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. Miyagawa (talk) 20:33, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Websites don't use italics
See: IGN, GameSpot, anything you like.

The old figures are from the 1990s-early 200s, how do you want to find info about their release? The articles (and even most websites) from the 1990s are all gone (404). And Amazon is perfectly fine to prove they exist. --302ET (talk) 12:55, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

And televisions too (used in this article: Spike (TV network)). --302ET (talk) 13:00, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

For the comics appearances: the published sources are the comics. It's not different at all than any reference being from a print magazine, you need to get it, open, and see if something's inside. --302ET (talk) 13:05, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I am assuming good faith. Can you please show me the wikipedia guideline that states website and television sites should not use italics? Every good and featured article i've worked on has placed them in italics. I'd expect you to find out about the figure releases the same was I find out about video games from the 1990's that i've written about. I successfully nominated The Punisher (1993 video game) for good article status, and I currently have Lemmings (video game) nominated for GA, which is from 1991. For both articles, I had to find magazine sources from the 1990s to help write it. Yes, I understand that's more difficult, trust me, but unfortunately it's a fact of life. Amazon is OK to prove things exist - but in this case we don't really need to - we already have the line "The character has been featured in various Resident Evil merchandise," so adding the text "More Jill figures, statuettes, and other merchandise were released for Japanese and international markest by various companies" isn't particularly helpful. And even if it was, one or two sources from Amazon would be enough (having several doesn't make your case stronger - action figures of Jill exist, we get it) and they'd have to be formatted properly. I'll look into putting inline citations for the comic mentions into the article as properly formatted inline citations. Freikorp (talk) 13:11, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial/Formatting#Bold_and_italics this? It forgot to mention, but: print magazines too (compare The New York Times vs CNN vs Internet Movie Database, or anything else). --302ET (talk) 13:16, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm looking into this. While you are correct in nothing that the guideline states "Italics may be used for the names of books, movies, albums, and computer or video game titles", which doesn't mention websites or TV networks, it doesn't specifically state when italics should not be used. I'm not currently convinced there is an official position on it, perhaps its just taken on a case by case basis. I'm going to ask around about it. Also if you explain your changes to the article using the edit summary in the future we can avoid any confusion regarding why changes are being made. Freikorp (talk) 13:28, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Just look at any website or TV station/network article. It's literally never used. But they actually forgot to mention newspapers and print magazines. Again just look at just any printed outlet's article, there it's always used. --302ET (talk) 13:37, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * You make a good point, but I already contacted one of the co-ordinators of the guild of copyeditors regarding this. He clearly will know when and when not to use italics, so i'll wait to hear back from him and will go with whatever he says. If you're right, i'll go through the article and change them all back myself.


 * Regarding the comics, you state "the published sources are the comics". This is true, but we still need to format the comic itself as inline citations for the sentence "She also appears in Lee Chung Hing's manhua adaptation of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, titled Biohazard 3: Last Escape (1999), as well as in the Marvel's comic series Resident Evil (1996–1998) and the comic book Marvel Vs. Capcom: Fate of Two Worlds (2011)." The approved method of formatting comics, Template:Cite comic, states having the date the cited comic was printed is a necessity. I'm trying to find the dates those two comics you added to the article were printed, because I can't cite them without that information, at least I can't for GA standards. If you know the dates they were printed let me know. I'm done editing for today, I'll look into finding the dates myself tomorrow. Freikorp (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

http://residentevil.wikia.com/Category:Comics (and Jill's in http://residentevil.wikia.com/Resident_Evil:_The_Official_Comic_Magazine too). --302ET (talk) 14:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

The manhua info: http://residentevil.wikia.com/Category:Biohazard_3_manhua --302ET (talk) 14:11, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

And the Mvc3 prequel comic cme with the game's Collector's Edition. A previous Marvel comic was actually a single issue http://residentevil.wikia.com/Resident_Evil_(Marvel_Comics) and not 1996–1998. --302ET (talk) 14:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I've added a couple comic appearances, with references. I think the article would benefit from one more more recent example, but there certainly isn't any need to list every comic she's ever been in; i'll look into finding a more recent example I can cite later. Unfortunately the 'manhua' info at that website states publication dates are unavailable, so that's no good to me. The copy editor's guild co-ordinator also got back to me. There doesn't appear to be an official policy on not italicising things like that, but he agrees it generally isn't done, so i'll remove all those italics sometime later today. Freikorp (talk) 00:28, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Found and added a third mention, this should be enough now. Freikorp (talk) 02:02, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

The "unreliable" interview conformation from the actress: https://twitter.com/juliavoth/status/551874871655796736 --302ET (talk) 09:33, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't think anyone ever doubted she actually did the interview, what was doubted was the notability of the source. You can't cite my blog on wikipedia either because my blog also fails WP:RS, regardless of whether I can get someone to confirm that they did an interview with me. The plethora of unreliable sources was what instantly failed this article the last time it was nominated for GA, so i'd rather not go out of my way to collect sources of questionable notability and add them to the article. Can you just wait until the article passes its GA nomination before making things more complicated? Freikorp (talk) 10:28, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

