The March 2014 backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all requests placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there! ![]() – Your drive coordinators: Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978 and Miniapolis To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

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:
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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Matty.007, I have just posted a note to this nomination template. Basically, you nominated this as a Good Article DYK before it had been passed as a GA—you're only supposed to nominate within five days after listing, yet the GAN was still ongoing on February 26. Worse, Cas Liber passed it on February 28, before it became a Good Article. (It passed about 10 hours later.) I'm hoping both of you can explain what went wrong on the nomination template. Since the article has only just become eligible, I'm not worried about delaying the promotion by a day or two while we figure this out.
I'd like to ask you to be more careful when you nominate articles by others for DYK. Thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 03:02, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

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:
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.

Matty.007, I have just posted a note to this nomination template. Basically, you nominated this as a Good Article DYK before it had been passed as a GA—you're only supposed to nominate within five days after listing, yet the GAN was still ongoing on February 26. Worse, Cas Liber passed it on February 28, before it became a Good Article. (It passed about 10 hours later.) I'm hoping both of you can explain what went wrong on the nomination template. Since the article has only just become eligible, I'm not worried about delaying the promotion by a day or two while we figure this out.
I'd like to ask you to be more careful when you nominate articles by others for DYK. Thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 03:02, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey Matt! Can I request for you to copyedit some sentences in Global F.C.? I'm planning for it to achieve GA status. Any copyedit would be great! Thanks! FairyTailRocks ( talk) 09:08, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, matty. I'll back off Jade's article for a while to stop overlap. Cheers FruitMonkey ( talk) 11:28, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for taking that question forward, as I had been slapped down for including a minor's age when I was setting up articles for British Para-athletes last summer, some of them between the ages of 14 and 16. I don't think it changes the article too much, but I tend to err on the side of caution. It's good to get a clearer answer. Cheers FruitMonkey ( talk) 19:43, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
