WikiCup 2012 June newsletter
Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working. We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's, who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's, whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's, with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.

Your GA nomination of Can't Stop Won't Stop (song)
The article Can't Stop Won't Stop (song) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Can't Stop Won't Stop (song) for things which need to be addressed. Jona yo!

Rihanna singles template
Hello there Tomica. Please could you consult the relevant discussion at Template talk:Rihanna singles? Thanks. SplashScreen (talk) 23:49, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Re
Yeah exactly, you've called it background, I've called it production and recording, which it actually is. Not many people commented on it's composition, not my fault. I see your Do Ya Thang composition and I raise you Fool in Love. Prime example of how reviewers picked up on two songs, but not the other. Don't forget, it was a deluxe track, not many commented on those compared to the standard songs. I'm not looking for an arguement here Tomica, I'm just saying it as it is. No need to go all "mine is better" stuff. Aaron  &bull; You Da  One 00:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "Do Ya Thang" is also a deluxe edition track and I still managed to make that kind of composition and slight recording. Nevermind I never compare my work to other. But I don't get the reason of removing the background and calling it a fancruft. Really. — Tomica   (talk)  00:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Fool in Love has more than Do Ya Thang, but I'm not saying what I wrote is better am I? And you did say that. Because it is fancruft, her departure from the record label has nothing to do with the actual song. Doesn't matter, people don't see what they don't want to see. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 00:39, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Same here tbh. And first of all did I mentioned "Fool in Love" in the AfD? I guess I didn't as I am aware of it. The case was about "Red Lipstick" which indeed is a deluxe track, but so it's "Do Ya Thang". I never said that my articles are better written than yours, but just added evidence that I pulled out bigger composition.— Tomica   (talk)  00:44, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

"It should not be assumed that the reader is familiar with the artist's history and/or previously released albums. If it's necessary to put these items into context for the reader to further his understanding of later content in the article, a background section is suggested. This section should discuss previous occasions in the artist's history and important events that had an impact on the album." The album was pushed back many times because of leaks and flop singles. She then left her label and went to another and recorded new material.  Statυs (talk) 00:44, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That's for the album article then. Not the song. Far too much information in the paragraph, could be cut by half easily. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 00:46, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * And that's how you work and your opinion, not mine. How did you happen to come across the article anyway?  Statυs (talk) 00:47, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * No that's called padding out with useless information Status. Lol. Several Mariah articles have the same problem. And why does it matter how I come across the article? What, are you condoning me for browsing articles now? Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 00:50, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm just curious, since I've never seen you express interest in any J.Lo articles before.  Statυs (talk) 00:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't really call it an "interest" per se. She's not really something to write home about. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 00:54, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * What is that supposed to mean?  Statυs (talk) 00:56, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess that he hates J-Lo. Lol. — Tomica   (talk)  00:57, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If I thought she was the "icon" people call her, I'd be more interested. She's done a few good songs and has good voice, but she rarely utilises it. She's just not someone I pay a lot of attention to. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 01:00, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, if it is the way you are saying, how did you reach to "Run the World"? (non-notable song to carry its own article according to you) — Tomica   (talk)  01:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Because I was browsing through difference articles. Why am I being put in a corner for this? Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 01:09, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Sort of odd how you'd come across it right after it was nominated for deletion.  Statυs (talk) 01:10, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not really. I came across the article, which has a banner slapped on the top of it. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 01:14, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

And whilst we're on that subject, how did Status and/or Tomica randomly end up !voting on all of these (and other) AfDs that I started? SplashScreen (talk) 01:12, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Tomica didn't comment on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.  Statυs (talk) 01:16, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed. — Tomica   (talk)  01:17, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Note the use of the "and/or". As Status would say - "weird". SplashScreen (talk) 01:18, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Weird how most of those are also articles I created, Splash.  Statυs (talk) 01:20, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps if you didn't create such vacuous articles as Personal life of Jennifer Lopez and Bennifer, you wouldn't find yourself in this predicament. SplashScreen (talk) 01:21, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Who am I to fight with a Wikipedia agreement? Users agreed they were to be deleted. What is your point? At least I actually make edits to Wikipedia, instead of nominating everybody's work for deletion.  Statυs (talk) 01:23, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright, that's enough. Stop it, all of you, before one of you crosses the line from veiled accusations/snarking to clearcut insults and then this ends up at ANI or something. This is really petty, you guys. Just focus on the article work, live with the fact that people will disagree with you (because that's life) and move on. You're all productive editors who want to improve the encyclopedia, right? Well, go do that. OohBunnies!   (talk)  01:28, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