The question is about reliability (is the information reliable), not notability. Notability is something entirely else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability --302ET (talk) 10:32, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes yes ok, I used the wrong word, my point was i'd rather not make the article unnecessarily complicated with questionable sources when there are so many unquestionably reliable ones to use. Also you don't have to use bare URLs to link to wikipedia articles - you can make things less complicated by linking to them with wikilinks, like Notability instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability. Freikorp (talk) 10:37, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * If it wasn't clear, the reason I removed that particular source was because it was listed at the 2nd GA nomination, a WikiProject Video games review and at RSN as unreliable, see Talk:Jill Valentine/GA2, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Sources/Archive 7 and Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 145.

Video Games Project
Hello. I've noticed lately that you've been working on a bunch of video game articles, some already at Good Article status. Have you thought about joining the Video Games project? GamerPro64 05:05, 6 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Gamer. Thanks for the invite, I just put my name down on the list of members, guess i'll wait and see what happens now. I've only recently taken a strong interest in video game articles, after my GA nomination for The Punisher (1993 video game) passed in October 2014. I currently have four video game related articles nominated for GA, and the next project on my to-do list is to get Resident Evil 5 up to the point where I can nominate it for GA, so I suppose it's a good time for me to join this project. :) Freikorp (talk) 05:53, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Speaking of Resident Evil and whatnot, I've noticed you've been working on articles that have been worked on by User:SNAAAAKE!!, AKA Niemti, who was a thorn in the projects side of a long time. I'm not saying that you're a sock puppet of him but that detail did strike me a bit. But besides that, welcome to the project. GamerPro64  06:28, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes well spotted. The Punisher (1993 video game) was my favourite arcade game as a child. I looked up the wikipedia article for it one day and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I went to contact the person who wrote it so as to encourage them to nominate it for GA, but upon noticing it was SNAAAAKE!! and he was blocked from editing, I took it upon myself to nominate it for GA. I left SNAAAAKE!! a barnstar and a message for writing the article, which I doubt he has noticed since he's blocked from editing. Other than that i've never interacted with him. From his failed GA nominations that i've seen recently I've got the impression that he could be quite difficult to work with if you disagreed with him. Anyway as you can see from the page User:SNAAAAKE!!, he left a collection of articles that he thought were 'GA ready'. In my opinion none of the ones i've looked at are quite GA ready, all of them were riddled with dead links, plus SNAAAAKE!! seems to have no concept of consistently formatting references or telling the difference between a reliable source and a blog, but nonetheless the prose and coverage on all of them is extremely good, so i've taken it upon myself to adopt several of his 'GA ready' articles. The ones that I intend to nominate for GA are listed on my user page. Basically i'm adopting all the video game, films and characters he worked on that I happen to like, about nine or ten articles in total. Freikorp (talk) 06:42, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That sounds real swell adopting the articles. Hope you enjoy working on them and remember that the project talk page is always active to help answer questions you might have. You can of course ask any of the regulars such as I for help. Cheers. GamerPro64  06:52, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Rampage (2009 film)
The reference does not quantify mostly positive reviews. That wording is promotional and non-subjective fluff that in no way improves the article. Please choose better wording before performing hacksaw reverting. 24.177.109.112 (talk) 09:52, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The reference does not quantify only "some" reviews were positive either, yet you insist on changing the wording to this. Please consider reading the various wikipedia guidelines that I pointed out to you, as you clearly have no idea what you're doing. Freikorp (talk) 10:09, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Joe Aiello
Hey, thanks very much for taking on the GAN for Joe Aiello. I believe I've addressed all your grammatical and sourcing issues, but was seeking a bit of input on the images question. Please take a look at your earliest convenience. Thanks! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  16:41, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for your GAN review! I think the article has much improved thanks to your efforts. If you'd like, feel free to sign my guestbook! It's been inactive for a while because I had taken a bit of an extended break from Wikipedia, but I occasionally invite people I had positive wiki-experiences with to sign it. :D —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  00:59, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the second opinion helm on the article. Felt like a huge load off my back since I don't usually do GANs and the like. GamerPro64 01:44, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Great work! --- Another Believer ( Talk )

