That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader
Freikorp (
submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a
Featured Article on the 2001 film
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as
Godot13 (
submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge,
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.
In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

I just looked at the pools for the WikiCup and realized we were both in Pool B. It's a funny coincidence considering I just added the ISIL article to the Core Contest and first heard about you then. I won't get any WikiCup points for that article, so it shouldn't be a conflict of interest, but I thought it might be worth a chuckle. Tonystewart14 ( talk) 21:54, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

There's a couple of things I am having trouble finding a cite for:
Shady Lady White: A more adaptable form with larger flowers has succeeded the original stock (I removed this one)
Champagne: It is a three-way hybrid between T. speciosissima, T. oreades and the yellow-flowered form of T. truncata. (oreades not mentioned on PBR site) -- Melburnian ( talk) 09:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
I was wondering if you would be willing to look over the Camas pocket gopher article and give some feedback. I'm thinking of sending it again for FA. The first go around it got a lukewarm response, mostly from lack of interest than any critical issues. This is the only article that I have sent to FA. If you like, I can post it for Peer Review, so you could count any suggestions towards WikiCup. Thank you for considering. -- Gaff ( talk) 20:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
Ok, I've finished editing it and I've slotted it into this week's edition.
I hope that I have done justice to your thoughts in editing the writing, I've attempted to formalize and rigourize them. It's your essay so be sure to make any changes that you feel you need to make, but note that we're on a tight schedule this week because of some behind-the-scenes stuff.
The other editors will look over it and make whatever tweaks they think are necessary but I don't think there's too much trouble there.
How would you like it published? I've slotted it as an op-ed but it could also be published as a piece from the FCDW. I am...unsure of the status of that at this point. I've reached out to Sandy and I'm sure she/he's seen my message but she/he has not responded (gah! gender pronouns! hard!). Res Mar 05:25, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

You edited this with "bleh" -- can you say what this means? It looked dubious to me, and took me a while to see that you have being making lots of edits to make the section sequence consistent. So that's OK, but I suggest that edit summaries like this run the risk of reversion, since it is not immediately clear what you are doing.

Hello Cas,
I know you are busy but I do not know how else to deal with this. I am beavering away writing Melaleuca articles and last week spent a few hours editing Melaleuca uncinata, removing some unreferenced material and giving my reasons for doing so on Talk:Melaleuca_uncinata. Within a few hours, some of the carefully referenced material I had added was removed and the advertising and unreferenced material (advertising?) replaced by User talk:202.58.192.82. (I also wrote a note to the original author User talk:122.151.60.85 when I should have written it to the one who removed my edits). I added "citation needed" tags to the offending paragraphs but they have also been removed and the material referenced to an advertising site - "Davey Brushwood Fencing".
I have lots of articles I want to write and I'm happy to let sleeping dogs lie if you think that's best, but at the same time I don't think Wikipedia should be used to add links to advertising sites. Your advice would be much appreciated. ("G" for Geoff.)
Gderrin ( talk) 07:37, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was
Cas Liber (
submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on
Corona Borealis and
Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.
Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan ( talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa ( talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 ( talk · contribs · email) 16:26, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
I recall that you had some knowledge about nature in Australia. I was wondering what you thought about the page title for Frill-necked lizard, since the first sentence and the infobox use the form "frilled-neck lizard". Some consistency would probably be nice. I left a note on the article talk page a while ago, but I don't think anyone is actually watching that article.
I'm sure the page title just scratches the surface of problems with that article, but getting the name consistent seems like a good start! Zagalejo ^^^ 16:15, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader
Freikorp (
submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a
Featured Article on the 2001 film
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as
Godot13 (
submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge,
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

I was wondering if you would be willing to look over the Camas pocket gopher article and give some feedback. I'm thinking of sending it again for FA.

Ok, I've finished editing it and I've slotted it into this week's edition.
I hope that I have done justice to your thoughts in editing the writing, I've attempted to formalize and rigourize them. It's your essay so be sure to make any changes that you feel you need to make, but note that we're on a tight schedule this week because of some behind-the-scenes stuff.
The other editors will look over it and make whatever tweaks they think are necessary but I don't think there's too much trouble there.
How would you like it published? I've slotted it as an op-ed but it could also be published as a piece from the FCDW. I am...unsure of the status of that at this point.

You edited this with "bleh" -- can you say what this means? It looked dubious to me, and took me a while to see that you have being making lots of edits to make the section sequence consistent. So that's OK, but I suggest that edit summaries like this run the risk of reversion, since it is not immediately clear what you are doing.

Hello Cas,
I know you are busy but I do not know how else to deal with this. I am beavering away writing Melaleuca articles and last week spent a few hours editing Melaleuca uncinata, removing some unreferenced material and giving my reasons for doing so on Talk:Melaleuca_uncinata. Within a few hours, some of the carefully referenced material I had added was removed and the advertising and unreferenced material (advertising?) replaced by User talk:202.58.192.82. (I also wrote a note to the original author User talk:122.151.60.85 when I should have written it to the one who removed my edits). I added "citation needed" tags to the offending paragraphs but they have also been removed and the material referenced to an advertising site - "Davey Brushwood Fencing".
I have lots of articles I want to write and I'm happy to let sleeping dogs lie if you think that's best, but at the same time I don't think Wikipedia should be used to add links to advertising sites. Your advice would be much appreciated. ("G" for Geoff.)
Gderrin ( talk) 07:37, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your edits to this article Cas. I am surprised that you left the link to the advertising page (daveybrushwood.com.au) but I value your judgement highly. I hope your edits don't get removed like mine were. Thanks also for your DYK nominations. My beavering rewarded! All the best to you.

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was
Cas Liber (
submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on
Corona Borealis and
Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.
Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards.

Hello,
I recall that you had some knowledge about nature in Australia. I was wondering what you thought about the page title for Frill-necked lizard, since the first sentence and the infobox use the form "frilled-neck lizard". Some consistency would probably be nice. I left a note on the article talk page a while ago, but I don't think anyone is actually watching that article.
I'm sure the page title just scratches the surface of problems with that article, but getting the name consistent seems like a good start! Zagalejo ^^^ 16:15, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Fremantle Prison/archive2 was closed as "not enough commentary to come close to consensus to promote, plus it sounds like restructuring may be in order ... and ask that further improvements be made outside the FAC process". The prose is now down to 49.9k characters, and I have adjusted/trimmed the lead. I think I've addressed your remaining FAC comments (aside from the bits in the lead, which were awaiting consensus from other reviwers). Would you mind taking another look at the article – in particular, do you think any more improvements or restructuring is needed before another FAC nomination? Thanks, - Evad37 [ talk 13:47, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
