WikiCup 2014 February newsletter

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:

  1. Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Misplaced Pages. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
  2. Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
  3. United States WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

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 Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

NCDC

Hi USM, I noticed earlier that the NCDC storm events database has been updated to include December 2013. As a result i was wondering if you could go through it and see if the 2013/2014 cold waves were seperate events or not. I would do it but im not sure what im looking for :) Regards.Jason Rees (talk) 03:25, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

Re:Tables

The tables have to be in a single table and include the dates per the MOS of tables. It has to be in one table for text readers for visually impaired persons. Splitting it into separate tables screws up the bot. Would have been nice to drop me a message to inform me that there were going to be further changes to the table though. I highly disagree with adding another column as damage is easy to just put in the summary. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:43, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

"Unconstructive"? Not true

Myself and others have been listing the next week's race on the 2014 Nascar Sprint page for several months now, and there has never been any objection to it. It's not "unconstructive" -- if it was unconstructive, someone would have objected to it months ago. And besides, even if I myself don't list the next race, someone else will just come along and do it anyway. Are you going to unneededly revert them as well? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 20:36, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

P.S. -- Not only did you delete the next race, but you also deleted the race from two days ago. I and others don't understand this. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 20:40, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

You say it looks tacky. First of all, I'm not the one who makes the race report, others do the report and they have done so for months. Second, it's been standard to list the next race -- if it was a problem, someone would have complained a long time ago, they wouldn't suddenly start complaining about it now all of a sudden out of nowhere. And third, you're the only one saying it looks "tacky", which just means that's your own personal opinion, not a statement of fact. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 20:52, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

For MONTHS now, not just a few weeks as you're trying to claim, the NEXT race had been listed on there by others and myself, and there was NEVER any objection to it. But hey, fine, I won't put it on there anymore, because I know there are more important things in life than having a petty argument with hard-headed people over the internet. But just keep something in mind -- when SOMEONE ELSE lists the next race on there and rightfully so (just as I have done), and then you revert them the same as you did with me, you will then have to go through all this again with them, trying to explain away your reasoning for reverting their perfectly good and constructive edit.

Disambiguation link notification for May 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of United States tornadoes from April to May 2014, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crawford, Alabama (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.

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's United States ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Washington, D.C. Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Canada Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from Minas Gerais Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Nepal Czar (submissions) and Indiana Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. 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 Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!