Hi Freikorp, it's been a month, and no one has offered to review this article, which I know is a step you normally prefer before taking it to FAR. I just re-read the article and I believe it should be taken to FAR immediately; I suggest you remove the review notice from the Talk page and skip this review step. I've already reviewed it and copy edited it. Just nominate it for FAR. This article is going to rock the main page. Prhartcom (talk) 01:43, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi . I currently have an article nominated at FAC (see here), which unfortunately isn't getting much attention. Anyway I can only nominate one article at a time myself, so unless you or want to co-nominate it with me (up to you, no pressure), i'm going to have to wait until my currently FAC is closed or passed before I can nominate to by myself. Freikorp (talk) 02:14, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It would be honour to co-nominate this article with you, especially if that would help you; let me know. BTW, I don't know about that other article as FA. Prhartcom (talk) 04:01, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah if you could nominate it, listing me as your co-nominator, that would be appreciated. I just closed the peer review as peer reviews must be closed before opening an FAC. BTW are you saying you don't think the other article I nominated is up to FA standards? Feel free to comment on its nomination - all comments, even those opposing it, are encouraged, providing you give instructions on what must be done it order to obtain your support. If you don't have time for that, please just give me some informal feedback here on what you think is lacking in the article for FA standards. I won't be offended. :) Freikorp (talk) 04:11, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, you should get top billing. Let me look hard at the article this weekend, and see if there are other reliable sources we can use to possibly expand it. Like I said, I think this article will rock the main page, but I wouldn't want to be accused of it not being wide enough in scope. As for the other article; your treatment of it is first class, but just the idea of that movie being FA just doesn't fit right with me. I think you should ignore me though, because that is just negative energy you don't need. I'll get back with you about this article after I've taken a good hard look at it. Cheers, mate. :-) Prhartcom (talk) 04:23, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey mate, did you have a chance to look over the article? Are we still good to nominate this? :) Freikorp (talk) 05:50, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, my friend. Yes, I've been looking through some of the existing sources, checking to ensure we have covered everything, and I really should finish going through the rest of them that you've already read and then look for even more. How do you feel the article stacks up per 1b Comprehension and 1c Well-researched? (and 4. Length?) Prhartcom (talk) 12:54, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Well I think it holds up well against the criteria. Obviously it isn't that long but it's an appropriate length for the amount of information that is available. I don't think there's much room to expand/improve this further; I read through it and the only thing I thought was missing was which prison he is at and his release date. There doesn't appear to be any news article released about him since he was sentenced in March 2014, so I got the information from the Federal Bureau of Prisons's inmate search, and added it to the article. Freikorp (talk) 22:55, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * And I am finishing my reading of all the sources and there are a few things we could of course add, but I think you have wisely left out the extraneous detail. I saw the photo of him that would be nice to add but that won't be possible. Of course you and I have already expanded the story to include the more recent events, thankfully. I believe the citations are in perfect shape but I may go though them again to be sure. And of course we both have done a ton of copy editing, but they will still find more copy editing is needed to be done. All right, I will nominate tonight. Good work. Prhartcom (talk) 23:17, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup Round 1 GAs
Hi there, as you may have noticed by now, I've removed Lemmings (video game) and Max Payne (character) from your submission page in the 2015 cup. In order to claim points for an article, the requirement is that significant work must have been completed on it during one of the stages of the cup (in this case from 1st Jan onwards). I reviewed all of the GA articles you placed on your submission page, and felt that the ones that remain demonstrated that significant work had been completed - even if they were just in response to GA reviews based on expansion work you had completed in 2014. However, with both the removed articles you didn't make any clear cut expansions during this year, with the work appearing to be restricted to copyediting and adding archive urls.

