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!

Thank you for your participation in the March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive


On behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, we would like to take the time and thank you for your contributions made as part of the March 2011 Good articles backlog elimination drive. Awards and barnstars will go out shortly for those who have reviewed a certain number of articles.

During the backlog drive, in the month of March 2011,
 * 522 GA nominations were undertaken.
 * 423 GA nominations passed.
 * 72 GA nominations failed.
 * 27 GA nominations were on hold.

We started the GA backlog elimination drive with 378 GA nominations remaining, with 291 that were not reviewed at all. By 2:00, April 1, 2011, the backlog was at 171 GA nominations, with 100 that were left unreviewed.

At the start of the drive, the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 101 days (Andrei Kirilenko (politician), at 20 November 2010, reviewed and passed 1 March 2011); at the end of the drive the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 39 days (Gery Chico, at 24 February 2011, still yet to be reviewed as of this posting).

While we did not achieve the objective of getting the backlog of outstanding GA nominations down to below 50, we reduced the GA backlog by over half. The GA reviews also seemed to be of a higher quality and have consistently led, to say the least, to marginal improvements to those articles (although there were significant improvements to many, even on the some of the nominations that were failed).

If you would like to comment on the drive itself and maybe even make suggestions on how to improve the next one, please make a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/March 2011. Another GA backlog elimination drive is being planned for later this year, tentatively for September or October 2011. Also, if you have any comments or remarks on how to improve the Good article process in general, WikiProject Good articles can always use some feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles.

Again, on behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, thank you for making the March 2011 GA backlog elimination drive a success.

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.

Objection to Deletion of DailyMile page
Hello, I would like to register my objection to your deletion at 06:45 on 2 March 2011 of the page I created called "DailyMile" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dailymile, which outlined the history and uses of the exercise social networking site DailyMile.

You cited your reason for deletion as "G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion." I looked up the definition on Wikipedia for this and saw that it is intended for "Pages that are exclusively promotional". I do not work for DailyMile, nor do I receive any form of payment from them for promoting their product. I have used their site for more than a year now and wanted to archive its existence and growth for posterity on Wikipedia.

I would like to argue that my article did attempt to describe the website from a neutral point of view, and therefore did not qualify for this criterion.

There are articles on Wikipedia describing similar social networking sites online, such as the article on Ravelry, a knitting site, which I used to model my article on. I can see that you are a specialist in American military history and would like to inquire why you deleted a new media article?

Can you please reinstate this article? I do not have a local copy of the original on my computer, and did not anticipate that the article would be so summarily removed, without my getting any notification as the creator, after it had been in existence since June 2010. Please reinstate my DailyMile article, I worked very hard on it and am quite upset to find it gone. :( Pipesdreams (talk) 18:56, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 June newsletter
We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by, claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by , who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by, who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.

No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.

We would again like to thank and  for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2011 July newsletter
We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are (Pool A, 189 points) and  (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article (White-bellied Sea Eagle, from ) and two featured lists (Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from ). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!

There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there.

WikiCup 2011 September newsletter
The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:


 * , Pool A's winner. Casliber has the highest total score in the competition, with 1528, the bulk of which is made up of 8 featured articles. He has the highest number of total featured articles (8, 1 of which was eligible for double points) and total did you knows (72) of any finalist. Casliber writes mostly on biology, including ornithology, botany and mycology.

PresN is the only finalist who has scored featured topic points, and he has gathered an impressive 330, but most of his points come from his 4 featured articles, one of which scored double. PresN writes mostly on video games and the Hugo Awards.
 * , Pool A's runner-up. Hurricanehink's points are mostly from his 30 good articles, more than any other finalist, and he is also the only finalist to score good topic points. Hurricanehink, as his name suggests, writes mostly on meteorology.
 * , Pool B's runner-up. Wizardman has completed 86 good article reviews, more than any other finalist, but most of his points come from his 2 featured articles. Wizardman writes mostly on American sport, especially baseball.
 * , the "fastest loser" (Pool A). Miyagawa has written 3 featured lists, one of which was awarded double points, more than any other finalist, but he was awarded points mostly for his 68 did you knows. Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, including dogs, military history and sport.
 * , the second "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Resolute's points come from his 9 good articles. He writes mostly on Canadian topics, including ice hockey.
 * , who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool A). Most of Evan's points come from his 10 good articles, and he writes mostly on meteorology.
 * , who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Phil's points come from his 9 good articles, 4 of which (more than any other finalist) were eligible for double points. He writes mostly on aeronautics.

We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists,, , , , , and. Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.

In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate. The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.

A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, 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.

