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!

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter
Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
 * , primarily for an array of warship GAs.
 * , primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
 * , due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with, this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:
 * , whose Portal:Massachusetts is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores.
 * , whose Mycena aurantiomarginata was the first featured article this year.
 * and, who both claimed points for articles in the Major League Baseball tie-breakers topic, the first topic points in the competition.
 * , who claimed for the first full good topic with the Casting Crowns studio albums topic.

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by : did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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!

WikiCup 2013 March newsletter
We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate  (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.

Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr, on the European hare , on the constellation Circinus ( and ) and on the Third Epistle of John. All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.

Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.

A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious.

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter
We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and  claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place and second place  both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.

The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.

A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. 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!

Release Version Nominations
Hi - thanks for your message. I hope to start reviewing these in the next few months.. The reason they've lain dormant for a while is that we didn't have the people we needed to work on a new release, and if there's no new release there's no incentive to review! However, we now have two new key people helping in the project, and we're currently trying to get a server to host the vandalism checking (it needs to be a VERY BIG server) - we're aiming to release Version 0.9 during this year. If we get the server going and someone to watch it, we'll be able to start producing regular collections, and maybe even produce Version 1.0, finally!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1985 Pichilemu earthquake, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Osorno and Cordoba Province (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.

El Mercurio
Hello. I have noticed that you are from Chile, and I would like a small clarification. There is an article on a newspaper El Mercurio de Valparaíso and El Mercurio, based in Valparaíso. Both ones seem to have been created in 1827, and none of them mention the other. Are they 2 different newspapers (perhaps with some detail wrong, confused with the other), or is it the same one, and someone created a second article by mistake?

Speedy deletion nomination of Pedro Pablo Caro


A tag has been placed on Pedro Pablo Caro requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. -  Vivvt  ( Talk ) 01:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. Thanks!

There are sixty-three schools in Cardenal Caro, one of the three provinces of Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins Region in Chile. The province contains several primary schools and eight secondary schools. All schools in Cardenal Caro are municipal (owned by the government of their respective communes) except the Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu (pictured) and the Colegio Charly's School, which are semi-private (subsidized by the state). Forty-seven schools are located in rural areas, while the remaining sixteen are located in urban areas. All of them are coeducational. In 2010, there were seventy-eight schools in Cardenal Caro, with 7,400 students in total. As of 2012, the number of students in the province decreased to 6,681. The Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre in Pichilemu has the most students, with 558, and is followed by the Liceo Agustín Ross Edwards, also in Pichilemu, with 504, and the Escuela Cardenal Raúl Silva Henríquez in Litueche, with 489.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

 * Hi, LT910001. My two cents.  This article is about nothing more than a student center in an obscure town, one of millions in every small town in every country all round the world.  It is certainly not notable (not Harvard University, for example). Do we want every student center in small towns, for example Leiva, Colombia, to start a Wikipedia article and post pictures of its students in an encyclopedia? I already removed self-promoting pictures and unsourced content by this editor, Küñall, and nominated it for afd. Worldedixor (talk) 08:16, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

For your information
There is no such thing as a "3RR exemption: reverting unjustified removal of sourced content". You might do as well to self-revert. Not least because I am beginning to wonder whether the naming and identifying by photographs of non-notable minors in the article is a violation of WP:BLP policy. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:40, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I value your input, AndyTheGrump, and as per WP:BLP, non-notability, and absence of "authorization to publish" pictures and names of minors, I removed the names and pictures on these non-notable minors or otherwise. Please feel free to re-insert them if you opine differently and should remain in Wikipedia. Worldedixor (talk) 03:50, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

WP:AFD
Our articles for deletion page is not meant to be a place to get attention; in your words, the "point of this nomination was to draw attention of users interested in the topic (and others) that could help improve the article in question." Since we are all volunteers, and AfD is not the place to debate how to improve articles, and there is a sizeable backlog at WP:AFD, your nomination was in fact quite disruptive to our process. If you want to improve an article, please list it at the talk page of the appropriate project, such as Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons. Bearian (talk) 18:36, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu Students' Center
The article Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu Students' Center you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu Students' Center for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of LT910001 -- 01:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Roxana Miranda
Diego, first of all: the image that you insist to put in the article is of poor quality because it looks that it has been cropped and/or zoomed. That's not a professional image per se. Second: the image in the infobox is intended to be an image of the face of the person, more than a full or half-body shoot. In this case, i'm still prefering the first image over the photo that you uploaded. Third: you said about File:Roxana Miranda, foto promocional.jpg that "is official; focus on content". Please tell me in what cases an official photo (independent of their nature) is more suitable over an image that simply shows her face. And please clarify me what is "focus on content": political content, artistic content, social content, what? Anyway, the poor quality of the photo is the first thing i'm considering to remove it from the article, even more when there are lots of images (that you've uploaded to Commons) that are more suitable for the infobox. --Sfs90 (talk) 04:01, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * (respondo en español porque escribí en un principio en ese idioma) No conozco una guideline que diga que la imagen tenga que ser de tal o tal forma. Es cosa de basarse en otros artículos, como por ejemplo, el de Bill Gates, o el de Michelle Bachelet, para darse cuenta de que no necesariamente tiene que enfocar la cara solamente. La imagen que propones de Miranda no ayuda mucho a la comadre, sinceramente (y no es que necesariamente tenga que "ayudarla", sino que es, simplemente, una mala l foto). La imagen que he agregado es una versión recortada de esta otra. No veo otra imagen de igual o mejor calidad que esa para ser utilizada en el artículo, aunque esta ha sido utilizada en prensa; la recortaré, y añadiré al artículo. Cuando me refiero a "focus on content", me refiero a que el artículo requiere más contenido, que estar discutiendo por cosas mínimas, como la imagen del infobox. Saludos.