However rest assured that on the basis of the work you've put in already, you are certainly through to the second round of the cup already and you'll probably make the top seeded group as well. Miyagawa (talk) 12:37, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. The date of when the work was done didn't even occur to me when placing the GAs for submission; sorry about that. While I have your attention, I noticed a GAN that was asking for a second opinion, so I provided one, which helped pass the nomination. I subsequently counted my second opinion as a GAR submission at the Wikicup. Firstly, was I eligible to do this? Apologies if not. Secondly, if it is eligible, will the bot pick it up? Or would you have to adjust the score manually since I am not the official reviewer as counted by the bot. Thanks for your time. Freikorp (talk) 12:51, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just had a look at the review and I'm happy for you to claim the points. The requirement as always is significant work, and in that instance the detail you've gone into easily meets that requirement. The bot should pick it up without any problem as it's formatted the same as the other reviews (the bot doesn't do any checking other than whether it's formatted correctly on the submission page - alas the actual checks is something we do manually which is why they tend to come later). Miyagawa (talk) 13:03, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks, I enjoyed working on it. I didn't get a barn star for over six months and now i've gotten 3 in 2 days! :) Freikorp (talk) 04:28, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Omar J. Gonzalez
Just thought I would let you know that I created a stub for Omar J. Gonzalez, which is sort of similar to the 2011 White House shooting article (and posted a bunch of links on the talk page). Needless to say, you are certainly more than welcome to work on this article if you are interested. I did want to ask, though, is it okay to use his name as the article title, or should it be move to something more incident-identifying, such as 2014 White House intruder or similar? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:59, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the article should have a different title, for the same reason the article is entitled '2011 White House shooting' or, say, Attack on Reginald Denny. The individuals are not notable, only one event that involved them is. 2014 White House intrusion sounds most appropriate to me. In fact I think i'll move the page myself, but feel free to move to a page of a similar name if you come up with something better. I'll take a look at expanding the article. Btw I kind of stole your userpage design. I was getting a bit tired of mine and your general style appealed to me more than anybody else's did. Hope you don't mind, if anything I think you should be flattered :). I was going to change the colours of the 'My work' and 'Infobox' boxes, but I couldn't really figure out how. Freikorp (talk) 08:35, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh and thanks for finding all those sources and listing them on the talk page :). Freikorp (talk) 08:44, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for moving the page. I have no problem with its title and appreciate your feedback. By all means, please take whichever elements you wish from my profile page design. I copied it from someone else and I have seen several other users copy it as well. It is a great design and works well at displaying a lot of information. :) --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:34, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Similarly, I went ahead and moved Dominic Adesanya to 2014 White House fence jumper. If you can think of a more appropriate title, feel free to let me know or move the page yourself... a lot of sources referred to him as the "fence jumper" and I am not sure "White House intruder" makes sense since he only made it onto the lawn. The incident received a lot of coverage, as I imagine you are aware, so I don't think notability is a problem here. These intruder incidents sure are fascinating. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:04, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * My stub was nominated for deletion, so feel free to participate in the deletion discussion if you have an opinion on the matter. One contributor said even the 2011 White House shooting article violated WP:NOTNEWS. Or, if you are looking for another GA candidate for scoring WikiCup points, we could tag-team this article and co-nominate. Seems like it would be less work than the White House shooting article. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:35, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I am surprised by how this deletion discussion is going. I'm not sure if I should be spending time expanding the article, or if doing so would be wasteful, haha. Unfortunately, I think people sometimes often vote at AfD without doing much research. By the way, thanks for starting 1912 White House intrusion -- very interesting! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:05, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah it's a tough call, expanding the article may make people lean towards voting to keep it, if it looks more notable, but it also may just be a waste of time. I enjoyed writing and researching for the 1912 article. I was a bit annoyed I only found (the very interesting) information about him escaping from the mental asylum today, after the article was featured at DYK (where it was viewed by over 5,000 people), but you can't have it all I guess. :) Freikorp (talk) 05:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I am bummed by the outcome of the AfD for 2014 White House fence jumper. Not what I expected; actually, I thought this article could easily become a GA with some additional expanding. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:30, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah that's a shame. As per the debate though, would you like to work together on the article 2014 White House intrusion? Since that one is unlikely to be listed for deletion? And as per the debate perhaps we should consider moving the page back to his name. Let me know. Freikorp (talk) 22:35, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure! Would be great to collaborate (and potentially both claim WikiCup points... I see you are leading the pack!) I am indifferent re: name vs. event title for the article. Actually, I thought names were not preferred, but that detail can be ironed out as the article is expanded. I've posted links on the talk page. (And, though I don't mean to go against the community decision re: 2014 White House fence jumper, I've made a couple more updates and figure I may as well expanded it to its full potential. I expect you are not interested, but again, I actually think with a little work this could be a GA contender. Would be another good one to co-nominate.) --- Another Believer  ( Talk ) 18:23, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * As you probably noticed, I started expanding '2014 White House intrusion'. Hopefully I will get a chance to finish it this weekend. In the mean time, at the peer review for 2011 White House shooting it was brought up that the article might be improved with a relevant navbox. I don't have any experience this area. Do you know if a relevant one exists, or do you think one could be made? Freikorp (talk) 00:31, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. Well, if I am being honest, I can't really think of a navbox worth adding or creating. There aren't relevant navboxes for 2011 crimes, 2011 in DC, or Attempted assassinations of U.S. Presidents, and I think any navbox related to Obama or the White House would be for more general topics and not an article of this sort. If one had to be created, I think one could possibly be made re: assassination attempts, but it's not one I would think to create on my own. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:59, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. There is a TfD for GameFAQs in. (It generates an external link to gamefaqs.com.) It is relisted, so I thought it'd be a good idea to call people who work in the relevant field, such as yourself.

One minor issue: The relisting admin was a little bit – shall we say – disenfranchised by unrelated discussions like the general merit of GameFAQs links outside the EL section. So, I'd appreciate if such discussions were either totally avoided or kept to a bare minimum. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 04:49, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter
That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge,  led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:
 * took Bumblebee, a level-4 vital article, to Good Article;
 * worked-up the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article, also to Good Article status;
 * developed an extremely timely article to Good Article, taking Magna Carta there some 800 years after it was first sealed;
 * And last but not least, worked up a number of Featured Pictures during round 1, including the 1948 one Deutsche Mark (pictured right), receiving the maximum bonus due to the number of Wikis that the related article appears in.

