Extend PC time? -- George Ho ( talk) 01:11, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi all, I'm moving across town later today and won't have immediate access to the Internet (it's not set up yet). Should anything urgent come up (doubtful), I'll reply as soon as possible. Thanks, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 15:39, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Slightly long title in Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-05-07/Featured_content but I've been trying to either have something amusing or at least a quote, and... that's the best I've come up with. It's that, or swap the images and use "Water, water everywhere" for a likely dry aqueduct, which doesn't appeal. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 02:06, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's 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 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 ChrisGualtieri ( submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Cliftonian ( submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and 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 Reid,iain james ( submissions), tiger from Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) and The Lion King from Igordebraga ( submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Czar ( submissions) and 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2014-05-07/Featured_content I managed to find an image from the work of every single competitor who advanced. Ye may want to split the Wikicup off to its own article. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 23:03, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

So, the entire talk page has devolved into attacks on featured pictures. Great. I'm going to sleep on it, but if this continues, and the WikiCup judges don't start laying the smackdown, I'm withdrawing. The WikiCup is meant to be a friendly competition. It's become a damn hostile one. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 02:26, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
How's the footer gallery look? Too much? Torn between that and giving a sample as the FP photo. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 22:25, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Is there any chance we could get the Signpost advertised a bit more? We've been getting a bit under a thousand viewers to each FC article, according to stats.grok.se, and that's awfully low for the amount of work that FC takes. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 20:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

I've prepared some material in recognition of User:Casliber's achievment of 100 featured articles – Wikipedia's second FA centurion. The text is here; you may need to cut it a bit if you're short of space. Can I ask you to pick it up – I've forgottem how to transfer it directly to Signpost.
