WikiCup 2013 February newsletter
Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
 * , primarily for an array of warship GAs.
 * , primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
 * , due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with, this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:
 * , whose Portal:Massachusetts is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores.
 * , whose Mycena aurantiomarginata was the first featured article this year.
 * and, who both claimed points for articles in the Major League Baseball tie-breakers topic, the first topic points in the competition.
 * , who claimed for the first full good topic with the Casting Crowns studio albums topic.

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by : did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hey there,

You just rejected the gridon article submission claiming its an advertisement. Since the last rejection, the article has been updated to be solely informative with no advertising type hints.

your review of my reviews for AfC
I declined this as needing sources because the only valid sources were for historical events. There are apparently also references to two articles that try to estimate the date of the events in the films but that is conjecture. Also the article mixed real events with fictional in a way that did not distinguish them.
 * Timeline for Pirates of the Caribbean

This article had been modified and resubmitted well after the other copy had been declined.
 * Samantha Fish

Read like a very promotional article before I ran a check and found that text had been copied from their webstie and removed it. I beleive I declined it with reason of adv before going and checking for copyright issues and didn't change it, so this one I might have messed up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hal9000w (talk • contribs) 00:57, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Australian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2011-12


A tag has been placed on Australian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2011-12 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, or user talk page from the article space.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. DASHBot (talk) 12:16, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Landstown Commons
Thank you Pratyya for reviewing my page about Landstown Commons shopping center in Virginia Beach. I completed development of this project myself - I don't know what other reliable sources are needed in a case like this. My Linkedin profile at www.linkedin.com/in/jimcarr27/ shows that I did develop the center. If I can send some additional information - signed documents, etc. - I am happy to do so.

Please reconsider your rejection and allow the posting of this project. It was a major change event for the city and people will want to know about it in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Primespot (talk • contribs) 13:38, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

'Bold text' Southwaleslady (talk) 03:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Hello. Can you help with these questions? The material I used for the article were primary sources, Queensland government official electricity supply industry documents including annual reports and reports from directors/managers of the regional electricity boards. These official documents are available at the public archives of Queensland State Archives, State Library of Queensland (John Oxley Library) and Queensland Energy Museum (currently located at Highfields Pioneer Village near Toowoomba in Queensland). I am the Director of Queensland Energy Museum and wrote the book, Switched-on Queensland, which has the chapter on Toowoomba Electric Light and Power Company. To gain publication of the article, how can I address the issues of non-relevant material when these are publically available official Queensland Government documents? How do I reference the material? Hope you can advise. Thank you for reveiwing the draft, Southwaleslady Southwaleslady (talk) 03:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Your English is terrible!
How can you claim that you're a native English speaker? With all due respect, I request you to change that Babel box to "This user can contribute with an intermediate level of English" instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.98.119.199 (talk) 15:37, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * With due respect I'm asking what makes you think that my English is terrible?-- Pr at yya  (Hello!) 15:45, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Pratyya, I concur with the IP about the English. However, I don't think it's so bad that it's "terrible". Just that you make some errors here and there only. Also, it can be forgiven as I think your country speaks mainly Bengali. That's all.  Arctic   Kangaroo  16:09, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I didn't really mean to... It's just that I couldn't bear the fact that you were claiming to be a native English speaker. I agree with Arctic Kangaroo; I was somewhat exaggerating when I said your English is "terrible", but it's not good enough to allow you to claim that you're a native English speaker either. If you're not good at English, accept it and nobody will bother you. At least don't overclaim it. When you do, it really annoys some people (like me). If I'm still disagreed with on this, I can point out a few obvious errors in the description on your user page (before you go and correct them). Again, no offense intended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.245.112.33 (talk) 04:58, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It's me again. My ISP keeps changing my IP address, so don't get baffled. The first and the last comments (excluding this one) on this topic were made by me, although the IP addresses don't match. I know I'll be asked to create an account on Wikipedia to avoid such confusion. I'll soon do it, but not just yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.245.112.33 (talk) 05:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 March newsletter
We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate  (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.

Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr, on the European hare , on the constellation Circinus ( and ) and on the Third Epistle of John. All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.

Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.

A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