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

Taiko FAC
Hey Freikorp, congrats on your FA for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I have an FAC going for Taiko, and I wanted to ask if you might be able to do a spot-check of sources there, to ensure the claims in the article are accurately supported by sources. Without the FAC, this (second) FAC will be withdrawn, and I've done my best to put a lot of work into it and the article. The FAC page can be found here. Thanks, I, JethroBT drop me a line 21:10, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Would you like me to do a review of the online sources or has that been covered sufficiently already? Freikorp (talk) 03:38, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think checking out the online sources would still be helpful. Thanks! I, JethroBT drop me a line 05:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Congrats on the nomination passing. I'm just curious, when you contacted me mentioning the FA for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, did you realise that taiko was wikilinked in that article? Wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or not haha; i'd actually already read part of the the taiko article in order to find out exactly what they were when I added the link to  The Spirits Within. :) Freikorp (talk) 15:16, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Grammar
I think it really is a grammatical error—the "by" in "based on a story by" is grammatically different from the "by" in "directed by" and "co-written by", where it forms the passive tense. Think of it this way: if you rewrite "it was directed by XX" in the active, it becomes "XX directed it". Do the same with "based on a story by XX", and ... well, it doesn't work, does it? Because the latter is not in the passive. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 10:30, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

File:StocktonFerry1.JPG
I'm wondering if we can find an image for your TFA on 1 May. Did any of the dramatic bits of the film happen in a scene set on or near that ferry? Can you think of any other images we could use? - Dank (push to talk) 21:05, 13 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi . If I recall correctly the ferry appears in two scenes. The first is actually the point where the eventual murder victim, Tracy, is introduced. Several students, including main characters, are seen leaving school via the ferry. Tracy is seen to be running late, and actually jumps onto the ferry as it is leaving the dock, only barely making it aboard. The other students cheer. If I remember correctly, the offline Kerry Carrington book source specifically states that Tracy is introduced in a scene on the Stockton Ferry. If this helps, I can make a trip at some point to my local library to have a look at the book again and tell you the page number. The second appearance is a brief shot showing Rachel (who we can only assume snuck out of home without her parents permission) travelling to the infamous party alone on the ferry. It is only a brief scene.


 * Other than a generic picture of either Maroubra Beach or Caves Beach, where beach scenes were filmed, I am unaware of a relevant picture that is on wikipedia. It's a shame there isn't a picture on wikipedia on the Stockton bridge, which is a very notable landmark, and there are also sources that state filming took place there. Hope this helps. Freikorp (talk) 11:45, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * We'd have to be able to say something like "where the murder was filmed" or (for an interesting picture representing where most of the filming took place) "main location for filming" or something. Did most of the filming happen in and around Stockton? - Dank (push to talk) 12:39, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm. All the sources I have just state filming locations, none really state where most of the filming took place, though the Kerry carrington reference specifically comments that many areas from Stockton were easily recognisable, and the Worthington reference states how recognisable the stockton Bridge was. Even the DVD special features which I have only obtained today unfortunately do not shed any light. The information i have on filming locations is pretty much already in the article. To the best of my knowledge, filming would have been fairly even between Stockton, Maroubra Beach, Caves Beach, whereas NESCA house was only used as the filming location of the police station, which I believe was only used in two scenes. That being said, according to the sources the three areas appear to be the ONLY major locations for filming. It would be fair to state that Stockton was ONE of the main locations for filming. Freikorp (talk) 10:19, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * A picture of a beach is kind of generic (usually), so I don't think those would help much. Can you find a PD or copyleft picture that people would regard as representative of Stockton? - Dank (push to talk) 14:22, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * i agree a beach picture would not be the best. If I could have a picture of anything it would be of the Stockton Bridge, which is the most notable landmark there, is mentioned in at least two of the references, and is also the location of an important scene in the film (where Jared confess to his mother that he witnessed the rape and could have saved Tracy). If you search for 'Stockton Bridge NSW' on google images or flickr there are scores of good results, but I am not very familiar with image copyright, and currently have a lot on my plate. Would you be able to see if there is a relevant picture we could use? Let me know if you don't have time and I might have the time to arrange something. Thanks. Freikorp (talk) 00:59, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You've done more than enough, let me see what I can do. - Dank (push to talk) 01:07, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was just having a browse of pictures anyway and these ones looks like they could be used: Anyway i'll leave it with you for now. :) Freikorp (talk) 01:14, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Crisco, I've checked the free-use images at Google for the Stockton Bridge, nothing looked suitable. Freikorp has just found two images (oops ... noncommercial), and I'll be happy to look somewhere else, or for something else, if you want to point me in the right direction. - Dank (push to talk) 01:15, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if I'm that keen on including shooting locations. Have we done this before? I tried looking for free images of the cast and crew, but nothing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:44, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I haven't found anything either. I don't know if we've done it before, but I'd be happy with an iconic location, such as a shot recognizable as the bar in Cheers. If people see a bridge and think, "Oh right, that's Blackrock", that works for me. - Dank (push to talk) 02:01, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Shame about those bridge images. I don't see any with a free enough license on Google. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:57, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey . Sorry real life has kept me from even loging in for the last few days. Before my internet absence I even sent a message on flickr to someone who took one of the non-free photo's of the bridge, asking if he could release it into the public domain, highlighting the free advertising he would get etc etc. Didn't get a reply, so i'm out of ideas now. I'll send a couple more messages out to the other people who have non-free image on flickr, but assuming none reply, are we going to add the picture of the ferry and add the words (filming location in Stockton pictured) after the words 'Stockton, New South Wales' in the blurb? I don't see why we couldn't do that. It's hardly a world famous Ferry, but it is almost if not just as recognisable as the Stockton Bridge as a landmark of the region. Freikorp (talk) 12:54, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Crisco has mentioned that we don't generally run images of shooting locations, and that makes sense to me ... unless it's an iconic image. If someone looks at an image and thinks, "Oh right, that's from Blackrock", then that would work (I hope). - Dank (push to talk) 12:58, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Blackrock was an independent film, and not a particularly financially successful one either, so I don't think anyone who hadn't seen the film recently would look at a landmarks and think 'Hey that bridge was in Blackrock' (and considering the DVD is out of print, I don;t think many people have seen the film recently). People familiar with the Newcastle region would definitely say something like, "Oh, the Stockton Bridge was a filming location, that's interesting", but that's probably the best we could hope for in terms of a free image that connects to this film. If that's not acceptable (which is a shame but i'm not protesting) then I think we'll have to give up on the idea of finding a picture unfortunately. Freikorp (talk) 06:02, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Neelix just added an image of Stockton beach. I don't think he is aware of this conversation. So, my question to you, since you've seen Blackrock, is: when you look at that beach, does it make you think of the film? - Dank (push to talk) 20:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I took that photograph when I went to Stockton to take photos for the murder of Leigh Leigh article. It was my first article nominated for featured status so I put a lot of extra effort into it, including the 3 hour drive to Stockton, which I unfortunately do not have the time, money or will to do a second time to take a photo of the Bridge, which aside from the Ferry, would be the only thing in Stockton that would make me think of the film. My beach picture does not make me think of the film. In my opinion it's not even a good photo of Stockton Beach, it just happens to be the direction Leigh started walking from the party before she was murdered, which made it relevant to the murder article.


