Hi, Ed! Hope that I am not look over the situation regarding this article (see [ discussion page], as well as [ DYN nom] for this article.

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata ( submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata ( submissions), Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions) and TonyTheTiger ( submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber ( submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn ( submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 ( submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

Sorry to bother, but Midshipman needs a media review prior to promotion; I was wondering if you could help out here? Most of the images were already checked in the previous review, so it should be pretty easy (I hope!). Kirk ( talk) 12:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for the constant pings, but do you have any GA/FA noms up? Or any planned ones? I can't sleep and I need work. Thus, I am antsy.
I can't find your todo list (if I could, this would not be here). Perhaps it has been eaten by the monster.

I could use some help with trimming the descriptions of the A-Class articles to match the FAs and a blurb needs to be written for the battlecruiser list.

Hi, I saw you were online as you just made an edit several minutes ago so I decided to ask you this.
I just finished up creating my first article, Operation Marlborough, and I would like to ask for your thoughts on it. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for me on how to improve it or to proceed with it. An obvious answer would be to expand it, yes, but that's all the information I can find as of now. Oh, and I recently joined WP:MILITARY, so I'm hoping to create more articles for the project and improve existing ones.
Your honest opinions wanted, thanks. Xcalizorz ( talk) 20:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Ed, Some questions have been asked about the images on my Indefatigable FAC at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/HMS Indefatigable (1909)/archive1. Could you drop by and take a look since you have more experience with this sort of thing than I do? Plus, you know people who do copyright issues and can ask them for advice if necessary.

I'll start with the usual apology for being late :) I think it's almost two months this time... Anyway, Rivadavia class battleship is at FAC now (therefore beyond common mortals like me) so I took a look at ARA Moreno. I don't know much about battleships or South American politics in the early 20th century, so I guess this is from the viewpoint of a complete stranger to the article's subject.

We have our final eight! The best of luck to those who remain. A bumper newsletter this week as we start our home straight.
We say goodbye to the six who fell at the final hurdle. Geschichte ( submissions) only just missed out on a place in the final eight. Resolute ( submissions) was not far behind. Candlewicke ( submissions) was awarded top points for in the news this round. Gary King ( submissions) contributed a variety of did you know articles. Suomi Finland 2009 ( submissions) said "I'm surprised to have survived so far into the competition", but was extactic to see Finland in the semi-finals. Arsenikk ( submissions) did not score this round, but has scored highly in previous rounds. We also say goodbye to Ian Rose ( submissions), who withdrew earlier this month after spending six weeks overseas. Anyone interested in this round's results can see them here and here. Thank you to Stone ( submissions) for these.
Signups for next year's competition are now open. Planning is ongoing, with a key discussion about judges for next year open. Discussion about how next year's scoring will work is ongoing, and thoughts are more than welcome at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring. Also, TonyTheTiger is compiling some information and statistics on the finalists here- the final eight are encouraged to add themselves to the list.
Our final eight will play it out for two months, after which we will know 2010's WikiCup winner, and a variety of prizes will be awarded.
