Dear Matty.007
I am a member in organization committee of Japan MBA Case Competition(JMBACC).

We started our organization activities this year to prepare our second year event, which will take place in 30th Nov 2014.

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's
Godot13 (
submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C,
Casliber (
submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance
Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles
Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and
Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with
Sven Manguard (
submissions) taking
Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to
12george1 (
submissions) and the
2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on
Maya Angelou's autobiographies from
Figureskatingfan (
submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer
Tomáš Rosický from
Cloudz679 (
submissions) and
a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of
Sven Manguard (
submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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.

Having only the green when the tournament is finished is pretty standart. Look at the following years. Red is not needed, as no green color shows they didn'T advance. And in that particular example, having the second place blue is strage, as he progresses to the semis just like the first place finished. Another color would be needed maybe, when second places play straight for third place. - Koppapa ( talk) 16:15, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of currencies in North America, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain. 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.

As you may know, I write for the Signpost, basically Wikipedia's newsletter. I'd like to do a feature on the semifinalists, would you be willing to provide, say, 250 to 500 words saying: (1.) Why did you join the Wikicup? (2.) What you you hope to get out of it? and (3.) Which of your contributions to the Wikicup are your favourites?
Not quite sure how I'll order them - I'll probably make the ed17 decide, as, you know, Conflict of Interest: I am a semifinalist. I'd imagine point order or alphabetical or the like.

Hi Matty. No problem at all with you continuing to use the articles I'm writing at DYK, but do let me know if anything gets challenged as it appears that some reviewers aren't quite sure what they're reviewing. Cheers. The Rambling Man ( talk) 14:23, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
P.S. Thanks for the swift response to my request at WT:DYK. I usually don't make such requests, but it was surprising to find that the independence day anniversary was coming up so soon. Cheers! — Bloom6132 ( talk) 16:32, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. — Bloom6132 ( talk) 15:36, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Having only the green when the tournament is finished is pretty standart. Look at the following years. Red is not needed, as no green color shows they didn'T advance. And in that particular example, having the second place blue is strage, as he progresses to the semis just like the first place finished. Another color would be needed maybe, when second places play straight for third place. - Koppapa ( talk) 16:15, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of currencies in North America, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain. 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.

Take a look at this; Mint is a decent Indian newspaper. The Daily Dot isn't a great source, but that article does seem to have some interesting information. May be worth checking the reliable sources noticeboard to see what people think. J Milburn ( talk) 15:14, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
I think 16 separate nominations justifies a table, so I've gone ahead and created one. It may not be perfect (for example, do any of those people have articles? Are the capitals right?) Take a look and let me know what you think. J Milburn ( talk) 18:45, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

The 100 DYK Nomination Medal | |
This is the very best DYK award as it represents 100 nominations of other people's work. This is great for DYK and in my opinion a nomination is much better than creating an article.

Matty, regarding Cmdr. Stuart-Menteth, I have been to the National Archives and photographed the contents of file ADM 358/47 as promised a while ago. There was a lot of material, so I have quite a lot of image files (over 100, I think); let me know how you would like me to get them to you.

I'm pushing for the creation of an African football task force at WikiProject Football given the recent spike in articles regarding African football competitions and their seasons. Would be great if you went there and signed up given the work you've done on such articles. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 17:57, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
As you may know, I write for the Signpost, basically Wikipedia's newsletter. I'd like to do a feature on the semifinalists, would you be willing to provide, say, 250 to 500 words saying: (1.) Why did you join the Wikicup? (2.) What you you hope to get out of it? and (3.) Which of your contributions to the Wikicup are your favourites?
Not quite sure how I'll order them - I'll probably make the ed17 decide, as, you know, Conflict of Interest: I am a semifinalist. I'd imagine point order or alphabetical or the like.
Can you please reply at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-07-30/Wikicup#Matty.007? Thanks! Adam Cuerden ( talk) 00:29, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