 * There has been an interesting development in this matter however. I emailed David Elfick, the film's producer, asking if he could upload a free image from the film's production. He said he'd be happy to do that, but he is currently overseas and will not get home to where his photo collection is until April 31 Australian time, which is cutting it damn close for him to locate his photo collection, figure out how to upload an image to commons, and have me locate said image before May 1 UTC. May 1 was the anniversary of the film's release in Australian cinemas, but i'd think i'd rather have good photo's in the article before it is at TFA than a relevant date. Brian, considering that we are probably going to get a good free image for this article on or after May 1, can you/do you think it would be a good idea to swap its TFA date for a non-specific date later in the month? Preference for as later as you can in case Mr Elfick has trouble locating his photo collections and uploading an image. No worries if you it's too late to swap the date, I won't lose any sleep over it. Just asking if that's possible atm, I think i'll email Mr Elfick back and clarify if he'd be able to upload the image asap when he return to Australia. Thanks. Freikorp (talk) 05:35, 24 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Waiting until we have a good image makes sense to me; there are other blurbs currently at TFAR that could be swapped in for May 1. Neelix (talk) 19:54, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Well the date hasn't been moved yet, nor has Mr Elfick replied to my second email, and May 1 draws nearer. I note the beach picture is still scheduled to be used. Are we keeping the beach picture, swapping to the Ferry picture, scrapping a picture altogether, or moving the date and waiting for the possibility of a better picture? As previously stated, I don't think the beach picture is appropriate; i'd prefer the ferry image as it's an actual filming location, but as also discussed that hasn't been done before. If you're going for just a picture of Stockton, either of these two is slightly more relevant: File:Stockton Beach - southern end.jpg (note bridge pictured in far background), File:StocktonWharf1.JPG (more reflective of Stockton). Freikorp (talk) 09:17, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with Frei; the beach shouldn't be used. I'd rather we run with no image than something which is just marginally tied to the blurb. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:30, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I left a msg on Brian's talk page. - Dank (push to talk) 22:53, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I have rescheduled for May 13, the best I can do. If the pic hasn't arrived by then we go with what we've got. Brianboulton (talk) 10:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Brian. Sounds good to me; I wouldn't be willing to wait any longer for the picture either. Freikorp (talk) 11:43, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Mr Elfick emailed me back. He's back in the country and said he'd get his assistant to upload photos from the film's production. Unfortunately he said his assistant is on vacation and will be back at work on the 12th. Terrible timing again haha. We'll see if we get it in time, not going to lose any sleep if we don't though.

