March 2017 WikiCup newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
 * 🇪🇺 Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
 * 🇯🇵 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
 * Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. 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 equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything 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!

Request on 16:18:50, 6 March 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Vailjazz
My article was not approved because it states that it is lacking reliable sources that can be verified. I have cited several events/claims through the only newspaper that has covered them, the Vail Daily. The Vail Daily is an independent daily newspaper published by Colorado Mountain News Media that covers news and events in Eagle County, Colorado. Is this the source that is getting flagged as being unreliable? If not, can you help advise how to substantiate the article with reliable sources, since we are based in a small resort town and often only have one news outlet that covers our events?

Nomination of Anuradha T.K. for deletion
Hi, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga. Thanks for actively watching my articles. I understand your concerns about the article I created as part of Women in Red. If you feel that the article fails the General Notability Guidelines, help by improving it since it is important to have articles on women in science. I believe that deleting only takes us back to square one where there is a red link(again), whereas improving it would take us forward as a community. ManasaRao (talk) 06:09, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Firstly, sorry for nominating your article for deletion. Making it clear, I am watching over you articles, as New pages patroller, this page showed up in the new pages feed. I want to make it clear that I am not against the article. Anyways, I see that the article will be kept and has gained enough references to pass WP:GNG. Regarding "deleting only takes us back to square one", if it is to be deleted it is to be deleted, there is no case in that. Improving can be done, if the subject meets the notability standards. Here per the deletion policy, the nominator doesn't have any responsibility of improving the article prior to its nomination. Wish you all the best for you articles on women in science. As I can see that you have recently started contributing to English Wikipedia, I extend my support and ask you not to hesitate for any query or help.

Battle of Tripolje
Hi, since you have undertook GA review I want to inform you I added some stuff to the article. By the way there are ongoing discussions on the talk. The first topic is Anzulovic, a source that was deleted by nominator even though they needed to find an agreement before doing so. They seem to refuse to seek an agreement on talk and are near an edit war. The article is continuously a target of vandalism and edit warring by IPs linked to a blocked editor. The reason is disagreement on use of Anzulovic as a source. The other topic is more complicated and can be read on the talk page of article. Regards. Ktrimi991 (talk) 11:26, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter
The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
 * 🇯🇵 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
 * Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
 * Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to 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 10 days of "earning" them. 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 equally.

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4
Hello ,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just reviews, the  backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Operation Trident (1971) finally corrected
Hello, this message is to let you know that I have now, finally, fixed the errors that you introduced on the article Operation Trident (1971), after you did nothing to fix the problems even despite my letting you know about your serious errors several months ago.

Please could you make sure to be much more careful when interpreting sources in the English language -- you completely misunderstood this source and did not correct your serious errors even when I highlighted them to you. If you are not fully confident with the English language then it may not be appropriate for you to "worked up from the scratch" and "make up good content" as you state above in your talk page that you plan to do.

WikiCup 2017 July newsletter
The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.

Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, 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!

I don't know if you have noticed, but there is a new competition starting tomorrow, that is co-arranged by UNESCO and Wikimedia Sverige – the COH Challenge. This time, the purpose is to get as many of the images uploaded as part of the Connected Open Heritage project (e.g. of world heritage sites, the images can be found here) as possible to be used in Wikipedia articles (however, at most five images – with caption – per article).

I hope you want to participate! :)

Best, Eric Luth (WMSE) (talk) 15:36, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

BAP Unión
Hi, Im who nominated BAP Unión for a GA status. I Just want to say that someone told me that a good articule should have some bibliographic sources. I understand this. The problem is that the Union is a ship recently built (2015) and commissioned (2016), so for now there is no bibliographic (books) sources. All sources we have are internet sources. I hope you consider that. Regards --Elelch (talk) 17:32, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * As far as I as know, there is no such guideline, the only thing is that all the sources must meet WP:RS. --Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 00:10, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello I did the corrections that you recommended in BAP Unión, so I hope it now filled the requirements to get GA status. Regards.--Elelch (talk) 19:27, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter
Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

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 Needed. 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 reduce 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 man (or woman) win!

 * The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
 * Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: 
 * On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
 * Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles.

Edward Snowden very long tag
Krishna Chaitanya Velaga, the {very long} tag that you added to Edward Snowden on 12 May 2016 has become a permanent fixture. I would like to reduce the article's size but cannot locate the any corresponding thread in the Talk Page archives where editors forged a consensus that it was then discussed it being overlong. Please, can you help me? In order to move us closer to ultimately removing your tag, it is essential that I understand the thinking that went into placing it there in the first place. Also, if you could take a quick look at this BLP as it stands, I'd appreciate your thoughts on its current length, nearly 1½ years after your tagging. Thank you!

About adding images to Dhyana Buddha
Sir, In the recent edit edit you made to Dhyana Buddha statue, you have added too many images, such that they even dominated the article. As per MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE an article should not have many images, since Wikimedia Commons serves the same purpose.—IM3847 (talk) 06:23, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