Articles for deletion/Jeremy Reading
Could you please explain why you applied a supervote to redirect when 100% consensus was delete?. LibStar (talk) 04:52, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It seemed to be that having the article as a redirect would be logical, given that the page for the competition itself existed and (at least at the moment) doesn't seem to be controversial in its existence. Having the redirect in existence also reduces the possibility that somebody will come along and recreate the page because "oh, they don't have an article on him, I should write one", which I've seen happen on multiple occasions, with the resulting speedy and salting winding up ruffling feathers. In addition, redirects are cheap. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:59, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Quadjets?
Never heard the expression before I presume an Americanism? much prefered Four-engine aircraft! MilborneOne (talk) 10:42, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, the term was also used in a number of articles on Wiki already (also gets ~11,000 Ghits), and it seemed to work better than "Four-engined jet aircraft" or "Four-engined jets" (to me at least!) since it fits with "trijet" and "twinjet". Of course if consensus is "four-engined jets" (under any name a subcat of "Four-engined aircraft" as it is now) is preferable that's no problem. :) (And I think I'll steer well clear of "sexjet"!) - The Bushranger One ping only 21:01, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

It's great that you wanted to update it, but in order to update it you'd need a reference stating that, in 2011, the aircraft are still on display. The fact that they are is not verifiable without a source, especially in a Featured Article.. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:45, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Scott Dudelson page
hello. I just got your message that a page I created for individual "Scott Dudelson" has been flagged for speedy deletion because you felt it was a duplicate of a previously deleted page. I would like to contest this deletion as this page is substantially different from the originally deleted page and includes an abundance of links that show notability. I am a follower of the loyalty industry and Scott Dudelson is a major and influential contributor to this space. I kindly request that you please review the current page vs. the old page, and the source links and please advise why this individual does not meet notability guidelines. Thank you (StanleyJean05 (talk) 06:16, 30 September 2011 (UTC))
 * I compared the more recent page to the page that was originally deleted via the deletion discussion, and found that there was no significant difference. The multiple source links were also primarily to unreliable sources. As an aside, while unrelated to the speedy deletion, the article's focus was badly mis-aimed, being much more about the acts of the companies Dudelson was employed by during his employment with them, rather than about Dudelson himself.- The Bushranger One ping only 15:49, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * While i respect your authority in relation to Wikipedia, i'm not quite convinced you are correct here.  In relation to the unreliable sources, the reference material provided is some of the most reputable business publications on the web - Inc Magazine, New York Times, BNet, and others.  Further, how does one separate the achievements of a company vs the individual when the individual was leading the company (and the source material backs this up)? I would like to get a closer review of this by another editor
 * Not a problem. :) Happy to have others check it out. - The Bushranger One ping only 16:32, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Alessio Rastani
I've created a stub for Alessio Rastani...if you feel it fails WP:N, feel free to open an afd.Smallman12q (talk) 18:50, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure he's quite notable enough, but that stub looks reasonable enough for me to have around - well-referenced and gets the point across as to who he is and why he's notable. :) Others might contest WP:BLP1E but I have no problem with it myself. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:54, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Trollish IP & WP:REDACT

 * The IP is back at it again on Talk:City Harvest Church, mind giving a hand or block? -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 20:33, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Troll-Away has been applied, one application good for 24 hours. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:36, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Should have mett out a 31 hours block, that way he has to do some extra calculation to know when he might be able to get back in there. And I just noticed you got the editnotice I got from Tedder... ha~! -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 20:40, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I liked it so much I took it and then I drove it like I stole it. ;) - The Bushranger One ping only 20:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Have a great weekend ahead... btw, my car smells great now thanks to troll-away!! -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 20:44, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

You probably saw this
But if you're really ready to indefblock that IP user, he vandalized a few minutes after your first-and-only warning but before you blocked him for a year. Maybe three years? City O f Silver 21:03, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Whoops, duh, obviously you knew this, you reverted him before the block, too. Never mind. City <font color="Green" face="Modern">O <font color="Red" face="Modern">f <font color="SlateGrey" face="Modern">Silver 21:06, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunatly there's no option for blocking longer than a year other than indef, and indeffing IP addresses is frowned upon except in extreme cases since they can change. I think in this case it might be justifed - after looking around I've found the template for it, so I think I'll be changing that one year to an indef; this seems to be a fixed, static IP and he waited a year to come right back and start vandalising again, so... - The Bushranger One ping only 21:08, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There's nothing here worth saving. It's not just that he waited a year; it's that he has done only damage for the past several years. He's been blocked for vandalism at least seven times by my count. This user is the reason indefblocks are possible for IP users. <font color="Goldenrod" face="Modern">City <font color="Green" face="Modern">O <font color="Red" face="Modern">f <font color="SlateGrey" face="Modern">Silver 21:13, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed. And he's gone. (Note: I did unclick the 'disable account creation' box, in the event a good-faith editor from this IP wishes to edit. If the vandal makes an account he can be easily spotted and dealt with.) - The Bushranger One ping only 21:14, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