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus. Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
 * was one of several users who worked on improving Ulysses S. Grant. Remember, you do not need to work on an article on your own - as long as each person has completed significant work on the article during 2015, multiple competitors can claim the same article.
 * took Dragonfly to Good Article for a 3x bonus - and if that wasn't enough, they also took Damselfly there as well for a 2x bonus.
 * worked up Alexander Hamilton to Good Article for the maximum bonus. Hamilton was one of the founding fathers of the United States and is a level 4 vital article.

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! , and  16:56, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Freikorp, how are you? As you were the GA reviewer for Sir Hugh, I thought I'd let you know that I've just nominated at FAC here. Thanks for all your help earlier and I hope you're well. Cheers, —  Cliftonian   (talk)  06:27, 7 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi . Thanks for your message. To be honest, i'm going through a pretty rough time in my personal life. There's a good chance that i'll have to take a long, involuntary absence from Wikipedia in a couple months. It's not the kind of problem people can help me with, other than to just be nice/supportive and there for me to talk to. Sorry if that's too much information and you were just making smalltalk but I can't really bring myself to say things are well when they aren't. That being said, considering this may be my last opportunity to do so I would like to make some more positive contributions on here. So i'm happy to take a look at that FAC. I currently have an article of my own nominated at FAC - it's an obscure sci-fi film from the 90's, probably not what you're used to, so don't feel pressured but if you could take a look at that i'd be grateful - you can find it here. Have a nice day. Freikorp (talk) 07:33, 7 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry to hear that, Freikorp, and I really hope that whatever these issues are (and they sound pretty serious) you are able to stay strong and get through them. I'm sorry if this seems presumptuous considering how little we know each other, but if you ever need someone to talk to or whatever, you can message me or shoot me an email and I'll do my best to try to give what support I can. I understand very well how tough it can be to try to act like everything's okay when it's not. I will have a look at Tank Girl. I've never heard of the film—sounds like an odd mix of Mad Max and Total Recall with Alexander DeLarge in it. In the meantime please accept my best regards, and stay strong. —  Cliftonian   (talk)  08:18, 7 July 2015 (UTC)


 * No that doesn't sound presumptuous at all, in fact I really appreciate it. It's very reassuring just to know there are nice people out there who would be willing to talk to me, so thank you. And yes, I can assure you unfortunately it is a very serious situation. I did smile at your description of Tank Girl. It really is a unique film - I know several people who love it as much as I do, but the two close friends I made watch it with me over the years both responded with something along the lines of "what the hell did you just make me watch!?!" Haha so I make no apologies if you decide to rent it out and think it's terrible. :) Freikorp (talk) 09:28, 7 July 2015 (UTC)


 * A Google search reveals that the Nostalgia Critic did a Tank Girl video, so I will have a look at that to give me some idea of the subject before looking at the article. I'll try to have a look tonight. Stay strong, friend. —  Cliftonian   (talk)  09:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ScrapIronIV. I noticed that you recently removed some content from List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''There is no consensus for your removal; consensus is to keep with new participants. Your single dissent is not enough to remove it.''  Scr ★ pIron IV 14:47, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * What on Earth are you talking about? I explained my edits using the summary provided. I accidentally removed the wrong prediction the first time, but I clearly explained "This is a 'list of dates predicted for apocalyptic events', not a 'list of dates the world will not end before'. Please do not put outrageous lies on my talk page in the future. My logic stands; this "prediction" does not fit the articles criteria. Unfortunately you seem to not understand how consensus works, so let me explain it to you. You gain support or opposition by discussing the issue on the talk page. You can't say I have no support by simply reverting my edit, nor can you say you have new consensus purely by saying so in an edit summary. I'm taking this issue to the article's talk page, where it belongs. Freikorp (talk) 23:14, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Your logic does not trump consensus - it stays, unless of course you want to start an RfC and get a new one.  Scr ★ pIron IV 13:01, 19 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I never said my logic trumps consensus, but my logic doesn't need to trump consensus because there is no clear consensus. One person supported a 2060 Newton prediction in 2011 (though the prediction was worded completely different from the text I removed). I opposed the recent wording in 2014, and one person seemed inclined to agree with me. Can you please explain why you think you have consensus for the 'world will not end before 2060' prediction? As mentioned in my previous reply, I have already started a new discussion on the articles talk page for a new consensus on the matter. The fact you left me a message on my talk page falsely claiming I did not provide an edit summary, and now refuse to acknowledge this once it is pointed out to you, speaks volumes about the kind of editor you are.

