WikiCup 2012 July newsletter
We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees  in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's  follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.

Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Democratic Party of Hong Kong Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Democratic Party of Hong Kong Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:00, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Nick Brandt's page, question.
Hi Wilhelmina Will, Can you help with a few images that I would like to replace but not sure how to change them to the right sizes? My email is unconscious.intelligence@gmail.com. Please send me an email and I will show you the images. Thank you! Thisandthem (talk) 11:24, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd love to help, Thisandthem, but is it necessary to communicate by email? The images you intend to replace are the ones in the article, right? Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!! (talk) 08:46, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes they are the ones in the article. They are Tiff files now and I'm not that savy on uploading. They are lightened so not to look so dark in the article. I keep getting an error that it's a different file from the jpeg. I suggested email so I could let you take a look at the files, but maybe that's not necessary. Let me know what you think?Thisandthem (talk) 09:34, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's because it's a different file extension. You cannot replace an existing Example.jpeg with Example.tiff, but you can convert the file to jpeg on your computer, then upload; or upload to tiff then request deletion of the jpeg. benzband  ( talk ) 10:11, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Will it change the contrast of the image? I think if I keep it in tiff it will preserve the lightness or darkness. Not sure though.Thisandthem (talk) 10:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

RfA
I've seen you operate and am considering looking through your contributions to see if you are ready to be nominated for RfA (again). Before I do that, would you actually be interested in running? Ryan Vesey 16:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Ryan Vesey, but as much as I would like to be an admin someday, I'm still not sure I'm fit for the position. There are many responsibilities which come with handling the mop, and with the responsibilities I face offline and on sites other than Wikipedia, I'm finding it increasingly challenging to make time to contribute like I once did. I'd like to wait until I have things more organized, and can balance editing with everything else. I'm very glad you think of me as sysop material though - this is the second time someone's told me this, this year! :) Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!!

Acrolophus
Hello Wilhelmina, I noticed you are starting work on the Acrolophus genus. May I suggest you first make the species listed at nearctica.com? If you would be willing to also add the synonyms, that would be great. If you use the list we have on wikipedia, you will be making a lot of articles about synonyms and that would be a waste of time. Please note that the link only lists North American species. I will see if I can find a list of Neotropical species too. Cheers and keep it up! Ruigeroeland (talk) 10:33, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 August newsletter
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
 * 1) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
 * 2) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
 * 3) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
 * 4) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
 * 5) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
 * 6) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
 * 7) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
 * 8) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle:, , , , , , and. We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, 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!

New chemistry articles
Thanks for your ongoing creation of chemistry articles based on the listing at List of extremely hazardous substances. I've noticed that this list has some errors based on incorrect transcription of chemical names from the article's reference. Consequently, some of the articles you've created may be erroneous. I have proposed Phosphonothioic acid, methyl- for deletion and tomorrow I'll take a closer look at some of the other articles and also see if I can fix List of extremely hazardous substances. Again, thanks for creating the articles. Cheers, -- Ed (Edgar181) 23:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter


We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. currently leads, followed by, and. However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, 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!

Sorry to, ahem, bug you...
Hi Wilhelmina Will. (And technically beetle, not bug.) According to ITIS, Lagocheirus obsoletus is a junior synonym of Lagocheirus undatus (Voet, 1788).--Shirt58 (talk) 04:04, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I saw your edit summary. Yes, I have that kind of problem too. I always bookmark my subsection to avoid it. And yeah, I probably would like your singing, if I could hear it. Could you sing a bit louder, please? --Stfg (talk) 21:11, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!
I've seen you wishing Happy Halloween to people and I thought I'd wish you one as well. Since I didn't plan ahead I don't have any caramel or candy apples so I stopped at the grocery store and got you a Twix. Ryan Vesey 23:12, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 October newsletter
The 2012 WikiCup has come to a close; congratulations to, our 2012 champion! Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: (2007),  (2008),  (2009),  (2010) and  (2011). Our final standings were as follows:



Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.


 * The featured article award goes to, for four featured articles in the final round.
 * The good article award also goes to, for 19 good articles in the second round.
 * The list award goes to, for three featured lists in the final round.
 * The topic award goes to, for three good topics (with around 40 articles) in round 4.
 * The did you know award goes to, for well over 100 DYKs in the final round.
 * The news award goes to, for 10 in the news items in round 3.
 * The picture award goes to, for two featured pictures in round 2.
 * The reviewer award goes to both (14 reviews in round 1) and  (14 reviews in round 3).
 * Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article frog to featured status, a biostar has been awarded to.

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January! J Milburn (talk • email) and The ed17 (talk • email) 00:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Melvins Isis split.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Melvins Isis split.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:11, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Anthela
Hello Wilhelmina. I dont know which source you used for the list of Anthela species, but please dont use it again, because it is absolute crap.. Over 50% were synonyms, moved to another genus, dubious names, etc. It is better to use LepIndex as a primary source if you cannot find an up-to-date list of species. Please NEVER use ZipcodeZoo or Global Names Index, these sites are based on LepIndex, but list all names found on that site as valid, while obviously a great deal are not. In other words: these sites provide misinformation and we should not copy this onto wikipedia. It took me ages to clean up this mess, so please please please use another source! Ruigeroeland (talk) 15:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that! I was using Global Species, but I'll switch to LepIndex. Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!! (talk) 01:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
