Armbrust, I was wondering if you could update the infobox photo of Kelly Cramer with the white background like you did for the other One Life to Live character profiles. I think it would be better to have that type of picture up to be in accordance with the other characters. Thanks a lot! 149.4.42.21 ( talk) 16:44, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I'll try with a lower quality file. -- Niquinio ( talk) 17:10, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
I've uploaded this because I have the premision from the owner to use only this version of the file, otherwise it will be copyrighted. The TV Boy ( talk) 18:36, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. I thought there was some other picture with that name, so I decided to cancel the upload but didn't know how. Thanks again! Bahavd Gita ( talk) 20:47, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
I notice you undid some of the redirects on Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. I started a discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Citadel of Chaos to try and see what should be done. Regards. Szzuk ( talk) 23:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

How is that the case when File:NMSU Aggies Logo.tif is currently in-use on 3 pages that are related to the school. SteveoJ ( talk) 06:12, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing my page on finding highly composite numbers. This is my first page, so please excuse me for not getting everything right first time. I have added categories and a reference and removed the corresponding tags that you rightly placed into the article. I hope that's ok. There is still the wikify tag left. Please tell me what I need to do before I am justified in removing the tag. Also, I was surprised to find that Mathematics and Number Theory are not preexisting categories. I don't know whether I should just remove those category references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torkel1001 ( talk • contribs) 07:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Is there any reason not to use File:Logo for US National Whitewater Center.svg in the article's infobox? The confusion was started when User:Whitewater center converted a photo to a logo (for unknown reason), which you reverted, and then uploaded the logo separately. But there was already a logo file, which displays better than the jpg logo that was first uploaded by User:Whitewater center. Thanks. HowardMorland ( talk) 09:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I'm quite new to this, but I will state my case for inclusion of the Bradford Dragons on Wikipedia. Firstly many of the other teams in the English basketball league have entries, many not as long as my entry. Secondary I followed very closely what had been written about similar basketball teams the Manchester Magic and Leeds Carnegie. this entry was only meant to give the public similar information as on other teams and does not contain bias towards them. Bradford Dragons also attract crowds upwards of 200 many more than similar clubs who have a page on Wikipedia. If Bradford Dragons aren't deemed worthy of a page then surely other basketball teams with less popularity and interest around the country must also be deleted. Many thanks Elsy1990 ( talk) 03:38, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust. This week you used Twinkle to request an A7 speedy deletion for a page I created, Twin Sister. The speedy delete has been declined as a matter of course, but this is beside the point, I just want to point to the guidelines for using Twinkle to request speedy deletion for new articles - Wikipedia:New pages patrol#New pages that may require deletion - and in particular this paragraph:
Now, I'm not going to accuse you of abuse of the system here, but this nomination was clearly on this basis - significance was already asserted in several ways. Please stop and read an article next time before doing this. Thanks. Bienfuxia ( talk) 04:54, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
The article Finding highly composite numbers is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Finding highly composite numbers until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Gandalf61 ( talk) 13:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello, my friend. I am sure you get this question a lot, but I don't know the answer. In regard to the above image, I uploaded it at about noon and placed it in the Marie Mattingly Meloney article some ten minutes later. Perhaps there should be a greater time lag before a message about Speedy Deletion is sent? What do you think? Sincerely, GeorgeLouis ( talk) 20:43, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm long, long overdue in thanking you for helping out at WP:FFU, it's great to have you aboard, and considering how February is shaping up to be for me, I'm glad that I know that someone is watching the page when I can't be doing so.

Hi there, and thanks for your help. It appears that they may have the following image cued for deletion due to no fair use rationale provided. I have provided what I believe to be the acceptable rationale in the file description page now. Can we get the deletion template removed as this is an album cover in low resolution that fits the criteria as described on the Wikipedia page for acceptable rationale for this type of image. Also I do have express permission from the owner of the image. thanks for all your help on wikipedia! Damnsell ( talk) 06:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Dear Armbrust, I've seen your request for deletion on a newly created page for Nilit. I have requested user rights to modify the page's title so second letter wont be capitalized (my mistake during creation). All the rest of the content is accurate and if any of the content/structure needs modification I would appreciate your guidance to correct it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OmriSh ( talk • contribs) 17:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
A user has place a clean up tag on the article. Since you are a very good writer (and has contributed to good articles). Will you take a look at the article, and see what they may be talking about that needs cleanup? I designed the practice and qualifying section the same as the others, but the background section may need it. I was never to happy about that section. So if you not too busy could you help? Thanks.