 * Thanks for the link, interesting stuff :). I considered adding a sentence about it making the 10 weirdest superhero film list to the legacy section of the article, but i'm not sure if it fits well/is too trivial of a mention. What do you think? I'm doing alright, have bad days but most of the time i'm fairly good. A little disappointed the Tank Girl FAC was closed but at least it has had an awful lot of improvements made to it so nominating it sometime down the track should prove much easier. I'll be here till at least September 7, if you don't hear from me within a couple days from that date, it means I won't be back for a while. Thanks for your support, it does mean a lot to me.

Request input on user
Hi Freikorp,

You and I have interacted with Sam56mas. That account has a history of edits on ACL, recognition of same-sex, and polygamy in Australia, promoting the polygamy issue all over the place. (eg    ) and pushed undue weight on transgender discussion

I only ever interacted with that user making POINTy edits on the AME page - I never saw their contribs on Islam.

That account ceased being used in 2014.

Looking at a recently created user's contribs - there are edits to only two articles, and strong themes about polygamy and transgender.

I was thinking of asking your advice about an SPI but seeing Sam56mas introducing stuff on Islam it seems less likely there's a link. Looks like it's not a sock and I was wrong.

Anyway probably not a sock, probably just a similar activist or paid editor without disclosure.

Anyway, thanks for your contributions, and if there's other issues that arise in future I may ask you a question about them. -- Callinus (talk) 16:21, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, and thanks for your message. I have had a lot of interactions with Sam56mas, but none recently. Sam56mas began as a single-purpose account that only edited the ACL article. The account initially completely ignored advice, warnings and pleas for co-operation from other editors, and was later temporarily blocked for edit-warring. After the block they started communicating, but they were completely unashamed about being a single-purpose account (they actually responded with "So what" when another editor pointed this out in a talk page discussion for the ACL article). After originally only being here to promote the ACL and ACL members, Sam56mas branched out ever so slightly, and began promoting articles affiliated with ACL or sharing their agenda, and adding criticism to those opposed to said groups, like GetUp!. Eventually I got sick of his arrogance and hypocrisy (he would actually accuse me of being here only to promote my own agenda, even though my edit history clearly showed the majority of my edits were to neutral pages) and I also decided it was a good idea for me to not edit the pages of controversial groups where I feel strongly one way of the other about the subject. Accordingly it's probably been well over a year since I interacted with him, maybe a lot longer. To be honest I don't want to waste another minute of my life interacting with him again


 * I noticed when the account first began adding information on polygamy; I believe he first started adding it to Australian Marriage Equality (AME), in an attempt to highlight how AME was in favour of gay marriage but not on polygamous marriage. It was clear he was trying to accuse AME of being hypocrites. I was under the impression he was a devout Christian who simply wanted to attack AME by bringing attention to the polygamy issue, but who knows, maybe he is in favour of polygamy.


 * I'd be surprised if this new account is a sock puppet, because Sam56mas has never been ashamed of his biased editing so probably wouldn't feel any need to create another account, but feel free to run it by Suckpuppet investigations if you want. Have a nice day. Freikorp (talk) 01:22, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter
The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:


 * , who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy.  A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
 * , second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
 * , first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany.  Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
 * , second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
 * , from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
 * , from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
 * , from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
 * , also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

 * No, the Imperial Napoleonic Triple Crown is for between 5 and 14 standard crowns total. As you already have 4 standard crowns, you would only need one more DYK, GA, and FC to qualify. After that though you'll need another 10 of each to jump to "Alexander the Great Edition Triple Laurel Crown". :) Freikorp (talk) 10:15, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Australian single/album release dates
Hi, I altered the Australian release dates on two pages you created, for Daryl Braithwaite's 'One Summer' and 'The Horses'. I noticed for the latter that you (or someone else who edited the page) put the date it entered the top 50 as its release date. This cannot have been accurate, as a single cannot enter the chart the day it was released. Up until September 1998, the ARIA charts were dated the Sunday of the week ending, meaning that the chart covered sales from the week before this week commenced. During this chart era, you need to subtract 13 days from the date it entered the chart (as singles/albums were usually released on a Monday back then) to find its latest release date - that is, assuming it entered the chart after one week of sales (it may not have). From September 1998, ARIA dated the chart week commencing (the Monday following the sales week it is based on), so you only need to subtract 7 days from the chart entry date, although I think australian-charts.com still uses the week ending date after this point for consistency.

Often singles take a couple of weeks to enter the top 50, so using the chart entry date from the australian-charts.com site for singles prior to September 1998 isn't always reliable. Gavin Ryan's 'Australia's Music Charts 1988-2010' book gives the entry date that singles/albums entered the top 100; though only top 50 data is displayed prior to January 1990. David Kent's 1970-1992 chart book gives top 100 entry dates prior to then, but his chart was not considered Australia's 'official' chart after 19 June 1988. However, it shows that 'One Summer' would have been released at the end of January 1989 at the latest, as it debuted on the Kent/Australian Music Report top 100 chart on 13 February 1989.Nqr9 (talk) 00:06, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
