WikiCup 2015 May newsletter
The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus. Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
 * was one of several users who worked on improving Ulysses S. Grant. Remember, you do not need to work on an article on your own - as long as each person has completed significant work on the article during 2015, multiple competitors can claim the same article.
 * took Dragonfly to Good Article for a 3x bonus - and if that wasn't enough, they also took Damselfly there as well for a 2x bonus.
 * worked up Alexander Hamilton to Good Article for the maximum bonus. Hamilton was one of the founding fathers of the United States and is a level 4 vital article.

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! , and  16:56, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

The contributions to the Mayor of Baltimore City's page are entirely correct and legitimate.

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter
The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:


 * , who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy.  A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
 * , second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
 * , first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany.  Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
 * , second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
 * , from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
 * , from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
 * , from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
 * , also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

The page has C-Class with mid-importance, but again it says This article has not yet received a rating at the bottom of that, is that duplicate?--Vin09 (talk) 11:16, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ratings for each project have to be given separately. It seems WPIndia was rated and WPCities was left out in this case. I've fixed it and updated the rating now. I recommend using rater for rating articles of any project. Cheers,   ƬheStrike  Σagle   12:44, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Sections/lines
Please see Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_60. As per Sections/lines reference. How to create branch lines/sections, like Vijayawada-Guntur (known names) or Kirhsna Canal-Guntur (as per division) would be correct? My created articles are Guntur-Krishna Canal section, Nallapadu–Pagidipalli section, Tenali-Repalle branch line. I followed divisional website reference, rathar than main city name.--Vin09 (talk) 12:52, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * You could try Vijayawada junction - Guntur junction section maybe? Seems OK to me. No other alternatives seem viable. Cheers,  ƬheStrike  Σagle   13:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, but the reference has length and info on Krishna Canal-Guntur, let's see. I'll gather much info from others. Thanks.--Vin09 (talk) 15:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Rater
Please check User:Vin09/common.js. Is this ok? It says "page could contain malicious content capable of compromising your account". Is that safe or just a normal warning?--Vin09 (talk) 07:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's perfectly alright. Cheers,  ƬheStrike  Σagle   07:25, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * How to rate an article with that Rater? I've clicked it and it shows a box. Do we need to add on our own? It does not automatically add rating?--Vin09 (talk) 07:46, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it is the reference for cities -> WikiProject_Indian_cities. So, Vizag article may get B and not C I guess. I've tried Talk:Guntur to set it as mid-importance.--Vin09 (talk) 08:11, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's more a guide but not binding. Vijayawada and/or Visakhapatnam come under Top category due to their strategic importance and economic activity. The grades C or B are determined by the article quality...not population. See Quality Scale as of how to rate according to quality. Cheers,  ƬheStrike  Σagle   12:13, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've tried in Guntur page, can you see that.--Vin09 (talk) 14:51, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * IMO Guntur falls in C category as its refs or the whole content is not perfectly distributed. For example, there are way too many subsections which are very short. See Hyderabad for a perfectly structured article. Cheers,  ƬheStrike  Σagle   16:19, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

That B category was not mine which is WikiProject India, I've edited for wiki cities which I gave C only.--Vin09 (talk) 17:19, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

On Your Edits to the Indo-Pak Relations Template
Stop removing content from the Indo-Pak Relations template. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of reversing your edits. --113.203.190.119 (talk) 11:01, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Unless you prove how there are these hypothetical space race and supercomputer race going on b/w India and Pakistan (as you claim), I will keep on reverting you. Calling me a moron will only get you blocked, won't help you push your self-satisfying POV. Thank you,  ƬheStrike  Σagle   15:41, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

We both have active space programmes and are involved in supercomputing. This comes under the scientific rivalry. Yes, I will admit you Indians are far ahead in these things, but we Pakistanis are still involved in these things also. So therefore it should in the template, so stop removing it. And everytime you remove it, I'll revert it back. --113.203.220.251 (talk) 15:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Having active space or scientific program doesn't account to rivalry. Going by your logic, India has scientific rivalry with all the nations of the world! I won't revert you again if you provide any reliable sources to support your claim of rivalry. Otherwise you would be blocked for disruption and pushing original research soon. Cheers,  ƬheStrike  Σagle   15:58, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

OK then, why don't you also remove the sports rivalry content in the template? Knowing Pakistan and India have rivalries in alll spheres should be common sense. We have had historical problems with each other and seeked to outdo each other in every field. It belongs in the template. Also stop threatening me with the banning. You can get banned too. --113.203.220.251 (talk) 16:03, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The sports rivalry article also exists and is well sourced. So no comparison at all. No its not common sense to assume hypothetical comparisons. Please don't waste your time preaching me about rivalries. Either get some neutral reliable sources or self-revert. Else someone else will revert you anyway.  ƬheStrike  Σagle   16:09, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Fine. Let's just remove WMDs, space, IT and supercomputing from the template and put only the science and technology in India and Pakistan articles in the template. --39.44.73.204 (talk) 16:13, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
