Please do not add or change content, as you did at Frantz Mathieu, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GiantSnowman 16:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

A simple WP:CITENEED would have been suffice Snowman; (could extend the assuming good faith a bit here too). Honestly, it was late and was going to continue it later and forgot about it. Mathieu also had other honours in previous years and for the record, it doesn't appear to be sourced here either: 1981 North American Soccer League season. Thanks for the reminder though. Cheers.

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.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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!

Redirects
Hello, I've declined your speedy nomination of Haiti Invasion of Dominican Republic and Haitian Invasion of the Dominican Republic. Deletion under WP:R3 is for recently created redirects that aren't the result of a page move, but both of these redirects were created years ago as a result of renaming articles. If you still think they're not useful redirects, you can list them for discussion at WP:RFD. clpo13(talk) 23:16, 10 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I just may do that. Savvyjack23 (talk) 23:59, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Reflist|4
Hi. Just letting you know that reflist|2/3/4 are all deprecated per Template:Reflist. If you don't know the best ways to format these are:
 * reflist|35em for 2 columns
 * reflist|30em for 3 columns
 * reflist|40em for 4 columns

Most of the time, 4 columns don't really need to be used unless an article has well over 200 or so refs. thanks --Jennica ✿ / talk 15:51, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reply. Well, as for the redirects. it is probably best to leave them. Also, any edit should have an edit summary. With no summary, we have to click the diff to see what happened. Saves you time but costs others (often more than one person) time to check. I'm sure you understand that when others don't leave a summary. Many thanks for your understanding. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:59, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Tomato sauce
In your sandbox now is the final iteration of the Talk page of the deleted article. As mentioned on my Talk page, given that there's already an article on Tomato sauce, the redirect there may not be a bad move, although I doubt many would type in "(condiment)" as well. Your call, either way. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:17, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Black American Sign Language as African Diasporic Language
Hi Savvyjack23, I'm about to start a round of translating Featured articles into Haitian Creole and choosing the least frequently edited ones. BASL seemed great and I noticed your name on the talk page removing it from Languages of the African Diaspora. I'd argue for it returning into that category on one complete-but-très-feasible hypothetical and a deductive-slightly-less-hypothetical. 1) The complete hypothetical - the article notes that BASL has a larger signing space. I'm guessing this is because of Afrisporic movement language which not only uses a wider range of movements compared to European but is also more integral to daily life and shapes both bodies and communication. 2) The article mentions how BASL signers tend to adopt different rhythm patterns and a "songified" speech - this seems to be a direct throwback to the tonality and rhythm of languages of Africa and the diaspora. I would say that these two elements point to an African language geneology. Cheers! Anacaona (talk) 02:21, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

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!

Guianan Creole
Salut, On parle en français STP, euh en fait comme je fais beaucoup de modification sur mon mobile, j'ai rencontré beaucoup de problèmes en voulant juste renommer la page Guianan Creole, car j'appuyait sur de mauvaise touche sans le vouloir et aussi le correcteur français de mon mobile modifiait mes modifications et surtout qu'a l'époque j'étais un peu nouveau sur le Wikipedia Anglais du coup j'ai fait beaucoup de bêtises sans le vouloir, Désolé !

Et oui je préfère le nom "Guianan Creole" parce que je trouve que ça marque une assez large différence avec la page du Guyanese Creole alors que le nom "Guianese Creole" rappelait trop ce dernier...! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeGuyanaisPure (talk • contribs) 23:57, 18 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.

Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round.

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🇺🇸 Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
 * 🇩🇪 FrB.TG, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
 * 🇮🇳 Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
 * 🇺🇸 Ceranthor, 🇮🇳 Numerounovedant, Carbrera, 🇳🇱 Farang Rak Tham and 🇷🇴 Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

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.

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter
The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
 * Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
 * 🇮🇳 Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
 * 🇺🇸 Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
 * Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
 * Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter 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 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.
