IRC invitation
Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes. If you are not customarily logged into the IRC, use this link. This under used resource can allow real time discussion at this particularly timely venture of the trial known as Pending Changes. Even if nothing can come from debating points there, at least this invitation is delivered with the best of intentions and good faith expectations. Kind regards.

Re:WikiProject Wikify's Newsletter.
Hi SumSum2010, I looked the newsletter section over, but I'm not exactly sure where to start. How do you go about writing these editorials? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Simply, write about something related to WikiProject Wikify. Here's some other suggestions that may help; Why did you join?, What is the point of Wikifying?, How to help the Project., Build on what Pjoef wrote in January. Hopepully those suggestions help. If you think up something else that is relevent to Wikiy, feel free towrite aout it instead! If you don't mind, could you write it at WikiProject Wikify/News/March 2011/Editorials/Draft. That will just make the assembly easier for me. Thanks, again, for the willingness to write it! Sumsum2010 · T · C · Review me!  02:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

re: edit to make or break tv
I corrected a deadlink for the actual show's current page. Thats not vandalism, right? I don't understand the issue you had with that. Please explain. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.234.53 (talk) 05:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It isn't vandalism, sorry about the revert. Your first edit was fine. But the second one is not quite the right thing for Wikipedia. I will restore the first one, it was improperly reverted. Sorry about the mistake! Sumsum2010 · T · C · Review me!  00:45, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Word counting in February 2011 Wikification drive
Hi, I was unsure how to count my words for the wikification drive. I got about 1/3 of the way through the 18575 word article Young Men's Buddhist Association before getting suspicious of a copyvio, which I eventually found. In the other articles, I wikified a total of 17614 words. How should I add this to get my final word count score? Does the YMBA article count as (1/3)*(18575 words), the word count after the copyvio was removed (around 200 words), or no words at all? (This is the reason for the "?" in place of my word count and article count on the drive log.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:28, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, its too late to start changing numbers. It would have counted as the amount wikified after the copyvio was removed. Sorry about that news. On the bright side, your barnstar is now on the way, for the other articles! Sumsum2010 · T · C · Review me!  01:39, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * OK! Thanks! Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:02, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

WPWD Drive invitations
I realized two days ago that we had only five participants signed up because the invites hadn't been sent off yet. Unfortunately, nobody's bothered to approve my MessageDeliveryBot request. (I should have let you do it, since you're pre-approved, I believe. Sorry...) Unfortunately, the Wikimedia servers are unstable right now, but when I can browse without "Wikimedia Error" popping up every time, I'll do an AWB run and get those invites sent. However, if it doesn't looks like I've sent them yet, feel free to send them using MessageDelBot or whatever (but warn me on my talk page). Thanks. Guoguo12 --Talk--  14:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 March newsletter
We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is with 231 points, who leads Pool H.  (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see WikiCup/Scoring.

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

What are you doing?!

 * You closed Articles for deletion/Tanekichi_Onishi as Keep. Perhaps you do not realize that the nominator also has an !vote considered in the AfD. Therefore, I see that the AfD has two keep versus two delete !votes, simply on numerical terms (although that's not the way to count). Thus, this was not an AfD that a non-admin could have closed. Even an admin would have relisted the AfD. Kindly immediately revert your closure edit. Thanks.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  15:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have reopened the AfD. Kindly do not from now on close borderline AfDs. Close calls like the one shown in this AfD should be left to administrators. Please go through NACD again. And yes, do write back on my talk page for any clarification in case you desire. Warm regards.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  16:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I didn't think about the fact that the nomination vote counts with the rest of them. Next time I will be much more careful about what I'm doing over there. Sumsum2010 · T · C  23:40, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter
Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. , who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.

This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to and  who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!

Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
