Any progress on this article? I see that the last edit was on March 2. I think the deadlinks issue has been resolved, but I am still concerned about the broadness issue (criterion #3). Specifically:


 * Based on the Wikiproject Films Style Guide, the article appears mostly complete. What is missing is some discussion on themes, or "unifying or dominant ideas and motifs in a film's elements (such as plot, dialogue, photography, and sound) conveying a position or message about life, society, and human nature."

Let me know if this can be finished soon. GA on hold status is intended to be wrapped up within about 2-3 weeks. Thanks! WTF? (talk) 02:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Ai! Sorry, my wikibreak has gotten a lot more limiting lately. I won't really be free until the summer, but I hope to get some editing in. I really hope this doesn't fail; waiting for a review was extremely painful. I'll try, but I hope this doesn't fail if I fail to finish. D= -- Twilight  Helryx  03:38, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

TSS original airing
Hey, I was wondering how I ought to handle a discussion about what to put as the original airing for The Secret Saturdays. Since the show has not had new episodes ordered and even if new episodes were ordered there would be more than a year from now until their airing should it be listed as having ended on January 30, 2010? Or should it still be shown as airing in the Present because an official cancellation has not yet been announced by Cartoon Network? Do you know how this has been handled on other shows with similar situations?

Hit me back on my Talk page. Thanks.

 * Replying in moment.-- Twilight  Helryx  00:55, 18 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. In the meantime, at the suggestion of [User:Aussie Legend] I have elected to let the matter slide and leave it as showing the show to be ongoing, until January 30, 2011 when the show will have been in limbo for a year.  He is involved on other TV show wiki pages and so seemed to be quite reliable as a guide.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Edit warring with a bot doesn't do anything productive
Bots are stupid and do exactly what they're told to do. I tell it what to do, therefore I am also stupid. Thankfully, I am slightly less stupid than the bot so I will try to get to the bottom of this. harej 00:03, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You appear to have figured out the cause, so it's now the bot's fault. Basically, to save time, the bot caches some information. It had transcribed the whole spiel to be your signature and stored it in a database. I've updated it in the database now. harej  00:08, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