 * My response is in English because this is the English Wikipedia, not the Spanish one The latest image that you added to the article looks more reasonable. I'll keep that one, and the "focus on content" is given by anyone of the users who contribute here. If you think that a discussion of an image in an article is a "minimal thing", you must reconsider what Wikipedia is: not only the text, it's everything, including the design of any article. Any discussion that contributes to build better articles must be welcomed. And another thing: please do your responses in my talk page; i'm too busy with other things, and i haven't all the time to read your discussion or any other who put their responses in their own talk pages. --Sfs90 (talk) 21:57, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I prefer to keep discussions in a single place (even though my first post was on your talk page, this is common here on en.wiki). I meant that images, in general, ain't no controversial thing for an article. Regards, Küñall (talk) 22:03, 10 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I think the discussion about the image is over. Nevertheless, an image is an important thing of an article, and the quality of that generally is a topic of discussion. And finally, I suggest you to take a look at WP:SPEAKENGLISH. --Sfs90 (talk) 13:39, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest, self-promotion, and abuse of Wikipedia for personal gratification.
Ok, here's the deal. Revert your recent edits to Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu, delete the ridiculous categories you have created,  and stop using Wikipedia as a means to promote your entirely-non-notable self, or I will report you for abuse of Wikipedia for personal gratification. And no, there is probably no such policy, but I can think of half-a-dozen good reasons why your repeated attempts to promote yourself on Wikipedia is liable to be seen as detrimental to the project - the only real question in my mind is whether this is likely to result in a topic ban, or an indefinite block. I will give you 48 hours to respond, and then take this up at the appropriate place. AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:43, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi there Andy. I'm not reverting the edits, I'd rather prefer discuss it on the article's talk page. My desire is not to promote myself, in fact, I have not done it with that purpose, I am not even trying to create an article on myself, that'd be sure ridiculous. It's just that students' centers' presidents are somewhat relevant to the article, I thought a list of former presidents (all of them are over 18 now) would be in order to make the article more complete. And in fact, there's nothing else I think it misses. Regarding the categories, they are absolutely not ridiculous, as other schools who have a series of articles do categorize their content that way. Discussion is the way, Andy, if you wish, you could check I have worked on some other good content. As I said, I am not doing it in a way to self-promote myself, and if I have made it look like that, I'm sorry, but I mantain my position that former presidents and the little collage are relevant to the article. Kind regards, Küñall (talk) 02:29, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * There is nothing remotely notable about a 'president' who represents 500 or so school students - it was already made abundantly clear at the recent AfD discussion that the 'student center' didn't in any way whatsoever meet our notability guidelines. As for your claim not to be promoting yourself, the misleading image caption you added with your photo ("former Preciosa Sangre authorities") suggests otherwise. Either remove your self-promotion, or expect to be held accountable for it. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:47, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Andy, the students' center may not be worthy of its own article, granted. But it's definitely worth noting in the school's article; the school is the largest in the province, so even though it has 500 and something students, it's noteworthy. I will be changing the photograph to portray only one of these former or current authorities, I don't intend to promote myself, in fact, I have not had contact with anyone of the school for more than a year. My intention, as I said, is not to selfpromote nor anything, and I apologize for any inconvenience, it has not been my purpose. Regards, Küñall (talk) 18:29, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Your actions demonstrate the contrary. If you weren't trying to promote yourself, you wouldn't keep inserting your name into articles. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:59, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The names are significant to the article... if they weren't I would not have added them at first. Küñall (talk) 20:02, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Utter nonsense. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:04, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Stop this nonsense. You have great systemic bias. I'll let it go. I'm not restoring the content, after all, it doesn't make a great difference. But: students' centers are notable in Chile and for their schools. If they aren't where you reside, it's not my problem. Regards, and I'm not responding any further this topic. Küñall (talk) 20:21, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * If I see you insert your name once more into any Wikipedia article, I will report the matter at WP:ANI, and ask that you be topic-banned and/or blocked. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:23, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