Hi! You recently placed a refimprove tag and an update tag on the 2010-11 curling season page.

Thank you. Prayerfortheworld ( talk) 18:47, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust. Although you have a high edit count and !vote for or against new admins, I see you've never contributed to this discussion. The on-going talk makes suggestions on how to make RfA a friendlier place that will encourage more editors of the right calibre to come forward and run for office. One of the main reasons our experienced editors are staying away is because of this. Please don't hesitate to voice your opinion on either page. Regards, -- Kudpung ( talk) 04:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed your comments on why you opposed an RfA recently, and that one of your reasons was a high percentage of automated edits. I was wondering- how much would a high percentage of automated edits count against a RfA candidate, at least to you? (by high, I mean in the 60s) -- Slon02 ( talk) 22:59, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Unrelated to the above, but as an FYI, a recent edit of yours is provided as an example case in a discussion at WT:RFA. – xeno talk 15:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust, in case you weren't aware, there are some discussions going on at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship re the question section in RFAs. As you have recently asked some I thought you might be interested in the discussion. Ϣere SpielChequers 11:58, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Rantoul and Die 2011.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Article of the month –
2010 Price Chopper 400, a recent
GA
The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The race was also the third event in the ten round Chase for the Sprint Cup competititon , which would concluded the 2010 season. Greg Biffle, of the Roush Fenway Racing team, won the race, with Jimmie Johnson finishing second and Kevin Harvick third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Jeff Gordon, who started in the third position on the grid, remained behind him. Twenty-three laps later Jeff Gordon became the leader of the race. After the final pit stops, Paul Menard became the leader of the race, but with less than fifty laps remaining, Biffle passed him. He maintained the first position to lead a total of sixty laps, and to win his second race of the season. There were five cautions and twenty lead changes among twelve different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Greg Biffle's second win in the 2010 season, and the sixteenth of his career. The result moved Biffle up to eighth in the Drivers' Championship, eighty-five points behind Jimmie Johnson and sixteen ahead of Jeff Burton. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-seven ahead of Toyota and seventy-seven ahead of Ford, with seven races remaining in the season. A total of 100,000 people attended the race, while 5.25 million watched it on television.

Hi Armbrust, sorry to bother you with a page which you had not been working on, but I cannot find how to leave
User:Rlholden
a message anywhere. I think Rlholden may have been the helpful user who left {{

on the
8-Bit Operators: The Music of Kraftwerk. I believe I have fixed the issues with the page now and wondered if that note can be removed, or do you see anything else that needs to be addressed? You had helped me on another page I was working on before and since you were the last user I had contact with, I thought I would ask you or ask if you know how to forward the message to Rlholden somehow, if he is the user I need to address this with. Thanks again, and sorry if this is wrong protocol, I couldn't find a fitting link in the 'contact wikipedia' section that seemed the right one.

Hello, I requested speedy deletion F8 for my own upload. I was receiving upload errors while attempting to upload it to the English Wikipedia but was successful uploading it at the Commons which is a more appropriate location for it anyway.

Please slow down on your F7 tagging. You've tagged many book cover and album cover images for F7, even though book covers are one of the most common uses accepted under fair use — for example, the featured article on Night has a non-free cover. Nyttend ( talk) 22:38, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger ( submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Hurricanehink ( submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Casliber ( submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to Jarry1250 ( submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Stone ( submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) 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.

