U:TOWW
Hey, I've deleted this redirect as it was a cross-namespace redirect not permitted by WP:R2. The U: prefix does not actually put a page in the user namespace. signed,Rosguill talk 17:34, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for letting me know! User:Thatone weird wikier &#124; Oh,   Toodles!  17:47, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Concerning The Now Now
Hey there! You may remember me from your recent failed FAC for The Now Now where I suggested that you add a song-by-song composition section to the page. Incidentally, I was looking through some of my old files recently and happened to find a rough draft of a section like this for that exact article (admittedly with some tracks missing) that I started working on some time before the FAC; you can check it out here. Hope this helps you in your efforts. Phil roc  (c) 12:44, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Hollaback Girl
I'd like to thank you for all of your contributions to "Hollaback Girl". It's the final song from L.A.M.B. to become GA status on Wikipedia so it's nice to see. I noticed you have plans to renominate Featured topics/Love. Angel. Music. Baby. and I am here to ask you if you wouldn't mind joint-nominating it. I helped bring articles like "Harajuku Girls", "The Real Thing", "Serious", and "Long Way to Go" to GA status and I would love to assist in the next step. Let me know and once again, thanks for your contributions. Carbrera (talk) 21:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC).
 * Thanks for asking, but I've already nominated it. However, I can put you down as a nominator, if you wish. User:Thatone weird wikier  &#124;  Conversations  and  Contributions  04:29, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I would appreciate that. Carbrera (talk) 12:51, 22 June 2020 (UTC).

Lovely (Billie Eilish and Khalid song)
Hello:

Thank you for your copy edit of the article "Lovely (Billie Eilish and Khalid song)" requested at the Guild of Copy Editors.

While your edits improved the article there were still problems with its wording, the way the sentences flowed, verb tense and punctuation. The song's tempo also needed clarification. I invite you to have a look at the article's edit history to see the additional changes I made during my edits. I'm sure you would have caught these issues if you had worked more slowly. According to the time stamps you spent eight minutes working on the article. This is simply not enough time to do the article justice.

Before you undertake a copy edit of another GOCE request you might find it helpful to review these pages which provide useful information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simplified_Manual_of_Style

If you have any questions while you're editing, I'd be happy to try to answer them.

Regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:46, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the extra notes. This was my first GOCE copyedit in a while so I think I was a bit rusty. User:Thatone weird wikier  &#124;  Conversations  and  Contributions  14:05, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Notice
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. '' You can't restore the nonsense content. Don't do that.'' 107.77.189.39 (talk) 18:50, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
 * Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, 🇩🇰 MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember 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. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

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 Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
