For what it's worth, there is a reason you didn't find William fitzRadulf - there isn't one. There is a William fitzRanulf who was the Whitchurch founder, the family having an association with Lewes. Farrer said that the earl's brother Ralph had a son William, because a William confirmed and extended his father Ranulf's donation to Lewes. The unstated assumption is that Ranulf = Radulf (Ralph). Clay confirms the existence of a William fitzRanulf as Whitchurch founder, Lewes donor, and also appearing in the Lilleshall chartulary, but rightly points out that just as this man is always William fitzRanulf, the earl's brother is always Radulf and the names Ranulf and Radulf are usually distinct.

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

"Ealdgyth" and " Justlettersandnumbers",
I readily admit that I am a bit bewildered as to how OSU (or anyone else for that matter) could have merely scanned a U.S. government publication and then "copyrighted it" when federal laws and regulations read to the contrary. Copyright laws clearly state that any work created by a federal government employee or officer is in the public domain, provided that the work was created in that person’s official capacity.
In fact, every volume of The War of the Rebellion: a Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies that OSU's Department of History has scanned onto their site clearly states in the "[ Preface]" that ... "By an act approved June 23,1874, Congress made an appropriation "to enable the Secretary of War to begin the publication of the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, both of the Union and Confederate Armies ... " And because it is a publication in the public domain, numerous academics and nonprofits have repeatedly scanned these ORs and posted them to their respective websites.
Here are but two such examples:

I want to take this time to reply against the accusations made by User:Doug Weller. His problem with me is two-folded.
As for my contact with User:Emeraude, which the previously mentioned person also threatened me for, we had already, as far as I'm concerned, parted as equals, with no further bad feelings between us. His overreactions was therefore uncalled for and only done with the intent to do further damage to my talk page and my reputation among the staff of Wikipedia.
I hope that by clearing up these issues, no further damage will be done

I have been working with a group of editors to completely rewrite and improve the article on the Women's liberation movement. This is in-effect the 50-year anniversary of its take-off propelled by the student protests in 1968 (yes, some groups started before but it took off in '68). We would like to submit it for GA, but are doing the final tweaks. I'd like to line up a reviewer before we submit it, as my files seem to languish there and we want someone who will do a thorough review, not a rubber stamp.
I think it is important that the same reviewer tackle the entirety of the subject, which means reviewing 5 articles. To show the breadth of the movement, we broke it up into a main article and the four continents on which it flourished. In speaking with Montanabw, she suggested you might take on the task, as she is swamped in real life. Would you be interested in reviewing the articles for us? (as a side note, do you know anyone fluent in Spanish who could review a nomination which has been pending since September 2017?) Thank you for any help or insight you can give.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2018).
Hi Ealdgyth, Thanks for adding short descriptions, it is a huge task and will take a long time, so more contributors are most welcome. Can I try to persuade you to use the template {{ short description}} which includes the magic word, instead of the bare magic word. The reason is twofold.
Re
this comment - I've been attracting alot of "heat" in trying to clean up the SPS use in the field (and I've mainly stuck to the really poor ones) - I haven't introduced any self-published work (and the lowest standard of source I've used is newspaper coverage - and that for contemporary stuff (e.g. coverage of 2000s and beyond)). Getting to the point, I am discouraged/concerned by your observation that there is little incentive for non-involved editors or admins to wade into this to give opinions, because the tone of editing by those most heavily involved is so poor.
- because un-involved opinion is exactly what is needed here. Without naming particular editor(s) - I usually challenge a source - and then face a fairly automatic "it's good" response (even on sources I do not think should even be up for discussion - e.g. Mark Paul) - and the only way to get out of that is 3rd party input. I have posted on noticeboards a few times, and I have launched a couple of rfCs on this (which have elicited outside input) - but I'm also trying not to overload the system too much (e.g. Anna Poray - which I've challenged, had general agreement on BLP/n (which in retrospect perhaps wasn't the best venue even though this did overlap with BDP/BLP policy) - and then after waiting for BLP/n to close (so - a couple of weeks) - faced a challenge on removing it - and now I'm mulling whether a RfC would the right thing to do and where). RS/n seems a bit "dead" for many of these topics (though it is livelier on RfCs) - some threads there go unanswered or have 1-2 editors commenting (also on topics well away from Poland related issues - it seems that if it isn't related to American politics or the Daily Mail that it is often quite dead). I have not been making personal attacks, at least as far as I'm aware. AE seems to be ill equipped to deal with inappropriate use of sources (looking at it as a content issue).
Cutting short on the TLDR above - what do you suggest I do better? What's the best process here? Icewhiz ( talk) 13:06, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