Armbrust, your participation in RfAs is appreciated of course, but adding five questions is a bit much. Moreover, and see the discussion on the talk page, not all of these questions are reasonable or helpful. Question 11 was struck (I don't know by who), and that's a good thing. But note specifically the discussion on the talk page of "write a rationale opposing yourself." Come on, how could anyone answer that fairly? You leave a candidate only two options: simply write out something not so convincing and far from true that they then turn into a benefit ("Sometimes I've been called too detail-oriented..."), or you give them a free opportunity to get irritated and shoot themselves in the foot. Please refrain from asking that question--it isn't fair and it doesn't help anyone. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 04:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Dear Admin, I got the confirmation from Dr. Manoj Kumar Verma, Assistant Professor, Mizoram University to put his image on Wikipedia, and he may be contact on his mail for confirmation - manojdlisbhu@gmail.com, and it is according the policy of Wikipedia and I am doing according to rules.

Hi Armbrust. You seem to know a lot about pictures etc. Would this picture be alright to upload. I think it's alright as it would come under the historically significant category.

Hello, will you consider withdrawing Xenogenesis (film) from AFD? You are right that the topic did not appear notable based on the article, but AFD is for determining of there is no significant coverage of the topic outside of the article. A few search queries show that the short is mentioned pretty often when James Cameron is profiled, and I added one of the references to the article. The book The Futurist has even more details about the short. Erik ( talk | contribs) 00:41, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Some might consider singling out articles in this manner and bombarding them with mostly inapplicable or duplicative cleanup tags to be disruptive. What do you think? Trying to make a point much? wjemather bigissue 17:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you confirmed the OTRS ticket for File:4guru nigamananda.gif. Are you sure it's genuine? Because there is no sourcing to the four component pictures, and they appear to be all of some historical personalities, so I'm finding it rather unlikely the uploader actually took all of them. If they are all old enough to be PD, their provenance ought to be individually documented, don't you think? Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my first submission to wikipedia. The article has been deleted, and I am not even sure why. I was hoping to have more time to edit it, and most importantly I need some help in the references issue. The help notes were not really helpful to me. I want to consult about the reliability of the references, as in my case, all the references are from websites whether governmental or by non-profit professional organizations, professional societies and professional journals of such organizations. The name of the author and the date of being last updated are not necessarily mentioned in these websites. I wonder if this is an issue? I revised several biographies for similar professions as my article (Photographers)and I mostly found personal websites not even governmental or societies. I will really appreciate an help in this regard. Best wishes! ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 18:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC))
Thanks Armbrust for your welcoming encouraging note! I found the article but in a a status awaiting review. I wonder how to postpone this step, as the article is not ready for review yet as I am still reading the links you referred me to. Is there an action to revert the status to editing not ready for submission?? Thanks again for your help. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 19:52, 24 March 2011 (UTC))
Dear Armbrust. Thank you for your support and offer to help. I read the links your referred me as well as your previous notes and re-evaluated my writing accordingly.
I would like to send the article first for a preliminary review before I actually submit it; how to do this step?? I appreciate A LOT your kindness and time and I apologize for the lengthy message. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 22:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC))
Dear Armbrust, thanks for the beneficial comments. I edited the work as suggested. Kindly, will you have a look and advice? Best wishes. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 00:45, 25 March 2011 (UTC))
Thank you very much for your patience and effort that you did to guide me through my first wikipedia article. I really want to work on the article to get to the next level. I wonder how to upload images to this article. I tried to leave you Barnstar,... I hope that I succeeded in this. Best wishes. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 14:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC))

2010 Ford 400, a new
Good Article
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap of the race. Edwards started in the second position on the grid, and became the leader of the race on the fourth lap. Shortly after a restart on lap 22, championship leader Denny Hamlin spun sideways, resulting with damage to his splitter. Martin Truex, Jr. took the lead on lap 73, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, having led it for 192 laps. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television. There were ten cautions in the race, as well as twenty-five lead changes among nine different drivers. Edwards' victory was his second win in the 2010 season, with the first coming the previous week at the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship. Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota.

Hi Armbrust, would like to extend my warm thanks for updating our logo on the Members and Education Credit Union. I just noticed that there is a 1 px grey keyline sitting above our logo.

