Asking your permission... ;-))
Dear Wilhelmina,

I am in awe of your work here at the Wiki and also a great fan/admirer of your positive spirit and sense of humour.

Therefore, I would like to ask your permission to add the following userbox to my userpage, seeing as it would be a bit one-sided (not to say somewhat presumptuous) to do so without asking you first:

Thank you for your consideration.

With kindest regards;

Few things
Hi Wilhelmina, first off: nice work on the Crambids! Regarding categories, when you start on the species in a new Subfamily, Tribe, etc. could you please check if there already is a category for this subfamiliy or tribe and use it? Saves me the time of having to recat. everything. Second: someone has been busy refining the 'Animals described in ...' cats to 'Moths described in ...'. I think you already do, but could you use these from now on? Thanks! Ow, and I am unable to finish the last batch you made, could you wait with the next until I finish these? Much appreciated..!

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

HOP Ranch
Hi Wilhelmina,

The subject article was recently published this past weekend, and I am trying to get it assigned to the most correct project. I think the one that fits best is American Old West. I'd be grateful if you can make that happen, and I would also be grateful to have the article reviewed for class. I humbly submit that it is beyond start class.

Thanks!

Cerambycid articles
Hi. First off, I sincerely compliment the amount of work you put into getting so many of the names in Larry Bezark's catalog online. I know how much effort is involved in projects like that, as I have over 10,000 WP edits, many of them of a similar nature, and have authored a cerambycid field guide. However, you evidently were not aware that the catalog you were using was only the half used exclusively for New World taxa. A lot of the tribes and genera you pasted into Wikipedia have OTHER members in the Old World, in Larry's OTHER half of the catalog. This has led to some troublesome and incorrect entries, e.g., your article on Dorcaschematini, which stated that the only included genus was Dorcaschema. There are, in fact, 12 genera in the tribe, 11 of them Old World exclusively. I had to rebuild both the tribal page and the Dorcaschema genus page to reflect this. This pattern is repeated for nearly every tribal list you created, some of them omitting dozens of genera (such as Monochamini - compare your list with this). I hate to ask this, but I can't spare the time to fix all of this presently, but at the very least you need to work through all the tribal pages you created to add all the missing Old World genera. There promise to be hundreds, all told. Since there are numerous exclusively Old World tribes, they aren't necessarily in the list of tribes, either, but adding those is a second-tier priority. I have not checked to see if the lists in Wikispecies are complete; if so, this may greatly speed up the process of revision. Peace, Dyanega (talk) 07:29, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Heats
In Swimming, "heats" are the eliminatory section. We have a lot of swimmers to try a time, and only 8 can swim each time (this happens in Athletics too, the track is not big enough to put everybody together). So, we have heat 1,2,3,4... and the 16 best times go to the semifinal or 8 go to the final (longer events like 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m). Junperson (talk) 00:39, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Wilhelmina Will. The Instructions for copy editors on the GOCE/REQ page requests "Please do not accept more than one request at a time."

 * Yes, but you're one of/the most diligent participants the guild's got. :) What I meant was that while I signed on for six of the reviews, there were only three unattended at the time of your post. When they said, &#39;Please be still&#39;... (talk) 01:16, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

A brownie for you!
I am also sorry that there were some sort of a mishap and trouble with your reviews. The problem was that you didn't sign up for the drive under [|#Participants], which caused you to fall of the lists.

Happy editing! (t) Josve05a  (c) 01:06, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Josve05a. :) I was always under the impression that once a user's page for logging submissions has been started, they're added to the participant's list by a machine, but now I'm starting to doubt I assumed right. Thanks again! When they said, &#39;Please be still&#39;... (talk) 01:12, 29 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Actually, once you add your name to the participants list and start the page for logging reviews, a machine (User:Excirial/AFCBuddy) will then start automatically logging your reviews for you. It will also update your drive totals so that the coordinator can give you an award. Face-wink.svg Mz7 (talk) 21:31, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Bmicomp.

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter
The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:


 * , a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
 * 1) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
 * 2) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
 * 3) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
 * 4) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
 * 5) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
 * , the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
 * , the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. ,, , , , and  have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, 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. and 22:09, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

HOP Ranch updated
Wilhelmina,

First I hope your stress will reduce as soon as possible and that you can return to a less stressful mode quickly.

I wanted to thank you for evaluating the HOP Ranch article recently and bringing it into the Old West project area where I think it fits best. I noticed you assigned it a quality level of start class, and I have since made the following improvements to the article.

1. Outlined the prose of the article and added an entirely new section "Dangers" to provide a backdrop of life on the Colorado prairie at the time. The new outline has created a helpful, albeit small, TOC for the article. (This is a low stress article :-) )

2. Reviewed and modified every reference to better adhere to MOS Citation Templates and provided links to all online sources (definitely not infringing on copyrights) so it easier to check reference material.

I do have the article in peer review and am awaiting comments. So I'm wondering. Do you have suggestions that will help move this out of Start Class?

Thanks in advance! Dnforney (talk) 07:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Wilhelmina, and nice to see you are back. Regarding the creation of Glaphyriinae species pages: it seems this subfamily has been subject of a lot of research, and thus much info is available.

Scientifically named moth articles
You have added a number of new pages for moth species name using their scientific names like Leptosteges decetialis. One,articles should use their common name not official names. Secondly, an article must meet notability rules to receive an article which means significant coverage in major general news outlets. Finally, there is [Wikispecies] project for all this information about individual species. So most of these article will have to be deleted. Spshu (talk) 23:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * No, they do not. If the species does not have a common name, then the only name it can go by is its taxonomic name. Furthermore, a colleague of mine takes care of the expansion of the articles. I wish you'd leave them alone. If I had to guess... (talk) 23:06, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * And on top of that, taxonomy are automatically considered notable. By your logic, a very large chunk of Wikipedia would have to be wiped out. If I had to guess... (talk) 23:07, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Wilhelmina, I found a paper about the genus Donacaula. Since this contains a lot of info, which takes some time to add to the articles, could you wait with the next batch of moth articles until I finished these? Thanks! Ruigeroeland (talk) 14:59, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.


 * We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
 * In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
 * The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
