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!

Re: List of colleges and universities in Michigan
Wow, great list! You should put the Oregon list of colleges on your "to do" list. :) BTW, check out the List of awards and nominations received by Fiona Apple--makes a great companion to the list of songs we put together! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:30, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! :) I had a few extra days of free time to devote to editing. Oregon's actually isn't in too bad of shape (compared to some other colleges lists), though it has outdated data and is disorganized. I will add it to my long to do list. Well done with your list!

There're a few issues, so I've put the GA status "on hold". Please check: Talk:The_Firebrand/GA1. Michael! (talk) 21:33, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for rewriting the article. I had a second, more careful look at it today. Most of the issues are solved and I made a few minor edits myself. However, I discovered some other things you should have a look at. When you've addressed those, I'll pass it as a GA. Michael! (talk) 16:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I saw this on the main page, but forgot to come and congratulate you. The article looks so much better since you expanded it. I'm hoping to get back to working on the Emma film soon. I've also submitted Sense and Sensibility (2008 TV miniseries) to be copy edited, before I nominate it at GAN. I was a little concerned about the quality of prose, since I kinda rushed to finish it. - JuneGloom    Talk  02:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It was only a small expansion -- it still needs a lot more work (but at least now there's a DVD cover to help distingush it from the Paltrow film)! Your Emma article looks great by the way, it's approaching the GA-level very quickly. S&S looks good already, but another copy edit never hurts.  Ruby  2010/  2013  15:34, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Wikify April Drive
Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 500 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks!

-- Message delivered by EdwardsBot (talk) 22:12, 31 March 2013 (UTC) on behalf of WikiProject Wikify.

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!

Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt
Hi Ruby, thank you for pointing at the policy on naming conventions for nobility and royalty (it's always good to learn something new), but I haven't found the paragraph or section that supports your change. Could you please go further into your reversion? Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 23:35, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Ecemaml, the policy I was referring to is Naming conventions (royalty and nobility), which says:
 * "Where they have no substantive title, use the form "{title} {name} of {country}", e.g. Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark. Use only the highest prefix title the person ever held and used (roughly before the 17th century, prince/ss would not be prefixed automatically)." Hope that helps.

Fringe
Yesterday there was a marathon of Fringe on the Science Channel and my friend and I tuned in and watched on and off. We saw most of "Marionette", some of "The Firefly", and the beginning of "Reciprocity". I can't say we completely understood it, but we both really enjoyed it. Glimmer721 talk  22:51, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Too bad you missed "Entrada", one of my favorite episodes. There's a lot of mythology in the episodes you watched, so I'm not surprised you were a little confused! Glad you enjoyed them.  Ruby  2010/  2013  23:09, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter
We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and  claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place and second place  both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.

The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.

A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. 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!

Thank you for expanding our knowledge of people, royalty like Caroline of Ansbach and writers like Wendy Moore, with scientific background and Letters of Transit. Hope you appreciate a sapphire, Ruby ;) - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Welcome Back
Welcome back! I forgot to mention, but Fringe was put on Netflix a couple months or so ago and I'm planning on getting to it once I finish my Buffy the Vampire Slayer binge (I really want to see that musical episode). I did watch about five minutes of the pilot. I got a bit burnt out and haven't edited as much, and I'm not so sure about "The Eleventh Hour" GA, but I've found some more behind-the-scenes info for most of the new series, so I'm going to try to work on some of the earlier episodes...if I can just stay focused. If you ever need a break or want to try something new, there's certainly some to do! So what are you working on? Glimmer721 <sup style="color:blue;">talk  01:53, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! :) I saw that Fringe was up. One of these days I'll binge-watch Buffy. Let me know when you start Fringe -- it's best during its second and third seasons (when the series' mythology really picks up). I'm working on nothing in particular at the moment, just keeping multiple projects afloat (bringing Sense and Sensibility to FA, List of songs recorded by Dido to FL, The Firebrand to FA, Fringe S1 episodes to GT, etc... I wish I had more time!) It seems like every time I log in I find more things I want to work on. I would love to see more Doctor Who episodes make it to GA (I've been eyeing "The Doctor's Daughter" for GA for a while now...). Perhaps that will be part of my next project.

 * The thing I'm going to have to get used to with Fringe is a character name Olivia, since that's also my name. This is the Confidential for "The Doctor's Daughter". User:Sceptre was working on the fourth series a while ago, so those articles are more in shape than 1-3. I've focused mainly on 1, and will hopefully finish some off when I get the DVD set (I found it $50 off on Amazon and begged my parents to get it for my birthday), so most of 2-3 is in need of clean up. I also have some special features to finish looking through on Remembrance of the Daleks and really need to finish off series 6...just the main article and Night and the Doctor, which I don't really know what to do with since that's all the information that seems to be available. Glimmer721  <sup style="color:blue;">talk  20:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Ha, that should make you love it even more! :) And wow, there's so much to do! Plus I've been wanting to dive back into Lost episodes again, especially S3. I will definitely use that Confidential video when I eventually get around to improving "The Doctor's Daughter" (others like Sceptre have already done some great work with it, so it shouldn't take that much more effort). I figure that will be my guinea pig Who episode, then hopefully I can take what I learned there into improving others. We will see!  Ruby  2010/  2013  05:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It was quite strange when they were talking about "Fauxlivia". I'm going to be working on "Gridlock". As for "The Doctor's Daughter", I have a source that should sum up the whole "The Doctor's daughter was played by the Doctor's daughter and then married the Doctor and the two have a daughter" thing. (It also has two reviews and maybe some other useful info.) Glimmer721  <sup style="color:blue;">talk  20:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