Hi. If you move a draft article to AfC , as with Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/John Geanakoplos from Kahnsky ( talk), you should tell the user what you have done, particularly if you tag the resulting redirect for deletion. If the author is a newbie who has never had one, it's useful to give him a Welcome message as well. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 09:42, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Armbrust, I was wondering if you could update the infobox photo of Kelly Cramer with the white background like you did for the other One Life to Live character profiles.

Thanks for reviewing my page on finding highly composite numbers. This is my first page, so please excuse me for not getting everything right first time. I have added categories and a reference and removed the corresponding tags that you rightly placed into the article. I hope that's ok. There is still the wikify tag left. Please tell me what I need to do before I am justified in removing the tag. Also, I was surprised to find that Mathematics and Number Theory are not preexisting categories. I don't know whether I should just remove those category references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torkel1001 ( talk • contribs) 07:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Is there any reason not to use File:Logo for US National Whitewater Center.svg in the article's infobox? The confusion was started when User:Whitewater center converted a photo to a logo (for unknown reason), which you reverted, and then uploaded the logo separately. But there was already a logo file, which displays better than the jpg logo that was first uploaded by User:Whitewater center. Thanks. HowardMorland ( talk) 09:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I'm quite new to this, but I will state my case for inclusion of the Bradford Dragons on Wikipedia. Firstly many of the other teams in the English basketball league have entries, many not as long as my entry. Secondary I followed very closely what had been written about similar basketball teams the Manchester Magic and Leeds Carnegie. this entry was only meant to give the public similar information as on other teams and does not contain bias towards them. Bradford Dragons also attract crowds upwards of 200 many more than similar clubs who have a page on Wikipedia. If Bradford Dragons aren't deemed worthy of a page then surely other basketball teams with less popularity and interest around the country must also be deleted. Many thanks Elsy1990 ( talk) 03:38, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust. This week you used Twinkle to request an A7 speedy deletion for a page I created, Twin Sister. The speedy delete has been declined as a matter of course, but this is beside the point, I just want to point to the guidelines for using Twinkle to request speedy deletion for new articles - Wikipedia:New pages patrol#New pages that may require deletion - and in particular this paragraph:
Now, I'm not going to accuse you of abuse of the system here, but this nomination was clearly on this basis - significance was already asserted in several ways. Please stop and read an article next time before doing this. Thanks. Bienfuxia ( talk) 04:54, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
The article Finding highly composite numbers is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Finding highly composite numbers until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Gandalf61 ( talk) 13:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

In regard to the above image, I uploaded it at about noon and placed it in the Marie Mattingly Meloney article some ten minutes later.

Hi there. I'm long, long overdue in thanking you for helping out at WP:FFU, it's great to have you aboard, and considering how February is shaping up to be for me, I'm glad that I know that someone is watching the page when I can't be doing so.

Hi there, and thanks for your help. It appears that they may have the following image cued for deletion due to no fair use rationale provided. I have provided what I believe to be the acceptable rationale in the file description page now.

Dear Armbrust, I've seen your request for deletion on a newly created page for Nilit.

A user has place a clean up tag on the article. Since you are a very good writer (and has contributed to good articles). Will you take a look at the article, and see what they may be talking about that needs cleanup? I designed the practice and qualifying section the same as the others, but the background section may need it. I was never to happy about that section. So if you not too busy could you help? Thanks.

Hi Armbrust. Although you have a high edit count and !vote for or against new admins, I see you've never contributed to this discussion. The on-going talk makes suggestions on how to make RfA a friendlier place that will encourage more editors of the right calibre to come forward and run for office. One of the main reasons our experienced editors are staying away is because of this. Please don't hesitate to voice your opinion on either page. Regards, -- Kudpung ( talk) 04:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed your comments on why you opposed an RfA recently, and that one of your reasons was a high percentage of automated edits. I was wondering- how much would a high percentage of automated edits count against a RfA candidate, at least to you? (by high, I mean in the 60s) -- Slon02 ( talk) 22:59, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Armbrust, in case you weren't aware, there are some discussions going on at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship re the question section in RFAs. As you have recently asked some I thought you might be interested in the discussion. Ϣere SpielChequers 11:58, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Rantoul and Die 2011.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 13:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

