WikiCup 2013 January newsletter
Signups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a detailed good article review. Some other firsts:
 * was also the first to score for an article, with the good article Hurricane Gordon (2000). Again, this is a repeat of last year!
 * was the first to score for a did you know, with Marquis Flowers.
 * was the first to score for an in the news, with 2013 Houphouët-Boigny stampede.
 * was the first to score for a featured list, with list of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists.
 * was the first to score for a featured picture, with File:Thure de Thulstrup - L. Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg.

Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.

This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:


 * was the first to score bonus points, with Portland-class cruiser, a good article.
 * has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on Enrico Fermi, now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score.
 * claimed bonus points for René Vautier and Nicolas de Fer, articles that did not exist on the English Wikipedia at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of other Wikipedias.

Also, a quick mention of, who may well have already written the oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Disambiguation link notification for February 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lucky Strike (song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Love Somebody (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Love Somebody
I do apologise. I've been very busy, and, while I have been editing a little, haven't had one block of straight time to do the rereview. I should get it done tonight, though. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:35, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm 99% inclined to pass it now. If you'll answer the last question I have, and presuming the answer is what it probably is, I'm going to pass it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:15, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Love Somebody (Maroon 5 song)
This should now be fully promoted as a GA, except I just realised I forgot to do the assessment tags on the article. And remove it from the nominations.

...Crap. Well, I'll do that. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:56, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Lol Thanks. But I think that you shouldn't worry about that, because the GAbot will do it ;) ! — Tomíca (T2ME) 23:57, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, you younguns and your bots for everything. Back when I joined Wikipedia [rambling monologue deleted] uphill, both ways. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Lol. Well tbh, we are kind of lazy yeah, so the bots are here for us now :P — Tomíca (T2ME) 00:06, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

If you like, now that I have the feel of these song articles, I'm happy to review some more from the Wikicup list, or I can leave them be. Your call. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:15, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah of course If you want you can review some others too. I don't mind at all :) — Tomíca (T2ME) 00:16, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Well, guess I do but you don't obviously "release" (what "am be" that word in Macedonia?) that once you remove a content of a template, you should promptly also remove the relevant template from all articles associated with it. Tweny13 (talk) 10:44, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I am not required to do that. I just can modify the template. I removed it from "Unfaithful" though, because I maintain the article. — Tomíca (T2ME) 10:46, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments
Can you just stop with all the little remarks you constantly post when giving edit summaries? There is no need for it at all. You only need to say what you have changed, not silly little patronising comments. Thanks. Iluvrihanna24 (talk) 10:18, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Those are comments that for instance you can use and not just add fucked up stuff into the articles. At that point it wouldn't need fixing from me or other user.— Tomíca (T2ME) 10:20, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Numb (Usher song)
The article Numb (Usher song) that you put up for good article nomination has been put on hold. There are some prose and citation issues that are keeping the article from reaching good article status. You will have the general seven days to address these issues, otherwise the article will fail. See this for more information on what needs to be fixed. — AARON  &bull; TALK   16:57, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Scream and Shout
What was the reasoning for undoing my revision? The cover I uploaded is the official one.
 * It's the official one for digital download. The article is using the one for physical release as seen on Amazon.com. It was largely discussed on the talk page of the article. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:16, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Favour
Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to comment and/or cast a vote in support or opposition on my FAC Featured list candidates/List of songs recorded by Cheryl Cole/archive1, as only a couple of reviewers have posted comments and it has stalled in the last couple of weeks.
