Thank you for pointing this out. Once again sorry for the inconvenience cause. I hope I didn't discourage you from editing. Cheers!-- Chamith  (talk)  16:37, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