I want to take this time to reply against the accusations made by User:Doug Weller. His problem with me is two-folded.
As for my contact with User:Emeraude, which the previously mentioned person also threatened me for, we had already, as far as I'm concerned, parted as equals, with no further bad feelings between us. His overreactions was therefore uncalled for and only done with the intent to do further damage to my talk page and my reputation among the staff of Wikipedia.
I hope that by clearing up these issues, no further damage will be done

I have been working with a group of editors to completely rewrite and improve the article on the Women's liberation movement. This is in-effect the 50-year anniversary of its take-off propelled by the student protests in 1968 (yes, some groups started before but it took off in '68). We would like to submit it for GA, but are doing the final tweaks. I'd like to line up a reviewer before we submit it, as my files seem to languish there and we want someone who will do a thorough review, not a rubber stamp.
I think it is important that the same reviewer tackle the entirety of the subject, which means reviewing 5 articles. To show the breadth of the movement, we broke it up into a main article and the four continents on which it flourished. In speaking with Montanabw, she suggested you might take on the task, as she is swamped in real life. Would you be interested in reviewing the articles for us? (as a side note, do you know anyone fluent in Spanish who could review a nomination which has been pending since September 2017?) Thank you for any help or insight you can give.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2018).
Hi Ealdgyth, Thanks for adding short descriptions, it is a huge task and will take a long time, so more contributors are most welcome. Can I try to persuade you to use the template {{ short description}} which includes the magic word, instead of the bare magic word. The reason is twofold.
Re
this comment - I've been attracting alot of "heat" in trying to clean up the SPS use in the field (and I've mainly stuck to the really poor ones) - I haven't introduced any self-published work (and the lowest standard of source I've used is newspaper coverage - and that for contemporary stuff (e.g. coverage of 2000s and beyond)). Getting to the point, I am discouraged/concerned by your observation that there is little incentive for non-involved editors or admins to wade into this to give opinions, because the tone of editing by those most heavily involved is so poor.
- because un-involved opinion is exactly what is needed here. Without naming particular editor(s) - I usually challenge a source - and then face a fairly automatic "it's good" response (even on sources I do not think should even be up for discussion - e.g. Mark Paul) - and the only way to get out of that is 3rd party input. I have posted on noticeboards a few times, and I have launched a couple of rfCs on this (which have elicited outside input) - but I'm also trying not to overload the system too much (e.g. Anna Poray - which I've challenged, had general agreement on BLP/n (which in retrospect perhaps wasn't the best venue even though this did overlap with BDP/BLP policy) - and then after waiting for BLP/n to close (so - a couple of weeks) - faced a challenge on removing it - and now I'm mulling whether a RfC would the right thing to do and where). RS/n seems a bit "dead" for many of these topics (though it is livelier on RfCs) - some threads there go unanswered or have 1-2 editors commenting (also on topics well away from Poland related issues - it seems that if it isn't related to American politics or the Daily Mail that it is often quite dead). I have not been making personal attacks, at least as far as I'm aware. AE seems to be ill equipped to deal with inappropriate use of sources (looking at it as a content issue).
Cutting short on the TLDR above - what do you suggest I do better? What's the best process here? Icewhiz ( talk) 13:06, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
