The fact was ... that on his debut album, The Experiment, Dane Rumble found it difficult to write his former band's usual hip hop music, so he turned to pop rock? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Oh, I should have passed it yesterday :( I'm sorry. Really? I'll work on it, but it needs to be converted to prose. That will take a few days, lol :D Maybe we can work together? What do you say? Good night :) Novice7 ( talk) 11:24, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ada, I'm afraid I don't have those chart subscriptions. Sorry. If you as Legolas... he might be able to find positions from his billboard.biz subscription. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 15:34, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for showing me that! I'm not trying to cause trouble or vandalize. Just contributing. Cowik ( talk) 05:17, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
Round 2 of the
2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round.
Casliber (
submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Nergaal (
submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored;
featured sounds,
featured portals and
featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to
Candlewicke (
submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on
In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn and The ed17 19:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

hiiiiiiiiiiii Adabow thanx 4 uploading the song but u have written in comments that u have uploaded the whole song. i really love this song and i want that.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adi21124 ( talk • contribs) 08:52, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Andrew, yeah I usually don't (I should) copy-edit the articles before nominating them. Don't worry, I'll give it a thorough re-write and copy-edit tomorrow :)-- CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 07:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much taking the time to review the article, Adabow. User Sylvia Anna posted three comments on the review page along with a paragraph on the talk page so be sure to take a look at those. Your feedback would be appreciated. Thanks again! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:41, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Can you review this please? Thanks. Meadows of Heaven ( talk) 19:42, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello Adabow! I was wondering, if you are not too busy, if you would be willing to reassess " Super Bass" for me? I've reconstructed the entire article since it was deemed Start-Class, and I would like to get the opinion of a Wiki-Elder on how it's going so far. Please and thank you :] Theuhohreo ( talk) 17:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey Adabow! Thanks for commenting on my FL. Just one question I am confused as to what you meant with making the headers for the columns and rows invisible? Do you mind clarifying? Thanks! Btw your other issues have been addressed.-- Blackjacks101 ( talk) 20:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm so sad to see the single flop like this. It has already exited the top 100 of iTunes (and will probably exit the Billboard Hot 100). Gaga's Judas moved up to number 10! My fave " Just a Kiss" is gonna debut big!! Novice7 ( talk) 04:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Andrew. Do you still have hope that a video will save the song. It is currently at number 80 on iTunes. Jivesh • Talk2Me 13:12, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Ada! Can you add an analysis of this to the article? Novice7 ( talk) 05:46, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
You mentioned something about finding nominations. The article could use a summary of all the Grammy categories that this song was nominated in. Also, if you know how to find any reviews of the duet, that would help the article.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 13:13, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Can you finish adding in the Billboard issn and such now that the article has most of its details filled in.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 12:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm bad at it, but can you do it for "Judas" and "Born This Way"? — Legolas (talk2me) 05:35, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Ada, if you're free, can you copyedit Just a Kiss? I'm out to lunch now, and I wrote the article hastily. I have written a lot of poor sentences, I'm sure. Thanks in advance :) Novice7 ( talk) 07:55, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
