Hello Ceranthor, I went back to working on Regine Velasquez's, which I hope to renom some time soon. I was wondering if you could provide some random spot checks on the sourcing when you get a chance, since it was one of the reasons while it failed its prev nom. It had an issue with copyvio, which I have addressed (a portion of the article got ripped off and appeared on her iTunes bio). Pseud 14 ( talk) 02:43, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in ( here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}}
- if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}}
- if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.
I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.
So, I've decided to create " WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.
We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!
And... that's it!
I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) ( talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to 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, and let the best editor win!

Ceranthor, as you weren't pinged you probably didn't realize that the nominator of this GAN, which you were reviewing, has withdrawn the nomination. You'll want to close the review as unsuccessful. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:00, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm contacting you because you're an editor on the GA mentors list who likes science and I've just done my first review of the Fibrothorax article. Would you mind looking at my review? I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions. Thank you! originalmess how u doin that busta rhyme? 04:33, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello! I'm just in the process of completing my wikipedia article on the Olancha earthquake Series, I was wondering if you could review it or maybe just check my language, I'm usually very good with this just need another set of eyes. Thankyou! /info/en/?search=Olancha_Earthquake_Sequence_(2009)
Hello Ceranthor, I'm working on Terry stop and Consent search. Right now I'm doing research and putting some stuff in the Talk pages. I plan on working on this for the next few weeks. The articles, as written, are pretty bad, I would say. So I intend to rewrite them a little at a time. I'd like to invite you to the Talk pages to help me toss some ideas around, if you have the time.
Thanks! Seahawk01 ( talk) 03:06, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for this. I'm sorry that I did not see it until much later. All the accounts have been blocked – do you think any further action is necessary now? If you do I will do something but it won't be very immediate. Or it might just be that it's over and done with? Please advise. Thanks and best wishes DBaK ( talk) 08:13, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
