And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

*{{flagicon|USA}} ], a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
*] {{u|Adam Cuerden}}, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
*{{flagicon|Denmark}} ], a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
*{{flagicon|USA}} ] came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
*] ] was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the ] to featured article status.
*{{flagicon|Ohio}} ] was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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. 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 ].

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on ], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from ].</small> ] (]), ] (]), ] (]) and ] (]).

If you agree that simply having a list of a few stores isn't 'puffery', then I'm glad we both have a mutual understanding. I'd imagine you would consult with me if you have any issues. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 5 June 2023 (UTC)</small>

Hello, and welcome to the December newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since September. If you no longer want this newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. If you'd like to be notified of upcoming drives and blitzes, and other GOCE activities, the best method is to add our ] to your watchlist.
I came across the article as I was preparing a beach weekend, and noted that the article was rated only "Start Class," and doesn't yet register on the importance scale. As a United Methodist clergyman and 15-year veteran copy editor at three different Pulitzer Prize-winning newspapers, I think I can help explain how the story suffers.


'''Election news:''' The Guild's coordinators play an important role in the WikiProject, making sure <s>nearly</s> everything runs smoothly and on time. Editors in good standing (unblocked and without sanctions) are invited to ] (with their permission, of course) until 23:59 on 15 December (UTC). The voting phase begins at 00:01 on 16 December and runs until 23:59 on 31 December. Questions may be asked of candidates at any stage in the process. Elected coordinators will serve a six-month term from 1 January through 30 June.
The justification for removing the attributed information had nothing to do with its level of attribution. The rewrite I gave it changed no facts, but simply put different ones in the first paragraph more important and interesting facts to draw the reader into the article. In newspaper parlance, you had buried your lede under a flurry of unrelated details that did nothing to build the foundation for the basis of the article. In my opinion, that is 1) What Ocean Grove is today, 2) How it was founded, 3) How the specifics of its founding affected its development, and 4) How the remaining effective specifics of its founding have created a unique community WITHIN a chartered, incorporated township.


'''Drive:''' In our ], 67 editors signed up, 39 completed at least one copy edit, and between them they edited 682,696 words comprising 507 articles. Barnstars awarded are ].
The amount of legalese in your first paragraph, which reflects your depth of knowledge of NJ civics, is NOT INTERESTING unless it makes a larger point. The fact that Ocean Grove "is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place in Neptune Township" all could -- and in my opinion, should -- be in the Geography section.
I left in Monmouth County as a way to identify the general location within NJ, but on reflection I believe I should have written that it is XX miles or a ZZ-minute drive south of New York City.


'''Blitz:''' The ] saw 16 editors sign-up, 15 of whom completed at least one copy edit. They edited 76,776 words comprising 35 articles. Barnstars awarded are ].
As for the word editing, please consider the redundancies of 1)Ocean Grove is on the ocean in New Jersey; that would be "on the Atlantic Ocean"; 2) on the ocean in New Jersey means it is located on "Jersey Shore"; 3) that means the Ocean Grove camp meeting site would be "on the New Jersey seashore"; 4) juxtaposing "Ocean Grove" with "Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association" is one too many references to Ocean Grove within eight words.


'''Drive:''' In our ], 432,320 words in 151 articles were copy edited. Of the 54 users who signed up, 33 copy edited at least one article. Barnstars awarded are posted ].
Factually, please consider that Ellwood Stokes' historical sketch on the Camp Meeting Association web site says:


'''Blitz:''' The December Blitz will begin at 00:00 on 15 December (UTC) and will end on 21 December at 23:59. ]. Barnstars awarded will be posted ].
1) The state legislature granted charter at the request of the newly formed ruling body of 13 clergy and 13 lay persons "under the following title: The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church." My understanding is that the "title" consisted of chartered ownership, NOT the name of the land owned. If so, then Ocean Grove would not have been founded as the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association,"
2) Since the Camp Meeting Association was half clergy and half laity, the community could not be said to be founded by "a group of Methodist clergymen,"
3) That Stokes organized the first re-creational outing in summer 1869 along with eight to 10 families; Osborn was a promoter of the camp-meeting movement sweeping the country in the mid- to late-19th century, and encouraged and worked with Stokes to turn the site of their outing into a camp meeting. Therefore, Osborn would not merit equal mention with - let alone top billing over - Stokes. Remember that it is Stokes whose statue graces the grounds, and not Osborn.
4) The state charter granted only six acres; subsequent additions were purchased (see below). But NO mention is made of the "square mile" so often referred to as Ocean Grove, but most certainly not granted by the charter as currently stated in article.
5) No reference to anything more than the 230 acres purchased by 1872 (a square mile is 640 acres). Information contained in the Geography section of the article mentions the community as only 0.4 square miles. The community still has the same northern and southern boundaries as those mentioned by Stokes (Wesley Lake and Fletcher Lake), so if the owned land has been cut to less than half of the claimed square mile it must have been chopped off the west by road development or eroded from the beach on the east. Was there ever one square mile? Or was that hyperbole?


'''Progress report:''' As of 22:12, 7 December 2024 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have completed 333 requests since 1 January, and the backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,401 articles.
So, a briefer and simpler description of what Ocean Grove is today and how it was founded could thus be established much more strongly and with much greater substance in the first two paragraphs.


Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, {{noping|Dhtwiki|Miniapolis|Mox Eden|Wracking}}.
As for how the camp meeting roots and control of the land affected development and created unique attributes of Ocean Grove, please consider:
{{center
1a) Stokes provides astonishing statistics for the growth of the community, none of which is included in the current article but should be. In two years it grew from six acres to 230, upon which 1,500 lots had been surveyed -- and "two-thirds of which are now sold." In two years, 1,000 lots were sold! and of those lots, over 300 already had on them cottages, "some of them very beautiful, varying in cost from one hundred fifty to over three thousand dollars...." (Need to translate those figures into 2007 dollars) That dovetails nicely with the subsequent decline into "Ocean Grave."
| <small>To stop receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from ].</small>
1b) What caused that decline? Hard question to answer with attributable information, but CRUCIAL. Again, the Camp Meeting -- this time with blue laws -- seems to be the key. And when talking about a real estate arc of some 140 years, statistics about the real estate market last year have NO MEANING.
}}
2) The land of Ocean Grove being owned by the Camp Meeting Association was critically important and relevant to the reason Ocean Grove is listed on the National Register. How is it that Ocean Grove is noted for its abundant Victorian homes (I think "abundance of Victorian homes" is what you mean to say)? Where they came from seems to be linked to the meteoric growth of the community caused by the camp meeting. But the blue laws, perhaps inadvertently, had a profound effect on preventing widespread demolition of the prevailing architectural style. Again the history shaped the current form of Ocean Grove.
|}
3) The ongoing incorporation struggles of Ocean Grove and how it can maintain its identity as a community (or "census-designated place") despite being part of another township are rooted in ownership of land by the camp meeting assoociation.
</div>
4) The extremes of Ocean Grove's blue laws are extraordinary! Banning commerce on Sundays is the usual application; closing the beach all day (or even the current half-day) on Sunday is unusual. Outlawing vehicular traffic on Sunday is very unusual. And forcing residents and visitors to REMOVE THEIR VEHICLES (buggies and wagons, then cars) from the town before sunset Saturday is unheard of!!!!!!!! This is interesting history, and foundation for the current restrictions of using the beach on Sunday morning as well as a shore resort being "dry." Both continue to shape the ethos of the community.
Message sent by ] using ] (]) 22:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC).
5a) A knowledge of Methodist history and bible is helpful in sorting out the names of streets and landmarks. For instance, "Pilgrim Pathway" is NOT a biblical name but a reference to the believers who journeyed to Ocean Grove to restore their souls; Mt. Tabor Way IS a biblical name, as is Beersheba (as mentioned) and Mt. Carmel (as NOT mentioned). Meanwhile, Wesley Lake is named for the founder of the Methodist movement in England; Fletcher Lake is named for his fellow Anglican priest John Fletcher, who evolved as Wesley's right-hand man and probable successor except that Wesley outlived Fletcher. Asbury Avenue is named for Francis Asbury, the only British preacher sent by Wesley who remained here during the American Revolution and who became the defining figure of American Methodism. Whitefield was, with John and brother Charles Wesley, a founding member of the Holy Club at Oxford that John later called "the first rise of Methodism." Webb is named for Thomas Webb, a retired British army captain and prodigious lay preacher based in New York who made a richly successful evangelistic journey south to Philadelphia and into Delaware and throughout New Jersey. Same with the meeting site itself. There is no "Bishop-Janes Tabernacle." However, there is a tabernacle named for Bishop Edmund S. Janes, who was consecrated in 1844 and was instrumental in founding congregations of slaves freed during the Civil War.

5b)And why is neighboring Asbury Park, featuring its own Asbury Avenue, also filled with Methodist names (Bishop Calvin Kingsley; historian Nathan Bangs; Bishop John Emory, founder/namesake of Emory University)? Because Mr. Bradley (first name unknown to me) who developed Bradley Beach to the south and Asbury Park to the north, was a devout Methodist!


== Questions about URLs ==


Today I learned about better ways of linking external links with the url template and went to go check the Englewood Cliffs NJ page and noticed your change to use the url template. I feel like an idiot that I wasn't editing with this format and instead using instead.
Finally, the Civil Union civil lawsuit does not belong in an article about Ocean Grove. At the very least, it should be split into a parallel entry on the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association. More specifically, it belongs in a story about the white-hot controversies in denominations - including The United Methodist Church - on rights and responsibilities of gay and lesbian persons. I personally have the utmost sympathy for the plantiffs, but their story is not germane to the story of Ocean Grove. It is part of something much, much bigger, as suggested by WikiProject LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgendered) studies at the LGBT Portal.


Can you tell me a little about why its better to use the url template and if there is any downsides to using it.

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • United States L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
  • Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
  • Denmark MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
  • United States Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
  • Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
  • Ohio Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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. 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 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!

WikiCup 2022 September newsletter

In response to your opinion on Freehold Raceway Mall "puffery"

Hi Alansohn. In case you did not receive my response on my Talk page, I'll just reinsert the message here on your talk page. If you agree that listing a few stores on a mall article would not classify as 'puffery', then why exactly did do you remove the list of stores then? If you agree that simply having a list of a few stores isn't 'puffery', then I'm glad we both have a mutual understanding. I'd imagine you would consult with me if you have any issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeholdman12 (talk • contribs) 5 June 2023 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  • Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  • Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

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 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Misplaced Pages and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Questions about URLs

Today I learned about better ways of linking external links with the url template and went to go check the Englewood Cliffs NJ page and noticed your change to use the url template. I feel like an idiot that I wasn't editing with this format and instead using example.com instead.

Can you tell me a little about why its better to use the url template and if there is any downsides to using it.

Thank you so much for the help. 68.173.170.185 (talk) 23:44, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