2010 Price Chopper 400, a recent
GA
The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The race was also the third event in the ten round Chase for the Sprint Cup competititon , which would concluded the 2010 season. Greg Biffle, of the Roush Fenway Racing team, won the race, with Jimmie Johnson finishing second and Kevin Harvick third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Jeff Gordon, who started in the third position on the grid, remained behind him. Twenty-three laps later Jeff Gordon became the leader of the race. After the final pit stops, Paul Menard became the leader of the race, but with less than fifty laps remaining, Biffle passed him. He maintained the first position to lead a total of sixty laps, and to win his second race of the season. There were five cautions and twenty lead changes among twelve different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Greg Biffle's second win in the 2010 season, and the sixteenth of his career. The result moved Biffle up to eighth in the Drivers' Championship, eighty-five points behind Jimmie Johnson and sixteen ahead of Jeff Burton. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-seven ahead of Toyota and seventy-seven ahead of Ford, with seven races remaining in the season. A total of 100,000 people attended the race, while 5.25 million watched it on television.

You had helped me on another page I was working on before and since you were the last user I had contact with, I thought I would ask you or ask if you know how to forward the message to Rlholden somehow, if he is the user I need to address this with. Thanks again, and sorry if this is wrong protocol, I couldn't find a fitting link in the 'contact wikipedia' section that seemed the right one.

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger ( submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Hurricanehink ( submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Casliber ( submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to Jarry1250 ( submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Stone ( submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) 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.

Armbrust, your participation in RfAs is appreciated of course, but adding five questions is a bit much. Moreover, and see the discussion on the talk page, not all of these questions are reasonable or helpful. Question 11 was struck (I don't know by who), and that's a good thing. But note specifically the discussion on the talk page of "write a rationale opposing yourself." Come on, how could anyone answer that fairly? You leave a candidate only two options: simply write out something not so convincing and far from true that they then turn into a benefit ("Sometimes I've been called too detail-oriented..."), or you give them a free opportunity to get irritated and shoot themselves in the foot. Please refrain from asking that question--it isn't fair and it doesn't help anyone. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 04:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't know if you noticed but I blocked you by mistake for a moment there. It was completely my fault, I clicked on the wrong name and when I came here to deliver the block notice I saw it was the wrong user and undid it right away. Feel free to whack me in the head with this clue stick. Beeblebrox ( talk) 20:56, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Just for the future, all AfC submission categories should just contain {{ AFC submission category header}}, and not the category sorter that you added to today's AfC category. You can create them automatically by clicking the red links for them in that header. Logan Talk Contributions 21:44, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello, my friend. It is still very annoying when you remove a photo which has just been added to Wikipedia and before the editor can even place it into the article in question. I messaged you about this before. Hope this day finds you well. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis ( talk) 00:10, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Do you think the tag could now be removed from Tejarat Bank ? *** in fact *** ( contact ) 04:08, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Dear Armbrust, following your previous help with editing of the Nilit page, and following the requests of adding more link to the page from other terms and add more references I have updated the page. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the top box with all the comments in it now that the page is updated. I would appreciate your guidance on how to complete the edit process. thanks!!

