За јазиците
Благодарам што го среди ова со јазиците, ама текстот во фуснотите не може да се прочита, ќе можеш ли и тоа да го средиш?, треба да биде како во оваа статија за СФР Југославија, таму има фусноти кај јазиците. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Federal_Republic_of_Yugoslavia#endnote_d Sashko1999 (talk) 20:30, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Ете. Средени се и фуснотите. Уште да видиме како ќе средиме со другите јазици. — Tom (T2ME) 21:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 * WoW! Thank you so much. I just added a photo to accompany the short article, I know we can't add covers because of the copyright, however, we can definitely add this photo. It describes her look during the era. Other than that, the text seems great :). — Tom (T2ME) 09:07, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

FAC needing comments
Hey dude, how have you been doing? Kinda spontaneous but I'd love you to give some input for this FAC. It's been a month since I initiated it and I don't want it to go wasted so :) Feel free and take your time, HĐ (talk) 03:56, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 May newsletter
The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:

Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs, 🇺🇸 Ceranthor, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, and  Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and 🇩🇰 MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on.
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs.
 * Pirate_Flag_of_Henry_Every.svg (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations.
 * Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.

So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

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!

Thank you for Good Girl Gone Bad, "the third studio album by Rihanna, a game changer for her and her music career. During this era, Rihanna changed her style, became more liberating and lost the good girl image, as the title suggests."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:46, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 July newsletter
The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * 🇳🇫 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with 500 points derived mainly from a featured article and two GAs on natural history topics
 * Adam Cuerden, with 480 points, a tally built on 16 featured pictures, the result of meticulous restoration work
 * SounderBruce, a finalist in the last two years, with 306 points from a variety of submissions, mostly related to sport or the State of Washington
 * 🇺🇸 Usernameunique, with 305 points derived from a featured article and two GAs on archaeology and related topics

Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. 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, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

FAC needing comments
Hey Tom, how are you doing? Would you mind leaving some comments at this second FAC for "Style"? I really think it's ready for the bronze star, but it is seriously lacking input...

On another note, I'm freed of college assignments already and am ready to work on Rihanna article, if you're with me ;) HĐ (talk) 14:29, 11 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Hey ! Sure, I am going to leave comments today! Sorry for the last time, I really got busy last minute. And also yas! I am ready for the Rihanna article as well. We can work on it a little bit this weekend (if you are free; we can strategize how we want to do it, like a sandbox or the article itself and what we want to include as well too) :). — Tom (T2ME) 15:19, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Have you got any sandbox at your place yet? The article is kinda large so I'm thinking we could break it down to different sections... Also I'm thinking of removing the whole 'Chris Brown case' subsection or merging it into 'Life and career'. HĐ (talk)
 * Hey ! True, the article is really large and contains a lot of fluff imo that needs to be reworked/removed. As a matter of fact, I do have a sandbox, with several sections reworked; feel free to check it out and add/remove/copy-edit stuff. I agree with you and in the sandbox, the Chris Brown incident is already in Life and career. I am going on a vacation tonight and I am not going to be online. I will be coming back on July 22 and that's when I can start working again. In the meantime feel free to start working on it. :) — Tom (T2ME) 14:31, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

TFL notification
Hi, Tomica. I'm just posting to let you know that List of Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles of 2011 – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for September 20. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:26, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!