Hi Armbrust. You seem to know a lot about pictures etc. Would this picture be alright to upload. I think it's alright as it would come under the historically significant category. As it is the moment that the Original Nine tennis players broke away from the ITF and the USTA. But what do you think. KnowIG ( talk) 23:25, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for dealing with the GA review of 2004 European Open while I was away. I appreciate it. Christopher Connor ( talk) 22:46, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello, will you consider withdrawing Xenogenesis (film) from AFD? You are right that the topic did not appear notable based on the article, but AFD is for determining of there is no significant coverage of the topic outside of the article. A few search queries show that the short is mentioned pretty often when James Cameron is profiled, and I added one of the references to the article. The book The Futurist has even more details about the short. Erik ( talk | contribs) 00:41, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Some might consider singling out articles in this manner and bombarding them with mostly inapplicable or duplicative cleanup tags to be disruptive. What do you think? Trying to make a point much? wjemather bigissue 17:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you confirmed the OTRS ticket for File:4guru nigamananda.gif. Are you sure it's genuine? Because there is no sourcing to the four component pictures, and they appear to be all of some historical personalities, so I'm finding it rather unlikely the uploader actually took all of them. If they are all old enough to be PD, their provenance ought to be individually documented, don't you think? Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
You removed the picture, stating "no rationale for this use and not eligible too (living person)". I understand the first part of that, but can you explain the not eligible part? BollyJeff || talk 20:49, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
The user Pick and roll ( talk · contribs) keeps moving articles incorrectly. I noticed you properly reverted one of them. I have reverted some but see that they are doing this a lot.

Thanks for uploading File:Ken Timbs.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 18:05, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
My apoligies, I did not check the history well enough. I found it very suspicious that two of the references are not verifiable. Andreas (T) 21:44, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Hay Group logo.gif. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

Thanks for adding the non-free rationale to the image pages. I completely forgot, also isn't there are template for the non-free rationale or am I mistaken? Anyhow, thanks again! :) — Ancient Apparition • Champagne? • 9:22am • 22:22, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my first submission to wikipedia. The article has been deleted, and I am not even sure why. I was hoping to have more time to edit it, and most importantly I need some help in the references issue. The help notes were not really helpful to me. I want to consult about the reliability of the references, as in my case, all the references are from websites whether governmental or by non-profit professional organizations, professional societies and professional journals of such organizations. The name of the author and the date of being last updated are not necessarily mentioned in these websites. I wonder if this is an issue? I revised several biographies for similar professions as my article (Photographers)and I mostly found personal websites not even governmental or societies. I will really appreciate an help in this regard. Best wishes! ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 18:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC))
Thanks Armbrust for your welcoming encouraging note! I found the article but in a a status awaiting review. I wonder how to postpone this step, as the article is not ready for review yet as I am still reading the links you referred me to. Is there an action to revert the status to editing not ready for submission?? Thanks again for your help. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 19:52, 24 March 2011 (UTC))
Dear Armbrust. Thank you for your support and offer to help. I read the links your referred me as well as your previous notes and re-evaluated my writing accordingly.
I would like to send the article first for a preliminary review before I actually submit it; how to do this step?? I appreciate A LOT your kindness and time and I apologize for the lengthy message. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 22:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC))
Dear Armbrust, thanks for the beneficial comments. I edited the work as suggested. Kindly, will you have a look and advice? Best wishes. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 00:45, 25 March 2011 (UTC))
Thank you very much for your patience and effort that you did to guide me through my first wikipedia article. I really want to work on the article to get to the next level. I wonder how to upload images to this article. I tried to leave you Barnstar,... I hope that I succeeded in this. Best wishes. ( Saharnsaleem ( talk) 14:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC))

2010 Ford 400, a new
Good Article
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap of the race. Edwards started in the second position on the grid, and became the leader of the race on the fourth lap. Shortly after a restart on lap 22, championship leader Denny Hamlin spun sideways, resulting with damage to his splitter. Martin Truex, Jr. took the lead on lap 73, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, having led it for 192 laps. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television. There were ten cautions in the race, as well as twenty-five lead changes among nine different drivers. Edwards' victory was his second win in the 2010 season, with the first coming the previous week at the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship. Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota.

Hi Armbrust, would like to extend my warm thanks for updating our logo on the Members and Education Credit Union. I just noticed that there is a 1 px grey keyline sitting above our logo. Can you please give me some advice on how I can get this removed so that the logo displays without this grey line? Joel.grace ( talk) 00:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. If you move a draft article to AfC , as with Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/John Geanakoplos from Kahnsky ( talk), you should tell the user what you have done, particularly if you tag the resulting redirect for deletion. If the author is a newbie who has never had one, it's useful to give him a Welcome message as well. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 09:42, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
